They aren't kidding about the San Diego airport's proximity to downtown... I can literally see my apartment as we land if I sit on the appropriate side of the plane and I typically walk home down Pacific Highway to stretch my legs after a flight.
It’s to the benefit of Facebook, and other businesses harvesting and selling access to personal information, to call this a “war.” It’s similar to the modern headline news approach to politics — everything is a horse race, everything is sports. The competition becomes the story, rather than the substance behind it.

Calling this a “war” lays bare the views of many who believe this is only two tech giants duking it out over market territory, that the only substance here is the competition itself. It’s just like sports! We can root for our favorites!

It shows the fundamentally nihilistic attitude of many capitalists, that every commercial entity is _of course_ solely concerned with making as much money as possible, and that any talk of ethics or principles or honest benefit to their customers is smoke and mirrors. Of course, this is simply untrue. Many businesses do operate at least partly on ethical principle. Many businesses do try to do right by their customers, and not only because of the monetary rewards associated with success.

This scares the shit out of some capitalists, though, who want to believe that making money is the highest ethical good to which a commercial entity can aspire. Apple is an inconvenient example for these people. What if what Apple says is true? What if it really does matter to Apple that their customers have privacy? Then we have an example of a financially-successful business which is not operating in the most rapacious way possible, and this throws all sorts of wrenches into their late-stage capitalist fantasies.

I’m not demonizing capitalism — it works for me. But the WSJ is definitely the high priest at the altar here, and it seriously fucks with their narrative to even admit that commercial competition can be about anything other than money. Thus it must be a nihilistic “war.”
All the European developers I worked with in Berlin used Macs. I can understand using Linux, but using Windows as a web developer just doesn't make sense because all of the tutorials and stack overflow discussions and forum discussions will assume you're using a Unix shell.
Renting a tesla for a few days will cost more than I paid for my current car. Admittedly it's 22 years old, but it still does what I need.
The article does state the reasons for the rules and gives examples how not following them may lead to troubles.
That may be the case in certain institutions at certain points in time. We certainly can't generalise from a single anecdote. I have had different experiences.
I'm not one to defend the "mac experience" but some of the stuff you mention I actually really like, namely like the separate key-combo for switching between app windows and the two modes of full screen (although I never use full-full screen anymore).

Finder is definitely not great. It's improved over the years which is kind of sad as it's not a whole lot better. You still can't cmd+x a file to move it to another location. I'm not sure when it happened (probably a while ago) but you can actually rename files in open dialogs now! I didn't notice when it happened because I gave up trying many years ago.

Anyway, I like macos as it gives me a linux-esque command-line experience out of the box without having dive into managing a Linux installs (although that's probably not as big a deal as I think it is), because the hardware is nice, and otherwise because it's just what I'm used to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For non-developer reasons, Logic, even though not the best, is so insanely cheap for what you get, and as a light gamer, Minecraft runs decently well on my Mac Mini.
If bob and steve are going around saying Nature is very political, they're wrong, but who cares? If bob and steve are going around telling people masks are harmful (and that's causing the mistaken belief to spread), then bob and steve are causing direct harm, and their voice amplifier should be taken away. Nobody is going to put duct tape on their mouth.

Streaming services have already stopped publishing entire seasons, going back to the TV model of an episode a week. This is to prevent people from subscribing to a service, watching a whole season, then canceling the service.

But that still lets people wait until the whole season is over, watch it, then cancel. To avoid that behavior, IMO streaming will move more and more to the TV model: it's available for a limited time, maybe 1 week, maybe the last few episodes, then it's removed. If you want to watch the old stuff, pay more, either by the episode, by the season, etc. Amazon is already doing that with Fringe for example: you can watch Season 1 at no cost, but the other seasons will cost you.

Media companies are gross. It's a damn shame the media producers didn't just put all their shit on Netflix for one low price, but greed all around would have likely never let that work either.
The pressure on NHS budgets is largely due to economic conditions. Looking at funding compared to GDP rather than nominal terms shows this. NHS funding peaked at 7.5% of GDP in 2010, but that peak was mainly due to a drop in GDP, not an increase in funding. With tax revenue declining due to recession and an extended period of low growth those funding levels were unsustainable. We're still actually spending about the same percentage of GDP on health care now as we were in 2009.

The blue bars in the chart are recessions, when funding relative to GDP jumped mainly due to a drop in GDP, not an increase in funding.

https://www.nuffieldtrust.org.uk/news-item/70-years-of-nhs-s...

The historical lesson is yes, if you want big increases in NHS funding elect a Labour government (although by 1997 the Conservatives were already ramping up health care spending), but I'm not convinced the UK economy has much leeway to support spending a lot more than the current 7% of GDP on health care.
My mother only found out she had cancer when she saw a GP for an unrelated condition.
What a ridiculous argument tactic (“since you can’t reckon with the totality of a system according to my arbitrary standard you can’t critique it”).

Furthermore, complaining about the use of “you Americans” is childish tone policing and something one does when they are unable to address the merits of an argument. Maybe if you had an actual argument you could think up something else to share, rather than attempts to stymie discussion because it appears to make you uncomfortable.

Lastly, you brought up nationalism. From my vantage point (as another American) it looks like you’re just trying to shut down debate instead of face the reality of the outcomes we Americans have engineered for our most vulnerable populations.
the point is they aren't, they say we are against ads, and the whisper "except ours".
if this will be they true purpose you may say what can they do?, don't sell ads.
Globally, the root cause is definitely not „christian fascists“. For example in my country it's woke neoliberals pushing the notion of schooling freemarketisation. At the same time claiming that teachers' salary increase won't help with terrible students' performance at exams :)
Woah, interesting! I didn't know that Make could launch programs directly. Is that specific to GNU Make?
Isn't your argument really an argument against paying taxes in general?
...thus the small rocket contained in every spin launch.
the most common problem in pretty much every Makefile I've ever seen is not specifying the dependencies correctly

like nested header files, or forgetting to update them when the code is changed

(so everyone runs make clean all instead every time...)
It seems pretty obvious that there are multiple contributing factors, including both long-standing capacity issues, the long-standing obesity issue, and the unintended consequences of lockdowns.
These are java developers, though, so probably the dregs.
Email can replace only the password, leaving you with 2FA still.

Another messaging channel is fine of course. You could replace email address by a phone number for SMS/WhatsApp/Signal. Is that more secure though? Would a user rather give your random app their phone number than email address?

Secret questions are usually very much not secret (less safe than password). They are way easier to uncover about a person, and still very much subject to re-use across sites.

I am telling you that I haven't found anything as good and you reply that I must not have taken a single minute to think about it. I guess there's nothing more for us to discuss.
The driver has to be liable, until the L5 system has lower error-rate than a human. For regulatory and liability reasons, it should be registered as an L2 until it's perfect. No one has ever claimed that FSD is a finished product.
I feel the same way. I strongly believe that choice of language makes a huge difference in your material’s reception. Any time I am told that something I’m doing is wrong by an article, an inanimate piece of text that clearly has no cognition thus no idea what I’m doing or not doing, I think that the person who wrote it, is, in fact, communicating wrong.

I was on the fence about posting this reply; after all the guidelines tell us to stay relevant to the material, but I do believe you have done that.
I’m willing to let stupid people sacrifice themselves rather than sacrifice everybody else’s freedom.

Can't you do something similar to what the engineers in the rocket throwing video are doing?
So you just put up with a crappy trackpad?
That's nice, except sometimes innocent people are the victim. Like the children. Or, in the context of a pandemic, all the other people who are exposed because Bob and Steve won't put a mask on or get a jab.
The very simple answer to your question is, the developers that have made these great things weren't Management people. They don't generally work in MiS, and when they target something, they've just gone their own way.

This leaves multiple fragmented camps of GUI to target, increasing the technical debt before you can get anything done. Wayland was a step forward, but overall 20 years too late. This stuff isn't rocket science; if something hasn't been done its a structural issue that needs to be addressed but the project maintainers of the projects that you would need to target don't see it that way.

Why should someone that puts effort in to a project like this be forced into a dovetailed management strategy that is doomed to maintainability failure as a 1 bus factor project.
There is actually a two-way relationship between the body and the mind: On the one hand, the mind can cause psychosomatic pain. On the other, pain as well as food, posture, breathing, behaviour, etc. can affect one's psychology and therefore their thoughts.
We've had privatisation experiments in English healthcare for years.

Dentistry is a fucking mess. Eye care is a fucking mess. Care and Nursing homes are a fucking mess. Large private provision of GP care? They can't do it and they hand the contracts back. Specialist commissioning in mental health? It's a fucking mess.

> It's run by Whitehall and politicians, with little input from those actually doing the real work.

If you say things like this it makes me think that you don't know that NHSEngland/Improvement is an arms-length-body, nor what that means in terms of command and control of the English NHS. It makes me think that you didn't know what CCGs were nor how they worked, and that you don't know what an ICS/ICB is nor how they work.
I mean personally I use iCloud and Google Drive, but i fully understand that at any point Apple or Google could decide to hand all of my data to a government, accidently turn off all their security and let anybody access my data, delete my data, or even go bankrupt.

But the point I was making was that it was hard for a laymen to decide to avoid using any of the bigtech companies, since so many of the small upstarts are just build on-top of the existing bigtech and aren't forthcoming on if they own the datacentre or if its Azure/Aws etc, so for those who they really did have privacy as their key driver it probably would be easier to self-host, or you have to trust somebody.

The adage that there's no such thing as cloud computing, just somebody else's computer makes sense. If you're that concerned with privacy it's far easier to run your own.
> Anyway, I think in 2022, operating system choice is more of a personal preference thing than a technical one. They're all equally bad, just in different ways.

I like most of your post since I agree with a lot of it, but I'd like to try to convince you that it's never been better to be a computer user. OSes are _mostly_ stable, have a clear design goal for users, have multiple well supported shell environments for power users, extremely strong cross-system software (i.e., you can use Firefox et. al., on basically anything), plugging in hardware very likely will "just work" for most hardware, the list goes on.

Most importantly, UI/UX conventions are pretty well established regardless of the OS you pick; for example, while I'm rarely in an actual UI on the linux boxes I work with, more or less it works the way I expect based on Mac/Windows. Hitting the CMD/Meta key brings up a system search utility (this is partially happenstance from MacOS as I believe it's the default hotkey for spotlight...but I use quicksilver on ctrl+space so I might be mistaken) Even the mobile space between major Android releases and iOS are very consistent, Android having a slight blemish in the regional minor releases that lack major Android features.

The point is that I think a lot of established UI/UX defaults for OSes are mature enough that edge cases or test cases are the rough edges. There are elements from each OS I miss, elements they share which are equally frustrating (truly, I wish MS and Apple would document the registry/defaults command respectively in full. Both let you tweak the system to an amazing degree to make a perfectly customizable experience, but you basically have to hope someone else has posted it on stackoverflow/reddit/whatever if you want to discover it).

I grew up starting with Mac OS6 and didn't touch a Windows computer until well into my teens or use one daily until I was 20, and the adaptation period was literally a day or two. My friend was windows/linux for his entire life, saw me using my Mac for browsing tabletop PDFs when we were in university, and was intrigued by the way the UI/UX worked and has been a convert ever since, learning the UI in a few days and only a few questions.

It's really never been better to be a user, and I'm kind of amazed that OS wars continue in 2022. Computers are great. Software/Tech Companies are another story...

> I can't find any (non-anecdotal) evidence that a "bloated" registry impacts performance at all on a modern system. If you have benchmarks or something, I would love to see them! (not being a jerk, I really would).

have to comment on this because I agree, it's a non-issue, but the number of registry cleaners that exist or people's self-invented solutions cause far more problems than they solve. Which is a pretty easy task as typically they solve 0 problems directly.
Largely because the Tories are also willing to be fairly openly xenophobic, which is very popular with a large portion of the public. "Making sure the poors don't take more than they deserve" is another one of their popular policies.

The more-well-off also think Tory policies will get them a house and security. In practice, the UK housing market is completely fucked and gets more so every year, but... it doesn't stop people believing it.

Basically the health of the NHS is about the tenth thing on some people's minds when voting, until they get cancer or break an arm, at which point they start complaining about it.
I said it's curious not I'm curious. I observed something. I didn't request something.
I think it’s because a non-profit receives tax subsidies in that donations are tax deductible and they don’t pay income tax and frequently pay reduced property tax.

If they make millions or billions from licensing to HBO then they don’t pay taxes on that. They can also distribute those gains to employees and management in the form of bonuses or featherbedding.

And they don’t pay taxes on the sale.

So it seems more like a tax dodge than just a moral argument that government shouldn’t fund private enterprises. Or at least claim that it’s for public good.
The article describes two ways this can happen:

“Little sister”: a break-up event by an earlier near-collision with earth, and Earth’s gravitational forces breaking up the asteroid, and collision happening in a later orbit.

“Little cousin”: a collision in the asteroid belt breaks up an asteroid, and the fragments hit earth later.

Google gives me no hits for these terms, except for discussion of this article, though.
If a satellite thrown by this system fails, it won't make orbit, so it won't become space junk. Even if it did make orbit; space junk in LEO isn't such a huge deal, it will fall out of the sky within a few months/years. Kessler syndrome is a popular but frequently overstated meme.

With regard to weight, they say this system works best with very dense payloads. But that's only for the spin/toss stage; it doesn't account for the rocket booster needed to actually bring the satellites into orbit.

As for testing, engineers don't need as much empirical testing anymore, since we have very good computer simulations now. Most of the satellites launched with this would probably be variations on a handful of designs. But I don't understand where the demand for such a launch system comes from anyway. There is only so much demand for school project cube sats; communication satellites launched this way seem dubious (not least because you can launch dozens/hundreds of them at once with a rocket like Falcon 9 or Starship)
https://man.openbsd.org/acme-client.1 is similar. I'm not sure if it was ported to Linux.

Do you have any evidence that teachers are all using “automated teaching services”? I’ve never heard of such a thing.
They certainly do sometimes. Play Store developer accounts seem to be particularly vulnerable, but I would not rely on it being restricted to that.
Do I really need citations for free market growth? Every country that tries it gets good results - the more free market, the better.

Communist economies always wind up facing famine.

Communist China, for example, switched from a communist economy to a free market one. Look at the results. Korea split in two, one communist, one free market. Which one prospered? East vs West Germany, same story.

The US tried central economic planning for gasoline in the 1970's (repealed by Reagan as his first EO). Disaster. The US tried central economic planning for airline routes, fares, and schedules up until Reagan ended that. The result was a huge increase in efficiency and low fares.
There are some problems with the system you're objecting to, but the "veterans and random college students" qualification some places are moving to is... worse.
How do you get started with FDB? I found it very powerful but couldn’t find good set of instructions on how to setup and scale.

What is "choose and book"? We tried competition, and it dramatically increased costs without doing anything at all to improve care. We're now spending considerable amounts of money rolling back some of that law.

AFAIK the French minitel system was used by The People over there. It was semi obligatory for e.g subscribing to (some?) higher education, and maybe interacting with some governemental services. The People, once introduced to minitel, had some commercial services available, including primitive porn.

I consider minitel a fork in the road to the www, with different architectural choices leading to a different net culture. Minitel had a clear consumer vs producer split and 1 central governer, compared to the www free-for-all peer to peer vision. It probably would not have grown so fast as the www. But it had payment infra from day 1 and no 100%free connectivity, so it wouldn't become the privacy invasive ad infestation the www has become.
I'm looking forward to find more seeders on Bittorrent.
Nonprofit funding is, in significant measure, a form of public funding as the organization's income is not taxed and its donors receive a tax deduction.
If you subsist entirely on grants and charitable donations and you yourself are a charity then I think it’s reasonable that your software should be open source.

There’s actually a push for all custom developed code for the US government be open sourced, even if produced by a contractor. Seems reasonable to me.
The video covers this.

The nose is copper and aluminum that do melt under these temperatures, but this is prevented by two elements.

Only the first five seconds of the launch will deliver the majority of heat, and this heat can be dissipated by thermal conductivity.

I think they have this covered.
Longtime user of a 2-3 display setup here, and I would strongly disagree. If anything Windows’ support of multiple displays is bad… last I knew it couldn’t even set per-display or per-virtual-desktop wallpapers, and its virtual desktop support (which is essential for a multi monitor setup in my eyes) is nowhere near as mature as that of macOS or practically any Linux DE.

The key is that with macOS, you don’t really manage windows. Just let windows be where they will, like papers on a desk, and then manage desktops. While I’m working I’m constantly flipping between desktops on both my primary and secondary displays, with the primary display being set up with desktops of primary windows and the secondary display being set up with desktops of secondary and tertiary windows. The ability to mix and match sets between displays is powerful and way more natural to me than cobbling together some kind of overcomplicated window snapping setup or something like that.
