I want that for my mom on her macbook pro. had an ipad, prefers laptop form factor.

What I'd like is upon setup it asks if this is a dev machine, and change the preferences.
It's been awhile since I've done a clean install, and my MacBook feels a little crusty/bloated with stuff so I think it's about time. What's the recommended process these days for a direct clean install?

If I factory reset my MacBook Pro M1 it'll go back to Ventura, then I have to manually upgrade to Sequoia.

I asked ChatGPT and it suggested I create a bootable USB drive install media for Sequoia instead (after downloading Sequoia from the app store):

`sudo /Applications/Install\ macOS\ Sequoia.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia --volume /Volumes/MyVolume`

That seems a cleaner and more direct solution. Can anyone verify this works without issues? (I'll probably do this over the weekend)
To me these are clear security improvements; things are not getting worse. And there is absolutely no reason to think they'll be dropping support for endusers running their own compiled software.
Also, let's not fool ourselves. I'm not sure even most technical people running macOS or Linux would know if they had malware running. I probably wouldn't. It's not like antivirus is commonplace on those platforms.

The notion that you can reasonably have knowledge of and control over all the software that is actually running on your machine has not been realistic for decades.
You can no longer disable system integrity protection.

I have always believed that sharpiegate was the result of Trump being told the Bahamas would be hit by the hurricane (they were), him misunderstanding it as Alabama and later being incapable of admitting his mistake.
There are plenty of high paying companies that aren't FAANG and aren't in the bay area. I work at one. A small software company owned by a huge non-tech megacorp. Zero people have left my dev team in the past 4 years.
Yeah. At many places, team size (and eventually, number of teams you manage through other managers) is codified in manager role descriptions.
I consider you wrong since an alliance presupposes a unity of interest whereas the interest of a worker (get more money, work less or maybe more nuanced: have as much control over own work as possible, have as much exposure to fruits of work as possible) is directly opposed to that of what you call the "company" or, really, the owners of the company (compel the worker to produce as much as possible, and pay as low a wage as possible to extract as much profit as possible).

Brushing this dynamic under the rug by conceptualizing it as a mutual agreement of "I will work for you for this wage" is at best glib, even if we ignore the elephant in the room that the worker doesn't choose to work since unfortunately we all need to buy food and a place to live, doesn't choose his wage since the entire labor market is practically the same and not in his power to influence nor shop for an alternative (we don't live in a text book where people can make purely rational economic choices since are born to a context and we live in places and have access to a given pool of resources etc) and lets not even glance at the lack of political alternative to this economic arrangement in this historical flash of time.
I was an intern at Amazon in Seattle in 2018 and full-time from 2019-2021. Coffee was definitely free back then although someone had to brew it for the office.

I did it pretty often as it was a nice thing to do and a good way of meeting people who were waiting for the coffee.
Ah, not so bad then. Still a bit worse than where I'm at, though.

For me, 4 weeks is too good to lose. I'd go to Amazon only if I can't find another company to give me at least as much immediately.
I though his point was fairly clear. When Microsoft tries to charge non-AI companies at or above cost for generative AI products basically no one takes the deal. OpenAI and Anthropic have a lot of revenue but:

> Based on how unprofitable they are, I hypothesize that if OpenAI or Anthropic charged prices closer to their actual costs, there would be a ten-to-a-hundred-times increase in the price of API calls, though it's impossible to say how much without the actual numbers.

Lots of revenue is flowing into generative AI but would that trend continue if they started needing to actually cover costs? And how much of that revenue is from AI companies that would pop right alongside them?
Yeah, is there a PostgreSQL deployment that does 60m qps?
Ages ago, before even dumb terminals, we were programming on punched cards, batch compiling, and printing on a line printer. For some reason, this printer supported control G (the bell character) with a buzzer. So someone hacked the compiler to include control G in the beginning of the error messages.

So we could sit back and listen to the line printer. If the buzzer sounded, the programmer would say "Oh &#$!@". Just like Pavlov demonstrated.

Either it's fixed, or not a problem in both Safari and Arc on MacOS
Extreme example, but I saw a video of a "homeless" family in Japan that lived on a flood plain. They lived there because it was the only free spot.
Yes, and then the market has an inevitable upswing and they’ve tarnished their reputations as highly desirable employers.

Coming out of this layoff wave my impression is Microsoft and Meta are static on employer desirability, Amazon slightly less desirable, and Google is now IBM 2.0.
The most exciting part of a jobs keynote was guessing what was coming next, and if it was a hardware demo, if it would work or not, and if not, how would jobs react
for people with acid reflux / GERD / heartburn at least, the "sleep on your left side" thing has to do with the layout of the esophagus. For whatever reason, sleeping on your left means that gravity helps work to prevent acid reflux, whereas the opposite is true for the right side. Not sure if there's any benefit other than that

> How petty are the tyrants.

Having to work in an office for $300k/year is an incredibly privileged position. There are so many people that have it much, much worse, and calling it tyranny is so out of touch it's a bit distasteful. I'm not disagreeing with the points that you probably can get your work done remotely or that companies should respect their employees, but tone it down a few notches. And the organ transplant thing should be a conversation about social security and health benefits in general, it's not really a remote work issue.
Not require a third-party kernel extension.

Apple is generally much better at development in their kernel, and more judicious about keeping it functional, than other developers.
Yeah this kind of thing definitely happened all the time at big corporations 30+ years ago as well and it comes from traditional engineering projects where changes later on in the process are very very expensive.
WFH would have worked before Covid as well. Covid just forced the hands of most companies. So no, there hasn't been some breakthrough that has made WFH possible within recent years.

> we can't even imagine going in to work 5 days a week now

For a lot of people, yes. The reason why there is so much outrage around RTO mandates is because:

1) WFH offered a massive quality of life improvement

2) There is essentially no evidence that in office workers are more productive (or vice-versa)

When executive teams, (many of whom work remotely themselves, as often as they'd like), try to reverse the quality of life advancement that WFH offers, without an evidence backed reason for doing so, workers get angry.

It's the equivalent of a parent saying "because I said so". Except these aren't children that Jassy and others are speaking to.
It really is interesting that we generally don't utilize sound as much in development as our other senses. One reason many of us don't might be that we listen to music as a way to focus while coding?

Sort of related, but I was monkeying around on MonkeyType the other day and turned on the 'pentatonic scale' key sound effect... and it seems to help me be more consistent with my typing? It's quite interesting and rather unexpected. (If anyone knows how I could recreate that sound effect globally, I'd appreciate it!)
I'm not an expert on European law, but the requirements listed here for a CE mark indicate that the EMA reviews the safety and performance of the device and audits the manufacturer's quality systems, similar to the FDA:
https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/human-regulatory-overview/medic...

CE marks for other categories may well be self-certified.

I suppose I could have been a bit more precise in my terminology, and said the EMA (who gives the CE mark) is the equivalent of the FDA in Europe.
The Biden administration's approach to energy is mostly an "all of the above" approach. Expand oil and natural gas, expand solar and wind, promote more efficient cars and appliances, encourage EVs, etc.

The Trump approach is to expand oil, gas, and coal and hostility to wind, solar, and efficient cars and appliances.
Not a communist, but Marx called this "alienation", when your labor and the goods / services you produce have less to do with your own life.

It's a bad thing, but I think it's a tradeoff we've had to make for a more efficient economy. Some people want to grow their own food but I'm happy with mechanized farming and big-ass tractors doing it for me while I sit in air conditioning.
dev machines are their bread and butter though! if they were going to have done this and merge iOS and macOS, I think they'd (stupidly) have done so.
Ah, but what about the tracking for ad targeting?

That tweet viewed by a million people isn't just a million tweet database reads, it's also a million tracking database writes.
Both Amazon and Google are in their post-founder CEO phases. Microsoft went through the Balmer phase and found footing with Satya Nadella. Balmer probably set the stage for Nadella to succeed but sometimes changing the face is enough to reset culture a bit. Right now, Jassy and Pichai will never be seen in the same light as Bezos or Page & Brin. It might take another CEO at both Amazon and Google to unlock potential.
If I dont go to work I starve. If I organise with my colleagues for a more favourable contract I will be removed by security guards. If we protest this we will be arrested by police. Are you able to only recognise force the moment blood is being spilled?

So many idea's on how to make something similar!
The only advantage I know of for the natural way is you can retain more muscle mass potentially[0], so your relative body composition is probably better than someone who lost 75 pounds with Ozempic (eg. Ozempic Face).

[0-1] Especially if you: Try to consume about 1 gram of protein per day per gram of lean mass, lift weights, limit cardio intensity and duration (30 mins on stationary bike 3x a week worked for me)
The old OS will generally get most security updates for two years, but that is not a written policy or rule, and Apple has not patched CVEs on older OSes in the past that were well within the N-2 assumption.

Most of the time they do, but depending on the data you work with and the risk you can accept, that might not be an acceptable policy.
It got me too - rotating to landscape helped.
> How many unsigned apps are you downloading and running?

For me, quite a few? Internal tools at work, open source projects which publish builds on their github, that sort of stuff.

(And no, paying Apple a yearly subscription for the privilege of letting users run an app is not a reasonable expectation of small open source projects)
You've got the basic sketch right here. Better focus than the competition is indeed an advantage. Working hard to focus in an office environment - noise cancelling headphones, people walking around, suboptimal coffee and so forth - is however not better than carefully setting up a home office. It's not a remotely safe bet that the people working from home are being lazy.
I think a PS6 needs to play PS5 games, or Sony will have a hard time selling them until the PS6 catalog is big; and they'll have a hard time getting 3rd party developers if they're going to have a hard time with console sales. I don't think you're going to play existing PS5 games on an ARM CPU unless it's an "amazing" core. Apple does pretty good at running x86 code on their CPUs, but they added special modes to make it work, and I don't know how timing sensitive PS5 games are --- when there's only a handful of hardware variants, you can easily end up with tricky timing requirements.
Sure. I have scripts to build my unity game on several platforms, the last is Android which then installs on my phone. It plays Ocarina of Time sound effects upon success or failure, since it can take several minutes, or randomly fail before then. In both cases it's nice to hear immediately that I should do something.
The Earth is a multi-physics complex system and OP claiming to "Simulate the Earth" is misleading. Methods that work on the atmosphere may not work on other parts. There are numerous scientific projects working on simulation earthquakes, both using ML and more "traditional" physics.

More like $98k/year on average
Does this have anything to do with the original Pragmatic Programmer book or the https://pragprog.com/ publishing company?

If not I think the name should be reconsidered. It's a distraction from the content of the book itself if it's not actually related to that other text.
> list the number of states with “A” in the name

Is that really a good example of LLM capabilities? LLMs don't even see those letters because of tokenization.

It's a bit like asking a Chinese speaker questions about imaginary Latin alphabet letters in Han characters. Sure, it demonstrates a limitation, but it's a bit of an edge case.

Some people need the money. I left my $160k/yr job in 2018 because I got a divorce and the alimony payments were going to slowly make me homeless. One of the first places I looked was Amazon. Fortunately I found something better and ended up tripling my salary. Many non-valley/low-stress jobs just don't pay the same as crap jobs like Amazon.
It reminds me of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residue_number_system , it was actually used in a Russian computer system called "Duga" ("Curve") that needed fast multiplications.

It's still used for some niche purposes.
Each book is internally consistent but across the books it is not. So maybe not the best example.
If you need to refer to a system where those at the top don't give their reports adequate leeway to get results but instead choose to make all-encompassing proclamations about how the entire hierarchy must behave, then "tyranny" isn't so bad a word.

Money is just violence that got too old to carry a sword anymore, so the threat if violence and the threat of termination are pretty well linked. It's only different in that once the money runs out the violence will come from elsewhere.
The same sound on success or failure?
> From my experience though WFH just doesn’t work. People aren’t as invested in the company and they produce worse results.

What a terrible take. I've been remote for 7 consecutive years at a couple of companies and I was always invested in their produce. You know why? Cause they gave me RSUs so I actually cared about the value of the stock. Nothing to do with being remote or not.

Lol calm down its only for apps which failed to upgrade to their new window selector API.

Untapped potential: Far too little freight on US waterways
Is this similar to what Sidney Dekker says in Drift Into Failure. That any "root cause" is more likely a narrative tool than a reflection of objective reality in a sufficiently complex system.
4 weeks after 6 years seems absurdly bad to me. The last job I had with fixed PTO had unlimited sick time plus 20 days per year of vacation starting (pro-rated) on your first day, and most places I’ve worked in the last decade have had “unlimited” PTO, which typically works out to around 6 weeks of vacation time plus unlimited sick time.
Here's the Royce paper. Check out page three.

Nope. Failure is the minigame gong failure. Success is one of the jingles of success, with five tones that each increase in pitch.
> no way we scale our compute that much in 70 years

Huh? Ask someone in 1950 if we would ever achieve petaflops on a desktop-sized PC. Yet here we are with H100's. About 10 decimal orders of magnitude faster than the state of the art in 1950.

Quantum computing will also happen, and I think 70 years is more than a realistic time frame.
Backup plan? You are missing the point. If you need a backup you already messed up. The only entities that should need backups of anything but treasured photos are businesses.

If you don't bank on the assumption that you will always have access to some random mail account and instead treat it like a discardable glove, you don't need a backup plan.

Lost access to your mail account and forgot your PW to to some random other account? Whatever. Make a new account, tell your friends. Happens all the time.
As a happy user of Safari, I'd be happy if a lot of web developers just stopped trying to turn my web browser into a buggy, bloated JS House of Cards "operating system" for their crappy SPAs.

While layoffs can be pretty horrible, getting a severance package (or even just a "severance package" in the style of not being allowed back to work during the WARN Act period), can be a pretty good deal and/or vacation that you've needed.
I just fundamentally disagree with your first sentence. So I guess that’s where the difference is.
Hey, also ACE score of 6 (apparently).

It's been a struggle, and I really should have gotten diagnosed with ADHD decades ago rather than years ago. I regret those that I've hurt (especially those that I love) and the times I was my own barrier to success or happiness.

I'm lucky to have a wonderful partner and manager at this stage in my life, and I've put a bunch of work into myself. It's been slow, but more and more of it seems to be "sticky", and that's incredibly encouraging.

Overall, satisfied with my life, especially in context of the world at large or relative to those with a similar background (makes me realize in some ways I'm pretty darn lucky after all).

Still, I feel the need to earn it. I don't feel like I deserve the nice things I do have, and I have a lot of anxiety of it going away. Therapy is currently helping me guide that and allow me to focus on the parts I can control while giving me the serenity to accept that there are things inherently uncontrollable, or even influencable.

Only thing I'd have to say is: never give up trying to get better. You're stuck with yourself for your entire life, one way or another. You owe it to your future, present, and past self to get better, and you owe it to those rays of sunshine that are the people you love or have given kindness, also past present, and future. You can't change the past, so don't dwell on it. Just try to do what you reasonably can. You've survived this long, which shows you're capable of endurance and survival at minimum. Have faith you can keep that, and use that as a rock to build a better life and a better (at least, local) world upon.
the permission for screen access is only for apps that failed to start using the new API where the OS lets the user select a window/screen they want to share.

> I have no idea why anyone gives credence to Gruber after his history of “incredible to the point of incredulity” pro-Apple bias over the years.

Once upon a time he made a variant of textile and restructuredtext, with a lot of help from Aaron Swartz. Turns out it's a really good invention. But everything else is just mindlessly pro Apple bloviating to the point of self parody. He's probably one of a few hundred who bought the iPod hifi

Nokia decided to use the LGPL and the KDE Free Qt agreement was then updated to specify LGPL.
Bug fixes are technically improvements but I think the language is clearly referring to totally new features. Bug fixes refer specifically to unexpected errors within the existing design. Not a redesign or substantial improvement.

I have never had a Qt license but if you want to link a private application statically or get support, you have to have one.
300k a year is what they get paid for making the company 3-4x as much, if not even more. If they can generate that value remotely, then being forced to waste another 1-2 hours of your life every day to go to the office should be worth even more pay.

Mithril longswords should be priced like PC games? I don't follow.

In a normal game you'd kill orcs, pick up some stuff from each dead orc, sell the stuff to a merchant, and buy stuff you want from a different merchant. You're suggesting that should be illegal, so you should have to just... already start with all the equipment you'd ever want?
Remote work is not that common still. All the return to office mandates should make that clear…

The Bay Area still is attracting tens of thousands of immigrants from across the world every year. I have not seen any big difference in population within the bay for tech workers. If I saw any big migration - it was that all the single men have been trying to get to NYC. There is a massive amount of single men in SF that are trying to get to the NYC offices for nearly every big tech company right now. Everyone finally got sick and tired of how hard it is to meet women in SF. The ratio is obscene. (33-50% more single men than women depending on your subregion of SFBA)
Seems reasonable to me. I think this is a lot of FUD. I've never had a Qt license, but nothing here scared me off from getting one.
