Apple has to walk a tight rope here. Every change they make is risky and you could end up bricking legitimate devices.

It's undeniable that the limitation they've applied makes stealing the parts less desirable. You can't easily pass off a device made with stolen parts as completely genuine which reduces the resale value in the most lucrative second hand markets. Every generation they're slowly moving more in this direction, while also balancing these restrictions against repair-ability and risk of unintended bricking.

This effort is creating a lot of work for Apple. I seriously doubt it's worth the trouble just to make repairing the devices harder. The money they make from that is peanuts. What they gain from customers being happy that their phones are less worth stealing, and the price they get for a fully genuine phone in the second hand market when they upgrade, is probably much more important for driving the sale of new phones.

> EVERY SINGLE DECISION that Apple makes is for revenue gathering

Of course. Why do you say that as if it's news, or as if it's something not every single person here knows already?

Yet the fact is that sometimes these decisions overlap with the genuine interests of the customers, either because of customer feedback, increase/decrease in sales, or from competition, or due to regulations.

And I personally think this effort is something that heavily overlaps with consumer interests. Especially now that they're putting more effort into making pairing/calibration of swapped parts easier.
> Apple didn't push anyone

They indirectly did. The "Free Market" showed that it is way more profitable to sell a shinny skinny phone that many replace instead of fixing after a year. No one cares about what is actually better for the user when more money can be made. Prime example of that is when apple removed the ESC key in favor of a touchbar. That doesn't even address the other issues such as the environment which has an even smaller interest.
What does "lackluster response" mean? How many people have you reached out to? It should be a minimum of a 100 or so. The great thing about an outreach is you learn a thing or two along the way.
That is a great point. The monastic life allows for a range of feelings, including deep doubt and even anguished despair without derailing. In addition to having no pressing circumstances, the author probably cannot afford widely ranging introspection or emotions without destabilization. (I can’t either.)
Yes. It was an article from someone who went into a café which had a QR code based ordering system. After ordering through the system they decide to open their laptop and inspect/look at the API of the system (a system apparently used across India).

They realize that the whole API does not use authentication or authorization and start reverse engineering it/trying out various endpoints. They can then do things like ordering stuff for other tables, calculate earnings of restaurants, etc.

They probably took it down because they disclosed it publicly directly instead of contacting that QR code based ordering service provider (which I won't mention the name of).

Given that this is a substack which has a newsletter, this article has probably reached many people before being taken offline.
It looks like the UK gov is covering things like productivity and a loyal workforce.

Not sure if you dropped a "/s".

In my experience, C++ template usage will always expand until all reasonably available compile time is consumed.

Rust doesn't have C++'s header/implementation separation, so it's easy to accidentally write overly generic code. In C++ you'd maybe notice "do I really want to put all of this in the header?", but in Rust your compile times just suffer silently.
On the other hand, C++'s lack of a standardized build system led to the popularity of header-only libraries, which are even worse for compile times.
Initially I thought it's one of those optical illusions where you start seeing something in seemingly random buzz, just dynamically generated.
Intel certainly would not.

Qualcomm as the new owner of Intel, trying to extract maximum profit out of their IP, possibly. Think of when Oracle bought Sun Microsystems.
Async communications can be exhausting. It’s infuriating to need some bit of information and be stuck with chat because
1. People are terrible at organizing things like slack as far as I can tell.
2. Walking over to someone and having a 15 minute conversation is less disrupting to the day than tossing a mention into the void and then having responses dribble in over the next hour and a half.

A work from home full time and don’t want to go back to the office, but the periodic need for unscheduled ad-hoc communication is absolutely the most exhausting part of it.

What makes you think remote employees work part time ?
This is handy, one thing I've noticed using 3.5 Sonnet, the tables that aren't the correct orientation are more prone to incorrect output.

I know this was an issue when GPT 4 vision initially came out due to training, not sure if it's a solved problem or if your tool handles this.

Similar circumstances (but longer time wfh) and similar observation. The in-person place is full of these absurd chains of tracking down the person who knows the thing, terrible processes for communication and defining what work needs to be done, et c, in ways that would never survive in a remote company because you can’t work that way when you’re remote.

It’s a huge drag on their efficiency, in person or remote, and hurts hiring because they struggle to provide even a handful of of remote days per year in a market where every office worker I know (aside from here) is at least hybrid-leaning-remote (and most office workers I know aren’t in tech, nor is this a tech company). They have no idea that it’s bad, though.

I don't think this is a good look for journalism and that people who allegedly champion social justice would develop an antipathy towards Israel is sadly not surprising.

This is activism and not journalism. It is fine to reflect on your shortcomings when it comes to objectivity. It is the same for justice too. And still we strive towards it, because it makes sense. And no, it doesn't have anything to do with race, class or gender. If anything is subjective, I think we should start here.

It is fine and it should be encouraged to advocate for something, but maybe journalism isn't the correct profession in that case.
That’s not what the government is proposing though - they are proposing working from home options and flexibility of working 5 day hours into 4 days (so, 4x10 hrs rather than 5x8).

Also though - studies have been conducted and companies shrinking days to 4 whilst keeping 5 days have seen an increase in/same productivity.

So, depends on whether the company is after results or presenteeism.
Yes, just like restaurants compete against home cooked meals.

I have always worked much more remotely.

While YouTube binging days happen, in general there's a higher expectations for results and more pressure.

At the office you could do 2000 breaks for coffee and smoke and it was more relaxed. If I was missing at my desk people would assume I was in a meeting or had some call or was on a break.

But online? Don't answer someone in 30/40 minutes and there was an instant assumption you were not working.

I don't believe that remote working is for everyone, it's tough, and I believe that many are less productive (countless coworkers I could see playing videogames on discord during the day). They pay the price at some point, but I don't judge.

But for many others the reality is tougher than office days.

Especially the first 18 months after COVID hit were hell for me.

That's not even counting the mental toll of isolation and lower socialization. Again, good remote work is not for everyone and I understand companies that oppose it.

But I don't share any view implying that it's less productive or less stressful, in many many ways it isn't.

It's my understanding that the old E2R had shifted from cut glass RP towards a more generic BBC (although not lerped all the way to Jafaican, or even MLE)?

German dialect variance is probably closer to standard english vs irish english (in which "a ride" may be an action but may also refer to animate objects, specifically an attractive person, and furthermore even borrows some grammatical constructions from the gaelic)? Compare the range between SAE vs AAVE.

EDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J9dRmnlWJY is an example of the same interviewer employing a broader (too far east for my ear to place) dialect; presumably in the AML interview he had also been accommodating by hewing closer to swiss standard german.

EDIT2: and for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogpYWKpYVaw&t=40s (with an eastern german singer) he starts in dialect for the introduction to his audience, but then immediately switches to a very standard german for the interview qs posed to her.

One of the points is that if you have a nuclear powered navy, there needs to be a career path for disembarking reactor-techs.

This is in no small part the reason why the countries with nuclear powered navies are most eager to build new nuclear power reactors.
Completely agree. I'll tolerate PDF menus if it's a really good restaurant, chances are I already know what I want anyway. If they ask me to install apps on my phone I walk out.
> and you are going to have cyclists materializing out of thin air on both sides.

It is called filtering and it is totally legal in the UK. It should be no problem if you are patient and allow the cyclists to ride off first when the lights go green.

In a properly designed system the green light should come on for the cyclists first, then the larger vehicles can follow on after that.

It seems like this is something that warrants a personal approach? Just ask what employees would like to do and why and then work out a schedule that works for both employer and employee. Simply retracting freedom is obviously not going to be a popular measure. And happy employees are better for everyone I'd say?
I don't live in London, but my city has a similar low emission zone.

My dad is poor and must drive an hour to work because he can't afford to live in the city. When he last brought a car he stupidly listened to the government recommendation at the time and brought an extremely economical diesel car because he understood this was good for the environment, and my dad was a long-time green voter.

For the last couple of years since the low emission zone was implemented he's had to take a 30 min detour to get to work meaning it's taking him 1.30 hours to get to work adding an hour to his total daily commute and 50% to his weekly fuel bill and increasing his emissions by 50%. While he could just about afford getting a petrol car, this isn't exactly a cheap purchase for someone who only makes £25,000...

This isn't some media conspiracy. It's been making my dad's life hell for the last two years now. My understanding is that working class people who use vans for work are also getting screwed by this.

If you want to reduce the number of polluting vehicles in the city then ban non-essential cars, buses, vans and lorries. Creating a charge just means that if you're rich enough to not care you'll continue as is and if you're poor you'll get screwed and be forced to change habits.

I'm not suggesting we shouldn't prioritise clean air, I'm suggesting that we should do so in a fair way. I don't understand why anything I'm saying is controversial or why I'm being gas lit about this being a media conspiracy. Perhaps it's you who is out of touch?

The logical conclusion from statistics is hybrid work. I am full remote because of the distance, bust most of my company is hybrid, and my experience is exactly as described by the results of the Microsoft studies.

I go on site 3-5 days per month, and I always connect more (more than 0) with people outside my team and happens, even on work related topics which enable new interesting findings and what not.

It helps that the company where I work has a culture that make people want to go to the offices even if they are not required to do so. There are pics days when the office is full because people want to see each others, then they are free to remote work any time it is wanted/needed.
ARM32 is much simpler to explain compared to ARM64. Registers are so much simpler, conditional execution is orthogonal, three-operand form is consistent. ARM64 made all the right practical choices, but has doubled the complexity. Still much better than x86 with its 10x complexity.

ARM32 is a gem, in my opinion. A truly simple instruction set, and easy to get your hands on with Raspberry Pi or emulation.

Yeah, the lingering mental aspect from being robbed is a good point. I personally doubt I would have trauma if someone held a gun to me and asked me for my merchandise, but who knows, I've never actually experienced that irl

Body language would probably be a bigger factor in that than the gun though

But also, robbery is often driven by trauma or desperation itself

Maybe I don't know enough to take an exact stance exactly on the appropriate punishments, but I do feel like the different factors need to be weighed and balanced

I'm also actually not allowed to get involved in political stuff though, so yeah I probably should have kept my mouth shut on this from the outset

But I will say that justice isn't about my or someone else's wants, its about whats fair for everyone involved, including the one who done the robbery

E.g. giving them a chance to demonstrate they can change. If not, then harsher punishments

> even when a cyclist or a pedestrian made the error

Surely this depends on how bad the error is?

Suppose you have a cyclist and driver traveling opposite (180 degrees) directions on the same road toward a 4-way stop. The driver stops, looks all ways, notes the cyclist approaching the intersection soon, and enters the intersection. The cyclist then does not stop, does not signal, and turns left (from their perspective) in front of the car which was already in the intersection.

Most of the time, you'd probably need one more failure for that to result in a collision (manufacturer's defect in the accelerator, cyclist slips and falls, ...), but suppose the car did hit the cyclist and none of those other failures were the driver's fault either. In your model, how much legal blame should the driver have?

I’m not sure if Bukerman has the worst job or the best job. His work¹ consists of being anxious about life, actively researching coping mechanisms, then writing a summary (with a dash of personal interpretation) to an audience suffering from the same maladies.

His curse is that he may never be able to attain nirvana: Doing so would destroy his source of income, which would bring back the stress. I do get the feeling he might (perhaps paradoxically) be at peace with the thought, that he accepted his neuroticism as an integral part of who he is and is learning to manage those feelings instead of trying to change all at once. Life, after all, is a journey and not a destination.
