> In truth, effective ABM systems encourage a bolt-from-the-blue strike from the country without ABMs, because they fear the same from their adversary who might be able to ride out a second wave, so theory says hit first.

If leaders care more about surviving than about killing their enemies, then effective ABM (and defense against other nuclear threats) changes plans more for the country with ABM. If you try a first strike without ABM, you're dead whether your enemy has ABM or not (and if anything, you're slightly more dead if they have ABM). But if you try a first strike with a good enough defense, you might not be dead. And first vs second strike makes a huge difference, because destroying most of the enemy's nukes in a first strike is critical to making your defense possible.

It might seem insane to launch a first strike if the defenses aren't perfectly reliable. (Or like, even if they are, since a first strike is certainly murdering hundreds of millions of people.) But during a crisis, if you think nuclear war is coming and might not be avoidable, then the math changes. In that case you're comparing your odds of surviving an enemy second strike to your odds of averting an enemy first strike. Then the ABM makes a big difference to your willingness to push the button.

For the other nation, it might affect their perception of alarms (eg might make them think a false alarm is a true one, if ABM makes an attack seem more likely), and once that alarm goes off it might incentivize a larger or earlier strike to make sure that their vengeance is effective. But in my non-expert opinion it changes plans for the nation with ABM much more.
My friend has some issues with using the `scp` command on Ventura to copy files to a Synology NAS.

It turns out the `scp` has been updated to use sftp protocol since OpenSSH 8.9 and Synology seems to use a different port for sftp, causing some hard to understand errors.

Passkeys is a bit of an odd one.

They’ve been listing it as a Ventura upgrade, and all the marketing (more or less) points to this as a Ventura-and-later feature, but it’s on Big Sur and Monterey too.
With Ventura there's Rosetta support in Linux VMs. This is something I'm a bit excited about.

Still no prefetch to help websites load faster :(

It’s a little more nuanced than that.

1. prefetch has no role regarding initial page load, which is the thing most people care about most; not supporting it has no effect on that.

2. prefetch is a browser hint; during browser idle time, using some heuristic, it downloads resources in the background it thinks you might need or pages you might navigate to next. If it guesses correctly, the next navigation is fast, because the page and its resources, (assuming they have rel=prefetch assigned to them) is already in the cache. If the browser is wrong, there’s no benefit.

3. Users who don’t have unlimited cellular data and pay by the megabyte probably don’t want the browser downloading stuff in the background they didn’t ask for and may not need.

4. There are privacy implications. From Mozilla’s Link prefetching FAQ [1]:

Privacy implications
Along with the referral and URL-following implications already mentioned above, prefetching will generally cause the cookies of the prefetched site to be accessed. (For example, if you google amazon, the Google results page will prefetch www.amazon.com, causing amazon cookies to be sent back and forth. You can block 3rd party cookies in Firefox, see Disabling third party cookies.)

> Pretty sure my ARM Macbook with 24GB RAM is a “premium laptop”

Pretty sure the M1 isn't just a generic ARM processor but rather something Apple specifically designed for their use case.

I challenge you to point to just one more vendor delivering a premium laptop experience based on ARM. Even better, please point to a chipset vendor that will license that technology to a third party to use as a platform for their hardware.
Would be interesting to develop an executive/managerial compensation structure that functions like a 10-year call option. Maybe it could feel a bit like TV show 'residuals' - even if you leave the company you'd still get a check in the mail for the company's longer term success.

So much of the societal harm of corporate america comes from short term optimization at the expense of long term value. Would be great if businesses recognized this and found a good way to attract talent that thinks in decades rather than quarters.

You are assuming the first strike successfully destroyed some fraction of the target's arsenal (without the opponent launching before being hit). I am not sure that nuclear strategists would make that assumption.
"Deal with" in detail, absolutely not, just as you say. Pardon my rephrasing you point (I think):

You can show that some functions that give real numbers are computable. (Let's say, computing that number digit by digit. Binary digit or base-ten, you choose.) You can't show that all Turing machines halt, so you can't use the mere existence of a Turing machine as proof of a computable function. Therefore, we can't know or compute the set of all real numbers because we can't compute the set of irrational numbers; there will always be some Turing machine that, unbenownst to us, calculates a (likely irrational) function that spits out a real number. If we can't describe even a way to sort functions into two piles: "computes a real number (digit by digit)" and "doesn't compute a real"; then we can't be said to "deal with" the set of real numbers at all well.

This rather presupposes the (now pretty much accepted) concept that numbers "exist" if they can be computed (whether they have been computed, or conceived of, or not.) "Intuitionism" in other words, IIRC.
Are HTTP headers important or even relevant at all for branding trademark purposes?

> The declarative concept is highly tied to the trend of moving away from data pipelines and embracing data products –

Of course an Airbyte article would say this, because they are selling these tools, but my experience has been the opposite. People buy these tools because they claim to make it easier for non-software people to build pipelines. But the problem is that these tools seem to end up being far more complicated and less reliable than pipelines built in code.

There's a reason that this domain is saturated with so. many. tools. None of them do a great job. And when a company invariably hits the limits of one, they start shopping for a replacement, which will have it's own set of limitations. Lather-rinse-repeat.

I built a solid career over the past 8 or so years of replacing these "no code" pipeline tools with code once companies hit the ceilings of these tools. You can get surprisingly far in the data world with Airflow + a large scale database, but all of the major cloud providers have great tool offerings in this space. Plus, for platforms that these tools don't interface with, you're going to have to write code anyway.
I'm still a bit confused - sorry if I don't sound earnest.

This drug eliminates the amount of time you think about a past event. This is pitched as good. Is the model that thinking about something is bad but talking about something is good? What if talking about something changes how or when you think about something? As you said with your co-worker example (which I realize is not PTSD levels) I think it could be pretty easily argued that fixating about your current situation is actually contributing to negative mental processes.

I have done therapy for specific issues and it worked for me - but nonetheless still dont see some contradictions between therapy and a pill that makes you think about something less.
Honestly what would be better for the environment? A lot of batteries that rarely if ever get used but still need to be replaced? Or storing a bunch of fuel in a tank?

The backup generator should rarely be used. The resources that went into the construction of the generator and tank is probably much less than would go into all those batteries.

Really looking forward to playing around with this passkeys thing. If I understand it correctly, I can't implement it as the only authentication method for my website unless I'm okay with locking my users down to one single device?

Edit: to clarify, if my user set up passkey on their iPhone and that's the only method of authentication for my website, they just wouldn't be able to sign in if they lost that iPhone? The key can't be recovered, transferred or backed up? I'm okay with that (I own several yubikeys myself), just want to make sure I understand it correctly.

> I would have never used Excel and macros as the tool to automate the things that I did, but these systems were completely locked down without the ability to install anything or use many online services.

I got good at VBA through this same situation. I had to do some very complex, auditable number crunching on systems that were completely locked down by the parent company of a subsidiary. Excel VBA worked kind of perfectly, because it generated exactly the kind of output that execs could understand, spreadsheets. I developed a style of working where my output looked like it was the tool i.e. I would put formulas in cells rather than hardcoding results in the output, so people could trace the calculations and play with them in the way they were used to.

It certainly wasn't because I loved VBA, I didn't even use Windows at home. I did end up affectionate for Excel, though. All of my personal programming was in functional Erlang at that time, and the idea of having the output of a ton of data processing be a set of spreadsheets that could be further worked with felt a lot like returning a function.

Two different companies I was contracting for asked me to do an Excel tricks presentation for their staff. It made me realize how many office drones are anxiously pretending to know how to use Excel, and that more offices should be giving basic Excel classes to general staff.

I think the Newton was the first major use of the architecture outside the Acorn Archimedes.

"...an advanced, low-power processor was needed for sophisticated graphics manipulation. He found Hermann Hauser, who had developed the Acorn RISC Machine that utilized what became known as the ARM architecture, and put together Advanced RISC Machines, now Arm Ltd."

Historically, the uninspiring and underwhelming major releases of OS X and macOS have ended up being the ones that users ended up having the most positive feelings about over the long term. They have tended to focus on faster performance, refining past features, and security improvements without the simultaneous introduction of fresh annoyances.

However, since you aren't really missing anything in terms of new features, it also doesn't hurt to wait for a couple point releases to let other people find remaining bugs first.

> sanity-check intermediary calculations

I am very far from being an Excel guru, very far, but one thing I have found useful is having everything come out to an intermediate result, and calculate against those intermediate results. If you see weird numbers in the middle, then end result is likely wrong, figure out why your intermediate results are messed up. If you want to be fancy, you can even error bound your intermediates if you know your valid ranges.

> No you don't do that, it's too power consuming.

Uh... yes you do? How else do you think it works? I'm not saying there's no opportunity for optimization (e.g. you only do this for main memory fetches and not uOp execution, pipeline it such that the full decode only happens a stage after length decisions, etc...), I'm saying that it isn't remotely an intractable power problem. Just draw it out: check the gates required for a 64->128 Dadda multiplier or 256 bit SIMD operation and compare with what you'd need here. It's noise.

And your citation of "8 instructions in parallel" seems suspicious. Did I just get trolled into a Apple vs. x86 flame war?
There's actually a small vendor that produced tiny systems that do literally stack like Lego, intended for cluster deployment in edge computing use cases like retail or restaurants. Stacking the units provides all necessary interconnects.

I can't remember their name for the life of me, but they demo'd it at VMWorld a few years back.

The economics versus boring pizzabox or compact blade systems probably never worked out in their favor, hence why I'm having so much trouble tracking them down again.

I've been testing Stage Manager since the first developer beta of Ventura and it did feel awkward, as it had no keyboard control, and I feel slower when pointing and clicking to switch apps.
