idk., but for software-development - in my case mostly good-old java - i would vote for an amd64 (desktop) PC every single time

just for example ... during one of my last years project i got a newish macbook - m1 max 32 gb ram:

* really annoying to setup - aarch64 / apple stupidities & for a linux-guy the "uncanny valley" which is the darwin cli + homebrew ... using some bash 3.x, from 2007 or 08 (!)

* my age-old amd 2400g apu / quad-core with 32 gb ram from 2018 was twice (!) as fast in compiling a decent-sized java-application on command-line with maven ... (in the ballpark of 2 to 3 minutes (amd64) vs 5 to 6 and up to nearly 7 minutes (m1))

(apples supplied ssd vs a samsung 970 evo 1 tb nvme ssd in a cheaper asrock b450 mainboard / pcie 3.0 ... current os X vs. current debian/bullseye :)

price comparison: what the overpriced apple macbook costs vs. a few 100 euros from your next pc-component dealer down the street ...
If you're using "strategies" then you're already not genuine, thus not trustworthy, imo.

Um... The manoeuvres are identical in terms of geometry. Only direction changes. The only question is, do you want to be going forwards or backwards at various points. So it cannot be wider one way or the other.

I didn't try the first cocktail, just the second, but my first attempt at making it was a little sweeter than I wanted. I picked up fresh supplies, yesterday, including some sake, so will be trying that soon to see how it ends up.

I will note that the sweetness level is entirely personal, I don't tend to like to eat/drink overly sweet things.
When people search for something, the likely outcome is that either they find it or, not finding it, they accept that it cannot be found, or they continue to search. So also in the case of what is sought in philosophy, I think, some people have claimed to have found the truth, others have asserted that it cannot be apprehended, and others are still searching. Those who think that they have found it are the Dogmatists, properly so called-for example, the followers of Aristotle and Epicurus, the Stoics, and certain others. The followers of Cleitomachus and Carneades, as well as other Academics, have asserted that it cannot be apprehended. The Skeptics continue to search.

That's a little unfair. The problem is more that families sharing airtags don't have a good option to trust eachothers tags.
> My AirTags keep notifying me that I've left stuff behind and that it was last seen at my home address.

After the 2nd or 3rd time this happened to me, the notification had an option to turn on like a "okay location" or however they phrased it. This stops that from happening when you lave it at a known/home address. That worked for me. You may have missed it?
I won't play any iOS game with either ads or with a "free but micro-transaction model." If you look in the pay up front category on the app store, there are very very few games. It's too bad.
It's not even correct, the PlayStation division is Sony Interactive Entertainment, SIE. Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) was the EverQuest developer. They were sold off years ago and are now known as Daybreak.
> I believe the opposite position (that all discrimination against all people based on race is racism) is the underhanded approach

Your position is racist and perpetuates racism.
That's a shame, one of the first great UX for mobile games. Nothing until that release quite matched the feeling of pulling a slingshot.
I know someone with an active infection right now. Also a decently well known podcaster in the Apple space had it in the last week or so. It still exists, but no one tests and everyone's over it. You're right about wanting data, but don't hold your breath for it, and it's still definitely going around.
If it's "too popular" why would you not just increase the price to like $10? It shouldn't which way you make money, as long as you make money.
Oh boy, this is true and unfortunately this has been the result of over-delegation that rose in prominence over some, give or take, +-70 years.

And I don't mean effective communication but specifically:

> the focus on communication OVER skills, capabilities, and curiosity

There was, are , and will be a lot of folks who get overlooked because of this and that sucks.
But communication has, is, and will be a very important part of life and people. I guess the lesson in this is, if you are lacking in your communication don't handicap yourself unintentionally.
Why would the AirTag owner need to be involved? If I say that I trust a specific AirTag then it shouldn't matter what the owner thinks.
It's business. They aren't going to lose goodwill for selling their product to the highest bidder unless they are reneging on contracts or something crazy like that.
Interesting. My background is actually Electrical and Computer Engineering. However, I technically have a CS degree in there, so I can do _some_ programming (been a while since any _real_ programming).

My work-background is basically all IT work. I spent a few years as a manager of an IT team, but apart from that, Linux server builds, automation, standing up services, planning and building small data centers (e.g. less than 100 racks), networking, virtualization, scripting. I have built a few openstack on prem clouds with 5-7 servers (manually). Getting specs on and building out desktops, workstations, GPU boxes.I have a pretty good amount of experience with on-prem wiring, worked for an electrician at one point, so I know theory/hands on, which helps a lot in the data center. Eh, that is about it, really.
Yes - it would make sense for them to be optionally, per-device, pooled in Family Sharing in my opinion.
The disable isn't a disable of notifications. It disables the airtag from reporting its status as an anti-stalking measure. So it wouldn't work for anyone.
It's a standard library function meaning the compiler can assume that it follows the standard. Specifically for GCC [0]:

> The ISO C90 functions abort, abs, acos, asin, atan2, atan, calloc, ceil, cosh, cos, exit, exp, fabs, floor, fmod, fprintf, fputs, free, frexp, fscanf, isalnum, isalpha, iscntrl, isdigit, isgraph, islower, isprint, ispunct, isspace, isupper, isxdigit, tolower, toupper, labs, ldexp, log10, log, malloc, memchr, memcmp, memcpy, memset, modf, pow, printf, putchar, puts, realloc, scanf, sinh, sin, snprintf, sprintf, sqrt, sscanf, strcat, strchr, strcmp, strcpy, strcspn, strlen, strncat, strncmp, strncpy, strpbrk, strrchr, strspn, strstr, tanh, tan, vfprintf, vprintf and vsprintf are all recognized as built-in functions unless -fno-builtin is specified (or -fno-builtin-function is specified for an individual function).

Builtin here doesn't mean that GCC won't ever emit calls to library functions, only that it reserves not to and allows itselfs to make assumptions about how the functions work, including diagnosing misuse.

The library functions themselves might also be marked with __attribute__(format(...)) as the sibling comment notes but that is not necessarily required for GCC to check the format strings.

Museums aren't a "top 100 most popular" display. They have curators, who can use pretty much any method conceivable of selecting what to display.

Just like the rest of the world, artists have their own community, in-jokes, memes and contentious people.

It's very possible that a whole bunch of stuff is on display because the author is the curator's friend, or the curator thinks it makes some particularly good point, or even because the curator decided to troll people a little.
Several big issues with swap stations:

- charging allows for parallel charging while a swap station would allow for 1 vehicle to be swapped, so you could have a line of cars waiting to swap that would take just long or longer than charging

- swap stations need full size battery packs that could otherwise be used to sell another BEV

- battery degradation would upset folks who had a battery with 100% range only to be swapped for a used battery with 80% range

- unless they carry different form factor battery packs, they are limiting their vehicles to same size packs basically forever, so forget about larger packs or smaller packs depending on vehicle size
I admit it is a bit combative, but his response took absolutely zero responsibility and expressed zero concern for what is in my mind a huge and inexcusable security oversight. Countering an acting apologist for a de facto monopolist corporation is also needed, or else we end up with complacency and rot.
My understanding from the company I Work with who have changed there process based on feedback, the issue is that different people want different things from it.

Some people want it straight, do this and get this, but we have gone to a way more mild approach where it's no longer an 'annual review' but more a 'wellbeing meeting' because some people didn't like the format and felt that they didn't want to sit and listen to being critised and that the metrics were unfair or not applicable to them.

So now what we have is much worse, last year, 30% of the team got a pay rise as is company policy, however we do not know how this was dedicated and most of us have barely spoken to those that do as our direct line manager was not involved in the decision.

Personally I hate them, I just want to be left alone.
The on-GPU culling and LOD selection looks nice, congrats! I'm curious, are there any native-only wgpu features that you're especially interested in having web support for?
Which isn't wrong. As humans are the product of evolution, humans changing habitats is just natural change.
As I understand it Nix can do hermeticity on a project level, but not on a build step level like you would need for actual development. So it's good for building OSes. Not for building software products.
> What's the point of listening to 3 books per day? You need time to digest the ideas in a book.

Agreed, but sometimes there's value in having broad exposure ASAP.

e.g. learning what tools/techniques are available in a given discipline

e.g. learning enough jargon to Google for deeper exposure

This can be helpful in cross-disciplinary contexts. Perhaps you don't need to truly understand Statistics, for instance, but you're working on a problem in which you've binned a matrix of values into deck-of-card-like suits and you want to evaluate how "good" each choice was within its local context. It would help to know terms like "categorical variables" and "goodness of fit".

I want my ps2 keyboard port back
At a guess: AirTags (and all Apple devices) get their location from nearby iPhones. If nearby passengers turn on Airplane Mode before departure, their phones stick to being located at the departure airport. When they land and turn off Airplane mode, there’s a short window where they broadcast their “current” location (the departure airport) before getting a new GPS signal. That’s what your M1 is picking up when you land.
I think that's an overly cynical view. While employees exist ultimately to serve the company's goal, good companies will also work to support the employee's goals in return (e.g. time away from work, time to develop skills, general happiness, etc.).
By definition, the AI cannot and will never generate the exact same words as the PR person themselves. The community wanted the university spokesperson to respond. They did not, they outsourced the job.

And you might say "what's the difference???" and what you have to realize is, this is entirely emotional and that is the point. The community wants real empathy. They do not believe they are getting it, and you can't logic your way out of that.
Your post has it all in just two sentences: Maximum cynicism, "kids these days", "movies these days", randomly bringing up MTV, whinging about attention span, bringing up dopamine.

Really .. can you at least try to not be so cynical about the present? Everybody's walking around with a star trek device in their pocket that has all of the world's knowledge, can remote call anyone on earth, and can translate any language into any other.

Oh yes, and some movies suck. I bet if you look at the past few years of releases you'll find some you like, too.
This has nothing to do with the 737, it's ground software for calculating weight distribution. It happens that Alaska's fleet is mostly 737s
Awesome, but I just filed #28 (https://github.com/Kanaries/pygwalker/issues/28) because it makes it a trifle hard to do timeseries visualizations with relatively high res data.
Thanks for posting a rebuttal to a survey.

Do you have a better source of data or survey results on caste based discrimination?
> They were already a publicly traded corporation. Their interests have never been aligned with yours fundamentally, they've been aligned with a fiduciary duty to make profit for shareholders. Literally nothing about the profit motive has changed.

This is a trope that needs to stop. Public companies are not alike and the fiduciary duty is only a very high level one that can be used to justify both squeezing every customer as much as possible to losing money to support growth.

What the shareholders want matters and an acquisition changes that completely.
Apple doesn't want TSMC. Semi fabrication is a high risk business whose leader can change at any time. They want the freedom to chase that. They can keep those newest chips out of competitors hands by buying out capacity anyway.
Apple's market cap is 2.333T.
I think it's exactly the sort of thing an institution might do and it would probably pass without much remark, because people don't actually expect better from office flunkies in PR or HR who are personally detached from the whole situation.

This Valentine's Day my (very corporate) landlord paid somebody to hang a little bag containing confetti, a small twix candy bar and a mechanical pencil on my door. What am I, in third grade? Totally tone deaf, but what can I really expect from a soulless corporation?
On Cybernetically Enhancing Creative Output
The thing is, the daily standup is the reason why your board isn't up to date. People don't bother being strict about it because every single day they can just mention that they need to update it yet and it's okay because that's why we have standup- so only the select people who attend get the real status of things.
I think we should really call out Apple and Google for mismanagement here. Imagine if there was the option to play a game for an hour as a free trial, and then buy the game instead of having to plunk down $4.99 sight-unseen - or having your game in the Free category with the microtransaction shovelware around it.

If I'm the developer who wants users to have any semblance of try-before-you-buy, the free category (with an IAP for "Premium") is the only option. Which is a real shame.
Didn't BetterPlace try to do battery swap and failed?

Welcome to the USA; everything just gets cheaper (in quality), shinier, and more extractive.
One detail: V1 is the last-chance speed for being able to abort the takeoff within the remaining runway length, but it is predicated on the weight, among other things, being correct. If the airplane is heavier than the figure used in calculating it, you will not be able to stop in time from V1 (you will reach it later and further down the runway, yet need more distance to stop.)

Having said that, a speed-at-distance rule like the one you give here, especially if it was evaluated at a distance before you expect to reach V1, would be perfectly good. There is a rule-of-thumb for small-plane pilots saying you should have reached 80% of the rotation speed before you are halfway down the runway (though that speed is also weight-dependent - as demonstrated in these incidents.) There is a tacit assumption here that your deceleration after choosing to abort will exceed your acceleration up to that point.
At what point does this become a monopoly issue?

Sure others could have outbid hypothetically so it is on paper fair but Apple has a lot of cash.
Imagine how popular the M3 and friends would be if people could buy it off Newegg/Amazon and use an operating system of their choice?
To an outside observer it would look like you were torn apart by tidal forces, but would it feel that way to you? Or would you feel normal? If it's just space being curved, would you feel nothing just like you feel nothing in freefall? I'm sure this question is wrong...
I’m consistently surprised just how good the RX580 really is. It can handle most games on medium at 1440p, but I tend to just chill on ultra at 1080p. Plus I play on TV, so the smaller resolution is actually better from where I’m sitting
Anyone remember Tap Tap Revenge? Another game that was delisted a long time ago after a period of great popularity (15 million downloads in that game series, per Wikipedia).
People wanted to be entertainment idols in the 80's too. They just called them movie stars. YouTube and Instagram are just different media services, and at the "millions of followers" levels they do pay enough that you don't have to hold a traditional job.
Yes, but it but humans have been afraid that machines would replace them since long before Frank Herbert wrote about it. For example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite
Can you expand on what you mean by:

>Now I'm 3 years out of school, unable to attend college, I've unfortunately strayed from my path and I'm failing to find my way back to it.

What is your path? Programming? Why can't you get back to it? Just open an IDE and write some code. Or do you not want to write code for money?
I expected to read that and find Holiday to be some kind of terrible human but I came out of it with an appreciation of what he was doing, despite the author’s clear intent to paint him in a bad light.
> The disable isn't a disable of notifications. It disables the airtag from reporting its status as an anti-stalking measure. So it wouldn't work for anyone.

OHHHH okay, that makes more sense. That was the part of the puzzle that was confusing me. Thanks!
Is there any reason to believe that air tags actually enables or encourages otherwise non-stalkers into stalking? I'm not really inclined to believe so. Stalking isn't difficult or technically challenging thing to do. If you can get the chip on them then you can just follow them home and know where they live. Then you can stalk them whenever you want. The airtag maybe makes it more convenient but I don't think convenience is what dissuades non-stalkers. I can see more insecure people tracking their partner but there's already many other ways to do so. I don't really think this is an issue.
In what world should strep throat cost less than $50.

1. You interact with a receptionist. They use commercial software to track your visit, find an appropriate medical professional for your condition, and fit you into a schedule/queue.

2. You see a medical professional, often a nurse, that checks your vitals and updates your chart. This professional will often take a swab of the infected area.

3. The swab is sent to a lab, where medical grade equipment and a trained technician analysis the sample.

4. You see a medical professional with the prescription pad. Usually an MD or NP. They are responsible for the diagnosis. Strep infection could be a symptom of a larger problem. People without a bacterial infection need to be treated, but shouldn't be given antibiotics. This professional needs to carefully listen to the patient and clearly explain their condition, and what to expect from treatment.

5. You see clerk at checkout. Your entire bill is reviewed by your insurance company.

6. You see a pharmacy tech, a pharmacist oversees your prescription being filled, a medical grade product is provided. Lots of liability at this step. Lots of security and shrinkage concerns for the business.

Keep in mind that throughout this entire process staff is held to higher education, background, and training standards than the general population, all software is built for HIPPA and costs more than standard enterprise software, all equipment is built to a very high standard, all offices are more sanitary than average businesses, and many of the trades are seeing long term labor shortages. Throughout the process you'll probably take an hour of professional time.
Every time someone says 'economics says' 1000 economists thrash and writhe in unison. It's the only thing they agree on.
And somehow this algorithm is not isolated by plane!? That’s quite literally insane - why would it not be a pure function…
I wonder if there's a baseline for cynical comments about application performance?

Because it sure seems like this exact comment is a tinnitus-like constant ringing noise amongst the tech community.
> However, it's not the taskrunner that I want.

Could you elaborate a bit on what you mean here? Is this saying Turborepo's task runner is flawed in some way?
Each extinction eliminates a species yes, but long term it opens up a niche for a new species to evolve into. As a biologist I don’t see any fundamental problem with this ebb and flow. We as a species haven’t exactly put down our foot on actual individual suffering so it just seems hypocritical to ascertain extra value to extinction, which outside of some vague concepts we have made up have no real ecological relevance anyway.
Older movies are full of filler too, but it's generally less exciting filler - looooong shots of a car driving through the countryside or plot beats that could be 1 minute stretching to 10 without having any reason to be as long as they are. Over time movies have learned to cut a lot of fat.
I switched back to tile because of this and haven’t regretted it.
Still on the Apple App Store? I was so happy to find it on there a while back. Was surprised it was so cheap, though—I barely game at all on my phone, but would have paid quite a bit more than what they were charging for that game.

Guess there's little hope of their re-releasing Seasons, then? That's the only other one I'd pay money for (or, indeed, even play for free).
More than a dozen years ago. Perhaps things / technology have changed enough?
As an Indian, coming from a lower caste family, this makes me happy. India already banned caste discrimination years ago and it had a positive impact on marginalized communities. The next step might be to follow something akin to caste-reservations that we have in India, to level the playing field for communities that have been marginalized for centuries. Advocating for more lower-caste Indian representation in private companies can be a good start. It can be a part of DEI initiatives that we have seen so many companies embrace.

Overall, this is a positive development. But we still have a long way to go!
I wish there were equivalent books to Zero 2 Production for other ecosystems. I'm working on a project with Sveltekit project right now, and a major frustration for me is the proliferation of choices that come from working in the TS/JS ecosystem. While those choices exist in Rust too, the Zero 2 Prod book at least presents a pathway where reasonable defaults are presented for everything from tracing to ORM and I don't have to review a million and one different options and figure out how to make them work. JS build systems are nightmarish to me and Python is only slightly less bad.

Edit to add: if there are recommendations for TS/JS front-end development, I'd love to see them.
> Are you surprised you disagree with someone on the nature of art?

I think we both agree here that the obvious answer to this question is "no", and that's the correct answer... is there some specific point you're trying to make?
Wrong. Scientists trying to get funding for projects exploring things like the impact of sun radiations on earth climate, have a very hard time because of the political rules that are enforced in terms of what's allowed to be looked at and what's not.
