> Anyone who thinks recycling plastic is some sort of normative good because "waste is bad" clearly hasn't put any thought into what environmental issues need to be focused on right now.

Thing is, we need to find out ways to remove, reduce and recycle plastics as soon as possible. The US may have enough place to place landfills without impacting anyone, but densely settled Europe does not - we're having the requirement that landfills can only take up 10% of residential waste by 2035, the rest has to be either burned or recycled by then. And for that, we need technology to actually recycle the plastic waste to be ready at industrial scale, so we need to focus on that right now. Sorting trash, separating modern multi layer plastics (sometimes a dozen layers of different materials!), recovering polymer source compounds, a lot of that is still open topics that need to be researched.

Additionally, landfills are already bad for the environment - Grady points out the issue in his video indirectly: the birds eat the food waste from all the packaging and end up distributing (micro)plastic waste across the environment surrounding the landfills, which then ends up in the groundwater and surface water bodies. Also the birds pick up and distribute pathogens from the decomposing waste.

Side note: we also need plastics recycling to reduce our dependency on fresh oil products used to manufacture them. Again, the US has it a bit easier due to self-sufficient domestic oil production, but Europe does not.

You are completely missing the point of the original comment. Why is my computer unusable for X minutes when I didn't expect that and perhaps, needed some critical work done?
I remember the same kind of annoyances already in 2009 with Windows (Vista!). It's one of the reasons that made me switch to Mac without any regret. Nothing seems to have changed in 15 years.
AI prompt input will help you get questions on the theme you texted, not the situation for now. But that makes total sense to add extra topic filter like date for AI to get questions regarding your environment! Thank you!

Yeah right, implying everyone should get specified hardware to have a decent user experience definitely seem to be making sense.
> I didn't finish the first book of Baroque Cycle

I found the first one a slog, but the second one more than made up for it. It’s end to end swashbuckling fun. The third one is pretty clever, painting a colourful, accessible summary of how englightenment philosophy and science, and debt-based capitalism shape the modern global economy.

(At least… that’s how I recall them >15 years on)
> Perhaps this was designed for Outlook, but I think the use case is dubious.

Oh, sweet summer child. I sometimes use Windows on my work machine, complete with the "new" Teams and "new" Outlook. For some reason, these need a while to update when I wake my machine from sleep, even though it usually sleeps connected to power, with a network cord plugged in and in range of Wi-Fi. Teams, in particular, will say it's offline for a few minutes, even though I can browse the web as soon as the box actually becomes interactive.

The computer actually does something while asleep, judging by how hot it gets. But, as you say, it's really not clear what. It will do this even though Defender is deactivated (we have some other handbrake at work which doesn't do a full system scan on its own) and the system is fully up-to-date.
Is there a specific piece of software or driver you got installed on all of them? I've owned 2 of 3 of your MacBook model years and 'sleep on lid close' was very reliable on all of them.
Apple Silicon works even better, resume from sleep is instanteneous instead of taking 1-2 seconds.
Windows has too much desktop legacy, it's not built for mobile devices. Windows laptops are portable desktops that should never leave the outlet.
`pmset -g` might give some hints.
Dear Lazyweb, what I miss the most is the ability to drag/drop pictures into my notes. Is that possible ?
This is a cultural reference you don’t get. Welcome to the world of every non-native speaker.
Most of these entries are Naticks where the two crosses are proper nouns. That’s really unpleasant as it usually means there’s no way to figure out the cross unless you know the two terms.

In 2008, he invented on his blog the crossword term "natick" (after Natick, Massachusetts) for an "unguessable" square crossed in both directions by proper nouns considered obscure.
> The question is - is it you or Michelangelo who is the problem?

Clearly in the context of my comment its neither. Its whoever is bringing the naked statues into my workplace.

This (to me) is such a blindingly obvious third option that I assume you deliberately didn't include it as an option because you're trying to argue a point you know is flawed.
> Is there any application of "Modern Standby" that is actually delivering significant value to customers somewhere?

Why do you think it was created to deliver value to the customer?

It is merely a reason for Microsoft to spy^Hextract value from a customer even when the PC is sleeping. Like humans, laptop spend a third of their life in sleep mode and it would be nice to monetise that time, multiplied by a couple billion users.

I think it is clear that the goal of the Windows division is to milk every user for all their worth. By the time they are done, laptops will be an obsolete product and Microsoft doesn't really want to support Windows 20 more years.
But does it? Nobody asked for it, it's not even meaningfully used by any Microsoft product and can't drive sales for them, its endless litany of bugs just increase support workloads.
Sure, as long as Microsoft can force you to use Windows.
Yeah but nobody calls Torvalds about national security if he doesn't push out an upgrade pack, but the same cannot be said about windows.
The more I use this stuff, the less I am convinced it can be used as a tutor. Actually, I think the reverse is true. It could be used to generate bad code for code reviewers to spot!

Just recently gave it a 80 line header-only C++20 code snippet to comment on. As first item, it concluded that my header should be split into a .hpp/.cpp combination. And it proceeded to take one of my template functions, and move the definition into the .cpp file... This is wrong, and broken. Because now, nobody can call that template.

And that is with gpt-4o, the latest flagship thingy... I am sure Claude users will now tell me their pet is more perfect.

Frankly, I think we are trying to beat a dead horse here. This is not helpful.
We've ditched "magical dependency injection frameworks" for manual injections in constructors and the net result is that development is actually faster. Yes, you write slightly more code, but at the same time, it's much easier to figure out what's going on. Before, if something went wrong, we would get some arcane errors from deep inside the DI framework and had to decypher what it means and what changes we need to apply to the configs. Now, it's just regular code (great with refactorings and greppability, too).
Note it's "not divisible by three". n = 3 is the only exception.
> I’m curious how well Asahi linux works with standby on a Apple Silicon Mac.

I’ve not tried it long but from my short experience, it works well.

Btw, Asahi is actually really easy to install if you are curious. Everything is done/installed from macOS including shrinking your macOS partition. And uninstalling it is as simple as removing the partition from Disk Manager and growing back your macOS partition.

All you need is some disk space and, one command line to copy paste and about 20 minutes.

And it works really well overall. It have everything to be a daily driver (including graphics acceleration) except external display support and TouchID. But both of those issues are being worked on.
Definitely Snow Crash was challenging and shows its age. Some of his older books have similar bizarro vibes, I could not get into The Diamond Age the first try.

Seveneves was much more accessible, as was The Rise and Fall of DODO, and the Baroque Cycle. Fall or Dodge in Hell is a bit more challenging but for different reasons than his early works, the subject matter is just more abstract.

No doubt they are all meandering and longwinded, the newer ones perhaps more so, but that’s Stephenson, it can be a strength and a weakness.
> the Vue team don’t really care about developer experience

This is how you stir up drama instead of constructive discussions. Clearly the team do care quite a lot about developer experience, but they might have different ideals and goals than you do. So lets discuss those differences as adults.
Which are those laptops that have the proper S3 sleep support?
And apt/dnf/pacman finish major system updates in seconds on that sort of hardware, so Windows still underperforms by orders of magnitude.
Their aim with S0ix is relatable and can somewhat be compared to Apples move to force USB-C on everyone - which is great and a necessity to be done by a market leader.

So, wait for the EU to mandate companies use the same standard? Even then, there were rumors that Apple was going to cripple non-Apple brand chargers.
that's a great point. i'm making my alternative https://rawl.rocks/ which does exactly that: a relative color-coding, starting from the tonic

aside from that, I make a library of structures used in Western music (in the header). I've started saving structures a week ago, so there isn't much content right now

the main emergent property of my system is visibility of structures. chords, chord progressions, parallel / relative modulation symmetries suddenly make sense and are viscerally perceivable

and I hope my visualizations are directly useful in a context of speaking about music theory to people without sheet music experience (or, dare I say, without 10 years of such experience)

my thing is open source: https://github.com/vpavlenko/rawl
Thing is.... My gigantic desktop computer has thermal cutoffs, it will shut down if the CPU gets too hot. I remember desktop PCs having that for ages. I've had overheating laptops do the same. Are laptop manufacturers just getting lazy and skimping on failsafe hardware temperature cut-offs!?? Like, as a hardware manufacturer I would always add that factor-of-5 "the software side WILL fuck up" safety measures. How is the HARDWARE allowing software to let it melt itself in this day and age!?
Yup, I'm using S3 even with windows just to save battery and not have laptop in "drained and hot" state when it is suddenly needed. F--k microsoft.

In lenovo x1 they call it "Linux sleep" in bios settings.
I blame react with their stupid hooks that are supposed to be algebraic effects. It all went downhill from there.
> They have their own solutions, and activists often force things like recycling at all costs, even though it means shipping it across the world on polluting boats and having some other country dump it in their rivers.

That's a side effect of (way too) lax regulations and the externalities of disposing of plastics not being paid for!

Germany and a few other EU countries for example force any introducer of "recyclable" packaging to pay into a system to fund recycling stream collection, sorting and disposals ("Grüner Punkt" [1]). Yes, it's not perfect, way too much of our plastics waste still is exported to poor countries, but the ban on that is already law that will come into force in a few years [2].

I wouldn‘t call the always–on feature stupid but deliberate. The purpose of modern Windows being an ad surface and capture device for learning everything the user knows from user interaction. Switching off Windows Updates, even on Windows Pro and Windows 10, is practically impossible, short of isolating it from net access.
Oh, come on. S0ix is fine. If we don't want things to happen during this kind of sleep, we should arrange at the OS level for them not to happen. Nothing about the underlying mechanism forces your OS, at a policy level, to go download cat pictures and software updates while your machine is asleep.

This post reminds me of the people who complained about the transition from APM to ACPI. Despite much wailing and gnashing of teeth about "Why can't my laptop just support nice simple APM? Why do I bother with ACPI?", ACPI won, and we're all better off for it.
> It's not unusual for my laptop to have hundreds of days of uptime.

This isn’t something to be proud of. It means that you’re not applying the regularly-released security updates.

macOS is spectacularly good at restoring state on reboot. It’s like it never happened.

Update your software.
> “In practice they are very efficient. They solve industrial-scale problems all the time,” sometimes with tens of thousands of variables.

Although the number of variables or constraints is not a good measure of the hardness of an ILP, "tens of thousands" is not that unusual. During my PhD, I often solved programs with millions of variables and constraints. These programs were so large that even "building" them in the solver library took several seconds. Impressively, gurobi was often able to optimize them in under 24 hours. I have two results here where gurobi solved 1M * 8M problems to optimality in under 2 hours. That was several years ago, so I expect newer versions to be even faster. Even for larger problems (around 5M * 50M) it often found provably near-optimal solutions (within 5% of optimality) very fast. gurobi is really an impressive piece of software, and free for academic use.
I love how Flash like tooling is making its comeback.
Well, (a) sensible, but (b) why does the World Bank have ads in the first place?
>This article is shit. An average 7th grader can write better.

The article has one original observation: the faulty metric for comparing US+UK AI startups to German AI startups.
The rest seem like paragraphs fully recycled from other articles (background on east Germany, Germany's network of small companies, etc). This article should have been a tweet.
I struggled to get through the top half of this post, which is about various Thinkpad model types that the author had. But the second part, where the author explains the various sleep modes and what it means, was very informative & worth a read!

I've personally always solved this problem by enabling "Hibernate" (not sure if that's a Windows-specific term) which writes the entire RAM contents to a file and then shuts down completely. The downside is that it takes a few seconds to boot (impressively few seconds on a modern machine, actually), but still, the laptop doesn't come on instantly. But I like knowing that there's no chance the laptop somehow turns on and overheats/drains in the backpack, because it's completely off.

This doesn't take away from the author's rant at all, the idea that a sleep mode would need to support notifications or updates (!) is absurd. A good sleep mode would need to only support "minimum power usage" and "fast wake-up" and nothing else. But with MS's usual mix of excellence and absurd stupidity, that appears to not exist, and "hibernate" is to me an acceptable compromise. My understanding is that Macbooks have gotten this right for decades already, pretty nuts that PCs lag behind so much.
Or maybe I just want my local email cache to be reasonably up-to-date when I take my laptop out of my backpack. Why is that such a bad thing?
i appreciate the additional information! are they funny in romanian?
My solution to this was to setup my laptop to boot in less than ten seconds. I could generally go from shut down to logged in with Obsidian, Firefox, and Anki open in about 30 seconds.
And now the homebrewers ruin appliances too with low quality IoT garbage.
russia has massive natural resources. No, to rephrase it - absolutely MASSIVE resources, even on stuff west desperately need for advanced tech like aerospace. Even if they have to sell it under the price, they can be ineffective with mining and still keep finding it all over their massive country.

Plus they switched to war economy last year showing some long term dedication to fuhrer's plan to conquer as much of Europe as possible - remember what happened to US economy during WWII?
In my case, my computers will end up on that screen in two cases.

The first is my desktop, without a TPM, which will ask for a BitLocker password. In this case, if I'm not fast enough, it will shut down the computer.

The second is my work laptop, which I usually expect to reboot or otherwise am around when it ends up there, in which case I'll usually type in the PIN quickly enough. However, I expect it to have a similar behavior as the first case, although I haven't tried.

But the reason I know this happens, is that I once left this PC attached to my 32" screen next to my bed, and it woke me up at night. I just went and forcibly shut off the thing.
> I constantly forget where I need to put `.value` after a variable name to extract its... value.

You are supposed to used fancy ide that everyone uses and typescript do yell at you if use guess wrong.
I know who the culprits are, Activity Monitor shows it in the Energy tab.

But since it's sporadic, I sometimes forget to look into Activity Monitor if I'm in a rush, and for fucks sake this is not a problem that should exist in the first place.

I mean, yes, I've had more issues back when I still used Windows, but my Apple gear costs thousands of dollars, I expect better quality.

I expect that if the system knows that my intent will not be successful (because some application locks suspend) that the option is either not available/greyed out or that I at least get a goddamn prompt "XYZ is locking suspend. <Abort attempt/Force suspend>".

As for Electron, yes, Teams is cursed in that regard (as it is in locking the dGPU), but for me it's usually Parallels, closely followed by IntelliJ that randomly messes up suspend. Neither of them are Electron.
Under the rule-of-law, after such a ruling, you can sue the state for damages. If you can show damages you will be made whole, i.e. indemnified.

I, for one, am looking forward to companies showing how and how much they were damaged by the ban of non-compete clauses in working contracts. Should be some interesting numbers.
That's nice ! Learned a few things today, it's more effective than hitting "random article" on wikipedia.
It would be nice if you could add an icon to the site, so I could find it more easily in my bookmark toolbar.
AS Macs sleep fantastically. Much snappier to come out of sleep, too.
I got a Yoga Pro 7 in the mail, I really hope Linux sleep is still around.
The steam deck? Mine is terrible at this, I have to shut it down cause otherwise it just dies. Battery holds up just fine when playing games though.
The fact that it tells you if individual letters are right or wrong makes it much easier.
Good for you. But I don't want that.

At the moment, the user cannot choose, but is forced to be always "on".
I'll keep a close eye on this, looks amazing so far.
I've been a React boi since day 1, was happy to leave v1 Angular behind back then. Since then, I've played with them all, and have had a couple professional experiences with Vue, one very recent:

It is not close to React in terms of maturity, which is for me the largest issue with it, especially around TypeScript, Storybook and bugs. In my 10 years of React I have not encountered a single bug in it (not saying there weren't any, I just wasn't affected). In my month of Vue I had one blocking tooling bug and one ripping-my-hair-out-for-a-few-hours core bug. On the upside, a Vue contributor had a video call with me on the former and Evan himself fixed the latter within a day or two

Docs are mostly good, but React wins here too. What React Docs do really well, and what might be under-appreciated, is talking about trade-offs and pitfalls. Vue could use some of that, especially since it promotes mutability as its most idiomatic path, which can have subtle side-effects one should be mindful of. And I would bet many people, coming from more immutable frameworks, fall head-first into these pitfalls.

Vue, like Svelte, is (since v3 afaik) all-in on SFC (Single File Components). I personally dislike the singular focus on this style of component-ing. I like having multiple components per-file, doing higher-order component-ing (e.g. having a record of components) and having other exports from the same file. Sure, one could probably work around these by adding more files, but I don't like it when frameworks incentivize spraying files. I also have that critique with Next.js, though I find the bundler-boundary trade-off argument more convincing there.
I do like the ease of co-located styles though!

An interesting nut that I'm trying to crack is how I feel about Vue's model-binding. Binding a state variable directly to a component, without separately specifying the getter & setter like in React, does make for more concise code. But then there is the aforementioned pitfall of this leading to mutation and possible spooky actions at a distance.

So my summary is: Some interesting differences to React, but overall not worth the divergence and community energy splitting. I think the things React is innovating on are still the most interesting ones in the view-library ecosystem. That said, I found the Vue contributors to be very nice people to interact with.
That's what immediately caught my eye, too.
This is hearsay, but I remember reading complaints about S0ix and sleep (or lack thereof) in Framework laptops, which is the reason I didn't buy one.
i have debloated my windows 10 system. i only use it for gaming and some work stuff. there is youtuber named chris titus tech who explains in detail how to have a debloated windows and also how to debload the graphics card.
Yes. If you use Org-mode or Markdown-mode in GUI Emacs, I believe this works by default in the development version (since “yank-media” was introduced). If you use other versions of Emacs, or just want more control over where the files go and how they are linked, you can use this package:
https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download

I don’t think the TUI supports drag-and-drop, but you can still copy-and-paste using org-download (bound to a separate keybinding). Unfortunately, last I checked the built-in yank-media function doesn’t work in the TUI, although I don’t see a technical reason why it couldn’t be implemented.
I'd say 1/3rd is a rather large chunk of an SSDs TBW if its just for hibernating. In practice, for reasons you outlined, it would be a smaller amount but I would only find 1-2% tolerable.
A few were work laptops, so they came with the suite of poorly-written corporate spyware agents which I suspect was the culprit.

On my personal laptops the cause could be all the accumulated junk I installed. Apple's refusal to support legacy software may help out since it seems the old software doesn't want to run on new hardware.
Same issues on 2015 13" and 2019 pro 16". Having it overheating in my backpack is quite common.
I am completely fed up with OEM presumption that broken Windows shall forevermore be what computers come preinstalled with.

Windows has been broken since XP and linux desktop has been usable for decades now.

I refuse to buy more computers preloaded with windows or built with ANY consideration of what incompetent Microsoft want.

Why do we accept being spat upon and treated like basement bums when we put our money on the table???
Oh, I parsed that as "(is not ((divisible by three) or (is equal to three)))" and didn't think further.
