I do that exact same thing but the filter is just verbosity level. I end up using my printf-wrapper-with-verbosity-filter for essentially all output, and it serves as a global verbosity knob that goes down as well as up. Default verbose level is 1, and setting to 0 makes the app silent.

Small problem though is a lot of times a nice informative message is constructed of stuff that takes work to do, and the work has to be done and then handed to my dbg(v,fmt,args...), only to be thrown away in the first line of dbg() if(verbose<v) So I have chunks of code behind if(verbose>3) and then dbg(3,...) inside there which just bugs me aesthetically :)

I don't want to think about trying to make something that somehow takes an argument for what work to do instead of a simple value the result of the work. Function pointer? It would be less ergonomic than just if(verbose>4)
Sounds a straight-forward as hoped. Ty!
supporting a country that fights indiscriminate violence against its citizens is not malice.

supporting anti-western anti-civilisation pseudo progressive propaganda might be, though.
You claim to need a computer while rooting for what is essentially becoming a cloud terminal - odd. If you need a computer, get one. If you're happy with a cloud terminal then say so and continue using Windows.
But TikTok wants to pay; they just don't want to pay as much as UMG says they should. The principle is not in doubt.
> Capacity, cost per passenger, environmental impact, space efficiency.

Those things certainly have value. (Environmental impact most of all, that one is actually urgent to solve.) People's time and effort also has value. We have different values for the tradeoffs between them. I care about environmental impact; let's have EVs powered by clean power, and let's have them be repairable and upgradeable so that they don't regularly become obsolete waste. I do not care about capacity or space efficiency except insofar as they indirectly cause problems like congestion and sprawl, and both of those may be possible to address in other ways (e.g. eliminating parking, which is why I didn't claim that everyone owning their own EV and most of them sitting unused most of the time is an ideal solution); neither of those is as important as people's time and effort.

There are other possible utopias, and other potential ways to handle transit. But I'm always going to start from a premise of "how can we achieve the same or better on human time and effort", rather than telling people they have to accept transportation that takes longer and doesn't actually get them directly to where they're going.
Then the article is.. not newsworthy I guess. These things are meant to be: "I will still give them money and expect them to do better, no matter what they do".
Not quite true - the intel projects were at a pretty early stage when Elop took over, and the whole Microsoft thing happened - and the projects got canned as part of the cleanup and moving to Windows for the phones.

The CPUs were indeed horrible, and would've caused a lot of pain if the projects had actually continued. (source: I was working on the software side for the early Nokia intel prototypes)
Sure. But one can argue that capacitive touchscreens were about to happen anyway (like ARM laptops..). And HTC with their touchflow were moving into sausage friendly UIs.

But I agree, Apple is absolutely good at taking all this tech at the right time and making a compelling product. Steve insisted on glass/capacitive and that is just the best choice. Also, the UI didn’t feel like a layer (that you could easily get out off) as with touchflow. I’m also an iPhone user atm. Switched from Android about 3 years ago. The whole experience feels like higher quality to me still now. Although I have friends that would argue against that.
First time heard of Manitoba as a non American, turns out it’s in Canada!
I don't care if the code is closed or open, because I use computers to do things. Computers are tools to let me achieve things, thusly I care about the results and not about the process (eg: closed vs. open).

I don't care to computer either, because that's not what I consider computers to be at my point in life. I use tools, not tool tools.
Two questions:

1) Do I have to actively use Edge - or does this happen automatically in the background - even if I never open an Edge window?

2) Does any of the data gathered that way find it's way into Windows telemetry (anonymized or not)?

Since I'm neither "allowed" to uninstall Edge, nor "allowed" to fully disable telemetry...
Someone in here writes that there is a possibility that Edge sends its browser history (imported or not) to Microsoft servers...
One thing I found helps if I want the responses to be valid JSON, seems to work:

where result contains all of the <data expected> and the result is valid JSON. Do NOT under any circumstances deviate from this format! Ensure all of the value <data expected> are complete, do not leave ANY of them out. Do not add ANY other text to your answer except for the JSON result.

I found that just asking for valid JSON didn't always work out as expected (e.g. gpt-4 API would add formatting etc., so I became more and more of a micromanager!
But why do you need email if git is already built for decentralized communication? That's the core of the problem. Just add the ability to ask for pull requests, to comment, etc into git and nobody will build those insane protocol-on-top-of-a-protocol-to-communicate-with-a-side-protocol monstrosities.
What do they have to do exactly to get that permission?
Sounds like the classic Innovators Dilemma. There wasn't a lot of margin in the ARM chips so Intel doubled down on their high margin server and desktop chips. ARM took over the low end in portable devices and is now challenging in the datacenter.
Absolutely. This is how RDP works as well. It's one the few areas where I think the Windows ecosystem has a better approach.
The benefits of your first two points are even greater with electronic mechanisms of transferring money.

And a big downside of checks is that it reveals your bank account and routing # in an ACH system where money can be “pulled” anytime from your account. Compare to an electronic money transfer system where money is pushed from entity to entity using a unique identifier, but can’t be “pulled”.
Thanks to the magic of exploitative business models, you'll soon be able to run all of those via your Linux web browser for just $99.99 a month, and not long after that'll be the only option remaining.
At the point where laws are enacted the protect the user and their respective data, as well as punishment for breaking said laws is more than just a monetary fine. We can have the protective laws all day, but fines are basically just a license to break them, especially when we are talking about something as lucrative as user data.

When the regulatory bodies start to have more power than the corporations they regulate, we will see change. So, you know, probably never.

Yes, and most Pascal implementations (and the Pascal descendants) also have functioning module systems, unlike C. But worse is better.
Checks also let you do fairly complex multiparty commerce without needing to spend millions of dollars engineering it, like an apartment broker requiring you to give them a check for deposit/first month’s rent and signed lease prior to releasing the keys to you. Note that the check is to the landlord and the broker cannot access her accounts, but visual inspection of a check plus the previous underwriting lets this work without needing to loop landlord in again (in real time) to release keys.
Yes, my first thought is - doesn't this allow other sites to interoperate with Gitlab without asking Gitlab? Like Gitea can implement this and now we can do PRs back and forth? That's fantastic, exactly what the internet is for and the sort of thing we need more of.

edit - learned about https://forgefed.org/ from a sibling thread, great stuff.
Agreed, that doesn't match the docs

It's very clear why windows usage is dwindling year after year. Windows 7 was the last good windows version. 8 was trash and 10 introduced ads and other extreme anti-features. The search in windows has never been worse. I'm thinking MS just doesn't care about it anymore given they have azure.
Sorry but this is utterly pointless. One of the very first sentences I was given was grammatically incorrect ("My name Natalie."). The speaker's voice sounds terrible and robotic. The voice recognition is likewise terrible. The pauses are way too long. One of the worst language learning websites I've ever seen. You'd be much better off just talking to ChatGPT via conversation mode in the app.
Interesting, I heard a story once that you can catch bats with keys: Put a bunch of keys in a sock and throw that in the air. If there is a bat near enough it might dive for and grab the object, then it gets drawn to the ground because the keys are too heavy. There you can catch it if you are quick.

Might be an urban myth, though it seems like it might just work.
Or we just preload jQuery onto phones and go back to the CDN days :P
> Amazon Web Services (AWS) was using its custom Graviton chips in 15% of all server deployments in 2021

I'm guessing this has increased since 2021. I've moved the majority of our AWS workloads to ARM because the price savings (it mostly 'just works'). If companies are starting to tighten their belts, this could accelerate even more ARM adoption.
You've got to admit, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Eastern countries with more direct government intervention, strong-arm leaders like Modi, Winnie the poo vs waning Western powers.

China didn't bail out its property gamblers, the West bailed out its banking gamblers. The West excels at high-level corruption. It's not bribing an official down a back alley, it's done Manhattan high rises and Mayfair team rooms.

Both are indefensible but as bad as each other.
I would prefer `git request-pull etc` to actually make a pull request that anyone could see inside their editor, on GitHub, in their mailbox or wherever else they want.
It's not an interesting argument by itself, it's in conjunction:

1. The shareholders weren't aware of the lack of independence of those negotiating the deal with Musk, making the shareholder vote irrelevant
2. Because those negotiating the deal (and the board) weren't independent, it also follows that it cannot be assumed that the deal was fair
3. Because those negotiating the deal actively collaborated with Musk over setting the terms it opens a large possibility that the terms would be favourable to him
4. The deal was reasonably outlandish (compared to to other deals for CEOs), so it's hard to make the argument that a properly negotiated deal would have come anywhere close to the same level of compensation - this was hardened by the context that Musk already had significant incentive to perform.

It's impossible to know for certain that Musk would have performed if he hadn't been given 6%, but on the balance of probabilities it seems reasonable to expect that he would have performed if he'd only been given say 1%, or perhaps even nothing. The Judge has decided that a properly negotiated deal would have offered Musk less.

And of course Musk only ends up in this position of having the deal questioned because he put himself in a position where he exerts control over the board, the compensation committee _and_ didn't fully disclose these relationships to the shareholders.

> I ditched emacs close to 20 years ago (for jEdit, later Sublime and finally IntelliJ) and have never regretted it in the slightest.

In that time I've carried on using Emacs, and have regretted it several times ;)

However, Emacs has come on a lot. It's much easier to configure than it used to be, and LSP has brought its semantic features back into the range of other editors. Its text processing abilities have always been stellar and far outshone anything else I've tried.

I'm very happy I stuck with it. I've kept many years of muscle memory and tricks and avoided having to reconfigure 3 different editors. Plus there are killer features like magit and org-mode.
> Do US credit unions generally roll their own software? Or use one of a few vendors that white-label it?

I'm not sure actually. This one is a total piece of crap in terms of UX. It feels like it could easily be the subject of a TDWTF article.

For example, if you delete any messages from the "secure messaging system", it will pop up a modal dialog after they've been deleted, solely to state that the messages have been successfully deleted. These modal dialogs appear everywhere, for basically every possible reason. It is as if toasts or even notification bubbles have been intentionally avoided, in favor of these constant incessant dialogs. You can't even dismiss any of them with Esc.

Even the loading spinners are modal dialogs whenever you switch pages. And either nothing is cached, or the only way to refresh the cache is to reload the entire dashboard.

There is a fake loading screen every time you load the dashboard, just to show you ads. There's no corresponding backend request that it's waiting for the completion of, it's just a timed wait.

And they constantly run email advertising campaigns about scams and phishing that I can't unsubscribe from. (Thank Firefox Relay for letting me block these)

> Most Ontario Canada credit unions (and maybe others) just badge an internal provider's UI for their websites and online banking.

I haven't used more than a couple banks. AmEx Serve didn't have even a remotely similar UI, but I'm not sure if that's even a credit union. I might switch back to them once I have a job, since their fees are not bad, they were just nonzero which I couldn't afford back then.

> I've had worse experiences with a big bank (and Canadian banks are massive) that once forced me to update their app. Then when I went to something I used to always do, schedule a future bill payment, it just said "coming soon". Ughhhhhhh.

I usually just prefer automatic billing, but I haven't yet had to deal with rent or utilities, so that opinion may someday change. Just curious, is that an option for you, or perhaps is there a reason why you don't use it?
iPhone used capacitive touchscreen whereas the competitors used resistive touchscreens in their smartphones, which instantly added more usability to iPhone compared to Nokia N95/97 that was already a fully featured pocket computer in mobile case and likely much more powerful than the original iPhone. Apple did the dirty logistics trick on other smartphone manufacturers by buying all production of capacitive touchscreen factories and similar key components 3 years ahead, leaving other phone manufacturers unable to respond.
As someone looking to learn European Portuguese this is a constant pain with most language apps.
The broker and landlord have no idea if the money exists just because they get a paper check. Seems like a far worse guarantee than simply transferring the money electronically and the landlord having instant assurance they received it.

You might be interested in Compose Multiplatform, it's from JetBrains and is a combination of Jetpack Compose and Kotlin Multiplatform. You can transparently use both platform views and CM views together in a way that I haven't seen in Flutter.

Here is a video about this where the JetBrains employees go over a demo of building a cross platform app in 100% Kotlin, just as would be the case with Flutter [0]. Check out the timestamp 41:37 where they talk about the above interoperability. They have an example of a messenger app where the messages are in CM while the text input box is in Swift, so that this ensures that you are not reimplementing the native text editing controls as Flutter does, so I see that as a clear advantage for specific things like that.

Also see timestamp 51:23 where they talk about graceful decomposition where if you decide to remove CM, you are left with a regular Android app as CM is backwards compatible with Jetpack Compose.

I use Flutter quite a bit but it seems like Compose Multiplatform might be the future, since it has a number of clear advantages due to how the architecture of CM is set up.

Lawyers and doctors are nowhere near perfect, so that's a completely unreasonable standard. Medical mistakes kill 250K per year in the US (close to 10% of all deaths) so that shows you how effective these regulations are.
My feeling is that Apple went entirely the wrong way here. They made an expensive device that doesn't meaningfully move the needle on AR/VR or AR/VR UX. As a result, they've narrowed the market so much that they can't convince app developers (who they've spent the last few years alienating) to develop for it, and are cannibalizing future sales (to Nilay Patel's point) by convincing people that a lot of these technologies (vision tracking, passthrough) are cul-de-sacs.

If they'd made something like "Vision Air" that was essentially Meta's Ray-Ban Smart Glasses plus AR for $999 they'd sell millions, they'd have a market for app developers, they'd convince people there was a point to having them. That's an actual interesting product and it's closer to where they want to be anyway.

This feels broadly like a staff retention project, or some kind of market positioning strategy or supply chain capture strategy or something. I just can't believe this product was the point of all the time, effort, and money Apple spent on it.
Is there a prediction market for "the Vision Pro is going to flop"?
They've seen all that. You don't have to have an MBA or a MIT degree to plot projected performance of your or your competitors' chips.

It was process failures. Their fabs couldn't fab the designs. Tiger lake was what? 4 years late?
It’s a good question. There aren’t many circumstances that this would happen, however when it does there are still no fees on the account (at least the ‘Cash Account’ at the bank I worked at) - it would go into a negative balance, not incur any fees and when the next credits came in, they’d get eaten by the negative balance.

This usually meant the customer would need to call up a service centre, who would arrange a ‘planned overdraft’ of sorts, still with zero fees, but it would allow them access to a portion of their funds and we’d do the same again the following week and so on.

Very inconvenient for all involved, these people are often completely financially illiterate (and frequently just illiterate) and have zero clue how to manage their bank account. I tried to educate them consistently, but week in week out I had the same conversations with the same people when they didn’t understand how they had no funds available to them, even though they’d been ‘paid’ that day.

There are a few areas where they are under pressure:

- The wintel monopoly is losing its relevance now that ARM chips are creeping into the windows laptop market and now that Apple has proven that ARM is fantastic for low power & high performance solutions. Nobody cares about x86 that much any more. It's lost its shine as the "fastest" thing available.

- AI & GPU market is where the action is and Intel is a no-show for that so far. It's not about adding AI/GPU features to cheap laptop chips but about high end workstations and dedicated solutions for large scale compute. Intel's GPUs lack credibility for this so far. Apple's laptops seem popular with AI researchers lately and the goto high performance solutions seem to be provided by NVidia.

- Apple has been leading the way with ARM based, high performance integrated chips powering phones, laptops, and recently AR/VR. Neither AMD nor Intel have a good answer to that so far. Though AMD at least has a foothold in the door with e.g. Xbox and the Steam Deck depending on their integrated chips and them still having credible solutions for gaming. Nvidia also has lots of credibility in this space.

- Cloud computing is increasingly shifting to cheap ARM powered hardware. Mostly the transition is pretty seamless. Cost and energy usage are the main drivers here.
Since roughly the first year of covid the supply generally has been quite bad. Yes, I can get _some_ xeon or epyc from HPE quickly, but if I care about specific specs it's also a several month long wait. For midsized servers (up to about 100 total threads) AMD still doesn't really have competition if you look at price, performance and power - I'm currently waiting for such a machine, the intel option would've been 30% more expensive at worse specs.
"At first it is helpful to be able simply to look at what you want and have it occur without further action; soon, though, it becomes like the Midas Touch. Everywhere you look, another command is activated; you cannot look anywhere without issuing a command."

Yeah, Apple Vision doesn't have this problem, because eye tracking is used just for pointing; not for clicking on items.

Fractional scaling on KDE + Wayland is working pretty well for me. I came from Windows, then macOS, I have been very happy with KDE.

Adobe is an issue, there are many analogs though. In place of Photoshop you could use Photopea, Krita, GIMP. That said I understand that people generally love their Adobe apps.
