1, I guess it's a standard x86 version of Windows, not some Windows for ARM port. But imagine how fast native Windows port for M2 would be?!

2. Is this only Windows/graphics specific, or Parallels on M2 can also run Ubuntu x86 OS (not Asahi Linux) and code faster than the latest x86 laptops?

As another comment [0] suggests, this is common at least in Sweden. I have it on first hand that a successful local rapper has the whole apartment full of phones streaming his songs. Floor, shelves, sofa, all full of phones.

I'm sure mixing it with bot traffic is also popular. I also assume that Spotify (et al) are more successful in filtering out bot traffic from central Asia than legit phones in the middle of the target group.

Apple no longer ships scripting languages with macOS Ventura. They had said future versions of macOS wouldn’t have them last year with Catalina. I guess future meant next one.

You have to install them yourself, just like Java was removed a while ago. Honestly it’s great news, since Apple has always shipped very old versions, and you always had to be careful when linking against the system versions. Ruby is particularly batshit insane to manage multiple versions, at least for me.

I absolutely believe that the ascendancy of Homebrew is single-handedly responsible for the removal of those languages. Homebrew is magnificent, and with its recent change of the default install location to the correct Unix location, it’s a nearly perfect package manager for macOS.

I commented on this elsewhere, but Mudge was a program manager at DARPA from 2010-2013 and worked at Google from 2013-2020. This narrative that "Twitter hired a long-haired hippy and he didn't know how to build a security org or work in a corporate environment" ignored the past decade plus of his experience.
Lots of subsidies in Canada for solar installs but no innovation comes to mind.

We’ve had some Canadian content requirements, but it ends up being the mounting equipment and wiring. We haven’t developed capacity to put together our own core inverter components or panels themselves: too cheap to assemble overseas.
I believe you are on target. Small plots of land are on average far more productive per acre than large mono cropping plantations.

Immigrants come in many categories.

I immigrated to the US as a highly educated engineer from a poor Asian country. My country was poor, but not terrible, not a dictatorship, etc. If I had never immigrated, I would still have done fine, although in absolute terms maybe I wouldn't be as rich as I am today.

My journey was completely different from a farm laborer from Latin America. People like me came through university student visas, converted to worker visas, and paid fees to immigrate legally. We feel that we achieved everything through our own hard work, talent, and grit. We are blind to our own luck and privilege.

We will often look down upon illegal laborers and want the process to be "strict" for them, too. We don't even really understand things through their point of view. Our attitude is the same in our old country--- we are already the elite there, and we have little sympathy for poor people's problems. We call them lazy. If only they would pull themselves up by their bootstraps like we did, they could also have the American dream.

That's us, one type of immigrant. We're not really different from native-born, well-off Americans. The only difference is, we also look down upon those American engineers who whine about being displaced by H-1B immigrants. We have no sympathy for them, either. They need to deal with it, just as poor laborers do. It's just logic.
I would say it speaks volumes of the crew at Parallels and how polished the software is.
Thanks for pointing out these issues.

Just for transparency, I'm a US citizen so I originally registered a Delware LLC. But I now live in the UK and our early customers are here so made sense to create a UK entity instead. Foolishly we haven't updated all of our documents on that. Will do that ASAP!

We've highlighted that the returns are "4-5% estimated annual return for 2 years". I stand by this as it's unrelated to how long our company has been registered in the UK. It's based on the schedule of payments agreed to by our partner on the ground who distributes, installs and maintains the solar panels. The unit economics work, I have been to the villages and seen solar panels installed in homes. Our partner has been distributing small solar panels in Africa for almost 10 years for over 100K homes. We help them solve the energy access problem by giving them more flexible access to financing and the loans are directly tied to the solar panels.

Fair point on the bank transfer. We're working on upgrading that.
I used a graph analysis app ~2011 that communicated with the server over zmq and rendered via lwjgl. At the time, and perhaps even now, it wouldn't have been reasonable to expect adequate performance if all the results of interactive manipulation were executed on the client hardware. Which was unfortunate for me since I'd also spent a few weeks writing code to visualize the same data, and it was definitely a 'works on my machine' application.

I've considered revisiting the problem, but probably not following the implementation discussed here.
You make a good point. And we can add a long list of other things to this list, such as his 2007 speech in Berlin, or 2008 law that the Holodomor was not genocide.

That German leaders refused to act on the evidence is definitely to the shame of Germany.
I think this is key. If you don't have a good security culture, where people understand and have ingrained proper security practices, you're toast, no matter who else you hire.
>..the twitter "hack" was someone running phone numbers through the "upload you contacts and find your friends account" feature.

>They are both barely stories, except to remind people that posting stuff publicly is public.

The reoccurring issue is that Twitter and other companies are convincing (and often forcing) you to do something unsafe like linking your phone number, while telling you that your data will be kept private and at the same time opting you in by default, or aggressively marketing, an option that compromises your security.

I'm sure you may be smart enough to know this compromises your anonymity, allows stalkers to find your phone number, etc. but the 99% of users wont.

Linking everything to a phone number is a major dark pattern that benefits the corporations while compromising the user. So rightfully, these malicious and harmful practices should be called out.
I honestly wouldn't mind the telemetry but seen as VSCode on Windows will always inevitably completely freeze the entire OS to the point of requiring a restart if you leave it open for long enough, it doesn't give me much faith anyone is looking at it that closely in terms of using it to fix fundamental issues.
I think the original filename is a critical piece of information and I usually leave names.
For every day when I do literature research (or happen to come across an interesting paper), I create a new folder with the context of my search, e.g. `2022-08-23_einstein_original_papers`. I save the paper (and others on that day) to the folder as is, then add them to Zotero (, or Mendeley, if I were less privacy sensitive).
I liked his journals from Karateka better than those from PoP. He was much less cocky then and his innovations seemed more novel and exciting, plus you know he was squeezing a lot more out of the hardware from that time.

MoD was really an amazing book, though. Highly recommend for anyone who played the game back when it was still new (or anyone interested in a case study in product management).
> public option health insurance

> calling it socialized medicine seems misleading.

Outside of the UK, that is how health care in developed countries is organized. It's either that or some version of Obamacare (regulated, private, with price caps and subsidies) or a combination.

American conservatives call them all, without exception, "socialized medicine".
For papers and books I use “author-year” format.
No. We no longer want to bother with monthly updates and the overhead of maintaining our own tile server over <30€/month. We tried to make our own raster tile server several years before vector tiles were a thing, using tilecache, then tilestache and just gave up because of the storage and hardware requirements. Plus there's a lot of work involved in customizing your maps - we didn't want to show the standard OSM map built for mappers in mind but a transport oriented map for fleet tracking. MapTiler has almost everything we want except good Africa coverage.
I guess happy ending for every one. US got enough H1Bs that's why rejected excess applications. Indian govt get to crow about thriving startup ecosystem. And Indians got some cheap deals on fashion and other household goods. As a result of all this, this guy got to be billionaire or some such.
I have to side with Mudge here. If there were actual factual inaccuracies, Parag would have outlined them. The blanket discrediting of Mudge here only helps discredit himself.
> If the executives did not make a meaningful effort to count them

They've been filing their methodology for bot counting with the SEC since 2013.

If they're not making a "meaningful effort" and it materially affected the stock price in some way, either the SEC or a shareholder would have gone "HOLD ON SHENANIGANS O'CLOCK", surely?

It can't be that the entire world was A-OK with Twitter's bot counting until June 2022 when a man claiming to want to buy Twitter to fix the bot problem got cold feet on a market drop...
I think the idea is that there are two Spotify subscribers in the whole world.

You, who listen to IndieBand™ for a total of an hour a week or so.

The Gym™ who plays Bieber 24/7 every day, all month.

You each pay $10 a month, so $20 total. Spotify allocates based on plays, so Bieber gets 720 "played hours" and IndieBand™ gets 4. So Bieber gets 720/724 of the $20.

The OP is saying in this case, Bieber should get $10 and IndieBand™ $10 (minus fees, etc).
Nice way to lead with a direct attack on a former executive, and one who is very highly regarded in the broader computer/network/hacker sphere.

The whole second paragraph is just useless fluff. The "important work" they are doing, with no references at all to any specifics, it's just a feel-good word jumble.

He also does not make any claims that Mudge's accusations are patently wrong, it's couched in "what we've seen so far" and derided for lacking "important context".

This missive from the CEO reads as rushed, ill-informed, and overly emotional. Which could lead many to assume the accusations by Mudge are more accurate than not, with or without the important "context".
UK, Italy, and Iceland in the last decade, haven't encountered what you describe. Restaurant staff have universally been polite and professional.
Bingo. Impressum is mandatory for commercial sites (including anything ad-supported), but on the other hand WHOIS has been crippled by German privacy laws. The standard API will give you only the name servers, and the denic website will give you the owner-c email address (after solving a captcha) but no mailing address without a court order.
The fact that it's going as far as "guessing" what the UUID library function would output without any context is seriously impressive.
Spotify has supported this for many years - it's called Spotify Premium Family[0]. You get 6 separate accounts for $16/mth. It is worth the price of admission just to keep my listening history / algo feed clean.

I may be _too old_ to know who Mudge is, but I know one of the previous Twitter CISOs, and I believe he quit Twitter, which is a canary sign to me.
I've tried Zotero and Mendeley during my school days. Didn't stick to any of it. But they were good.
I mean it's both. Wouldn't be possible without absolutely insane hardware.

But also wouldn't be possible without good work from Parallels.

You can review your history on YouTube and remove videos (or at least tell it to not use them for recommendations). You may find one obvious culprit a few weeks ago.
The line is incredibly simple actually. Ideas that are diametrically opposed to the freedoms of others should not get to spread off the back of the institutions that are supposed to be protecting those freedoms.

A free society isn't something that can magically sustain itself without active effort and intolerance should not be tolerated. Sure, you can paint this as a "paradox" but aside from fascists cry bullying about being oppressed (while actively salivating about acquiring the ability to oppress everyone) and naïve liberals who can't remotely imagine the idea of bad faith actors in politics, I don't think anybody is getting oppressed here.

As far as I know, there is no violation of the First amendment here so even if you think hate speech should be protected free speech (which I don't agree with), nobody's freedoms have been breached here.
On the other hand, in the Americas it's an invasive species and many crops were doing fine before it's introduction so I'm not sure I'd call it critical for plants health. In the end we can compare yield in fields with roundup applied and those without and compare yields to find out the overall effect on plants.

But the dangers of it affecting other animals' nervous systems the same way it affects roundworms is a serious worry.
I didn't listen :)
It's almost certainly Windows for ARM, which is available from Microsoft as a Windows Insider Preview. Parallels will also be able to run non-asahi ubuntu, and it likely will be pretty fast, but again it will be the ARM version.
> the NHS as it is constructed doesn't allow for this.

This is simply untrue. (What is Livewell South West?) We've had private provision of NHS services for years and the Lansley reforms explicitly embed privatisation (state funded private provision) in the NHS. Commissioners are forbidden by the 2012 law from preferring NHS providers over NHS providers.

https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2012/7/section/75/enact...

We have a lot of private provision of NHS services (all GP practices are private providers!) and it just doesn't work.
Why would you buy a bike from a reseller for $0 + profit when you can get one the with a government subsidy for $0?
Yes, but it was explicitly a different kind of portability: running MSDOS or VMS executables unchanged, for example.

The task/port/thread/pagers are primitives that let Mach run some other OS executables, not made it easy to port Mach to other hardware. There were papers about getting MSDOS and VMS executables to run in Mach tasks. Some startup was making a system to run (pre-OSX) Mac executables.
Actually I think you have to use the Arm version of Windows with Parallels. But it has been a while that I tried it, may remember incorrectly.
FWIW I don't think the article was a strawman. That's always been my experience with smaller companies

I started out writing HTML and CSS back in the late 90s, but the job has changed and grown so much since then.

Two jobs ago, I had to do HTML + CSS plus Filemaker, AppleScript, Maria, Redis, Varnish, CDN, DNS, SMTP, SPF, and so much more.

Two years later, at a new job, I still had to do much of that, then add in Drupal, Babel, Webpack, Docker, Figma, Illustrator, Imagick, Nginx, Parcel, GraphQL, React, Next, OpenLayers, Google Tag Manager, Data Studio, Analytics, and so much more.

Two more years later, add in Typescript, Jest, Selenium, CI/CD, Miro, Bun, web workers, MapGL, WebAssembly, Ramda, REDUX, Rxjs, Redux Observables, React Router, Appcues...

That's just one person, in half a decade. The ecosystem as a whole is even more complex.

I think integrating useful things into the base Ecmascript would be a great start, but not the whole story. There is still a ton of dev ops, network admin, sys admin, email admin, graphic design, marketing, advertising, etc. crossover.

Maybe huge tech companies have specialized roles, but smaller ones have tiny web teams that are expected to get the job done no matter how the technologies change. The devs can't even keep up with the tech, much less the managers or HR or execs.

It's part of the fun, for now, but yeesh... I'm going to age out at some point, brain can't keep up much longer lol
Wind and solar are quite unreliable.

That's the dirty secret. Wind/Solar might be price competitive at some $/MWh but you need build MUCH more capacity to make up for how unreliable they are.

Each utility needs to purchase generation capacity in advance and it has to be enough to cover estimated peak usage. This is a regulatory requirement. I find it interesting that if the utility chooses to reserve wind generation, they can only apply 7% of the nameplate capacity (!)

According to that math, if we're going to replace current coal/nuke/nat gas base load with wind and expect some amount of reliability, we will need to build 14x as much capacity. That is just madness.

Interestingly, regulated utilities actually LOVE this because they make money for their shareholders by having some capital expenditure base amount. The Public Utilities Commission then allows them to earn some return on that base. I believe the allowed return is usually something like 8-10%. The more they spend on capacity and the less reliable the source is, the more money they make.

Pretty perverse incentives, but you're a luddite science denier if you at all question this scheme.

SO, if you have to waaaaay over build capacity because your sources are unreliable, the utility has to invest more to build that out. Their return on investment in generation then comes from YOU via much higher rates.
I throw all documents into Calibre [1]. It can extract metadata from files and extend them from online sources. It has a lot of related plugins too.

You're right: it's all about money. If it made the site unusable for "normal people", then it would not further their goal of making money.

They're making a financial judgment call. Hostile people scare "normal people" off the platform. Somebody decides whether they'll make more money by scaring off fans of the hostile posters, and how much of that hostility the "normal people" will take before they decide the site causes more aggravation than pleasure.

Captialism famously doesn't depend on generosity, but on self-interest. They can generally be trusted to make decisions based on it. I don't know whether they're right in this instance or not, but the decision makes sense viewed in that light. The whole point of capitalism is that it doesn't need to be noble to nudge people in directions that have wide benefits.

Perhaps, rather than have it orbit the earth for thousands of years, you could send it on a single, long trip. By having the projectile far away from earth, other satellites, and other gravity sources, you could improve precision and aim for exactly the center of the largest landmass. Or you could intentionally land in the ocean and make it float.
