I'll stop here because we're just wasting time running in circles.
Quebec's language laws are fascinating, the newest version "requires non-French signs to be accompanied by French descriptions that are twice the size." Since the goal is "to ensure French predominates the visual field of storefronts," you can have the logos be the same size as long as the tagline is in French.

It's probably worth considering a return to a fallback comms system. In the 1990s, telcos were the pinacle of reliability. Sure, AT&T had local issues from time to time, and that cascading failure incident [1] in 1990, but things were on a path towards even more reliability. Now, I expect a several hour, multistate outage of 911 about every other year. Nationwide single carrier cell phone outages aren't uncommon either.

I'm just going to assume a hostile first strike makes satellite comms difficult.

Yeah it's an exaggerated rant, including the idea that you can't uproot a tree on your property which is only somewhat true, but it's not much different than most developed countries including the U.S.

With little exception, there is a heck of a lot of construction in Canada. Canada has among the highest construction per capita in the world.
After seeing several decade-long, slow supply chain attacks, maybe knowing who is contributing might matter a little bit.
Intel used to dominate the U.S. chip industry, now struggling to stay relevant
For something in the same ballpark that I've found to be pretty ergonomic, there is Xarray: https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/index.html

What you do is name all the axes of an array, and then for all array computations, you address the axes by name. The great thing is that for the correctness of any of these operations, you never need to remember what numerical order the axes are in, since you just use the names. (For _performance_, the order can be important, in which case you can easily permute the axes to any order you want and then access the underlying NumPy/CuPy/whatever arrays if you need to.)
You need to watch your CAC Payback Period very very very closely. This is the thing that kills otherwise successful SaaS companies... they are profitable long-term but bankrupt short-term, and end up needing to scrape up funding with terrible terms to bridge that gap.

All customers will cost you something on the front end, even if it's just time. That time is money. How long does it take to earn enough profit to pay that back? Higher margin and lower operation cost --> faster payback period --> ability to onboard customers faster.

Stated differently: if 10M new customers walked through your door tomorrow, could you onboard and retain them immediately? Probably not. Determine your new customer flow rate and gear your sales + advertising activities to hit that rate. Then you can add more business capacity and continue to scale.

One more thought: as you scale, how can you lower your employee cost? People talk about remote hiring, and that's an option, but there's also another shortcut: mission. People will take less money for the same work if they're excited about the mission. Mission IS compensation. What makes a good mission? Maybe you're focused on minority-owned small businesses. Maybe you're offering a chance for developers from non-traditional backgrounds to grow. Maybe you employ ex-cons. Maybe you're trying to launch a rocket to Mars. Whatever it is, find the GENUINE thing that makes your story super unique and use that to attract good employees for less cash.
Karl Marx said something along the lines of "Each man does a job according to his abilities." Something like that.

I take it, then, this modern society and civilization wants to specialize in low level technician style work and wait for aliens or angels to come and do the hard work of inventing faster than light travel? You know, intuition is the best scientists and engineers can do and all.
He should have run tor from a VPS node and then created a SSH socks tunnel to reach it. It's common to see SSH sessions and large packets flowing through it could easily be SFTP. Even if someone should suspect anything it's still plausible deniability.

I hope you can see that what you wrote can’t possibly be true.

Surface people, HP people, or Thinkpad people have all had to contact support at times as well. Is it more or is it less than Apple, is the question (and isn’t answered)
> My reaction when I first heard of the concept of a "wiki" where everyone is allowed to edit some post (curiously before I heard about Wikipedia): I thought such a system would immediately be ruined

There are people who think that today, despite well-known existence proofs we have to the contrary.
Another problem which will not be considered a problem big enough for who is causing it but then which will bite us all in the butt in 25-50-100 years and then it is going to become everyone's fault.

I'll nickname them as "Anthropogenic Meterorites" (unless they already have a name.)

I will also be the one starting the debate that I don't believe they are actually man-made, meteorites have been falling forever and there is no scientific consensus it's our fault.
I don't know if its still true today, but last time I setup a macOS machine (2020), it didn't require, but pushed, an Apple ID. My Pixel phone I setup this February also didn't require, but pushed, a Google account. I think iOS did require an AppleID, though.
Did you really think that OP meant that literally almost every single store in the U.S. has Chinese names written on their storefront?
> ... a class action lawsuit

After filling out an online form you receive in a year or so, then waiting another three, you'll get a check in the mail for $2. Justice! Hooray!

The only people class action lawsuits benefit are the lawyers.
By what metric? They're worth consideration and getting better: https://blog.cloudflare.com/r2-events-gcs-migration-infreque...
As shitified as the world wide web has gotten over the last few years, that's almost a feature these days.

Now you have lots of chaff / ablative / imposter emails to divert away all the robo-mailers, spear fishers, destitute princes, and the like. Even the tiniest little mistake and the email goes to one of a million diversion accounts.

Side Not-a-joke: On this topic, I also really hate two-factor authentication you don't sign up for, don't want, yet are forced to add to your account, because Google Play is too much of SCIF to just let you log in. Even more security theater for the most basic activities. Now I need two-factor every time I try to use GitHub. Ugg.
San Jose has this same problem with abandoned vehicles. They will only do something if they can be classified as "blight". In practice that means the vehicle has to be so extensively damaged as to be inoperable. When I last looked into it, it was because they had grant money to clean up blight, but no budget for cleaning up abandoned vehicles otherwise. The towing and storage cost more than what they can usually recoup by fining the owner or by selling them for scrap.

This has resulted in things like my entire neighborhood being taken over by shady car dealerships using the streets for overflow that they can't fit on their lots. And so actual people end up finding other places to park, like on the sidewalk, or right in the middle of dead-end streets. I do see those getting ticketed occasionally, at least. Meanwhile the unregistered dealer inventory with no plates that are otherwise legally parked don't suffer any consequences.

Sure, if you only focus on that one piece of their comment, but who wants to be that pedantic?
The tech sector desperately needs due process. By regulation if not voluntarily.
On one of my sites, I needed to install a form with file upload capability.

Soo ... the file upload is happening via JSON webhook? Seems like this was defined as the scope and then file upload was just never mentioned again.
Is it really a tautology though?
> They'll be scaled such that the point not on a plane will evaluate to 1 when plugged into the equation.

Evaluating a plane equation with a point will give a signed distance from the point to the plane. However, unless the equation is normalized, the distance could be scaled in unusual ways that are less than useful. I think a better way to say this is that a point who's shortest straight line distance to the line is 1 will evaluate to 1, after taking the absolute value.

The LRBni ISA had a whole set of instructions designed to take advantage of signed distance fields defined in both plane equation & barycentric forms. (That's what the bit mask for the lanes was for, in part.)
I thought the better option would be a guild model like SAG?

I would frame this as using creatine as a welcome mitigation for existing burnout from long shifts.

Not enabling the same burnout for even longer shifts.

Burnout and just simple short term fatigue both also create patient risk.

We have drugs that would allow very long completely alert shifts, with few side effects for single use. But there is no way to do that regularly in a mentally (or physically) healthy sustainable way.

I can see those being used by a battlefield medic, or in a disaster zone, for one off critical situations.
> I've never bought an app

Without being signed into an AppleID you cannot install free apps either.
And if you install then sign out, you're also blocked from updating the free apps.
Can someone explain this "semantic layer" business (cube.dev)? Is it just a signal registry that helps you keep track of and query your ETL pipeline outputs?
nice overview of progress over time. are there quant metrics for the sim capabilities or is it mostly vibes?
I wonder why there is no review system between friends.

Friends' advice is a very good metric.

Add in some discovery mecanism to avoid loops, and you've got a cheap and trusted system.
The difference between those examples is that the author already had experience with that software package, and presumably already knew at least a little bit about what taking on maintainership of its packaging would entail.

A drive-by contributor who "wants to get into open source" will often have no experience with a particular project, and may not even have used the software before. People like that don't have the necessary context to start contributing, and their first (and sometimes only) PR is more likely to be counter-productive noise.
> I rarely see people there though

Unless you work at a library, you're only seeing who's there when you are - not very indicative of how often they're actually used, I would say.
If I understand correctly you are basically selling a cnc drawing machine for 150$. I dont know if there is a market for that especially in the demographic that you are targeting. Why would a teenager not just print their artwork at the local library for 20 cents?
Sure with your machine you can draw on all kind of materials thats good!
Every time I used IPv6 I found it solved more problems than it created. E.g. with v6 you can make sure a VPN addresses will not collide with the user's actual address. No more nats or port forwadings, etc.

The main problem is that v4 has not yet been retired and that means many times you have to support both.
> No one has opinions on my database design or architecture.

As a DBRE, I have many opinions about schema design. Unfortunately, they are often not well-received, because Some Grifting Blog told them their way was fine, and who am I to argue?
Down the rabbit hole:

This page obtained the image from a tweet (Or an x?) from the company, Astroscale, that instead had a link to a page [1] that explains:

How many innocent people are you okay with being executed as collateral damage?
I've met several. Anticipating what you might ask, what makes them 10x engineers? The ability to go off by themselves, get themselves into a type of trance because they are so focused and return a week or two later with thousands of lines of a fully formed formed program with near perfect working code. It's amazing to see.
Scraping doesn’t imply IP violation.
You can use your own domain with Google at least, and I’m guessing Microsoft as well. It could be a good middle ground where you control your email and just let google,etc use it for the time being. It looks just like gmail but you can always get out if you have to.
If that's the case, I guess my confusion comes from how one can assume this position and in the next breath complain about people acting entitled to others' work?
> The point is to have routes that few people use, so that places that are otherwise unprofitable to serve have access.

Can you name one city or town in the US that is dependent on Amtrak for basic transportation? For instance, is there a single town anywhere in this country that doesn’t have a highway or airport but does have a train station with Amtrak service?
It could work like this. You pay a monthly fee. When you are locked out, then the insurance will cover the legal expenses.
that level of sophisticated target likely doesn't rely upon nor hang its hat on lawful controls, either.
To your snark, I was meaning to convey that a standard kitchen scale wouldn't be accurate enough to measure 5mg, necessitating what is typically referred to as a precision or mg scale.

These corporations are actively hostile to users and it's insane that anyone trusts or interacts with them.

Recently when setting up GrapheneOS (android OS distro), my login to google play services was delayed by 24 hours for 'security concerns', after authenticating via youtube app. (Try to go OSS? Here's a 24 hour ban).

It's funny because the forced youtube app authentication itself is not a security measure, it's a dark pattern to force the youtube app to be installed and opened. Logging in by phone or email quietly doesn't work anymore, the SSO messages never reach their destination. I find it hard to believe that this is not representative of google's perverse incentives.

Consistently disgusting, rapacious company.
Looking at the other replies and productchart.com/monitors/large I see we now have 3840x1600 and 5120x2160 monitors now, but the VA monitors listed are too wide/short 5120x1440.
hm, sounds almost like macros wouldn't make it assembly anymore :)

I'm curious whether you know of any such inline asm wrapper? Seems that this gives the compiler less information than the intrinsics, which largely expand to builtins.
I just stopped caring about seeing constant updates from friends and went back to emailing or texting them when I have something specific to talk about. Those conversations usually result in finding out their recent life highlights anyway, but more personal and unmediated.
IMO most people here seem to be missing the point. The point is not directly about consumers or the choice between Android and iPhone. The point is about Apple (and Google's) market power.

Imagine a self driving car that became popular. Imagine that car manufacture asking stores to sign up for a account to register their store so the car will know where to drive users. Imagine the experience using the car is amazing and it's widely successful. Imagine car company then demanding 30% of all sales any store the store drives someone, refuse to pay the 30% and the car will stop showing the store as a destination. Their market is so large, if you refuse to pay you immediately lose 40-60% of your customers.

This is the power that Apple and Google have. It has nothing to do with choice in phones. It has to do with no app can escape this 30% tax on their business because the 2 gatekeepers control the entire market.

There are many similar issues but they all boil down to market power over hundreds of thousands of companies, not phone choice.
You just paid $1000 for something you don't own now.

Sounds like you have been scammed. Maybe just try to get your money back?
Building a starship reaching 1% of the speed of light seems quite reasonable without substantial technological advance (Dyson's 1968 H-bomb propelled Orion). What it would need would be lots of deuterium, but that's just a matter of large scale industry, which this putative civilization would have.

If you are saying this civilization does its work over very extended periods of time, you're saying they're comfortable with efforts that take centuries or millenia or even longer. That alone makes interstellar travel and colonization much easier; the energy needed scales as the inverse square of the travel time (assuming Isp optimized for the travel time chosen and assuming non-relativistic travel).

We (or they) do not need close to light speed travel for interstellar colonization.
I once tried to replace a screen on an iPhone, and accidentally knocked a barely visible capacitor next to the connector right off the board. When I say barely visible, I’m not exaggerating. I did try to solder it back onto the board under a microscope with my cheap reflow station, but it was absolutely futile. Which is to say, as difficult as this video looks, this is being done by a person who has done similar things many times, and you’re very unlikely to be successful at this the first time around. Tread carefully.
Rubber-ducking is useful, but nobody gives the rubber duck anywhere near as much credit as AI enthusiasts give to chatbots.
Ever hear the term "racing the beam"? That came out of game programming for the 2600. There is a book named after the technique that is pretty great and well worth a read.

Putting the Genius Bar into widely accessible Apple Stores is a business decision meant to provide useful support, not insultingly miserable.

That said, not everyone needing support has access to a Genius Bar, and not every Genius Bar employee knows every possible answer to every possible question.

But, to claim they chose to be insulting is just mistaken.
My understandingis is that legally you own the domain and the registrar is only managing it on your behalf and they are required to transfer it to another registrar if they terminate you as a customer. As recently happened for russian users on namecheap for example.
From my understanding, LibsOfTikTok just reposted 'fringe liberal' content without comment, no?

So I'm not sure how that's hate speech. Did they later resort to calling names or something?
This is only a mystery to those who can't speak catesse. They are playing 4D chess with you and winning.

Joke aside, this has to be linked to their superb spatial cognition and maybe their telemetry as they are natural ninjas.
Seems kind of clear to me we’re driving towards as little statefulness as possible, compressed symbolic logic, that’s able to compute as many states as possible. Less resource use on RAM and storage as available chip cycles continues to grow

Human biology is a min/max engine, evolved for years to “enough” food, shelter… and we see daily there is not static state to reality. Our social behavior to try and preserve state is some cognitive dissonant “War is Peace.” insanity

Math is a compressed form of communication. “Add two apples to the set of all apples” is literally more glyphs than the same statement in usual math syntax. Paper and written literacy was hard to come by back in the day, but verbal literacy was cheap and ubiquitous.

The economy is built on physical statistical measures. Such a framework to keep TP and food on shelves is the minimal state needed to keep people from rioting. Economy has nothing to do with historical story and political memes at this point.

We could look further into computing in other substrates, like mycelia. Biochemically shape structure to represent certain states.

Computing is a concept not coupled to contemporary ignorant business machines. We made a social monolith around computing by propping up big tech

From the news link, this is actually from November 1992.
Exactly. Which I have tried to explain (unsuccessfully, alas) too many times. We only answer calls from numbers we recognize.

This has caused some interesting issues, though. My wife answered one of the unknown-callers on her cellphone anyway, and it turned out to be from her doctor's office. Who couldn't (or wouldn't) explain why the clerk was using per personal cellphone to call patients, or how they got the number. We still maintain a land line, and only eight individuals have my cellular number, only five have hers. Yet somewhere a dataset was purchased, and both our cellular numbers have propagated throughout the Electronic Medical Records system, often as the only contact number.
I think you missed the point, and didn't actually read (or, more charitably, understand) what the author said. Your last sentence is actually a good summary of the article!

The problem is when someone wants to contribute primarily because they think it will be good for their resume, or even just for a more amorphous "I feel like I should give back" type reason. These sorts of motivations often result in contributions that end up being a drag on a maintainer's time, with little upside. People coming at it from this angle usually don't become dedicated contributors who grow and improve over time. They become a time and energy sink.

I've unfortunately witnessed this firsthand many times in my 20+ years of open source involvement.
I am a satisfied Apple user, and have been for over 30 years.

I have never contacted Apple support. Not once. Yes, really.

Unfounded claims are unfounded.

Sometimes devices break, sometimes they last for 20 years and keep on humming.

Also for the record, I'm also a Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD user running on HP, Dell, Lenovo, SuperMicro, Framework, System76 and DIY machines.

My experience indicates premium components usually (but not always) last longer than more economical alternatives.

That said, if I never had to use a Microsoft product again, I'd be fine with that.
Yep. Most of the stuff I make is this way. It is open source (usually MPL-2.0), but it’s also highly opinionated and designed for me, and my specific need. If someone wants to fork it for themselves, I am all for that.

The one and only time I built something that got a PR, the contributor wanted to make breaking changes that suited them. I had to politely decline, and explain the above.
