But isn’t that the point of the article? The iPad works great for the things you want to do on it because Apple has decided to support those workflows (or you have been able to adjust your own practices to suit the device). But on a Mac (or Windows, or Linux), no-one needs to think ahead for your use case. Someone can just build software that enables it.

Software development is a much less niche area than podcast recording but one that is equally unsupported on the iPad. I doubt many are itching to swap their dev machines for an iPad, but given the hardware it sure would be nice if I could tinker with stuff on the sofa. But no amount of workarounds or developer ingenuity would enable that because Apple has decreed that I cannot run arbitrary code, or run a local server.
If they don't have paid time off then clearly they don't value it. Any state legislature could pass legislation creating that rule. Maybe let people democratically choose their own rules
Registering a domain and hosting a phishing website usually comes at a small price (around 10$) which is just 1% of the VMC (I just learned that).

“Expensive” is very subjective, I think it highly depends on the financial standard of the actor and the expected value.

In the case of Apple: if it is expected to aid in phishing an interesting iCloud user, or scamming 100 users for 10$, then I expect that there will be actors that will pay this initial cost to make more later on.

I agree that the classic mass-mail LQ phish actors would probably not go here, but the same holds for smaller organizations. With the current price-tag, end users then still have to trust non-BIMI and BIMI verified e-mails daily.

That seems to leave plenty room for phishing. Also, if VMC prices drop, it will also attract more phish actors.

Though I see your point, I do not think that a financial bar is effectively combatting phishing.

I do not know how valid the paper trail concern is; I haven’t gone through the VMC procedure(s).
I can't speak for him, but I find m iPad incredibly useful. I sign and review documents quickly, tap out emails on the go, watch movies or TV shows, use it as a reference screen if I'm in a rack and need diagrams, manuals etc.

Like most modern computing devices (laptops, phones, smart watches, etc) it has crossover functionality with some devices but not in all cases, and in some it is the superior device for varying reasons.
Good point. I forgot about these scratchpad locations. One of my first assembly programs was a reverse scroll functions. Depending on the paddle controller it shifted also one char left/right. Two char spaced apart on each line served boundaries for a street and the car was two stationary char in the middle (depending on the paddle controller pointing left, ahead or right). Due to lack of assembler the whole was hand coded. Due to limited access to the computer it was all written out on paper first.
I am European: our wages are much, much lower than our American tech counterparts, without taxes double, with taxes we're on average making a third of them. And that's same cost of living.

Yes, but not touch.
as a predominantly self taught engineer(with almost 20yrs of experience mind you, 10 of which were grinding through junior and entry level skill) the only advise i can give is the 80/20 law works here in learning too: focus 80% of your educational efforts into something you are actually interested in, spend the other 20% on important but absolutely personally loathesome topics. master each as best you can as you move through them. Be prepared to never stop learning new idioms, processes and embrace the change that comes with it.

all i got.

edit: topics never change for a base layer: data structures, bigO notation, DRY, proper testing - are the most important concepts to master asap and lay the groundwork for everything else.
Your suspicion of people mentioning rocket scientists in a Space X post raises some suspicions.
If you are a parent you need to save this money and pay it. Some students sue their parents for that every year in Germany (most know they have an obligation). Google it. For the family this is a real cost.
Whenever this kind of topic arises there is always someone that has worked a bit on 3D geometry, that comes to school mathematicians and physicists on what they are missing out for not using geometric algebra. Usually with a weird tinge of conspiracy theory and cultish behavior mixed in.

They are not missing out, they are aware of geometric algebras and the work of David Hestenes. They instead prefer to use exterior algebra and Clifford algebras as a generalization. There is no conspiracy theory or large-spread ignorance by the physics/mathematics community. Geometric algebra feels like introducing a quirky notation to talk about the same concepts, with no clear added conceptual or computational benefit. So most people ignore this approach.

As I'm not particularly well-versed in the historical elements of this affair, nor I have much interest on them, I googled quickly and found this pertinent answer by John Baez: https://www.physicsoverflow.org/42912/geometric-algebra-geom...
It's also a benefit to the consumer in the option of cheaper tea - you can still have choose to pay more for loose leaf.
Pick one university and do their core CS track with the materials available. Like CMU, Berkeley, MIT, Stanford, etc. Then start building stuff and learning from more advanced CS and math courses/books/papers.
For me I have a 17" laptop and the tablet is convenent in various cases (planes, media consumption, whipping out much quicker than my laptop as it's lighter, smaller and simpler).
That’s the entire reason for such policies. If it was coupled with coupled with truly top of market expectations (ie six weeks, including an annual 3 week vacation) I think it would be a fair trade off. But it often is not.
The only case i encountered a rule like this was at a bank that is a customer of my employer. full-time employees must take 2 weeks of consecutive vacation and they are not permitted to access the systems in that time(for this period logins are disabled). But thats an company policy, that was introduced after an scandal.
Then what exactly is your point? That people require money to live? My parents spent exactly $0 on my education, as every student gets a grant of around €3000/m, and you can get a low interest student loan for the rest.
I too like my hacking projects with a bit of violence on the side. Nothing gets the nerd in me going better than someone getting assaulted on the street. Especially if there's a political connection -- oh man I'm feeling so productive already!

My (wrong) intuition on reading your comment was that you were over-estimating the expected growth in performance over that time period, but actually after checking the maths based on Moore's Law, i.e. doubling every two years (though of course I understand that was a rough estimate, more of a concept prediction than expected to be precise) you're right so I'll share the maths for anyone else whose intuition might be as poor as mine:

Doubling every 2 years = compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of ~41.42%

CAGR = ((End Value / Start Value)^(1 / Number of Years)) - 1

((2 / 1)^(1 / 2)) - 1 = 0.41421356237

Therefore in 34 years since then:

1 * (1 + 0.41421356237)^34 = ~131,072

So x30k is ~4.4x less than 131k. Then again, that's equivalent to ~x1.833 every two years, compared to Moore's Law of x2 every two years, so only ~8% less growth per two years, which coming back to the fact that Moore's Law is a rough estimate concept not an exact fact, doesn't seem to far off!

That's right next to where I live, the city also installs slingers across the street for free if you ask for it.

My main problem is once you have plants dogs start pissing on your walls and door. And apparently their owners did it normal.

The plants that can tolerate that are mostly full sun so not suited at my place, so the ground ends up barren with piss stains on the wall. But climbing plants are fine and pretty nice.
Fair. It’s a business product that’s anti-consumer

> why would you expect a tablet to substitute for a general computing platform?

it already is one, just with an OS that locks down its ability to function as one

why would you expect the OS to do that when it could also give the user the option to use the general computing platform as a general computing platform?
Exactly, I got into quite a heated discussion with a company that offered me a job with "unlimited PTO". They wanted me to sign in the contract with a clause along the lines of "you have unlimited PTO within reason". The whole point of contracts is that you have to explicitly define what is deemed "reasonable". I insisted they put a number to it and they refused.

Needless to say, I didn't accept the job in the end.

Consecutive sick days. If you got in the icu because of corona for 5 weeks and the month after that because you got into a car crash for 4 weeks the employer has to pay for all the 9 weeks.
Sort of the same in France, or at least the employer is largely pushed to do so. If you don't take 12 consecutive days of vacations between May and October (among other conditions), you get 2 extra days of vacations, for free. It's called 'jours de fractionnement'

> Meanwhile, Samsung has had Dex for a few years now, and it works great. It's included on any midrange product and up and it feels like what you would expect from "what happens when I plug my phone/tablet into a USB C dock".

It is a lot more convenent to carry an iPad with a magic keyboard than to carry a USB-C dock, keyboard and mouse though.
And what of the audiences that own no consoles but game on their phones? Non-mobile game sales are already a footnote by comparison. It should be little surprise that there are people who have not heard of factorio but have heard of mindustry simply due to what people are exposed to.

Having to buy a FOSS VCS as an add on is kind of proving the point that the iPad’s closed software ecosystem is really holding the fantastic hardware back.
Only Apple iPads as far as I could see, but by no means only the most expensive or newest. Non-Apple tablet devices really are not often seen in the UK (some convertible PCs, the occasional Samsung tablet).

If you spend a lot of time on public transport, an iPad isn't really that much of a luxury item. It's a really pragmatic choice, and at least in the UK an entry-level or recent secondhand iPad is not much more expensive than the cheapest usable alternative.

Most seats on British trains are not at tables, and while many (by no means all, depends on the operator) have a seatback tray table, it is generally not the right shape for all but the smallest laptop, and the proportions are not such that they work well with convertible PCs that use screen-cover keyboards.

We really get crammed into trains.

An iPad is large enough to read a book or emails even if you are stuck without a seat, the on-screen keyboard is practical enough to write reasonable emails or edit small documents on, watch a film on, etc.

So is a very cost effective way to make use of what might be 2+ hours of every working day.

(Train travel is pretty expensive over any distance, too. An entry level iPad is only about ten times the cost of an ad-hoc journey into London from where I am -- and that's only an hour away.)
Clifford Algebra is basically just Geometric Algebra, except with complex numbers shoved into where there ought to be real numbers... because no Mathematician could ever resist doing so.

As a programmer / physicist, the analogy I use is that if I had to represent an 8-dimensional parameter as an array, I would write:

double foo[8];

but a mathematician would be unable to resist writing:

complex foo[4];

They're the same, but the latter is more complex (hah!) for no real (haha!) benefit.

It's easy to sit on this kind of high horse when you yourself are not a target of fascist aggression.

This is a wonderful tool! If the author sees this, please note that the demo video is causing a lot of distraction (in this thread) from your brilliant creation.
What happens when profits corrupt the healthcare system. Body scans and yearly checkups don't work because they're healthcare theater primarily set to sell reassurance. We should be spending money on money-saving prophylaxis of common, treatable diseases like CHD and screening all body systems for function and decline. PAC and CT angios lack evidence but they're the obvious tools to assess coronary artery state before there's a problem, rather than waiting until a patient has a heart attack and dies.
On top of that, there are roles in FAANG companies and Silicon Valley that give ~5 weeks PTO. For example, Facebook historically has had a fairly good PTO policy in the US, and for the past several years gives at least 23 days (plus there's the whole extra month off every 5 years). I heard that as a result of that, Google had to increase their PTO in recent years.
Your comparison is completely wrong. Not getting into specifics of rental prices, or student eating/socialising habits,

> Tuition at that time was 500 per semester for me

This is the number people talk about when they're talking about tuition costs for Americans. Everyone needs shelter and to eat, whether they're a student or an engineer at a FAANG.

It's $5-10k fo r community college depending on in or out of state. It's $10-$20k per year for a university for most, and if you look at a "top" university, it's significantly more.

University of Boulder which is a top-50-USA-university is just shy of $40k per year for tuition. Stanford is $55k, and UPenn (Which was the most expensive I could find) is $61k per year.
Higher pay gives you options like being able to take unpaid time off and still coming out ahead. That's more appealing than nebulous benefits.

Contract work is a fundamentally different proposition and equating it to employment is foolish.
It exists for casual, potentially older users, outside of dev/IT profession, to do grocery shopping and simple games on a couch while they watch TV after work.

I've never bought an iPad or found use for the one I was once given as a present, I have seen older people transition from using cheap crappy laptops to iPads with only positive feedback, probably because it's easier for them to use.

It's largely the same UI as their smartphone which they'll be familiar with by now, it's easier to pick up and put down, smaller form factor but not so small that they'd be pinch-zooming frequently as they would on a phone, etc.

Anecdotal but it makes sense. Also marginally easier for a layperson to hold an iPad up and show a partner what they're buying, than a laptop.

Personally, I'm in the industry, and I've been playing with computers for 27 years. I have a phone for reading stuff like this on the go, and a laptop for working on things home or at the office. I have no professional or recreational use for a tablet. I have a laptop and I'm very glad it doesn't have a touchscreen. But I can understand why non-laptop products exist.

Couple of other developers I know have iPads, but they have them in the same way they have an electric toothbrush — they didn't need it, but they bought it anyway. Mostly see them use it for browsing the web or shopping after work. I suppose if your stuff's at the office and you just want to cruise the web, an iPad is lighter than a personal laptop, but I just use my phone /shrug emoji.

Some illustrators I know have iPads but I'm pretty sure they'd survive without them. For actual work they have a proper setup (wacom, magic trackpad), and if you need to sketch something on the fly, pen and paper is still a functional and low-cost solution, as is a phone since you have one already for a dozen other reasons.

Designers don't need an iPad at all, mouse is sufficient.

This has to be the weirdest submission I've seen here, but I'll pick the raisins off the cake:

1. This is cool. Have been looking for something like this, having a few production systems that run FFMPEG on command line as part of pipeline. Does this run FFMPEG complied to WASM?

2. Live preview or some kind of "gallery" would enhance the visual exploration. For inserting subtitles, overlays etc with better iteration

3. The demo video being on the border of supporting violent thuggery is the weirdest misuse of such a placement. BigBuckBunny surely would do better (considering it's available in a ton of different formats, framerates, higher quality for further experimentation, too!).

Again with the weirdness, I am not sure this submission should have been accepted though. It's very weird seeing someone post something like this, it's like someone burning themselves to death while shouting TikTok memes. w h y
This is awesome. Well done. Could something like this be packaged for electron?
It's important to realize ascending to the level of engineer isn't only about knowledge of the tools. It's understanding why - not only how - in situations X or Y, you use tool Z as well as how it applies to the broader business / product context. Knowledge isn't power, Understanding Is Power.

Put another way, engineers are intentional. You have super powers - super powers *you* worked hard to acquire - and you are thoughtful and intentional about how you apply them.

"I'm intentional, therefore I engineer."

p.s. The fact that you're asking is a great sign. You're already on the right track.

I was born and educated in Scotland, worked in the UK for a decade or so, then moved to the US and worked for big tech for 15 years while living in the US and becoming a US citizen. I then chose to move back to Scotland, where I continue to work for the same US big tech company but get paid UK wages with UK employment benefits. So, I've lived significant portions of my life on both sides.

Here in the UK, I get 29 days paid vacation plus ten or so (not sure) public holidays. If I am sick on vacation, I can claim those days as sick days and regain the vacation time. Edit: plus, my contract is for 35 hours per week whereas in the US it was 40.

Regarding money, I am doing the same job that I was doing in the US (same team etc.) but took, what was at the time, a 25% reduction in gross salary. However, by the time you add in the higher taxes, my take home pay (from my salary - my stock awards are the same) is about 40% lower than it was in the US.

Now, I am nearing 50, my corporate career progression is plateauing/settled (by choice, btw) and I have a teenage daughter. A big reason for coming back to Scotland was so she could be educated here and experience European life and culture during her formative years. The other big reason was to have a better work-life balance. I have so much non-work time here, I can actually pursue non-work interests; whereas my US work colleagues seem to always be Slacking and "checking in" while they are on vacation; never seeming to have an identity beyond their job.

I have also lost 13kg (29lb) in weight.

For us techies, the US is the place to get rich, but, in my experience, there are significant lifestyle compromises that you must make in order to do so.

Edit: I was curious about the numbers, so I did a little arithmetic to work out the hourly wage I earned in the US and the hourly wage I earn here in the UK, taking into consideration the vacation days.

My UK gross per hour wage is between 11% and 15% lower than my US salary, depending on the (volatile) exchange rate. Of course, UK tax is much higher (my marginal rate is 49%). So, the difference in take-home pay is more than that.
A "non-technical person" is someone who is not skilled in technology, usually IT, not someone who knows nothing about technology. The fact that there exists nobody who knows nothing about technology is a good clue that the term doesn't mean that, or else it'd be a useless term, as you pointed out

> people are just “technical” in ways that IT folk don’t recognise.

yes, perhaps they can work an abacus, or throw a javelin, or arrange Skittles by color. Those are all technical, but they aren't what IT folks mean when they say technical vs non-technical, and are mostly useless technical skills in that context (e.g. if FAANG was looking for "technical person", they likely do not need help arranging Skittles)
