> I do wonder what tools could support this kind of higher-effort higher-impact forestation

What's neat is that the tools already exist. Much of modern farming is a data problem- knowing soil conditions and nutrient levels across a large area and which plants would work best where. They often make use of satellite data, watershed simulation, weather and climate models.

I wonder if anyone has documented using those tools for this purpose.

> don't buy apple if you want a laptop with a touchscreen

Keep buying Apple laptops, got it. I know that a large number of people keep asking for laptop with touchscreen, but this is one design decision where I whole heartedly with Apple. Touchscreen on laptops make no sense. The use case for a touchscreen is significantly different from a laptop that it makes sense to have two classes of devices.

Then again, I don't really get the large number of iPads sold either. It seems like an extremely niche devices which would only find a use case in certain types of industry.
Your "choice and options" opinion is a vapid opinion that's somehow weaseled its way into most degenerate right-wing/internet libertarian talking points, and "don't hate" is just wokeness adapted for the same purpose.

Free market capitalism does not have to apply to every single policy discussion. If you feel like you're being hated on, that's the price of having an opinion, in this case a bad one that leads to worse infrastructure and more pollution for nearly everyone else.

> It is trivial to construct a complete system that is completely (!) uninteresting.

It's also easy enough to construct complete theories that are rather interesting.

> That is the interesting thing, and proving it does not depend (AFAICT) on the details of any particular encoding of truths about numbers as long as it is well defined.

No, the encoding scheme doesn't matter, that's correct.

What does matter is that the theory doesn't need to be as powerful as a full-blown Turing machine. That's why all the machinery about Gödel's proof is necessary.

You seem to be mistaken about the fact that Gödel numbering is the complicated part about that proof, when that is in fact the easy part (and, if you really want, can be entirely replaced by some other encoding scheme), and the complicated part is about proving that a relatively weak theory like Robinson arithmetic, which doesn't even have induction axioms, can nevertheless completely express all primitive recursive functions, and that predicates such as "x is a proof of y" can be expressed as primitive recursive functions.

You admit to there being coordinated efforts against labor and the working class - so how do you deal with the cognitive dissonance with 1) the history that the pharmaceutical industry continuously being a very bad actor with the reward of billions in profit, 2) that pharma industry in the U.S. (for example) accounts for something like 80% of the advertising revenue on all mainstream-legacy media channels (capturing the narrative of what news is able to air), and 3) practically all U.S. politicians on both the Republic and Democrat side are given $$ - lobbied by the pharmaceutical industry?

The rest of what you shared seems to be relatively shallow narratives you've been trained/programmed to believe for you to then parrot.

My question above isn't about "vaccines" - so hopefully you're willing to answer and won't avoid the cognitive dissonance you're certain to encounter if you attempt to answer it; or perhaps we'll see what mental gymnastics you need to use to dismiss the multiple very clear conflicts of interest and guaranteed-obvious influence that pharma has on our society via politicians that make policy decisions - and via narratives propagated to the masses via mainstream-legacy media channels.
It's not really that complicated.

I have personally written a similar tool and I am very curious about how this could be using a near-zero amount of resources while maintaining accuracy. As far as I know, there are two ways to implement this functionality:
1) store an in memory representation of the file system and periodically refresh the in memory state by polling the paths under watch and emitting events when differences are detected
2) hook into the underlying kernel events like kqueue, inotify, fsevents, ReadDirectoryChangesW, etc and report events

Option 1 uses a lot of CPU and memory (the map storing the paths being monitored could easily grow to be tens or even hundreds of megabytes if many files are being monitored, which is often the case in large source projects). I have seen tools that use polling with a 100ms interval continuously burn 50% of cpu monitoring a modest sized directory with tens of thousands of files.

Option 2 theoretically would use less memory and little to no cpu, but in practice, the story is more complicated. If you are using an inotify or kqueue like api, you will have to store handles for all of the paths that are being monitored, which can take a significant amount of memory. On macos, the file system events are not accurate in the sense that you can't trust the type of event. It doesn't reliably distinguish between creation and modification events. So if you want to know specifically what kind of event happened, you end up back in case 1 where you have to store an in memory representation of the file system and diff against the in memory representation and the current file system state when you detect an event. For some use cases, you may not care to distinguish between creations and modifications and can get away with a lower memory, but less accurate, solution.

In my experience, getting all of this right is much more difficult than it appears at first glance. Good luck to you.
How does the iPad version of Photoshop compare to the full desktop application?
As a geek, I pride myself in using all the browsers. I have the free time to try them out and each one has its own unique selling point and feature set, which I leverage. Firefox and Brave for privacy. Microsoft Edge for normie stuff. Chrome for using Google services. Tor Browser Bundle for dodging the NSA. Opera & Vivaldi, because they're super customizable and quirky. Then various apps on my phone like Vanadium, Brave, DuckDuckGo, vanilla Safari, Firefox Focus, etc
My struggle with this analysis is that it's trying to reason a solution to a completely valid problem, but leaning on an intrinsically flawed metric (the WCAG contrast ratio).

WCAG 3 is moving to APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm) which will be much more fair to cases covered in this post. Yes, there'll still be perceptual contrast issues with dark yellow, but I'd wager that the solutions you'll land on when measuring with APCA will be less drastic or visually unappealing.

The whole Apple Pencil situation is pretty annoying. The 1st Gen charging style is ridiculous and should never have been designed that way. The 2nd Gen, however, has another problem entirely: it drains the iPad's battery even when fully charged. Leaving it snapped to the side of the iPad overnight will destroy the standby time in order to keep the pencil at 100%. This is dumb! After a few days the iPad will be completely dead but the pencil will be 100%. Thanks, Apple!

I wish they'd license the battery-free stylus technology from Wacom. Charging the pencil all the time is so annoying that I hate using it.

I am a lawyer, my boss uses an ipad pro heavily for work. He usually does not have much time to work on stuff, we mail him the contracts, documents etc., he marks them up with digital pen with his comments and sends it to us to revise. He finds it extremely productive. He can give instructions on the go, even while physically walking to a meeting room.

Prior to the ipad pro, we literally took printouts and handed it to the boss for his comments. He doesn't bother with word comments. Many older senior lawyers who learned the practice before word processors still work this way.

For jobs not requiring much typing and special software, iPad pro can be a good addition.

For replacing my work computer, oh no.

If I were provisioned an ipad pro, I'd use it to read and markup contracts, look up legislation, occasionally jump into calls and I'd be pretty happy. I could work on my commute, quickly review documents and respond in off-hours etc. instead of carrying a laptop. The IT provisioned laptop takes ages to boot up, heavier and more fragile than an ipad.

Another problem is that screen and keyboard doesn't quite replace pen and paper in my industry. I switched to Onenote from using a paper notebook during remote working and I miss taking notes on paper greatly. I frequently miss parts in contracts when I read on the screen and have to be extra careful. If I were in the office, I usually printed these out. I knew a senior lawyer who wanted us to print out every piece of related legislation so that she could work on it. She refused to read them on computer.

iPad pro could be highly beneficial for low-tech human mind driven industries such as law.

I know there is AI, I am grateful for redlines and spell checkers, but the computer screen and keyboard interface lacks in some ways.

Reed stated the United States added a Trojan horse to gas pipeline control software that the Soviet Union obtained from a company in Canada.[1] According to Reed, when the components were deployed on a Trans-Siberian gas pipeline, the Trojan horse led to a huge explosion.[1] He wrote: "The pipeline software that was to run the pumps, turbines and valves was programmed to go haywire, to reset pump speeds and valve settings to produce pressures far beyond those acceptable to the pipeline joints and welds. The result was the most monumental non-nuclear explosion and fire ever seen from space."[1]

Well the magnitude of your response should be calibrated to the magnitude of the grievance. A new boss coming in and changing everything in a way nobody signed up for or is on board with is very egregious, and I _will_ quit if they don't back down, so I'm going to tell them that.

A few things I don't see mentioned here, but should be said to see where the conversation goes.

1. Lyft funded the collection of signatures to get this on the ballot, to the tune of $8.5m.

2. About 10 years ago, CA's top tax rate was ~10.5%. A measure was passed "temporarily" during a recession to increase that rate to ~13.5%. Then another proposition was passed to extend this "temporary measure".

3. CA currently has a $100b surplus.

Ok, time for my personal opinion.

The reasons for these increases are obviously not to dig CA out of a tax revenue deficit. They've accomplished that. There are other factors at play.
Well, MacOS won. Silos don't work, and they especially don't work when Apple controls the means of distribution single-handedly. MacOS has clutched onto a shred of relevance by letting the user install package managers, download software from the web, run software compilers, and so much more. There is not a future where iPadOS "wins" and MacOS is slayed in ritual combat, or something. It's obviously not a contest, and even by your own admission the separation of these OSes is mostly arbitrary. Apple knows they're gimping the iPad, they're just expecting other people to not care.

Everyone would be happy if Apple focused more on perfecting the iPad's hardware instead of pushing iPadOS to the brink. An iPad with options to run MacOS, iPadOS or Linux would be the knockout product-of-the-decade for Apple IMO. Judging by the design of Monterey, I think iPad/Mac convergence seems fairly likely.
MakerDAO has no ability to block individual holders' DAI tokens. ENS DAO and ENS root multisig owners have no way to revoke your registered ENS .eth name address or take control of its records. You and I have a different idea of "custodial." Banks, CeFi lenders, payment processors can and do regularly eject and censor customers on a per-transaction basis, even building automated flagging systems to do this.

> But this isn't a reason to hold them.

The person now has DAI, an asset that has value, and that they can send to another person. They received the DAI in 30 seconds, without needing a bank, and can send it to another person in 30 seconds, also without them needing a bank. The closest comparison is cash, but you cannot securely send cash around the world in 30 seconds without a bank.

There are many contracts and protocols that are designed to be immutable-only with forking as the only mode of governance, I would advise doing a little more research into the development practices.

> This is exactly how DNS works as well. There is no practical difference

Except that domain name registrars are centralized entities with complete custody over their owned domains, unlike .eth names which are not owned by any central party, and cannot even be revoked or controlled by the root node multisig owners.

"Another reason to avoid HOAs at all costs, over the lifetime of the property the cost is astronomical."

Hate to break it to you, but the maintenance costs for a house over the lifetime of the property are astronomical. True, if you are a do-it-yourselfer and want to do all the maintenance work yourself you can save money. But the comparable cost to pay someone for things like yard work, internal repairs and upkeep is, in my experience, much higher in a house than a condo because you don't get the benefit of scale and good, defined supplier relationships. E.g. in a condo building you're paying a landscaping company to do the yard work, but that work is split amongst 50 or whatever condo owners.

> Really, I can't think of a ton of uses for desktop/laptop hardware this powerful.

Oh, there are plenty — for one, I would really like to have a good CAD/CAM application. Parametric, history-based, like Fusion 360 or SolidWorks. There is Shapr3D which is absolutely amazing and shows what the hardware is capable of (take a look at the demo videos), but nothing I can use for actual work.

These kinds of apps need both a reasonable GPU for rendering and a really good CPU for computing constraints in sketches, and then for recomputing solids.

Unfortunately, Fusion 360 being an Autodesk product, we aren't even graced with an Apple Silicon version on the Mac yet, even though it's been what, two years since Apple Silicon is out? The application is a slow pig, where usability comes last. So I guess I can keep on dreaming.

Or take electronics CAD — having KiCAD on an iPad would be amazing.
