Infosec. That isn't about craftsmanship either, but does bring together technical and people skills.

I get my craftsmanship fix writing code at home. Just couldn't bear doing it at work the way I had to.
This is just wrong if you despise the concept of paid work at all. I spend these 8 hours a day because I am forced to. I need to pay for food and shelter, for my kids education and all the other stuff. If this wasn't the case I would give a fuck and spent all the time with my family, play video games and just live from day to day.

Choosing an IT-career is just the least evil for me.

I'm fortunate enough to own a gaming PC, but I wish cloud gaming was around when I was younger. All my buddies owned consoles or PCs, and I felt like a sore thumb when they were discussing the latest titles. There are a lot of people who just can't afford even the cheapest Xbox One but have enough money for a month's worth of Game Pass and can play Starfield. My younger self would definitely have been okay with latency and fuzzy graphics. This isn't hypothetical; I still remember the days when OnLive was around and could play that Disney racing game Split/Second for free for half an hour, I was AMAZED back then.

Sometimes I feel like people dismissing cloud gaming do not consider how the advent of cloud gaming has opened doors for those who previously couldn't afford traditional gaming setups. It's not about the technical specifications; it's about making gaming accessible to more people, regardless of their financial constraints.

The intel stack is more mature right now as someone pointed out in the comments above. Down the road AMD will get better with better drivers and newer chips. If wifi speeds matter to someone and they are upgrading from an older intel board then keeping the old wifi card would make sense as of now.
Ironically, the style and substance of DJB's engagement with his peers and with NIST is likely to sour both against his claims[0], credible though they(might) be. DJB's impression of NIST "stonewalling" could very well be their reluctance in engaging with an adversarial and increasingly deranged private citizen.

> We disagree with his analysis,” says Dustin Moody at NIST. “It’s a question for which there isn’t scientific certainty and intelligent people can have different views. We respect Dan’s opinion, but don’t agree with what he says.

That's great for a PopSci article, but I(and many others, I'm sure) would like to see the details of this analysis hashed out. DJB had his chance at making this happen, and blew it. However, that doesn't mean his questions[0] should go unanswered.

> - No external display before OS. Can't do luks password over external monitor.

That's weird. I have the g8 and there is no such issue. I routinely type my LUKS password on my external keyboard and monitor. The only thing that doesn't show up on the external screen IIRC is the boot selection menu.
Can't believe they can't just re-flash the firmware, shouldn't it take like five minutes?

My problem with this is that Apple somehow got into the position of being the deciding entity of what is mine and what is not.

If you sell your devices, create a receipt. This way the legitimate owner can prove that they own the device now.

It's that simple.
My dad bought an Amstrad CPC 464 for work in late 1985, and I was allowed to use it occasionally. I bought the Amstrad Action issue 4 Christmas special (now famous for having the first ever cover mounted computer cassette) containing two pretty simple games - Yie Ar Kung Fu and Number 1. They were pretty fun, but despite all the adverts for other games, the very first game I bought based on all the adverts and reviews was... Colossal Adventure. It's mentioned in the article you linked, but astounding that so much game could be packed into 48KB and loaded all at once into memory from cassette, compared to Infocom's paged from disk games.
While DHH clearly has an agenda, I think this is a great reminder that so does everyone else. People most often give feedback in light of their own needs, wants, and experiences. Just as it is vital to be curious and to test assumptions in programming, the same applies to many other things in business and life. This is just a simple reminder based on a programming-friendly concept.
well, in my field, the software equivalent of cutting corners these days are adding skinner box mechanics to a game. in a darker timeline, it would involve making cryptocurrency fronts masqurading as artistic expression.

As an Israeli I don't think we're capable of doing something like that. I at least hope not.

There are civilian casualties at war. That is unavoidable. I know that even among the group of terrorists many were captured alive and one was even treated in an Israeli hospital. A mob wanted to lynch him (they were stopped) but they will be treated in military hospitals from now on.

I think the bombings are terrible. But it's very probable that we'll see a lot more die when the army comes in. Hopefully, civilian casualties will be low.

I'm sure with enough dedicated and enthusiastic people something better than Chrome can be implemented. Though will it survive at all is another question. Chrome has an effective stranglehold on the market, so for anything else to succeed it will take political will rather than development effort.
Honestly I'm kind of surprised one would bring their tablet at all. Having a phone is useful in situations like you said, but I can see no good reason to bring a tablet.

sure, no other reason than "less stability". You may or may not need the stability, but sacrificing it so that is 2% easier to carry into a house (which happens maybe, once per 2 years for an especially nomadic person) seems to be the exact kinds of corners management likes to take.

I got an M1 macbook pro when they first came out, in about April of this year the screen suddenly stopped working without warning. External display worked fine, internal one just showed random colours. Took it to apple for repair, they tried various things and said the mainboard need to be replaced at a cost of something like £700. I refused and just put the laptop away until someone at work mentioned that in the UK we have the consumer rights law that gives us 6 years for which we can expect our purchases to continue to function properly. I messaged apple support and mentioned my consumer law rights under the law and the immediately dispatched a box for me to send the laptop to them and had it collected the next day. In under a week it was back, repaird (new display, top case) at no cost to me. It's amazing what a difference knowing your rights makes!

what would have happened if Mark Zuckerberg saw the failures of other social networks and "learned from experience" and didn't create Facebook? these billionaires keep trying precisely because they've succeeded in areas where others have failed, so they believe they can do it again. are they always right? no, but eventually someone will come up with something that works. if no one ever tries, no one ever will.
I'm typing this on one of those, and on paper it's indeed a nice little machine. But oh my god, the screen is ridiculously bad. When I got it a few years ago, I didn't think it was still possible to have such atrocious screens on a 1500+ € machine...

Also, assembly quality seems hit or miss with these. Mine is OK, but on the one from work, the black plastic surrounding the screen is misaligned with the hinge.
I honestly don’t relate to anything you say. It’s like for every UI evolution you find everything that could theoretically go wrong, and say that it’s definitely a problem.

There are more things than graphics : the ability to search the start menu was a huge improvement in Win7 (or was that Vista ?)

It's Windows 8 that wrecked things, by making the two-way correspondence between the start menu and a folder of icons basically void.
That attitude was more common years ago when Apple was beleaguered and in real danger of going out of business. People who grew up with Macs and preferred the hardware and OS didn’t want it to go away, so they made efforts to support it. I don’t think it’s as common an attitude post-iPhone.
I still prefer it over AWS, which has separate portals for each product in each region. All of which show random internal identifiers instead of human-readable text. None of which support a folder structure, a technology invented before the advent of computers.
I can also recommend Edward Frenkel's (the guest of this video) book "Love and Math" on the subject. He writes as well as he talks, the book is very approachable, not just for a mathematically literate audience, but also for those who "don't like math". Its about the Langlands Program, but also about his own personal history of becoming a mathematician in the Soviet Union and his experiences with antisemitism during that time. Fascinating Stuff, even though it only barely touches the surface of his research.
When sonething Apple does not work (e.g. icloud sync) it simply does not work, there is nothing you can do.

Do you know how nice is to be able to tell others, that there is nothing you can do, and mean it?

Life of Pythagoras was super influential to my life. I was very inspired by the way Pythagoras lived his life - a 100% commitment to finding out what is true, travelling all over the world amassing knowledge/practices/skills through humility, trying so many things out and finally spending so much of his life teaching. Pythagoras was probably the greatest philosopher ever. I also recommend reading about Archytas, one of his spiritual descendants, his thoughts on math, mechanics, music, learning and philosophy are amazing.

After switching from an 11th gen Intel Dell XPS, to a M1 Macbook, I resist returning to PC laptops (even though I prefer Windows) until someone confirms that newer Ryzen and Intel chips are comparable in terms of "perceived performance" to Apple silicon. The whole laptop simply becomes syrupy on battery. Even if I go high performance mode in Windows settings, the whole device is just so laggy compared to a Macbook. And, in high performance mode, the laptop has probably at _most_ 2 hours of battery life in it.

Has this improved since 11th gen Intel?
> The only thing is the battery life is still bad, partly because I have way too much RAM...

Can you actually tell the difference the RAM quantity has on battery life?

I have a different laptop with an older zen 3 part, as well as its cousin with an 11th gen i7. I haven't noticed any change in battery life, going from 32 to 64 GB on the AMD and from 16 to 32 on the Intel.

Often, what lacks in these ideas is nuance and middle ground. The intent is right but the approach is lazy.

What do you think of this approach:

Gamify learning! Students get to learn sort of at their own pace but like gaming, they fall into different levels. Let them compete and be ranked against others at their level nationally but also be in different teams of less than 10 students at their school. Allow them to be at different levels for different subjects and attend regular in person classes with kids in their team/level.

The grade system stays, you still need to pass all the subjects to progress a grade, it just might for example take a 17 year old 5 years to move to grade 8 from 7 and 1 year to finish highschool because they sucked at math in the 7th grade and it took them 4 years to reach grade 8 level and the 1year to focus on math for grades 9-12, because they finished every other subject at every level and grade.

They could pair up and talk with students, mentors, teachers across the country to get exposure and pursue their passions.

Lot of burned out or CBF devs in the discussion, I suppose. It is a bit of a shame how tech in some ways more or less became the modern version of entrepreneurship, a way to hopefully work on the Next big thing(tm) and then cash out of life.

I get it but as an aspiring artisan it also makes me question how I even can get to that point. Your environment determines a lot of your growth and COVID has thrown a tempest into that equation.

The argument against animal testing is not necessarily that we should find an alternative, but that maybe the experiments themselves aren't worth it to begin with. That maybe the moral cost of the knowledge we gain from them is too high.

You don't have to be an absolutist on the matter in either direction, but surely each instance deserves this discussion, right? Because there has to be a difference between using animals to develop life-saving drugs, and whatever the hell Neuralink is doing to those poor monkeys.
No, it was a motorcycle cop, parked besides some trees, standing sideways and not in the direction where she was headed.
There is a lot more to the AirPods than the fact they are wireless. They sound great, good noise cancellation, and very comfortable to wear for long periods.

Crop fields do indeed disrupt the habitats of wild animals, and wild animals are also killed when harvesting plants. However, this point makes the case for a plant-based diet and not against it, since many more plants are required to produce a measure of animal flesh for food (often as high as 12:1) than are required to produce an equal measure of plants for food (which is obviously 1:1). Because of this, a plant-based diet causes less suffering and death than one that includes animals.

Maxwell's equations are not the simplest formulation for electromagnetic theory, and they're not a foundation, but merely a formulation of the physics.

The more elegant mathematical foundation for understand electromagnetism is Noether's theorem.

The more elegant formulation of the physics is just:

∇F = J

Which uses natural units and the geometric algebra of spacetime to encode everything contained in Maxwell's equations, but in a way that is coordinate-free and relativistic.

what makes this worse is that the original metaphor was meant to try and communicate with business leaders.

There is no business leader on this earth that is going to agree with 0 debt is debt. Or that choosing not to do a thing or pay for a thing implies debt.

And it gets even worse when you take it to its logical conclusion. Choosing not to fix something is apparently debt. So then if you take out a loan to fix it it's also debt?

What the poster meant is it doesn't always harm anything to leave something unfinished or imperfect. Which is true, but then they tried to squeeze "technical debt" into that and went off the rails.

Latest data is from 2012[0], but to counter to my own argument, I have district heating in my apartment. Outside of Oslo or any of the other "larger" cities in Norway I think you're hard pressed at finding anything like that, the population density is so low that it economy of scale for systems like that doesn't work out.

I'm not going to pretend that these office buildings don't exist, but usually they're not really empty. I've yet to be in an office without obnoxious motion sensors that don't work properly so you end up sitting in the darkness when working either early in the morning or late in the evening.

All that said, light pollution is a huge problem here. When I'm out hiking I don't really need a compass or anything to know the direction of Oslo, I can just look at the sky. I think the point I was trying to make is that lighting is a very small percentage of electricity usage, especially now with LED-lighting. In the winter I use the equivalent of 2000kWh/month for heating and hot water. Lighting would be 75kWh if I left all light on, all day, all night.

As I said - its laziness on googles part - and the result is a device that their consumers cant use when traveling.

> It’s not Apple’s fault that people don’t RTFM and disable the locks before getting rid of their old devices.

No, but it is their fault for making the devices with this horrible feature to begin with.
One of the reasons for the activation lock is to deter people from stealing your laptop, since even if someone swipes your laptop from under your nose, they have a brick that they cannot use. Best they can do is cannibalize it for parts (and Apple is even trying to prevent that, for better and for worse).
