Apparently they didn’t push the Cortana key either. And they say it will “eventually” be required. As a keyboard manufacturer why would I listen to Microsoft? Why would I add a key that supports a product I see no benefit from? Just so I can trend even though my customers don’t want it?

I ask because this makes the “Microsoft is going to require it so the other keys don’t count” argument useless. Who cares what Microsoft requires for their own hardware?

Feels more like Google+ to me... push untested features that no one asked for but miss getting the basics right. I mean GitHub/Copilot tells me all the time that it will change the way I develop and everytime I look at windows they are still not able to implement a proper dark mode.
There are a ton of people like this, trying to flag plant obvious “duh” ideas so they can jump in and say “see I knew it would require some kind of long term memory!”… Duh?

There is a direct train Stockholm-Copenhagen and then Copenhagen-Hamburg. Just hope you don't run into some unforeseen disruption.

Edit: Looking at bahn.de, I found a direct train from Stockholm to Hamburg,[1] no need for a change in Copenhagen. There was also an option to change in Malmö instead of Copenhagen.

> If the dispute is rejected, that’s still not the end of the story. The uploader can press the dispute further. Doing so forces the claimant to either abandon their claim, or ‘upgrade’ it to a formal DMCA takedown. If a takedown is issued and the uploader believes their work is not infringing, they can respond with a counter-notification, which forces the claimant to either (a) sue the uploader within ten days, or (b) lose the dispute. In the latter case, the video goes back up and any escrow revenue - along with all future revenue - goes to the uploader instead of the copyright claimant.

Many video creators have reported not being given that option, and having the claimant's rejection being treated as the end of the process with no further recourse. If YouTube reliably always gave the option to switch to the DMCA process, to everyone, that would be less of a problem.

> Just because 7 is similar to 8 and 9 doesn't mean it has to get the same treatment.

Why not? As you appear to agree, it's the same problem for all of them, and the problem is a simple one that should never have reached this point in the first place. So all of them should be held to the same standard. If that means not certifying the 7, it should also mean revoking the certification of the 8 and 9 until the issue is fixed.

> Boeing should fix their shit.

Indeed. And since the same shit is on Max 8 and 9, they should fix those too now that the shit has been discovered, and be held to the same standard for all. I don't understand why you aren't arguing for that.

Agreed, it seems inevitable that Google will enshitify Chrome by making ad-block tools unreliable. They've already started. That makes FF the "ad-block browser", and anyone who hates ads, scams, and malvertising will flee Chrome. Maybe we will see Chromium forks dominate, but I'm less sure about that.

>We don't NEED all these expensive boomer pilots with 10,000 hours of experience and combat time over Vietnam/Iraq/Afghanistan.

Genuinely curious: what aspect of flying an F18 in a hostile environment with a goal of destroying things while trying to stay alive is useful for flying a 400-passenger airliner? You might say "well, the trying-to-stay-alive portion is relevant", but that involves things like high-g turns which airliners are not so good at, and ultimately ejecting is the final option, also not so good with 400 passengers on board. "It's a jet engine!" Ok? So? Does that mean I can't drive an EV if I qualified on gasoline? Does that mean I am qualified to drive an 18 wheeler because I've previously driven a Ferrari? (No, it does not).

It seems to me that F18 flight hours contributing towards Boeing 787 pilot certification is a jobs program for military pilots. Not saying that's not a good idea: we need (for now) a strong human air force.
Ask retail business owners in downtown San Francisco whether their business is hurt by drug use in the area. I'd guess over 95% would say it definitely does. Also at least in some small ways it does hurt their customers. Just yesterday I had a lot of trouble finding a local business that would allow me to use a restroom, even if I was a paying customer. They didn't have to explain the reason.
They're not incredibly productive - I had two or three one time and we never ate them because it just seemed like a lot of work (to prepare them) for not much food (and you would have been hard pressed to get more than one or two full leaves per plant per week or so). Whereas strawberries, herbs, peppers, and citrus just needed to be washed, cut, and eaten.

They are very pretty when they flower, though.
I also had that guide!

But I feel like that this isn't really the same experience. The Pokémon guide feels closer to the game than the Zelda one, especially since the Zelda games are known for their riddles - which are very hard to properly transcribe in a guide, imo.

Some of Zelda's best riddles can be rendered useless as soon as you read the solution (thinking about a very good one in Phantom Hourglass I'll never be able to experience again) - but the Pokémon ones still feel fresh, especially since the games rely so much on exploration, grinding and battling.
Just learned the other day to be careful when using what appears to be a saw for flush cuts (Suizan I think) that the little blades stick up/out a bit so its not good to use for flush cutting a dowel since it marks up the surface. I think putting some painters tape down helps when in doubt.

Like I mentioned in my comment, the goal wasn't to morality-police, but to point out how the externalities of truck ownership in a dense area fall on others.

And I disagree that it's inane or trivial. Motor vehicle crashes kill ~45k Americans per year, the leading preventable cause of death for everyone 4-21 years old and the second-leading cause for 22-67 year olds [1], and the numbers are climbing. As my comment pointed out, light trucks are ~50% deadlier in collisions with pedestrians (don't have the data on-hand for other vehicle inhabitants). Anecdotally, I have friends and family members who have been hit by cars and lucky enough to survive, but (knowing the details of the cases) likely would not have were they hit by a 5'-bonnet-height truck.

I agree trucks aren't made for tooling around cities, but for heavier duty activites. What's upsetting is that more and more vehicles like this _are_ being used for city and suburban daily driving where all of their externalities are at their worst and none of their utility is needed.

Pentagon is a Prisma-like ORM built on top of Deno KV. Allows you to write your database schemas and relations using Zod schemas, and run queries using familiar syntax from Prisma.

I really like the simplicity, and lack of any build step or extra tooling.

I'm considering adding support for other KV stores such as Redis, if someone would find that useful :)

When i say it's 'no longer needed' I'm talking about behaviors which were previously useful for survival that have out grown their usefulness.

There is a certain point where one crosses into being grossly over conservative with their spending. I'm not casting any judgements of course, but when you reach that point you should probably stop and draft a will defining what should happen with your money. If you're unwilling to either spend it or give it away in life, know that it will either be spent or given away for you in death.
John Ousterhout had famously written that threads were bad, and many people agreed with him because they seemed to be very hard to use.

Google software avoided them almost always, pretty much banning them outright, and the engineers doing the banning cited Ousterhout

Yeah this is simply not true. It was threads AND async in the C++ world (and C++ was of course most of the cycles)

The ONLY way to use all your cores is either threads or processes, and Google favored threads over processes (at least fork() based concurrency, which Burrows told people not to use).

For example, I'm 99.99% sure MapReduce workers started a bunch of threads to use the cores within a machine, not a bunch of processes. It's probably in the MapReduce paper.

So it can't be even a little true that threads were "avoided almost always"

---

What I will say is that pattern to say fan out requests to 50 or 200 servers and join in C++ was async. It wasn't idiomatic to use threads for that because of the cost, not because threads are "hard to use". (I learned that from hacking on Jeff Dean's tiny low latency gsearch code in 2006)

But even as early as 2009, people pushed back and used shitloads of threads, because ASYNC is hard to use -- it's a lot of manual state management.

e.g. From the paper about the incremental indexing system that launched in ~2009

https://research.google/pubs/large-scale-incremental-process...

https://storage.googleapis.com/gweb-research2023-media/pubto...

Early in the implementation of Percolator, we decided to make all API calls blocking and rely on running THOUSANDS OF THREADS PER MACHINE to provide enough parallelism to maintain good CPU utilization. We chose this thread-per-request model mainly to make application code easier to write, compared to the event-driven model. Forcing users to bundle up their state each of the (many) times they fetched a data item from the table would have made application development much more difficult. Our experience with thread-per-request was, on the whole, positive: application code is simple, we achieve good utilization on many-core machines, and crash debugging is simplified by meaningful and complete stack traces. We encountered fewer race conditions in application code than we feared. The biggest drawbacks of the approach were scalability issues in the Linux kernel and Google infrastructure related to high thread counts. Our in-house kernel development team was able to deploy fixes to ad- dress the kernel issues

To say threads were "almost always avoided" is indeed ridiculous -- IIRC this was a few dedicated clusters of >20,000 machines running 2000-5000+ threads each ... (on I'd guess ~32 cores at the time)

I remember being in a meeting where the indexing VP mentioned the kernel patches mentioned above, which is why I thought of that paper

Also as you say there were threads all over the place in other areas too, GWS, MapReduce, etc.

It's not mandatory, and there is a chance it never will be. Just like the office key.

I think what you're saying is that you find those temperatures very cold. You asked what "inhabited places" are colder than that; I gave you a list of countries totalling around 200 million people who would not find Icelandic winters cold. I'm not sure they'd be too happy with a high of 11 in the summer though.

>Specifically, investigators have examined how the Apple Watch works better with the iPhone than with other brands, as well as how Apple locks competitors out of its iMessage service. They have also scrutinized Apple’s payments system for the iPhone, which blocks other financial firms from offering similar services, these people said.

I'm not sure if current U.S. antitrust law condemns this behavior from Apple. In general, companies have no duty to deal with competitors. It can be anticompetitive to worsen access for competitors from a prior baseline without a procompetitive justification, but it's generally not anticompetitive to never offer access at parity with your own products (self preferencing) in the first place.

While these are reasonable complaints, it might take new legislation from Congress to remedy. I'm looking forward to seeing the actual complaint when it is filed so we can assess whether the Justice Department is working within existing frameworks or is instead attempting to push the envelope of antitrust law without Congressional authorization.

Still, this article is helpful in that is tells us what areas are the focus of the government's case (notably: nothing about the App Store).
I really hope Big Tech, including but not limited to Apple, gets broken up, they've gotten too big and have expanded far beyond tech, and I'm not sure we're all the better for it.
It's a shame that something as basic as using a keyboard with a computing device can be copyrighted/patented. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Yes, and X% of drug use is going to be "irresponsible". The societal burden doesn't change from phrasing.
>Specifically, investigators have examined how the Apple Watch works better with the iPhone than with other brands, as well as how Apple locks competitors out of its iMessage service.

I'm suspicious that much of this is a ploy to weaken the tight security controls & encrypted data so that the US government (and potentially other governments?) can get easier access to surveillance data on US citizens.

If you enjoy your weekends and are equally grateful kids don't work 12 hour days, and someone didn't die at work today, perhaps you could get off the fence.
What I find bizarre is that this is often discussed without considering the specifics of the app.

I agree that not every app must be cross-platform. Text editors are a good example. The economics may or may not be more difficult. Yes the audience is smaller but the cost may be lower as well and you may have a competitive edge over cross-platform apps.

The problem with starting a single platform app is that you have to decide very early on that you're not going to need any collaboration/sharing features (unless the app is built on top of some cross-platform protocol or file format) and that you're not going to serve multi-platform users any time soon. This is a big decision with far reaching consequences.

I think there's a risk for developers (and tech bloggers) to become so enamoured with the fine details of their platform of choice that they lose touch with the priorities of the user community.

The New Rules of Data Privacy (2022)
Trains are pretty awesome, especially in small Europe. Flying always comes with security hassle. A train is just: get in/get out.

If Europe would just spent more money on infrastructure.

We have trains in Germany that can do 350km/h but I've yet to ride one that goes faster than 200, probably because the rails aren't what they're used to be.

Then we have the Germany Ticket. A 50€/month subscription to all regional trains (not the fast ones). Which removes the hassle of dealing with local subway and bus companies.

But the trains are often late, which sucks, especially if you want to ride in the evening.

If Europe could get on Japan's level, that would be a dream.
Is that his point? Or is his point that shipping rails with his own personal linting preferences is a good idea? (For what it's worth, I think it's a perfectly fine idea).
It's wonderful knowing there are people out there ready to police my body and my lifestyle! Truly, what's better than to be protected from myself, for my own good of course!

I grew up in a totalitarian regime; to see the same authoritarian streaks being now replicated by westerners is mind blowing. They told us how to live, how to cut our hair, what to think, moment after moment, day after day, year after year after year, all for this idea of "harmonious society", a society in their image, crushing any individuality, any originality.

Is it so hard to live and let live?
I'm curious if Apple actually uses they software they write. Surely they must right? And if so, then how do they not improve it. Or if they don't ... perhaps they don't use other software so they don't understand how things could be different?
