I bought a used M1 Max MBP recently, in part because the Asahi features table is starting to look pretty good.

But with the remaining outstanding hardware issues and the battery life gap in mind, I will probably get an overall better experience sooner if I just pony up for the upcoming Snapdragon X Elite laptop from Tuxedo Computers¹. :-\

On the other hand, the whole Linux desktop stack has benefited from work that Asahi devs have done, so I think that project is still undeniably valuable even for users on other aarch64 hardware.

That’s absurd. That’s not their mandate. They aren’t kings. They’re supposed to serve us.

An empirically baseless conspiracy theory.

That was my point. Apple isn't actually capable of completely avoiding detection.

Anyway, just as I don't trust Apple absolutely, I don't distrust Apple absolutely either. They do some user-hostile things, which are richly deserving of criticism, but I prefer to engage with facts and evidence rather than idle speculation and paranoia.
we still do this. My spouse and I drive a ten year old beat up Prius and I love it. it's a point of pride that I don't need a fancier car, and the utility and efficiency actually feel good (sadly EVs aren't an option for us).
I replied this to the parent comment as well, but I highly recommend journaling about your "fleeting memories". It will help you remember and enjoy your memories for longer.
"Nah, those uppity software engineers don't need any additional training. How dare they think they have any right to tell us how to manage this roll-out" says management, "We'll just cowboy this update and wipe out 8.5 million systems. Besides, it's not like they're working on nuclear reactors, yeah? How complex could it be?"

You're just proving my point in that it's a CTO that dismisses the argument in a rather childish way. They would be the one to be told 'no' by the now-professional software engineers when their license and livelihood is on the line while being pressured to do something that goes against their recommendation. Funny how that power dynamic changes when there's something real on the line and not just an inflated title, huh?

Perhaps if those aerospace and software engineers that attempted to blow the whistle at Boeing were successful and were empowered via their license to say enough and stop development on MCAS, there wouldn’t be 300+ dead people because of a software change rammed through by management. The licensure ain’t just window dressing. It has real, actual impact on real human lives. Don’t be so dismissive.
What happened was some godawful poetry.

I can't really say what would comprise great poetry but I know overworked doggerel when I see it.
>There's always the risk of losing previously effective drugs due to resistance, so the value of redundancy cannot be overstated

Redundancy in HIV drugs is extremely important and significantly more resources should be applied to such drugs, as well as to treatment regimens and vaccines that can significantly reduce HIV infection and the horrible effects of AIDS.

In fact, we've made enormous advances over the past 35+ years. My (late) sister's (late) husband was a hemophiliac and, like most American hemophiliacs[0], was infected with HIV because big pharma refused to test the blood products[1] they were selling to hemophiliacs, even though they knew there was a significant risk in doing so.

In any case, my sister took care of her husband for nearly 15 years, until he finally died a slow, painful death in 1996. My sister was also HIV+ and didn't wish to suffer the way her husband had, especially since there was no one to care for her the way she cared for him. And so, over Memorial Day weekend, 1996, my sister took her own life rather than die a slow, painful death.

The irony, of course, was that the first protease inhibitors were approved by the FDA five or six months later. Had she waited, she might well be alive today. And more's the pity.

As such, I strongly believe in research to prevent, treat and cure HIV/AIDS, and heartily agree that we need more good drugs and treatments.

However, the value of anything can be overstated, including redundancy in HIV drugs.

"Without significant redundancy in HIV drugs, all life in the universe will be extinguished."

"Without significant redundancy in HIV drugs, our sun will explode in 2043."

"Without significant redundancy in HIV drugs, the oceans will boil, then evaporate in the next six weeks."

I could go on, but I presume you get the idea.

Hyperbole can be a short-term motivator, but we need to continue over the long term to stop HIV/AIDS. So, please do advocate for more research/drugs/treatments, but please don't use such language in doing so -- it cheapens the argument and potentially reduces the resources available for the efforts you clearly want.

Feel free to disagree, but doing so will give you terminal cancer.[2]

No doubt that Fair Source and other eventually open source products are better than never open source products. Absolutely! And if Fair Source succeeds in getting more developers to release code, even if the code is 2 years old, as open source, I am all for it. I just want a clear understanding of what it is and what it isn't and what makes it different from open source.
Sorry, but this is ridiculous. $60,000 divided by five years (yeah, it will last much longer than that) is $12,000. If you're making hundreds of thousands a year and can't afford $12,000 for a car, taxes are not the problem.

I should have anticipated that question!

Essentially because nobody was allowed to trim/maintain the trees due to it being a natural habitat. It's nice to look at but when a 60m tree falls in a storm and wipes out your house it's not great. The reserve was also on the north side of the property and down here in the southern hemisphere that means that every year as the trees grow your house gets more and more shade with accompanying maintenance issues.

I should add that people may weigh that up and be happy to live there, but people should be aware of the risk/benefits before they buy. Natural light/property orientation and shading is a major issue that most people forget about.
This is a no true Scotsman fallacy. Any time it runs incorrectly, it was invoked with the wrong operating conditions — which seem to be defined as any conditions that cause it to run incorrectly.

Sugar in the tank is an agreeable example because of how obvious it is, but what about something more subtle? An odd condition that leads to the wrong resonant frequency. An unknown software bug that makes the brakes lock up on Tuesdays at 12:00 AM on one specific backroad in a remote part of Virginia. The combinatorial possibilities of operating conditions are too numerous to exhaustively test.

I guess you could say that every function has every quality that it happens to have, so that functions need only exist in order to be “correct.”

It’s always been a GPU driver issue when I’ve seen a meaningful difference in performance between Chrome, Safari or Firefox. (I’ve seen such issues on everything from 128 thread xeons to one core atoms, and also on Arm).

One of them ends up falling back on some legacy thing when the other two don’t.

Once, I encountered two identical machines with the same version of debian. Chrome was unusably slow on one, and Firefox was unusably slow on the other. The other browser ran great.

Browsers and modern hardware are complicated.

There are government policies, and the policies of private parties.

If the government passes a law saying they kill two people for having consentual sex, yes, those people are harmed.

If one of those people has a policy that they dont want to have sex with you, that isnt harm.

In the case of the kiosk, the other private party is the one with their own personal policy. You dont get to dictate what is good for them and what they want. what if they care more about the line order than making money? that is totally within their rights.

The point is you dont get to make that decision for them any more than you do for a woman. You dont get to override and decide her preferences are simply wrong.

If you are doing Windows C/C++ development, you can use the strsafe.h functions (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/strsafe/). When I wrote C/C++, I found them easier to use than the standard C functions because they handled all of the usual failure cases (buffer too small, integer overflow, etc.). It was also easy to check if there was a failure because all of the functions returned a failure code if something went wrong.

In this case, StringCchCopyW(), or StringCbCopyW() would be a better choice than strcpy.

Some monitoring of protests is necessary to ensure the safety of protestors and keep track of the potential for violence or other crimes from protestors or opportunists. For example I went to a BLM protest and it was pretty chaotic and there were counter-protestors and some minor vandalism of the local courthouse. Seeing how I was at a BLM protest I'm not a police fan but it was a chaotic situation with the potential to escalate so it so they should have a handle on what's happening and what the dangers are. It's an extreme example but January 6th is a good example of what happens when they misjudge those things.

Edit: to be clear in the case of the BLM protest I went to the organizers coordinated with the police so I'm not aware of any particular surveillance for it.
Is that really the case though? The only real difference was the eyewear, age, and a bit of an attitude that contrasted with the rest.
I am generally highly sympathetic to this sort of article because open source can be so thankless, a ton of work, and people can be jerks. He makes some excellent points.

A couple of times though I got the impression that he has some responsibility for some of the hurt he experiences. At one point he says it is hurtful when someone writes an article pointing out the “dumb” parts of python. While the word “dumb” may be less than ideal, there are by his own count 90 other committers besides him and 7 million total python contributors. Maybe he’s taking the criticism too personally.

Or here, he says pointing out something is “broken” in a bug report is hurtful to him:

>Assuming your contribution makes sense, you also need to pay attention to how you communicate. It is not uncommon for someone to submit a change and point out how they are trying to "fix this broken/wrong thing". I don't think people necessarily intend to be mean, but realize that when you say something like that you are telling me I failed and you're trying to clean up my mess. The put-down of saying I did a bad job does not motivate me to want to review your change, nor does it motivate me to want to contribute further if my work is just going to be viewed as bad.

In my opinion, if someone talks about your work in a non personal way, and you take it personally, that’s on you. In any field we need to be able to criticize work in a way that is hopefully kind but also honest. I think complaining about the word “broken” in a bug report is over the top and potentially creates unrealistic expectations that lead to a paralyzing inability to communicate clearly.

> "At this stage of the war, the lack of modern weaponry and ammunition meant that most were armed with swords or even bamboo spears."

So basically defenseless. I understand that your opinion is that at the time they did not think of themselves as defenseless but this actually doesnt matter to me in the moral claims. The fact is that they were defenseless and we nuked them twice. We nuke them because we wanted to test these weapons and AFAIK the USA kept these cities from bombing raids in order to test the effectiveness of the weapons.

Also the Japanese being 'too long' to surrender because they were not a well organized fighting force by that time. I think it was days before they even understood what happened in Hiroshima.

and to address your edit:
The irony is that we actually gave them what they wanted. The wanted to keep the emperor and we caved.

Clinical trial failure rates (or inversely success rates) have been analyzed before.

"They found that the probability of success was 63% in Phase I trials, 31% in Phase II trials, 58% in Phase III trials and 85% during the regulatory review process"

42% failure rates in phase 3 is enormously high. By then you've pretty much spent 90%+ of all the cost of getting a drug approved.

My management expected everyone, who already had a full time job working on their main product, to also be a full stack react+flask dev on the side, to push the CIO’s pet project. It failed within 18 months due to licensing costs. We switched to some other platform, so all that work, if it was even done, was thrown away and had to be done again on a new platform.

I tried explaining to my boss that a BE dev isn’t going to jump into react in a day or two, but the expectations had been set. The principal architect on the project also quit, came back, rebranded everything for no reason, then quit again. It’s been a mess.

Luckily, I was able to avoid getting too deep into it, as it was obviously going to fail, and I was able to kick the can down the road until it did.

Ok, that actually sounds interesting. Still haven't heard of anyone using it, and closed-source makes it a non-starter, but I'm vaguely interested. Even then though, sounds like their client libraries are only .NET?

> As for identity, you sound really silly when you consider it is literally built-in to ASP .NET itself, and can be expanded upon to your hearts desire, plus there's no shortage of available identity management libraries in C#.

Sure there is plenty of support for it within the platform. My point is no-one's writing their organisational SSO system in C#, unless they're already bought into the Windows stack.

There are plenty of linters for C#, sure. But no-one would write a general linter in it. It was an example that came to mind because that was how Facebook first started adopting OCaml - a linter is a small standalone tool, so it's an ok place to experiment with a new technology stack.
