I do pretty much the same thing, though i backup locally to a NAS via TM, and remote to OneDrive using Arq.

Like you, i've also never had to restore, but i somewhat frequently (every 30 days) verify my backups, and i've never encountered a problem with Arq. TimeMachine also appears to have become a whole lot better at not corrupting your backups every n days, but i guess that's APFS at work for you.

The one remaining thing i have left is to figure out the "proper" way to backup iCloud only storage. Currently i have an app on each users device that uploads photos to a NAS, and each users laptop then backs up that share on the NAS to the cloud when Arq runs (i use scheduled snapshots on the NAS so no backup NAS to NAS for local).

While it "works", i don't completely trust it, and i would much prefer a better way. I'm aware i can put the photo library on an external drive and download originals, but that's not very practical for people that bring their laptops with them, and also access photo libraries on the go.

The only other solution i've come up with, is to have a dedicated "always on" machine, where each user logs in through remote desktop, and have that download originals for all users, but it requires me to remember to ask each person to login to the machine every time it's rebooted, which again is a chore, and i much prefer something automated that runs on the persons own devices instead of a centralized setup.
> What is the loss to publishers to just give it away?

They get caught with lies.
The main business of a newspaper is propaganda. Propaganda bases its efectiveness on the fact that people forget easily.
"Lunar gravity" is the effect of innumerable individual particles exerting a gravitational force, so that's not really macro.
It's a server authoritative system, so the final state is determined by the server. There's a single global order of changes (basically the order the changes were processed by the server), so any conflicts are basically resolved by the server, but are applied optimistically on the clients when online or offline.

I can't tell exactly from your question if you're asking about the client going offline before or after making the change, or before or after recieving the server's version of the change, but either way the servers version wins and the client will have to catch up after it's back online.
She also wrote a book with a famous climate change denier, which is a bad move if you're trying to convince scientists, but a great move if you want to reach an audience of conspiracy theorists.
JP (HL) seems to be a disambiguator vs. JP HL (jump to label HL) and the register swap instructions, while quirky, seem justifiable as well.

I would just add SUB A, B (etc.) and call it a day.

edit: looks like the Z800 was an improved/orthogonalized (and pipelined!) extension of the Z80 that maintained software compatibility. And it looks like the SUB A, B format is supported by eZ80 assemblers, though A is still the only valid 8-bit accumulator.
Well that's all fun and games until you start putting off paying Internet bill for two weeks because it turns out that you misconfigured your password app and it actually didn't save your password to the utility service provider and you realize you have no internet one day and you have a school assignment ugh and maybe your credit score gets 0.5% lower and yeah it's all very much your fault. "But you can just be more careful! Handle stuff like this as it arises!" Yeah, sure, just like during Communist times you could easily get more than one pound of coffee per half a year if you're just careful and note when it's available in stores as a drop-in

I believe this whole Apple vs Linux debate is perfectly analogous to the West vs East Germany debate, to the point that almost all intuitions/arguments for the latter are perfectly reusable in the former
Last time i heard him in an Interview he was already sluring and taking long times bevore he answered. I think there's metabolic problems and that he hasnt got much time left - sadly. I learned a lot from his lectures.

a friend asked me if I could use AI to restore some old photos his dad had taken of buildings, as the construction details were lost. I scouted for an AI model that could handle the task, and the results were surprisingly good.

Apps aren't updated. Web browsing is unsafe.
I wish the password manager app allowed you to set a custom password to open the app. The iPhone password is something that people often share easily with those around them. With just the passcode, a person with bad intentions could easily gain access to all the passwords
Notation has changed over the years. Even twenty years ago you could pick up (admittedly dated) books using descriptive notation (e.g. P-K4). It's pretty clear what is the accepted standard for notation today though.
Because it dates to a time when such attacks were infeasible. GPS is very similar in that regard. Even HTTPS was uncommon back when I was in university. NASA spacecraft still communicate over unencrypted channels.

Mindsets were different then.
So how is it humble? He is just saying he didn't hobnob with known intellectuals - isn't that just a statement of fact?
encryption was expensive in GSM days.

People seem to forget that dedicated TLS acceleration hardware was a thing not long ago.
A lot of studies are like this. They build on existing ideas and push the boundaries in a very specific direction. Here they show that adding a forest floor environment to a kindergarten will increase certain immune related markers in the blood of the children playing there. They managed to design the study so that you can’t say “oh, but children playing in kindergartens close to forests probably don’t live in cities, so they probably don’t get exposed to as much pollution”.

Other studies will find links between those immune related markers and the development of autoimmune related disease, or someone will do a statistical analysis on kids that grew up in kindergartens close to forests to see if their incidence of autoimmune related disease is lower.
I do! I work from home and when home I never know where my phone is. Having messages and calls on my desktop means I don't have to care.
Slightly off topic, but this is demonstrated in a show called Mr. Robot. I find it insanely cool that the hacking in Mr. Robot closely resembles real life.
The reasons are very not obvious to me. Could you elaborate?
I imagine half the problem is that, at 33mph, the arm has to be so close to you as to make reading any ball flight nearly impossible. So I'm not sure how representative of a human bowler it would be (world class spin at dolly-hop pace!)

Your reply can be summarized as "workplace is magically immune to natural friction that occurs when people from vastly different social groups interact because I strongly believe in HR's wishful thinking and besides, talking about two social groups that are commonly known to hate each other to the point that they don't want to recognize each other's statehood is just non-compliant and goes against our community standards"
Chomsky has very controversial opinions on some subjects and I suspect that precludes him being invited to many parties.
Growing up on a farm improves the immunological responses that regulates allergies, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Although it isn't exactly clear what causes it:

He wrote that before the truth was known, while the genocide was ongoing and the only thing we had was scattered reports of atrocities. This was the 70s, we did not exactly have telegram livestream channels from the frontlines. It was a mistake and he recanted those views in the later stages of the regime and afterwards, when the evidence became overwhelming.

Is there a good non-Apple reference for the functions performed by their servers?
That's not classic webcam though and it's definitely not overpriced if it works as advertised.

Getting a 360° video feed that's automatically cropped to 4k into the correct direction while keeping the audio feed stable from multiple microphones etc...

these kinds of conference room solutions often go into the range of multiple thousand.

If it works as advertised at least. It probably doesn't, but I've got no experience with that company. I just can't see them creating a good 360° feed wile outputting quality 4k video cropped to the person speaking in that budget. You'd realistically need multiple of the lenses like the opus C1 as fishlens wouldn't allow you to keep the 4k Output looking good enough.

I'd have expected a device at least 4x the size with a price of 10k at minimum for the features they're advertising
> It makes total sense to me that they decide what software is allowed on their device.

What do you mean their device?

If they gift it to me for free, ok it is their device.

If I buy it, it is MINE and only I must be able to control what runs on it.
You’ll also never win an argument when assuming that the people you disagree with haven’t thought this through and come up with a different conclusion. The snark is from the implication that we’re either clueless or blind to it. The more likely explanation is that we have different priorities, and that we’re viewing the question from a different angle. That doesn’t make us ignorant or unprincipled, any more than you disagreeing with me makes you naive or unserious.

We have different ideas. That’s all. There’s no need to look down on each other for it.
I don't understand how you can get any information from that line about the reasons why he wasn't close to them.
So... the content is irrelevant :)

All that matters is presentation and then you'll have "engagement".

No need to be talking about anything interesting.
Also by my interpretation it sounds like the author welcomed the excuse for a project
And, I don't think that many-worlds even says that "everything that can happen does happen". It does say that a lot of branching goes on though :)

Might as well quote Sean Carroll again, he's an expert and I am not:

"The Schrödinger equation tells us that there's a wave function that evolves over time and then you can ask how I can divide that wave function into a set of decohered non-interacting worlds and those are the worlds that happen. It is nowhere close to saying everything happens. It is what is predicted by the Schrödinger equation That is what happens."

Interestingly, people seem less bothered by the idea that the universe might be infinite in size even though that has a similar feature that a lot of things happen. So it just seems to me that the discomfort is people worrying about the idea that there are copies of themselves out there somewhere when they really shouldn't. At least no more than if in an infinite universe there would also be infinite repetition and infinite identical "yous". This is starting to sound like a Douglas Adams bit now :D
Does this change his opinion on Sapir-Whorf? Is that even knowable?
So is it software in the OS, or is it firmware in the touchpad itself? Software in the OS should be very easy to improve, but it seems like it should be very device-specific. Firmware in the touchpad controller is another matter.
> Most phone providers are part of a scheme that allows customers to report suspicious text messages for free by forwarding it to 7726. If you forward a text to 7726, your provider can investigate the origin of the text and arrange to block or ban the sender, if it’s found to be malicious

It would be useful to have a list of Countries/operators adopting the 7726 ("SPAM") number. It seems also some European Countries do.
The interesting point here is that developers targeting the Mac can safely assume that the users will have a processor capable of significant AI/ML workloads. On the Windows (and Linux) side of things, there's no common platform, no assumption that the users will have an NPU or GPU capable of doing what you want. I think that's also why Microsoft was initially going for the ARM laptops, where they'd be sure that the required processing power is available.
What makes you believe this would work? Specifically any form of anarchism? Have you seen groups of people operate for large periods of time successfully like this? Anything I've looked into shows me human nature would make any anarcho-anything system fail due to infighting.
Oh?

Looks visible, to me.

Tiananmen Square even shows Tank Man on the first page, 13th and 15th entry, for me. Admittedly, I expected it more quickly on Tiananmen Square; but that might be because I, as a person, forgot that it's also a literal square with more stuff going on at it than a single moment in history.
if you have to distribute via website or alternative app store, everybody can always have a known person to be responsible for piracy, in addition, it is just as easy to block as apps in apple's app store

sony is not yet a gatekeeper, might be in the future... apple does not have to sell in Europe, if it does, and big enough (no need to be monopoly) to be a gatekeeper, law and rules say they operate a critical infrastructure/platform in the EU economy and hence they cannot tax developers (a country has such powers)

the question is not whether Apple has to change but a question might be why? this is the field of monopolistic power and competition law... monopoly profit is not inherently bad, can help innovation but along the way we figured out it is probably best to curb this power in the long run

Apple had its time of their life and to be honest, I see little meaningful innovation in the last 5+ years, however, they suppress competition and innovation in the economy, controlling a gateway between innovative developers and users

another aspect is consumer prices... should consumers get lower prices or let apple take monopolistic tax from them? of course lower prices seems to be better nd it is one goal... however, we should and we do allow success and monopolistic profit by each and every big innovation, in the beginning and Apple has already had that

it is a bit like an economy supports patent law and competition law at the same time

most people are motivated by financial success and most company pay research and innovation for potential monopolistic profit and this works and it is protected! however, competition law or new forms of it like DMA kicks in later on

it is like you innovate, use patents, get big money but if you grow big you are not allowed to become like all companies become if not controlled: shifting from competitive innovative power to a country like taxing power

I think it is correct that we need competition law too, if we really think about our past, economics, history, and what motivates people

> Am I only person who's reached their threshold on companies forcing and shoving AI into every layer and corner of our lives?

After a random update my bank's app has received AI assistant out of blue to supposedly help their clients.

At first I was interested how these algorithms could enhance apps and services but now, this does indeed feels like shoving AI everywhere it's possible even if it doesn't makes any sense; as if companies are trying to shake a rattle over your baby's cradle to entertain it.

Aside above, I was hoping that after this WWDC Siri would get more languages so I could finally give it instructions in my native language and make it actually more useful. But instead there are generated emoticons coming (I wonder if people even remember that word). I guess chasing the hottest trends seems more important for Apple.
Hindsight is 20/20, though I was asking similar things since almost the beginning. If the car went off the road - there must have been signs for it. Broken shrubs, trees, car parts, etc.

Especially for the first case, where OP found Citroen car parts on the side of the road 10 years after the accident.

My only guess - in the middle of forested Finland - police force is small and most likely overworked.
I recall speeches by British celebs in the late 90s when this sort of thing first became fashionable. Some lady told a huge crowd that they need to unplug their kettles. You are not serious people.

But I'm sure it feels great to sit around at conferences and discuss "pushing people to take the bus". Heck, it is a whole industry unto itself, isn't it?

P.S. - I do think climate change is a serious issue. Figured I'd mention that before the usual responses that shun and excommunicate me as a "denier".

This will simply not have "political solutions".
Realistically the greens are counter productive to the max and always have been. It is simply the self-flagellation remnant bits of defunct religions. Devoid of rationality.

Regardless of whether you think vaccines should be required or not, the mRNA COVID vaccines have objectively proven to be both safe and effective. Though not as effective as everyone would have liked at reducing spread, it certainly reduced severity of cases.
Confused european here:

So SMS goes over the phone network, online chat programs (like Discord) go over their own servers obviously, but what does RCS and iMessage go through?

Google's and Apple's servers on the internet? The phone system, seeing they're SMS-based?

Also, if I'm in the SMS messaging app, I expect my messages to be SMS, not internet-based?
When Germany invaded Poland, the vast majority of its (believe it or not limited) fighting power was fully tied up in that conflict. During that same time, The larger, stronger, better equipped French army could have (with the aid of the BEF) invaded Germany from its border with it (and possibly even through Belgium) and caused absolute chaos in the German's plans for expansion. ven if the French/British had failed to make that invasion decisive, it would almost certainly have broken the back of the entire chain of lightning victories and support for Hitler that came later. At the very least, that preemptive invasion attempt would have been able to mobilize the French Army enough to completely forestall the terrible consequences of low morale and rapid military collapse that eventually befell France when it actually was invaded so spectacularly.

The above is in my view a near certainty if it had happened that way. More speculatively, had Churchill been Prime Minister instead of Chamberlain at the time of the Poland invasion (instead of becoming PM right at the time of the invasion of France), the British response would have been much stronger and that would have prompted an also stronger French response that could have dramatically curtailed the scope of the European war.

Hitler's army in 1939 simply wasn't good or well provisioned enough to sustain anything serious against any major enemy. It pulled off what it pulled off in the following months more through a mix of luck and sheer blunder by its enemies.
In this day and age, I think that compartmentalization is the way to go. Gaming, and especially online gaming is basically public by default, so I decided that I don't fight the zeitgeist, rather I search for a place for it. I personally solved this for myself by having a dedicated gaming OS, and by not connecting that OS to my private network. So, there they have it - some control over my machine, but not much of my personal life.
His view regarding the Bosnian genocide is really strange imo. I would correct you that the people perpetrating it weren't really communists, but serbian nationalists.

However, his "USA bad" take is correct because it's true. Being anti-US, anti-NATO, anti-imperialism is the only moral view to have when you look at the history and current politics of the US.
Perhaps. It will be exciting to see if/how that happens. It does seem relatively far off still. At least some years.
As someone who has to help my father with his personal tech as his mental health deteriorates (several brain tumors), I'm thrilled every time I find something that ISN'T locked down behind pin codes, passwords or other authentication methods that he no longer remembers or can communicate.

His current state really has made me think about my own tech, about what should be locked down and what really should not be - things that we lock down out of habit (or by force) rather than out of necessity.
In the Vision Pro demo appointment reel (i.e. anybody can demo the headset for free), everything is 6DOF, most is just stereo. Immersive VR is interactivity, which is more about good UX / gamification and less about using a dual-8k stereo capture device.
If everyone did that, we'd never see anything again.

YouTube Premium is excellent value for money and the only monthly media subscription I actually pay for.
Same here. Every damn time it's only my third idea that is sufficiently correct and maintainable. Unfortunately that means I need to sit and wait before it comes to me.

I could go the analytical road and write down all the requirements, edge cases and just tick them off one bu one but that's throughly exhausting.

At work more often than not I settle on the second iteration, but that is still slow by some people's standards and incurs tech debt.
That is something that Parallels traditionally had for x86, isn't it also the case for Parallels with Windows on ARM?
Complete disagree. Even today they are still trying to get simple stuff like smooth mouse support working, not to mention random crashes of the desktop due to proprietary driver bugs. Every single pro Linux person always claims their desktop works great. Well good for you. You ain't convincing the mass market anytime soon because Linux is NOT at their standard yet. Even if the powers that be manage to completely lock down computing and we lose the war against general computation, people will still not use Linux.
