Because it is a lot of work, not all phones support/allow rooting, you need to hide root for apps manually for them to work and there's no way to take full backups on Android phone, rooted or not (adb backup is deprecated and never actually worked at all anyway).

Meaning: every time you screw up (or get a new phone) you have to start all over, without the ability to restore a backup.

This can easily take many days worth of man-hours.

There's also Blink [1] which includes a local shell (limited), ssh and mosh support, and comes with a local-first, but remote-dependent, vscode implementation. Works with vscode.dev, code-server (the coder.com and microsoft version), coder.com etc. Not free but a free TestFlight versions available if you accept to be a beta tester of sorts.

I've had moderate success using it, but overall the code-server experience has been a bit lacking, in part due to languages I use, in part due to lots of software still assuming a local-first development environment (code-server/coder.com help with this by e.g. proxying http ports in your dev environment). A real IDE/code editor running on a MacBook is still way superior.

I have been wondering about using a set of *nix tools backed by a git repository as a planner/diary. This tool seems to be an interesting addition for the presentation front.
> In theory, Visual Studio Code for the Web

Yeah, it works okay. I've been using it with GitHub Codespaces[1] in the past, which is not only VSCode Web, but also allows you to run your code (and any terminal commands really) in GitHub's cloud.

You get 60 2-CPU-core hours for free each month, it comes in pretty handy if you just want to quickly code something on the go, and don't have a real laptop / PC available.

I think it just stings how much rentseeking is at every step to do the most basic things on ios. most other mature operating systems have open source alternative app store/repositories with free altrenatives (at the cost of some UI/UX quality you could argue)

There is a thin line to walk between becoming a reimplementation of Windows API and getting developers to write native games.

Linux went for the former, and it became irrelevant for a developer points of view, why develop for Linux and Vulkan when your Windows game works good enough? Maybe it will change in the future and developers will start to write native Linux games, but at the moment they don't.

Apple chose the latter, and for now they hope to bring more developers to write native games. Maybe they will try a different strategy in the future, who knows.
Can't let historical facts get in the way of dogmatic furor.
I wrote this a couple days ago, sums it up: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2023/gplv2-red-hat-and-you

tl;dr - GPLv2 requires no restriction on free/paid recipients of binaries to also freely redistribute source code. Red Hat EULA says your subscription will be canceled if you redistribute the source code. Is that a restriction?

A couple OSS laywers I spoke to said no. Common sense says it feels an awful lot like intimidation to effectively keep their product proprietary (what Fortune 500 company would like to have their Red Hat servers all go dead because some employee downloaded sources and uploaded them somewhere?)
Unreal engine is source available too

I didn’t realize rimworlds source was available. I’m curious how some of their simulation works, that’s definitely interesting. If the Eula is friendly, I may take a look some day
I've used many brands of adaptive cruise control with lane centering and none of them are absolutely trustworthy. I don't see why anyone would expect Tesla's adaptive cruise control with lane centering to be any different. Especially considering they called it "autopilot", a term which can refer to the performing of rote tasks without self-awareness.[0]

Yeah, the most annoying thing about VR, the developers like Meta and Apple literally block you from being productive on these devices. They want VR to be the future but for whatever reason they paternalistically prevent people from actually using them for real work except through frustrating workarounds.
Welp we're at an impasse because your "logic" doesn't track for me either. I don't think any solution starts with talking to disadvantaged children. Fixing the broken systems they live in should have some impact though.

There's too much bullshit out there for me to read every jamoke's book without doing some filtering based on whether this person is likely to be credible or improve my understanding of a situation. It's not identity politics, it's self-preservation.
Sweden had a total of 360 shootings and 62 firearm homicides last year. In a country with 10 million people. That's roughly the size of North Carolina where they have an average of 1,300 shootings and ~530 firearm homicides. Their gun control seems to be pretty effective!
While it's not the best experience I've been using iPad for coding for over 2 years on my personal projects. My setup uses a machine at home with
- https://github.com/coder/code-server
- terminus - for playing with terminal work
- tailscale - for VPN and accessing local servers on home server

I must admit not having a ESC key in ipad keyboard is a pain as I'm a heavy vim user but after a few weeks you kind of get used to CMD + "." for escape and life moves on. IMO, the biggest pro I have for using iPad is the fact that the size and battery life as the heavy computing happens on my home server plus the small network footprint on mobile network is just helpful.

Wow, I had not realized LowEndBox had a weird... whatever that is... undercurrent in its audience. I read the post but not the comments, so when prompted by your comment to do so it was jarring to see conspiracy theories about government-sponsored sexual grooming of children. And for a core member (operator?) of the site to cheer it on as "Great Comment!"

Not something I realized about that community when I used them some years back to find & experiment with "Hmmm, can I get a responsive RDP connection to a desktop (lxde) running on a $7.50/year black friday vps deal?" (The answer was yes, yes I could. Surprisingly functional & a fun little playground, albeit not with any vendor I would trust for stability or security for any real purpose, unless that purpose was scammy spambots or something)

I hope that with generative AI and LLM everyone will have professor for any subject in their laptop and wont need expensive and useless college degree.

Why have thousands colleges and employ thousands of professors (and useless admin people) who teach the same textbook subject and gove same homework assignments? Not even mentioning completely useless and unrelated to higher education industry of “college athletics”.

Something decentralized and local, with focus on self-learning, group learning, peer tutoring, and AI will make Harvard quality education accessible and almost free for anyone. It will be a matter of personal effort and skills to learn and obsorb such knowledge

This will be possible in a few years 100%
For the hundredth time, at least, I hereby ask The Web to standardize a meta tag that programmatically describes a site's acceptable password policy.

The fake reason is to assist password generators.

The real reason is to make it easier to name and shame the sites with the most ridiculous password policies.
Nobody is saying that there are no random assaults, they are saying that without data on what percentage of the attacks were completely random, we can't make assumptions that an increase in total number of assaults equates to an increase in total number of random assaults.

Citation needed? How do you measure being far more social?
The main selling points for Ansible and similar tools is that its automated, reproducible and can be audited via version control.

In a typical cloud deployment, you can have many servers and you need to quickly configure them and deploy software. Doing it manually through SSH may not scale and can be error prone. So, automation helps and as a bonus you get to leverage existing expertise.

While many of the ready made scripts do get the work done for standard tasks, I've seen lot of custom scripts depending on the environment and business needs. So, its a mix.

In practice, this means being able to run MacOS on them. All the hardware is already there, it's just a matter of time until Apple has the "courage" to enable it.
Yeah I ended up going for a MacBook Air for this reason.
I was as social as one could be while drunk and am as solitary as a hermit now that I'm sober. I miss the social life at times, but really, as Tolstoy remarks, it was just an escape from my true nature which I hadn't yet figured out. And what a mess that was.

So yes, its a social thing, but is it good? It's something. There are other ways.
Would work fine if you could actually locally develop instead of using a web browser.
Or if you and your partner are traveling together, you might lose your only set of house keys that way. I can't imagine getting home after a traumatic experience only to have to effectively break into your own house and then have new keys made or the locks rekeyed because you can't wait for the FAA to give you the backpack the keys were in.
Right, and the goal is to be able to easily deploy the same thing. Every time you SSH into a server and install something, you may not be getting the same packages due to updates or packages becoming unavailable. If you’re using an image, most likely you can easily tear stuff down and re-deploy it. Also you’ve got the code used to build the image and can modify it if necessary.

I haven’t used a Linux laptop in a while. Is there any that’s competitive to MBP M2 in terms of processing power and battery life?
I’ve been working on an MBP M1 for ~1 years now and I’ve yet to hear the fan working or feel the heat (to be fair, it’s a work laptop and most development happens in the cloud). If only for this reason I find it hard to buy anything other than MBPs for work, unfortunately.
Indeed, this should be the title. Not clickbait enough, tho.
Yeah it goes from like 60% (after 'fees' for printing for the paperback) to like 40%. So selling my book for $19.99 nets me about $3 or $4 per sale. If I did 'wide distribution', that would be maybe $1-2.
Just another way landscape preference can be expressed!
You haven’t used a Mac laptop recently I assume.
If you subscribe to this, it's easy to see how drinking can be a vicious feedback loop. You drink, do whatever that is you do, then feel "ashamed" after you sober up, then drink more just to dull your view.

Many spiral out of control like this without their families or coworkers even knowing how far astray from the "path" directed by the conscious compass they are.

Another interesting point is that "stupefiers" allow you to do things your "conscience" wouldn't allow you otherwise. Tolstoy brings up things like murdering or stealing, but there are also beneficial things like socializing or creative process.

Yet, regardless of the positives, it seems like the health detriments of alcohol are becoming more and more accepted by society. I noticed that less and less younger people drink these days, and I'm seeing more and more N/A options in bars and stores, at least in some parts of the U.S.

MacBookPros have been pretty much for the past decade+ the undisputed leader of rugged hardware design. Nobody else to my knowledge sells machined unibody laptops at a competitive price point. (Only half jokingly posting this hoping somebody can't help to attempt to prove me wrong)
Thanks! It's a cool idea and giving a user the ability to specify the words, but let the algo choose their locations might be an easy extension to try out. The behavior you describe can then be met. I've added it to my personal backlog, cheers!

BTW, grid neatness isn't a limitation itself, the size and complexity (overlaps, large words) are. Also I already do symmetry checks, so helping users generate symmetric grids shouldn't be too hard.
Perhaps the payments were to appease the powerful slave owners so that another civil war does not happen. It was not done for some sort of moral duty or obligation.

The slaves had no power, and this would not pose threat of civil unrest.

This is a very common theme in neuro-divergent communities. Used occasionally it can be great, but if you become dependent on it, it is trouble.

In that sense it reminds me of Alan Watts writings on LSD. Get the message and then go away and work on it, don't get fixated on getting the message. As a transient thing some drugs are neat, but to become dependent on them is a dangerous thing.
What about the citizens not running those businesses? This may not exactly be a "great firewall", but it seems like your argument could be applied equally to that, and it's hard for me to believe it's really a "good" for citizens in general
I'm reminded of a recent interview with Chris Latner about the success of Swift - he credits the success to the fact that you could start with a large objective C project and begin writing Swift without rewriting anything. Part of Rust's success is off the back of a similar compatibility with C/C++.

It is difficult for me to imagine Zig succeeding without a similar capability - which is to say I hope they do not follow through on this milestone.
no I've just been using arm64 devices for like 6 years now and the advantages of the m1/m2 are present in any laptop or tablet that is arm64.

endless battery, fanless design, excellent performance for the kinds of tasks a developer does.

only downside is the m2 is probably faster in cpu/compilation times for certain things because of how fast it is

It is said that drugs like alcohol are bad solutions to bad problem.
The whole economy is indeed nonzero sum, but the topic is not the entire economy, but allocation of limited dollars between different groups. It is zero sum here in this limited context.
Alcohol doesn't exist for socializing, though it does make socializing easier. Correlation does not equal causation.

No, alcohol exists for a very simple reason: Clean and sanitary beverage.

Lest we forget, alcohol is alcohol. It is by its very nature sanitary and safe to drink, which is why humanity has long consumed it. Safe and clean drinking water in abundance is a fairly modern phenomenon, and it's still only available in a small part of the world at large.

Given that, alcohol satisfies both aforementioned activities.

Producing and consuming alcohol is harmonious with conscience, that is the desire to "do right" both for yourself and your peers, because beverages that are safe to drink is critically important to yourself and everyone.

It is also denying the brutal reality of the world we live in, that is to say we hide from our desire to "do right" because producing and consuming alcohol is easier than ensuring clean and safe drinking water while achieving the same practical goal.

Alcohol obviously has its problems, but they are far better than ones incurred from drinking foul water.
When I was at IBM and RedHat did the "CentOS"-move, IBM-execs was actually pretty pissed off. It was bad optics and RedHat did it on their own, while IBM got "the blame". This is probably more of the same stuff. They think they can get away with being asshats and people will just blame IBM.

We see you, RedHat. You are NOT on the right path.

My iPad 12.9 is larger and heavier than my 13.6 Macbook Air and the screen is comparable in size. Not sure I buy your small screen argument.
Personally, one solution is to subsrcibe for Nebula + CurisoityStream bundle to support creators (bought 2 subscriptions for me and friend) https://curiositystream.com/?coupon=nebula and use something like PeerTube for the rest of the stuff.

Youtube have great catalogue of the lectures and other educational material, so it is still kinda irreplaceable
Usually no. Sometimes, when you need to debug something, e.g network problem or run some tests - you do SSH, but solely for debugging purposes, and not for configuring / installing software.

For VMs you build image with everything baked in (think packer) or use cloud-init and do that on the fly on top base Linux image.
For other apps serverless or sort of k8s solution.

Then Terraform or Pulumi to configure and push above to the cloud and maintain state.
> but employers aren't going to tell you they're digging into your personal life or why you were turned down for the job.

So I don't learn why I didn't get a job I definitely wouldn't want. Perhaps not the ideal outcome, but not far from it. I really don't understand what the problem is here.

Would I prefer if I accidentally ended up working for an awful person because I never gave them a chance to reveal their awfulness? Absolutely not. I don't want to work for an awful person even if they never get a chance to be awful to me personally.

> even [if] you know it's happening you're still influenced by manipulation

I reject your framing but to the extent there's any truth to it, I'm going to be manipulated by ads no matter what. Given that, I'd rather be manipulated by ads that are better targeted to me. This is an important point — manipulation is mostly orthogonal to targeting. Especially since hyper-targeting quickly becomes overtly creepy and loses its manipulativeness.

Considered holistically, there's no downside for me being targeted rather than broadcasted. In fact if targeting means that a company's customer acquisition costs are lower, there's a non-zero chance it could result in me paying a lower price for something I would have bought anyway.
intergenerational wealth through housing, let me tell you about that. My Grandparents owned two home most of the proceeds form their sale went to paying off their debt. You see as life expectancy's have gone up as has medical cost only much more. Sure my grandfather lived till his late 80 when his father and grandfather died to hearth attacks in their early sixties but the various surgeries and treatment for my grandparent ate all but a fraction of that. My parent spent more money taking care of my grandfather and grandmother in their final years than they inherited, and quiet possibly will have to do it again when my last remaining grandparent is no longer able to afford her retirement home and medication after the proceeds of her house sale run out. And I will have to do it for my parent when their turn comes. There isn't some real-estate driven wealth transfer for the middle class anymore. Its transferred to hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers.
Even if this was technologically feasible, maybe the cost would be prohibitive. It would be much cheaper to not build the dam in the first place or close it, or just build alternative energy sources (solar, wind, etc.)
