Correct, and what's to keep users of the subreddit from tagging posters who've posted in the Israel subreddit and down voting them until they're hidden? There's no effective way to force users to interact with other users they don't want to interact with.
Thats actually a really good price.

The mac book air with the M chip was absolutly a steal already. I'm surprised by this.

It kind of undermines the sleek form factor if you need to have a clunky NVMe enclosure dangling off the back though. Even with this tiny new design I bet they could fit a hatch on the bottom with space for a 2230 M.2 drive, but they don't want to because that would let you upgrade to 2TB of fast internal storage for $200 instead of $800.
There are a lot of options out there now for USB PC speakers that have the DAC/amp built in, eg these are $50 and natively USB-C: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08F57GSJ7

But yeah, anyone "serious" would go discrete for all that stuff regardless. I guess this also lets Apple sidestep a bunch of fuss around non-stereo use-cases, for people who want quadraphonic or 5.1 at their workstation.

When you write code in those languages, over time you accumulate multiple versions of it in much the same way, yes? I assume you use a tool such as Git, Mercurial (hg), SVN etc. to manage this.

As you say, text files (like your source code) are pretty straightforward. But these tools can generally be adapted to handle binary files as well - see for example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3601672 and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9478023.

xdelta and bsdiff are implementations of actual diffing algorithms - they compare two similar versions of a file and create a representation of what changed.
IIRC, the bicameral mind theory speculates the change occuring ~70 kya.

One comment on all of these: many of these people used to work in a field, then left that field to pursue writing/content full time. There are thousands of other people actually working in their field who produce great and even more relevant content, but cannot pump it out at the same rate.
I've been pondering giving up on Macs for a while and this blind and rather stupid deferral to "AI" is going to accelerate the process.

Almost nobody asked for this. I personally would have wanted one program to not stop starting with a cryptic message after upgrading to macOS 15.1 earlier today. But hey, crazies like me who want a decently working software are apparently not welcome in the customer base.

The only reason I am still staying with Apple for my desktop needs is that I paid $8000 for my iMac Pro and that was just some short 5 years ago.

But as time goes by, buying 1-2 specialized text rendering displays and going full Linux looks more and more attractive, especially with Fedora and Manjaro now offering the "immutable" distros i.e. you can frak around with your environment but then revert everything if you don't like it (or the contrary, do a DB commit of sorts i.e. have your changes persist after reboot) -- those features make backing up entire workstations even easier.

Sprinkle an external ZFS server and the ability to just zfs send/recv entire disks with encryption and compression and I think just some 2-3 short years into the future I'll be laughing at Macs.

Apple keeps dropping the ball. iOS 18 lost all my tab groups in Safari as well. And Photos randomly chooses not to show pictures in the big Photos feed; you have to know which day they were saved to be able to see them.

/facepalm

Apple is now in decline, it can't be more obvious by these fairly outrageous bugs + the fact that they are now regular followers like everyone else and are jumping on the "AI" bandwagon.
The Apple employees who worked on this product cause a lot of CO2 emissions just living their lives. I'm guessing Apple didn't try to offset that CO2.
> Neither MacOS nor Windows are very good console OSes

They're great OSes for consumers who don't really work on their computers, and just want something that caters to the lowest common denominator.

For professionals who use computers for work, Linux is really the only option that doesn't eventually get in your way. You can set it up and leave it as-is, with only security updates, and everything keeps working the same way, basically forever.

I've tried to set up an experience like that on both macOS and Windows, but eventually, the company will find a way of forcing an update on your, intentionally or not.
Good to know. There was a similarly popular project that didn't get this benefit (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31033758).
Bah! So close. I'd love a prestige TV version of Oregon Trail, watching a few families travel from Missouri westward. It would work great with multiple seasons, too—just jump forward in time 5-ish years each season, and see how the journey has changed in the interim.
I've played with different miracle gizmos all my life, nothing worked. When I go slow and careful I can write like a 2nd grader. As a kid my teachers were constantly mad at me until one realized I was trying and got me testing - sadly dysgraphia (likely the diagnosis I needed, though I was never formally diagnosed) wouldn't exist for several more years and so I couldn't get the right help. (if any help exists, I haven't been able to find anything useful and I'm not sure as an adult if it is worth the time - there are so many other things I can do instead)
I have a simpler solution: Europe is sick of tourists? Then don't go to Europe!

Why would I go to someplace where I'm not wanted to spend my time and money? I can take myself and my money elsewhere. No hard feelings.

Oftentimes, those "elsewheres" tend to be more interesting places as they're typically not tourist traps. It helps to be the sort of person who enjoys going down less beaten paths.

A proof is not a statement that something is true, but a demonstration that it is true.

Are you familiar with the proofs-as-programs idea?

The uh, something isomorphism? Idr the name.

Not all programs that implement a function are the same.

When you boil things down to the fundamental steps of the logic you are working on, you needn’t get the same thing.

For one thing, it may be that axioms A and B suffice to prove Z, and that axioms B and C suffice to prove Z, but that B alone doesn’t, and that A and B doesn’t prove C and that B and C doesn’t prove A.

So, the proofs using A and the proofs using C are certainly different.
It's funny that they advertise this because a Mac comes with a spreadsheet application that is hard to use and unbelievably slow. If they sent some engineers to work on that program they could get a 10x-100x improvement on the software side instead of grinding it out on the hardware side.

Permissions aren't the problem. But the upstream source of all the forks is wrong if you take a repo private, all stars from folks outside your organization are gone,... So you need GitHub support to restore everything.

There's a simple mechanical transformation from one path to the other.
As a proof that "the store is reachable, they are essentially the same if it is already known that you live on a "block" with the store" . If it is not known that you live on a block, then the second proof together with the first gives a much deeper result, proving that you do live on a block. That makes a second proof valuable, but in the monograph of history, it is most parsimonious to make the block proof and the note how it implies to trivially distinct ways of reaching the store.
The tipping system itself is bad, but until it is abolished (in particular, by eliminating the distinction in the minimum wage between tipped and untipped jobs, and by raising the minimum wage across the board), it is your obligation to tip well.

And many desktops do that today, but like everything it has tradeoffs, such as peak bandwidth and power usage. DDR sockets inherently make this sacrifice, integrated designs will always have wider buses, higher bandwidth, etc. That's also why you don't get sockets for your GPU memory, either. It's a design tradeoff.
It would appear the air intake is on the bottom like the Mac Studio.

As someone who lives in a very dusty 150 year old house, My Mac Studio does not appreciate the air input being directly on the desk. It collects all the dust that lands anywhere near it.

Why is X11 unsandboxable? A similar but reverse approach to Xwayland, something like waylandX could be used to be part of the overall sandbox approach to run untrusted applications. That would have the advantage that the severe restrictions and feature degradations of wayland are only applied to those untrusted sandboxed applications, not everything.

> Then even for tens of thousands of people, you can still get "random" divisions of a population where, say, one half has all the T9 traits -- and thereby the "effect" is just due to this random segmentation.

This complaint reveals a lack of understanding about statistics and probability. The point is that in a well-controlled experiment, the random variation is uncorrelated with the treatment. Nobody ever claimed, or ever would claim, that control removes random variation entirely, or that it's impossible to randomly obtain a data sample that looks like a causal effect.

Trying to deal with this problem is literally why the entire field of probability and statistics exists. It is not at all a valid criticism of this article or the causal reasoning behind randomized controlled trials. The article even talks about this (indirectly and clumsily) in the section about "balancing covariates".

Recall the definition of a p-value: the (estimated) probability that a result as extreme as the one we observed could arise simply due to random variation in sampling, measurement noise, etc?

> In the hard sciences causes can actually be controlled, by eg., literally placing your hand on some part of the experiment to stop it moving (or equivalent). This is the "third option" which is missing from the intro: actual science.

No, you still need to do statistical analysis of "hard science" lab experiments too, for exactly the same reason. Experimental control is never perfect, and literally every observed data point ever is a random draw from a noisy data-generating process.

> speculative science

There is a lot to criticize in how science, especially (but not exclusively) social science, handles statistical rigor and the communication of results that depend on statistical analysis. But this is not that.

I've been saying this since the butterfly-keyboard fiasco. At that point it was clear that professional users weren't the focus anymore, and I promptly left the ecosystem. I still have a iPhone (12 mini) that I only keep because it still works, but every time CarPlay tries to murder me in traffic, I get one step closer to just yeeting that phone into the sea.

software used to be hardware limited, and therefore efficient. Today Software relies on many more transistors per joule to compute a number of operations in high-level languages.

When you say "SF is pushing a microservices architecture for e-commerce hard", I wonder if you mean they attempt to rope customers into buying into the Mulesoft ecosystem (most of which, btw, is old versions of Spring on old JVM under the hood). They now own Mulesoft, and there is an army of sales people whom are presumably really good at getting the execs excited for groundbreaking features like "API Governance", "API Gateway", "low-code" and my favorite "security".

A company I worked with suffered some serious setbacks after a lot of promises, many months and many many millions burned on this stuff. I'll be a happy man if I never have to hear about SAPI/BAPI/CRAPPI from ProServices people that don't even understand their own products let alone sound engineering principles again. I must admit that I wasn't directly involved with SF/Mulesoft impls, but I did suffer through many regrettable touch points with it.
I’m the founder of printfits.com, a custom apparel platform where we help people design and create personalized clothing items. I thought I’d share some insights from our journey, especially around the complexities and unexpected rewards of manufacturing custom products for each individual order.

Lesson #1: Manufacturing Custom Apparel is Harder than It Looks
When we started, we knew it would be challenging to create a custom product every time someone hit “order.” But what we didn’t anticipate was the degree of operational complexity: managing materials, printing quality, quick turnarounds, and ensuring customer satisfaction for every unique design. Each item requires its own workflow, and we’ve had to fine-tune every step of the process to get consistent results without bottlenecks.

Lesson #2: Customization Creates a Sticky Business
The effort it takes to fulfill custom orders does come with an upside: customer loyalty. People who order custom apparel often have a strong attachment to the items, whether it's for their business, a family event, or personal branding. That connection keeps them coming back. We’ve found that customers are willing to return for multiple custom pieces once they see that they can bring their exact vision to life.

Lesson #3: Balancing Scale and Personalization
Scaling a business like this means balancing growth with quality. It’s tempting to automate everything, but too much automation risks losing the personal touch that keeps customers coming back. We’re now focused on keeping the customization process smooth and reliable without losing the handcrafted appeal.

Any fellow makers or custom product founders here? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any solutions you’ve found for managing custom workflows efficiently.
It's not every day you get to launch a hosted Postgres service that has something fundamentally new to offer. That's what we have done with Prisma Postgres, and I'm incredibly excited for it.

Yeah, just take a look at PCIe 5 and it's 512GB/s of bandwidth.

-> Have you installed a server CPU?

Yeah, and none of the problems you mentioned.

-> That’s not an experience Apple wants any user of their products to have.

Yeah, just look at the older macs with upgradable components and the easyness you had replacing them... So, instead of making it easier, let's just remove it altogether.
Couldn't we just add extra drives into the extra internal SSD slots? Or does Mac Mini not have those?
> He would've pushed something wierd, like VBA .

That was Bill Gates. Bill Gates founded the company on BASIC and seemed to remain a fan of the language even as the rest of the world moved on to other languages.

Ballmer wasn't technical so appeared to have no skin in the game of which language "won", so long it was Microsoft Developer Tools like Visual Studio developers used to work on it (and what would become VS Code, which as many point out did start under Ballmer's tenure). That "Developers! Developers! Developers!" meme was directly an "I want to support developers wherever they are and however they want to work". Sure he was a huge Windows cheerleader and would want those Developers working on Windows machines, but he really did seem to want to see Windows be the best platform for developers to code for anything (including/especially the cloud).

In terms of Python specifically, IronPython was active and interesting during Ballmer's tenure and Ballmer helped form a team that was actively contributing to open source projects like Python (and Node and Redis and others) to make them all run better (sometimes much better) on Windows. Ballmer may have been afraid of open source as a business model, but he also seemed to realize the usefulness of open source for bringing developers (back) to Windows and he did start efforts in that direction.
Compression, encryption, auth: not immediately. What's the use case here? Multi-machine robots are _tricky_ to get right. Running remote controls and telemetry via the framework would be really cool, but is also tricky to tune (need really good qos controls), and needs some work to be exposed safely to the outside world.

Proper schemas/API versioning: I'm not sure what you mean by "proper schemas", but schema/API versioning is also an area I'd like to get right. I've been bit before by tests using old ros bags, before some message type was changed or topic name was moved.
Positives:

+ form factor

+ ARM/Apple silicon/SoC

Negatives:

- Apple tax on memory, storage

- non-upgradeable

- Apple tax on 1GbE to 10 GbE ($100 surcharge lol)

- maxes out at 64G of configurable memory w/ m4 pro

Got to give it to Apple. The traunches between different configuration levels is “small” enough to convince buyers to enter the next level.

It’s like “hey, you are already at $4000 for m4 pro with 64g. Just spend an extra $400-$600 for that bump in storage. It’s no biggy. We losing money at this point”.

I wonder how many consumers fall into this sunk cost fallacy scenario that Apple has designed.
I know EADS participated on that project, but despite all the issue i have with the software part of this conglomerate and how they treated employees, EADS since 2010 have been open on a lot of their issues, so i would bet the shield part of Orion is done by Lockheed Martin and that's why information is really scarce.

That's cool to hear! I'll follow the project and fingers crossed it works out. Since I still kind of rely on legacy packages I probably won't/can't move to it in the nearest future but it would definitely be great when "prototyping" and production could be merged to one (without headache)
