I got my first mac through work this year and I hate the UI. It's very nice that it doesn't come with as much bloat (but it does still come it, e.g., Apple news, music, etc). I absolutely hate the window management. Inconsistent behavior on double click of the title bar (Chrome maximizes and Slack doesn't) is annoying. Lack of snapping and tiling (a la super-arrow) drives me nuts. That command-tab will switch me to a different workspace completely defeats the purpose of having a workspace at all. And I also hate the nonstandard keyboard layout and shortcuts.

Yes, you can install a dozen little extra utilities to customize your way out of most of these things... but I'm not going to. I use systems usually quite-close to stock because of how often I'm using not-my-system or how often the system is reimaged or whatever. Also it's a corporate machine and I can't be bothered to see if each and every bodge-app is permitted by security policy.

The hardware is very nice, however. I would totally buy a MBP personally if I could run Windows or Fedora on it, and swap the keyboard for something sensible.
There's no nuclear option yet but I could see it being added down the road if there's enough interest. It's possible in Electron to prevent the user from closing or minimizing an app. Preventing the user from uninstalling it would be a lot more difficult but I've seen other apps accomplish it.
Still reading the article, and really intrigued by and love this idea. But can I just say that I find this intro extremely well written. I feel like the writer is reading my thought process almost. Wvery time I start to form questions about decisions made in the language, it seems to answer them one or two paragraphs later. I feel like this is incredibly rare and yet incredibly important in an intro piece. Nicely done on the author['s]/[s'] part.

I take this refreshing shower at night, when I close my Mac work computer and go use my Windows personal computer. Everything is easy to accomplish, my personal use software just works and I don't have to struggle with extra clicks and movements for everything. It's incredible how different people are - and that's a good thing.
It used to be that you could create a Hackintosh with cheap hardware. Had a really fast "mac" this way a few years back. Unfortunately since apple is moving away from Intel this may not be viable anymore.
Leaked memos from Google show that they stand to gain from antitrust regulation which would help them increase their traffic on iOS and potentially become dominant on that platform.
In the short term, but in the long term it can kill new ideas before they are shared.
The Court of Chancery nearly always rules with the board (VCs) over shareholders (founders). VCs like that.
Or the wonder is right here and we just don’t see it. That was the point of “ Star Trek IV”: The aliens came to Earth, and our conceit is that they would only come to talk to us.
The Windows approach of one button for cycling through windows is a bit less mental overhead than needing multiple keyboard shortcuts to first cycle through applications then windows in that application.

In windows you just mash the key until the thing you want comes up.
similar use case to sqlite as an embedded database system with a columnar/analytics focus.
First reaction was; "This is really dumb. It'll take up twice the width."

But after watching through to the end, Giertz comes off really genuine and it's an inspiring short story of failure and problem solving, and I love that. I believed at the end that she's solving a unique problem. Can't hate on it.
Law isn't like software code. It doesn't have to be put to an exhaustive set of unit tests to 100% pass rate and then worry about anything it might not have covered. The law just needs to signal intent and scope clear enough the judicial system can work with interpreting it to new applications in a way most people can consider consistent.

In the case of cookies, they simply apply to computers and not people. Why? It's not about whether the two are operationally similar it's about whether the two are practically similar. Until every shopkeep meticulously tracks every detail of every customer interaction and starts efficiently sharing them with others, all manually, often enough and at a large enough scale that it becomes a similar privacy concern it's not really worth fretting the law be generic enough to cover the use cases. In such a case it probably even makes sense to just write a separate law which meets the domain's needs more succinctly.
Speaking of crumples, it's interesting that the final design makes the apparent compromise of not folding the clothes down the middle, but slightly off to the side.

But in the discarded invention pile we can see an older design that folds down the exact middle (it has springs on the bottom).
Reminds me of "Noiseless completely silent drape runner"
And how much worse off will a (relatively) low income nation like Portugal be when the serious impact of climate change hit?
Yeah this is the one thing I have against signal and why I always advise against it. Their stance against third party clients and federation.
This has never happened to me. I exclusively listen to music on my phone, and work every day on my Mac. I have never had the Music app open itself up, not once. Nor I have I experienced anything that is even related to music, such as asking me to subscribe to a service.

It actually does work for me, the audible ticking and vocal time status updates keep me aware of the time and constantly brings my attention back to what I'm supposed to be doing. Of course it's only supplemental and not a silver bullet.

It also has alot of customizable options and I think that fact that it's just a single Vue file wrapped in Electron makes it super hackable and easy to adjust to your own preferences too.
So, the government does something unlawful and then the government pay the legal fees that the citizens have incurred to stop the government from taking unlawful actions?

What is the problem exactly? Costs are often awarded in many jurisdictions.

Oh, cool. If I counted that right, there has been 4 unplanned landings by large planes, and a bit more than that of planed landings. But smaller (and slower) planes do that all the time.

The part about smaller planes makes a lot of sense.
Heh. Yeah, didn't even occur to me before you wrote that. Oops. :D
I would be uncomfortable if I had found out your diary contained as much about my daily travel and grocery errands as I know can be bought by marketing firms, or anyone with the right relationships in the industry. For that matter, the friendly greengrocer doesn't know what I bought at the shoe store.
Shit. You do have a really good point. There's not many examples of hanger bars mounted so close to a wall or in a tiny closet already. Most people who might use this would have to be building or installing one for this custom purpose.

I also wondered if it wouldn't make your shirts more wrinkly or have the potential to leave creases. I don't think anyone cares to invest in a space-saving solution like this if it means all their shirts will be wrinkled or creased. Unless space is the primary constraint, like a tiny apartment, tiny house, or custom van build.
The three year part is probably not a problem, if you are in California, because lemon law there applies through the entire factory warranty period. The outage time is 30 days, but maybe you'd count on number of attempts. 4 or more to fix the same problem would do it.
You just come across as someone who is scared because you don't understand.

Seriously, a facility with multiple Internet connections, adequate power and cooling, passive cooling in case of outage, protection against power failures, adequate UPSes, backup generator power, and so on could be my Mom's house. There's nothing special about any of those things that makes them somehow frightening.

"buy tons of replication software"? What industry do you work in? Seriously, nobody who isn't in some clueless "enterprise" would pay good money for things that're widely available in open source.

I'm dismissive because these things aren't difficult if you've actually done them, so I can only assume you've never done them.
Why are we linking to reddit posts and not just the actual source anyway?
RVs frequently have closets where this is a problem. I ended up buying tiny hangers, but would rather have had this.

Yeah that makes sense and sounds like a good system for you! Thanks for the feedback :)
Only not tapped out in the Congo and New Guinea from memory.
Maybe I'm overthinking this, but how on earth did the EU pass a regulation[0] with such far-reaching implications? First Apple opening up to third-party app stores and RCS, now Microsoft giving users a bit more leeway. How come none of the big tech lobby against it in the EU? If it survives the waves of appeals, the DMA will probably change the entire technology landscape in the near future.

Not that I'm complaining of course, but still, quite a surreal moment.

No, I'm afraid we can't do basic math. Nobody will ever know how long it takes for $200 a month to end up costing more than a single outlay of $2000.

These rules aren’t for your dream small business. It’s for a mega corp that would literally not care if you lived or died or if that hammer hit you on the head.
Thanks, I was scanning the replies looking for this since the author of TFA didn't. Note for writers: spell out acronyms on first use.
Yup, this is what I mean about 'we're exceptional' claims.

'It can't work here, and can never work here, because ...' and then followed by some basic math mistakes wrapped up into some wild extrapolations, augmented with some demonstrably pessimistic assumptions that every piece of the stack can't ever get better, or be swapped out for something better.

That suspiciously well-prepared rando on tiktok you used as a citation - the comments attached to that thread quite rightly point out his math mistakes, around hydro generation, dam sizes, and so on.

He's also assuming that rail will never augment / replace large tracts of (currently) road transport - which is a despairingly safe claim in the USA, where rail infrastructure is just awful, but it doesn't need to be forever.

He then assumes the only way you can 'green' truck transport is to use current-tech (Lithium) batteries - this is obviously not the case, and Lithium / solid state batteries are probably NOT the answer there anyway.

He says the logging truck uses 2.5 MW (not MWh) of power per day - and then talks about '3 megawatt battery pack' - not MWh.

Essentially he's ignoring the fact that the height of technology that is transport infrastructure today is the result of a century of roads, mining/drilling, refineries, fuel distribution, engine/truck design.

He's effectively repeating that standard trope - 'green tech' at year #10 isn't as integrated as fossil tech at year #100, so it can be dismissed.

Clearly some practice has gone into reciting this rant, but it's not a compelling argument for the 'we can't get there from here' camp.
Telcos are some of the worst companies I've ever had the displeasure if dealing with as a voluntary customer. I can't even imagine how terrible they become when they have a completely (literally) captive consumer base.
How are you getting unwanted news articles in your Start menu? If I ever had that I removed it instantly, it's two clicks.
Nope, the EU doesn't seem to have any issue with that unfortunately.

Intentionally allowing Nazi posts and not excluding them from ad placements is the same as targeting them with ads.
Would people that minus a post stating facts backed by sources deign to explain why ?

I am aware that reality can be harsh to accept sometimes. And that a world where renewable are our only source of energy is more seducing to our collective imagination.

But unfortunately, it is still the reality. And we have to deal with it, even if it is pretty unpleasant.
Which problem? Please be more clear, more specific instead of using slogans. As I understand you want to cut emissions, reduce it to zero.

Fine.

EV vehicles generally, and EV semis in particular, are a massive impediment to the rapid decarbonization of the transportation sector.

Why?

1. A large EV semi has a gargantuan amount of batteries.

2. Batteries are a finite resource, limited by our ability to produce them.

3. Semi engines are very fuel efficient, as far as thermal cycles go.

4. Cities have very many, very inefficient small vehicles undergoing start-stop cycles Most of these vehicles run on straight gasoline.

5. More carbon can be taken off our transportation network by keeping diesel semis and using the batteries an EV semi would have used to hybridize vehicular traffic.

Go ahead, do the math and see that N5 is correct. For representative numbers compare the F150 that comes in regular, hybrid and EV. When opportunity costs are considered, the hybrid F150 kicks the teeth out of the EV one in carbon emissions.
I won't be surprised if Tesla has not produced 3700 CTs by the end of 2024. Ignoring the question of how many real buyers exist, pricing, etc, producing them is a problem. Elon himself recently said mass production was farther off, as I recall, like 2025. Those nice big flat body panels don't make the truck easier to produce, but quite the opposite.
Of course but most people have no clue how to install an alternative OS. This law is not for us techies but for those people.
The extreme range doesn't eventuate unless you're hauling air (aka potato chips).
In this scenario you could just run the nuclear plant all the time, but just direct its electric production to heating a giant pool of water or whatever.

Then when the grid needs more power you do less of that, and instead send electricity to the grid.
Fair points, and Saudis have a long way to go, they might have funded 9/11 but it was still funding religious extremism. Iraq was definitely the wrong move anyway. At least the Saudis are not expanding and trying to horde all the oil which thankfully we are moving away from.

> The US seems to be letting Putin do as he pleases, how is anyone getting in his way?

Not according to Putin, which is justifying his move precisely because the US and NATO are too close to their border. We are definitely funding Ukraine, at least until recently.
No, but it's FUN!
Most of the options on Kickstarter include both the hangers and low profile rod/brackets (and a shelf on the fancy one). The tier without a rod included says:

> While using your own rod isn't recommended, we got a lot of requests for it so here you go! Please read our FAQ before buying so you're aware of the pros and cons. Some basic DIY knowhow required.

I think she knows the hanger is only useful as part of a system.
Parent comments is positing that only Google can do it with no specific argument on why it would be so. For instance, why would Samsung be barred from doing it ? What about Nothing ? Xiaomi ?

The "monopoly" argument feels like vague hand waiving to me. It's probably a complex and costly situation, but nothing close to why we don't have different browser engines on iOS for instance.
If Musk is such a great guy, why doesn't he make the minimal effort to lay out an argument, instead of saying 'this is the truth' in response to obvious Jew-baiting, and relying on sycophants and apologists to rationalize/reinterpret his actions? That's stereotypical cult leader bullshit.

I personally think Israel is hugely morally culpable and has responded to being the victim of a war crime with multiple war crimes of its own. But while I strenuously disagree with their policy and actions, I managed to say that without invoking garbage global Jewish anti-white conspiracies recycled from the trashheaps of the 19th and 20th centuries.

As for your 'Do you want to be with the humanists or with the extinctionists?' pitch, GTFO with your cheap rhetorical tricks.
I learned some statistics and also how to use JASP which I’m almost certain will come in handy for research later down the track.
It sounds like you may be a victim of the same brainwashing that convinced iraq war volunteers that they were heroes for volunteering to go kill people in iraq, or that they were making people safer.

Unfortunately, the decision actually made the world less safe, and also consumed money that could have been used for education or healthcare. Not sure how complaining about teachers and doctors helps make society better, either.

Meanwhile, teaching and medicine still are making the world a better place.

So, if you just want to shoot guns, do it at home or a range or something. If you want to kill people, seek help. Neither make you a hero. But volunteering to teach the future or care for people? More likely does.

Just curious why you used an address that's associated with you. Choosing the address of a place like a park, which is a real address that has no mailbox or direct association with you, ought to be the default if you don't want to be spammed to hell and back.

Performance Trade-Offs of Watermarking Large Language Models
I remain skeptical because it is easy enough to pass the output from a LLM through a filter, a scrubber, another LLM, or whatever. Furthermore, people (humans) typically alter the outputs as well.

Here is another fresh paper on the same topic from Chinese researchers:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.09535

While they discuss some attacks, they too do not consider altering the output from a LLM, possibly through f(g(h(...))).
Yes, he had a 10 year head start, exclusive deals with battery manufacturers and unlimited money. He squandered most of it.
A follow up question I have is why create a company if you think you’re gonna have no to little revenue?
Why not just wait until you actually make money to register? Adding a business entity before having any cash flow will probably only make your life more complicated.
Anything but simple and anything but linear.

I find macOS annoying no matter what I do. AltTab is nice, but the window management still sucks in my opinion. The security bandages used to work around traditional desktop security models makes it feel incredibly annoying to use; I'll try to set a keyboard shortcut (not a global one mind you) in iTerm2 and suddenly I need to enable iTerm2 to have accessibility access?

Disabling SIP is needed for a myriad of things that aren't really that advanced, like for example, it is needed for some reason by some of the macOS "tiling WM" toys, and it's needed to even use any kexts. No joke: Discord will direct you to disable SIP if you want to .. capture audio during screenshares. It's also needed for macFUSE.

macOS also has no equivalent to WSL2. "But it's POSIX!" I can hear you say. Very fair point, but there are a lot of uses for lightweight Linux VMs, like, well, testing Linux things. Docker Desktop tries but it's slow. I really wanted to like Podman Desktop but it's similarly slow, and I had trouble with networking in a difficult-to-debug way. I strongly recommend Orb Stack here: it basically brings the WSL2 experience to macOS, except maybe even a bit better, vastly prefer it to Docker Desktop. That said, it's a monthly cost, which is definitely not ideal. There's also Colima but I have to say I don't love it either; no IPv6 support isn't a killer but it was annoying to find out the hard way.

I could probably make do with macOS if forced, but I wouldn't enjoy it. That said, I can't really take having to deal with the rest of the Apple ecosystem, so I am stuck very deep into Linux. To be fair, this is nothing new for me: Linux has been my primary desktop OS since high school. But I wouldn't say it's a good desktop OS. I mostly use it because I don't really feel like I have any other options and I already paid the cost to get deep into it anyway.

(I don't hate everything about Apple obviously, but to be honest, my desire to use Apple Silicon devices was mostly tied to high hopes for Asahi Linux)
Here's all you need to know about identifying and preventing contract value leakage to maximize the benefits of their contractual agreements.
Excellent point. Experienced that pain last year.
I have more questions about the enormously high bed stand in the opening shot. It immediately makes tons of sense (so much otherwise wasted vertical space in a room), but I have never seen such a thing.
When my son was about 5 months old, he was crawling in the bathroom floor while I was getting dressed in the adjacent walk-in closet. He was playing with the closet door and closed it. I didn't think much of it, but then I noticed that he had also opened a drawer which prevented me from opening the door from the closet (terrible apartment design!). I was stuck in the closet alone, without my phone, unable to get out. I panicked a little bit since it was early in the day and my spouse wouldn't return in about 10 hours. Long story short, I McGyver'ed my way out thanks to a wire hanger that I found in the closet: I straightened it and used it to push the drawer back in through the tiny slit that was left through the door and the frame. I used to hate wire hangers too, now I make sure I always have a few in every closet, just in case, you never know :)
