> There are good laptops out there other than Macs... Lenovo, HP, Dell, etc all have offerings which are supported out of the box by Linux because they aren't using their own hardware or do contribute the necessary code to run FOSS OSs.

For the love of all that is holy, name one model that has the following properties:

- 6 hours real life battery doing C++ development work.

- 7+ days suspend battery life

- 99.99% success rate resuming from suspend under linux (~ 1 kernel panic per year is OK)

- Centered keyboard and trackpad

- >> 1080p screen

- bluetooth, wifi, webcam, etc, etc, all work reliably (~ 1 device "need to reboot" failure across all categories, per year)

- un-noticable fan

- less than 10% permanent hardware failure rate per year

None of the last ~ $10K worth of intel machines I've used (including high end macs, linux and windows machines) met the above criteria.

My M2 macbook actually ticks all the boxes.

However, I really, really, dislike MacOS.

I don't fully agree with your assessment. While it's true that very few people seem to "want" federation, I think a lot of people want smaller communities.

Many pseudo-redditors are only on the site because of its small communities. The niche stuff. What used to be forums dedicated to one craft, which have kind of re-gathered on Reddit because it's easier to just create a micro-community like this than to bother setting up your own forum/instance/whatever. Same reason Facebook groups are popular.

But also, smaller communities benefit from a much healthier signal-to-noise ratio. Tildes (https://tildes.net/) for example is invite-only and has remained a healthy, high quality discussion & content platform through the years because of exactly this.

HN is also kind of in that boat -- and people tend to complain how the HN community growing degrades the quality. I do see it as well, though the fact it has two full-time paid and incredibly dedicated moderators helps a LOT. I believe the rugged UI also helps.
But... 99% of insert-startup-product-built-on-React (or honestly, any framework) is typically super slow (for whatever reason that might be). Sluggish, not super responsive, laggy UI, however you want to describe it. A far cry from the snappiness of desktop apps from 25+ years ago.

Something or some collection of people are doing something wrong, somewhere in the chain. So isn't this just yet another way to further entrench the modern state of meh-ness in performant UI?

I tested SwiftKey recently and works quite well with speech to text when whispering very silently when you put you lips close to microphone but worked even well with airpods. This still might be culturally weird to everyone whispering but in office with fans and aircon and other ambient sound i think would be hard to hear anyone whispering when 2m away.
UFOs existing or not, I do hope the USAF has a program for securing and recovering unknown, alien, foreign, and domestic craft; be they experimental or otherwise.

This could be as simple as 'aliens' are a cover story for crazy secret experimental vehicle programs. Many of us really want to believe we aren't alone, or that the world is as interesting as fiction.
This is not the US concept of property.

The United States views rights (including life, liberty, and property) as being natural, i.e. they exist in the absence of governments, and that government can only infringe on those rights to the minimum extent necessary to accomplish the tasks set out for it in the Constitution. Things have drifted quite a bit over time but that’s the foundational notion behind the US Constitution.

It’s really a remarkable document in that conceptually it makes the government subject to the citizens, not the citizens subjects of the government. If you read it carefully it says quite clearly “the government is allowed to do these X things, and nothing else, and by the way it is expressly forbidden from doing these other things that we didn’t give it authority to do but we know that they’ll try to do anyway so just no”.

Ahh the site claims I’m in the European economic area (I’m not) so won’t serve the page. Probably means they are actively hostile to me.

Or the facts of every circumstance matters a lot more in how the law is applied than you are willing to give it credit for.

A telecoms company like AT&T is subject to common carrier provisions and regulation by the FCC under the Communications Act of 1934.

If a landlord wanted to prevent you from putting up signs on the property, they probably can put that in the lease agreement but their free speech interests and property interests while still dominant are compromised to an extent as well by having rented the property out to you, but not to the extent that your free speech and property interests (like your personal property) are entirely compromised either. Their ability to evict is dependent on jurisdiction, but such a case would likely turn a lot on the facts depending on the jurisdiction.

Dress codes however can be arbitrary. You can be excluded from a club because the owner doesn’t like your shoes, and yes, that’s legal. Their property interest in this case entirely trumps your free speech interest. Having strong property rights is in part why we are a free nation, but sometimes when there are clashing interests, someone’s interests are going to win out and 9/10 it will be in favor of the property owner’s interest.
Yep! You're correct. I didn't mean to imply that they look sickly or anything, just that their body is literally on the verge of failing, even if it looks perfectly fine.
The "difficulty" here can also be improved significantly in many different ways. E.g. a browser extension that allows auto-filling a form field with webfinger id is all that's needed to build a better flow for a lot of these federated services.

There are ways which would work without extensions too. E.g. a DHT mapping <some fingerprint> -> instance url. It doesn't even need to be perfect. Worst case you need to fill in the correct instance hostname.

The SEC had a hand in the subprime mortgage crisis, quite literally there is no reason to believe they are regulating on the behalf of anyone except the large banks. They absolutely are not regulating to help "investors" they are regulating to protect big banks like JPMC, just like they did in 08.
Why are many of the biggest web frameworks in dynamically typed langs?
Django, Rails, Lavarel, Phoenix … Is static typing less useful in Web development? Do these dynamic languages enable better dev experience (than frameworks in statically typed langs like Spring, ASP.net)?

I have no experience in building big web apps and I would like to learn one of those big frameworks that come with a lot out of the box. Kind of curious to try Phoenix because Elixir seems fun and tooling around it seems good. On the other hand, I can’t really imagine not having types, so I’m thinking maybe I should try Spring boot with Kotlin instead (type system seems really nice).

Anyone has some thoughts on this? Not looking for general static/dynamic typing discussion, just want to know what makes a good web framework.
I'd say saying M$ makes it harder for M$ to find out I'm talking about them in them in the indexed web because it's more ambiguous, that's all I need to know.

May someone who does not understand any of this ask a question?

Years ago scientists made small black holes here in Earth, and, while I was screaming in protest, they assured me they would not fall to the center of the Earth and slowly eat us all. They assured us those black holes would evaporate.

Has anything changed? Should I be worried?
I sympathize with victim in this story. The AI detecting anti-cheating tools really seem like quite the racket.

At a certain point, telling if someone "cheated" on a research paper by evaluating only the text of the paper because ineffective because a student can always pay someone else to do the assignment for them. Instead of devising better assessment techniques, they do the same old things.

I've always learned a thing or two after completing a research paper, but ultimately they always felt like busy work. The goal was always the paper, not an actual objective that requires research.
I think you're forgetting the mass censorship, which you so cutely describe as "ask it to go elsewhere".

If the original Reddit, facebook, or most other OG forums were introduced today, that "one group" would do everything in their powers to take it offline. The everyday members of that group also refuse to use that service until it conforms to their censorship needs.

You can find that sort of
content with ease on Reddit. Those people are probably mostly over there or in similar places. Gab has less users and engagement so only the people prohibited from speaking elsewhere find themselves there.

While Gab has lots of ideas I disagree with it was the only place I found that I could discuss things like the Wuhan lab leak theory or the contents of Hunter Bidens laptop. Twitter and Reddit both banned me for discussing those topics.

Man, nobody has time for this shit. Leave the games and the drama for the social justice warriors and the furries. People building shit ain't got time for this - ejecting trouble makers is the right way to go regardless of which "side" they're on.

Apple actively encourages everyone to adopt the latest version. If your device is from 2018 or newer it will support the latest OS, so back porting frameworks is less important than on platforms like Android where devices are only updated for a much shorter duration and often several months after that version is released by Google.

Sure, but that comes with two downsides:

1. Since it's an extended display over wireless, bandwidth limitations mean you're limited to just a single 4k resolution monitor floating in space (they mentioned that it simulates a single 4k monitor in the demo)

2. You also would have to bring your laptop with you

To me, one of the major value propositions for something like the Vision Pro would be that it could replace your laptop entirely. But it doesn't seem like that will be the case, at least based on what they've announced.

Yeah but the challenge lately has been that efficiency gains have also made the capabilities of large compute clusters even more powerful. Transformers were introduced as an efficient alternative to RNNs and conv nets, then it turned out that however much they supercharged a single GPU, they were dramatically more powerful deployed at datacenter scale.
I think people are latching on to the magnitude of your claim rather than the direction and therein missing the point. FWIW, as somebody who meets your criteria, myself and my network of people from that time offer much credence to your claim.

Even back in 2016/17, many people involved were openly bemoaning how 80+% of ICOs were unregistered security offerings to vaporware.

You can almost pinpoint the inflection point at which Coinbase decided their goal was short-term profit maximization vs developing a healthy ecosystem. The company in the last 5 years is completely unrecognizable in contrast to when there were only 3 coins you could buy from them (USDT, BTC, ETH).
BBC, BA, Boots cyberattack: Russian hackers far from done, warn experts
News broke on Monday that tens of thousands of employees at the BBC, British Airways, Boots, and Aer Lingus have had their details stolen due to a cyberattack on payroll service provider Zellis. Microsoft blamed the data breach on a Russian cybercriminal gang called Clop.

But now cybersecurity researchers are warning that this incident is far from over — the issue is much wider than previously thought and there are still serious consequences to come.

“Anyone that is running the MOVEit software should assume they might have been breached,” Rick Holland, the chief information security officer at global cybersecurity firm ReliaQuest told The Standard.

“Hopefully, everyone has kicked in their incidence response. According to our research, there are more than 1,000 servers [in the world] running unpatched versions of the software.”

He added that Clop essentially has a “treasure trove” of stolen information to sift through. They will go after large organisations that have the money to pay, but it could take a while before victims are notified or discovered that their data is compromised.
Depends on if you're using Monix/Haskell style tasks (lazy, run when depended on) or JS-style promises (E Promise / C# Task / Java Future - run when instantiated, waiting is post-submission). Agreed completely though, structured concurrency is fantastic.
It's not 4K per eye. They say 23M pixels across two eyes, which is 11.5M for each eye. 4K is 8.2M. It's 40% more pixels than 4K, with the intent presumably being to be able to display a 4K-resolution display within a larger space.

> No clue what Postgres would manage, but I suspect it would be about an order of magnitude higher latency in the happy case.

Unless you’re talking 1 versus 10 microseconds (or less), I don’t think Postgres will have an order of magnitude higher latency. And if we are talking this range, why would it matter for a web app where the client’s latency is almost certainly >1 millisecond?

The video you linked to mentions an example: an elderly person getting a Russian passport in order to get medical care (after nine years).
And neither is justifiable cause for regulatory action.

I don't think this is the reason the SEC is going after Coinbase, but frankly I don't believe the SEC is doing any of this on the behalf of "protecting investors".

> Even with that consideration, the notion that 37% of people who want to retire early haven’t started the process

37% of gen Z. I have to imagine there was some miscommunication between the author and editor since this paragraph and the one above contradict each other.

> After the newness of freedom wears off, you’re once again left with the same mental health issues that were pervasive in your previous life.

The problems of not having enough money are not just mental health issues in disguise. It's all well and good to live for today until your job is made redundant and, the rent's due.

> Retirement isn’t typically seen as a career transition, but a point after which you no longer exchange your time and labor for a paycheck.

There's a difference between working because you want to and working because you have to. It's upsetting when I go to McDonald's and there's an elderly person at the window. They're not happy. But plenty of people open restaurants when they retire and are happy.

> The only way to have joy and contentment in retirement, at any age, is to truly live your life en route.

You have to plan significantly far ahead to enjoy retirement. Not that you need to know what you'll be doing when retired, but you need to build up the resources.

I think this bewilderment at fire comes from (1) a blindness to the difficulties the financially-poor elderly face -- go to Walmart or fast food sometime you'll see what I mean (2) a lack of appreciation for the security a pension, which can't be relied upon anymore, used to provide (3) an underestimation of how volatile the jobs market will be over the next 50 years
No one likes secret internet clubs, they're lame and end up as a circlejerk or a hugbox, much like early IRC servers and discord servers now.

Opinion: lobste.rs sucks because you need to be one of the chosen people to post there, and you're only chosen if you think like someone already in there. The posts there are very high quality, but it might as well be a hivemind's blog. Why would I read someone else's comments when I could make my own, on a different website with the same links posted?

But you don't want to end up like reddit, with their facebook tier front page and repetitive, bot(-like ?) comments. Reddit sucks now is because they let anyone post anything, and the admins want to capture the stream of quick, digital trash coming out of tiktok and the likes. That's what the shareholders want, more users to sell ads. Who cares what the peons babble about, make sure whoever visits the site doesnt have an ad blocker and stick around a long time.

Having a small community lets you specialize more and, in my opinion, specializing a website is much healthier. Discussions are much more pleasant when you go to traffic-forum or chair-forum dot com to discuss traffic tech or leather chairs. You go to reddit, or facebook, or whatever, and see mounds of unrelated videos and pictures flooding your screen. The moderators don't do their job because when you allow everything, you only have to do the bare minimum.
By bullshit he means censoring, forced advertising and content filtration which is conducted by the administrators and owners.
These things are necessary to run a centralised internet service and some people with idealistic visions are trying to find a more open and inclusive alternative.
But we have many examples why this is difficult or even impossible, with examples of Usenet or the direction Mastodon has been taking recently.
Cause in reality we want to be steered mindlessly, we want to be fed a consistently emotional and relatable story. It is peaceful and easy.

A sound wave moves 85 mm in that time at Mach 1, around 340 m/s. That doesn't mean we need to sample a sound that has no components above 20 Hz, using 4000 samples per second.

The propagation speed can be misleading.

All that matters is whether there are oscillations in the suspension that go up to 1800 Hz, not how fast the car is going forward. If there are, those would have to be harmonics. You'd think would be beyond the frequency response of the suspension. Suspensions are heavy, bulky components and are heavily dampened (which is a kind of low-pass filter).

If the suspension moves anywhere near 17 mm per sample (250 km/h vertically), that car is in serious trouble.

which certainly sounds like there isn’t a moral or ethical position their parent could have including abuse.

I don’t think anyone thinks the only unethical thing in the world is abuse, and I cannot imagine what kind of a person you would have to be to think that I would mean that.
