Are you sure about this? I usually send images/videos via WhatsApp because, AFAICT, they are sent unchanged (unlike Facebook messenger, for example), and know multiple people who do the same thing.

I never checked the file hashes, though.
I can highly recommend uninstalling teams and using the web version instead.

It's a bit less broken and crashes much less often, but the most important thing is that you can just F5 it when it does, which is much faster than starting up the desktop app.
I actually don't relate to this statement at all. My college courses were filled with Python, Java, and C#. I loved python. I hated C# and Java even more. I learned PHP in my own free time. I then went on and happily cut my teeth on dynamic languages for the next decade.

I dabbled occasionally with typed languages, but it wasn't until Typescript was forced upon me by a respected coworker that I was able to recognize type safety as a net-win for development speed. Seeing an entire class of problems disappear in a codebase rife with them was an eye opening experience.

I briefly took a ruby job a little over a year ago and I missed type safety quickly. Despite how much I love Ruby, I love tracing through code paths to understand what a variable is a lot less.
Reading this makes me want switch jobs. I want to again work somewhere where in the morning I wake up and feel excited to work, instead of feeling forced to work on some stuff that does not interest me at all.

“What is web-only access to iCloud?

Web-only access to iCloud lets you share and collaborate with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, even if they don't have access to an Apple device. That means you can invite anyone to share a file. Then they can use their web-only account to access the file and make edits, without leaving iCloud.”

Which they absolutely are doing, but it's difficult to provide public transport anywhere else than the big cities when only about 2% of Norway is inhabited. The price of public transport is not what's keeping people from using it, but the fact that many people live outside the big cities and have to travel to them for work. Depending on where you live, commuting to the city may be very unwieldy. Oslo has been building out more train tracks recently which make travel time much quicker for a lot of people living outside the city.

My latest obsession has been the Julia language, which seems to borrow a number of ideas from Erlang in its distributed model. It's reasonably easy to replicate this kind of "instant-server" that magically works across multiple nodes. I don't know for sure, but I would be surprised if Julia's Distributed module wasn't at least a little inspired by Erlang.

I absolutely love Erlang, and I wish I had more of an opportunity to use it, but it's nice to see that some of its concepts are bleeding into other platforms.
> The proof of uncountability of real numbers starts with a process of enumerating this infinite list of infinitely long binary numbers.

> How could the diagonal construction ever finish to allow a "check" of whether the result of that process is actually on the list.

> The diagonal just seems like a shortcut to a number that we know the first process hasn't gotten to yet?

I think you are mixing up the enumeration of the (hypothetically countable) reals with the existance of said set of reals, and viewing the construction of the counterexample as an actual process that involves programmatically iterating over the list instead of a description of how the digits of said new real number is created.

There is no pause or setp-by-step of this iteration that's required, since it's only telling you that the i'th digit of the counterexample will be distinct from the i'th digit of the i'th number (thereby creating a real not in your countable set, since you have created a number outside of your 1-1 mapping onto the natural numbers).

You also conveniently leave out just how much Apple degrades experience in those cases.
You're conflating a great deal by not defining "robots".

The choices are:

2. Machines that perform fixed, repetitive operations automatically

3. Machines that perform variable, repetitive operations at unexpected times, automatically

4. Autonomous machines that perform a variety of operations without human control

5. Tanks, UAVs, and rifles under human control

Maybe they’ll only sell them in bulk, and only to schools?

Maybe they won’t sell them at all, but lease them? That could solve the profit margin issue (even if only in the perception of the public)
Probably true. After 30 years of writing code, I guess I just haven't figured it out yet.

Thankfully you and Typescript are here to show me how to do it right.
If a software signing key is compromised it can be revoked and a few weeks later the risk is only to people who don't keep their OS up to date. Further, exploited compromises are detectable, especially if exploited at scale.

If the backdoor crypto key is compromised, sure they can revoke it (assuming they manage to design a competent system), but all the sensitive information up that point is now available to whoever possesses the backdoor key. Unlike the software signing case, exploitation of the compromise is likely undetectable unless the attacker reveals their knowledge somehow.

The customer service with Apple is binary, and you are more likely to get your problem resolved at "Apple" rather than an "authorized repair shop".

It seems short of getting a new screen, your solution is to buy a new one. If it's important to your work, then mark it as "cost of doing business". Apple hardware is also binary: They work reliably well (at least from a hardware perspective) but sometimes they fail completely.
That first query is fantastic. Aside from the obvious wedding photos which were indeed aesthetically pleasing, my wife and I were laughing to the point of tears over a "most aesthetic" photo it found of me climbing through a cage suspended between two cliffs in the Alps.

Thanks for the cool tool! I too wish Apple exposed these scores as a filter at the GUI level, but after seeing the output, perhaps I know why they don't.
IME Apple will replace an item if they can't fix it after a couple attempts. For example, they tried to fix a laptop of mine and after replacing many internal components, they just provided a replacement.

I would recommend calling AppleCare, asking to speak to a supervisor, and then explaining what's been going on. You might have to try a couple times to get to someone who is sympathetic, but that sure beats waiting for another month and a half!

I thought this was clear in context but obviously not. Obviously not all discussions of race/culture are racist. However…

> Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with culture, and you'll be demonized.

Is not all discussions of race/culture. Whose violent tendencies? What does OP mean by culture here? Unclear, it’s left to your imagination.

Should it read:
> Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with culture [of teaching children violence] and you'll be demonized.

Or should it read:
> Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with [violent people’s] culture, and you'll be demonized.

Or should it read:
>Bring up violent tendencies or anything to do with [you know who I mean’s] culture, and you'll be demonized.

Why does OP expect to be demonized? Maybe because these are common racist shibboleths, in the same vein as someone trying to tell you about threats to “western civilization”.

Idk if OP actually meant it that way. Their meaning was vague, which is how these things work. A good tule of thumb with strangers on the internet though is that if it quacks like a duck it might be a duck.

If you stop reading when that comes up, you'd probably not read most of the nonsense that passes for commentary on the financial system and be much better informed as a consequence. It's not a simplification, it's completely wrong. There are plenty more descriptions of how it works if you care to look, it's just that the BoE paper is rather authoritative (coming from the bank that literally makes the rules within the UK).

The mechanism by which deposits "increase a banks ability to make new loans" is just a sideshow. Deposits are not the limiting factor in the banks ability to make new loans. It might be they use deposits as a cheap way to meet their Basel III liquidity obligations, but there are other routes to doing so.

I was going to write a simpler comment but referencing uFuzzy instead! It's one of my favourite fuzzy search tools, but possibly even better than uFuzzy itself is the fuzzy search comparison tool they built. When I have a project that requires fuzzy search, I load a bunch of representative data into it and try out the different algorithms to see what sort of things I can expect, and which one feels most like the results I want.

So even if I don't end up using uFuzzy, I still end up using uFuzzy!

> I've never encountered anyone else who combines being an incredible engineer, and being an incredible product person, and an incredible manager, and an incredible designer.

> As the PM on Google Maps, he was frustrated that the JavaScript was really slow. [...] So, one weekend he said, “I'm going to rewrite it”. And he rewrote the entire thing, making it 10 times as fast and a third of the size. He completely threw away the code that a team of engineers had been working on for months.

Maybe it wasn't as bad as that sounds, but the situation was something like the very ordinary... A team of engineers had been working on a lot of aspects, and optimizing was intentionally put off. Maybe there were also some suboptimal coordination or project management going on, which was hurting the team's effectiveness (which is something a product manager would speak about with the project manager or tech lead). Maybe he did it quietly, as a proof of concept, to confirm his intuition that the team was having problems, and as "data" to quietly show team leader that something is wrong. Or maybe he had a prior OK/encouragement from the team to rewrite the code they'd working on.

Alternatively, maybe it was as bad as it sounds -- a PM From Hell, pulling a move that engineers would be WTFing about for years -- but his "incredible" skillset included also being an incredible politician, so team morale wasn't destroyed.

Coolest application of those data URL ever. It's amazing how simple this idea is yet I have NEVER considered trying it out. I am not surprised this idea has already been done before, but it's still somehow never crossed my imagination.
That differs between the US and Europe. The legal issue is abuse of dominant market position (just having the position is, of course, legal). The EU cares about any "detriment" for customers, competitors, employees,... . That used to be the case in the US as well, but over the last decades they switched to caring only about a specific niche and generally doing very, very little.

End result: Lots of big, successful companies that do shady things and only the EU intervenes and then is the bad guy.

Look at any of the threads about fines for Facebook or the like and you will find many replies to the effect of "The EU is just jealous and should not fine successful American companies".

Accelerate is all but depreciated because of the Metal backend anyway.
I pre-ordered mine in May 2019. I asked for a refund in August 2020, and again today. Here is their response:

---
First of all, we would like to thank you for your patience and for your
support. We do acknowledge that things take longer than we all want and
we apologize for any inconvenience.

Sadly, we do not process any refunds at the moment (not just
pre-orders), but we do offer two other options which may be ok with you.
One is to get the phone which you have pre-ordered (we could ship it
within several business days). Another is to receive a store credit +20%
gratitude on top of the amount paid.

As I do not have any timeline for the refund all the information I
currently have indicates it will not be processed any time soon. I'm
very sorry and wish I had a better answer for you.

I hate that this has been normalized, we can't seem to pass legislation to get rid of mandatory arbitration. The courts uphold this crap because it's supposed to be agreed upon by your own free will, but withholding service unless you give up your right to a jury trail is a bastardization, especially when this has become so commonplace you either live as a luddite or cede your rights. This is especially true for labor. We should have laws that say you can't withhold service or employment based on acceptance of arbitration.
Even better is the licensing model where you can keep using the version as-is after the subscription ends. You just don't get any new features. It's even possible to do on iOS, as Working Copy [0] is doing it. (You also get all the bug fixes and stuff, only new features are behind a flag that requires you to purchase another year of updates. I would also argue that Working Copy specifically is too cheap, but I guess it's working for them.)

Regarding the morale of teams who care deeply about their project, and WTFing about some management move for years later...

I was interviewing for a principal-level role at a startup doing something exciting, and one of the engineering leaders told me a story about when they'd been at one of the legendary earlier computer companies. The company had done some WTF thing involving pitting two engineering teams against each other, with awful incentives. (I had a WTF response, and articulated why, and maybe that was a factor in them making me the offer.)

There are some morale-destroying engineering/project management moves that people will still be talking about for decades, and which many experienced engineers and managers who hear about it will immediately understand (to some degree) as awful.

(As I said in previous message, I suspect that the GMaps move wasn't as bad as it sounded, and hopefully it wasn't one of those WTF stories.)
