No. That's not comparable at all.

What he's saying is that he's tried later versions of the same OS and he doesn't like them.

I've tried the later versions, too. I don't like them either. As such, I think his assessment is sound.

Additionally, this piece does not stand alone. He has written about this extensively before, in January 2021:

And then revisiting it a month later after it received a lot of comment and attention:

https://morrick.me/archives/9220

He went into great depth in those posts. He knows this subject area exceptionally well. The first one of them, particularly, went viral and TBH I'd expect you to have known that, and to have read those earlier posts, before you start passing judgement. Otherwise you look ill-informed and ignorant, and to be judging on that basis of a lack of understanding.

In addition I'd add that I started using Mac OS X with 10.0, and on unsupported old Macs because new ones were too expensive for me to afford back then, so I hung out in various fora for people running unsupported kit.

(P.S. Don't "lad" me. I've been doing this stuff for more than a third of a century, and that's professionally, after nearly a decade as a hobbyist.)

I'm still in those fora and their modern continuations.

When Riccardo said that he felt that the experience had degraded since "Snow Leopard", he is merely expressing a widely-held view. Many old OS X hands feel that from 10.0 to 10.6 it got better and better, and since then, it's deteriorated and it's still doing so.

In other words, this is not a controversial or contrarian view.
Zero dollars! Woo!!!

I think I should have gotten it replaced. I just felt like I would get the same terrible keyboard, but I now realize it would have been better for a while, and that would have been good for productivity. Ah well. (I used an external keyboard but got it out less than half the time.)

This adds insult to injury.
Not knowing much about the US prison system, I have to ask: why is obvious that you can't send used books to inmates? Is communication restricted in a way that you can't send them letters, and used books are banned because they could contain hidden messages, or what?
Ah, too bad. I wonder why it needs a distinct Linux syscall interface though. There must be a reason why the existing x86_64 or x86 syscalls could not be used for x32.
i don’t think that’s the issue, but the lawsuit probably only applies to US customers
That's not the biggest thing that can help you learn something complex. Practice is the biggest thing. And there are many variations of what motivates people to practice.
I totally second this. For someone who has a tortuous relationship with mathematics, I always lovedthe beauty of som concepts but to a certain point, got lost mainly due to knowledge base not really understood. Getting to know some historical facts would have help to be more critical to myself ( rather than just copy and paste formula).

Years later I surprised myself spending time on new maths problems thanks to YouTube maths contents(3brown1blue, Michael Penn, mindyourdecisions,etc...) Which make me reboot my knowledge.
The challenge here is how is it inseminated during your scholarship.

From the what I remember, complex number theory were introduced to me as a rule that need to be acknowledged ( with no incentive to look further).

My friend had a terrible experience with Apple.

Her MacBook pro wouldn't turn on. It was less than a year old and she paid for AppleCare+ so she was told it would be covered under warranty.

She got a call to pick it up and when she arrived she was told there was internal water damage and she had to pay $450. Also that the screen was scratched and they would replace it when the part came in. Her screen was not scratched when she dropped it off.

But she noticed her stickers were gone and the shell was all scratched on the top and bottom.

She asked someone if this was even her laptop and they checked and ensured her it was and the shell had to be replaced and that's why her stickers were gone but the shell wasn't new as it was all scratched.

Then she asked why the background would have changed and they told her they had to reset everything and she lost all of her files.

She was devastated as they said they would call and discuss options if it came to that.

They said they could undo the repair and she could take it somewhere else but if Apple can't recover the files then no one else would be able to recover them.
Insofar as there is a cultural element, I'd say companies used to take more risk on average, at least at the individual worker level. My sense is having an extra pair of hands to help used to be seen as an opportunity, now every single pair of hands must have a concrete, justified purpose before they even get an interview.

Bean-counting and cost cutting has always been present in business, but, likely due to the rise of modern computing and metrics/data gathering capabilities, it seems to have been taken to an unproductive extreme.

Of course that's only the social component. Globalization and the hollowing out of labor unions (at least in the US) have also certainly contributed.
A lot of game development roles don't involve writing software but are just as exploited, like artists and designers.

Memory is very fallible, and if you can't remember the source I'd suggest it's quite possible you're not accurately remembering the information as well. Even in cases where someone's memory is entirely accurate, without a source it's hard to see if we're missing relevant context (for instance, if a certain piece of information was gathered decades earlier). A few years back[1] the ACLU claimed that it's polling found broad support for prison reform and reducing the prison population.

When Obama first came into office, Senator Jim Webb (generally considered a moderate) actually had a plan for a commission to study the criminal justice system in the U.S. in an effort to reform it. It received widespread support, with even a number of Republicans co-sponsoring the bill. The leadership didn't seem particularly interested in it, for whatever reason, and nothing came from it.

Shrug I would hate to work in the game industry. I've made games as hobby projects. In all honesty, they're the most boring kind of programming I've done. Game testing sounds even worse.

My current work is pretty boring to other people, but I like it. Would it be right for someone in my role who hates the work to make more money?

Love both languages. However, by the time I discovered Ruby, around 2010, I had already invested a lot of time in Python - and the Python ecosystem was already leaps and bounds ahead when it came to numerical and analysis-related libraries. But Ruby had an elegance to it and expressiveness which was a welcome change from Python and other commonly-used languages at the time. I think a lot of people had similar experiences but were already invested in a tool which came with a large collection of ready-made and tested add-ons.
Neither, I normally work for privately held companies with between 200-1000 employees and revenues between 500million and 1 billion per year

Why does your emoji (exploding head) on your landing page lead to an external page describing that emoji? https://emojipedia.org/exploding-head/
I compiled that code with slight modifications (needed an actual func1 function) with a cross-compiler I had laying around into actual executables:

cross g++ version 8.4.0 for aarch64: 13712 bytes

native g++ version 11.3.0-3 for RV64GC: 13968 bytes

... but that includes a bunch of startup stuff, so that's not a good measure.

Modifying the code to generate binary on godbolt:

ARM64, 3816 bytes: https://godbolt.org/z/vn3de5nEc

RV64GC, 3226 bytes: https://godbolt.org/z/4ovMTaxo9

So an 18% increase in code size for ARM 64-bit vs RISC-V 64-bit. As you can see in the generated code, there are 16-bit compressed instructions by default with the RV64GC binary.

I posted this because I thought it was a useful real-world example of how these systems aren't the panacea they're often described as, and a practical example of how the misleading confidence can be harmful to understanding.
It has been a long time since I have done anything in this domain (20+ years), but if I understand correctly, the original article author is essentially filtering out high frequency signals by painting over the bright FFT spots, essentially creating a localized low-pass filter or maybe band-pass filter.

FFT essentially just transforms data into its frequency domain, so I assume the representation shown in the article is just that, brighter spots indicate higher frequency information (which would come from all the little spaced dots), so killing those essentially smooths the noise out of the data.

I imagine that the same effect could be automatically achieved by identifying which frequencies to filter out to get the desired effect.
Not to forget to be used as tool against political opponents.
Putting more pressure on themselves sounds very counterproductive.
Yes, there are legitimate concerns with specifics of the materials in this context.
Ruby is typically brief and clear.

I work in Python now, and I often have to use 5-7 lines for what would have been 2-4 in Ruby. Because you have to clutter the Python with trivial details, not because the Ruby code is "magic".

Ah yes, the at-will employment in the US at work I see.

In this case, Jobs wills it that some people work for him until he's okay with them leaving and throws his toys out the cot when the people in question feel otherwise.

Yes, I think he did an amazing job. Being the maintainer of a popular open source project is the most thankless job and if the project is a language or an operating system doubly so. Every Tom, Dick & Harriet that has ever opened a CS book will have an opinion and dealing with all that over the years in a courteous way really adds up.

It's one issue which will likely be addressed in the near future. You're blowing it out of proportion.
P38s, way simpler than RRCs and far less rot-prone.
you probably know more, but my ignorant guess is that you need about half as many gates, but about 20× as many cycles (because things that would stall for an entire instruction time in a bit-parallel implementation only stall for a single cycle), it might consume about 10× as much energy?

but generally the kinds of places you'd want to use something like this, the cpu won't be even 1% of the power draw
Feel you.
> When you have alternatives you aren't being exploited.

That's a narrow definition. Perhaps a better definition is when the other party knows you don't have leverage and takes advantage of it, you're being exploited.

Paying you little, knowing you'd work for a low wage because this is your passion? Exploitation.

Horrible working conditions, wages, and abuse knowing you're an illegal immigrant with no recourse? Exploitation.

Knowing you need the job for visa purposes and asking you to come in for a 2am code review because a new CEO wants to feel like an engineer? Exploitation.
This is all true, provided that membership is voluntary and such organizations get no special legal privileges.
The point is it's possible to have union contracts under US law where pay and title isn't based on tenure. Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they can't happen.
That's correct. Prison populations are included in the areas they are located for census purposes, further skewing political power towards rural areas.
1. similar performance: There are some additional details here that may require Native Format to be enabled and some optimisations to be made, Clickbench does not always reflect the results in the best conditions and latest version.

2. RRIR: In fact, it is not rewritten in Rust, Databend is a different project. In addition, Databend supports the blake3 algorithm mentioned in the link much earlier. We are happy to see Clickhouse getting better.
Especially as it seems in this case the customers are all local farmer who probably know each other. They would save the 30% profit the company apparently makes. However if the current owner really works 15 hours a day and sleeps in the office to keep the place running he might have to be replaced by two employees, and with the 500k debt the whole thing may not even be worth it as a co-op.
Then you probably don't want to be a shareholder at all; I'm pretty sure any business that is publicly traded has done it at one time or another.

That cite doesn't support what the person said above. Here is their claim again:

> So if you drink caffeine in the first ~90minutes of waking then you dont actually clear the adenosine as well, and then when the caffeine hits it's half life (about 6 hours later) you'll feel tired again. Solution: let your body clear adenosine naturally before you consume caffeine.

That is a very specific claim. Your cite is about caffeine antagonizing adenosine receptors, but what the comment above is talking about is that caffeine slows your body from clearing adenosine in your blood which is very different.

I'd like to read a cite about the above quoted claim. Simplying googling "adenosine and caffeine" doesn't immediately support it, because again "antagonizing adenosine receptors" and "dont actually clear the adenosine as well" aren't remotely the same claim.

> I always wonder how desperate and depressing it can be for being a deafblind

Here are some things I've learned that have changed my perception of things a bit:

1. The later in life disabilities come into play (especially around blindness and deafness), the harder it tends to be for people. It's not just the adjustment and learning new things - it's also the loss. But for people that are born with the same set of limitations, it's usually just the norm for them so less traumatic in general. This is an important distinction a lot of times because it can be easy to lump everyone into the idea that it's "desperate and depressing."

2. There are thriving communities and educational institutions where people can find others that are in the same boat. Us non-disabled folks tend to not know about them because they can fly under the radar, but they exist and people can find a lot of support in those circles. Sure, it's going to be limited given the population size and bumping up against the abled-focus world can be incredibly tough, but it isn't as grim as we tend to think from the outside.

Co-heads is always a subtext for executive disfunction.
I don't think I've ever heard of it working out long term at any level from division co-head to co-CEO.

It's also fascinating the opposite direction is also allowed to persist - the guy who is CEO of 4 companies at once.

As a lowly high income IC, I am prohibited from almost any outside business activity and in some cases forced to divest when joining a new firm. Somehow the guy running the company who has actual ability to make conflicted decisions is allowed to moonlight? Fabulous.

My thought was more timing - there’s so much that’s URGENT for a young startup, is cost cutting really urgent, something you have to do NOW, when the current savings are just $110/month? Part of what allows startups to survive is ruthless focus on the work that that’s most important today, and saving $110/month seems unlikely to be that.

However, the blog post author responded, noting that this migration took only 1 weekend, and they like other aspects of Fly than just the cost. So fair enough, 1 weekend is a small investment, less than I expected, I would have guessed this took 2+ weeks.

The person is not walking in to business meetings arguing the ethics of incest. Clearly they understand this given their declaration of a throwaway.

I think it's also probably safe to say they're not delivering these opinions as non-sequiturs. If there is some news article posted for discussion about incest, and I showed up to say "I don't like incest", I doubt I'd find anyone telling me about references to

Why Self-Hosting a Server Isn’t a Good Idea
I agree on one point: Apple should be refunding a fractional laptop value to anyone who bought a device with the butterfly keyboard. This is a pretty underwhelming agreement.

I disagree on your other point: I think Apple absolutely did the right thing removing the charger. Everyone's got a charger at this point, and making it a nominal option during the purchase of the device would be good enough.

And in fact, I think the law should be that anything that can be charged by a Lightning/USB-* charger should be. I recently acquired a rechargeable flossing device, and an electric razor and I see no reason why these should have their own proprietary chargers.
Also, you make these announcements to appease analysts, not to be hidden from them.
Sorry, but much of this is pop culture nonsense. ADHD has a cluster of symptoms that are extremely disruptive to a large range of activities. Taking reasonable, low doses of stimulant medication can change how the brain functions and make day to day activities more tolerable.

I don't know how you square your ideology with the fact ADHD people often struggle with day to day activities, eg. chores. So unless you think man was meant to have a women at home (I guess you could generalize to "caretaker"), I have no clue what you're talking about. Even if you solve this problem that doesn't explain the many other areas ADHD people struggle, like with basic socializing.

There's a place for critiques of our culture and work environments. However, ADHD certainly exists and needs treatment, even in a more ideal world... they had these problems in "fishing times" or whatever, they just called it madness, or figured you were a horrible person.

Nah, c'mon, Most of us are unqualified to synthesize the dozens (if not hundreds) of sources it takes to be an expert in a field. Saying podcasts and reddit is the same as no source is like saying "People are no source" -- it entirely depends on the person.

That's a decently trustworthy source to trust for physiological information.

I mean, do you force your GP to provide sources and then go read them before you take their advice? Even if you do, it's not advisable for the majority of people.

If 1.63% of PyPi is worth $26615/yr, the implication is all of PyPi added together would only be worth $1.6M, which seems low.
