Is it really difficult to say “I have Spotify/Apple Music/Office 365, random other subscription. Let me download the same app on an Android phone”?

People have been using copy and paste to copy files from one drive to another since Windows 95. It works the same way with the Files app. You download the other storage provider’s app and they show up in the files app. Heck you can literally attach a USB drive to your iOS device and it shows up in the Files app like it would hold computer.

Syncing photos is as simple as downloading Google photos.

You can literally Google all of this stuff.

As far as it taking “a day”. It takes me about as long to set up a new Windows PC.

Does China have the technology and expertise to make 7nm lithography machines, or did they have to somehow import machinery from ASML?
It’s not a simple function of time and population. Fertility rate varies by country and more specifically by economic achievement. Population isn’t evenly distributed in either of those categories. We saw rapid gains due to China and then India modernizing. Now they are declining and peaked and its Africa’s turn but Africa is a continent made up of many countries in various states of development or regression which makes it very difficult to predict. If we take the happy path and all goes well with each country continuing to improve then they will peak quickly having the advantages of modern technology and three advanced economies investing in them.
>It's not exactly an easy problem (hence the existence of the book), but there do exist techniques for getting around it - speaking very generally, finding "seams" (places where the behaviour of the system can be modified without changing the source code), breaking dependencies, and gradually getting smaller and smaller units of the system into test harnesses.

These techniques are on the right track but they are outdated. They advocate making changes that are as small as possible (hence the seams thing) while covering the app with unit tests. Most of the advice centers around this maxim: change as little as possible.

What's the smallest amount of change you can make? Zero - i.e. running hermetic end to end testa over the app and changing no more than a couple of lines.

They dont advocate zero though. They advocate unit tests.

To be fair to these authors that option was not really viable when they first wrote the book. Instead of 200 15 second reliable playwright tests run across 20 cloud based workers completing in 3 minutes you were faced with the possibility of 24-48 hour flaky test suites running on one Jenkins server.

So, it probably made sense more often to take slightly larger risks to crack open some of those seams in pursuit of a test that was less flaky and ran in under a second rather than 2 minutes.

> a young man whose main motive for marriage is "so I don't regret not having kids when I'm old"

I was having dinner with my wife's parents, along with some folks from our common church. A congregant asked how I came to join up. I nodded to my in-laws and said 'I knocked up their daughter'.*

Which is how a lot of young men got into the parenting racket (and church).

I got my own apartment while I was still in HS, my apartment become sort of a perpetual lan party. Friends would often just leave their machines setup at my place while they went to work or school.

All machines were initially connected via coax ethernet, all sharing one 28.8 dialup connection.

A house like this was basically the most amazing thing any of us could have imagined back then.
It might be. I would get strange looks when I took my kids to the playground without my wife. They look like me, too.
The opposite appears to be more the story - why did Gates-Meta-FB Research put millions of dollars into post-doc methods to quantify "every school on Earth" or "population density of every 10km area on Earth" ?

First off, those are not your only options (nor your only OS options)

Second off, there is no reason to list the Thinkpad X13s as "barely works". It had better power-management and GPU drivers than Asahi on day-one. The same probably goes for the Surface Laptop, if it's also got a Snapdragon GPU.

Thirdly, according to Geekbench (and every resource I could find), the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 exceeds 50% of the M1's performance without a struggle:

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/2504172

https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/2490755

Making matters worse, the Snapdragon chip only maxes out at 9w, whereas Apple's chip will happily go to 30-40w during regular use. So, not only do you get better than the .5x M1, you get it with better battery life too!
rclone looks promising, but last time I tried it, it was very slow compared with sshfs.
There are currently around 3000 billionaires out of 8 billion people, about 1 in 2 million. Assuming billionaires have an average number of children, the proportion of population who is descended from them must double every generation, regardless of overall birth rates. The factor of 2 million is about 2^21, so we need 21 generations. A generation is about 25 years. So our final answer is about 525 years from now, i.e. around 2550.

This assumes that age of death retains the same bounds as currently. If old age is cured before 2550 then someone not descended from a 2023 billionaire might live until the end of the universe.
I’m can say that, for our family at least, adoption was an alternate route. There are many, many children here in the US who’s parents have died or who whose parents have had their parental rights terminated for cause. 8 years ago we adopted a 3 year old and a 7 year old, and the lack of biological link barely matters (it only comes up due to racial differences).

If you are a basically decent human and can support yourself and a child, give a look at adoption rather than having this regret for your lifetime.

That is, assuming the officially recorded parents are the actual biological parents. It's not nice to talk about in polite society, but sometimes people are mistaken about biological parenthood, most often fatherhood but sometimes motherhood too (think: babies swapped at the hospital).

:-)

That's sort of the point.

I learned all those editors (VMS EDT and RPED and LocoScript and Edlin and WordStar and WordPerfect and DisplayWrite and MultiMate and loads of BASIC editors, including the very strange RISC OS one, with two independent cursors) before I ever saw Vi for the first time, which was on SCO Xenix in about 1989 or so.

Vi was just another weird editor to me, a supercharged Edlin and you'd have to be mad to love Edlin.

So I learned the bare rudiments and moved on. Then a wave of standardisation happened across the industry, and I surfed it and it was great. Suddenly all mainstream editors used the same UI and it was so much easier.

Then [record scratch, fast forward] in 2014 I got a job in a Linux vendor and discovered all these rabid Vim enthusiasts in the 21st century. I was amazed. Later I got a job in a _different_ Linux vendor, where we had a significant presences of Emacs fans.

I never thought I'd meet keen Vi(m) users who weren't born yet when MS-DOS 5 got a full screen editor. I thought all that nastiness had gone away.

So, yes, there are these 2 camps who learned one set of UI, way back when, and love it: Vi users and Emacs users. I am not saying either is wrong. But there is another camp that doesn't know it's a camp: the millions of unknowing CUA users.

Emacs is meant to be the ultimate in configurability. Well configure it to look like an editor from the 1990s instead of the 1970s, and I'll try it.

But I'm not learning another new 1970s editor now, after 40 years of this stuff. Hard no.

I am not a programmer. I don't care how good it is for programmers. I write human language. I need an editor for that: Markdown, these days, mainly.
I think your model is a bit flawed - it’s likely value scales faster than linearly with increases in “smarter”.

So, while I philosophically agree that it’s obvious anyone with a billion dollars has not earned the vast majority of it, I also personally believe it’s slightly harmful to suggest that we should be paid in direct proportion to how hard we work.

There’s a lot more to be said on the topic, but I think the truth for “how much value can one person create; and how much of that value should they capture for themselves?” lies in-between “scales linearly with hard work and smartness” and “it’s great that they were able to capture a tiny $1B slice of the value they created in their lifetime”.
Ah the machine that goes “ping” This is my favourite. You see, we lease this back from the company we sold it to, and that way, it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.
I agree that HTML is not a good UI framework, but I’d be worried that it’ll get even worse with WASM cook-your-own. It’s certainly debatable how much is needed to be “good enough”, but I’d be surprised if it weren’t a downgrade from the standard of native desktop apps. And that’s not a UI future I’d want to live in, as a user.
Mesa-Optimization
> I'm looking for an ARM laptop. I'd settle for something with half the horsepower of an m1, running Linux, with fully functional drivers. Does such a thing exist?

It's surprising that there are few actual suggestions here, so I guess we're not quite there yet, at least as far as affordable mainstream options go? Props to Lenovo and others for trying, though.

I recall needing something similar a few years ago and just opting for an x86 netbook with an underpowered Celeron, something like this: https://techbite.eu/en/laptopy/laptop-zin-3-14-1 (probably just a rebrand of something else)

The battery life was great and it was dirt cheap, which I'd love to have with ARM and perhaps more RAM.

That particular model was just an example (build quality shows the budget segment and Wi-Fi drivers started working in Linux distros out of the box some time after the release), but I hope we'll have more budget computing options I'm the future! Maybe even RISC-V some day.
How are the different packages for the different *nix distros maintained? I see the link to repology, but that service only tracks the packages - who created the packages and where are they generated in the repo?

I'm surprised there's so many men that genuinely want kids. I've never had that desire, I know it's more commonplace in women. Most of my friends who have them were basically doing it for the wife even though they loved their kids when they appeared on the scene. But it was not something they would have chosen.

But anyway good for them. I'm glad I never had any and I have no regrets.
Quantifying Uncertainty in LM Answers via Intrinsic and Extrinsic Assessment
This is very country-dependent; in some they're actually quite common, in some they're extremely heavily restricted. In Ireland, say, you will require a legitimate reason to have one (essentially the only legitimate reasons are sports shooting, hunting, and certain farming activities), training, secure storage inspected and signed off on by the police, and permission from the police. In practice, it's so onerous that most people doing sports shooting would use a gun owned by the club. Automatic rifles are completely illegal to own, as are nearly all pistols (except for use by the military and by specialist police; ordinary police don't have firearms). Tasers etc are also effectively illegal to own (there being no legitimate sports/hunting/farming applications).

Oddly, crossbows are also restricted, though may be licensed as above; as I understand it this is due to a legislative error which no-one has gotten around to fixing.
> You don't make 2 billion dollars just by doing honest work for 94 years.

It is absolutely possible to make that (and more) by doing honest work.

Other reasons someone can vastly outperform others:

- more leverage from one's work (e.g. plumbing vs. software engineering, or starting a business that employs 100 people rather than sole proprietorship)

- higher demand for one's skills

- capitalize on luck (e.g. he had very influential connections early on that he leveraged)

- ambition

- risk taking

- etc.
Yes... but the paradox of tolerance also exists.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Viewpoints that include the eradication of a specific race or peoples are largely incompatible with modern society. These people welcome the attention a "debate" provides because it elevates their platform. The best course of action would typically be ignoring them, but our current media platforms thrive on this controversy. There are also some people who pride themselves on being unsteerable, and incitement is the point (the numerous mass shooters in the US claiming to attempt a race war).

I think the "punch a nazi" rhetoric mostly exists because of frustration of watching an uptick in white supremacy and the general feeling that an individual can't do anything about it.

I learned this lesson the hard way.
The main lesson I got out of it that you need to marry a billionaire's sister.

Without the right connections, you get very few opportunities and even when you see a mediocre opportunity, you seize it as if it's your last.

But with the right connections, it seems like amazing opportunities just fall on your lap and whatever ones you choose will yield great results. Surely it's not difficult to succeed in such situation.
Devil's advocate: the answer to that is that perfect is the enemy of good. Most "bad guys" are pretty dumb and won't bother using actually secure communication channels especially if messengers keep advertising that they do end-to-end encryption. And even for those who do care enough, most of them aren't all that tech-savvy and will make mistakes.

All that to say that a ban doesn't have to be 100% effective to make a meaningful difference.
Perhaps, I know around 5-6 agencies that have made this work.

I don't think they underestimate the effort or lack the skills; the issue is trying to do both - grow the agency and launch a product.

The ones which made it either split the agency or stopped doing client work.

CUA was 100% clearly IBM's response to the Apple HIG. But it was a good one and mostly it's won. It did adopt Apple's Ctrl-X/C/V for cut/copy/paste, but that's about all.

Mac OS X isn't very compliant, no, but it's quite a bit closer than Classic MacOS was, and I find that very welcome. The menus, the hotkeys, the editing keys and so on mostly just work. All you do is use Cmd instead of Ctrl and it becomes invisible.

Interesting, I alaways assumed sshfs was part of OpenSSH, learn something new every day.

Also, looks like sshfs used in Slackware is abandoned.

A quote from the link, I wonder if this project will be the 'one':

Once there has been 6 months of reasonable activity, please contact Nikolaus@rath.org and I'll be happy to give you ownership of this repository or replace with a pointer to the fork.

I also wonder if it was abandoned due to the RHEL re-orgs like what happened to bluetooth.

Similar story with people claiming early victory on online age verification. A common claim is "web age verification can't work unless you're happy giving every porn site your name and credit card". Clearly not true. Federated authentication is very old tech and the same techniques that allow you protect your identity with an Apple sign-in can also be used to allow sites to verify that the user is an adult with some goverment account, but nothing more. I agree that it would likely end up expensive and marred by beurocracy like most government IT projects, but at a technical level it's sound
I agree but also feel like there is so much to improve in editor spaces but current “defaults” are just good enough. I like the keyboard example - current staggered keyboard layout is only used because we had physical typewriters that needed staggered keys because of physical constraints. But our fingers aren’t really good at going left and right, even slight movement means that you need to move your whole wrist left or right. Also keeping your wrists so close to each other is painful and not natural, definitely less comfortable than keeping them at shoulder distance. But the default is just good enough and too strong. We have split ortho keyboard but they are niche. So any revolution in editors will be stopped by the fact that too many people are comfortable enough with current default. And I’m honestly hungry for some revolution here
