I know many people will disagree, but, apart from Meta/Facebook, how anyone expects to use a service 100% free with 0 compromise? Running any business online comes with a lot of spending, especially when the userbase starts growing.

I find it very odd that you debate autism but don't know this. https://www.spectrumnews.org/wiki/theory-of-mind/

>> It's something you haven't - it's a lack, like deafness.

Just saying No is not a response I either accept or can start to understand. Please explain why No, then maybe I can start to learn.

>> was truly horrified when I started to understand the extent of how it affected him, and negatively, in his working relationships with us

> Guess what, relationships are 2-way. Your behaviour as a neurotypical was just as debilitating in your working relationship with him as the other way around. From that POV, being neurotypical is a terrible debilitation.

Of course relationships are two-way, and he couldn't understand enough of other people to modify his behaviour i.e., the office was freezing every morning, don't come in and open the windows in winter, people don't like that. But he wouldn't change, windows opened, people freezing, rinse, repeat. As such, it wasn't really a proper two-way thing.

Or with a different person, thank you but I'm not interested in talking about your bicycle. Or with another person who would walk you backwards into a corner while unloading her problems on you, unable to appreciate that she was messing up other people's evenings, and that she was being shunned for it.

Autism is a disability. Society should definitely be more tolerant of it and more understanding, but regrettably we weren't and the guy suffered for it. He suffered, we didn't. That makes it his disability, not ours. In hindsight I hugely regret the way he was treated, but he didn't try to 'mask'and I don't believe he had enough insight to be able to. It is a terrible thing and I do not wish it on anyone. Don't try and make out that it is our problem because it wasn't, it was his.

Your constant view that it's a shared problem is about a helpful as a zebra complaining to a tiger that things really aren't equitable in their relationship. True, but...

I find that very hard to believe. Also how much did this "laptop" weight and how thick was it? Presumably it was in an entirely different market segment and not competing with the MacBook Pro. It's almost like comparing the M1 to a desktop...

The XPS was the equivalent Dell product and I don't recall it being particularly better than a Mac back in the 2018-2019.
>There are people who make their livelihood evaluating journalistic sources. I'd personally suggest seeking out factual news sources over editorialized news and straight opinion articles masquerading as news. Even those will have their biases on what to publish, but those biases will often be far more evident (if not overtly spelled out).

Bias isn't exactly truthiness. You can be fantasticly unbiased and still be wrong.

I find it fascinating that you can look at the long arc of the moral universe and see it any other way. The only reason I can think of is that you’re staring at just the last few decades trying to discern a pattern, or even looking for the bend itself in the present. But if you take a step back and look at all of human history (and what we know about pre-history), how can you see it any other way?

The poster is not redefining the term.

The "Defund The Police" movement has very specific and very well documented goals: Use police only for law-enforcement, and use specialized responders for non-law enforcement interactions. For example, you send mental health specialists when someone is threatening suicide. This will reduce funding for the police, but it also reduces the police's workload.

Is the movement poorly named? Yes. Is their goal to eliminate police?
Absolutely not.

> RISC-V CPUs don't have any of that as there's no requirement that actual implementation be open source, only the ISA.

There's a growing list of RISC-V cores that are themselves open source (that's how RISC-V ecosystem got started, btw). And unlike in x86 or ARM world, no-one would hassle you for licensing or royalties if you bring those designs to a foundry & mass-produce.

Now as for say, GPUs to stick onto those, that is another matter.

It doesn't really replace the 13" MBP. That was a weird in-between relic with the old screen, a TouchBar and a fan that the CPU didn't really need. Essentially an Air with a bunch of semi-useless upgrades. Both the actual 13" Air and the real 14" Pro were significantly better, more focused machines.

Given that there is a legally mandated 2-year warranty period at least in Europe, I would be surprised if any laptops weren’t made to “last for years”.

The problem with Apple, however, is that their hardware will long outlive their software support. So if they really want to save natural resources by making long-lasting machines, they should put much more effort into sustained software support.
And it is enough to get you in trouble if it’s a website you are not supposed to see.

I understand most misogyny accusations against him are wrong. And every accusations that do not involve misogyny are wrong.

I also understand than the few misogyny accusations that are true aren't really misogyny from his point of view, because he is just naturally awkward, and would probably fumble just as hard with males if he was gay. So it was a bit unjust, the attention he received from media.

That said, I am a guy who received 'attentions' from a superior (f) once. I wish I had spoken up at the time, but this should be exised from our culture. It shouldn't matter if you are neuroatypical like Stallman or not, this comportment belongs to the 70s/80s, and should be called out every time, no matter who does it. The workplace isn't a matchmaking facility.

I know this is hard when you are on the spectrum, had to learn to lie and how to recognize emotions to follow ineffective social rules (like no flirting in the workplace when this might be the best place to find a person with common interests!). But I repeat, you had to _learn to lie_, often by yourself, sometimes with a psychologist help, and probably managed to surmont greater incomprehensible social rules than 'do not flirt where inappropriate'
Boot legacy PCs from NVMe storage
»This project allows old x86 computers using a classic BIOS to boot from modern NVMe storage attached via PCI(e).

Maybe my expectations for RPi 5 are too high, but it’s hard to imagine that an SBC manufacturer known as the industry standard removed the H.264 decoder & encoder from their latest product instead of adding VP9 and AV1, causing users to go crazy when YouTube playback dropped frames.

Making a real Talkie Toaster [video]
When we started, we were focused on building an open source alternative to Typeform. But as we continued to talk to users and watch them implement our solution, we realized there's a huge need for in-app insights similar to what Sprig offers, but as an open solution.
With highly targeted in-app micro-surveys, you can learn a lot about your users without annoying them and creating survey fatigue by asking less and only the right users.

That's why we've expanded our infrastructure to support in-app surveys, which have become the main part of our application over time.

But there's still a need for an open survey toolbox that's easy to use and allows you to easily send surveys via link or email. Since the infrastructure for these two is almost the same, we are still building this together with our open source community and promised to always keep the link survey features open and free for everyone to celebrate their great work and contributions.
No, that isn't exactly how insurance works, and it would be almost pointless for individuals if it did work that way.

Instead, it works by bucketing risk. In the simplest form, everyone is in one bucket, ignoring individual risk. That means that all other things being equal (e.g. size and value of your house), despite you have low risk of your house flooding, you would be paying exactly the same premium as the person who who has very high risk because their house is built on a flood plain.

Of course people paying more for their risk than it warrants may see that as unfair - so insurers use more buckets - e.g. bucketing high, medium and low risks.

But there's a delicate balance here - for instance, insurers may just decide not to insure the high-risk category. Or even if they do, the premiums may be unaffordable or the insurance benefits substantially restricted. And the natural extension of categorizing like this is to put an individual in a category by themselves - and then to limit payout. Essentially making the insurance not any better than a savings account, and probably worse if you don't claim at the beginning of the policy, before there's a large pot in the savings account.

From the point of view of perfect capitalists, the insurers would like to insure people with negligible risk, for high premiums, for low benefits - to make the most profit. From a social-good point of view, we would like insurers to cover risk that people cannot control (e.g. genetic risk) for reasonable premiums and good benefits. Categorizing lives somewhere between these two - a kind of necessary un/fairness.
Not GDPR, but probably does require consent under the ePrivacy Directive.

Get a grip. So you would consider twitter and Facebook notifications you have explicitly requested as spam? I also run a social network with 20k users that is equally accessible over web and email, and we have had peaks up to about 4 million messages/month containing nothing but conversations between users, and we run into all these bulk sending issues all the time. Please explain, oh wise one, how is emailing people messages they have explicitly asked for spam?
This library provides a way to encapsulate errors into a Result type, so that any user want to retrieve the value, they must unwrap the Result first. In this way I think it will force people to realize that there will be errors, you need to handle them. For JS users, you need to call _result.value_, for TS, the editor and compiler will warn you.

In my opinion, it never tries to prevent people from handling exceptions using try/catch, instead, it enrichs the error handling solutions.

`wrap` function is just a simple way for users to adopt this Result type quickly. I think in projects, developers should create their own Result usually, can check this example.

> Where and how he said what he said was almost impossible to not be misunderstood.

He was reported as saying a girl was "willing". What he said was "probably presented as willing" - i.e. Minsky was likely unaware she was coerced. When it takes four words to give enough context, but journalists repeat only one, that goes beyond reckless disregard for the truth, and into malice.

It was not impossible to be misunderstood. It was impossible for smear merchants to resist. Don't let the Gell-Mann amnesia make you forget this when you read another hit job that has had context surgically removed, or even the offending words themselves, and we are simply to trust the writer that something was e.g. "hateful".

I don’t understand the relevance of this. Are you saying that aggressively targeting cheaters is pampering to wannabe pros or that not aggressively targeting them is pampering wannabe pros?

Another thing that has changed in FPS land is game modes making cheaters WAY more frustrating. It used to be that you get into a lobby, see someone cheating, and could leave and find a new lobby right away. Now with the extremely popular battle royale modes, you don’t encounter the cheater until 20 minutes into a match — via dying in a game mode where dying is “expensive.”

This will probably get lost but it took me a moment to think about it. Its not just PE eating the U.S. economy. It is also U.S. consumers eating the economy.

Consumers are a complete PITA these days. Hard to manage, tons of complaints, looking for the cheapest X. I say this because while I agree there are a lot of movements in the past 2 decades on PE and other investments swallowing up shops, its not always as clear that its the big bad finance guys ruining America. We have small-medium business owners aging out, in a lot of cases no clear succession to the business line and they sell out. It can be a real pain these days to run a business, you not only have to offer the best service, the best product but have to do so at the best price while also managing your PR to identify any attacks that may hurt your business. I can see why people sell out given the opportunity.

I think the framing of this experiment is bad.

It is actually about challenging the user to come up with a random sequence, which is pretty difficult without a coin to flip, an irrational number to copy, etc.

When I just "randomly" mash the keys, the prediction rate is around 70%. I have to intentionally focus to avoid patterns as much as I can and then I'm able to pull it down to 54%.

Dan Ariely[1] did a similar spiel when teaching according to his book. He asked half of class to flip a coin and write down the sequence. The other half was supposed to write down a random sequence without the coin flips. Then he collected the papers, read them out and he claims he was able to tell almost every student whether they did the real coin flips or just simulated ones.

[1] - yes, his papers were retracted because he manipulated data
