I daily an Android phone and use Macs exclusively for personal and productivity use, with some Linux machines for personal play as well.

If you start to really 'obsess about the details' -- and this'll mean different things to different people -- you'll start to run into the walls that Apple puts up. It's a very one-sided "my way or the highway" dynamic. It's easier to work around on their laptops, but impossible (or at least unreasonably impractical) on their phones. For context I gave iOS a shake twice, once with the XR and once with the 13 mini.

I've always felt that iOS is the platform you go with for:

- unparalleled high-quality integration with the Apple ecosystem

- a very strongly (and unavoidably) opinionated experience (where the opinions are usually more-or-less correct)
Both suck and have way worse video/audio quality than Facetime. That and I don't want to use Facebook.
What’s more is that the identities of those people need to be protected lest they be bombarded constantly for lab studies or requests for life saving donations.

Many counties have laws about paying for blood donations and don’t allow donors to be compensated in any way, so they either need to take on the financial burden of flying to wherever their blood is needed or refusing to take on the financial burden and knowingly allowing someone to die.

It’s not fair to them and while most of these laws prevent darker forms of abuse of vulnerable demographics, they don’t really account for cases like donation of rare blood types.
Video-calling my friends and acquaintances would be seen as totally creepy, it's text all the way. Phone calls in case of a real emergency (and for some work tasks, unfortunately), but otherwise it's text-only.

In case you have lots of information to share you can also leave a recorded voice-message via WhatsApp, but that's all done in a asynchronous way, i.e. the person receiving the recorder voice-message can listen to it whenever he/she feels like it.
The bad parts were nothing was public. The police,the roads,schools or even laws.
Are you honestly suggesting BSD is easier to use than Linux?
Of course, the manufacturer knows all the drivers are responsible and follow the law exactly and thus brake to not exceed the speed limit. ;-P

Discrete mean estimates and the Landau-Siegel zero
Not easily. I wasn't the lead (this one was tackled by the official Lab Manager with the Lab Manager Title, which does matter to some people) so I don't recollect everything that went on. The alarm was intermittent and directly related to use of that door, so it wasn't like it was squawking at 2 am and annoying Security or anything. We did have to do Special Things to that door because we actually needed to prop it open for some Research Stuff, so that added headaches of its own. (I seem to recall the solution to that was a magnet in the right place. Which we had to remove should any official maintenance staff come calling because they hated such quick fixes.)

But, honestly, what sticks out in my mind with the Door Saga, what I remember years later, is what the union maintenance guy did. He showed up at 11:55, set up his ladder, then "noticed" it was noon, and left to go on break because that was The Rule. I don't remember what he did with the ladder, but it sure did piss the next guy off... so he left too, because he needed the first guy to do his job. Fun all around!

I have union blood in my veins. I don't cross picket lines. UFCW scholarships helped put me through college. So I don't say this lightly: Fuck. That. Union. Utterly destructive leeches. Unions have so much more to offer our workers and our society, and instead they do... this bullshit. Thanks for giving everyone a reason to hate you, you greedy assholes.
Anecdotally, this is true in Sweden as well. Especially in the 25+ demographic.
I thought Ancient Greek was the 2nd most common language for people to learn after Latin if they want to understand the era.

Parody is a genre of comedy.

Most SNL skits are comedians pretending to be real people. There’s no need for SNL to declare that “the following skit is a parody”, it’s obvious.

On Twitter, it’s certainly less obvious, but the absurdity of the parody should give it away without having to state “parody ->”, which punctures the whole setup.

Plus, there’s all kinds of other comedic speech that’s not parody that can have similar misleading connotations for comedic effect. If those have to be clearly labeled “jokes”, then you’ve neutered comedy.

What are you saying? That we aren't all super different individuals and are actually in fact a very very narrow window of a specific tech culture? Madness.
That's a bad assumption. I obsess about the details and I don't like iOS. My wife obsesses about details but doesn't give a damn about tech or phones. As a person, my assumption is that if you judge people by the phone they use you might not be very nice.

Wow. Thank you. Very fast, very good algorithm. I mean I was shocked at how good it is. When I try to imagine how I’d implement some thing like this, the edge cases make me dizzy. Thank you for a wonderful service.

Update: apologies for chewing up your bandwidth but I ended up trying it on half a dozen images just because I was so amazed at the results.

I'd love to get completely unexpected visits, but it happens so so so rarely. I can only remember it happening once in the past 5 years or so. Sometimes, a friend calls me on the phone because they're nearby and then we meet up, which is the next best thing I guess.
Always reminds me of this:

> Harrison, known as the “Man With the Golden Arm,” has donated blood nearly every week for 60 years. After all those donations, the 81-year-old Australian man “retired” Friday. The occasion marked the end of a monumental chapter. According to the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, he has helped saved the lives of more than 2.4 million Australian babies.

I don't know what "Justin rhetoric" is but if you want more accurate information then you won't find it in the usual places. Wikipedia articles are usually a good starting point for most things because they contain a list of references and first-hand sources. That's how I learned about mRNA vaccines and it was better than whatever was being blasted on social media and mainstream news outlets.
Setting up NFSv4, I spent two evenings on that before abandoning it.

Virtual network for a bunch of jails with nat.
I wanted exposed ports on the host machine mapped to a reverse proxy jail that did tls termination before forwarding to other jails on a virtual network (while allowing the jails on the virtual net outgoing internet access).

Several applications that were apparently built for Linux, so they did not compile on Freebsd (and no alternatives available).

Getting newer versions of software.
Often the version available in pkg is several major versions out of date.

Documentation for how to do things in general.
Yeah when there are docs/tutorials they can often be of high quality, but frequently there is just nothing or the available docs does not cover the edge case you are trying to solve.
The reasoning is quite sound, yes, but it doesn't consider the long term implications. No one outside of the USA is using iMessage and they are one regulation away from losing it in the USA too. Also, outside of the USA if they piss off Mark Zuckerberg enough they can lose the rest of the world because who would want a phone that doesn't have WhatsApp?

It also demonstrates the harm with these lock-in strategies very well. They are concerned that their product wouldn't be compelling enough for people to buy it.

Wouldn't be better if they owned the messaging platform and provide the full experience for iOS due to the fact that they control the device? Owning the platform would have given them also the ability to get revenue from non-Apple users through things like payments and other services that can be integrated into the app.

In its current situation, it might be the case that Apple has won the battle but might end up losing the war.
Can you please tell them to come re-pave my street? It's pothole heaven.
The US universities are too focused on increasing funding. This has major externalities: Marketing and premium salaries for sales staff. Marketing expenses include spending on buildings and programs (sports) which have no impact on academic output. Sales costs are related to lobbying and outreach staff - some of them extremely expensive as - unlike boring admin staff - can command premium salaries in industry. US universities have become optimized to chase after marginal dollars of additional income at the expense of cost efficiency of education. The financial incentives of the vast majority of non-academic staff are not aligned with education and this part has been in control since the ’90.
Oh yeah, what details are those? That for the longest time, Apple thought too little of their users to allow them to store files on their phone? Or the fact that the iPhone massively over-processes photos, to the point where you can instantly tell that a photo is taken with an iPhone (and not in a good way)? Or the fact that they still use lightning connectors, which they have held a cramped grip on until they are forced to switch to new technology? Or the fact that the App Store, XCode, ObjectiveC and related docs are widely regarded to have the worst DX in the industry? Or maybe that you don't own your phone enough that you can sideload apps? Or the detail that you pay 10000% markup if you choose to buy a phone with extra storage?
Meanwhile TAs, instructors, or anyone in faculty without tenure gets paid how much again? Less than $20/hr?
File Approved Got an Upgrade
With this update, we’ve moved our entire backend to a most future-proof platform, which means a faster app for you and us being able to roll out upgrades faster and more frequently. We made version 1.0 in Adalo and re-built it entirely in Bubble.io
for me it was that one guy calls it "the best messaging app" , then federighi implies that it s not really and they d need a lot of effort to make a marginally better competitor.

Also how they admit that a busy messaging service "does not cost us a lot to run", but HN constantly defends the 30% tax for app store storage space

so yeah like HN, except in HN this would start an epic flamewar "how dare you say that"
Remember C did not come out until 1972. So in the 1960s your primary options were Fortran, COBOL and assembly language (there were lots of other languages but they were relatively minor languages). Considering the major defects of assembly language there was a significant amount of use of Fortran as a general programming language in conjunction with various libraries.
Comedian Kathy Griffin Suspended from Twitter After Mocking CEO Elon Musk
As a sibling commenter noted, these figures around "staff" employees are super misleading and tend to cherrypick the most egregious examples of administrative bloat. For example, I worked for several years as a staff researcher at Harvard; along with ~30 other "staff" employees and a few members of faculty we published papers and built open-source software. Firing 9 in 10 staff employees - as the author of the article wants to do - would completely gut a huge amount of the work that big research universities do.
Strange; now I've tried it and it does indeed work. I'm fairly sure I tried that before and it wouldn't let me remove sudo, which was irritating because I switched to using doas and didn't like having sudo around. Assuming my memory isn't failing me, that must have been fixed fairly recently.
So what is it with right leaning tech guys in defense going for LOTR?

Palantir, Anduril. Does PL work in Thiel’s orbit, maybe connected at FB?

My use case for monospace is actually to align things perfectly when I write code.

/Almost monospace/ is probably great _for writing_, but I find it a bit frustrating that the author doesn't address lining up things with /almost monospace/...
90% of which are asymptomatic as of today (569 symptomatic over 5643 cases).

And percentage is most likely under-estimated as they're more likely to miss more asymptomatic cases than symptomatic cases.
> I could implement a 64-bit CPU right now that would support it (on an FPGA). It's not an inherent limitation, it's just an optimization that current CPUs do because we don't need to use the full 64-bit address space, usually.

You’re hand waving away way too much complexity. Please do build this system. Keep in mind that addressing 63bits of memory with huge tables on will use up > 2 Tera worth of PTEs which translate to what, 16 Terabit worth of memory? This is simply an order of magnitude more than dedicated machines ship with. You’re certainly not getting an FPGA with that.

> For example, according to the AddressSanitizer whitepaper, it dedicates 1/8th of the virtual address space to its shadow memory. It doesn't mean that you need to have 2 exabytes of addressable storage to use AddressSanitizer, or that it reads or writes to all that space.

I think you’re failing to appreciate how large 2^63 bytes is.

> As I said, memory overcommit and memory compression (and also page mapping in general, as well as memory mapping storage and storage compression and storage virtualization, etc) allow you to address significantly more memory (almost infinitely more) than what you actually have.

See point above. Such a system is just not likely to exist in your lifetime.

> but if you want to have standards-compliant code and be more future-proof then you cannot rely on that.

All code has a shelf life. What’s the date you’re working on here? I’m willing to bet it’s not an issue by the end of this century.
What does well understood mean in this context?
The mRNA enters the cell because of some addition to it, which seems to be the key here. What is exactly coded in front of that spike protein to enter a cell and what happens with it inside the cell?
Is this part required to enter the cell just discarded?

The cell starts production of viral protein by copying the mRNA again and keeps doing so for while. Then it somehow stops...
What exactly stops this process, except for heat shock?

Are the cells injected with the mRNA gobbled up by the immun system or does it stop on its own to produce the viral protein?

How does the viral protein leave the cell after it is produced inside of it?
For a production of a virus it would stay inside until the virus is fully assembled.
Is there a trick to the mRNA stuff, that makes the cell produce the viral particles outside of itself so the immun system can get to it?

Or is the cell bursting at some point when it is completely overloaded with viral protein?

iMessage was launched Oct 2011. iOS had plenty of cross platform messaging apps by then.
Luckily it's not a much milder virus now (Omicron vs original strains) and 90%+ of cases are asymptomatic...
What do you expect to be better in 30 years? We have NOW insane computing power, cool stuff like insane size FPGAs and super fast GPUs. Mechanical parts work with fraction of micron accuracy. And yet we have millions of workers picking simple shaped objects manually every day around the world.

Apple are pretty bad repair wise in the country I live. I've had to take macs in to get repairs many times and it's an exercise in frustration. There is no Apple store in NZ, they're slow, they won't ship things.

I bought a Dell laptop, there was a problem with the trackpad. The Dell technician came to my house and fixed it on my dining room table.

Or, you know, perhaps your girlfriend not thrilled by either the OS nor by the services you foisted on her?

Or, perhaps, "by design" people are not enthused by the prospect of running their own Nextcloud servers?
I explained what happens at a level of abstraction that makes sense for what was being asked. If you want more details then get in touch with a real biologist or geneticist. I'm not the person to answer your questions.

> I long ago concluded that trying to line stuff up in columns like this in code is a mistake. It often results in realignment of blocks for small changes so what should be a small diff in the git history ends up being big.

Seems wrongheaded to me; that's the same reason Elm wanted you to write arrays like this:

[item1
,item2
,item3
,item4
]

instead of a sane way. It means adding or removing an element only changes one line in the diff!

Who cares? It's not hard to understand what's happening in a diff that makes this kind of change. You want the code to be easy to read, not easy to diff.

You could also easily base your diff algorithm on a lexer for the language rather than a lexer for ascii, in which case changing the amount of whitespace would register as "not a change".
It is a chicken and egg problem. When you have no COVID cases, the risk of taking a vaccine for older people (its side effect) may outweigh the benefits. However, once it cannot contain COVID cases anymore, the benefits/costs calculation will change drastically and they cannot get vaccinated fast enough then. It is a dilemma that the China government needs to resolve, there is no way they can continue with this zero COVID policy forever.
Oh boy he real mad now. Amazing that simply changing a name and picture is considered impersonation.
Self hosting is cool, but my main gripe is all the administration you have to do. I self host at home for content like music, my contacts and password management and my pictures and all that kind of stuff, and I've found a good minimal bullshit way of setting everything up. Self hosting a public presence is a different story.

It's not that hard, but it's not set it and forget it. So over time I've offloaded that work onto people that are already doing it. I put my social media presence on a fediverse admin who's doing it already, same with my code hosting. That's really all I need, maybe one day a blog.

If I decide to self host all this stuff, I'd probably run a Gemini server, a honk server and cgit for code, if I don't need a lot of collaboration on what I do. If I host for other people my needs would be more, but I don't foresee that.
This could be aiming at Gogoro and the like, which have a pretty good sized market in Taiwan and are just beginning to expand from there.

It'll be interesting to see whether Honda follows Gogoro with swapable batteries, charging infrastructure, sharing apps etc.

These machines look more robust than an e-bicycle: better suited to rental markets, and perhaps in countries with lower quality road infrastructure.

Agreed, I lived in Copenhagen and I had to sign up for Messenger to chat with new friends there.
Depends on your definition of pretend I guess. Actors pretend to be people they’re not. Comedians pretend to be people all the time to make fun of them.

Identity theft is using someone else’s identity for the purpose of committing fraud. I think the fraud is the actual crime, not impersonation.

For example, there are professional impersonators of famous actors. I don’t think it’s illegal in any way.
Your goals may be too ambitious.
Okay, no. If you're going to set the bar at "must be identical to Linux" then you may as well just use Linux. Docker specifically (and anything based on cgroups) is so closely tied to Linux that you're not going to find a clone on a non-Linux platform. Nor should you.

Insofar as encapsulating a container in a file-like format, the primitives are all there: you can export a ZFS snapshot of your jail to a file. Higher level tooling is there as well: iocage has an export subcommand.

Building jails is an exercise left to the reader. I've always found Dockerfiles to be archaic and generally unpleasant to deal with such that I feel like the lack of a Docker compatible template file is a feature not a bug. While I use ansible and some shell scripts, things like Nomad already support (iocage) jails.
Why sonar? The idea I think should be to build an object hierarchy from sounds alone and then maybe down the line pair it with a video network that does the same

> when someone dies, it's not as mild.

When millions (let alone billions) die, people like you pretending that said deaths are acceptable because the people who warned about it and sought to prevent it dared to mildly inconvenience some rich people will not be remembered fondly - assuming anyone's alive to remember you at all.

> then I believe the moon is made of green cheese and is inhabited by lizard people

If there was any evidence for that whatsoever then maybe you'd have something vaguely resembling a point.

> you get a majority of regular people together and out vote them out

Which does not happen when the incumbent rich and powerful control virtually all mass media and strongly influence the pool of candidates for political offices. Said rich and powerful are quite content to manipulate people like you into condemning those who dared to at least try to prevent the untold death and suffering instead of, you know, the very people putting their own wealth and power above humanity's survival. Said rich and powerful are also quite content to limit democratic options to that effect. "Choose between ignoring the problem or paying lipservice to it" is not a reasonable choice.

> and stunts and behaviors and extremism are highly unlikely to change that

Asking nicely hasn't changed that, either.
My microwave has a picture of a cup with a spoon in it to warn you to only boil water with something in it. Despite being warned for years not to put anything metal in a microwave it's actually fine to leave a metal spoon in water to stop it from superheating.
