I mean, you're right, but that's a strawman. No one, to my knowledge, has ever seriously suggested that the standard of living we should be aiming for for everyone on earth is "early 2000s immature American low-end millionaire".

It's painfully obvious that the reason you even mention giant gas-guzzling SUVs and McMansions is because those things are self-evidently terrible even in small amounts. McMansions are naked examples of conspicuous consumption, and the classic "giant gas-guzzling SUV" is a Hummer H3, which is also very clearly something that people buy because they want to make a statement (usually one about their manliness and/or hatred of "the libs"), not because they genuinely feel that it's the best car for a particular job.

Now, there are genuine discussions to be had about just what level of consumption is sustainable for a population of 8-10 billion people, but they don't look anything like what you're offering here.
Thank you for saying this.

Massive stock buyback programs are a symptom of and contributor to a disconnected market.
This is also institutions using them wrong. You're supposed to enroll these things into DEP, which is annoying to shut up (boot into recovery, enable rw on system partition, block deviceenrollment.apple.com via hosts, turn system integrity back on), but at worst the user will be asked to enroll their device every 4 hours.
That seems like it shouldn't be hard to write as an Android app for any kernel that has USB gadget support... hmmm!
Do you mean big red and not big blue with that statement?

Also, this reads as unnecessary snide. Having a language that makes it easy to onboard new people is a major strength. A lot of Golangs success is attributed to that strength of the language.
Randomized generators are not the same as AI models built on the back of other artists who will never be paid for their contribution to the model.
My experience with this is literally the opposite, I almost never clicked the buttons on the left side (except for the language switcher but that isn't in the hamburger menu now) but I always found long tables of contents very annoying on bigger articles, I find the new design generally more comfortable to read with. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't remember the state of the fullscreen button.
I agree on that point, but not on the one where Apple should give him the original proof of purchase.

"exponentially" is not something you can just colloquially throw about in this sort of discussion. The numbers are bounded by n^6, and the whole point of the table is that it seems like it's growing at even less than that.
Noncompetes are mostly bullshit in the EU. Startup lawyers know the CEO has read too much SV literature so they write down that clause to make them happy.

"Everything belongs to your employer" clauses seem scarier to me although I have never seen them enforced either. But if you are making your employees sign those you should know it will likely kill their motivation to work on side projects, which will make them less competitive and motivated at work.
Yeah, this is a problem with how many recyclers sell their services. What they sell to businesses is something like "we dispose of your device and securely shred your data" beside some picture of physically shredded hard drives... but reality is often something more like "we have a kid run DBAN on it and then flip it on eBay".

Recyclers are going to have to have to make it worthwhile to the businesses they source their product from, and be a little bit more upfront about it, if they want to recycle these devices. What they want to do is whine to Apple so they can continue to go behind their customer's backs like they do now with every other device.
Having written my first Python & Java way before this article was written some of this stuff doesn't hold up all these years later. It took a while for startups to start using Python but there was already big OSS software infrastructure built in it in the 1990s. And everyone noticed it was slow too, in the 1990s I remember more of the Python software being interactive and/or having desktop GUI components that were laggy compared to C/C++ ones, even worse than Java GUI elements were at the time.

An opposite observation, the engineers that want to differentiate themselves by using "less popular" tools often have some of the biggest egos and are most blind to the issues in their designs.

The one place I worked where we built the application in Python was rife with:
- People with a big chip on their shoulder about Java and .NET being inferior

- Constant talk about how bad Java/.NET were and how their use of Python was so much better

- The design of the product hit every weak point of Python that Java and .NET are much stronger at

- We had bugs & data leaks that Python's issues made possible in ways that were almost impossible in Java/.NET

- Performance issues and jumping through hoops due to Python's issues around multi-threading

- Tons of tech debt and difficult to decipher code

Still there was a good result in the end, and the rapid iteration of Python was helpful in getting things done fast. The question is how bad was it to deal with the issues after the exit when the new owners had to keep scaling it.

Another place we had a bitter LISPy guy. Always trying to write everything in the most esoteric language he could, always leaving behind maintenance issues, never stopping talking about how bad the tool chains were (Java/C++) that actually brought in the revenue his job depended on.
Can you clarify if you walked away (and they let you) or not? Because if not, then it was just negotiating 101.
I'm not upset.

I can prove it to a remarkable degree with the welcome email 3 days after this model was launched.

I didn't lose backup to account. I'd already migrated to the latest M1 MacBook, and my account is fine.

There's appears to me to be no backup to the firmware lock, there is a backup to FileVault, I have file vault.

I get it and am not complaining. But person above me said it wasn't a real problem.

My point is, it can be a $4500 problem for a legitimate purchaser.
See, it's funny because as a consumer of software, I've overall been pretty pleased with solutions that come out of that process (think Jenkins, Artifactory, Elastic, Bazel).

So it does seem capable of leading to reasonable results on the eventual timescale, despite various inconveniences and tradeoffs along the way. Of course, lots of terrible software has certainly been written in Java too, so it's not fair to compare Java's cream of the crop with some random PyPI package and draw conclusions.
An urgent warning to stay meters away from a button-battery sized object somewhere along a 1,400 km road? Seems kind of pointless.

> DFES Country North chief superintendent David Gill said there would be "challenges" in locating such a small object.

Wouldn't the radioactivity make finding such a small object far, far easier? It looks like the road is two lanes with a dirt shoulder. Couldn't they get a truck, mount several geiger counters on a pole long enough to sweep the road and shoulder, and drive the road looking for a spike in radiation?
OpenJDK is free. Given the things that Java does, there aren't really any serious competitors - C# comes to mind, but not much else.
Here's a thought: if there is both protesting and rioting going on, we don't have to say this is either protesting or rioting. This implies the venn diagram of the protesters and rioters is a circle. It could be, but there also could be no overlap whatsoever. Pretending it is necessarily a circle -- they are one and the same -- is asserting a political point of view.

(Also, this makes it easy to delegitimize any protest: send some looters. As soon as anyone loots simultaneous with and adjacent to the protests, it is now a riot.)
On the third hand, they're a recycler. It's unfortunate these Macs can't be reused, but I imagine the Recycler got these for free or bought them and paid scrap metal prices, not "we'll resell this" prices.
Organic Maps is lightweight and has a simple interface, sufficient for point to point navigation and browsing a map.

I don't assume one exists. Intel could be strategically screwed. Even if they had a hypothesis for how to create a similarly insurmountable strategy like the combination of fab capability and chip design they had before, what if the hypothesis is wrong or unimplementable?
We've seen this line of reasoning in the COVID crisis. I won't be fooled twice. Everyone is systematically overstating their confidence. I'd rather deal with the problem as it arises than do unnecessary damage.

And I definitely think that relying on the weather a.k.a. "renewable energy" when you have solid prediction that its going to be unreliable, while your prediction of the possibility of averting the crisis is unknown, is beyond dumb. It's suicidal.

We're choosing the worst possible strategy right now. We have the highest probability of the worst case scenario: chaotic climate and weather while relying on said climate for energy generation. Planning for worst case is planning for the crisis happening regardless of your actions, because your confidence about the impact of your actions is pretty low.

There is no metric by which the current suicidal strategy makes sense. We're not minimizing the damage in the worst case. We're not adapting to the situation as it comes. The only scenario in which the current strategy has a better outcome is if we somehow were right about everything, not only about the impact of CO2, but about the geopolitical actions taken by China and India.

The probability that we're on the best possible strategy is practically zero.

Creatine...would say especially if you're male, is such a game-changer. Recently got my dad who is in his 70s to start taking it and it's been enormously positive for him. Really good stuff.

Personally think it's probably equally valuable for women but can't get my wife to take it (worried about the bloating which is a thing).

To your point it would be very difficult to get the equivalent creatine from your diet. Would take a lot of steak.
RISC-V isn't x86, and Intel is pathologically unable to move beyond x86.
For me the sequels never hit the same highs as Dune, but they’re still better than most sci-fi novels that have been written, and I love how they gradually lean ever further into just being really weird. God Emperor is probably the pinnacle of that. I don’t remember much of Heretics or Chapterhouse, I should probably go back and re-read them at some point.
Because delegating it to the manufacturer produces a conflict of interest (said manufacturer can't be bothered to unlock a device which is legally yours, prefers to sell a new one). Registering possessions (house, land, cars etc) is already a task of the state so it would fit there.

You can only add so many constraints to a problem until it becomes unsolvable.

It's like saying "I would like to have a non-volatile storage device that is as long-lasting as microfilm, as fast as an SSD and as cheap as a HDD." At some point, you have to renege on at least one of your constraints.
I may be spoiled, but its extremely rare we eat someplace where I find the ingredients, flavor, and options to match what we have at home. We don't travel a crazy amount (compared to people with traveling jobs or a real wanderlust), but we get around a fair amount and I see the variability you describe--but only up to a point. There's obviously places where the restaurants are truly awful, and there's places where the food is ok. But no place where on average the restaurants are excellent.

That's incredibly optimistic. I am 30 and have basically no hope this will happen in my lifetime, and in the meanwhile, BEAM works great. I agree with all your points, except when you write 2023 as if we're doing things better now. Research in this area hasn't really bore many fruit over the last 30 years as you make it look like.
Yes. Since this was refused, I've bought two new iPad Pros, two new MacBook Airs, a MacBook M1 Pro, and now the new M2 Pro, from the same store.

Things don't die very often due to typing issues. The unit tests always pick up typing problems.

Testing the code's behavior implies testing the code's typing. And if you are not testing the code's behavior then the code isn't really tested at all.
I found a pair of AirPods a while back and wanted to return them to their owner. They must be associated with an Apple ID, so I reached out to Apple and asked if they’d help me get in touch. They said no, and advised me to file a police report.

I wonder why they have this policy? They have all the necessary information to facilitate a conversation. Heck, with services like Hide My Email, they could even keep the identities of each party private.
I’m focusing on becoming a beast at systems design and architecture more than specific technologies. Whether that becomes some AI system or yet another glorified overly complex web application.

As your Guardian link says, the National Enquirer did not actually win a Pulitzer.

If you think of the prize as being given for results rather than the process, it’s not that wild: they broke a major story that affected a presidential election. People occasionally find something valuable while digging through the trash, which seems like a pretty apt analogy.

Likewise, the Nobel prize for grapheme was effectively for scribbling with a pencil on Scotch Tape and repeatedly pulling it apart. I used to do this in elementary school, but does it cheapen the Nobel Prize? I’d argue no, the prize is——-in part——-for realizing what you’ve got.
We are talking about transporting tons of equipment trough light years of radiation many times stronger then the one that is already frying computers in satellites and probes within heliosphere, heck even on Earth's surface it's enough to flip bits in RAM dies. The simpler and radiation resistant stuff you can pack on board of transport ship the less effort you have to put in shielding that equipment during transport.

As for that passive LCD - I don't see how is that an argument for anything disputed about CRT. This is a far cry from manufacturing exact usable universal LCD display of resolution of even 200x320 that is not slower than snail in terms of responsiveness.
It can be about both, tbh. Dune was like that...it was not only super detailed on the science side, the environment and biomes being so detailed and all, but it also dealt heavily with politics and religion and how either can be abused by charismatic rulers.

In addition, shows like Stargate, Star Trek, and Babylon 5 also had heavy themes of politics despite being hard sci-fi

Imagine Google showed warnings for all the pre-installed Google apps on every phone.

Warning: Google Background Services can read your SMSes, sideload apps without your knowledge or consent, request your location, and basically anything else your device is capable of doing (see the control panel in your Google account for what you, and Google, can make this do).

Warning: on some devices, Google Maps will nag you to upload WiFi access points every time you open the app. It's opt-in so technically legal!

Warning: every website you type in this browser's address bar will be sent to Google.

Warning: text you type on this keyboard may be sent to Google for improving text suggestions for everyone.

It would be a heck of a lot of pop ups on first boot and the best marketing Apple could ever wish for. Apple is not necessarily better, but they're not being hypocritical by adding warning labels for third party noncommercial open source alternatives (OsmAnd isn't the first one where Google does this, FairEmail has a similar story).
Placebo is a baseline effect. It's a hurdle to clear to show efficacy above the minimum any substance can meet.

I've heard this argument before, i.e., placebo is an effect therefore why not, but I cannot understand why time and money would be committed to an activity or substance that is only as good as any other activity or substance.

Placebo should signal: move along, nothing to see here!

Ask HN: What would you easily like to verify about an organization?
Before deciding to transact with an org (company, institution, etc), what claim about it would you easily like to make sure is true? This could be checking about an attribute or that a given request indeed originates from said org.

- Provider A does deliveries in country X

- Company B is compliant with standard Y

- Phone call is indeed on behalf of a company Z
That sounds like a lot of extra effort that should not be necessary, given that per GP,

I mean… sort of. It’d be like trying to write an ML stack in lisp circa 2023. Sure, you can find devs willing to learn it, but it’ll be at least two orders or magnitude easier to find python devs.

I love lisp, but the thought of being forced to use it exclusively for ML makes me uneasy. And I’ve tried building lisp ML stacks. :)
Not really. Just drive the route as slow as you need to for your extra sensitive Geiger counter to be able to tell you if it has picked up something beyond background radiation. It’s a road in the middle of nowhere, there shouldn’t be many uncharted radiation sources.

Yep, came here to say the same thing. I've used this to expose projects with https where I need a stable url (to do something like Apple Pay domain verification). It worked perfectly for me. I just have 2 tunnels setup "local.mydomain.com" and "api.local.mydomain.com" that map to the 2 ports I use for those things. It make development that needs https (various browser features) and sharing with others much easier. Localhost can normally bypass these restrictions but sometimes I need to test on an iPhone/iPad/Android and that's where cloudflare tunnels really shine for me.
