If you do not see those statements as complementary, that is on you, not on me.

Most people who buy cars don't actually give a shit how many cylinders, spark plug configuration, or hamsters are involved in the engine. They want to know that it will work and not cost them too much in fuel, maintenance, insurance, and repairs. They want it to "look good" for their sense of style, and they want it to be a "safe" car.

In order, it's usually price, style, then fuel efficiency (not engine, but whole car fuel efficiency), insurance cost, and everything else. For some people, it ends up being style, price, then everything else.

Because you can risk other people's money instead of your own while learning. If you're successful then great, you'll get a huge bonus. If you fail, you may get fired but still you didn't lose your own nest egg. And if you succeed consistently, it's enough to build a track record and leave to start your own fund.

Titanic: What Was Included in a Ticket?
Basically, the first point of the summary of what the DMA is for basically invalidates anything Apple is doing:

> Example of the “don'ts” - Gatekeeper platforms may no longer:

> treat services and products offered by the gatekeeper itself more favourably in ranking than similar services or products offered by third parties on the gatekeeper's platform

I find it hard to see what is not 'more favorable' about staying within the walled garden. All their rules are made to terrify people that would step outside it.

At least that's my reading of it.
The equilibrium position is you can invest your own money, then take money off others, invest that too and take a %.

The danger zone is for small investors, where it doesn't make sense to advertise to them because the regulations are too demanding, margins too small and people tend to be flighty or need lots of hand-holding. That is basically why it there aren't "invest in stock!" signs on every ad stand.

And good financial advice tends to be boring and doesn't change much. The same strategy tends to work in all weather - invest a little bit in everything, invest a bit more in things that do well and try not to take on unnecessary tax burdens.

Maybe read through the documentation and try it out. It has very robust configuration options, many pre-built modules that are ready to include in your prompt, for example, one that prints git info for the current location if it's a repository.

So yes, it is kind of a competitor to p10k, but not zsh. It's just the prompt, and it just focuses on being a very good prompt tool.
A category theory textbook opens the "motivation and use cases" section with the following poem:

Don't be an ass. Someone saying what they would do isn't a criticism of NASA's ability to engineer. If it was worded more strongly it might be a criticism of NASA management, but even then neither side would be objectively correct.
We can also say that about the big Apple topic which is going on currently, yet that one is acceptable.

I wouldn't call it a "grand conspiracy" so much as a "plain case of human greed".

Intel does everything in it's power to stymie AMD in the late 80s, all of the 90s, and the early 2000s - that's an established fact on record. It wasn't a "grand conspiracy", it was just the dominant power exerting it's force.
I'm in my 50s and I don't think I changed that much. I pushed back on all these things when I was in my 30s. I avoided going to work for companies that had reputation of being badly managed. I never asked "how high" when someone said "jump". Never. I was good at what I did and that was more than enough. I was always highly opinionated and independent and it was never a problem finding great teams where that was valued.

I still don't mind working longer hours when I'm excited about something.

The all-nighters are definitely gone. But that was basically when I hit 30 or so. And when I did work all night, it's because I enjoyed doing it and I could do it. I started as a teen on personal projects.

On the pro side, I've got enough experience that I avoid a lot of mistakes that I've made when I was younger, and I'm able to help the teams I lead avoid those same mistakes. That makes a huge difference.

During lunch today my coworkers and I were discussing it because it seemed like a weird choice: nitrogen. But after reading the story, I guess I can understand. It's fairly innocuous, effective, and I guess, all things considered, fairly humane.

The article reads to me like nobody involved understands that we're bathed in nitrogen all the time. I get O2 sensors, but going on about it possibly leaking around the mask, and signing a waiver, and pooling... Give anyone in the vicinity a cannula hooked to an O2 bottle and all fears solved, right?

Reminds me of this time I was out with a couple friends for a beer. One asked me what "on Nitro means, is that like nitrous oxide?" I told her "I don't think so, I think it means nitrogen. You know, that stuff you're breathing?" "You mean oxygen?" "Air is mostly nitrogen, only a little oxygen." <to my other friend> "Did you know this?!?" She nods.
I was thinking today about an Instagram or Twitter like clone that only allowed pictures taken through the app to be posted. You could use a model like the one TikTok released recently to do a depth map of the image and make sure it wasn't just a picture of a picture.

How would you bootstrap such a thing? I imagine offering a fraternity or sorority a portion of the company to get their members posting and then ad blitzing their campus and hope to spread from there.

Butter was invented in Africa a long time ago. Chickens got domesticated in SE Asia and China, introduced to India thousands of years later. So India can’t now claim they invented either.

Financial advisors generally charge a flat management fee (for example 1% of AUM).

Hedge funds generally charge a management fee plus a performance fee. This is why hedge funds and other similar structures are much more lucrative and acquire more talent.
> that’s assuming 1 smartphone/citizen, which is probably too much.

sure kids <5 years old probably don't own smart devices. But many those EU citizens will own also ipad, apple watch and probably some older devices that they use from time to time (as a backup)
What they're really asking for is interoperability and openness with none of the cruft and dark patterns.

E.g., a music service that doesn't exploit artists or users, an interoperable messaging and calling system, a GPS mapping system, a way to spend and check their finances, RSS, and some way of interacting with their friends and family.

An e-ink device with a decent battery life could potentially do a lot of these things, but their processors are seldom great, and most apps aren't made with e-ink in mind, so render like crap. Android has also become quite bloated.

Perhaps proper Linux is our only hope.
I've eaten it earlier, multiple times.

Whoever invented it, it tastes too sweet to me. Probably due to the amount of onion (1) in it, an issue I come across in Indian veg gravy dishes too.

> The goal of AGI is not to emulate a human.

I am not sure if that's accurate based on the researchers I read and listen to.

> AGI will be an alien intelligence

Possibly. Remains to be seen.

> and will almost immediately surpass human intelligence.

There's no proof that will be the case, we just assume that because of the advancement of technology in the past 50 years. It may well be an accurate assumption, then again it may not be. This is very much a case of, "We won't know until it happens."
Someone always pays for the cost to develop and maintain the OS. In the Windows model it's the user. In the iOS model it's the app developer. I don't find the argument that either is superior particularly compelling, and certainly don't see a reason for legislators to be involved in dictating which model a particular company should use.

OSs are expensive things to build and maintain, and I don't take for granted the fact that my iPhone XS Max (2018) is running the latest version if iOS. If Apple's App Store pricing structure makes that possible, then it's certainly working for me.

WebKit does not support blocking Web Request, which is what uBlock Origin uses (See compatibility matrix at the bottom of https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Web...)
In fact, it is all about blocking Web Request, not say, Manifest V2 vs Manifest V3 (Firefox supports MV3 but adds blocking Web Request support.)
The question is better phrased as "why is there such a large imbalance between two symmetry types?".

A parallel similar but different disparity is left handed V. right handed sugars with mirror chirality.

The answer, on Earth, wrt organic life, is that any tiny initial imbalance in sugar types way back when was doomed to be amplified as the dominant type was replicated forward.

It's not so clear what happened in this universe to cause a matter | anti-matter imbalance.

Perhaps any of the multiverses that had a perfect balance self destructed and had no remaining intelligent life remaining to ponder why it no longer existed .. and all the remaining universes had an imbalance of one type or the other . . .
You can always just not get an iPhone. But in the EU, they'll regulate the direction you can wipe your ass.
Alternatively someone could start up their own commercial water supply business if other businesses feel their only option is unfair. By acting poorly towards businesses the original company would have messed up their long term market share for a short term profit.
Maybe there's a middle ground -- is the production subsidized? If so, drop the subsidies and let the market decide.

I like your idea better, but perhaps a softer touch might get more traction?
Yes and no. Idk if they validate you own the domain, i think they just care that your nameservers point to theirs. I recently setup a couple sites in cloudflare and they just asked to set 2 different nameservers on the domain registrar (not namecheap, but spaceship.com). See here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup...

I had also created my "worker pages" app/project in cloudflare before updating my nameservers in spaceship.

But i do have namecheap domains as well and used firebase hosting (google) and they DID ask to have certain TXT records to be added to namecheap and validated before provisioning my ssl cert.

I'm assuming every provider is different. But yea i would just undo the CF nameserver until you're ready to go live
Really? It was exactly what I expected. What did you expect?
Well you missed the sarcasm and my point. The terms “matter” and “antimatter” are human designations. We’re made of matter because we say so.
I was just wondering if Daft Social was going to sustain itself through user monetization (sales, ads, donations, etc), it's totally cool if its based on some other mechanism. Just curious.
> Apple already does that marketing. It’s why I bought an iPhone rather than an android phone.

Do you believe that if sideloading is offered on the iPhone that the majority of Apple users will be able to make an informed decision about whether or not it's safe to use 3rd-party stores?

This is exactly what I'm getting at: it cannot simultaneously be true that iOS customers already know the security/choice tradoeffs and are opting into the market fully informed about their decisions specifically because they want a walled garden, and also be true that those same people's brains are going to suddenly, magically turn off and they'll be incapable of making security decisions if they ever have an option in the iOS settings to enable sideloading.

Given that we know that lots of people buy Apple phones, and given that we know that many of those same users would choose to sideload possibly malicious apps without hesitation even though doing so would open them up to security risks -- the only explanation that reconciles those two contradictory facts is that the majority of iOS users are not thinking about security or user choice at all. And that's an explanation that's supported by what we seen in the real world as well: when talking to non-technical iOS users they don't tend to have strong opinions about this (if they even know what the debate is in the first place). If you go to a random person on the street and ask them why they bought an iPhone, "app store policy" will not be their response.

You may not be in that category; maybe you did buy an iPhone specifically because you wanted a closed ecosystem. But if so, you are not representative of the majority of iPhone users. The majority of iPhone users don't know what an "alternate browsing engine" is. The majority of iPhone users have probably never thought about how the app store works or whether they agree with it. They don't have preferences in any direction; the majority of iPhone users currently think we're all giant nerds for having this conversation at all.

And being informed about that conversation is what we're talking about when we talk about education. None of this is to say that people couldn't be educated enough to make informed decisions about sideloading or that they're incapable of thinking about security, but you're fooling yourself if you think an average smartphone user is currently thinking about app store policies at all when they buy a smartphone.
> There are literally thousands of options for configuring your device in the Preferences app. Should we put all of them in front of the user's face the first time they set up their phone?

This is an absurd comparison. The choice of picking the default web browser, a complex pieces of critical software on everyone's mobile device, is categorically different than almost every single one of the other preferences on the device. You'd have to be completely insane to claim that e.g. the preference of whether a double-tapping space on the soft keyboard should insert a period is remotely comparable to choosing the default web browser.
I love USB-C. Its awesome with one cable I'm able to plug in multiple different models of computer to my monitor and get 3440x1440 160Hz + multiple USB 3.0 + audio + 65W power. Or go to my desk at work and plug into my dock and get multi monitors + gig networking + multiple USB ports + audio + 90W power. I'll take that over proprietary dock connectors any day.

I love that the same power adapter I use to charge one computer works with all my computers, my portable game console, my headphones, my portable speaker, my phone, my tablet, my flashlight, my battery bank, and more. I like that the USB-C port in my car can natively charge my laptop, at least when asleep/powered off, without needing an AC inverter to run a 19V brick.

There's no way you're going to convince me my life with dozens different sizes of barrel power adapters with different voltages/polarizations, micro + mini USB, and more proprietary power connectors were better. You're never going to convince me having the vendor lock-in of proprietary laptop docks was better than just a single cable to do it all. I can't wait to retire my last few barrel-type power devices.
I was scratching my head too. You have to read the "Governors" subsection. It's pretty nuts.
Have they? I suspect in reality it's more of a correction to the early 2020's hiring frenzy, which made a lot of people overestimate what sort of compensation they can command.
We are past it, it was months ago :) The points are basically right, but a lot of folks realize all this.
Sounds great, why do you think your opinion isn't shared by more people? On the surface everything you are saying makes sense, but its almost like there is some deeper reality that keeps it from being true.
a corporation doesn't do anything the same way a crowd in the street doesn't do anything. which is to say, watch out
The oil sands are a disaster and will be left for future generations to deal with. They have yet to clean up any of it but will point to one are they cleaned but in reality they did not clean it. They took all the sludge and moved it to another location then buried the area in a thin layer of new soil and planted some grass and said see we can clean it up. But in reality all the waste was just moved elsewhere for another generation to deal with. Furthermore they have countless abandoned wells that need cleanup and that will never happen. The second oil becomes uneconomical these companies will bankrupt and disappear for ever leaving the mess for future generations. Just a travesty.
Notarization has been a massive win for iOS and macOS.

If your app store distributes malware, it deserves to get banned.
The exclusive apps are other side of the coin, even. They show that making something that targets Mac is its own job if you're not using cross platform frameworks. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense that people don't want to target Mac, especially if they're not entrenched in or familiar with the Apple ecosystem.
I am scratching my head on how you are making $20k/month on this. Are that many people searching for “how to convert my text to uppercase”? and other variations. Can you explain where the majority of your traffic is coming from.
Also, there are some very interesting shiny blue rocks in that photo. I assume scrapped by the rotor. I would be very interested in a xenogeology article on this.
Depends on needs and familiarity. I used Bash and Curl, then PHP, then settled on Jmeter for a tricky bug due to a memory leak from a race under load. All three could reproduce the problem. Jmeter had quite a learning curve, and preparing data for it was a pain. Ultimately though it was more reliable, can do distributed testing, and has lots of nice built in features and analytics.
It is a matrix math accelerator. The 7000 series of CPUs had one that could perform 10TOPS with models quantized to INT8, and the 8000 series can do 16TOPS.

My point is the signature can be combined after the fact. Basically, I can give you a binary that is the signature for another binary that is the boot loader, built to certain specifications. You build that, and combine with this signature, and you are good to go. If the build doesn't build exactly the same, signature will be invalid and you can't use it.

Note that this is VERY limited in how much it could possibly help. But I don't see why it wouldn't be permissible by all licenses involved. It doesn't require the signing key, but a valid signature. For that device, it is locked down enough that the only installer that can work is the one that matches this signature. If installing somewhere else, you don't need the signature anymore, and can make your own or use an unsigned loader.
On age discrimination closer to home for US techbros...

Pretty early in one warm-fuzzy FAANG, around the time a friend of mine finished a big-name CS-ish advanced degree, and he was at an event where the FAANG was recruiting. It might've been a campus event.

At the event, he happened to overhear some of the 20-something recruiting representatives of the FAANG, making fun of a candidate they'd interviewed for being "old".

I didn't ask, but, based on the way he said it, he might've been the one they were making fun of. (Then again, he's always defending others, and might've just been very upset on someone else's behalf. Though, if he'd been defending someone else, he probably would've ripped those representatives a new one, at least three different ways.)

I think he was still in his 30s, despite two successful earlier careers (one as an old school tech-ish entrepreneur). He went to the gym and was fit, but he looked like what he was: a kid from humble upbringings, who'd seen some rough situations, including being gay when and where that was not OK, and had pulled himself up by his bootstraps, to success despite all that. And while also doing a lot of activism to help some of the most disadvantaged and persecuted, when it was unfashionable.

He showed some of that weathering, and -- I suspect this might've been a barrier with that group -- didn't look like an affluent Palo Alto recent-grad. So, "old". Or, if those airhead representatives had had HR training, they would've called it "culture fit".

Which is doubly ironic in his case, since, in principle, he was pretty much a poster-child for the warm-fuzzy FAANG's PR: socioeconomically-diverse, cross-disciplinary, whole-self, make-the-world-better, with LGBTQ+ sprinkles on top.

He seemed very disappointed in those representatives of the FAANG, and had some choice words about who that FAANG "was hiring now". And in the couple decades since, he never did go there, even though, on paper, it would've been the obvious choice at multiple points of his career accomplishments.

The best financial advisors are going to help you diversify your assets, and, more importantly, minimize taxes. They're not telling you to YOLO on crypto. There's only so much buying the S&P 500 can do for your returns with limited money. Best to advise someone rich on how to do it.
