> If you only can buy this or a M2 MBP, which one would you get?

The M2 MBP, because it's available in my country (Brazil).

I could probably find a way to import a Framework, but besides being a lot of work, and the import duties being no joke (AFAIK, to a first approximation, they would double the price), there's also the pain if something on it breaks and has to be repaired under warranty (IIRC, the rules for temporary export for repair without having to pay extra export and import duties are quite complicated). And to top it off, since it's a laptop, there's the extra annoyance of it not having the ABNT2 keyboard layout. And that's all if it doesn't get sent back by customs for being a radio product (due to the WiFi and Bluetooth) without the appropriate certification.

The Framework laptop and the Steam Deck are the top two in my list of electronic products which I'd want to buy if the manufacturer sold them in my country, but I'm not getting my hopes up. For now, I'm making do with a Dell.
Another way to look at VTTs is that they take care of the grunt work and give you more time for the things you want.

That's true -- but sometimes people are being accused of that when they arent doing it.

To say, eg., "my country did X too!" when "Country B did X" could be whataboutism, or it could be pointing to an international game with its own rules that all players are complicit in -- such an observation is a kind of rebuke to moralism.

Here we can read this sort of reply to those who worry about airtags in a similar sort of way: what, exactly does the principle, "limit objects which make a social environment less safe" do if applied mechanically -- rather than as a sort of circumstantial moralism about some recent headline.

Perhaps often, then, whataboutism is really a kind of distaste for hastey moralism about circumstantial matters

> It turns out that unless the game is explicitly marked (by Valve reviewers), Steam Deck will use the Windows build + Proton even if a Linux version is available.

I found this which sounds like it's not the default, but is in fact a result of compatibility testing:

> If your game has gone through Steam Deck compatibility testing and the testers reported that the native Linux version didn't work (because of #579), then it might have been flagged to run the Windows binaries via Proton by default, instead of the native Linux version.

My cat has been sick for a while. We have to track everything she does. My wife and I got tired of writing it on paper or a shared doc. It's also annoying to try to show the vet. So I quickly put together an mvp to track stuff and show it.
It's rough and it's got only the basics. You can add a pet, events and images. (you can censor event photos, no one wants to see bloody poop pictures all the time). It's full of half done features, spelling mistakes, hacky css/html and a joke homepage lol, but it's been invaluable so far.
The research is based on data from only one airline not cross-sectional data across multiple airlines. The title of the article is a reach.

The people hunting for the cheapest plane ticket don't restrict themselves to one airline only. There might be little variation in fare from day to day for one airline but across airlines there can be significant difference, specially on international routes.

Last week, I booked a roundtrip flight from Japan to India for next month. The price variation between airlines was 9x for same dates/week while there was little variation less than 10% for different days within a week for same airline.

I know what you’re talking about, but I don’t think the confounding factor of who and why home schooling parents choose to home school can be easily dismissed.

The simple fact that social activity needs to be fostered in a different, but not necessarily worse way, alone means a minority approach is going to cause problems, not to mention that fringe parents are likely to pass their fringe qualities on, especially when doubling down with their child’s education.

Yes. Because XP with no ability to search the start menu is better than everything that came after it.

That doesn't mean that XP was perfect. There are still faults with it.

But if fixing those faults means iterating on it more, then I'm happy with not.

Things can be imperfect and still better than everything else.

I’m in a similar position, albeit no dependents.

I don’t see myself getting promoted to leadership because software is generally extremely uninteresting to me. My goal is to just work and save as much as I can for as long as I can until I can retire (relatively young) or work on side projects and hopefully eventually monetize.

If Find My was not activated, therefore there was no Activation Lock, the most likely scenario is that the other person just reset and activated it themselves with this "mysterious" new iCloud account and is lying about it. The device can still be attached to Paul's original Apple account if its not removed from the list of devices by Paul, new activation lock or not.
I am completely in sync with your point. Bit I feel there are multiple (different) goals in play here, and the outcomes vary greatly based on the goal chosen.

For example, covid showed that a primary goal for many is simply day care. Child has to be looked after while parents work. If they actually learn things that's a bonus.

Prep for college, and college admission, is another goal. Learn how to effectively take tests, how to memorise somewhat-random material, how to write an essay. Learn to analyse reading material and discuss Hamlet's indecision.

Or Teach the child how to learn. Let them follow what interests them. Explore the world. Visit museums, art galleries, build a bicycle. All great, some useful, but none of the rigidity and discipline required when entering the work-force. (Ironically, probably the most learning, while at the same time the least empowering.)

Or what about trades? Wouldn't it be useful if the school taught plumbing, or how to wire a plug, or how to fix home appliances, or how to paint a wall?

So don't feel bad about being home-schooled. You will have gained some head-starts, and missed out on others. (There are plenty of kids who went to school, and that also did little to prep them for college or the work-place).

The best prep for today work-place, is, well work. A summer job, or weekends at MacD will help you with that skill set. (Or your first couple jobs after college).

To prep for college you need a college-aimed curriculum, coupled with strong analytical, summary, and essay writing skills. You need to learn "what's being taught" regardless of what it is. (Which is why the best college advice is to pick a major you enjoy, because you'll be depending a Lot of time with it.)

Yes, we all had different school experiences. Some good some bad. To some degree we all succeed or fail at life in spite of, not because of, school.
No one can not consider that life changing in that context?

Activation Lock is in fact not a good software because Apple have the keys.

If they refuse to accept the responsibility that comes with owning the keys, which, basically comes down to helping the customer when they can authenticate him, they should not own the key at all. At least they could be honest when they say they can’t do anything.

Because, reading this post, my question is not "why Apple don’t help?" but rather "why did we give them our keys if they are not willing to use them to help us ?"

What is a more legitimate use case than OP simple case that justify Apple’s decision power over Activation Lock.
People literally did not know that you could scroll the share menu on some versions of android until they specifically added a "fold" to hide half an icon just so people realised that there was more options available. Hiding a scrollbar is so unnecessary. It's one of the best UI/UX elements ever created and people got it right so long ago
Researching this, found [1]:

> POSIX guarantees that hard links can exist. It follows that, on POSIX systems without any non-standard protections, it's unsafe for anyone (but in particular, root) to do anything sensitive in a directory that is writable by another user. Cross-platform programs designed to do so are simply flawed.

I feel like something had to have been lost in translation from Unix to POSIX here. In the original implementation, were users able to hardlink (well, "link") files owned by others? If so, this is a foundational flaw that should probably be fixed across the board with something similar to Linux's non-standard sysctl option.

This, but do your CS degree online and also do a MS rather than an undergrad. Despite what you might think you need essentially no prior coding experience to enroll and complete most MS programs (though you may be conditionally admitted and need remedials). And any school will do for MS, there is no such thing as a prestigious masters degree. Anyone hunting academic prestige beyond undergrad just gets a doctorate.
I was introduced to statistics with the mathematical approach, and it failed to help me understand why things were the way they were, due to the lack of context and application.

Later I re-learned it in an applied way, and things made much more sense to me.

All of azure’s a web UI is a disaster.

“X” stacked directly under one of the aforementioned “X”s, which means close, but the other “X” is back, all on a flat ui with the same background and no border.

And yeah, the log analytics that feel like some alien intruder or parasite on the host UI.

It’s a monument of UI insanity.

> Reducing child abuse in CSAM production is only one of the reasons its prohibited.

It is the primary reason that it's prohibited, outweighing any other reason by an order of magnitude.

> I find it hard to believe that a long time technology advocate like yourself is unaware of the fact that the circulation of older CSAM continues to hurt people who were abused in its manufacture.

That depends on how they feel about it. If it is the case that dissemination of existing material reduces the production of new material, no one could be faulted for wanting what they went through to prevent someone else from being forced to go through it too, if at all possible.

> Your comment unfortunately exemplifies the problem of tech people trying to define the problem away rather than directly address the harms involved or propose privacy-respecting technical solutions to proactively mitigate it.

There isn't any known privacy-respecting technical solution and it may not even be possible for one to exist. You can't tell if someone's secret is unlawful without knowing what it is, but anything with access to all of everyone's secrets is inherently a comprehensive violation of everyone's privacy. Any technological solution that could be used for this could not be limited to being used for this.

Fundamentally what you're asking for is the technology to violate everyone's privacy, so that you can violate the privacy of child abusers. But the technology doesn't care what you use it for. It can't be limited to only being used against bad guys.

Building on the at Protocol
so essentially: "because you only have worse choices"
I also love how these orgs say, with a straight face:

“oh you can refactor! Just put together a refactoring design plan and present it at the next design meeting. Then after multiple rounds of reviews and feedback, we’ll divide the refactoring plan into a series of milestones that can be tracked and estimated. Then we can prioritize it during our next planning cycle among the other features that we want to accomplish.”

If you do try the whole “never ask permission to refactor,” you’re admonished for creating a PR that doesn’t adhere to the patterns in the repository. “I like this, but we need to discuss this with the whole team.”

So the tech debt spirals away until it takes months for anyone to merge a PR and tests are so flakey it feels more like playing casino slots hitting the restart button until it builds. Agile is great.
The line after the next paragraph: “Now, this only applies to electricity from solar and wind. If we were to produce this electricity from coal or gas, our energy inputs would be much higher. That’s because a lot of energy would be wasted as heat in the power plant”

Therein lies the problem though?

Per my second link 80% of the USA grid is coal or gas. How do you get around that massive number? How do you get around the political gridlock on updating our crumbling infrastructure? It’s inefficient and as a result wastes a ton of potential power as heat while also creating a ton of pollution.

To be clear I am with you. It’s abhorrent that this much of our energy infrastructure is still gas and coal in 2022+. But it’s the reality of the situation

yeah, assuming you get to that point before burnout or CBF kicks in. Or maybe you never do and just retire off of corporate. I imagine that exact mentality is why so many game dev programmers burn out and chase the money they deserve in others parts of tech.
Like YakiSauce said, for most people playing on roll20 (or similar) it's not their first choice. They can play online, or not at all. For what it's worth though, roll20 does support video as well as voice, for exactly the reasons you mentioned. I'm guessing other platforms would as well.

"Consolidator fares", where a travel agency buys up a large block of tickets for a flight at steep discount and resells them exclusively via their own channels are absolutely a thing, and have been for ages.

The catch is the travel agencies that do this are aiming for the absolute lowest total cost to stay competitive, and don't factor in overhead for trivial things like "customer support" in the price. And if something goes wrong, the airline will insist that you have to talk to your travel agency for help. So they can be a great deal as long as you're lucky enough to never have to call them due to irrops.)

As a general rule, this is why most frequent fliers insist that you should always book directly via the airline's website, even if it sometimes costs more.
