Cloudflare doesn't cache pages by default as that would create issues (logins, comments, admin sections, etc). They cache static files (images, css, js, etc), but that's it. You need to set it up yourself and have ways to bypass and purge the cache.
Interesting. Which M2 machine are you using?
I understand that, and for the most part I actually agree. I think in those situations it is less important to point fingers at specific actors but at the structure and system. Because you're right that it isn't about individuals in those cases, but systematic problems.

But there's 2 things I need to say:

1) In a system of bad actors, it is still useful to point fingers and discuss the largest (or small subset) that are doing this. Because

2) Certain actors are driving forces, which others follow. This is Apple. They even brag about having this position. They even have the credentials to do so! They earned that right. They took away the headphone jack. They got us all on ear buds. They got us all on smart phones in the first place. They made podcasts a thing. The aren't the cause of everything, but they are one of the drivers, and definitely the most powerful one. It would be naive to be under the impression that Apple doesn't have significant influence on the entire market. They've done things that resulted in significant backlash, had lots of consumer complaints, and have no become the status quo (e.g. headphone jack). They were the only major company to solder RAM for decades, and people complained about it for just as long. They have weight, they know it, and they know how to use it. That weight allows them to make markets that don't even exist.

Because of this, I will point fingers. My complaint with your comment is that you characterize Apple as just another player being pulled along by forces outside their control. But let's be real, Apple was the first $1T company (late 2018), the first $2T company (late 2020), AND the first $3T company (Jan 2022). No one else even comes close. Microsoft is #2 market cap, but has a 12% gap, then Google with a 43% gap. There are only 4 trillion dollar companies (Amazon being the next) and realistically only one builds laptops (MSFT isn't as hardware focused). Apple sets the tone. Yes, the system sucks and is problematic, but that doesn't mean we should ignore the one dictating that system.
Yeah, ISPs don't like massive uploading in particular.
I think what a lot of younger people also don’t realize is how gigantic a single issue of computer shopper was. They were as thick as phone books with thin weight pages. I remember multiple issues being well into the thousands of pages.

> Lisp programmers tend to think that every problem is best solved by layering abstractions.

Nah, when I write Lisp programs, I have more of an appreciation for appropriate abstractions, not needless abstractions.

> A elegant lisp expression is meaningless in isolation.

Elegance is usually in relation to something. For example,

(list 1 2 3)

Is more elegant than

var list = new LinkedList<Integer>();
list.add(1);
list.add(2);
list.add(3);

> When reading lisp code, you must recursively find and remember the definitions for each token on the page before you can understand what it does.

You need to do this for any language. In Java and many other languages, having a "Go to definition" IDE function is very useful.

> Lisp programmers are blind to the power and clarity of thought that comes from direct expression - all definitions visible at once, with no indirection.

Not sure what this is referring to. Do you have an example?

> A lisp programmer might look down on a Java programmer's reliance on IDEs.

Plenty of Lisp programmers use Emacs, which has a great many tools to help developers including jumping to definitions, showing documentation, running and using a step debugger for code, etc. Not sure why Lisp programmers would look down on Java programmers because of an IDE.

> By crafting different bespoke DSLs for each new problem, lisp programmers lose the opportunity to hone one DSL to perfection.

This seems to be a Lisp meme. Just because Lisp can be used to make a DSL doesn't mean all Lisp programs are macro-implemented DSLs. There's plenty of Lisp code that looks just like Java code with function, struct, object definitions and calls, except it uses parens.
I think you probably see more than the national average. It's a fantastic pair of headphones if you're using them a lot. It's the only pair I've seen that had consumer grade features "normal users" care about while having pretty close to audiophile audio quality.

AMD's Strix Halo is an APU targeted next year that supposedly has 256-bit wide LPDDR5X memory, on laptops I think, which should be nice.

I do hope folks other than Apple can get fast! The new CAMM dual channel module will hopefully help reduce footprint but there's plenty of soldered down systems so it's not really required. It also surprises me there's not a GDDR based APU, except I guess too many games need both a bunch of system ram and video ram and 32GB vram is expensive and has significant lower draw. Apple going wide is really the obvious move, & doing it on package was the best way to do it, it seems.
Yeah for real. Especially for a F1 subreddit. Monday and Tuesday is the quietest period and it's not even coming off a race weekend. If they want to make an impact this should at least stretch into the weekend of the 17th.
How the Banking System Changed Post-SVB
Associating expressions with source location info is a cost that we bear only when processing source code. If we shoehorn it into conses, then there is some nonzero cost to all cons cell processing, whether we are scanning code or not.

That's true only because cons cells have a specific representation, but they don't have to. Bard classes are defined by protocols, not representations.

If I remember right, that's what Moon liked: because Bard's classes were defined by protocol and not representation, source code could be made of lists, and could have a place to hang metadata, without imposing that cost on other lists, because lists were not any specific representation; they were just any representation for which the list protocol was defined.

The Census' approach has apparently not been ideal for a lot of people, and it looks like it may be changing to just have a combined question for race and ethnicity. The problem is that the Census insists that Latino or Hispanic can only be an ethnicity, which doesn't really match up with a lot of people's experiences.

Another myth that dovetails with the author's mention that pageviews don't matter: The only way to get traffic is to write about something a lot of people search for, thus the entire industry around Ahrefs and similar Google Search tools.

And yet. The blog posts that have been my breakout successes, when measured by pageviews or cold outreach or opportunities, are always about incredibly niche things. How to fix one specific thing on an obscure printer. My rambling ideas about a broader topic. If anything, the more niche, eccentric stuff that only matters to you helps you find your people, and that's where the magical connections happen. And the traffic, weirdly, as no one else is catering to your people as well as you can.

Although WWDC is a developers' conference, the keynote tends to be a popular event for regular Apple users as well, and over the last decade the keynote announcements have become significantly more user-facing while technical details are relegated to the Platforms State of the Union (or the specific sessions throughout the rest of the week).

So I was impressed — or maybe "pleased" would be a better word. I was pleased that they chose not to hype this feature using the common buzz words of the year, and instead just stuck to technical terminology. Some other companies would not have done the same, in my opinion.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking of too.
> then does do those cut corners really matter?

the problems with the kind of corners apple tends to cut is that they don't matter until they do (i.e. just for a small set of users) in which case you often run into fun things like needing whole motherboard replacements or similar which tends to mean getting anew laptop and hoping you did a data backup properly and apple repair doing everything they can to push off any blame (i.e. cost).

I mean it's not worse then other laptops, definitely not.

But for the price a "developer laptop" costs I would expect more (i.e. _lowest possible spec_ of M2 14" which allows 64GiB of RAM + 2TB SSD == 4619€). Mainly I would expect better service when it comes to repair, especially if it's needed due to not so perfect design of Apple. I mean that price are 2 and a half Framwork semi 14" laptops with maxed out Ryzen CPU and 64GiB or RAM + 2 TB SSD. For most (but not all) use cases this Framework laptop will perform comparable. And sure the Framework laptop isn't as good as Apple but it's not "just half as good" (assuming the .5 missing framework laptop is for a hypothetical expensive OS license) and Framework isn't even "cheap" for what you get ... the balance is just not right.

I mean if they did other things to fill the gap like very good flexible support, actually ethical supply chain handling and/or similar it would be reasonable price I would love to pay (well and put Linux on it, but implicitly paying for a hypothetical OS license is my issue).
I have done excellent work in O365 Excel that is later muddied by concurrent/other editors.

Half the time I'm correcting cells where a user navigated to the wrong one and replaced the formula. What's more frustrating is when I develop a BETTER formula to use for the entire column, but there's no easy way to replace it all and I actually want to preserve previously calculated values. (I preserve values for historical accuracy, even if the formula then was not-great.) Makes me think Excel needs git-like version control for rows/records, and the ability to query things like last-modified of a cell, etc.

I have copied everything in the column out to a temporary spreadsheet then paste-by-value to put it back, once the correct formula is set throughout. That's tedious and error-prone and sometimes I lose the dumb historic coloring that previous editors wanted (I preserve what I can) and log why this changed as the maintainer changed. Am I doing this wrong?

There's no easy way to spot holes/changes in formulas as you scan down the column: You can use the Review tab option to show Formulas, but if the formulas are largely the same (start the same but are very long), you're unlikely to spot the difference. This could be thousands of rows to scroll through, or the last hundred you're concerned with. Seems like there should be a better way.

I want an easy table protection option to require that 'this formula will be the only formula in this column'. Table protection is so lacking. You can't protect a column to say "only computed values exist here". You protect the column, and it prevents users from entering a new row/record, making a mistake, and deleting the row to try again. We train folks: If you mess up the next row, just delete the entire row and attempt to add it back. The computed columns/values will be there for you. Protecting a column makes this impossible.

Online Excel is advancing.. but I want too much. I feel like there's been low-hanging fruit for years and it's no wonder all these alternatives are good enough to replace Office.

I wonder what the intersection of people who do not know what RAM and Virtual Memory are, but interested in this article?

“ The amount of memory also varies from device to device, as you know when you order a new computer or device and specify the amount of Random-Access Memory (RAM) desired. Many of these platforms also support virtual memory, which allows an application to use more memory than is physically available.”
> I don't fully understand why this happens, but it's pretty common to see people say "nonwhite" when they clearly mean "black".

Americans’ conception of race really only has white and black. They don’t know much about other races, so they project their mental conceptions about black people onto other races.

This is obvious when you see “people of color” applied in ways that really only make sense if you’re talking about black people. But also consider affirmative action. Hispanics as a group have similar economic status to blacks as a group, because many are recent migrants from poor countries. But while blacks have much lower economic mobility than whites in the same income level, Hispanics have similar economic mobility to similarly situated whites. So the logic for preferring a black person over a white person with similar economic level doesn’t apply to Hispanics. But people never think about that, because they conceptualize Hispanics as a “kind of black person.”

The other response has my thoughts right. Although the two things are separate, laypeople (and a surprising number of others too) seem too easily duped by false claims of modern language models exhibiting "emergent properties" of potential sentience.

It's unfortunate that most websites and other services require significant amounts of bandwidth. If I'm using a GPRS connection on my phone, websites other than Hacker News are not really usable. IRC and Usenet still work though.
rust, c++ and (to a certain extent) c are all quite high level languages. if you want to learn low-level programming, learn it for the assembly language for the processor you are interested in. this will make learing languages like c, and the others easier - i know it did it for me.

> It does for physical objects what the web did for paper.

I don't think that's the case. The web was a pure addition to paper, taking most of the existing design vocabulary and radically adding to it through interactivity as well as by dropping the marginal cost of publishing and delivery to zero. The informational content on every piece of paper in the world could appear on a tablet the size of a slim book.

WhateverR of current and plausible near-term hardware is hugely subtractive. VR turns existing physical objects into things you can't see but might trip over. The rest at best adds a gloss of appearance, but a loss of touch, dexterity, and much of the normal interactivity of objects. I've seen interesting ideas for, say, MR board games, where you have some carefully chosen generic objects that get a visual gloss via facehugger image overlays. But I have a hard time seeing that be anything other than a highly niche experience; it's not clear that it would delivery notably more fun than games on the standard living room 2D screen. It's much, much more limited than what the web did for paper.
> but I still haven't met anybody for whom it's a daily driver, or who spends most of their gaming time using it.

> Seems like nobody has mentioned a huge reason Usenet failed:

Many services required client programs to use. Email did and still does unless you use webmail. And there are services that allow you to read and post to usenet through one's browser.
That is actually how it goes, though. The WWDC opening keynote is the typical Apple computer user's best look at what's coming up. It's not not technical, but it's very much deliberately made to be approachable to non-developers.

Whether you agree with this choice or not, it's the way things have been for at least as long as I've been watching (which is over a decade).

Perhaps now is the right time to revamp Usenet to bring it up to par with the Reddit of today. I am also thinking that email / mail lists, forums, and even old protocols like finger and gopher are all worthy of upgrades, and these were all small parts of a true proven p2p, decentralized, self-hosted social networking environment and may even enjoy a new popularity, if developers work on modernizing them.
