>Agreed on the speed, but 100 miles range on a single charge? That's more than enough to account for the needs of the vast majority of commuters.

1. If that were true, EVs would have been much more successful in America. They haven't been. The Nissan Leaf was around long before Tesla and it never went far, because the range sucks.

2. Back in 1900, 100 miles would have been great. In 2000, it's not sufficient at all for most car-owning Americans.

3. You can't have the same range at higher speeds: energy usage goes up dramatically with speed. So you need much more energy storage, and the battery tech of the time just wasn't sufficient.

>I wonder how that one would have played out if we didn't have oil. The abundance of cheap fossil fuels didn't make it exactly worthwhile to invest in battery R&D.

That's a very good point. It would be interesting to see an alternate universe where this was the case.

The ability to run a cron every few seconds is pretty cool and avoids those OS cron scripts that loop and sleep, so I'm glad that was added. Only downside to cron jobs running inside postgres is PL/pgSQL. It's never my first choice for scripting sql operations.

We ship you the whole rack you bought, either to your own on-prem datacenter or your preferred colo partner etc. Once on-site, assuming the infrastructure is already in place, it's ~3hrs to uncrate, connect power and network, and do the site-specific install configuration (like DNS, time servers, identity etc etc).

Additionally, Apple allowing a user to install a browser with a rendering engine other than webkit does not preclude a completely different user from experiencing the "Apple experience". The default experience will be the Apple experience.

I really don't understand this common sentiment that more freedom for a user to use a device in the manner in which they want to somehow takes away the freedom of others.

I think it's a good idea to draw a distinction between human-equivalent intelligence and general intelligence, and to think of generality as a spectrum. An AI that can do one task is less general than an AI that can do two tasks, and an AI that can do 1000 tasks I feel reasonably confident in calling "general", even if it cannot do every task that humans can do, because humans are currently more general.

And we know that people on the side of Ukraine, including lots of commentators in the west do the reverse. So maybe try to find the facts and use logic.

> We know Russia loves Musk because he supports their illegal invasion of Ukraine.

He is literally the most important private person helping Ukraine. That's just such an idiotic believe, its really next level stupid.

Please tell me one other private person literally in the world who has helped Ukraine more then Musk. I'll wait.

He literally gave Ukraine free material when the war started, before most governments had even reacted.

Not enabling Starlink in Crimea makes sense because that would literally enable the Russians to use it. Dynamically enabling and disabling it depending on Ukrainian war needs would be a crazy thing to do.

>If money that's created goes directly to consumers, then it allows business owners to raise prices on goods. However, that's not what's happening when US government is printing money to pay off its debts.

This is exactly what happens when the government expand the money supply to repay debt. It send out social security checks, pay workers, and buys goods. This puts money directly in the hands of consumers.

You even agreed we are talking about an increase in the money in circulation. Are you walking that back and saying that money in circulation doesn't give consumers more money? The creditor of Government debt Is citizen consumers with benefit obligations.

> engineering should pay the hard price to make user use easy, and privacy easy

Last time I read Apple's privacy statement, which was about a year ago, it said essentially the same thing Google's does. Which is that both companies collect all of your data and use it internally as much as they want including for, among other things, advertising. The reason Apple has a perceived advantage in privacy (other than the fact that they've marketed it heavily) is that most consumers don't see them as an advertising company whereas Google clearly is. But they do have an advertising business, and one would expect it to get larger as they enter the search space.

Apple collects an immense amount of data about its users, including broad categories of data on very private things like health, payments, location, and broad categories like "fraud prevention."

If you're concerned about companies "collecting and profiling their (your) behavioral data exhaust in a way consumers don't understand," then I'm not sure it makes sense to buy Apple products, since they are very tight lipped with what they do with the enormous amounts of behavioral data exhaust they collect.
“their parallel nature makes them memoryless and stateless. This translates to: “You can’t store or share data between pixels or shader executions.””

This kind of constraint is so liberating for me for some reason. It just narrows the space a lot I guess.

Yes? I do consider computing freedom to be far more important than whatever convenience is gained by allowing them to do this. We should always be able to run our own software at all times with no restrictions. If that turns everyone into a "linux sysadmin" I'm okay with that. Better than a future where our computers come pwned straight off the factory, where we need permission from corporations and governments to write and execute software.

OpenAI closes big lease deal at Uber's San Francisco headquarters
Since decades being mindful of monochrome displays and color blindness meant selecting appropriate colors and using different shapes along with different colors. Removing color where available is not useful.

Any explanation of the anti color trend must explain Apple's participation. Especially because Microsoft and GNOME appeared to imitate Apple.

I did not say monochrome was a display technology Apple never used. You named e ink. And monochrome is not a display technology.

Other trends included more transparency in content areas, links almost unidentifiable without color, and other reliance on small shade differences. And Apple made all app icons the same shape. All worse for e ink.

The antitrust fights against Microsoft I think were a big reason why IE and Word ended up coming to MacOS. Apple also benefited from being able to reverse-engineer Word's format without facing legal trouble. And I think there were a lot of knock-on effects from that; even if we just look at the IE bundling would the web have looked the same if that ecosystem had never changed? Remember that iOS started out primarily supporting web apps; a closed down web ecosystem would have fundamentally changed the device.

Is that the same as forcing a company to open up hardware access? We can argue that, and I sort of see where you're coming from, but... I think my bigger point is:

> as that has little to do with the hardware being tied to an OS.

I feel like this is a very narrow interpretation of antitrust. Microsoft was prevented from abusing a market power that could have prevented other competitors from gaining a foothold in the market. Apple directly benefited from the government and regulators stepping in and saying "we don't think a company should be able to unduly block competition."

It feels a little hand-wavy if someone wants to make the argument that it's all different just because Apple now has a different mechanism for locking down the market. The problem was locking down the market, and that's still the problem. And what we're really asking is "should the government be able to stop a company from making the market uncompetitive?"

Sure, someone could make the argument that allowing a custom OS on a phone is technically different from government intervention standardizing electrical outlets so the iPhone can charge, but they're both regulations that serve basically the exact same purpose that are coming from the exact same authority. If Apple wants to claim that opening up the hardware would be a step too far, I'd want to see an argument from them about what is practically different about that regulation that makes it a step too far. We regulated device compatibility for phone networks and that led to an explosion of innovation that shaped the modern Internet.

Not all regulations are good. There should be limits on what the government can do. But I think the onus is on companies like Apple who have benefited from the government saying, "we have a vested interest in making the market competitive" to explain not just why the regulations being proposed are technically different, but to also explain why it matters that we're talking about opening hardware and not just software and why that regulation should be treated differently.

> I think if there is a law it should be about EVERY device. Nintendo Switch, tractors, phones, etc. Just the environmental benefits would be big and always getting bigger.

Completely agreed.
>Apple should be allowed to benefit from the sweat they invested and sell a mobile console appliance, while others should be allowed to make build-your-own mobile compute. Put another way, there's room for an iPad Pro 13 and a Frame.work Laptop 13. None of these should be forced to break their model to accommodate one of the others'.

Comments like me honestly scare me. If windows was released today, you'd only be allowed to install windows apps through the approved store, and some of you will even defend that.
I recently saw a post about Cackle [1] coming out of the rust ecosystem which looks pretty cool. Similar to what others have said, there's always a chance that a C lib or shell script is leveraged to bypass compile time guarantees. I think that's why it's important to do both. Do what you can to keep your supply chain safe and limit your runtime as much as possible.

The 2013 version of SimCity was a disaster for all sorts of reasons, not least of which that they took game devs and just mysteriously expected them to know how to build and run online services, run databases etc. A friend of mine was working for another EA subsidiary and ended up being parachuted in to try to help save the day. One of his first contributions made a phenomenal difference: He enabled connection pooling to the database servers. They'd done the entirely understandable, naive, thing of just going with the client defaults.

From my reading, Gitlab Ultimate admins can't set the limit to greater than 365 days, only less.

From https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2023/10/25/access-token-lifeti...

"In GitLab Ultimate, administrators have the ability to set a custom allowable limit for token expiration. This policy allows administrators to set a lifetime less than 365 days for compliance purposes."

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/settings/account_a...

"Users can optionally specify a maximum lifetime in days for access tokens, this includes personal, group, and project access tokens. This lifetime is not a requirement, and can be set to any value greater than 0 and less than or equal to 365."

What am I missing?
There are expensive and cheap versions of both varieties.

Vinyl luxury plank can be very nice, durable, flexible, thin but with backing to make it quiet and gives it a good feel to walk on, waterproof etc.

I installed much myself and choose based on quality not price and went with VLP for our needs. I think it really just comes down to where you are installing and its characteristics and what materials you have around you.

Also laminates can’t be refinished, nor vinyl. There are some interesting bamboo options out there but frankly VLP these days doesn’t gas off tons of toxic fumes for years, lasts long enough, and is cheap and easy to install and looks real enough these days you’d have to really study it to notice a pattern that unless you really need real it’s good nuff.

Free browsers from for profit corporations always exists to serve some other business goal. Why does Safari exist? Why does Edge exists? Its not benevolence in either case.
My answer here is very subjective (may be completely wrong). Still, with that caveat stated...

Wondering about why git became standard is a bit like wondering why mammals became big and more dominant a few tens of millions of years ago. It was a side effect of other bigger changes and being in the right place at the right time. Not that many other factors mentioned here were unimportant, but I don't think they're the high order bit.

By the early mid 2000's, Microsoft's dominance in the software space was under serious attack. The web was beginning to get to be a more serious place to build apps, undermining a lot of the market that MS had dominated for in-house apps (visual basic etc etc). Things like WHATWG, and then Safari, and eventually Chrome helped to decouple lots of apps from dependence on proprietary Windows technologies. Additionally, cloud computing was taking off in one form or another (VMware and virtualization, then actual cloud offerings like AWS), which made linux a much more appealing platform for doing a lot of server-side development. These two factors, I think, helped move unix/linux environments into more of a mainstream place in many developer's lives.

Not that they were not viable before, but endless stories about the titans of the new industry relying on commodity, cheap, open source platforms and technologies certainly influenced many organization's mindsets. (it probably doesn't hurt that the transition to .net wasn't the smoothest not to mention Windows Vista, but that's also probably not the high order bit).

Another interesting datapoint (also probably not a high order bit) is that in the mid 00's, the mac became VERY attractive among at least silicon valley developers. The presence of a linux-like development environment (Terminal etc) with a spiffy UI coupled with just being trendy (I think I'm allowed to say that, as a multi-decade  fanboy :-) ) lured many of the thought leaders away from Windows. I remember being shocked when a brand new coworker demanded a mac at work (this would have been around 2010) and actually got one... something that I'd never seen happen before. And I know of people who went to MS developer conferences in silicon valley in the same timeframe where everyone was using macs. I remember one observing: "Oh, wow. MS is in trouble".

Anyway, my own view is no one forced or made git the standard. it is more that "linux"/linux-like development environments became much, much more standard and accepted and at that point it was "the best" tool available. If MS hadn't lost its control over the software industry, lots of us might still be using visual source safe (or its successor).
