I'm not entirely convinced by that. The author establishes that water sources exist, which is obviously true because you can't brew without it. But water is heavy, and hard to store. If you've gone to the trouble to fetch and move a couple gallons of water, you might reasonably prefer to inoculate it with yeast rather than whatever happens to take off in your barrel.
Go also have standardized HTTP handlers, and a standardized io.Writer interface for writing to anything, like a file, buffer or a HTTP reply.

And fair use is the main exemption to copyright, and that was decided here.
The app appears to be region locked, at least from the UK.

Biggest red flag is the part about Tim Cook being disengaged.

But I'm much more bullish than most of the commenters here. Many seem to not have shifted their understanding of progress in VR/AR in the last 5 years, when there have been fundamental tech advances. Then, others don't seem to understand how much Apple is planning to push the state of the art here. Their headset will have roughly double the resolution of existing devices, and contain not one but two, laptop level mobile chips. The lenses / optics are going to solve a lot of issues people have had, the pass through quality is going to be near photo-realistic - you won't feel you need to take these off at all. Some of the apps we know about include photo-realistic video conferencing with quality that is unheard of outside of laboratory conditions before.
Undriveable isn't bad though. We don't really get any value from driving for everyday trips over walking/biking/transit. And any decent walkable designs don't prohibit necessary driving such as delivery and emergency services, so they're not truly undriveable. It is a competition, but dying from cancer is also a form of competition. We don't always have to give both sides equal standing.
I can save you the effort, it's not happening. This would be a monumental national security concern for non-US states, not even considering the technical limitations that exist for storing or utilizing literally millions of audio samples a minute.

People are incredibly predictable using only a handful of demographics, there's simply no need to invest the astronomical amount that would be necessary to process these conversations when there's already many simple ways to track/generate user interest.
Not the one I know.
Presenting it as a zero-sum game is part of the problem! It doesn't have to be cars or bikes or trains.

You could take from the hotel tax to pay for trains, or build bike paths that go alongside or orthogonal to roads.

If you go to people and say "cars or trains, pick one" of course cars will win every single time. You want to say "here's a solution to a problem that doesn't make your life worse". Which is why many of the newest suburbs and developments have the best bike/walking options - they're being considered from the start.
That was the model in the past, yeah. Is there something wrong with it?

Expecting lifetime updates with your lifetime license seems weird to me. That‘s not a realistic expectation.
I spend so much of my time intentionally trying to cultivate community. In some respects, it is the over-arching theme of my adult life. I find community is very hard to come by so if I have to be the one to make it, so be it. I pay a pretty penny to be a member of a coworking space so I don't spend my workday alone. Three times per week I go to regularly-scheduled events (a game night, running club, and roller-skating night). I'm every week I try to coordinate events between friends that I have made through these groups. I've learned to be an even planner, match maker, (second rate) therapist, baby sitter, and referee. I definitely spend more mental cycles on my friends than I do on work.

The amount of work that I needed to put in was enormous. It was hard and scary at first. I was a wall-flower. Inviting people I don't know well to do something fun is not a skill that I was born with (quite the opposite). But with all this effort put in, I am finding that after multiple years of effort the value is starting to really pay dividends.

I guess the over-all point that I am making is that the American Dream is that you can live how you want, so if you want community, make that your Dream and go do it. Looking back, I really feel like I am an entrepreneur of friendship, and I think that at the end of my life I am not going to regret it.
From the information available so far, the Apple headset will be fairly close to Meta's Oculus Quest in terms of hardware: Portable and with external cameras to allow for orientation and "mixed reality".

Maybe Apple is on the right track here, since the Oculus Quest has sold more units than all the other VR headsets combined. But there is one big difference: Apple's headset will be a very expensive premium product (apparently around 3000 USD), while the Oculus Quest costs just 400 USD.

I think consumers just don't want to spend a lot of money on VR. Except for the Quest, they are all far too expensive, and that's why they didn't sell. Apple just makes the problem worse by increasing the price even more.

John Carmack has made the same point repeatedly: VR is not a high price product category. If he is right, the Apple headset will fail. It may be more feasible to sell $3000 smartphones than to sell VR headsets at this price.
For those who live in such cities (and not just visit), everything they want to do is a 3-15 minute walk, not a drive. You can get groceries, stop at a cafe, go to a doctor's appointment, and pick up your kids from school (or better yet, they can walk themselves, because their school is nearby and getting killed by speeding SUVs is not a concern) - all within a 15 minute radius. If the walk is truly too far, a metro stop is often nearby.

Living in such places is eye-opening!
How do you figure only a 1000? I am a couple years older than you and I would ballpark a few hundred thousand at least.
Exactly what they did with the Pixelmator > Pixelmator Pro switcharoo trick.

I wouldn’t have minded as much if they hadn’t taken every single complaint about Pixelmator and made it a feature on the new product instead of a fix in the old one.

Makes me steer people to Affinity every chance I get.
I'm not very knowledgeable in this area as I don't do much shell scripting, but isn't zsh supposed to be some kind of enhancement over bash? Does it suffer from the same issues?

Regardless, the idea of a language that transpiles to bash is kinda interesting.
No it doesn't.

The American dream has always been about bringing the family unit up with you as you ascend, because for most of this nation's history, it was impossible to achieve any real success without the help of family members around the home.
I think you might have committed a straw man error. My point is not that approximate or vague language is always good, it's that it's sometimes good. Sometimes imprecise communication is good and useful, sometimes it's doublespeak.

I have both Pixelmator and Pixelmator Pro.

I've been revisiting old games I wrote 35 year ago (rewriting them with modern API) and it is the lowly Pixelmator that I have been using near daily. (In fact was just using it this morning.)

Besides occasionally foregrounding its palette windows when it is in the background, I find it fully capable for pixel-editing.
How dare you! /sarcasm

I remember finding an unmaintained Gentoo box in a corporate environment at a client's server room. It hadn't been updated for an indeterminate period of time and was running normally. However, it was a security risk so I decided to try to update it.

On Ubuntu? This would be relatively simple (this was circa 2008~2009 or so, with the box being 2 or 3 years old). On Gentoo? Impossible. Everything I tried ended up with random errors, and googling them led to more and more complexity. I just wanted to update stuff related to security, and nothing worked.

I eventually gave up and moved the app to CentOS (IIRC) and got rid of the Gentoo box. I also found RPM more irritating than APT, but much better than Gentoo.

I see a lot of pearl clutching about mainstream distros like Ubuntu and a lot of unguarded praise of distros like Gentoo, Arch or whatever. However, every single time, I remember that incident. Gentoo at home? Sure, if it works for you, do it. In a work environment? Not unless you pledge to maintain it forever.
Back in 2005-2006 (I was 14-15), I've been going through a bunch of open source operating systems. I started with Ubuntu, tried Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE (this was all before Mandriva, Fedora or openSUSE became mainstream), did LFS (Linux From Scratch), and eventually ran stuff like NetBSD and OpenBSD on desktop as well.

Playing around with Gentoo is a distinct memory: downloading the two CD images too two nights on my connection at the time. Compiling everything felt like I knew way more about computing than I did. I felt smart, powerful and in some sense, an outlaw.

It had a profound impact on the fact that I still work with software, many years later.

Thanks to everyone involved.
It's actually really nice. Not only does it provide a really good effect when swiping between photos in your photo album (it plays a bit of that video during the swipe, so your photo basically animates into place), but it often captures some really good stuff. I can't tell you in how many photos of my kids I've found utter delight in the live portion.

It also lets you pick a different key frame, so if e.g. you get someone blinking, you can pick a different frame from the video to use instead.

And if you capture photos back to back such that the live portions overlap, you can convert the group of photos into a single contiguous video.
In many places, allowing and encouraging infill development and upzoning would make carfree life viable more quickly than you'd think.

I've lived most of my life in former streetcar suburbs -- neighborhoods of single-family homes, duplexes, and small apartment buildings that were served by a streetcar line every few blocks. Today, some of those places require cars to get anywhere interesting and back, while some of them have a few well-used bus lines and a ton of local restaurants, groceries, and hardware stores in easy walking distance.

The density tipping point is really low; a few four-plexes on each block, which didn't diminish any of the "neighborhood character" or lead to epic struggles to find parking. (I did still have a car, I just used it a lot less, and was much happier not having to bother.) And it felt a lot nicer than the all-or-nothing neighborhoods that are either single-family homes or large corporate apartment complexes.
> All enhancing an employee's career does is ensure that they have leverage to negotiate higher salaries or leaving the company. No company wants this.

Explicitly, no. Growing talent inside is far less risky than hiring from the outside. Sometimes that means someone will leave, yes - but if the relationship is good they will do it at the right time when they are ready, not when they are miserable. This is win win. Long term net positives here are hard to understate.

> I can only assume that it doesn't exist or that it is so rare that it may as well not exist.

Well I can equally attest your assumption is false. But this is probably just a demonstration that path dependence is a real thing.

All I can say is you have a very negative view of the whole situation, which doesn't match my experience at all, or that of many people I know.
Like I said, industrial environments. A small niche group of people and businesses who could use some information in front of their face as they do hands-on work.

Estimates of the size of this market were in the single digit billions of dollars for Google, who bailed out of Google Glass recently: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/18/google-glass-enterprise-mark...

For comparison, the iPhone makes $200 billion in revenue every year. Apple Services (Music, TV+, etc) make something like $20 billion every quarter.

Apple does not enter many businesses that only have the potential to make $1-2 billion.
The author seems confused about beer and ale. Ale is beer but not all beer is ale. He seems to think it’s about hopping. It’s not. It’s about top and bottom fermenting yeast. Top is ale bottom is lager. That’s all there is. Nothing to do with hops.

database/sql provides a generic interface for SQL which drivers use to build their libraries. You can switch from one postgres driver like pq to pgx easily because they both support database/sql.
The modern version of the American dream is an extremely toxic ideology. It promotes such an extreme version of individualism that it's threatening to tear apart all the social safety nets still existent in the US while also glorifying excessive wealth hoarding.

It is absolutely bonkers that we've gotten to the point where cheating on your taxes can be viewed as a virtue.
> There are walk-able tourist areas in the US as well that people enjoy, but couldn't imagine living in.

Like Disneyland? Of course nobody could live there. But actual walkable neighborhoods tend to be prohibitively expensive because they're extremely desirable.
Also, the average is always going to be higher than the median. These things tend to follow a lognormal distribution.
> "space as delimiter" is awful in so many ways

Yes. But it's also absolutely great in so many ways.
Don't assume you can read "fucking" more into what I wrote than what I wrote and cast your anger on me.

It's all public policy choice, and if you think that it's simple, than lay it all out for us after you've considered all the consequences (immediate, secondary, "unintended", and unintended) and get back to us.
Yeah, but Go provides this for almost everything in the STD. io, networking, http, sql, and so on.
Indeed, it's good to be cautious of such claims. Low level radiation could be worse than predicted by the LNT.
Human civilization existed without office culture for many millennia, and we managed to socialize and reproduce just fine. Even in modern times a very tiny percentage of people in the world are white collar office workers, and the rest somehow don't have any of the problems you mention. Heck I'm willing to wager that people who don't have these kinds of office jobs do better socially and romantically than those sitting behind a desk all day.

All generative AI packages, that I know of, are not going to use material only from one artist even when generating something in that artists style.

In general it is more than for example tracing a photo and coloring it differently.

Just like artists can copy the style and techniques of another artist(often several) and generate something original, current generative AI, often, seem to do something similar.

I am not saying that the current generative AI can not produce copy righted work, but it is not obvious to me that if the original dataset is all copyrighted that all output retain those copyrights, though it seems likely select output could.
People find cars the easiest way to get around and they support things to make that easier. The average person wants to be able to travel somewhere easy and when they get there park. If that means more parking and wider roads they may support that. I hate arguments that latch onto a small extremist view and try to paint everyone with that broad stroke. Supporting cars is not some right wing agenda.

Every suburb I have lived in has been walkable for the main items (grocery, bar, getting to public transit). If you want to live in the suburbs and walk you have to make that your priority but it is very doable.
my i7-4790 served me nicely for 8 years. Only upgraded because now most games were CPU-limited, even on "only" GTX 1070. But I went "all in" "I don't want to upgrade for quite a long time" with 7800X3D. Maybe GPU upgrade in 2-3 years...
I have the exact opposite experience when I get to play a game again with better graphics. It's like I get to experience it all over again, which is great
Yeah, I'm okay with that model — as long as they give us a couple years before the new. Developer's gotta eat.

It's the subscription model that is poison.
Or, you know, it would be nice to have a shell that didn’t assume everyone lives in North America and speaks only a single language..?

Lots of things written more recently have shown that support for more, eh, inclusive, character encodings can work just fine.
It's not about the chips. It was never about the chips.
If it's per user, than that won't be economical for TikTok.
This is why I loved every console pre-PS4, from a technical standpoint.
The amount of performance (think God of War 2 or Black) devs were able to squeeze out of the PS2 was nothing short of staggering.
I feel like loitering, like jay-walking, is a crime invented for the purpose of selling cars. There's nothing inherently wrong with just hanging out on foot in a place where people are meant to be on foot and/or hanging out.
why would i have a car i dont use?
The alternative to LNT is to conservatively assume radiation has the maximum effect not ruled out by evidence (after all, radiation is not a criminal defendant that's innocent until proven guilty). This would make low level radiation more dangerous than predicted by LNT, not less.
Looking at the site, I may have worded my reply too strongly since you can still export your passwords even if your subscription ends. But nonetheless, 1Password used to make a great product where I could choose to sync my password to any cloud service of my choice without subscription.

They discontinued their standalone product because they knew they could make a lot more money by selling subscriptions. That’s their prerogative, but it’s also mine to point potential customers to Bitwarden, which can be used free of charge, can be self-hosted, and is open source.
Not really. If there's that much radon in the air, it's a risk to health with or without the static electricity.

(Los Alamos doesn't have dangerous concentrations of radon; they just have very sensitive detectors.)
> I'm guessing from your comments you're in your 40s-60s.

Yes, late 50s. I was introduced to computers when I was about 10 by a hacker who took me (and a few other kids as a group) to play with a mainframe computer every couple of weeks. Since all of us kids were from very, very poor families, this was a particularly incredible opportunity that I didn't fully appreciate until I was an adult.

> These are the adults who put together programs for us and wooed our parents with talks about how participating would set us up in life and whose advice all seemed to center around our ambitions rather than our joys.

I remember seeing that as well. It bothered me a great deal at the time. That sort of thing is career guidance, not encouraging exploration, play, and deep learning.

> It's harder to interact with strangers' children now and we're far more risk averse so mentorship in the old way is a huge risk for the older person.

This is absolutely true, but was a factor when I was a kid as well. The guy who took us to play with the mainframe knew us because he was a teacher in an afterschool latchkey program -- so he wasn't an unknown to our parents.

My daughter (who's just a couple of years younger than you) was the volunteer coordinator at the local science museum. The museum had many programs for young children to teach them various sciency things. Perhaps the way I can give back is to go through them. Maybe start a "hacking program" or something. Seems better than just being a random creepy old guy befriending young children.

Thank you for this discussion, by the way. You may (or may not) have been rambling, but your comments sparked a lot in my brain, brought me a bit of enlightenment, and you have planted a few seeds.
There are lots of coherent arguments (whether you agree with them or not) about why defence tech could be considered valuable. Ad-tech has a lot less going for it.

(Used) car prices continue to climb.

Subprime auto loans continue to be fairly popular, Investopedia is claiming about 40% of used car loans are subprime.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/subprime_auto_loans.asp
https://www.consumerreports.org/car-financing/many-americans...

So, no, rich people aren't driving these ballooning loans they're going to the working poor. The excruciatingly poor don't own cars. Defaults were ticking up leading into the pandemic, people are simply living beyond their means at this point. Cars are expensive and have been getting more and more expensive.
That was correct once - but now living with your family is an extremely rare decision. The "cool" thing to do is to move out when you're 18 and occasionally visit your family before moving them into a snazzy retirement home. Co-living is hardly ever portrayed in pop-culture outside of immigrant families where it's usually played up for laughs.
30 Years Ago World Wide Web Released into Public Domain
TOTK originated as a DLC for BOTW that quickly outgrew it rather than originating as a truly separate game. The amount of new content absolutely justifies it being its own title, but you might find it less disappointing if you pretend it's BOTW part 2.
Quest Pro is probably the leading example yes. If you're calling that garbage, then I think you're (a) setting impossibly high standards and (b) out of sync with most people's perception, as most people perceive these has having "edge to edge clarity".
S230 passed during a time where it was infeasable to have all user generated content curated. Now with AI tools and more compute available, it is possible and so companies that are large enough should not be given a free pass here.

I don't think these companies can moderate content when it suits their interests (politics) but then try to shirk responsibility when it comes to illegal content like CSAM.

Probably what we will end up with is school from home, work from home, everything from home. Socialisation will move entirely online where you meet up on VR Chat or whatever is popular at the time. Many people will almost never leave their house.
