That's gonna be interesting to see, one-size-fits-all laptop for Linux. Watching how disputes on THE TRUE AND THE ONLY EDITOR still ongoing, Vi/Vim/NeoVIM crowd vs EMACS adepts (VSCode users not to be considered as REAL GUYS of course, just frontend devs or even traitors of GNU), do you expect those crowds even can agree on should be there blobs/proprietary firmware, SecureBoot and TPM/Pluton used in such laptops? I seriously doubt.
> But unless proposed alternatives are superior in every regard, we cannot claim that Apple should have done so, or that they have secret motives.

This is what makes it a weasel word. Nothing is ever superior to something else in every regard. To use this as the standard is to assume that an ulterior motive is never possible, even when there is an unambiguous perverse incentive and the company's rationalization is weak and transparent.

> Your proposed alternative for third-party repairs is likely to require trade-offs that Apple is not willing to make.

Which is why it should be the customer and not Apple who chooses whether to make them that way, and the customer should not be forced to make such otherwise-independent choices together.

> Regulations only make it a cat-and-mouse game.

The premise of a cat-and-mouse game is that the cat is unwilling to eat the mouse.

If the law says that you have to allow competing stores and the company flaunts the law, the next law could say that the same company is not allowed to both make the device and exercise any control over any store, prohibiting the company from operating one themselves. Penalties don't have to be limited to money, they could require the release of internal documentation and source code to facilitate adversarial interoperability. They could simply break the company into a dozen smaller pieces.

Regulations are often terrible because they create inefficiencies which raise prices and, when applied to smaller entities, can destroy them and cause market consolidation. And regulators often pass rules without ever checking up on their actual effects. But "regulations are often wasteful and ineffective" absolutely does not mean that the regulators have no ability to mess up your business -- that is, in fact, the hardest thing to avoid because it happens so easily by accident. The last thing you want is to do anything to cause them to want to crawl inside you and lay eggs.

"Roar her, gem her?"
Literally no UK university student would call themselves a college student, regardless of the few UK universities that structure themselves into colleges. I, and everyone of my university friends stopped saying we were in college when we left college (at 18) and instead said we were in uni. Every uni grad I know talks about “when I was at university” and not “when I was in college”.

The article is talking about a student in the UK, it should use the correct terminology for that country and not the US specific one.

Like I said, I’m being pedantic.

Congrats on the launch!

You say Celery can use Redis or RabbitMQ as a backend, but I've also used it with Postgres as a broker successfully, although on a smaller scale (just a single DB node). It's undocumented, so definitely won't recommend anybody using this in production now, but seems to still work fine. [1]

How does Hatchet compare to this setup? Also, have you considered making a plugin backend for Celery, so that old systems can be ported more easily?

> Apprenticeship has been a successful training model for many hundreds of years.

Have you ever read historical books about what it was like? Because quite a lot of that system was pretty abusive and controlling. Power differecial did caused quite a lot of harm in the past.
I'm not entirely sure what this adds in this case, though. For example, in the code you've written, as far as I can tell there's no advantage compared to defining the function as a closure variable and using it directly, rather than defining it as an attribute on `this` and passing the `this` object around.

In addition, with the `handleEvent` approach, you need to handle all events within a single function. But it's fairly easy to create multiple functions within a single function scope and pass them to different event handlers, thus avoiding the need for the large (and potentially error-prone) switch statement if you end up needing to handle lots of events.

Have you found cases where `handleEvent` works better than just defining local variables within a function and just using those? It seems to me that you wouldn't even need arrow functions to take advantage of the natural power of closures in this context.
> a large part of what you’re saying is based on a huge misunderstanding of the industry’s dislike of the term “full stack developer”.

You say this and then you repeat what I said just with more words.

If you can call yourself a frontend developer despite there being developers who are better at the frontend than you, then a fullstack developer can call themselves that despite there being developers who are better than they are at frontend development.

A DBA is going to be stronger with data than a fullstack developer, yet this does not imply that a fullstack developer cannot model data.

I want to like the NetBSD project... but I see it as something for hobbies.

I can't see myself using it for serious production stuff.

Maybe it's not fair, maybe if I had spent as much time on it as I've spent on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD... I could be a little bit more confident about it.

For example, I'm not confident about security work. I know, the less mainstream, the less botnets targeting it... but I'm not worried about botnets mainly.

Even for a minimal system, as the title say, I'm more confident building it in one of the operative systems that I'm more familiar with.

Still, I think that (Free|Net|Open)BSD, are something every systems engineer, should use and learn, at least for one year, at least once in life (if it's more, much better). It's like learning programming language B, even if everyday you use programming language A... It's like traveling... It is enriching and opens your mind.

That is attacking a straw man. Discussion is about self control not things outside of ones control.

I am also not talking about becoming a millionaire.

I am talking about simple things like getting a decent job. If I sent 2 CVs out and gave up can I compare with someone who sent 100 CVs out and got the job? Can I say "he just got lucky"?
Most of the things on r/homelab and elsewhere are not wooden racks. Most are expensive server racks retrofitted to be vanity projects to serve videos to at most 2 people in a home. It's fine, it's just that people should be honest about what these are.
That behavior is completely stupid. I agree with Daniel on this, because if I choose to give my own CAs, there are two reasons: Either I don't have my CA in the OS bundle, or I want to validate specifically against a certain CA.

That means that this "feature" by Apple either adds more computation for nothing, or breaks the verification model that is expected.

Neither of these are an expected result.

Yeah, IMO the only reason not to switch at $6 is mistrust at the person conducting the experiment: they're tricking me to switch because they know I won.

If I knew it was double blind, I'd switch instantly.
This is great. Foreign-language practice definitely seems like a great use case for LLMs. I'm surprised it understood your “你 dei tie ..." example, since "tie" is also valid pinyin.

Shouldn't there be some discussion on hash collisions? Why could different trees not result in identical hashes?

Are they using cryptographic hash functions with a large enough number of output bits (>=128) that collision odds can be considered negligible?
Googled that head and I really don't get the point. Just get an L bracket and be done with it, surely.

Dma is mostly about choice for a couple of developers. Not for users. No way will Epic publish games on their own and Apples store, they did not do it with the Epic Store either. Consumers did not have a choice where to buy when Epic bought exclusive access.
Well... all corporations [0] are modelled after authoritarian states. The only model that seems to work is a single person with dictatorial power and a tree shaped hierarchy. Pretty much everyone does that, and the exceptions prove the rule. It isn't weird that they have authoritarian views of how their assets should be managed.

Hold in mind that everything involves trade offs. Authoritarianism is really good at monomaniacal focus on something that the dictator thinks is important, they just tend to fail at all the other stuff. And it is fine - indeed, remarkably effective - as long as people can leave when the focus isn't benefiting them.

Democracy sucks at pretty much everything except being flexible in the face of change and empowering voters. You do not want your food supply being run according to democratic principles, you want it to work.

I know nothing about the area, but it strikes me that it's all about the amount of resources you put into each weapon. In the same way that you can make more drones than planes for your $, you might be able to make more underwater drones than submarines for your $.

I was not aware you were the author. I apologize if anything in my delivery came across as harsh.

I would just suggest considering whether the "any (sample) average is a rough approximation of the (population) median" is a necessary claim in your exposition (particularly as it is stated).

Given this is supposed to be "beginner material", it would seem important not to say something that can mislead beginners and give them an incorrect intuition about "averages" (in my humble opinion). Note that adding the "but only for 'stable' distributions" caveat doesn't really solve things, since that term is not clearly defined and begginers would certainly not know what it means a priori.

I know this may came across as pedantic or nitpicky, but I would really like you to understand why such a general statement, technically, cannot possible be true (unless you really extend the meaning of "roughly"). When I read what is written, I see two claims, in fact (marked between curly braces):

> A statistic known as “average” is intentionally {designed to fall in the middle of the range}. {Roughly half of your measurements will be above average, and the other half below it}.

The first claim suggests that any average approximates the "midrange" (i.e., 0.5*(max(data)+min(data)), a point that minimizes the L_inf norm w.r.t. your data points). The second claim suggests that any average approximates the "median" (i.e., a point that minimizes the L_1 norm w.r.t. your data points).

The main problem here, as I see it, is that there is an infinite number of different possible means, densely convering the space between min(data) and max(data). Thus, unless you are ok claiming that both min(data) and max(data) are reasonable rough estimates of the median and the midrange, you should avoid such strong and general claim (in my humble opinion).

Note: you can choose a "generalized mean" that is arbitrarily close to min(data) or arbitrarily close to max(data); for example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_mean

Either way... I lied... I did read some of the rest, and some of it was interesting (particularly the part about the magic constant), but the lack of formal correctness in a few claims did put me off from reading through all of it.

Once again, have a nice day, and please don't be discouraged by the harshness of my comments.

What do you mean by “they’ve got the implementation wrong”?
Unfortunately, this kind of behavior, where the Apple policies always override whatever the "owner" of an Apple device wants to accomplish, is not surprising but it is what should always be expected from Apple.
It's (e). They're getting intelligence from NATO countries.

>I read it as an implicit critique of US politics being so dumb that a UK student can become an expert in a few short years.

We both read the same thing.

The thing is, a UK student can't become an expert in a few short years.

This particular one can, because he's a savant.

It's not a critique of the student, it's just devaluing his extraordinary achievement.

If you start with the assumption that the UK student has done something extraordinary, you can't conclude that the Hill staffers are dumb.

To reach that conclusion, you need to assume that Ringwiss didn't do anything beyond what a very motivated person with a strong interest in subject matter could do.

But that's far from being the case.
I'm a big fan of Connor Leahy, but his reaction feels a bit over-the-top, there. Noticing anomalies or inferring why an anomaly might be present doesn't imply self-awareness.

Minor correction: it falls back to Apples CA store if the initial check fails. So wouldn’t add more computation for nothing.

However I do agree that it’s not the expected result and thus bad behaviour.

Given how Apple generally favour backwards incompatible changes and that this feature is added into curl, this does feel like there is more to this story than Apple is letting on. Perhaps it’s used for developer diagnostic tools or AppStore validation?
I can't understand the cost basis for that fee that apple is imposing. If I install an thrid party app from a third party store to my phone, it wouldn't cost apple anything. Even the bandwidth cost to download is from the third party store. In this transaction, actually Apple will be the unrelated "third party"that has nothing to do with that transaction.
So isn't this fee just an extortion attempt?
You can’t do the ‘tilt’ part computationally (except by going all-in and computing a depth map), but simple perspective corrections do a good job of emulating ‘shift’. Shift is typically used for subjects at infinity (such as buildings) where small changes to the plane of focus are irrelevant.
there's nothing wrong with the browser doing work for the rendering, the issue is that _all_ of the work has been offloaded to the browser.

It used to be, a page that was primarily rendered on the server but used javascript for dynamicism in the frontend was still considered SSR. nowadays people try to relegate SSR to only rendering on the server, but that's never been the case and is a strawman.
> The clinic where I practice requires making a telephone number and email available to patients

I wonder if contacting your doctor directly is a US thing? Before this discussion I had never heard of such an option. I definitely don't have any way of directly contacting any medical staff, neither a nurse nor a doctor, it will have to be through an appointment.

This might finally explain why this "ask your doctor" is so often repeated online as a realistic option? You definitely won't ask your doctor about every minor thing if it's behind an appointment.
Agreed -- if they changed the experiment so it was verifiably trustworthy, I think most people who could do math would switch.

Basically, it would be a repeated game where the subject would be told by the experimenter.

1. I will put a black ball under exactly one of these two cups without you seeing it.

2. You will pick the first cup -- if you keep this cup and it's right, you get $5.

3. You will have an opportunity to change cups always, if you change cups and the changed cup is correct, you get $6.

I cannot see the above experiment failing to generate most people always choosing change if repeated 10 times, with the above structure being common knowledge ahead of time.

That's like saying "choose a cup with your left or right hand -- if you choose correctly with your left hand, you get $5, and if you choose correctly with your right hand, you get $6". Everyone would use their right hands.

While this is an interesting idea and I personally would welcome such regulation it probably wouldn't solve the problem the EU is trying to address.

Android allows the installation of alternative app stores but Google still retains large effective control over the app market.

I would argue that the EU recognised that and therefore regulated Operating systems and app stores because the former one isn't enough apparently.

If things continue along this trajectory we may see the utility argument at the store level and at the OS level.

Looking at how the electric power distribution industry is regulated it already works like this (at least here in Germany).

On the one hand grid operators are heavily regulated (as you say) and must allow companies without infrastructure to resell power to end customers.

On the other hand the actual owner of the last mile infrastructure is also forced to do business with all customers and has very little freedom to refuse(e.g. non-payment is a temporary valid reason).

We may very well see something similar in the software distribution market since it's becoming such an integral part of life.

None much, to be honest. I buy at Gadis and Eroski as the lesser evils (also Lidl for some processed stuff, but not for fresh products). But if I want good fruit, I go to a small fruit store, which is more expensive, but I find to have much better and more consistent quality fruit.

There's been a huge trend in the last 5 or so years for corporations to go to "influencers" like Brownlee because they're ignorant and uninformed to the depth the industry press are.

This has been going on for a decade with shitty kickstarters for bicycle accessories which had to be kickstarted because the designers couldn't sell the idea to any existing companies, get funding, secure distributorship, or all of the above, because the industry knew their idea was shit.

Nowadays it's fly-by-night e-bike importers who hire a firm to do some high-end looking branding and import some shitty e-bikes with some gimmick (for a while it was lightweight single-speed ebikes, for example), last just long enough to sell a bunch, ship out replacement parts at the drop of the hat to keep early adopters happy and then evaporate as the bikes really start to break down and the brand's reputation tanks.

Brownlee knows a lot about cell phones and cameras, but his knowledge in the automotive industry is shit and everything he puts out is tepid and "safe". He regurgitates the press packet, follows the standard "nice things to say but a few subjective criticisms/opinions to make it seem impartial", and that's a wrap.

Look down his list of videos: "the Bolt EUV is the best deal in EVs!" "The Kia EV9 is surprisingly good!" Whoa whoa Keith, don't get too controversial!
