This is a contradiction. Not that eye witness testimonies are completely without merit, but "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" and eye-witness testimony alone does not meet that standard....no matter who the witness is.

looks like iphone 7 didn't get ios 16 - is that right?

depending on what you do with it, it may work well enough for a while longer, but at some point, some activities won't be supported - banking/finance apps are the big ones I know will stop supporting earlier ios versions sooner or later. My bank's app requires ios 14 min. I suspect they may bump that to 15 or 16 in the next year or so.
I implemented something similar recently, but opted to write my own UUIDv7 that uses the last 16 flexible bits for a "type ID". That allows 65K different data models, which should be more than enough. Could even partition that further to store a node ID for a globally distributed setup.

So it's got all of the above perks, but it also an actual UUID and fits in a Postgres UUID column.

It's very cool to be able to resolve a UUID to a particular database table and record with almost zero performance overhead (cached table lookup + indexed record select).

You are correct in that the industry as a whole is not union. Most of the smaller vfx houses are not union.

However some of the larger vfx houses like ILM and some of the feature animation houses like Dreamworks are are union. (ILM is IATSE...not sure about others)

In my experience, whether or a vfx shop is union or not has little impact on salary and job stability.

The i5-3330 went EOL in 2014, released in 2012. An up-to-date first-class Debian system on decade-old hardware is just a sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade away.

It is a real bummer that the major hardware vendors choose not to open up their devices when they reach end of life. Phones and old hardware are frequently viable for double their enforced service-lives or longer.
My experience has been similar. I'm still using my early 2013 MPB with original battery (it has been saying replace battery for last 2 years but I have not bothered). It still gets security updates and works perfectly fine for everyday personal use. I used iPhone 5 for 5 years, then iPhone 7 Plus for another 5 years, now on iPhone 12 which will easily last 5 years. Btw, at each upgrade the phone was perfectly fine and traded in for good value and I decided to upgrade because they genuinely had better and more useful hardware to go with upgraded software. For data backups and cloud services, I use different things for photos vs files vs music etc. I'm not locked into iCloud and I don't find apple is coercing either.
It's sufficient for quantitative finance and trading but not for accounting. For financial engineering and modeling it doesn't matter if results are a few fractions of a cent off as long as your profit margins/model tolerances are greater than the error, because your broker/bank/exchange will keep track of the exact values in your account. But if you are building a bank/broker/exchange, then tracking it precisely enough for GAAP is now your problem.

> Is there an overproduction of artist hopefuls compared to the movies being made?

Yes.

Hollywood in the general sense is also an industry packed to the brim with ego and wishful thinking. Nobody wants to rock the boat because, heaven forbid, an artist may never be allowed to live their dream working on the next Avatar or the next Toy Story for crossing the wrong person.

For better or worse, most young artists I've known are wishful thinkers. They each had a dream of working on the next Jurassic Park or the next equivalent to 2001 A Space Odyssey, or the next Frozen or whatever. Although the software industry is filled with aspirations of working at The Google or Meta, unlike programmers, artists in entertainment are willing to work for peanuts because they can't have their grand vision shattered.

The fantasy of being important is what fuels the entertainment industry. It's numerically infeasible for every artist to work on The Next Big Hit, but everyone is required to believe they can in order for there to be enough fresh artists to be chewed up and spat out.

I'm so glad I left animation and became a programmer. The worst coworkers in software pale in comparison to the giant throbbing dicks that exist everywhere in the entertainment industry. I can refuse to work weekends or, even more drastic, quit my job when the deal gets bad, and it's unlikely to permanently damage my career if it even does at all. My career isn't founded on a combination of free work and brown-nosing.

> this is one of the places I feel generative AI can do a lot of good.

I seriously think that studios aren't far from having their lunch totally eaten by small groups of individuals using various forms of AI. No doubt that GPT has been used in Hollywood already, but VFX and animation are stuck in the past in many ways. These studios are afraid to experiment, which is why they resort to using old school methods that are outclassed by individuals with deepfake tech.
I have a complicated relationship with Cars 2. I'm southern, so Mater as a character represents a lot of stereotypes for better and for worse. They went over-the-top with his "stupid" moments so that he could have an internal character reckoning about tactfulness, while also being the hero of the movie. If they had just made him more normal, he wouldn't have had to be so shamed, and it's the shame aspect that made me feel weird. I just feel like the weakest part of the plot was the fake gasoline conspiracy. I haven't seen Cars 3 yet but my friends have told me "it's the sequel Cars deserved," and I'm hoping they're right.

Sounds like it's a lot of things, but one thing mentioned in the article is pricing pressure from plan administrators. Large plans have outsized influence on pricing. Mix that with unscrupulous manufactures that cut corners to lower costs and you have a mess. Those bad manufactures can agree to go lower than legit manufactures and they then let the plan administrators force pricing lower for everyone. At some point the legit manufacturers are priced out, leaving only the bad ones. Then when a bad one implodes, the market isn't there anymore. By this point plan administrators have anchored pricing too low and are likely going to be slow to adjust (if they adjust at all).

Aider seems pretty comfortable working with android apps. Here's a conversation I just had with it:

> what's a simple, popular open source android app?

One simple and popular open source Android app is "Minimal ToDo". It's a simple task management app with a clean, minimalistic user interface. The source code is available on GitHub and it's a great project for beginners who want to understand the structure and functioning of an Android app.

> clone command to clone minimal todo?

To clone the Minimal ToDo app from GitHub, you can use the following command:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/avjinder/Minimal-Todo.git
```

This will create a local copy of the Minimal ToDo repository on your machine.

> tell me about the overall structure of this codebase

This codebase appears to be for an Android application, specifically a to-do list app. The structure is typical of an Android project, with Java source files, XML layout files, and resource files.

1. Java Source Files: These are located in the `app/src/main/java/com/example/avjindersinghsekhon/minimaltodo` directory. The package structure suggests that the app is divided into several modules such as `About`, `AddToDo`, `Analytics`, `AppDefault`, `Main`, `Reminder`, `Settings`, and `Utility`. Each module contains classes related to its functionality.

2. XML Layout Files: These are located in the `app/src/main/res/layout` directory. They define the user interface for different activities and fragments in the app.

3. Resource Files: These include drawable resources (images, icons), values (strings, dimensions, colors), and menu definitions. They are located in the `app/src/main/res` directory.

4. Gradle Files: The `build.gradle` files specify the build configuration for the app. There are typically two such files in an Android project: one for the project and one for the app module.

5. Test Files: These are located in the `app/src/androidTest/java/com/example/avjindersinghsekhon/minimaltodo` directory. They contain tests for the application's functionality.

6. Manifest File: The `AndroidManifest.xml` file in the `app/src/main` directory declares the app's components to the Android system and specifies permissions and other app requirements.

7. Properties and Configuration Files: Files like `gradle.properties` and `.travis.yml` are used for configuration of the build system and continuous integration services.

8. Other Files: The `google-services.json` file is typically used for configuring services from Google Firebase. The `.idea` directory contains configuration files for the IntelliJ IDEA IDE.

I have a hundred tabs open in my Firefox. They are structured by Tree Style Tab, and most of them are offloaded by Auto Tab Discard.

This gives me a way to instantly switch between contexts (with a small delay if a tab has to be reinstated from cache). This is how bookmarks should really work.

This us why Firefox is not the biggest memory hog on my system. Most of the RAM is consumed by language servers and Emacs.

"— If you’re using JSON to pass around monetary quantities (eg. from the frontend to the backend), put them in strings as opposed to the native number type. You never know what the serializers and deserializers across languages will do to your numbers (round them, truncate them etc.)."

I'd go a step further and prefix the strings with an ISO currency code ... to stop someone from just feeding it into their languages int to float converter and assuming that's ok. Only custom built (hopefully safe) converters will work.

My mum died of that. Technically liver or kidney failure from dehydration, but that in turn was from refusing food in the care home and not having the awareness to get liquids separately.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't like composing or editing in Notion. It has some lovely other data aware view and link functionality, but I find myself fighting the block vs content structure frequently. For example, the edit interface really wants links in their own blocks vs links in the middle of some text being composed. If I want to write a lot of content in quickly, I trigger meta controls too often.
DoD software and the commercial / FOSS world rarely intersect. The last time the government tried to set a computing language standard, we got COBOL, so it's probably for the better such a thing isn't tried again.

The marketing Mozilla employees have came up with is creating a Categorical Imperative for using Rust. The person in the comments section of a C project or any CVE bug will be saying, this would never have happened if this was written in Rust, why aren't you writing this in Rust? The moral thing to do was to write it in Rust! And a lot of software engineers are eager to think and talk like this, because it gives them something more exciting in their lives beyond writing bean counters for selling widgets. Pure functional languages already had a bit of that attitude, but I don't think it caught on nearly so much because actually writing pure functional code is very difficult even for most engineers.

And to me the reason is simple : there's not much law enforcement there.
The rich ones because they are friends with the mayor/police chief so they have orders to not bother the locals.
The poor ones because not sending police there is the easiest way to keep the bad guys there. At least they are not doing their stuff elsewhere.

Many people told me so and I didn't wanted to believe them because it was too simple.
But bad experience after bad experience made me come to the same conclusion : where there's no law enforcement, more and more people are breaking the law, no matter the consequences for their peers.

Some others here are comparing to Windows but the parent commenter here was saying it was a shift for Apple, so here's a snapshot of that from a machine I used to own:

10.3 Panther required a G3 or better and USB, which (in laptop-land) dropped the pre-Lombard G3 Powerbooks from 1998. So the 2003 OS dropped 1998 machines, so just 4 years of coverage.

"Security vulnerabilities" weren't exactly the same thing in those days as they are today, with less online apps, but in a way it was also more obsolete more quickly because hardware moved quickly: you could have a 233Mhz to 300Mhz 1998 G3, but the new 2003 Powerbook G4s were clocked at 867Mhz-1.25Ghz - nearly 4x across the board.

I get more usage out of 5+ year old Macs now than I ever did in the past.
This is not true. Angles very much have units and it's why you can express the same concept with different numbers. Pi equals 180 degrees equals 0.5 turns.

1 radian has different units than 1 steradian and if they didn't there wouldn't be a need for two different words to denote them.

The quantity is a ratio of two lengths, and the length measure does "drop out". But it's not just any ratio, it's a very particular ratio, and the unit defines the particularness of that ratio.

And what Mac has ever stopped getting security updates after 6-7 years?

The 2016 (first TouchBar year) is one of the shorter ones for newest-OS-support, only running up to macOS 12 (Monterey). That was released in 2021 and got its latest security update on 2023-06-21.

Going back further, the 2014 Macbook Pro supports macOS 11 (Big Sur), which was released in 2020 and also got a security update on 2023-06-21.

You have to go back to macOS 10.15 (Catalina) released in 2020 to find a version that hasn't had a security update this year. Which MBP models are stuck at Catalina? Mid 2012 to early 2013. That's 7-8 years with the newest OS, then another 2ish years of security updates.

10 years is far from perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than 6.
I’m not sure I follow. It seems like a strawman question of some kind.

Well, fly.io is not the Web, but also it’s not the point

The closest I can get to what your questions is to say, it’s under the control of a for-profit company financing itself with shareholders who want to see profits? That’s true of many companies, the sentiment in the GP comments applies to the general pattern of becoming enshittified after a large investment / sale, not specifically fly.io
If a C library used Python to run its tests, I don't think we would consider the whole Python interpreter to be part of the software supply chain for that library. Sure it's possible that running tests on a build machine could let an attacker corrupt the build later, with a bad PyPI package or something. But that feels more like a "not having a clean build environment" problem than a "this project has too many dependencies" problem. I think the fact that Cargo manages these two lists in the same file makes the relationship feel tighter, but I'm not sure it's actually tighter.

Angles aren't dimensionless any more than lengths are dimensionless (feet per second makes just as much sense as rpm). It's just that angles have symmetries that lengths don't, which is where 2 pi comes in. Do you want units where your symmetries are expressed in multiples of 1, 2, or 2 pi (for turns, half-turns, and radians, respectively)?
