They are quite delicious. Home made, eaten hot, with butter in our home. It's a Jewish Passover tradition that I find to be odd, because it is supposed to be part of an ascetic ritual in which we forego "leavened" bread and so instead eat matzo and popovers. But instead of being any kind of sacrifice it is a great treat, especially in a household that doesn't otherwise serve fresh baked bread.

It's like telling a kid they've been naughty so they can't have the old cookies, they have to eat fresh baked cookies instead.
When Americans travel, they bring their tipping culture with them. I blame, for the increasing tipping culture perceived personally and anecdotally, the americans
There was a Bloomberg article[0] which clickbaity hope-lied about it even. They changed the title ; it said ‘turns’ before, not should; I still have a screenshot from what it really said.

The numbers on the vinyl album renaissance are probably a good illustration. They're undergoing nonlinear growth, and have either surpassed CD sales or are neck-and-neck, e.g.: https://www.statista.com/chart/26583/music-album-sales-in-th... Though it's also interesting that actual CD sales have levelled off too, after dropping for years.
July 1st can’t come soon enough.
I reread this every so often to remind myself as a software engineer that yes, we're all crazy, we're all driving ourselves a bit more crazy all the time, so give myself (and my coworkers) some grace.

I'm sure you're right, but I don't think the quality of the device matters, I think it's the intent. An iPad is a generalist device, it's a portal to the world. A guitar is an instrument, it makes music and little else.

As someone proficient with both guitar and digital music production, I find that I make better music with physical instruments. I spend most of my time making digital music watching YouTube videos about production tricks... I'm sure some people have more willpower than I who can focus their energy productively, but I don't think that's most people's natural state.

I guess what I'm saying is that in retrospect, if I could give a guitar or an iPad to my 12 year old self, I'd choose the guitar again, no contest.
Is that true? Or do Americans really like having servants?
It also helps that we now just have spam covering content and slowing our computer down inside the window. Hell, many publications will even get you to pay for the privilege.
> zero reason to believe that Apple meant that.

I think I acknowledged that. But if the ad gives an certain impression, that's what it does, whether deliberately or not. Often life isn't fair.
> It was a bit of a throwback to the early 2010s smartphone innovation

It was also a throwback to the original iPhone announcement bringing all these separate functions into one.
Without expertise I would just casually guess that a hydraulic press this size does not exist, or if it did, it would not be used for that. So at least that part is CG.
so instead of properly escaping their sql queries they chose to remove the offending character from the street signs??
Any chance this could become the kernel for Darwin?
Nailed it. I think it's also concerning that Apple and other companies cave and apologize for the most inane minutiae.
Yeah you do, it's itemised on the receipt/invoice. You're legally required to break it down and provide a receipt so that business customers are able to correctly account for VAT. The only difference is which price goes on the tag/menu.

I've heard this argument loads of times in the US, and it's clearly based on a belief that taxes should add friction so people understand how expensive they are.

Most other countries have gone the other way and decided that transparent sticker pricing is more important than people understanding that their taxes are separate from the price of goods.

Well actually, I use FreeBSD as my daily driver (on a used ThinkPad I bought for 300 euros), and I love it. :D

</painfully earnest nerd>

okay, now you're going to tell me that FreeBSD is in the "software nobody uses" category isn't it?
Incorrect. In, say, Europe, the final price is on the label and that's what you pay, the receipt lists the individual parts (core price, value added tax etc). And in Japan too - I'm looking at a receipt right now.
they were gratuitously and violently destroyed, with shrapnel and debris flying in all directions.

these hydraulic press videos are popular because they crush things. they don't create artful unions, they pulverize.
It is also a false equivalence.

An iPad will never replicate the beauty of a human playing a piano or a violin.

It’s dumb consumerism trying to make us believe that life comes down to buying rather than living.
Believing expiration dates on raw, unsealed food is silly.

But for packaged food, I have to wonder if the companies are as evil as some would wish.

I’ve definitely noticed chips/crackers start to taste rancid not long after the expiration date.

Preservatives and such do break down. Do we really want to be eating that? The manufacturers know the breakdown behavior and probably want to limit liability and negative experiences. Do safety studies take decomposing preservatives into account? (Questions, but suspect the answers are “No”)
While I don't agree with most of your analysis - in particular for the second example, I'd invite you to read its explainer that goes into much more depth (https://elv.sh/learn/scripting-case-studies.html#update-serv...) - I think you might be more interested in the Oil Shell project, which is trying to chart a smooth upgrade path from bash: https://www.oilshell.org

I think we simply can't say for sure which path is better for the future of shells, and I'm quite excited by the fact that different projects are exploring different directions. I will just stick to the path I find best and won't try to convert you :)
that's not true. you have it written explicitly in the final check. you just don't have to do the mental gymnastics of figuring out how much you'll pay before ordering, which is absolutely absurd
This AI Content Identification and Validation Tool boasts robust features to recognize and confirm content created by advanced language models including GPT-4 and ChatGPT. Crucially, the tool's innovative "bypassGPT" function allows users to effortlessly rewrite AI-generated text, facilitating the creation of human-like content that can evade AI detection systems.
You get e from the primes by averaging the set size of only growing gaps (2,3,5)(7,11)(13,17)... or only non-shrinking gaps (2,3,5,7,11)(13,17)(19,23,29)...

Not a property of primes per se, just a property of growth. It works better with a set of randoms.
Huh? It's typically stated on receipts, by law.
> I'd love to give them my money if I they would just stop pushing MacOS and force feeding their app store ecosystem.

But that's opposed to Apple's revenue goals. They make far, far more money from services and their app ecosystem than from hardware. It's in Apple's best interest to keep you in their walled garden.

You owning and controlling your own software keeps Apple from making money on you. You're much better off in the long run supporting vendors who make their money from hardware and don't lock you in.
Is the specification really 10x the size of the source code, or are you including the proof of the specification?

Your claim about "x64 assembler" is dubious.
I like that the pushback is people have to begrudgingly pay the full prices but won’t pay the full price if given the choice upfront.

Do none of their customers come back after knowing the honest cost?
If the iPad was able to run "full strength" macOS and be a part of that creative ecosystem instead of the super limited iPadOS one, then this article might be completely correct.

Hopefully it happens for some reason, whether that be due to the EU, or Apple finally gaining a clue for other reason(s).
Native apps have to be installed. You don't want to give every power they have to random websites (say, that phishing domain at the top of a Google SERP), not for a very good reason. "My custom dropdown can't draw past the boundary of the viewport" isn't a very good reason.
Agreed entirely. The substitution in the article didn’t cause much inconvenience to the readers, even if it was new to them (it was new to me). But people sure seem to have an appetite for complaining about it rather than the substance of the article.
I know it's more complicated than this, but whenever I see businesses complaining about how including all the fees upfront will harm their business I can't help but read it as "Our business wouldn't be viable without the ability to lie to our customers."
It's a “headless” CMS because content is saved as JSON on APIs. Think of each page's content as an array of blocks, each with its own ID, Type, and Props.

It's also “visual” because the React Bricks library (used on the frontend project - Next.js, Remix or Gatsby), matches your bricks (the visual editable components) with the JSON content, to render the website and make it visually editable in the admin interface.
I don’t really understand the outrage over this stupid ad. It feels like a lot of virtue signaling and faux outrage.

I don’t see it particularly wasteful - especially when you consider all of the other things that go into making _any_ commercial. Are we also outraged that people travel to sets to create Apples other ads? After all, those activities generate waste (but you don’t see it on screen). Is Apple supposed to stop creating ads?

Okay, hydraulic presses are kind of violent, but they’re not inherently destructive devices. They’re an incredibly common manufacturing process. They literally form raw materials into useful components. This feels pretty on point with my interpretation of Apples message - we’ve put all of these great things into an iPad.
Most of the time they do the trick (when rate limited). Even using a birthday will still stop card thieves from emptying your bank account at an ATM.

I'd hazard a guess that asking for an 8 digit pin will see lots of people just repeat the first 4 digits again.
I don't like any of their stupid ads but I'm not harmed by them and I don't need an apology.
You get what you pay for. AirBnb isn’t cheap. Rando fees, poor support, 100 ways to lose your money to Scams.

AirBnB stock is doing well, that means people are buying what they have to sell. Even if people occasionally get shit.

Demand meets Supply. Law of nature.
The OS is not a joke since it can do some stuff better than either Windows or Linux can but I completely agree that there are some serious limitations or omissions that should have been fixed.

I think they don't because they have an incentive to not do so: they get a cut on all the software you have to purchase on the App Store to make up for it.
It might not look like a lot, but if a large portions of Mac users need to buy a 5-10 bucks app to fix the windows management problems, it becomes serious money at 15-30% cut on millions of purchases...

And this is precisely the problem with Apple today. They are not honest enough to fix or improve the stuff they sell at a very high price, both because they sell it anyway and because they put in place many incentives for themselves to not do so.

There is the running meme of the iPad calculator but macOS could also use some care on the calculator/grapher not having received serious attention in decades. At the price they sell their stuff that would seem like a given, but considering they'll make money on the apps you buy to improve that situation, they'll never do so.

After using Apple App Stores for so many years, I wish I didn't, the convenience really isn't worth the cost down the road...
In principal I agree, but Costantinople had a sounder claim.

In 298 the emperor Diocleziano split the empire in two different administrative parts, the western one, culturally latin, and the eastern one, culturally greek.

The emperor Costantine I moved the capital from Rome to Costantinople in the 320s, the city was called also New Rome and the greek inhabitants of the eastern empire called themselves "Romei", and the balkans have been called then Rumelia a term that spread even further under the Ottomans. Even today many turks use the term "Rumeli" for balkan people (as Balkans is a term introduced two centuries ago by a german geographer).

By the end of the 4th century the split was basically complete and the latest Latin-born emperor of Byzanthium was Giustiano in the 7th century.

I think that the history of the Eastern Roman Empire has enough "de jure" claims for the inheritance.

This also connects to Russia.

By the fall of Costantinople in 1453 no country claimed to inherit the throne of the eastern roman empire but Russia. The Tsar Ivan III married the last granddaughter of the last emperor (Constantine III) thus uniting the bloodlines. The crown of the byzanthine empire was then given to the Tsars as it was the last country in Europe of greek-orthodox descendance (visible still today, both in religion, culture and language) thus claiming to inherit the throne of the roman emperors more than a thousand years after.

I do absolutely agree with you about the legitimacy, I don't think there's necessarily any nor I think it's relevant, but I find this extremely interesting nonetheless.

Let's not fall into the trap of assuming you can't have a feeling if you don't speak it into existence. People stating their feelings are actually doing Apple a big favor. The alternative is nobody says anything but keeps their feelings bottled up and simply walk around with a negative opinion of Apple because of the advertisement.
> The law is simple: the price you see is the price you pay

Not true when you still have to tip.
Amen. But we should reframe this: these workers should be paid a fair wage, tipping will then become optional and significantly reduce.

Americans should raise service worker’s wages to a decent living salary.
I think it's more like: you get pinged with a lovely cheap-looking offer from a nice restaurant, and so you click into the app and start building your pizza (or whatever) and by the time you see the real price you...just want the pizza.
Oh wow.

In the video, it was suggested that Caine would get in the back of other actors scenes. Of course the extent of it in the video is obviously parody.

But is there anything to it? I imagine an actor could, for example, cheat a bit in the two shots; look right at the camera while they are the speaker, then just shift a little bit while the other actor is speaking, not enough to be obvious, but just enough to catch the camera with a little bit more of their face…
He! Thanks for downvote. Someone really loves Apple.
It's crazy that California is doing this at all. And it's crazy they "fix" this same bug over and over for different types of businesses. Is this just so politicians can be seen doing something?

This should be covered very clearly by the existing federal laws against fraud. Because that's what this is. If you say "10 dollars" and then after they say "11 dollars" when it's time to pay, that's just fraud.
That's basically running two OSes. Don't think that's a great idea. We have enough cruft.
Will this processor suffer from the same vulnerabilities as was just discovered on the previous M1-3?
Nationwide please.
You’re not wrong. We don’t even having a “serving wage” in Ontario; all waitstaff make at least minimum wage ($16.55).

But we follow America to a tee with this sorta thing, and you’re some sort of heathen if you don’t pay at least 20% extra for the privilege of eating out.
I honestly think Google is completely vulnerable in search currently, the actual results you get back from Google and Image Search are shockingly poor, even get it zclaiming it has no results now for some queries which I just know isn't true because 10 years ago you could type anything in and there would be at least 6 figures if not 7 figures of results for any term.

Actually think even if a western company just launched Google from 10 years ago again today people would switch over because it would be better than what their offering today is.

Not sure if OpenAI will get converts but it's definitely the right time to be taking on those stagnant and rotten products Google has, well neglected isn't the right word but more spent the past few years optimizing the wrong metric to the point of breaking the product.
It's a shame there's still so few high-end games to flex the hardware. Publishers interest in doing Mac ports is still almost zero, as I understand it the Death Stranding and Resident Evil ports only happened because Apple bankrolled them so they'd have something to show off at their hardware launches.
You mean energy-efficient, this would be neuron, or synapse-efficient.

An Interview with Jack Dorsey
I want the US government to pass a law requiring all taxes to be included in the listed price at any retail outlet in the United States. It is ridiculous to see an item you're interested in buying, check the price tag, and get only an approximation of how much money you will have to spend to acquire it at the register.

Often with small-dollar items, the exact amount of money is relevant. I might have a $5 bill, but not have $5.39. So if that item that says "$4.99" on the price sticker costs $5.39 when I get to the register, that is just a nuisance and a waste of everyone's time.

And for what purpose? I can't believe that retail outlets don't already just price tax into the stated price.

Are they concerned that people are going want to shop elsewhere and pay the same amount of money but also go through more nuisance and do more math in their head along the way because they prefer to initially see a lower price?
Recording and mass production made “I want to be a musician” similar to “I want to be a pro football player” by the middle of last century (“big band” style being popular, and live radio, kept the career alive for a while)

It cut the value, monetary and social, of anything but great talent and skill down to almost zero, where one middling ability had had substantial value. It shifted the reward for it almost entirely to the tip-top of the skill hierarchy.

I think the level most people engage with music making (a hobby, for themselves primarily) will survive just fine. Some of the already-tiny set of paying jobs it composition, especially, may be in trouble, but that was already a rare career.

1.4 petabytes for 1mm3. There are about 1100000mm3 of them in the brain. So we're talking about 1_540_000 petabytes. The web is about 175 zeta bytes, so about 17500 petabytes. So the brain would be 1_540_000 / 17500 = 88 times the size of internet.

Now that's big.
The popover API feature turned out to be super useful when writing a userscript for extracting data from a website recently.

If it's just a matter of 5% inefficiency, I have to think that there must exist some possible mechanism for capturing the economic benefits of satellite internet (with a tax, perhaps) and redirecting a portion to astronomy to increase budgets there by 5% (or more) so that everybody wins.
France. You'll get a two hour lunch break too.
Mostly because, and this is the kicker, that does not matter to the vast majority of people buying coffee.

If I buy a cup of coffee with a listed price of €2, I pay €2. I know that 9% of that is value added tax (here in the Netherlands), and the receipt will show that too — if I care, which I usually don't.

Value added taxes are pretty much a fact of life. I know it's there, and there is absolutely no need to constantly bug me about them by doing funny stuff with the pricing; just show me what I have to pay at the till.
Per Occam’s Razor, this is the most likely explanation. The title can be fixed with a simple comma, instead of some multi-character, multi-syllable word like “before”.

Movies generate something that’s visually interesting. If this wasn’t an ad, wouldn’t you say it was visually interesting to see what happens when you crush something like that? Things get destroyed all the time for visuals, experiments, someone’s ”fun”, etc.

I think the difference is that people are very removed from what waste actually is, and when they see what it actually happens all day every day to all those items, shock. We all generate this every day. In the big picture, someone’s old trumpet in an attic is going to end up in a landfill once they move/die/need space. Once it got produced, its final form is landfill.

Even if I don’t believe in the product, and I don’t think of the company very fondly, I lean towards considering the ad anti waste.
“You no longer need to buy and store and move and hoard all these things, you only need an iPad”. It’s not saying “go crush all this items to buy an iPad”, it’s saying “don’t generate all this other waste, you can do it all here”

Volume wise at least, there is more waste in the “loved” items, and no one is recycling emoji squishy balls.
I think it's this unconscious desire to share strong opinions about any large enough bit of news. While I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing to have personable opinions about anything large or small - I've noticed more and more that people just need to satiate this hunger to share it.

And it's typically devoid of any nuance, it's shallow, quick, and distilled down into this form that begs people to react.

I see it mostly on reddit on posts that have hundreds to one or two thousand comments where 50% of the replies have almost the identical opinion. Everyone has this need to share it, even if it isn't nearly that original.

There's probably some societal change that someone significantly smarter than I can speak to, but this whole "digital town square" approach has kinda turned into a maelstrom of the most toxic opinions that people probably don't hold _that strongly_ if you asked them face-to-face in person.
As the article mentions, you had to crush alot of snails to get that dye.

The story goes that Roman senators would wear a purple stripe across their toga as a symbol of their status. Julius Caesar, not to be outdone, started wearing an all-purple toga. Which then became the mark of the emperor.
