>I believe that the 3D Touch tech that was once in the iPhone is the same tech that is in the track pad and the Apple Watch

3D touch was only in the iphones for a few years, it was too expensive so they cut it in favor of the haptic touch they have now. The macbook trackpad is nice but honestly I prefer the old 2012 one they had with the actual physical button you could tweak the pressure of with a screwdriver. It seems a lot more ergonomic to have some actual give in the device instead of just jamming your finger onto an unmoving slab of glass. You don't even realize how hard it is you are pressing onto these things until you try testing your muscle memory with the computer off; its sort of alarming.
I had a 2019 MBP, and it worked fine with my LG 5K ultrawide at full resolution (5120x2160).

I would check your HDMI cable (not all hdmi cables support the resolutions you want), but mine worked perfectly fine using a USB-C thunderbolt 3 cable, as well as an USB-C to DisplayPort cable.
> Consoles had physical games. VR headsets don't. Consoles treat digital games the same way Meta is doing them here, I think; if you get logged out, no more games.

Again, consoles and steam do this because they want to, because it benefits them, and consumers don't put any meaningful pressure on them for doing so. It's not some kind of fundamental requirement. It's helpful for e.g. anti piracy stuff, but not necessary. It is 100% feasible to sell me a digital copy of a game and then not hang around on my system and watch me play it.

People let triple A PC games basically put rootkits on their systems. It's not like the games wouldn't work just fine (or better even!) without them. It's just that approximately nobody cares, and the companies will do whatatever you let them do.

"Limited" is too limited of a word: as very best I can tell from the several times I've tried it they seem to do everything in their power to cherry-pick the most spammy ad-ridden garbage one could possibly want to see from the Play Store. So, OT1H, sure, I get it, ad-tech company wants the biggest ad-vector they can get; OTOH, it still has to be something folks want to play and so their gamble did not pay off when I instaclosed their spam-store offering and saw zero ads
This is a good (what more, interactive) book by authorities on the subject of cognitive biases and processes. Thanks for sharing.
What are you even responding to? The claim is A => B, A is true, therefore B. Much Poorer => Conquered. Incans were poor, therefore Incans conquered. I dispute A, Incans were poor. By almost any observable metric such as quality of life, size of empire, scale of construction, population and thus food production, intricacy of ornaments it is unclear that the Incans were much poorer than the Spanish. In fact, by many of those metrics the Incans were comparable or even wealthier than the Spanish.

If you do not think that the Incans were materially poorer than the Spanish, the we already agree. If you disagree and actually want to respond to the arguments presented, please present a argument supported by evidence that does not use circular reasoning to demonstrate that the Incans were much poorer than the Spanish.

As an example of circular reasoning: "The Spanish had more advanced weapons demonstrating they invested more economic surplus into weapon technology which proves they had more societal economic surplus." Not to say that superior weapon technology could not be a reason for the successful Spanish conquest, but it is not evidence of a significant "wealth gap" unless you subscribe to the ludicrous notion that all technology gaps are by definition wealth gaps. Even if we did assume that ridiculous notion is true, we have no way of comparing the tech trees of two civilizations to compare their "tech wealth" so it still just ends up being circular reasoning.
I've been loving this app, It's replaced all other markdown apps for me including obsidian and ia Writer!
Your comment is entirely political, and that's not an interesting discussion.

And that someone can have a job and qualify for government assistance is pretty bad, and worthy of detailed dissection, but it's got nothing to do with immigations, as much as you'd like it to.
> Companies should focus on making quality products without tying everything to ROI.

Unfortunately the companies prone to do that are the ones that go out of business. When you get the huge resources like the tech giants you have that luxury, but as a startup you don't.
Good idea, but I don't want to rely on an internet connection for this. I'd also just prefer to own the data.

It seems like the biggest reason is "KDE and GNOME need systemd, so we need systemd".

In other words, systemd is winning because systemd is winning. Not because it's better.
You might have been right the first time. Using AI to produce a work of art that attacks the fetish of wealth for romanticizing poverty? That seems like it could make for a pretty sizable pomme d'or - I look forward to the premiere!
Which is the problem: It is using natural language processing techniques that were state of the art in 2009, but have been completely eclipsed in the past couple of years. The "rigor" tends to be at odds with the fluidity of user input: typos, search query-ese, ambiguity, etc.

The challenging problem that Wolfram|Alpha tries to solve is conversion of natural language queries to structured ones. Although I doubt Wolfram's parser has been completely static for a decade, the most recent generation of language models are vastly better at translating natural language queries to structured ones.

I think I'll have to watch one of these people who love the Mac touchpad work. We are clearly not working the same way. Even with max speed and acceleration my MacBook air m2 touchpad feel anemic, and cumbersome for selecting text.

Fwiw I also have an apple mouse, and the touch based scroll feels unpredictable, and the mouse a bit slow too.
That’s why I have my lawyer cross out bullshit in contracts I sign, and if it’s not removable, at least explain, in layman terms, the ramifications to me. My first early startup job offer (from the people I “trusted”) had so many land mines in it that it took 2 weeks of back and forth and a board decision to get it to the point where fucking me over closer to the acquisition (which did eventually occur) wasn’t lucrative. And there were multiple such clauses in the initial version. Eg work for us for a few years and then we’ll get you into a situation where you will inevitably fuck up and strip you of vested equity by firing you “for cause”, just to give one example

As to these folks - I pass no judgement here, could be they just didn’t read the fine print or this was the best possible outcome. Hire a good lawyer next time.
Are there any screenshots of the user interface, or is it solely a language (despite the manual describing selections and mouse interaction)?
I meant the Eric Lippert one :)

It talks about that spec does not say where structs go. And yet, all existing implementations today have more or less identical behavior (and by all I mean .NET (CoreCLR), Mono (the dotnet/runtime flavour), Mono (the Unity flavour) and .NET Framework.

With that said, only respect to the article's content and, of course, Eric Lippert. For the context of the discussion, however, it may be misleading. C# has gained quite a few low level primitives since it has been written too.
Looks like some kind of bug on repos w/ many branches. Loading https://github.com/datastax/cassandra/, I search for `vsearch` and it presents me with CNDB-8708-vsearch and DSP-23946-vsearch, but not vsearch itself.

This basically makes their mice unusable for certain things like gaming. I had to use their mouse for a while and I opted to bind right click to a keyboard button because what do you know, most games bind aim and shoot to right and left click.
That button makes me consider whether my sway setup is worth it, as sometimes I think Gnome can achieve something similar. And even with less cognitive load, sometimes!
Can you assign virtual desktops to different screens?
I wish Dexcom could sync directly with a watch. I've been waiting on that for years but I guess it would drain the watch battery.
honestly, Fusion is about the only thing worth listening to, and even then, it's mostly wank too

suggestions: Tony Williams Lifetime, Miles Davis 1969 - 1975, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Jaco, Weather Report

Davis's music is pretty much about as pure rhythm as you can get outside of electronic music. it's so far beyond jazz that you can hear so many modern genres in something like On The Corner, it's crazy. and it was hated originally, too. jazz rejected evolution, so now it's stuck as some dead academic genre
Well, Twitter was down for me at least. Google, on the other hand, was not unlike what DownDetector claimed.
No, that's both versions of the Magic Mouse. I have the most current version (in my hand right now), and if you want to right-click, you definitely need to lift your finger from the left side.
The trick to that is similar to the Intel/Apple split: just having the OS doesn't help if the apps are for a different architecture. (I'm aware of qemu/Rosetta/etc but that's not something that Android has ever tried to solve (AFAIK) - rather, they declare any native library packages at the .apk level and one is expected to pick the right installer for the right architecture)
I can recommend Linear. Very nice UX.

I think the higher level project stuff is a little bit lacking, especially on the reporting side, but it’s definitely a leaner option than the incumbents.
It's literally an invite code like discord has. Weird naming.
I might be misunderstanding your point, but there's use cases that have repeatedly come up for me in multiple businesses, below being some examples, without getting too specific:

- identify latent features of customers via their behavioral data, to be used for profiling customers or recommending products to them

- within a large amount of customer behavioral data, identify potentially fraudulent behavior

- identify causes of seasonality (e.g. temporal patterns) in the data in order to improve forecasting (sales, traffic, whatever)

In those cases part of the investigation is to initially take a hands-off (unsupervised) approach, so that we can compare our initial top-down hypotheses with actual patterns in the data.

In both of those cases there's considerable (and sometimes adversarial) noise in the data.
You don't necessarily need to see live jazz to have some great jazz experiences in Japan.

Type in "Jazz Kissa" on google maps when you're wandering around these towns and you'll find little bars with great hifi setups that exclusively play jazz music. The reviews are pretty good for figuring out if they're worth a stop or not.

I made an effort to stop by a few on my last trip and had some great experiences.

The people who use software have absolutely no idea or opinion on the topic.

I asked 'the people who use software' and they don't like excessive memory usage or stuttering from bulk collection.

Also libraries written in a garbage collected language are only going to be usable in the same language.

Lots of people only think about the language they want to program in, then rationalize it being fine. That's how we got stuff like electron. When people think about what someone actually wants to receive that stuff goes away.
If you have a prioritised backlog and you’re working in priority order then there’s not much value in sprints — is there? Sprints provide value when you can’t just churn through tickets one after the other in priority order. Sprint planning is time consuming because sprints are useful when you need to plan.

You could use Linear’s cycles and milestones but you probably don’t need any of that structure if you’re just working ticket by ticket.

> They tend to be high quality and better vetted/tested

I thought anyone could publish rust packages, just like for PyPi? Are the packages audited before they are published in Rust?

> “too many” dependencies seems rather arbitrary

I would say that you have "too many" dependencies when you don't have control over them, e.g. because you can't afford auditing them or maintaining them. I have seen multiple Rust projects that I would rather rewrite myself than audit their tens (hundreds) of dependencies. That's "too many".

I didn't say it is.
CP/M was the first serious OS I used. By serious I mean one with the full set of office tools (Supercalc, WordStar, dBase) and languages like BCPL, Pascal, C (BDS). I think this had a significant effect on my views on what can be achieved in a small system with scarce resources.
Mistake - I meant high 7 figures, too late to edit.

you have to love that the GP says "browsers like Chrome don't allow" and the two responses under it are "Safari does" and "mobile Firefox does" -- literally the only other browsers in the mobile ecosystem

maybe this limitation isn't "browsers like Chrome". Maybe it's JUST CHROME with the limitation, because Chrome sucks, and has for awhile now.

It's almost like the developer of Chrome doesn't want you to use a different search engine. Funny, that
I mostly agree but the $100k is only launch cost, it doesn't include the engineering and manufacturing of the satellite or the ongoing operational costs.

> In the case of a trackpad, gestures such as pinch to zoom are arguably an essential (for me at least), as well as stepless scrolling, configurable pointer acceleration configuration, and a reasonable size.

I'm typing this on my work windows laptop, which can tick all these boxes!

But the experience is still terrible. While the acceleration and such are fine enough for my use, I still get the feeling there's some lag between my finger movement and the pointer on the screen. There are things which I loved on my 11 yo mac which still don't exist on windows, like "drag hold" which only holds for a little while. On windows, it either doesn't hold at all, or holds forever. But this is purely a software issue.

Funnily enough, Linux with X11 on this very same laptop runs circles around windows, and has none of these issues.

I've never had any issue with palm detection on either OS, but I'm not sure if it's because it works well, or because of the size and position of the touchpad.

However, despite the poor performance on Windows, I still find it usable for random "office" use, and never felt the need to cart around a mouse when I'm not at my desk.
I think so, yes! Even more so because it works with CPU and other things too.
How to Deal with Negative Behavior
Will it work with a large Ruby on Rails codebase?
I thought 3D Touch was cut because no one seemed to know the functionality existed, it had a discoverability issue. It was kinda tacked onto iOS unlike WatchOS where it was part of how the entire OS was designed.

Which I always found unfortunate, it had some really nice uses like not needing to wait when holding down for the OS to register and being able to pull up a context menu, slide up, and release to select the menu item all in one motion. I was sad when it was removed, but I also get it.

I get the idea of a physical trackpad, and I do remember when that was the thing. I honestly don't even notice that the trackpad is not physically moving. It simulates the feel enough that if I didn't know it was not moving I would think it was. You are right it is shocking when you try to use it while it's off and it's like... oh right. But I just am not in that situation often. (However when Mac freezes and it "clicks" multiple times since it did not properly register ealrier, that's honestly kinda wild... but infrequent).

But I also like not needing to think, I need to press on a specific part of the trackpad for it to properly register. I vividly remember only the bottom half really registering and the higher you went the shallower the press was.
Training workloads are highly variable and mostly consistent across the cluster (all systems ramp up and down at the same time).
Leadership Is a Skill
You may have replied to the wrong comment because I think we're here talking about how this dude can't figure out how to find a picture of a white family on the internet.
Maybe I'm about to display my ignorance, but until 1990 wasn't Poland under the USSR's umbrella? And the US was all but occupying Germany until ... it is almost possible to make that claim up to today. There are 50k US troops in Germany and 60k in the German army. That and the Southwestern Europeans being broken like twigs after WWII.

I don't think it is the EU that is keeping the peace; I reakoon it is the Haber process + the US more than anything else. Although if it was it is failing IMO, there is a land war in Europe right now that is at risk of fighting WWIII. And everyone is arming up again because of it.

> It sucked then and it sucks now.

Yes and no. It did suck in many ways, the ones you describe plus many others, including lack of anonymity and little privacy as everybody in the village knows everything about you, your family, your neighbors. Worse access to doctors (even worse in the mountains in the winter). Occasional crazy person could wreak havoc. The list could go on.

However, you had space. Your own space, a lot of it. Internal and external. No walls everywhere - fields and meadows instead. And, depending on your situation, you might have quite a lot of time (and at times very little).

For me the ideal is in between these two worlds.
Any business that doesn't make an effort to hire more women than is strictly economically efficient is begging to get sued. "We have very few women because men are cheaper" won't get them out of trouble. The mere fact that women are underrepresented in that company will be taken as proof of illegal discrimination.
It’s not an opinion anymore, it’s fact. A huge percentage of trains are late in Germany because of crumbling infrastructure here.
Confluent's Official JavaScript Client
(Disclaimer, I am a Confluent employee)
Some may have seen, but Confluent has recently released its new JavaScript/Node.js client confluent-kafka-javascript. This release is a public EA so it only has basic features and is meant as a vehicle for feedback and discussion. It is available on Github and npm.
This project is actually based on node-rdkafka, but we provide some API compatibility for the very popular KafkaJS library as well. Practically, node-rdkafka users should be able to use their original code after importing the new library, and KafkaJS users have some small changes that are outlined in our migration guide.
Also notable that Rego (the language in Open Policy Agent) [1] is a Datalog (or heavily inspired by)

It's used in various policy evaluators (unsurprisingly) around access management, but also for gatekeeper [2] which allows security teams to define constraints around kubernetes resources, similarly conftest [3] can do the same for terraform

For a lot of simple cases it's a fair bit more complicated (and unfamiliar) than tailored query languages, but really shines for matching over a complex graph of interlinking resources and then evaluating Boolean logic against the matches.

Actually, it should have ended even earlier, after Russian aggression on Georgia in 2008.
It's true, our society is well on it's way to mastering sitting on it's hands when problems present themselves because there's always someone who's figured out how to make money off the issue and rolling up a blob of useful idiots to astroturf on their behalf has become so efficient it borders on overt weaponization of human stupidity.
I use one of the 51nb motherboard upgrades for ThinkPad X201 for this reason. Mine’s an Intel 10th gen which is a few years old but still fine for everything I’ve ever tried to do with it.
