I'm responding to parent saying it's not an actual problem:

Apple doesn't seem able to "produce a receipt" if you purchased the MacBook with cash or a discontinued credit card in their store.

I have a lovely pristine 2019 MacBook Pro 16" that I put firmware password on before crossing international borders, before pandemic. The Ventura update broke boot. I have to boot to recovery partition, but cannot. No idea what "this is obvious" firmware pass I came up with.

THIS IS MY FAULT. But a surprisingly expensive fault…

I have the original welcome to new Mac on your Apple ID email a couple days after purchase, the Mac is active in my Find My, the Mac is under AppleCare to me which I have. Apple will not unlock it without receipt, which I do not have, and, no longer having an account with that card provider, cannot produce.

This 2019 MacBook Pro sells used for $4,689 from Apple today:

https://www.apple.com/shop/product/G14X6LL/A/refurbished-16-...

So for me, it's an issue.

// At the same time, this is a reason we provide MacBook Pros to employees: we can take comfort losing one in NYC or Mumbai probably isn't going to compromise company data. This is worth the cost to me personally, and makes me an advocate of Apple's security work.
Sorry if my english did cause problem in the second, clarifier paragraph.

Under support I mean "it works well", and not "try it, if you are lucky, it may work".

If you are not using a school example like print the first 10 fibonacci with recursion, you will get a stackoverflow error. By support now I mean, the language not only allows, but encourages the readable, original form of an algorithm.

There's not, though. There's a ton of evidence that vitamin d _correlates_ with COVID outcomes, but this is vitamin d's superpower: it correlates with good outcomes for just about everything, but nearly every time there's a good high quality study, it turns out to not be causative. A bunch of those vitamin d and COVID studies were fraudulent.

Vitamin d levels are an excellent marker of good health and they can help predict outcomes but supplementing vitamin d doesn't improve those outcomes. Regretfully. (Except rickets, of course.)

Pretty sure the only score Jimi ever referred to was scoring some weed.

My point is that performances are as valid an input to music production as anything else.

And that these generative snippets are potentially a source of ‘performances’ that producers will tap in creative and interesting ways.
I agree that WFH is good for families, but as soon as politicians and commentators start saying it out loud it'll be used to justify hiring discrimination against hiring parents because they'll have divided focus.
Less security (a small-time attacker isn't going to break the encryption) and more reduction/prevention of theft. These Macs end up in recycling centers because thieves know they'll get banned/a strike from eBay if they sell an activation locked device to a customer and that customer complains to the site, so the recycling centers end up being the ones trying to resell/reuse the devices only when most of the ones they get are from thieves (or, as it turns out, IT departments that don't disassociate MDM).
Every so often I try to use OsmAnd again for navigation. It's... sufficient for most things. But I can't understand why it still fails at a basic address search. Why can't I just copy-paste an address into the search bar? I'm not going to individually search the state and then the city and then try to figure out what's the base road and then estimate where on the road whatever number it is. That should all happen automatically
I have never gottem good support from Oracle and never been able to blame them, sure only 5k licenses but when we do have problem they are of no help whats so ever.

"Every User Immediately"? This is not at all my experience. Perhaps with younger users

I agree.

I put a hamburger menu in an in-house tool I built last year. Everyone in that department is between 22 and 30, with one guy over 50. I always stand with the users when my new products are deployed, so I was in the room when nobody recognized what the hamburger menu was.

I ended up changing it to the word "Menu" and everyone was happy.

I think it's becoming even more confusing now that Google is pushing the ⋮ vertical ellipsis as a hamburger replacement. The last thing the web needs is inconsistent icons.
I know it was originally invented way back when (in Xerox Parc?), but it did not become 'de facto' on small screens decades ago, that's just a mangling of perspective.

I don't recollect ever having seen it on any of the 'small screens' (ie LCDs, etc) I used prior to smartphones.
USSR was using tubes because it was technologically far behind the West (it was still producing cars that were between 30 to even 50 years behind the West) and was under heavy sanctions. Soviet bloc made chips were actually less reliable and that's one of reasons why commie bloc TTL based computers were so unstable as they had either to import components from the West (see story of Karpiński and his K-202 architecture) if they wanted components that they were allowed to order them in the 1st place or smuggle them (which would not work for large scale) or use inferior in quality components produced within the bloc. Vacuum tubes were much harder to fuck up while production – hence more reliable than commie bloc TTL or LSI. How do I know? I am from one of countries that been in that bloc.
> I agree that it's worse than email but for different reasons. I've found that when writing an email, people will put more time and effort into giving a complete picture in the initial email. In Slack/Teams, people give very brief descriptions that you have to ask half a dozen questions in chat or call them to figure out what they actually mean.

Yeah, that's a major component of what I was talking about, which you called out more clearly than I did. With email, people tend to compose standalone artifacts that convey a more complete idea, but chat messages are just fragments. Maybe if they were properly organized you understand the conversation later, but the fragments are interrupted by other stuff so it's too hard to even piece together the whole conversation without missing something important.
I'd love to hear that story :D
The result of a Heroku build pack is also a Docker image. The switching of base layers is a feature of the docker image design, though not normally used by normal docker users.
Grabby abusive employers will likely hate this and downvote...But, while I don't have any experience with separate NDAs, never given nor received (they've always been baked into contracts and never presented a problem, were always scoped and not grabby), yet back in the day I turned down over USD 250K in multiple contracts that had funky "grabby vague IP provisions", or "grabby excessive non-compete provisions" when I was contracting and the contracts related to side-projects. Probably doesn't sound like much, but it was a lot for global remote at the time.

Well, it all worked out well. The personal projects I was working on and protecting paid beyond that now...!! Hahah.
What do you mean with "process data efficiently"? You speak about performance? But the main goal of the design of Erlang is fault tolerance, not performance. You can still use queues or whatever in Erlang if you want, but having a fault-tolerant system with process tree and process supervision in other languages is a different story.
I think you need to add screenshots and pricing info on your page.

We've deployed with Capistrano to Ubuntu hosts for wow... 13 years now? It works super well, but our DevOps folks want to move to a push button approach within GitLab (rather than me typing one easy command, but hey).

I'm super stoked about the included Docker config and all the blog posts it will shortly inspire. Finding best-practices for Docker based deployments has been anything but fun. I'm still not sure how we'll implement the equivalent of `cap production deploy:rollback` and the like with Docker. Not that we use that basically ever, but knowing it's available is great.
I know less about GOOL, but the following seems to imply that GOOL was probably also a s-expr based non-Lisp language:

> As a language GOOL borrows its syntax and basic forms from Common Lisp. It has all of Lisp’s basic expression, arithmetic, bookkeeping, and flow of control operators.

Note that Andy explicitly only mentions things like syntax and arithmetic, but not any kind of list processing. Again, I am not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if GOOL isn't a Lisp either, but only a Lisp-flavoured DSL for event-based AI code.
OsmAnd is my killer app on Android. And it did very nearly kill me when I droped my phone halfway through a multiday bushwacking hike and lost it as my only map XD
How are they supposed to produce the receipt? You’re supposed to have it. They gave it to your hand or send it to you over email.
Because GP uses “unlock your device” (ambiguous) immediately adjacent to “also unlock your accounts on other services” (unambiguously about accessing your data).
This is literally trained on and is processing at the level of the audio bitstream. So, getting it to 'spit out midi' would be no different than the current task of taking a full, mixed audio track and generating MIDI from it (which isn't easy). This is using a transformer architecture directly on tokenization of .wav audio. There is no underlaying stage of 'instrumentation' like a MIDI track is before it gets synthesized into an audio stream.

> Intel needs a new strategy as coherent as the old one

you are assuming such as strategy exists. The future need not look like the past. In fact on pretty much all counts (geopolitics, sustainability, commoditization) the future seems to be branching unpredictably
I still remember the NPR interviews with SF police, district attorneys, etc.

It was a massive campaign by New York City, SF, and other officials in the media to say Apple was not doing enough about theft and it was causing petty and violent crime.

> Traditional disk encryption serves your protection perfectly well.

Exactly. I don't need Apple to protect me from thieves, I need the computer that I bought to protect my information.
Wouldn't be shocked at all, I mostly think of it as "Linux but with a bunch of inherent security separations introduced", which is why I thought it might be what the...grandparent at this point? is using.

I would note that a legal way to get a laptop is to have it given to you. Not every transaction that transfers ownership entails a receipt from a corporation or even the exchange of money.
They ask you for an email address when you buy a high ticket price product (which, let's face it, is basically all products).

I understand you're upset, but sadly I have to say to you that this is working as intended.

1) You bought a machine and can't prove it.

2) You enabled authentication which you lost

3) You also lost your backup to the account

How can they help you? How can anyone help you?

You've made it nearly impossible to distinguish yourself from a thief or random stranger.
Are you suggesting their system did not record the sale? I agree that OP should have the receipt but I'm quite sure Apple has the data for that sale somewhere.
That's like literally searching for a rice corn in a giant haystack. The only way I can see that search to remotely have a chance is an equally giant swarm of drones with radiation detectors.
I've had the same frustration. I don't know too much about OSM so I might be completely off but I think it has something to do with address ranges being specified but individual addresses not being assigned shapes.

Oh wow, it seems to have very nice rendering for MTB tracks. I need to try that out. I had a go at adding lots of local MTB tracks as routes in OSM, so I have lots to try it out on!
It's worth noting that jerf implemented process trees including restarting services in golang - so I'm curious in what way he means that we don't need Erlang's restart capability when he added it to his own library.
In this case it seems like Apple has more than enough information to verify that Terretta is the valid owner of this computer, and so they should unlock it. Whether this goes via "reissue the receipt, then unlock it" or just "unlock it" isn't important.
But one of those fads was Erlang, and it intrigued me so much, that I ended up printing Mr Armstrong's thesis, stuck it in a manila folder, and read it

I am now inspired to do the same, thank you!
You should sign what your trusted legal representation recommends you sign. Many of these situations are more nuanced than an internet blogger looking for clicks is going to make them out to be.

And yes, if you're making a 6-7 figure decision (which you often are when you sign an employment agreement as a software engineer), you should at least have an employment attorney give it a look through.
On Creating a Comprehensive Food Database
Isn't this just a case of "buyer beware" for the recycler? If the machines haven't been properly erased so that they can have ownership transferred then the recyclers should refuse to accept them.

On the other hand, if the original owners want the machines actually destroyed and not resold then I don't see the problem here.

You'd think with modern code analysis a good look at the binary would give some insight into what is going on.
It's hard not to be at least somewhat specialized as a very senior person.

If you're an embedded systems programmer, maybe you can hack on some Javascript but no one is probably going to pay you very senior comp to do junior programmer work.

It is certainly true you don't want to be too specialized in general. You didn't want to be the Y2K guru in 2001 or the world's expert in performance optimization for some specific computer architecture that isn't manufactured any longer.

When I took my current job, there were probably a few companies in the general area that would have been somewhat obvious potential matches. But it was sheer coincidence that the one I connected with first through a connection happened to be the closest major tech company to my house.

> Screen reader users do not need to open or close menus.

Agreed, but you don’t want keyboard accessible menu items available for users that aren’t visually impaired. Offering a “show menu” button to screen readers is not less accessible to them than skipping the navigation section.

If you’re building a page that is only meant to be used by screen readers, then you are absolutely right.

> Meanwhile, non screen reader users are forced to guess what will be behind the ≡ button this time.

The main menu? Which is behind the same ≡ button on most pages on the internet?
There are a lot of use cases where I definitely don't mind AI-generated text. Keyword-focused search results, for instance.

If I'm Googling "what is npm" or "what are the five highest mountains in the world", I don't care one bit if the answer is from a human or a machine.
This is something I like to bring up to programmers/designers in context of application security. And that is any assumptions on how the user is going to use said program you come up with will be broken. If you say "No one will do ______" you will likely be incorrect.
I presume you're being down-voted for the use of the word "nipple," by people who don't know that this is an axiom that has been used in the design industry for a very long time.
Encore: Zero your back end burdens and get cloud environments directly frm code
So I've peeked somewhat more into the "groundology rabbit hole" and they seem to be claiming that a non-grounded (with respect to earth) state interferes with bioelectrical fields inside the body.

E.g. this paper https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/acm.2011.0820 (sponsored by Earth FX, Palm Spring, CA whose CEO Clint Ober peddles earthing products *wink*) claims that earthing reduces blood viscosity by increasing the "zeta potential" (outside of my specialty, but I read it as being proportional to intercellular repulsive force) of red blood cells. But surely this can't work because when increasing the "base charge" of the body, then the charges of all its constituents should move with it and the charge differences between cells (and the energy required to keep them up) should stay the same, right?

> You won't be able "to run around charged for weeks"

The "running around" part is unfortunately worded. Assume we would ensure this experimentally by keeping the subject insulated and/or recharging regularly (could be mice in a cage too, I guess).

If the anti-systemd weenies wanted to be reactionary edge lords and return to the status quo, then they should have said something when it would have made a difference during the ill-fated transition from the simple BSD init system to the steaming pile of shit AT&T System V init system that they only think is "classic" because their first experience with Unix was Linux.

It's like saying Nickelback's "Woke Up This Morning" is Classic Rock because you never heard of the Rolling Stones "Start Me Up".

Typed Python code on average takes two times the time to develop and contains two times the number of bugs per delivered software feature.

It's bad, really really bad.

Refactoring can be done just as well via a good IDE and unit testing.

Using typechecking creates far more errors then it finds. They are a necessary evil in compiled languages. It's been measured that it creates more errors. That is not open for debate.
Disable "Find My" in iCloud settings and it works as normal.

You will likely get a little bit of Herd Immunity because Apple devices are known to be miserable to steal.

But otherwise it will work as you expect, just add some Filevault for FDE.

If you're advocating to remove these features for the rest of us, then as an Apple user: no thanks.
I am suggesting that if I bring a laptop and ask them to produce a receipt of its purchase it’d not prove that I purchased the laptop. Anyone could do it and then use that receipt to say they bought it in the first place.
Good advice. Same with Canada.
They've been doing a very good job at it as well. The developments that have and are going into Java in the past few years have been quite great. From projects like Amber, Loom, Valhalla, GraalVM, Lilliput, Panama, and more!
This is misguided neutrality, I think. At some point even HN would need to pick a side.
> C# has gotten too complex as a language, with so many features.

I really wouldn't say so. All the new features are convenient and easy to understand, especially if you have Visual Studio to teach them to you (type if (x == null) x = new .. and you get a popup to transform it into the new operator). It's not a zoo like C++.
