In competitive industries, customer-hostile choices are much less common.

How many brands of TV are there? How many of those brands still make even one consumer model that isn't "smart" in user-hostile ways?

Having lots of suppliers doesn't necessarily create effective competition in the customer interest. If there's a customer-hostile practice that makes lots of money and is sufficiently obvious that all suppliers can adopt it without any need for legally questionable forms of cooperation then what is going to happen?

Effectively forcing subscriptions or other after-purchase limitations and costs on customers when there is nothing in it for those customer to balance what they lose is exactly the kind of predatory behaviour that government regulation should protect against.
From the current crop of laptop manufacturers, I'm most optimistic about Starlabs. They have in-house staff for coreboot development and linux related things, and they have more independence in hardwware design as opposed to being a Clevo reseller.

You’ll find the store brand sometimes having a cheaper “olive oil” here in Australia, which is still 100% olive I believe but probably includes second press. But any brand name oil will basically always be virgin/“extra-virgin”.

Reminds me of the regular WSJ articles that alternatively extoll the virtues of Apple products, or how something is going terribly wrong with them. It's like clockwork. People have been submitting articles to HN for as long as it has existed proclaiming that now, now is the time they're giving up on Apple. This time for real, pinky promise!
I believe the way it goes is that USR1 kills BSD dd.

The Linux kernel doesn't have SIGINFO. GNU dd uses SIGINFO on platforms that have it, or SIGUSR1 otherwise. The default action for SIGUSR1 is to kill the process. So it makes sense that on platforms that do have SIGINFO no one would bother to override that default SIGUSR1 behavior.
I wouldn't expect an answer. If I were in the author's shoes, I certainly wouldn't answer. What difference does it make? At best, it was simply a poor fit, perhaps mutually. Sometimes it's layoffs. Worst case? Use your imagination.

But it doesn't matter. If they didn't list the terminations, would you still be curious? If they lied and said they were laid off, when in reality they slept on the job and stole pens, would it matter?

Ultimately employers still rely on trust via interviews, and possibly reference checks, but most importantly by often having some sort of trial period (a year, six months) or simply being at-will. Isn't working? So long, no hard feelings.

Obviously it helps to weed out bad apples but don't read into it too much. If the person is fired because they performed poorly in a hostile environment, they could still thrive in the right environment. We've all had shitty jobs.
In EU we have fire code for house furniture. Often the furniture doesn't burn, but only the light synthetic materials. I don't know how it is in US, but I think the 17 minutes vs 3 minutes you say comes from this video:

Once you're there, you may as well run Linux on your old Apple laptop.

Sometimes I seriously suspect the only things keeping me from doing that are SublimeText and Pixelmator. I have not yet gotten annoyed enough with macOS to relearn all my finger macros that've been driving Sublime for a decade and getting up to speed with a different text editor, or to have leaned how to drive Gimp well enough to be reasonably able toi use it to replace Pixelmator in a productive fashion. Oh, and _maybe_ OmniGraffle, but I'm not sure I've even opened that yet this year.

Yes, it's my parent's fault for being poor. (Actually, not poor, just not upper middle class in the wrong metro, although most of my colleagues from university onwards called it "working class" so maybe so.) Unfortunate, but reality :-|

For an SD card, “store something you care about” will very often mean photos or video. You have no choice but to trust the SD card for the time it takes you to get to your computer where you can dump the contents into something more reliable.

High end cameras usually have dual card slots to help deal with this, but even that won’t help when the failure mode is trying to write past the cards’ actual physical capacity, because the counterfeit advertise more storage than what’s actually there.
Same here. All three jabs..no response. Finally caught Covid last month and had 3 days of a bad cold but still have a lingering 2 pack a day smoker's cough 4 weeks later. The wildfire smoke didn't help but I don't think it's the only cause of my cough.

Huh, I strongly prefer the Apple option in all those cases. Usually when I'm on other platforms I wish I had Apple's programs there (OMG, the "office"-type apps like Pages and Numbers when I'm on Linux especially—plus Preview, of course, which is excellent). Apple's first-party programs are a huge part of why I'd have trouble leaving the platform—not so much because of lock-in, but because I find them excellent compared to most of the competition, free or commercial, and would hate to have to switch to the programs I have to use when I'm on those platforms.

I did use iTerm2 for a long time until it dawned on me I was using zero features that Terminal didn't support, so I stopped. Terminal's lighter and has lower input latency and it's one less thing to install.

I might start using Firefox again if they fixed a couple integration/UI issues and got their power use to roughly what Safari's is. Until then, it's Safari all the way.

225 terabytes in 1 second of fiber. 225TB of DRAM doesn't actually cost all that much, O(million), or maybe O(10 million) if you're also talking the servers required to drive that much.

Ping between USA and EU might be what, 100ms round trip? So how much would you think 20x spools of transatlantic fiber plus all the repeaters and power to run it will cost you? And for that you get a memory with O(1s) latency as opposed to DRAM which is 10 million times better latency.

Or you could go with NAND for about twenty thousand dollars for that much storage with only 1 million times better latency. Or HDD at a few thousand and still get 100x better latency.

Maybe my math is wrong, but I'm not quite seeing the niche for this new form of slow billion dollar cache.

What's the hardware being used for your test? I get 55k RPS with a basic 200 responder with zio-http[0] (which uses Netty) on my i5-6600K, and over 20k RPS for an e2e POST endpoint that does write batching to postgres (committing the insert before responding to all of the clients in the batch with with their individual db generated ids). Postgres, client (vegeta[1]), and the app all on the same machine. I think that was with keep-alive, I think like 256 clients for the basic responder and 1024 for the one that writes to the db. There's a recently merged PR for zio-http that does 1M RPS on whatever machine they test on[2] so Netty can absolutely scale to high RPS.

Released in 2009, Snow Leopard was the last version of macOS before mobile took over everything. I agree that Snow Leopard is perhaps the best macOS release. Windows 7 came out around the same time and it was also excellent—almost as if the new smartphone industry just disrupted everything to hell. This was also a couple years before Gnome 3 came out.
The way I think of it: I have experienced non-existence for billions of years, I will experience it again after my death.

Many people, religious or atheist, believe that the scope of life is finite in one direction: it starts at birth. Death is essentially the same thing, backwards.

Now, there are some people who believe their existence is eternal in both directions. For example, Buddhists believe in reincarnation, and I think the question of the first incarnation and even the very notion of a "beginning" is left open.

Hahaha. Don't hold your breath. It's not going to happen for a couple of reasons. The large variety of Android devices would make reliability and support quite challening, mostly at Apple's expense. Which brings us to the second point: Tim Cook says "buy your mom an iPhone".

Are otherwise healthy people really getting boosters? I had covid in early 2021 before the vaccines. I got a first dose in March 2021, and a second dose in November, only because I needed it for a wedding. I haven’t gotten sick since.

I’m not an anti-vaxxer by any means, but I also am not a fan of unnecessary medical intervention. To me, healthy people under 40 getting boosters seems like people freaking out over drinking half a glass of wine during pregnancy. It’s more about extreme risk aversion than major reductions in mortality.
So, the idea that sails work by the wind blowing on them from behind is a common misconception. They actually work like an airplane wing in some ways.

I'm going to skip trying to remember all the technical details from the last time I sailed anything and just say that the head is at the head of the boat, but it has nothing to do with "blowing the smells away". Boats do not always sail the direction the wind is blowing. We'd have never got anywhere before marine engines if that were the case.
> Gnome file manager at least provide ctrl + L.

The Finder has an equivalent with Command-Shift-G, and if that key shortcut is too cumbersome it (along with all other Mac menu items) can be re-bound in System Preferences under the Keyboard prefpane.

Most of the things mentioned in this comment chain are easily discoverable in the Finder's menus… it really pays to peruse menus in Mac apps when searching for a function.
I'm not sure of your frame of reference, but I heartily disagree. It doesn't matter at all. The only thing that might have any influence is salary and title.

I work with a boatload of extremely talented, top recruiters and, unless searching your name returns crimes, getting fired doesn't matter.

If you're the type of employer to hyperfocus on dumb details like this, then we're all better off not working for you.
> No, because that usually completely ignores point 2. For example the commonly used Lazard data on LCOE ignores storage and has zero cost component to allow for time shifting over short or long periods. You need more than LCOE to make a fair comparison of costs of different energy sources.

Yes, you need to compare total system cost.

Which, as I said before you attempted to derail the point again, currently favours nuclear for a 30 year timescale -- but only barely.

You're also presently mixing up units of LCOS with units of capacity ($130 per MWh would be 0.05% of current costs).

> The storage costs totally dominate the costs so tomorrow’s cost of wind or solar generation is completely irrelevant for a fair comparison

Luckily I was comparing tomorrow'scost of storage. Storage is about to do what PV did in the 2010s. There are at least three separate battery technologies presently scaling production that need no scarce materials and have an extremely compelling case for a 5-fold reduction in price.

But even ignoring storage entirely, each dollar on renewables can remove more emissions than a dollar of nuclear. It's only when you have funded maximum penetration with ~4h storage that you should consider adding more.

Then there's the fuel issue. In all of the mines and all of the spent fuel and all of the enrichment tailings, there is not enough U235 and Pu for a single load of fuel to provide more than about 60% of primary energy. Adding more than ahout 200GW of nuclear is scifi.
The main job of the Finder is finding files. Unfortunately the interface for doing that is the worst I've seen in any OS. Let's compare it with Windows 3.1's File Manager (which was the first GUI file manager I used).

1. Defaults to the columnar format. It's crazy - to move from a parent to child you've to move the mouse the whole width of the column. Whereas in Windows 3.1 File Manager, you'd have to move less than 10 pixels.

2. Now you could switch to the List View. But in Windows 3.1 File Manager, I can see a tree of directories on the left, and the directory contents on the right. That IMO is way cleaner than a single pane. Navigating to a child directory in the right pane also synchronizes the tree on the left pane. I can't be sure about the last one though because Win 3.1 was nearly 3 decades back, but I that's how it works today.
The option key won’t snap to the unscaled icon sizes. The unscaled icon sizes are just too far apart—there’s 48 px, but the other sizes are powers of 2.
Not an answer to the original question, but Prolog later became a popular programming language for AI (mostly outside the US). It instantiated a particular search mechanism in a reasonably efficient way.
I think it's USR1 to bsd dd? SIGINFO doesn't exist on Linux from what I remember, but I think the default behavior for processes is to terminate when they receive a signal they don't catch, and I can't imagine many programs have explicit handlers for USR1, especially if SIGINFO is an option
by checksummed filesystem, do you mean a filesystem that maintains integrity? don't all modern file systems do that? I have little to no idea about how mac and windows compare with snapshots. I have never needed that in my OS. Do you use that for test environment replication or something?
>> If you ask 99%+ of phone users. They don’t care about a “closed” phone platform anymore than console owners care.

Markets shift with time and circumstances. Those on top will not be there forever.

Most users are ignorant of the standards that they rely on. iOS and Android are built on POSIX standards and rely on numerous networking and telecommunication standards. The Internet and World Wide Web that people use their smartphones to access are built on standards. The "magical" experiences that Apple sells to users would not be possible without a veritable book of engineering standards:

>> How many decades have Linux advocates been promising the “year of the Linux desktop”?

I am not sure why you keep pulling Linux into the discussion. Just because Android uses Linux does not mean that other smartphone platforms would use it.
Off the top of my head:

* Moving files is unintuitive. It should be [cmd+x] then [cmd+v]. Instead it's [cmd+c] then [option+cmd+v], and this behavior is not afforded in the UI, you just have to look it up somewhere.

* Search within finder does not search the current context by default, it searches your entire computer. "But you can change this setting!" You shouldn't have to change this setting, and most people don't know it's even there.

* Renaming multiple files is a chore. You expect to rename a file, then press tab to highlight the next file, and begin typing. Instead, you... do some combination of enter, tab, then enter again, except it never quite works the way you expect, and sometimes the file moves because the sorting changes after you pressed enter the first time, and for some reason pressing tab actually moves you to the next folder.

* Speaking of pressing [enter] on files, that should open them, not rename them.

* For that matter, pressing [delete] should delete files. You just have to know that the key for that is [cmd+delete], and that deleting things is called moving them to the trash.

* In general, the number of contextual commands you just have to discover by trial and error, or by looking them up on the internet, because they are hidden in the UI. Even the right-click menu doesn't list things like "open in slideshow", because the right click menu has a secret menu of its own which you have to press [cmd] to see.

* There is no preview panel visible by default, that's another option you have to turn on, like showing the file path. This stuff should all be on by default.

* You have to view file info in a separate window.

* It's not clear to me why I can't close Finder by pressing [cmd+q]. Quitting finder is usually all I want to do when it's open.
Their is a big difference between selling fsd software as an upgrade (which in my opinion could be sold as a one time up front expense like it is or as a service) and a heated seat function (which should not be sold as a service). One must consider the resources required to continually service the feature or upgrade.
The flags wouldn't be blowing straight to the bow of the boat tbough. On a tacking course, they'd be blowing towards the stern +/- 20 degrees.
I think that it is a partly historical note. Back in the 1960s and 1970s AI was more symbolic and logic processing. Prolog evolved to handle rules, etc. These days AI is more about extracting correlations from masses of examples (an obvious oversimplification). I doubt there is much Lisp in use by modern AI/ML systems.

Super Cruise on the Bolt EUV is not comparable to Tesla Enhanced AP or FSD. It can't even change lanes for you, you have to manually do it[1]. It also is restricted to a specific set of highways. It's comparable to Tesla's basic Autopilot, which is included for free with all Tesla models and has no subscription required. Super Cruise at least for Chevy EV's is traffic aware cruise control + lane-keeping + driver monitoring, that's it. Tesla's are still more expensive than the Bolt though, there's no question about that. But Chevrolet also had to recall every single Bolt ever made due to battery issues [2], including 2022 models. So I can't imagine anyone is in line to actually buy a Bolt now. Many parking garages even have signs that say you can't park there with a Chevy Bolt.
