Put on your systems theory hat when thinking about alternatives.

FWIW, As was discussed in the post, ground/departure channels at a major airport were overwhelmingly busy for a private pilot untrained in that environment. As an occasional private passenger, I'm accustomed to quite low radio traffic because of the routes and airports we use. I've heard radio so quiet that a Controller handed us off to... herself on a different frequency for a different airspace.
Yeah, as the other person says, it’s weird to combine A-level chips which were mobile only (minus that short stint where they put it in a Mac Mini before the M1 was ready) with the M-level chips.

Sure, they’re all “Apple Silicon” but the chips should be compared to their equivalents, M-level with Intel/AMD and A-level with Snapdragon/Exonys. We don’t really compare Snapdragon to Core any other time, as they both optimize for vastly different things.

I would also argue that Apple is continuing to make big boosts in their A-level chips compared to their mobile counterparts.

These accretion discs are always described as emitting extreme amounts of energy, but it is never clear what makes them do this. We know stars convert mass to energy by fusion under extreme pressure and temperature in their cores.

Does this accretion disc have extreme pressure domains where fusion happens? Or is it more like streams of matter being accelerated to collide like a synchrotron, with no pressure and only massed velocity driving nuclei to fuse, a beam striking a target?

Or are we getting extreme pressure via confinement in twisted magnetic fields, like what is attempted in Tokamaks?

And, is the energy coming from fusion at all? Could gravitation alone account for the energy released, without fusion occurring in the disc?
> Real effectiveness is negative.

Your whole comment reeks BS. I don't see any plausible explanation for _negative_ effectiveness. And you don't link any data to support your point.
That's why the author says "theoretically" I guess ;) Yes in practice you probably wouldn't want your GPU compute engines to do such direct accesses and stall for a long time on each access, even for a one-shot streaming processing. Then even to avoid using the GPU main memory one would likely use DMA copies to a local working memory and do the processing there by chunks. But the direct mapping can still be convenient: a local DMA engine (or any HW coprocessor) can access host or GPU memory in the same way.
> Also- the secret about torrents is that nobody really gives a shit.

That’s not true in some places like Germany. Just a few seconds of uploading a somewhat popular movie or porn without a VPN will get you a C&D + fees letter.
If you believe the language benchmark game, Ruby is faster than Python on many of the microbenchmarks: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

And the benchmark game is using Ruby 3.1, whereas 3.2 is significantly faster. YMMV though, it is going to depend on your use case, but we are always working on making Ruby faster, and if you run into a use case where Python is a lot faster, you can ping me on twitter @Love2Code and tell me about it. We'll take a look.

The big thing is the Mac Studio is an out of box config and the M2 Pro is custom. It's risky relying on custom Apple configs from experience as the turnaround for repairs is much longer.
The article is paywalled. The fact that there is a paywalled news sight just for propane is interesting in itself though.
With the Pro Mini, I wonder if the lower-end of the Studio "moves up"... $X00 more, but with an M2 not available on the mini?
It’s not a true dependency because they could do it themselves - it’s just a bit more expensive. Remember we are comparing catastrophes here; while Bangladesh might starve and lose most of its land, at the same time the US will probably just need to spend a bit more on food and make their own clothes. Both are affected, but orders of magnitude difference in the affects. Rich will still be rich, just a bit less.
Interesting, that explanation does make sense. It's interesting to think about how the limits of human synchronous focus are involved. That must be such a stressful job! TIL about ACARS.
That sounds like a really cool set of tests, I'll have to check that link out. I have glued a few guitar headstocks after some nasty cracks. With only standard wood glue they would hold great. The strings apply a lot of pressure, and I never saw a single one fail.

Another nice note about standard wood glue is you can generally steam it apart in case something goes awry.
You can also set RUBY_YJIT_ENABLE=1 to enable it.

Few questions:

How did you get your first users?

Is this really a problem on Twitter? Plenty of tools out there to get your bookmarks. I don't see this being huge.
Yeah, certainly from a UK perspective that part of the GP didn't ring true. While my parent isn't one of the boomer generation that will be extremely well off and I personally worry for their retirement, across the generation in general I think they might have experienced the peak retirement experience.

I personally don't think retirement as exists today will be a thing by the time I reach the same age. I haven't really looked much into the history so I could be way off base here. My impression is pensions, state provided and private, only really came into being post WW2. While the age distribution was able to support it there was something of a golden age for the older cohort of the boomer generation with final salary pension schemes, retirement at 50, etc. As the population pyramid continues to invert the pyramid scheme begins to collapse.

Whatever the answer to old age ends up being I don't think it will be particularly recognizable relative to schemes today. Certainly there seems to be no answer to what happens when the next generation of retirees has no housing security or wealth, thanks to the growth of real estate speculation worldwide and rentier capitalism draining younger generations of all wealth.

I often joke that my retirement plan is to rob a bank, either you get the money and run away to somewhere with no extradition, or you go to jail and get bed and board.

It can remove a few increments/decrements (more like a single pair at inlining a function), but that’s not what makes it problematic.

If you do have a bigger object graph, not using it anymore will recursively go on and decrement the counters, removing potentially many objects from memory, totally killing the given thread’s cache/performance. All that is amortized with a tracing GC. On top, atomic counters are very expensive.

Of course you can probably get away with using (A)RC at few places at most with Rust, but if you decide to track object lifetimes with RC for loads of objects, it will have a price (which may or may not be worthy. In my opinion, it is better to stick to Rust for low-level programs)

I have never seen any of the issues you're having here and I've had probably 20-30 iterations of apple products over the last 20 years.

The last true issue I had with apple hardware or software was in 2002-2003ish with a snow iBook that had a motherboard failure, but after that I've had nearly 20 unbroken years of basically fault-free existence which is pretty amazing if you ask me.
Thanks! Is there a "canonical" place to find this documented, like with the ruby distro?

> For Rails you'd want to just edit the executable Rails scripts like `bin/rails` to include that flag.

Alternately, you can edit your shell init scripts to put the correct thing in `RUBY_OPTS` ENV variable, yes?

I would consider this preferable to editing executable rails scripts with implementation-specific stuff (and then hoping that the app is always launched with those edited shell scripts, which I'm not sure eg `bundle exec rails` will do). I don't think editing Rails scripts is probably the "right" or recommended way to do this.

But I'm not going to try to specify what you put in `RUBY_OPTS` since i haven't done it myself and don't want to spread misinformation! (Again, is this documented in a centralized trustworthy place? As I try to google it... I am somewhat frustrated with the ruby documentation situation!)

I yearn to return to the days where search engines worked on keywords. When you could explicitly tell it what terms you were looking for. None of this "trying to guess what you really meant" stuff. I've found that all of the old 'google-fu' techniques only work incidentally. Perhaps it is because they want people to ask questions using natural language? I understand that an "answer engine" has its use cases, but that shouldn't be the end-all-be-all of what it means to query something online.

I have no idea what kind of metrics lead Google towards fixating on the most generic terms of a search, but it is infuriating that Bing is moving in this direction too. It seems like even Google's competitors cannot help but follow its lead.

Java and the JVM has a garbage collector, and will likely always have, and GC makes memory management a lot simpler and safer, so while you could use try-with-resources for some kind of memory related resource, it likely would not be to make things safer, but to make things less safe and faster, and if you start doing that you will have significantly reduced safety compared to rust I think.

So your issue is with me pointing out that saying what amounts to "Nothing you say can change my mind" isn't conducive to conversation?

How would you say the OP adds to the discussion if what they say, almost by definition, is meant to shut down discussion? Or is your issue with pointing out HN guidelines? It feels like you're reading way more into my point than was actually there if you think I was criticizing anything related to their life decisions.

It's fine with me if someone has that point of view. But I don't think a forum like HN, which is supposed to be about fostering dialogue, is the best place to share it, or at least share it in that manner.
I spent a good chunk of my money back then buying the monthly issues, drooling over them. Unfortunatelly, it seems not many archivists have kept the 1990s editions... or didn't care to share them to the public, at least. I would have liked to get a copy in some kind of digital format.
From Wikipedia: Vaccine misinformation
In May 2021, Kirsch posted an article online claiming that COVID-19 vaccines affect fertility, while also underplaying the vaccines' ability to prevent illness and death, both statements criticized by fact checkers as being inaccurate and misleading.[14] In September 2021, speaking at an FDA meeting and identifying himself as CETF's executive director, Kirsch claimed that the vaccines "kill twice as many as they save"; the FDA responded that Kirsch had misinterpreted data and that there was no evidence his statement was true.[11][15] Reuters assessed the claim as false.[15]

In October 2021, Kirsch founded the anti-vaccine group Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF),[16] which created ads depicting deaths the group attributed to vaccines.[17][18] Foundation advisors include Robert Malone, Peter McCullough, and Stephanie Seneff. Soon after, Kirsch appeared with Malone on the Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying podcast, which according to MIT Technical Review "introduced Kirsch to followers of the 'intellectual dark web'" and allowed him to access a "large and receptive audience to his claims about a fluvoxamine conspiracy".[11]
Can it resolve me not being able to use MATE as the desktop environment?

My biggest gripe with Mac OS X is the window manager. I want to be able to ALT+right-click anywhere on a window to be able to move it around, alt+left-click anywhere on a window to resize it. I want to be able to click the dock icon for an app I'm using and have the most recently used window of that app come to the foreground instead of however it makes that decision. I'd love to get preview thumbnails of windows when hovering over icons in the doc so that I can select the window I want. Right-click plus reading window titles takes longer to find the window I need.

I want to be able to customize my fonts because I have a hard time reading text on my QHD external monitor.

I want a terminal that doesn't suck (and yes I use iterm2, it still sucks because I can't quickly jump to the end / beginning of a line to edit a command).

I want to be able to select text to copy to clipboard and use my middle mouse button to paste and I want that to work for all programs.

I want to be able to hold ctrl plus use the mouse wheel to zoom in / out of web pages on chrome ... something Linux and Windows both do out of the box but it just doesn't work on Mac OS X.

I want to be able to customize all of this and not feel like I'm locked in to "the Apple way" of doing things.

I lot of this is just familiarity and getting really used to a particular DE over decades of use and taking little things for granted. If all you've ever used is a Mac then I'm sure you've figured out how to be hyper-productive on that DE. I just find it strange that, from a company that somehow positioned itself as UX leaders ... I find that I'm 1/10th as productive on my work Macbook as I am on any nix device (and while Mac might use a heavily modified NetBSD kernel IIRC and have zsh and bash ... it feels very different from a nix machine to me).
How does the OS know for which programs I require better performance?
> Switching is possible, but the cost to replace it is half a decade or more.

I would imagine if you're going to switch millions of lines from one language to another - you wouldn't do it by hand - you'd write something transpile it?

Has any company actually done something like this before - especially somewhat recently?

I can't imagine anyone doing it by hand...
> If a show like the X-Files was going to get cancelled on a cliff hanger of the "main story", it didn't really matter because 9 out of 10 episodes didn't involve the main story and therefore wouldn't be retroactively devalued by a cliffhanger cancellation.

This is probably the root of the difference in my take on media - I don't believe it's possible for a later instalment to retroactively devalue previous ones.

While this might be true, there were some reports (without government confirmation) that such missiles already deployed before 2001 [1]. The other thing is that it might be only a bluff the FAA officer add fot psychological purpose.

Even leaving aside the question of whether the FBI actually compromised Tor, or just did something way more mundane like infect the defendant's PC with malware, the linked court document is really interesting.

Not only does the FBI decline to say how they determined what IP address the defendant used to access the Tor hidden service, but they're also trying to hide the fact that the defendant asked to see that information by requesting the court label the defendant's court filing itself a "highly sensitive document"? And the court granted that request? Is that normal? It seems really bizarre to me, but I'm not a lawyer.
True, but I would argue that it actually makes some sense for the XPS, Dell's only "pro desktop" option (does Vostro count as "pro"?).

That the Mac mini can cost either X or ~10X is more like saying "a car starts at $15k and can cost $150k". Throw in that it clearly overlaps with the Mac Pro and Mac Studio and I can only ask "why would I pick X, Y or Z?" It seems like the Studio is the way to go vs a mini configured above or around $2000, unless Apple is simply peddling to datacenter customers with Mac mini server racks (which hey, maybe).
Actually, my M1 never uses the 16gb (8 at most), even though I have several IDEs running (also browser of course). I'm not sure what generate such memory consumption for some users.

E2E and onion routing are potentially problematic -- if they aren't compromised by the government.

Yes. Not only is YJIT directly integrated into CRuby, it's also 100% compatible with your existing Ruby code, which is why we chose to go that route.

We didn't want to independently reimplement Ruby because we knew that this would lead to a situation where we wouldn't be 100% compatible, which would stop people from using YJIT. If you think about PyPy for example, they have great performance numbers, but relatively few people are using it.
