Steve Jobs resigned from Apple in 1985 and returned in 1997. Steve Wozniak also left about around the same time, sold most of his Apple stock, and founded CL 9 in 1985. I'm not sure when Apple contracted Unisoft initially, but A/UX wasn't announced until early 1988, and there was at least a year of development underway already.

Apparently Jobs sold most of his interest in Apple immediately in 1985 in order to finance founding NeXT the same year. Jobs took a number of Apple employees with him to NeXT, but I'm not sure how long he was speculating who he wanted with him. Yada yada yada, Apple and NeXT were in negotiations by 1996. I have heard that A/UX was the first thing Jobs killed when he returned in 1997, but the final release of A/UX was version 3.1.1 in 1995, and Apple abandoned it a year later.

So if it was Steve Jobs they were hiding from, it would have either been very early in the development of A/UX (if that occurred by January 1985) or Jobs somehow started killing A/UX during early NeXT negotiations with Apple in 1996. Or Jobs had some reason to be at Apple during that period due to Pixar(?)

And if it wasn't Steve Jobs, then there was another Steve at Apple that was menacing employees between 1985 and 1996. Steve is a relatively common name, and it would be pretty interesting to learn who that was.

I am a fan of A/UX, though I didn't appreciate being forced to buy a license for it in 1989 by my university's CS department. Though the price dropped by about half by then, along with the MacII hardware, it was a very expensive purchase for a 17yo, about as much as a midrange car at the time.
I basically agree, except for this bit:

"and the life that a being that is not yet sentient would get if it were to live"

I don't know that I think it's not sentient, nor that it is not yet alive. I recognise that might not accord with scientific opinion, but there it is.

You're forgetting that there's a market at the other end too. Every business has a cost of capital, and if its returns are not in line with other similarly placed businesses, they will have to spend a lot more money to acquire capital.
It's fine, most people need to learn it the hard way.

Supply and demand works great in Econ 101 though.
> we won't be here anymore

Fortunately, humans are a lot more resilient and better at adapting than you think.
Economy is still a social science at large. Upping the prices to their theoretical limits might cause immense backlash whereas steady increases, either fixed yearly increases or a big increase due to "extraordinary forces", may have very different social effects.

Blindly mentioning 'supply and demand' is the same as saying 'calories in and out'. It's true, but it misses nuance.
In that case yes and that is my whole point. It si not the same Poland or Spain. (geographically I mean now)
Yes, in the strategic oil reserve there was, but not in many other oil storage facilities, and government buying processes for everything are slow and complicated. However, the negative prices aren't for oil as delivered where you want it. It is for oil coming out of a tap at a storage facility somewhere in Illinois (or rather, entering a tank that you rent in that storage facility). All of those tanks were full when oil prices went negative, and there wasn't enough demand to transport oil out of that facility. Most storage facilities were full, and new ones couldn't be built in time.
Typically that would be detected by monitoring.

You can’t just wave your hands and say it “makes things worse”. The far more common scenario is that 70% of help desk calls are for password resets, which make it pretty easy to social engineer or otherwise compromise a user account through that process. If the hacker can compromise the whole system by grabbing an admin’s credential… you lost the game before you even started as that’s a risk you need to control for in other ways. (Ie MFA, PAM, etc)

If you don’t or can’t trust your identity team to notice a compromise that causes your IDP to sync passwords to a hostile system, why do you trust them to manage user identities in a fragile system like AD that’s pretty trivial to compromise?
If you think advice to fake a personal crisis and play victim, from someone who refers to women as people who have "oily holes between their legs" is "interesting and worth implementing" I see I have been wasting my breath. This, along with your comments about wanting to "teach the company a lesson" speak volumes about your character and throw into question your entire portrayal of the situation.
Not exactly — wealthy people don’t spend most of their money on goods & services, they leave it parked in investments. Reducing a wealthy person’s net worth don’t really affect how much they spend on consumer goods.

A poor or working-class person spends (nearly) all of their money on consumer goods. Give them 10% more money and they try to buy 10% more things.

Restricting money on the wealthy doesn’t reduce demand for GPUs for example, but restricting money on low-middle income people does. That lower demand for consumer goods is how you can slow inflation.
That’s obviously not what I am talking about, I said multiple times places that are 100% user generated content.
For travel, I have some small largely pre-packed kits that I throw in my carryon. I revisit the contents from time to time and I may adjust my electronics charger/cable kit if e.g. I have international travel. But for the most part, I find having a kit with spare glasses, first aid kit, a few sometimes needed/wanted over the counter meds and lotions, etc. is worth a pound or two to just have self-contained that I can just grab.

And certainly for group hikes for example, I carry a much larger first aid kit than I have any expectation of needing but I hopefully have the appropriate items if I need them.

There is no backend: the database itself is SQLite in WASM living in the user's own browser.

This is more of a tech demo and test environment than something that would work as an alternative to server-side WordPress - since if you are using a CMS you generally want the results to be visible to people other than you!

It's very, very cool though.
That sounds like a great way to get tons of opposition from well resourced individuals, which will ultimately sink the policy proposal. A far more prudent proposal would be to let them fly private jets, but tax their carbon emissions accordingly. If you were previously flying private and the government introduces a carbon tax that makes flying 10% more expensive, you'll likely cough up the money. If they want to ban private flying entirely you'll go on a crusade to prevent that bill from getting passed.
It's not even marketing since IBM doesn't use this terminology.

But i is still quite removed from the micro standards: POWER, EBCDIC, COBOL, RPG, 5250 terminals, and the SLIC/TIMI/LPAR abstractions.

The typical "micro" app would use x86, UTF-8, Java/C++/Rust/Go on top of a general public system like Linux.

Well at least both use 8 bits words, it hasn't always been the case.
Here's a theory that it's all because they're using a deeply flawed quality metric (VMAF) to evaluate how much bitrate is needed. https://twitter.com/jonsneyers/status/1573371624132419585

The VMAF-approved banding seems particularly telling!
Yes, we seem to have reached a point that being discriminatory against religion, a persons looks or being lower class are the few traits that are somehow still fashionable despite everything else being a cause for censorship, loss of employment, lawsuit or prosecution.

Note, to front-run the typical knee-jerk reaction: I do not believe the religious are in some way actually oppressed, but that those most on the left who scream of oppression everywhere are extremely comfortable with making snide remarks on religion (and class, provided its white people).

Ironically this runs up against the preferences of the people the left wishes to keep inside their political tent - they are almost universally more religious on average than white people.

Or perhaps failure minimization.
I thought this was a well known issue with the Apple watches? They only start looking for a GPS fix once you start the workout, which is the worst time since, well, you already started the workout and are running, making getting that fix that much harder.

I think the Ultra watches now have an option to wait for a fix before starting (which is what always happens on the Garmin's).

> Sufficient tax increases for the well-off would have the same effect as punishing the working class

Would they?

From an economic perspective (not a social/fairness one), isn't it well studied that consumption (as percentage of income) is inversely proportional to higher/lower total income?

So raising tax on the well-off would be more akin to raising the prime rate (i.e. decreasing the amount of well-off capital that's reinvested elsewhere) with the added effect of increasing consumption by increasing federal government spending.

Note: I'm not opining on the justness of this, simply the mechanism.

You have the application use SLDAP to query the group with entitlements to the system.

There’s no magic here. The google integrations are using SCIM iirc.

I think drawing inspiration on temperance from "puritans" based on their own writings is possible only going to tell you how they wanted to be perceived.

"puritanism" and thats a wide term isn't overly specific. the mayflower lot were "the Leiden congregation" or something similar. You can see the range of opinion here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Dissenters#/media/File...

Also, as the colonies that were founded on religion were based on social regulation, by people reporting, or falling out with others for not following convention.

in short, its more playground than useable self discipline example.

Accurate real time pacing information can be useful during races, when it’s easy to get caught up in the pace of the crowd and lose track of the muscle memory for your race pace.

It’s also nice when you want to do any sort of interval training without actually going to a track.

Having accurate overall distances is less important, but is useful if you’re training for a specific distance and want to run some time trials without using a track or measured course.
>C++ code can be written perfectly and still rot as the ecosystem changes, without changing the source.

But that's true of any system that depends on other systems with lax respect for contracts, or with no contract. You can depend on a third-party function get_time() that returns the seconds since the program started, and later on if its maintainers decide to change it to return a UNIX timestamp because they realized the wording was vague enough to allow it, any code that makes the wrong assumption will break.

C++ is, I would say, quite good as far as backwards compatibility goes. The problem IMO is that it's rather complex and some of its features have been misunderstood over time, such as the meaning of volatile or inline, and thus people have been writing subtly broken code that just happened to work when they originally wrote it.
Yes - we have a dual fuel system. HP is used when the temps allow it. As far as I can tell, it's not eonomic to run it below 5C, and certainly not comfortable.
Bank of Canada's position is very nuanced, but all the nuance is ignored by their critics. They never asked employers not to raise wages this year. They asked them not to bake in e.g. 8% per year wage increase for the next 10 years if they are negotiating a long term contract with a union. The rationale is that while 8% raise this year is reasonable given the inflation rate, the inflation rate will not remain high for the next decade, so it will be too high further in the future. If many bind themselves with high wage increases long term, we will have high inflation for a long time due to the effect of the cost of labour on prices.

> “Don’t build that into longer term contracts. Don’t build that into wage contracts. It is going to take some time, but you can be confident that inflation will come down.”
As the article notes, the ARM v1 CPU had 27,000 transistors.

Designing a RISC processor that small is hard in a different way. It’s probably similar to designing a useful CAD application whose code fits in 30 kilobytes on an operating system which only provides file I/O. (That would be the original AutoCAD.)

The difficulty of both hardware and software has changed towards dependency management rather than squeezing the most out of a handful of transistors or program bytes. There’s no reason for anyone to create ARM v1 or AutoCAD 1.0 today.
Why do you think that? How complicated could it possibly be? Also as a person becomes more of an expert in a specific thing, they make progress much faster (if they remain motivated).

Also it’s just rewriting the logic. One could theoretically write unit tests for every function to make sure the inputs/outputs match.
Transformations are difficult.

Rust provides best effort transformation for its Editions (which only touch syntax) in cargo fix --edition, but even that's only best effort. If a proc macro does something ludicrous (see Mara's whichever-compiles! macro for example) how can the transformation hope to keep up?

C++ versions are in much deeper, they not only change the language syntax, but also semantics of existing features. Sometimes the intended effect is null (but intentions may not match reality) and sometimes it is not.

C++ also substantially changes the standard library. Rust's standard library grows but doesn't get redefined in new Editions, so if you call a deprecated Rust function it's not going anywhere, whereas a deprecated C++ method might actually go away in a future version.

It's a shame that the best effort tools aren't provided with C++ compilers, but even if they were provided on a large codebase it's only the beginning for large projects.
Wages are too high, because our entire economy is built on the backs of available race to the bottom international labor.

Demographics and the security situation is changing this, and the establishment (for better and worse) is absolutely freaking out.

The world as we have lived it the past 30 years cannot exist if people doing labor can command a decent wage by USA standards, we’re going to have to recalibrate for a while
yea, this doesn't just affect the US, the Fed is basically a world-monarch at this point

U.S. Warns Russia of ‘Catastrophic Consequences’ of Using Nuclear Weapons
From the point of view of someone living in central Europe, I disagree. The only story that matters right now is Russia waging a war against the Ukraine and preparing to attack Europe once they get a realistic chance. If the US weakens the NATO after the next election, we're f*cked.

Also, I don't buy the "let poor people suffer now to reduce suffering later" narrative. Restricting the access to fossil fuels increases the prices for pretty much everything that's relevant to cover basic needs, especially in less developed countries.

But I'd be very fine with putting a hefty carbon emission based price tag on anything that exceeds covering basic needs - e.g. flying, cruise ships, driving big cars, using more energy to heat a pool than other families need for their whole household,...
The human mind in its totality, ie including consciousness, is a fundamentally different kind of machine to a computer. It's a machine, there is nothing supernatural here, and I am not invoking a 'god of the gaps' argument. However, like Roger Penrose, I think that our consciousness is not a computation for example. That kind of thing seems pretty key. If that is true, and what we call 'understanding' is a function of consciousness, then that's going to have implications.

It doesn't matter by the way, if Turing machines can't replicate human minds, why would we want that anyway? "Intelligent" systems that provide outputs and solve problems for us is what we want right? I think we'll have something that is, for all intents and purposes, "AGI", using classical computers. A 'philosophical zombie' in other words.
‘I’d rather ride a horse’: automobile’s sizzle fizzled in the US [1905]
Quote from the starting paragraphs of an article on fee is like satire of libertarians “ I’m pretty alert to such problems these days. Soap doesn’t work. Toilets don’t flush. Clothes washers don’t clean. Light bulbs don’t illuminate. Refrigerators break too soon. Paint discolors. Lawnmowers have to be hacked. It’s all caused by idiotic government regulations that are wrecking our lives one consumer product at a time, all in ways we hardly notice”

Omg my toilet doesn’t use several gallons of water any more, it’s the horrible regs!!! I remember toilets from the 80s/90s. The ones I saw clogged easier than modern toilets and even better, they used so much water that when they clogged there was a significant chance they’d over flow. Yay poop water!

There you go, one incident that shows the libertarian principle on regulations is terrible. If I use the logic from your comment that means all regulations are good, even although the example was niche. I’m not going to make that claim about all regs, there’s some bad ones but don’t get info from libertarians on what regs are good or not.

Okay throw the baby out with the bath water if you will. Carb as a whole is terrible because of gas cans, one of a large number of things they’ve done?? And because of that all regs they are now proposing are bad?

And for what it’s worth I used a new 5 gal gas can from CA recently and it was a little fiddly for sure but didn’t seem that bad … and I’ll admit it’s the first one I’ve used so I dunno. Maybe it is that bad and I had a good one but I’ll take a few missteps by Ronald Reagan’s regulatory agency since it means I can breath in LA. Where’s all that smog go?
Blackouts wouldn't happen when wind and solar are plenty, which is when Germany is exporting. They would happen on windless rainy day, during which Germany is importing electricity.
replying to californical:

"Sufficient" is the operative word here. There's a tremendous amount of non-productive rent-seeking, such as literal rents. These are a massive drag on our economy, because they shift investments towards non-productive use. More targeted tax increases to discourage the worst rent-seeking would help a lot, in addition to generating revenue and easing price pressures.
The job loss is real. The increased costs are real.

Retraining is hard and slowing down the economy will damage people, mostly poor and middle class.

There is no way around, hence why climate activists are always saying "it's a price we need to pay". That price to pay is why it's unpopular.

Also, the solution proposed are not the only way forward and the negatives are overblown.

The measures feel like they're done to fulfill the Keynesian politicians' agenda more than actually improve the situation (for that you would need way more global cooperation)
I wonder if at some point Apple reduced the sampling frequency of the gps position to save power? Since this sounds pretty important to the guy, I would buy a Garmin watch or similar to compare to and run with both. I also suspect one of the challenges here is that taking a lot of corners like in an urban environment might result in rounded paths — like if you ran around a rectangular city block it ends up being logged as a square with rounded corners. Whereas if the sampling frequency was higher it would capture those corners much better, or if the authors runs were more of a straight line.
It was a bizarre-ass thing to go with from a serious company. They'll be getting shit for that for decades. Sorry, I guess?

> This is not the nightmare scenario that non-iPhone users made it out to be. Apple haters, like any group of haters are a silly bunch.

What nightmare scenario did I imply? I think you're being a little overenthusiastic here. It was just a funny example to show that Apple isn't above screwing up hardware stuff/radios from time to time.
patents, tongue in cheek...

on a more serious note yagni: for most workloads you simply don't need the dependability and Xeon has caught up sufficiently for most workloads.

however if your business depends on less than 5 minutes of unplanned downtime per year you need stacks designed for faul operational subsystems, i.e. subsystems which don't just detect faults and halt, but which gracefully handle many faults with a short degradation but no failure.

and that's not only hard to master it's also plastered with IBM patents.

wrt the jit/interpreted world my personal take is that silicon vendors are very happy about it. very few organisations feel the pain to an extent they innovate things like golang... and once they are in the business of selling compute power (as cloud service provider), there goes their motivation to create a sexy cobol.
