YouTube brought this on themselves by ratcheting up the ads like crazy. Back in the day I preferred YT because they were one of the only video sites that didn't have preroll ads. YouTube used to basically have adsense ads and little banners below the video for years. Unobtrusive and I didn't mind them at all.

Then they added postroll ads. Then preroll ads. Then midroll ads. With these ads I find YouTube unusable for any period of time.
You mean, setting up a computer with image recognition to listen to RSS feeds (multiple of https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=WHATEVER), go to the videos in the feeds when new ones show up, and record only non-ad sections to a capture card? You would then be able to watch the videos ad-free from a USB stick or SSD at a later time.

Sell your iPhone, buy a traditional (not-smart) phone. If you don´t have self control to stop this behavior by yourself then you need some drastic move.
Because what you paid is far less ( think 10x) than what it takes to run.

It's "possible" to code now with GitHub Codespaces, which leverages VS Code for Web and has pretty good usability on the iPad, and there are a few less-conveinent ways to run the VS Code Web interface hosted on your own computer (e.g. Blink Shell: https://docs.blink.sh/advanced/code )

An ipad to be used with an external keyboard is a very suboptimal typing experience - there is usually no strong hinge to hold up the screen at arbitrary angles.

In my experience this also means you can't 'pick up' the system by the keyboard to move it around (which I do with my laptop all the time) so it feels super-awkward.

For drawing with the pencil, sure it's a great experience but if you need to output a ton of text it's not even close
hosted vscode, github codespaces etc - coding on ipad is very much possible.
> Black Americans were quite clearly discriminated against as a group.

Black Americans were not. American descendants of slaves were. Black immigrants do very well in American society. “Controlling for age, education, and disability, the wages of second-generation Nigerian Americans have reached parity with those of third- and higher generation whites.” (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/23780231211001...). That’s a critical distinction. Obama did not suffer the generational effects of slavery and segregation any more than Trump or Biden.

Affirmative action at places like Harvard is mostly not being used to help the people—the descendants of Americans an slaves—who are invoked to justify the policy: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2023/2/17/michaela-harvar....
Yes? It's 2023, not all code has to be run locally.
I am not 100% sure what you are trying to say, but I think you are implying that since no one single solution can solve the climate crisis, then olivine could be part of a portfolio of solutions that each could help a bit.

If that's what you are trying to say, then no. Olivine still does not make sense. One ton of olivine can absorb about one ton of CO2. That means that if we produce and distribute 500 million tons of olivine, we can reduce emissions by 1%. But take a look for about 5 seconds around you. See how many things made of plastic you can identify. No matter where you are, there are dozens or hundreds of them in the same room as you. Well, all the humanity produces only about 400 million tons of plastics. Probably thousands of factories churn out plastics day and night, employing millions of people. If you replicate that in order to produce olivine, it's going to take decades, all for the ultimate result of reducing emissions by 1%. Does that make sense?

I can recite for you right now 20 things that can have a much bigger impact and require much less effort. And you can too.

This rings true. I went to a reasonably well known engineering school, so...some selection for ADHD folks. As someone diagnosed with ADHD young, it was frightening to see how many of my fellows were 1) clearly struggling with ADHD, and 2) were destructively self-medicating with alcohol (or worse). And it hasn't stopped. Decades later there's still those folks who are hammered at every social function and a good percentage of them I think "yeah...self medicating the noise in their head". I certainly understand the appeal (I'm no tea-totaller), but long-term, booze is a work-around, not a solution.
Yes. I am convinced that's the only sure to work answer. Remove the device entirely.
I’ve owned ipads for a long time and their productivity benefits compared to my Mac and iphone has never improved over the years. This year I’m selling my last ipad and won’t buy again until Apple throws a “real” OS at the thing.

one of the worst things about ios is that files get copied for each app. Say I download a PDF in the Documents app and want to annotate it. As soon as I open it with NoteX, a copy of the PDF is created in NoteX folder. this results in a chaotic situation, in terms of files and hierarchies.
Would be nice if you could install it without flatpak.
Exactly! That strikes me as the biggest problem with the Vision Pro that is consistently overlooked: by running what appears to be an iPadOS derivative, its usefulness will be mostly limited to web browsing with Safari.

Being able to code in multiple VR monitors while traveling actually sounds like a good potential use case that Apple has locked themselves out of with their crippled OS.

2. Enter an call for bids, which is required after a limit is reached.
I think you may be missing the point of the criticism.

its obvious that remotely editing code is possible, but why would you spend so much money on something that is basically a remote desktop machine?

couldn't you use a much cheaper device for the same purpose
The Magic Keyboard does solve these concerns (although you should probably wait for a sale)
First paragraph :D

> The New Jersey Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that law enforcement must obtain a wiretap to force near-simultaneous disclosure of private social media postings

I don't think you're correct to limit it to just DMs, as a private group on Facebook would - to me - be conceptually similar to a clubhouse (or hell even a "business" as MLMs on FB are called :D) or some such. You don't lose the warrant requirement just because it's a group of people vs just 1:1.
Bagisto's performance has been outstanding. The platform is built on a solid foundation, ensuring fast loading times and seamless navigation.
I’ve been testing the MPT models and they’re better than all the other open source stuff I’ve tried. I’m using my task-based, one-shot prompts that are about 1-2K tokens. Seems pretty on par with GPT-3.5. Marketing or whatever, first time I’ve been at all impressed.
I switched from Motorola to OnePlus after the former began shipping bloat ware by default. There's a little bloatware in OnePlus but it's not too bad.
I mean, you can run actual Linux applications on those. Only limit is gonna be the mostly crappy hardware. Although I guess that could be to the benefit of everyone actually using your software.
> I do wonder if the price point of youtube premium is too high to capture an audience that simply doesn't want ads

It's this plus the fact that I get virtually no value-add with YouTube. I have to fight with its algorithmic recommendations more than I would ever want to if I were paying any money for the service. I also don't want YouTube Music and would like it completely removed from my YouTube experience altogether. My music listening is done through a separate universe using my own collection.

I would happily pay money for a service that could provide the videos I watch regularly with a reasonable recommendation system that worked for me. And it needs to be priced for basically what it is: network egress.
Consultancies could hire all the "rockstar" developers they want, but their culture is around generating billable hours, not building great software. A developer on the Scrum/Jira treadmill, working on one ticket at a time, will not have the leeway to step back and look at solutions holistically and come up with a better approach.
>3. Google made nearly $70 billion in Q1; they're not hurting at all, especially their executives.

This is disgusting. Google's executives do an incredible amount of valuable work, easily thousands of times more than other employees, and deserve rich compensation packages. People need to be willing to pay a lot for Premium, or watch more ads, so that these executives can afford bigger yachts.

Why do you hate rich people so much?

This is true. While Virginia is a purple state, there are countless instances all over America where undemocratic and unpopular policies are being rammed through. At some point, people must do more than vote when they are ignored.
> that was 100% an FBI sting operation ... Never would have happened if it weren't for the feds.

No, it never would have happened unless he wanted to kill three people and paid to have it done. In his mind he wanted people dead and was willing to outsource it, at no point did he say "oh lol I bet you are totally kidding but I am going to pay you anyway."
At least 720p if a screencast is involved (educational videos). 480p screen text often becomes nearly unreadable mush.
86 years old might actually be relevant. An uncomfortable truth is that an uncomfortable fraction of our behavior is actually simple neuro-physical and not really a good basis for defining character. There was a case of a man, no criminal record, live a perfect life, upstanding member of his community, living in a nursing home. One day he had a stroke. After the stroke, he raped someone else in the nursing home. Again, live his whole life not being a rapist, up until the point where he had a bit of brain damage.

The question of his guilt is a very uncomfortable topic. If some rapists are simply brain damaged, are not guilty on account of not being capable of being in control in the first place, are any of them guilty? At what point are you in control enough of your own neuro-chemistry to be responsible for what it does? Is anyone really responsible for anything?

In the brain, like in anything, the most complex functions are the most fragile. Poke a few random neurons with a stick you're more likely to get a high-abstraction failure like speech or consciousness than you are to get a low level failure like forgetting to breath. Human sexuality and social behaviors are at least complex enough to be fragile. Fragile enough to be noticeably different in some people on drugs or with brain damage.

So who knows, maybe the slow deterioration of faculties for someone 86 years old really does matter.

I'll still just use vscode in multiple windows :)))

you can't stop us all, apple!
It would be great if the iPad could be used for local development, but outside of static markup, I don't see that happening until Apple allows virtualization environments.

The sheer number of tools a developer needs to install for most modern stacks is non-trivial and its hard to fathom how a modern development stack would work on a system as restricted as iOS.

But, if you want a small, fast, lightweight device with great battery life there's the Macbook Air. It's the same chip.

>The #2 reason I considered the iPad was because Apple had announced at WWDC 2021 that their Swift Playgrounds app would be updated to support SwiftUI and be able to release complete iOS apps on Apple's AppStore.
These News orgs haven’t adapted. They’re sitting around publishing long winded, biased stories on their shitty Wordpress implementation with sketchy ads wondering why they’re failing.

I’d happily pay good money for high quality news / journalism presented appropriately for the medium. That means a lot of concise real time information, coupled with long form discussion and debate. All packaged up in a modern, high quality web app, with auxiliary mobile applications.
Let's consider this quote

"All human life, we may say, consists solely of these two activities: (1) bringing one’s activities into harmony with conscience, or (2) hiding from oneself the indications of conscience in order to be able to continue to live as before."

Note that he has defined all of life as two points about "one" and "oneself". This is why I and I assume many others roll their eyes.

Because Tolstoy, and most essays about alcohol, don't even mention what I think is the point of alcohol. It's a drug that makes it easier to socialize, and socializing is very, very good for people. So good that I will risk it, even though alcohol is bad in many ways: bad for physical and mental health, risky for abuse, etc.

If you are anti alcohol, that is reasonable, but it seems no one will ever admit what it's really for.

This is important, because alcohol is unhealthy and if you want to discourage it, give people other low effort ways to connect.
The iPad Pro has a better keyboard, amazingly. The air is too shallow, at least the m2 anyway. The m1 airs and pros had better keyboards
I have both — I’d love the to use iPad as a secondary travel machine, since it’s far lighter and also was much less expensive. But sadly it really can’t be used for much beyond light web browsing.
Does your smart toaster have a form factor and portability that leads you to suspect it could be a useful coding device? I can't say I've found the two to be equally useful in all situations... like, I'm personally way more comfortable using my iPad in the bath than my toaster.
yeah that was some weak bait by apple. give us xcode already!
This. And a note to myself: get a 15" next time.
In my experience, iPad + keyboard works okay for coding if you SSH into a remote machine [1] and use a terminal-based text editor like emacs or vim. Alternatively, you can use a Git client [2] to code locally but that prevents you from using your preferred text editor or the command line. In theory, Visual Studio Code for the Web [3] could work too though I haven’t tried that approach personally.

I first experimented with iPad coding around 2013 and have tried it periodically since. I haven’t noticed a dramatic improvement in the coding experience over the past decade: Even today, iPad coding just “okay” and not great because laptops are still more versatile at windows management.

I found YouTube Music surprisingly full-fledged. The library is not as complete as Spotify or Apple Music of course, but, you also get the user uploads, which is a much more reliable resource for those few odd tracks.

With Premium you also get to minimize the YouTube app on the phone. It's nice for talks and discussions that are not uploaded as podcasts.

This is the second time I've seen this today. I'm a hobbyist hacker and do small projects. I'm still SSHing into servers to install and configure things. How does it work with cloud infrastructure... Do you not SSH into your server in the cloud and install things? Do you just rely on ready-made scripts to run what you need?
-- You won’t get all of the benefits of also learning a lisp, but you’ll get a lot of the ones which generalize well.

> The Quake engine was also released under the GPL, and went on to be highly influential, serving as the basis for dozens of games, including time-honored favorites such as the Half Life series. Large swaths of the gaming canon were made possible thanks to the generous contributions of free software game publishers.

This seems misleading. Half-Life was released in 1998, but the Quake engine's source code wasn't released under the GPL until 1999, so presumably Valve had a non-Free Software license to use the code.

Yes, it's a bit frustrating, especially for headers with inline/macro code. And for headers, requiring C23 doesn't seem sensible for quite some time. I define a macro:

#ifdef __cplusplus
# define ZERO_INIT {}
#else
# define ZERO_INIT {0}
#endif

Works for arrays, aggregates, scalars, etc., but I just use it for arrays and aggregates: `char buf[32] = ZERO_INIT; struct X x = ZERO_INIT;`
> Maybe a future potential employer doesn't like how often you visit bars, or what church you attend, and you are passed over for a job you want.

Take this as my opinion only, and I appreciate that some people don't have the luxury of this opinion, but for me there is zero Venn diagram overlap between jobs I want and employers who are as creepily obsessed with my private life as that.

> Maybe that data is used by advertisers to more effectively manipulate you into parting with more of your money.

If you want to frame advertising as manipulation, then I suppose so. Personally I don't see it that way. If I see an advertisement for something I want and I end up buying it, that isn't any more manipulative than seeing a particularly attractive banana in the supermarket and buying it.

Advertisements are a way for people who make things or do things to find people who want those things. Successful advertising isn't a bad thing so long as it isn't dishonest. I think if there's a 1% chance that I'm more likely to become aware of a product that actually interests me, I see that as a win for me. I have finite money and I'd rather spend it on things I want more than things I want less.

> I hope that you never suffer a consequence

I'll happily wear that risk. I greatly prefer it to the alternative, which is the guaranteed suffering which results from being obsessively paranoid.
Waze was not the first crowd sourced navigation app. I remember those from many years ago on my PalmOS Treo, long before the iPhone was invented. I was an active member of that community.

Google bought Waze mostly to shut down the competition, while stealing the most profitable bits.
With M1 this was something that people hoped would happen. But right now all I use my iPad for is binge watching in my bed. I’ve owned an M1 air for a year and that’s literally all I do with it. If I had a TV in my room the utility of the iPad would be zero for me.
Indeed.

You say this but there's a lot of unreasonable people around.

There's always someone who has cobbled together a workflow on an ipad for whatever they're doing relying on like 5 different commercial applications and a bunch of sacrifices just to approximate what they'd get if they just used a macbook/windows/linux instead. And when you try to point this out to them they get defensive and basically pull the "everyone is entitled to their own opinion" argument except replace "opinion" with "arbitrarily kneecapped workflow"
