Worth pointing out: we have some evidence that high-intensity interval training actually does make your brain stronger, through an unrelated mechanism.

HIIT exercise causes muscles to produce lactate, which crosses the blood–brain barrier and induces the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor. BDNF is critical to grow and repair neurons, and we can upregulate it significantly by sprinting hard a few times a week. That's good news for those of us with only a few hours a week to work out!

Not sure if you get the same benefits from lifting? I haven't researched this in a while so my sources might be behind the cutting edge.

Manjaro has been dead to me for a long time (for different reasons). But this sets it in stone. I used to like Manjaro as a simple stable arch Alternative.

There exists a ton of working code that does not fiddle with setenv and now would have memory leaks if they don't change their code? Plus I would now need to test if my stdlib requires freeing memory or not because if I try to free on an older libc it is not going to work out well. I don't think the value works out.

From a hygiene perspective - freeing the return of another API is an anti pattern. If you need the caller to release objects there should provide a FooLib_bar_destory(bar) or similar.

Just read this comment on Reddit written by a Mexican:

> I built a manufacturing shop in Mexico, the area isn't zoned yet. This should tell you all you need to know, if any government official can find a way to get a "mordida" they will. I spent almost 10 grand in just bribes to get all the proper permits. If you get pulled over by the police, you're paying a bribe. A neighbor of mine had a pistol in his car. He paid almost 2 grand in a bribe to get released.

Depending on your role and environment, certain days are also have more value in my eyes than others. For example, people tend not to push heavy stressful and potentially disaster risk processes on Fridays. They either do these on weird off hours for their target user base at large scales or Mondays in general. Fridays where I’m at tend to be “easier” days people intentionally try to make so for a gentle transition into the weekend.

As such, taking off Fridays tends to get me less ROI while Mondays tends to be nice because while everyone deals with problems from the last week head on, I can roll in on a Tuesday with the benefit of their insights and progress. Then there’s the fact even if I’m off on Friday people I socialize with are likely still working anyways so… it could be any day for myself.
The GP's same argument also applies to the Magic Mouse, as it happens:

> It's a way of signaling how the product should be used.

In the Magic Mouse's case, it came out just on the cusp of wireless mice becoming "a thing." Most people, if they were allowed, would have just left the mouse tethered to a computer by its charging cable at all times, since that's what they were used to. But Apple thought you'd be happier once you stopped doing that. So someone (Ive?) decided to make it so that you couldn't charge the Magic Mouse and use it at the same time. This did two things:

1. it forced people to try using the Magic Mouse without any cable connected, so that they would notice the added freedom a wireless mouse affords. It was a "push out of the nest."

2. it made charging annoying and flow-breaking enough that people would put it off as long as possible — which would make people realize that the Magic Mouse's battery lasted for weeks on a charge, and so you really never would need to interrupt your flow to charge; you'd just maybe leave it plugged in to charge when you leave work on a Friday night (and even then, only when it occurs to you), and that'd be it.

---

One could argue that the truly strange thing, is that Apple has never changed this design, 15 years and one revision later. That's an entire human generation! Presumably people these days know that peripherals can be wireless and have long battery life.

But consider: Apple's flagship mousing peripheral — the one shown next to the Magic Keyboard in all product marketing photos — is the Magic Trackpad, not the Magic Mouse. The Magic Trackpad is the first-class option for multitouch interaction with macOS; some more-recent multitouch gestures don't even work on the Magic Mouse. (The Magic Mouse never got "3D touch", for one thing.) In other words, the Magic Mouse is basically a forgotten also-ran at this point — something just there on the wall in the Apple Store for those few people who can't stand the idea of using a desktop computer through a giant trackpad.

Which leads to an interesting question: what is the user-profile for the person who buys (or is bought) a Magic Mouse in 2024?

Well, probably one major user-profile is "your grandpa, a retiree from a publishing company, who's been using the same computer he brought home from work 20 years ago, until it broke last week — that computer being a Power Mac G5 with a Mighty Mouse; and who has never had a laptop, and so never learned to use a trackpad."

And if the Magic Mouse user is your grandpa... then said user probably does still need the cord-cutting lesson that the Magic Mouse "teaches"!
> consumers are more inclined to pay for luxury.

Are they? Genuinely curious. With inflation rates we’ve seen lately it’s been my impression that the opposite is the case.
Which poor public schools have any of those amenities? Most of the schools I’ve seen are in old buildings, with no air conditioning. The fancy ones may have a space for the band and a theater, while the poorer ones barely even have a playground. I’ve never seen a school with a recording studio, let alone a ballroom.
I am confused as to what the value of a 106 mile long city or a 10 mile tall building is. Neither of those seem very efficient in terms of moving things like people, supplies, water, etc. Sounds like they given up on the 10 mile tall building, but perhaps not the long ones?
louthy/language-ext [1] is a C# library which does its darndest to build a fully functional language inside C#. I found it very interesting and used it for an experimental project (which ended up failing, not sure if my usage of language-ext was partially to blame). People told me I should have just used F#.

Anyone familiar with both that can compare them?

Stumbled over this project, which features schematics and details for a 286 motherboard and an ISA memory add-on board. From the readme:

Current status(okt 2024): This project is built, fully functional, now able to operate at 20MHz CPU speed.

There's still stock out there of original 286 CPUs, as Intel licensed several manufacturers[1].

I don’t know for sure.

It’s dual link DVI.

So maybe you’d need Dual Link DVI to mDP, then mDP to USBC?

Or maybe a TB2 style adapter to TB3. Instead of mDP.
I think Apple sold one of those?

I googled and Dual Link DVI to mDP seems to exist!
My favorite airline... flew 20 flights with them and all were the same experience as pricier United, Delta, etc (seats were a bit thinner but no biggie for me). As well I saved hundreds of dollars using Spirit by putting all my travel stuff/clothes in a book bag and sliding it under the seat. Which once it landed I was off the plane and out of the airport ASAP.

Ive always thought that the pricier airlines have spent huge amounts of money on social media marketing to give Spirit a very bad rap using Tiktok, Reels, etc to create negative content about them. If half of such is true (ive seen the CEO of Spirit say something to that extent) their marketing dollars were unfortunately well spent!
What's the equivalent of "locking the screen" for cleaning an Apple TV's paired remote?
The Minisforum needs an external power brick which probably almosts doubles the size.

The Mac Mini does not need any external power adapter which is quite amazing.

Repeating what I just commented elsewhere, but Mac uses several advanced memory management features: apps can share read-only memory for common frameworks, it will compress memory instead of paging out, better memory allocation, less fragmentation.

Bandwidth for copying things into memory is also vastly faster than what you get on Intel/AMD, for example on the Max chips you get 800GB/s which is the rough equivalent of 16 channels of DDR5-6400, something simply not available in consumer hardware. You can get 8 channels with AMD Epyc, but the motherboard for that alone will cost more than a Mac mini.
For example on an android phone, set language to Japanese and all kanji is in a Japanese font by default.

For more niche uses you can usually set the font or language on a per app basis.

Every Japanese phone is using Unicode already, as is most modern PC software.

Usually this holds true in terms of how quickly performance optimizations and bug fixes trickle down to other distributions.

Like the NUMA patch mentioned in the video-it is already included in Pi OS (and has been for a while, but it takes time for it to make its way into other distros.
This feels like the proverbial "Heading the FBI Office out of Rural Alaska". A new Extra-governmental agency?

"As the first order of business, this commission will develop an action plan to totally eliminate fraud and improper payments within six months."

I suspect that is the reason for an extra-governmental agency. If they do something good, great, if not, easy to fire them.
It doesn't matter what data is sent. The act of making any network connection at all creates metadata about you at every hop between you and the telemetry server. The network itself is always listening.
It's a bit of a "Why not both?" situation, I think? You can have blocks and sentence case:

Select *
from the_table
where some_column = 12
and other_column is not null
order by order_column;

That seems so much more readable to me. As I said, that single capital `S` in the outermost "select" has come in surprisingly handy in my experience when scanning through a collection of statements or a transaction or a stored procedure or even just a statement with a bunch of nested sub-selects. It's an interesting advantage I find over "all lower case" or "all upper case" keywords.
It may give more transparency if it output the code to do scrapping with playwright.

Then we can review the code before actually running it.

And the reviewed result can be saved for future running.

Yes, it’s the full transcript including whatever data you upload. It’s pretty trivial to prompt an LLM to regurgitate its training data, especially the largest models.

macOS simply doesn't work if I want to run this as a home server, which is my primary use case for an Apple silicon Mac. Most server applications are first class citizens on Linux, like Docker and Kubernetes and caddy/nginx (I know ports exist but there's more documentation and experience on Linux). Furthermore, systemd is a lot more documented than launchd and generally speaking it's easier to do things like upgrading headless, setting up NFS, and the like. I wish Apple offered these machines with official Linux support, but that's antithetical to their philosophy.

> It seems we possibly agree Bagration was more impactful, but our disagreement is whether it was as impressive.

Well, what makes Bagration unique in the same sense as Overlord? The scale alone does not cut it, and it's not the largest land operation anyway.

> Military deception was practiced by all sides, but the Soviets took maskirovka to an art form. Not only were there feinted strategic offensives (with the potential to become real as plan B), but huge troop formations moved one way during daytime and retraced their steps during the night. Radio discipline exercised atypically for the Red Army.

So far I haven't seen what would set Soviet maskirovka apart from e.g. Allied effort. All methods you mention seem pretty standard.

> "Most iconic" in the Western world is just because, like I argued, the Eastern Front is way less known and depicted in movies.

Partially yes, but that's not what makes Bagration forgettable.

"Iconic" is about human stories. Photos from the landing craft moving onto the beach, soldiers getting mowed by the machine guns while running over completely exposed positions, German soldiers sitting in fortified, but ultimately outnumbered and hopeless positions. Those are very memorable. You can make stories about close quarters combat for months in a completely destroyed Stalingrad, fighting for every building, pretty much living next to the enemy etc. You could make stories about Bagration, but it would not appear unique to the reader, you can't really transmit the scale of manouver warfare into the human story.
Agreed have flown Spirit close to two dozen times and all those flights were smooth and inexpensive. Made me think why would I ever fly the pricier airlines when Spirit offers service to where Im going.
The long line efficiency is asserted to be from no need for cars or trucks, just a set of train tracks(?) that can loop people and goods transfer from one end to the other with optimal minimal wait and walking, elevator, freight elevator, from there.

The height (10 mile seems extreme) as a "wall" was pitched as long enough and high enough to create a micro climate that encouraged rainfall dump on one side or the other (I don't recall which from when I first read on this some years back).
In the US? Absolutely. Look at Apple's market share post-pandemic, the growth of organic food, luxury spending, cars, anything really. There has been an overwhelming shift to luxury. Google the 2020 vs 2023 Prius. Hell, even McDonalds is trying to move upscale!
It took me a number of years of working with git to realize it really really wants you to squash things. Especially if you're sharing branches.

git lets you create as complicated a commit tree as you want, and lets you do merges so you can have a separate commit where multiple changes come together, but realistically it really only works if you use it for a rebase workflow in your branches, squashing all changes into a single commit each time. Merge is an outlier when you need a more powerful tool to join branches but want to keep both of the originals still intact. But that shouldn't be your everyday workflow or you're guaranteed to end up with an unreadable, untraceable, and unmanageable commit graph.
Maybe they had freeways and Chevy Suburbans like in Texas.

The claim that Russia should consider NATO expansion irrelevant to its security is pure gaslighting.

I imagine most non-corporate, non-loyalty fliers use flight search engines where they can easily compare prices. If Spirit has the worst reputation, which I think is a given, consumers have to weigh the price difference between Spirit and a 'regular' carrier against that bad reputation.

That begs the question, how much cheaper is a Spirit flight compared to other carriers for a given itinerary? In my experience, it's maybe $50-$150, compared to a trip that might cost $500-$2000 overall. It's not like fliers are choosing between Spirit and first class on Delta. They're deciding whether or not to spend an extra ~$100 to be slightly less miserable on a trip that may be one of their largest single expenses of the year, and maybe their only trip of the year.
I dislike emphasizing telemetry like this since, intentional or not, it implies all telemetry is equal. "Oh, well both Windows and Manjaro collect telemetry now, so one less reason to change"
at least for linux, it might make sense to containerize the environment and store it. That way next time if it doesn't build on current, one can use the prev that did work.
Nope, thats not the point I was trying to make.

What if you weren't making a chair, but a hammock. They can both do the same thing, but are very different approaches and requirements.

Same with websites. They are a medium for conveying information. You don't need (traditional) websites or apps to do that. I can even ask for information and receive information completely independently of a website.

The only reason devs need to care about all these things is because of the medium being used.
I don't know, silicon valley has had some interesting things for sale.

the pictures in this article aren't particularly compelling though.

I remember in the post-internet-bubble seeing almost-new aeron chairs sold in huge quantities. Now it is less of a big deal. The aeron chairs are less iconic nowadays.

When Weird Stuff Warehouse was still around, it was like computer geology viewing the strata. You could go deeper into the store and back in time to see expensive machines of a decade ago sold for nothing. I remember thinking - that server would make a good end table conversation piece! I also remember them selling brightly colored silicon graphics workstations.
Imagine if every bug report included such detailed steps to replicate, including a custom website to display those steps! An "average" bug report is usually on the other extreme of things :-/

Okay here are the first few that come to mind:

- displaying a full screen dialog on login asking me to enable OneDrive with options being: yes/remind me in 3 days/remind me in a week;

- ads in start menu;

- using MS Edge + bing for searches from the start menu, disregarding the default browser;

- ditto but for Outlook links (at least this one can be disabled)!

- different pop up/dialogs that prompt you to switch to Edge/Edge+copilot every few weeks
thank you! means a lot coming from you ;)

Speaking of the system tables - it's awesome how much telemetry is saved in there that helps us build a really powerful preset clickhouse monitoring dashboard (heavily inspired from the built-in clickhouse one of course). We figured that alone is quite useful for teams running any Clickhouse instance and want better insights into what's going on.
Then a loss of support for 7 and 8 doesn't really mean much.
Where are you seeing ads?

I'm guessing parent was requesting an alternative that was demonstrably better rather than examples of how it's bad - and thus saying that GBoard is actually okay on this front, regardless of how actually usable it is.

For the record I'm with you, I WISH swiping was reliable but it's just so often so far off the mark. I remember it being better as well, but that was probably very early on in its use, when I was paying more attention to how I was swiping and going slower, as well.
Is it significantly better than the iOS/macOS built in dictation software?
I agree, I should have also added that any tools needed to unlock the hardware should be made available.
The alternative isn't a jump fee that goes to the government. It's no jumping at all.
This is a super interesting distinction and I'm glad I wrote my superficial drive-by comment about FDB's testing to prompt you to make it. :)
Well, that's the _good_ possibility...
They even made a whole TV show about it!
Don't think it's even that. All they had to do was match or get close to Spirts fares until they drove them out of business. The major carriers don't need to collude, it's part of their playbook and apparent when they go after a route or market. AA, Delta, and United could afford to lose money on routes longer than Spirit could. It's a shame if Spirit doesn't make it.
I would argue these are still distinct meanings: one has speculative implications the other has tangible results. Announcing a marital engagement may be important, but the marriage is not formal until the marriage certificate is filed. In the context of news, its important to get right.

I now understand how this is specific to solving the problems of a shared email inbox. This isn't a problem I've had to deal with before, but indeed it appears to be a sufficiently painful problem to solve for.

I wish you the best of luck, and continue the good fight to simplify.
yes! the full stack includes our recommended schema which has the indexes set up - it's a drop in replacement for anything that would ingest Otel-based telemetry! If you already have Promtail setup - you might want to set up a collector or tweak the existing collector to take in Promtail via the Otel Loki Receiver: https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-collector-co...

Overall it doesn't sound very hard to me!
