I think maybe we're talking past each other. What I'm saying what people "want" is a reflection of the overwhelming choices they make. They're choosing the curated environments.

The "problem" that is being referenced is the curation. The claim is that the curation is a problem; my observation is that it is the solution all the parties involved seem to want, because they could, at any time, choose otherwise.

Yeah it was only available on AT&T and you couldn't even send pictures (MMS). Hindsight is 20/20 - the people in this thread are overly glamorizing Apple and smartphones in general now because it's easy after something was already successful (the number of influencers on this post is vomit-inducing). In reality smartphones were a tough sell at first, people didn't like the touchscreen at first, it took a ton of marketing push to get people used to them that took years. I was 21 years old when iPhone came out and remember it perfectly clear - also just google sales data. iPhone was selling single digit millions in the first years, nowhere near the 100+ million Razrs sold, or the amount Nokia or RIM were selling.

To answer the post's questions:

1. The tiny "Mac Pro" is a scaled-down mock up of the Power Macintosh G5, which was the Mac Pro of it's time. There's a video of Jobs showing it off somewhere. Or maybe it was in the Isaacson book and my memory is too vivid. Anyway, it's not a computer, let alone a functional one.

2. The "UPS" is an older Genelec audio speaker. One cable is for AC power and the other cable is for audio. It has the Genelec logo on the back. There are other photos of Jobs' office from the other side that show it's clearly a speaker. And there's another speaker on the other side of his monitor, close to the wall.

3. On the bookshelf are various tinctures and aromatherapy bottles. This has been mentioned somewhere -- probably the Isaacson book, again. Jobs was really into homeopathic medicine.

4. Bonus answer: The little cylinder mounted at the top of Jobs' monitor is an iSight camera, which was ahead of it's time. It had really good video quality and plugged into the Firewire port on the Mac. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISight

> More often than not that's what people mean when they're saying that politicians have given up on fighting Covid.

I know a lot of people in public health and disability spaces, and every person I know that talks about the failure of public health around the covid pandemic is referring to the dismantling of surveillance (e.g., testing), the lack of investment in next generation vaccines and treatments, the failure to upgrade ventilation and filtration, and removing mask mandates in targeted places (like emergency rooms). I haven't heard anybody in the US discuss lockdowns in years. I haven't even heard people talk about broad (i.e., outside healthcare) mask mandates in over a year. You need to get "mitigations = lockdowns" out of your head, that's not what people are "implying" when they discuss fighting covid.

The device on the left is a studio monitor (speaker), probably there's a near-identical one on the left side of his display.

The other one I'd think is a scale model of a Power Mac G5. It matches the general layout but it's too small to be a real one. It's also not connected to anything, and I think it's being used as a bookstand.

A lot of mobile apps use TLS connections when communicating with their backends.

You can MITM the traffic, and continue to deliver the traffic using a self signed certificate that you’ve trusted on your mobile device, and boom, you can capture the traffic at your proxy point and be happy.

A lot of mobile apps use certificate pinning to ensure that the backend certificate matches what the app expects. Now your self signed certificate, even though it’s trusted at the OS level, no longer matches the certificate that the app is expecting, and no data is exchanged after TLS handshake fails.

Almost feels like a fallacy of Julia at this point, on the one hand Julia really needs a stable, high-performance AD-engine, but on the other hand it seems to be fairly easy to get a minimal AD-package off the ground.

And so the perennial cycle continues and another Julia AD-package emerges, and ignores all/most previous work in order to claim novelty.

Without a claim for a complete list: ReverseDiff.jl, ForwardDiff.jl, Zygote.jl, Enzyme.jl, Tangent.jl, Diffractor.jl, and many more whose name has disappeared in the short history of Julia...

It is forbidden for military to military communication, but openly used a lot for information from authorities to the public.

> 300MM into 1.4B is ~21% of total population dead in 50 years

This is old age we're talking about. All of those three hundred million people are going to die anyway over that time period.

> much worse than any wars I can think of

The Taiping rebellion killed somewhere between 20 and 30 million people, approximately 5-10% of the population of China at the time. See if you can spot it on this graph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_history_of_China - it's lost somewhere in the steep vertical climb on the right.

For a part of that period of dramatic population growth, China famously had a (badly enforced) one child policy.

(also, I guarantee you that there's some maniac in the Chinese ministry of defence looking at a prediction of deaths in a nuclear exchange with the United States that runs into the hundreds of millions, and declaring it winnable. There certainly were on both sides of the US-Russia Cold War, fortunately ignored all the time)
Brilliant inversion. Because software can be used without consuming it we presume there is some utility in new software distinct from prior software otherwise it would come with information explaining it was purely a "creative act" as the article puts it.

I wouldn't create a new office suite for the joy of creation then offer it along side ms word or google docs. I might make one then put it in a portfolio as a showcase of skill or do it to learn some skill. But having two word processors is useless in a way that having 2 of a consumable good is not.
Didn't claim that at all, and have used iPhone for years.
I think it would be more useful to list concrete bugs/complaints that the Julia devs could address. Blanket/vague claims like "Julia for deep learning [...] so buggy" is unfalsifiable and un-addressable. It promotes gossip with tribal dynamics rather than helping ecosystems improve and helping people pick the right tools for their needs. This is even more so with pile-on second hand claims (though the above comment might be first-hand, but potentially out-of-date).

Also, it's now pretty easy to call Python from Julia (and vice versa) [1]. I haven't used it for deep learning, but I've been using it to implement my algorithms in Julia while making use of Jax-based libraries from Python so it's certainly quite smooth and ergonomic.

That's a robot's take. You can have days where you slept poorly or need a nap to get back on track or just lack motivation.

Personally I try to take on tasks that don't require as much brainpower. If I'm really too tired I'll just take a nap, because it's better to take a 20 minute nap and do work for the rest of the afternoon than feeling terrible and doing hardly anything for a whole afternoon.
Most of the time I've just had a completely sleepless night; I normally just muddle through with a lot of coffee. I've tried taking a sick day for this sort of thing, but I found that puttering around at home just threw me off even further.

Ever since my divorce I feel like I'm just going through the motions, work, sleep, socialize. Without a home life it just feels empty, but what decent woman would want someone like me with my baggage? Even if I found someone, which seems impossible these days, with no-fault-divorce why would it be any different this time around?
Ahh, the siren song of Lisp

I wrote Lisp (Clojure) professionally for several years. It was the most fun I ever had.

My only problem was it was an ongoing battle to convince people - especially management - that I wasn't crazy.

Sure, I was crazy-productive, but they also thought that there was some nutjob in the corner that was quietly adding risk to the business.

If someone could give me the ergonomics of Clojure, but without the JVM and the ability to easily target 1/ native (incl easy bidirectional C iterop), 2/ wasm, and 3/ support both in aot and runtime + JIT modes, I would switch in a heartbeat.

Is that too much to ask?

When you say peer reviews, do you mean academic publications or testimonials? I imagine it would be difficult to publish a paper at an academic conference proposing an alternative syntax for anything, even if it were better.
This is some serious mental gymnastics, dude.

"It wasn't a big thing" - how do you know? You do not. A group of people ask for a place at the table and you and your ilk question their legitimacy as human beings - that's what you're doing. People are saying "I feel this way, I am this way, I see others who feel like me and and feel empowered to come forward and live as the person I feel I am"

And your response is 'it's a phase' - like their identity is a fidget spinner. Nothing is being lost or endangered by making trans people feel welcome and valid and allowing them to pursue treatments that make them happier.

The topic is not taboo. What's taboo is invalidating the lives and existence of other human beings just finding a voice and a place in the world and figuring it out. After all if it's a phase, or a social contagion, it'll blow by and you can relax - but the amount of effort going in to making these people feel scrutinized and unwelcome doesn't seem like that's the point at all.

I don't consider it an extended Lisp, rather I just consider it a "batteries included", bundled library distribution of Lisp.

Common Lisp is still Common Lisp.

And I know it's a slippery slope.

Someone posted (here?) a list of the language changes to Java over the years.

And for something like Java, you "have" to "change the language" to get the results they wanted. Much of these changes could not have been done with just more classes in the JRE distributions. Whereas with CL, most of those things could have been done natively with just macros and functions, rather than having to update the core.

Of course, this is the Scheme story from day one, just with a much smaller core. But CL, due to the happenstance of the time of uniting several commercial efforts under one banner, has a larger core, but also, by definition, more opportunity for the actual compiler to be "better" with the higher level constructs it works with.

Contrived example being that Lisp "knows" about Structs and CLOS, whereas while you can add Structs (records) to Scheme, at a Scheme level you can only reduce them to the given Scheme primitives (vectors or lists), when the compiler finally sees the result, all it will see is a vector or list, with no knowledge of it actually being a struct (and thus can't potentially optimized for it).

If you want "native" structs, you need to actually extend the particular Scheme compiler.

So, anyway, the point being this is a nice package of libraries (it is, really, quite nice), all bundled into a single image. Batteries included.

But it's still CL at its core, there's nothing necessarily new there.
If I read the legislation correctly, states are required to check the relevant federal databases to validate status of non-citizens (if you provide a document attesting citizenship, that check needn't be performed), and the social security numbers of anyone providing it.

I don't know if the immigration status checks are tracked, but the social security number checks are, as part of the check is to verify no cross-state usage of the same number for different identities.

Instead of rendering the game stand alone or P2P I would not mind a middle ground provided it was not done in a passive-aggressive manor. One possibility would be putting all the server code into a Github repo and inviting active developer members of that gaming community to start supporting it a year or two prior to the official decommission of the corporate servers. Then the community could stand up their own self hosted servers. The game client developers could also be a part of that to really keep the game alive and evolving not to mention it would look good on their CV should the company downsize further. The client could also be adapted ahead of time to let people choose between staying on the corporate servers until the end, or beta-testing the public servers. I assume licensing would have to change to accommodate this. The corporate servers should provide a way for people to export all of their character and account data to be imported into the community servers by the player in the event they wish to run their own servers. This should lead to a big modding community, at the risk of all the characters becoming over-powered.
