Maybe Apple should be able to block people that are not registered Apple users, but as I said I have an Apple account, I own a very old Apple laptop, so if I send a mesage from my PC or I remote enter in the laptop and send the message from there is the same resources used from Apple servers.

From what I understand the problem is Apple refusing to make iOS and Android users communicate smoothly, they downgrade group chats so bad that Android users are bullied and not invited into groups. I am sure those well paid Apple engineers can solve the issue if they care about the customers , at least the ones that maybe have Apple laptops but an Android phone, or an iOS phone but they want to mesage from their Apple laptop running Linux.
Knock, knock.

As you say, you can’t usually “measure” your mental performance. After having this experience, it also explained why I was a more productive programmer in the afternoon (after lunch) and I started eating a light breakfast. My mom wasn’t so dumb after all!
I feel quite confident skipping a few songs on CarPlay. If I needed to do this on my phone, it would be way more dangerous. Now of course not interacting with the media player at all would be safest, but we’re talking about humans here, so banning touch screens ins cars might do more harm than good.
My new Peugeot has climate control on the touch screen, and I have to click a menu button to access it
Yes, it's still harassment. You have other means of expressing your frustration at the company, but contacting individuals directly (who may or may not even be in charge of that aspect of the company!) is not a valid way of doing so.
>If someone has that motive then access to your phone will /not/ be the deciding factor.

Ease of committing a crime is surely a factor in probability of that crime occurring.

Far more people are willing to look over a shoulder for someone’s phone PIN or slip them a roofie to get access to bank account apps and transfer money than they are to confront them while conscious and threaten them to give them their money.

(Hence the advice to keep access information to only nominal amounts of wealth in phones).
Does intel actually have success in this space outside of forcing government entities to use their foundries for what I assume is national security level projects?

Quick google on who their foundry customers are appears to be mostly defense sector.

I have heard that intel has not been the best at working with other customers because they have been so vertically integrated for the entirety of their business it was difficult for them to work with others.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics. This is old era data. The era when this data is collected is when marriage is overwhelmingly the norm for those generations (the life-expectancy data is collected from the current elderly). People who were single presumably could not get married due to lack of societal fitness (health, wealth or other issues etc). This lack of fitness could very well be co-factors for short life.

Data collected for the next 50 years should be more telling as larger swaths of the population are single regardless of fitness and should reveal more truth.
Thanks (and good luck with the project!)
Yeah :(; and streaming might have made it worse since you can now just stay in the same track all day and follow other talk.

You could try to force people to leave after each talk in popular tracks but it would probably take too much time and you would have people leaving early to go back to the queue ...

Since my screen still has a bezel, there's a high likelihood, though perhaps not without spurious touches. Anything more than half an inch off that bezel? No chance.

When the execs of tech companies are still able to make several orders of magnitude more money than any of the programmers they employ, and their companies are able to make profits in the trillions, with a t, no; programmers' time is not priced appropriately for the amount of productivity we enable.

Overnight repurchase agreements give banks seemingly off the books money to invest in commodity and equity markets. They are a direct driver of inflation. Banks are able to maintain positions and their balances by purchasing Treasury products at 11:59pm and having the fed buy them back at 12:01am. They are supposed to be used strictly for emergency liquidity situations but as you can see from the chart we got very far away from that. They are finally coming down but still very high. They are the primary reason for the record inflation.

Not true -- my personal account (free basic plan) had this tab/option and I was "opted in" by default. I managed to change this setting before the AI tab disappeared.
I wonder why we do not yet have a hybrid to physical buttons and a touch screen. How I see it, you have a dashboard that has your main touchscreen but also has several buttons and knobs that are "blank", when you setup your vehicle you can decide what actions these buttons perform and they have a small screen on the front to tell you what they do at any given time.
> In C, Zig, Rust, C++ (hardish) I can sit down with pen and paper and map out the layout of memory and take informed decisions on cache locality, access patterns, etc.

When direct control over your memory is important, you're better off using those languages. When working with idiomatic C#, you really don't think about direct memory management. The garbage collector is excellent, and in many cases, it can outperform systems like reference counting.

The primary critical tradeoff with C#'s garbage collector is memory footprint. When you directly control your memory, you can free it as soon as it's not needed. (We can typically say that the extra RAM is cheaper than developer time... Until it's not, and then "map out the layout of memory" becomes worth it.)

The secondary critical tradeoff with C#'s garbage collector is that you don't want to write a general-purpose library like SQLite in C#. (You wouldn't want to suck .Net into a Python or Java process.)

But, assuming you're writing a typical web application, server-side batch processing system, desktop application, ect, these tradeoffs often work out in your favor with C#'s garbage collector. (But, if you're running your code on 1000s of memory-constrained servers, "map out the layout of memory" may be cheaper in the long run.)

And, yes, in C# you can do direct memory management with things like unsafe code (pointers and pointer arithmetic,) and structs. In my experience, the one time I did a deep dive into those optimizations, they had no advantage over "idiomatic" C# when I hooked up a profiler.
>Kids can’t even say their favorite show is Peppa Pig cause of one gay couple in the show and other parents are somehow offended.

I have kids, and this is literally the first time I've ever seen anyone mention this. "Peppa Pig" and "[x] likes Peppa Pig" are phrases thrown around with reckless abandon among parents and children.
I have developed/prototyped a voting client with QML/Julia in PeaceFounderClient [1]. Few weeks ago I made bundling setup for it and have published bundles [2].

> I similarly like nationalism because it helps preserve distinct cultures

That's not what nationalism does, though. In the sense of liberatory and separatist movements (e.g. Catalonian, Scottish, Kurdish), sure, but in the more common sense (e.g. Russian, German, British) it's an oppressive collectivist movement that actually tries to eliminate local cultural diversity by imposing a rigid interpretation of "the national culture" and suppressing any deviation from it. Even in seemingly homogeneous European countries you have language minorities (not just dialects: e.g. Sorbs/Wends are a group native to Germany but culturally distinct and speaking a different language in addition to German, which is imposed as the national language).

I think what you describe sounds more like what Democratic Confederalism strives to do, i.e. form bottom-up self-governing groups via a system of delegation and confederation. This doesn't require a state (which "nationalism" usually implies, often with strong authoritarian undertones in the name of protectionism) and it doesn't require top-down control. Democratic Confederalism is actually best suited for regions that are culturally heterogeneous and would pose difficulties for central governments (e.g. Lebanon, which went out of its way to force a proportional political representation of Christianity and the two major Islamic traditions in order to do justice to its distinct religious-cultural minorities but still ended up with Hezbollah).

Ultimately it's not a lack of "nationalism" that is creating global cultural homogeneity but the commercialization and commodification of culture: Hawaiian religious practices are converted into generic Tiki torches and flower garlands made in China and sold at Walmart, German Karneval and Oktoberfest become beer binges and so on. Local customs are sanitized, decontextualized, synthesized and replicated as a commodity until the original is lost and only the copy remains and has become interchangeable. This is what "cultural appropriation" originally means: creating a no-name knock-off version of someone else's culture and selling it as a commodity, often resulting in the knock-off existing beside the original in direct competition and eliminating it through the power of the market (because a focus group tested sanitized plastic version will easily outcompete the original).
Well, USB is a standard - you would expect a standard USB output to deliver a standard voltage.
Some people do enjoy the role of DM. Personally, I like it. I get to create the world and decide how it and its inhabitants react to player actions.

I’m also not limited to the character options or a single character. I can create anything I like and run with it.

Do I want a village of fox people? Grab a monster, adjust the stats, and decide on a few personalities.

The goal isn’t to tell a story. The goal is to create a playground and let the players tell the story while you get to play anything they encounter.

I have asked players to not do certain things because I’m running out of a book to save prep time and don’t have as much flexibility as I’d like to give them. Any players that have an issue with that are free to leave my game. We’re here to have fun and if everyone (including me) is not having fun, something needs to change.
Have you guys developed cross-browser PWAs? They are full of incosistencies, glitches and more. The quality achieved from native is far better.

Sure if you're a startup and it's PWA or nothing, go for it. Else do a native app and give it platform native behaviors.
That sounds awful. When you’re in lane 3/6 on a highway doing 85mph… “oh shit my window is starting to fog up, lemme try and navigate my way to the shoulder with my quickly diminishing visibility so I can press a button then try and merge into a busy highway from a standstill”.

Just design the vehicle better. I can see the status of my HVAC without taking my eyes off of the road—it’s on a display mounted on top of my dash, forward toward the windshield—and turn on defrost mode with the press of a single, large physical button inset inside a large knob which provides a clear touch cue.[0] I have never had to take my eyes off the road to adjust any of this system.

I agree communication is better when everyone is present. If a remote team was required to be available that would solve most of the problems. It’s about the culture of WFH which currently assumes slow async responses.

I've been doing something similar based off of what I've been calling "intentionally overspaced repetition". I'm interested as well in how you're going about it.
I'm sorry your school is so weird. Could or be true, though, that your lived experience is one factor and phones are another factor?

For context, my experience with school had been different, so I do think they is a lot of variety. I also see that different families have different uses of technology. Some I find healthier than others, for my definition of healthy which is using it more to explore and be curious but less to mindlessly pass time.

I've been playing on lichess for about 10-15 years, started playing when I was over 30. I probably average one 5+0 game a day. I don't play in tournaments. Usually one game for a break and then get back to work.

My philosophy is skill level and rating doesn't affect enjoyment.

Whether I'm rated 700 or 2700, once my rating stabilizes, I win as many games as I lose.

I have the capacity to improve a little with a lot of work, but, eventually my rating will stabilize and once again I'll have equal wins to loses.
Personally, I feel that HAC has aged surprisingly well compared to other books of that era. It’s focus on theory and fundamentals helps there. I still think it has some of the best introductions to cryptography topics. But, yes, read it in combination with a newer resource like Coursera’s Crypto I course, or Serious Cryptography by Aumasson. (I wouldn’t recommend the Boneh/Shoup book for newcomers. It is still very much a draft).
I have been to well-organized conferences that had the foresight to put popular sessions in larger auditoriums, and it largely eliminated lines and the unhappiness of not being able to get into a session that you wanted to attend.
It seems I don't understand what you're talking about. Sorry! I must have been very unclear in my parent post...

What makes you believe I think I can't safely operate my car? I don't know what “mirror checks” you mean?
You do not have to target best absolute performance. You can choose your own fitness functions to balance absolute performance and other aspects of the system like resource usage, latency, or any other aspects of the application. Think about what logic the operator would use to establish the parameter and capture it as code or as fitness function.

As usual, there is no single universal solution to optimising performance (and in fact it can be trivially proven to not exist in general case). But you do not have to find perfect solution, you just have to be able to find as good or better solution than a human operator would.

When you have a large system you can be working with thousands or tens of thousands of parameters. I usually see that even if the application is migrated to different hardware, the configuration parameters like buffer sizes, concurrency, connection pools, etc. are not really revisited. The effect is that usually the application will work suboptimally for the environment it is in.

My solution is an attempt to keep this part of application configuration sufficiently close enough to optimal to be usable and do it automatically without operator involvement (and associated cost and possibility for defects).
This is the right way to do Raspberry Pi projects, but I think tying it so strongly to Go is a mistake. Is that really necessary?

You can ask anyone who uses them. Most people will say they feel like they're distracted and taking their eyes off the road while trying to navigate the UI on their touch screen, and the remaining people overestimate their multitasking abilities.

how do you justify the salary of a junior programmer if you can't justify giving them the space they need to perform? isn't this just throwing money away?

The problem is not the need to bin-pack, the problem is completeness. Sidecars and multiple containers are used for logging, backups, etc. Not to mention that if you grab a manifest or chart for an app, it is going to have pods with multiple containers (whether that's strictly needed or not), and those won't work on fly.io.

This is a critical feature available in every Kubernetes offering, and as such people rely on it. Trying to say that maybe you can do without is missing the forest for the trees.

Like saying that your C compiler doesn't need arrays because it has pointers: sure, maybe, but now good luck compiling any existing code. Maybe don't call it a C compiler if no C program will work on it unmodified.
>Two reasons: one is that the idea that there was mass censorship of scientific debate is a right-wing trope

It's really not. Here's the problem, even if it is. Lets even say this is all wrong, no censorship at all happening.

What's happening because of the perception is that the medical community is losing a significant portion of people. The trust in medical field is dropping. https://www.pewresearch.org/science/2022/02/15/americans-tru...

Now look at who those groups are who distrust medicine the most. It is 'right winger priests' but also it's elected officials and journalists. They are generally speaking who got censored. Funny how so many medical professionals lost their job because they wouldn't take the vaccine? Weird.

But what is the consequences of this drop in trust? Less then half of people are getting the flu shot now. There was very low uptake on covid boosters.

So lets talk personally.

I am up to date on all sterilizing vaccines. I used to go first day for the flu shot, every year. I got 'fully vaccinated' for covid.

I never went for any boosters and haven't gotten flu shots since the censorship started. Seems to me the correct decision because I am unable to make an informed decision anymore. I believe I was intentionally misinformed about the covid vaccines. What's the medical profession's ethics on this?

I believe in the flu shot and similar, I think everyone should get the MMR, TDAP etc. But I'm censored from discussing the subject. Me and the many people like me are totally fine accepting that we are censored and we aren't going to get any more shots. If the medical profession thinks it's important for us to get our shots, perhaps they could try not censoring the subject?

>For example, they describe Robert Malone as “an internationally recognized virologist and immunologist” taking care not to mention that what lead to his Twitter account being banned was promulgation of known-false claims about Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine as cures and falsely claiming that the vaccines were cytotoxic.

I am vaguely familiar with Robert Malone. Looking at his wiki page, he literally is a doctor, is literally a person who worked on mrna and was censored. That wiki page is extremely biased, which is normal these days for political wiki. Clear political influence, not scientific or medical doing that.

I guess I'm not familiar with him because of censorship?

You're not helping your argument at all. Thanks for proving my case even more.
or maybe typing on a touch screen sucks
Android is there because it’s what the cheapest devices use and most of the world does not want to pay even iPhone SE pricing. That’s relevant because the play described of making the Pixel lineup more compelling will hit the same problem if it’s tied to more capable hardware which is outside of the budget for many people.
Why Should You (Or Anyone) Become an Engineering Manager?
The Affinity apps being slow to adopt improvements has nothing to do with “enshittification”. They’re not actively doing user-hostile stuff for the sake of their stock price, or anything in that ballpark.

The fact is that different things are “essential” to different users. Whenever they ship a new feature, some users are like “I wanted this!” while many are like “Still not shipping what we’re asking for!”

I do think Affinity should pick up the pace (and they maybe have, a tiny bit, since V2?) and address recurring forum topics more openly. But they’re not “enshittifying” their apps, they’re just not doing what some people wish.
Those workers deserve environments that promote deep focus, as well.

Turns out there are a lot of things we don't need to know the data but it is enough to know how to get it. Take the skill of reading maps in the era of gps as an example, of course it would be beneficial but your brain will not try to remember something that is always avaliable when you needed it

Same goes for a lot of things that we can just quickly lookup nowadays, I don't think its a bad thing but rather the brain doing what it always did and should do - adapting.
Dips and spikes are routine in electrical power delivery. In my experience, dips are much more likely to be the culprit of damaging equipment than spikes. People are used to protection from spikes with surge protectors, but the only thing that protects from dips is a UPS. I use a small UPS as part of my entertainment equipment. Not because I want to watch TV during an outage, but to keep from damaging the equipment with the power dips.
Challenges with Long-Term Projects and How to Manage Them
I'm not sure what exactly you're reading in my words, but I don't really understand why you think it's my "effing job" to provide training for inexperienced developers. My contract stipulates no such thing, and despite what you seem to assume, I have been in fact hired to find solutions, and write code.

It's a little disconcerting to see someone make such self assured inferences about me, based on a single comment.
