The latest m1 MacBooks frankly felt like iPads with permanently attached keyboard. It offers none of the convenience of a typical Wintel laptop, namely getting software running out of the box, and the mouse and touchpad lag is atrocious. I don’t know how mac users put up with it.

Though the only experience I’ve had with macs are at apple stores.
The hypothesis of a prohibition on grabby aliens feels more plausible to me than most others. We’re relatively early on the scene. If one Von Neumann probe got out from a civilization it could mean no other species evolve again in the universe. That’s surely disastrous since the universe will be around for trillions of years and survival will require adaptation over that period. So maybe they’re around and watchful to allow species to evolve on their relative own.

Aside, I really wish we were already building the successor to JWST. And multiples of them for surety of success. For verification but also the universe is literally the largest thing we know. Lots of science to learn just by careful watching. It’s also work (astronomy) that does add to human knowledge with few negative externalities. So create jobs for astronomers!!

Could you expand on this statement?

If some websites or services are too insisting on consuming (apps, youtube, news websites, telegram publics) than you may just not use them. But if your computer has no keyboard than you can not effectively produce text which is (and always was) the very basis of human civilisation. What if possible to create if 97% of people are not working with either text or anything analog? Various spam like Youtube videos and photos for social networks?
Well you're going to use either your own IP address or a VPN to connect to Telegram, right? So what difference does it make if they see that you mined coins from the same address? It doesn't give away any additional info.

And if your current interface is not hurting you, making you to want to hurt it back, remove it from existence altogether and start from scratch, one layer deeper in the stack, well, you are not a maker. And that is fine, enjoy your interface.

In America, cops generally will leave you alone unless you're actively breaking the law right in front of them. Most departments are understaffed already, especially in big cities. In Dallas, there were a couple of suburbs that were notorious for writing traffic tickets and in those areas, people would slow down. But those areas were wealthy and have low crime rates so the local police don't have much else to do.

If we set aside moralizing, and take only the facts, then:

1. the company moved to countries with higher multipliers (i.e. with the same profit, the Dutch or German company is worth several times more than the Russian one). The current outbreak of Russophobia and panic associated with sanctions has given a unique chance to do such a relocation. They write that 800 employees agreed to move in 2022. How many would have agreed in 2021 or 2014?

2. in Russia, quite a few of the employees are local citizens. Some of them had their own homes. By getting a better offer, they could change jobs in 2 weeks. In Holland (Cyprus, Germany, ...), they need a residence permit for 1 year, tied to a specific employer. If they decide to change jobs, the new employer has to go through a months-long bureaucratic process, comparable to the process of initial migration from Russia - and this process does not guarantee a successful conclusion. And all these months they will have to pay for rented housing. And the previous (1 year, remember?) permit can expire during this process, which threatens deportation. That is, the employees have become much more dependent on the company, they will not scatter in the event of a major reorganization, cost-cutting (for the sake of morality and democracy, of course), etc.

This all looks like preparation for the sale of JetBrains. I would bet that this will happen in the coming months. The difference between 2014 and 2022 is somewhere in here, not in who attacked whom and when.

(the above is a subjective perception of their text and pure speculations, based on personal experience in a similar relocation of an IT company from Russia to EU short before 2014)

I think VN probes are impossibly hard and extremely unlikely.

A working VN probe literally has to reproduce a significant part of an entire civilisation's industrial capacity - mining, refining, all levels of assembly - while improvising with a mix of raw materials which may not be similar to those available at source.

And it has to do it in a way that is 100% guaranteed free from software bugs, hardware failures, and general space wear and tear. Over millions of years. (Assuming FTL isn't possible.)

You may as well as just seed viruses everywhere and see what they evolve into. (What if we are the VN probe?)

For a higher level language, one idea would be to automatically widen the result of operations, so for example adding two 32 bit integers would have a 33 bit result.

Since the expression will be eventually assigned to some variable or passed as a function parameter, it will have a limited range (and there should be an exception if that overflows), but intermediate results could be larger.

Is this just completely unfeasible, or just not done because "that's not how C does it"?

> The most annoying one, is that the app always defaults to the closest location "as the bird flies."

So many apps do this and it's really annoying. There are quite a lot of commercial activity on the other side of the river from where I live, and every store's site I visit, or app I use, always recommends a couple of locations that are closest "as the bird flies", but require me to take a ferry, or drive an hour and a half, whereas the store that's actually the quickest to get to for me is just 15 minutes away from me in the next town over on my side of the river.

It's understandable though, because it's so much easier to calculate straight line distance, and I guess in most cases it gives the right, or close to the right answer. I've just accepted that I live in an edge case area for how the majority of commerces calculates these things.
Because there's only one way to turn up the heat on the crypto hellscape: more blockchain.

For more than 14 years, the identity of Bitcoin’s creator or creators has remained a mystery. On January 3, 2009, a character known as “Satoshi Nakamoto” mined the first Bitcoin (BTC). Nobody knows who is behind the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto that has been credited with developing the world’s first and largest, cryptocurrency — Bitcoin.
I have a couple of thoughts on this but they're more parallel than in complete agreement:

1. I don't think we need a phone and a home computer. There's really very little reason at this point why they can't be one and the same. A device that plugs into a dock at home and becomes a home computer, and when you undock it it becomes a phone. And I don't mean the ham-handed attempts we've seen, I mean a full-on contextual OS switch.

2. I think the next major evolution in phones should be removing the screen. We need to develop a voice assistant technology which retains context and can "understand" in a more conversational style, but I think that once we've jumped that hurdle there would be plenty of people—for whom phone-staring is currently an act of boredom or filling time—who would willingly get rid of that screen in favor of a voice assistant.
azure AD has a privilege escalation mechanism to local admin. you enter e.g. the jira ticket reference for documentation and the system gives you an 8h window to enable localadmin on your machine with the particular AD user. we use it to give e.g. architects who often try new software to do what you describe in an efficient manner.
> EV is the perfect platform for a camper van, you can get so much complexity out of the system by having electric everything.

Only if you're happy with being locked to camping lots and RV parks providing 230V outlets. Anyone willing to go off-road/wild camping however... when you're going far out of civilization (which is easy enough to do in Europe and even easier in the US), the last thing you need is your battery dying right when you can't afford it. For an ICE based camper, everyone I know just puts a jerry can or two in it which is almost always enough to get you to a gas station or to keep you supplied with fuel to keep warm over night, but that's not possible with an EV camper.
I agree with original intent behind docker. But is the idea of unix namespaces not serving wider purpose than what docker/podman is delivering..?

If process in question is contained within namespace then would it not be enough to stop the exploit of process in question from doing harm to your system? I assume the bad actor would not combine such exploit with, say, kernel exploit enabling to escape unix namespace.
I did train through times when access to articles wasn’t easy (because there was no scihub and I worked in india) and honestly getting the articles was not even my 10th biggest concern. I always had 50-100 pdfs ready to read, adding more to that queue was not an issue. Only times when access to literature was a problem was when you had a particular article you needed details from (which weren’t in the abstract). This was rarely a blocker and if it was there were options.

Again, I’m not saying I wouldn’t prefer to have free unfettered access to all research ever performed, or that we should give these publishers a pass, but I want to emphasize that this is not a big issue for academics. Funding, focus, politics, the culture of publish or perish, the Ponzi scheme like training funnel, these are the bigger issues.

I'm not sure why your whole scanline would need a predictor that is top pixel, left pixel, or average. Shouldn't this be for 16 or 32 pixel max?

The most popular QOI modification has been to take the average of top and left decoded pixels as predictor.

I've tried to put more bits into selecting 4 possible pixels as predictors (for a single pixel), but it doesn't work that well because the previously encoded colors are already in the table. Predictor+diff encoding weren't as successful as one would expect, probably because there pixels are processed one by one. One design principle of QOI is to read input once to encode, so not sure if people would want to try 4x the scanline.
How do you avoid being doxxed based on your writing style?
"Can you get me a pint?", "sigh - I've got to get a new phone", "buy a canoe get a paddle half price".

Buy implies buying, get implies buying/receiving, possibly at a cost, possibly an offer, all we know is you have it. Buy one get one free is standard here, BOGO would cause customer service staff to go mad from "do you mean 'Buy one, get two?'" inquiries.
Considering the current geopolitical situation, as someone living in the EU, it's safer for me to have my data/chats leaked to the russians than to facebook (whatsapp) or google (whatever their chat app of the day is named now).

The academic publishing industry in general, and Elsevier specifically, are a curse upon academia and human progress in general. But they only have power if we give it to them. There is still hope that one of these days, young academics will choose to simply not publish there anymore, and when the old guard dies off so will interest in the old information silos.

Of course, an intermediate horror scenario will then come true if the IP-holding ghoulish husk of Elsevier is snapped up by an IP troll. However, that could finally push us over the edge to rethink intellectual property timeframes.
