Not for things like type / lint / formatting errors. Tests too if not too long.

I mean have them in the CI as well, but for sure have them as pre-commit hooks.

+1 to Cook’s choice of the MX Master series. I switched to that family of mice back when RSI first started showing up in high school / early college. It has been consistently fantastic for the past .. err .. 18 years.

Whenever I kill one of these, I just buy the new latest version. Think I’m on mouse 5 or 6. At times I’ve had multiple – one for office, one for home.
Hi, just a quick and simple Sunday project I did to visualize which skills were most requested on job ads in UAE / KSA from my job site.

Plan to do some more detailed analysis soon, for example skills by location, levels of seniority etc.

Maybe it's useful to somebody.

Cheers
Sure, but I said mostly plants, not all plants. I’m not trying to take away Thanksgiving turkey. But most of the meat we eat we do thoughtlessly and it’s not especially good anyway.
As opposed to X, which told users it would be using their content to train Grok.

No matter which way you spin it, Bluesky is significantly better than X.

My Samsung fridge (in Europe) died after 12 years, and the tech guy said it actually lasted more than average as they used to have some experimental compressor back then.

But he also said they have since improved that, and indeed, now samsung fridges come with a 20 year warranty on their compressor.

People are just using it wrong, it’s the only good mouse for macOS. The memes and the hate is baseless, you are not supposed to lay your hand over the mouse but move it around by gently holding by the sides and utilize the touch surfaces for Mac gestures with your fingers. Then you can just rest your hands on the table, which makes it very ergonomic.

My guess is that Tim Cook can’t use it the right way because he is likely using a lot of Microsoft Excel, which is made for the Windows UI paradigm.
This is a useful bit of conventional wisdom, but it helps to know when it is and isn't applicable.

There is a huge amount of data analysis which uses numbers representing money as inputs where it's fine to use floating point, and financial entities routinely do so. For a transaction, interest payments, and that sort of thing, then yes, one needs a specific sort of fixed-point representation, and operations which round in whatever the legally-correct fashion is for the use case.

Reductively, if you've turned money into numbers, and will turn the resulting numbers back into money, don't use floating point. If you're running a big calculation with lots of inputs to decide what stock to buy next, that's probably going to have floating-point monetary values in it, and there's nothing wrong with that. Hedge funds do a lot of the latter.

I became friends with most people that tested my boundaries (I don’t even like calling what I experienced “bullying” it was so minor). But I was also always extremely intolerant of it. Meaning, I fought back or retaliated in equal or worse ways. It wasn’t the best way but it worked. I moved a lot as a kid and there was always a new group I was having to integrate with and so I got used to dealing with all the typically stuff that came with that. I once had a kid messing with me on a school bus, I asked him to stop, tried to avoid sitting near him, but finally after about 3 days of him doing whatever he was doing I smacked him across the nose with the spine of my textbook and there was so much blood. I got detention for a week and some corporal punishment (smacks with a wooden paddle iirc). He never messed with me again and I became Mr. Popularity for standing up to this kid who was I guess a jerk to everyone. It was only second grade and didn’t last because we moved again at the end of the year. I don’t remember if i became friends with that guy, that memory stands out because my reaction was so severe. By middle school, we’d do dumb stuff like smack each other in the back of the head or tripping each other in the halls of school. The kids that didn’t participate probably felt bullied when some one tried to “befriend them”, everyone else became friends. We all would laugh about it and play together at recess, basketball, wallball, etc came out of it.

Now, I’m a dad of a 6 year old son. We’ve been telling him his whole life to be respectful and keep his hands to himself. He has and is truly baffled by kids with aggressive attitudes. He’s been around it occasionally his whole life, having to play nice or talk it out with another kid but while he’s still pretty chill and peaceful it’s now obvious he’s essentially bully bate. He’s too kind and tolerant of other kids being jerks. This past few months we made the switch to telling him that defending himself is OK. It felt weird, like we did everything right but now have to backtrack because of the failure of other parents. Or, and maybe more likely, it’s the case that some kids are just more innately better/worse behaved and we just haven’t properly prepared our kid to deal with it. Idk but I’m totally willing to deal with the fallout of him getting in trouble defending himself versus the fallout of him not defending himself and being a victim with lasting damage to his self confidence/mental health.
Technically correct, but on Bluesky there are lists of the kind of people who. like what X has become, so that they can be blocked en masse.
The first MX Master 3S I had lasted a bit over 3 years. The battery would be constantly needing to be refreshed about once a week. It kinda got annoying.

I still have it with the intentions of hacking it and replacing the battery for a secondary mouse for use in the garage, but ... I'm trying to get other things done first.
Sure, we effected major changes by making it illegal to build homes next to jobs so re-legalising that should make a big difference.
Most of the probes would be identical. Building two identical probes would cost only marginally more than 1, perhaps 10% more.

> but that just shift most of the cost into the payload

It reduces the cost, not shift it.

> And then there is no point in having such a fleet if you there isn't enough funding for scientists to process the results.

Plenty of funding would become available if the funding for junk science stops, such as:

"In 2021, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded $549,000 to a Russian lab performing experiments on cats, including removing part of their brains and seeing if they could still walk on treadmills, according to the Washington Times." https://nypost.com/2024/11/13/us-news/where-elon-musk-can-st...
...or flying with fairy wings

We can make anything up. Why not stick to the facts, as we know them, and reasonable projections?

There is no reasonable projection for any fuel other than fossil fuel to maintain the sort of flying we do now.
I was told that most donors at the hospital spend one night, and some spend two. Was your surgery laparoscopic? Mine was, which was part of why the recovery is so much faster compared to traditional donations.

> payed in Germany by the health insurance of the recipient

My surgery was also free, though I'm not sure who exactly paid the bill. The NKR will also cover any expense from future complications related to the donation.

> It's seven years now and I can't tell the difference.

Hoping that I have the same luck!
The anecdotal claims from you and the author are the sort which I'm hesitant to believe without a study of more people.
I don't disagree. But two wrongs don't add up to one right, so nobody is really looking at the current situation as a net-positive. Israel is a colonial state that currently has a long way to go in renouncing the territory they do not rightfully own. It's the majority opinion, not an extremist or misconstrued take. Nobody ever had to "develop the idea" because it has been said by every single country that is not Israel or the United States.
But Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland aren't outside England. See the original comment.
Forward by Isaac Asimov? I'm surprised he would have his name associated with this.
Isn't most of the cost due to designing and building the probes? One launch has been routine for NASA (and others) since long before SpaceX.

> Crypto is cool and all, but also creates plenty of footguns and is overall annoying to deal with. Legal solutions plug into the wider system of how adults deal with the world - courts, insurance, and yes, men with guns. It's not as solid as purely mathematical solutions, but it is flexible in ways that matter to real people in real-life situations.

Okay, so the bank runs a password manager and messes up the unimportant crypto part that's just kiddie stuff (math). As a result, some folks in $FAR_OFF_COUNTRY copy off all your passwords. How does the legal system protect you?
I’m all for using C for native development (and because I find it fun to work in occasionally), but I agree with your sentiment here. Not only do you have to manage memory manually, but you also have to do a lot more work for basic string manipulation which is the vast majority of web work. I would much rather work with a language with built in support for string manipulation and well known 3rd party libraries with good ergonomics for working with JSON, which a lot of your APIs will most likely be using.
Thanks. It's US data only but that's a fine source.

Three PINs.

One gives stored records (including auto-typing) and 2FA.

One gives a second bank of records et al.

The third is a duress key which wipes the device.

Also, you can reflash your data to it from an encrypted backup in case you do use the duress PIN or lose the device.

I think it's pretty cool to put the key in, type an eight digit code, then press a button to type my Amazon/GMail login page into a browser bar, enter username, enter password, wait for the page to load, then enter the 2FA. All automatically.

Big love for this thing I wear as a dogtag 24/7.
I had a quick play with that program, it's quite fun! I'd have spent hours with it back in the day! :o

Being logical in social life is pretty much completely different from being logical in a mathematical argument, especially in a formal theorem proving environment. (Just try to write any kind of cultural proposition in a formal language!)

> If the response doesn't get back it's not a reliable route.

It's not a reliable route specifically for the response packet from the intermediary to the original host -- and that might be because it gets routed out the wrong interface. It could also be because the intermediary doesn't send anything at all (which would therefore mean nothing about the validity of the route either way).

> It seems like you're saying tracert is bad because of some sort of circular reasoning where you've decided it's bad so it's bad.

I didn't even say tracert was bad. I even said on simple, straightforward routes where everything cooperates and everything aligns properly, it's great. There are just lots of external factors to keep in mind that have nothing to do with the end user that might inadvertently affect its usefulness.
Is Chrome the New IE? (2023)
> Most of the probes would be identical.

Is there some existing plan? A paper that supports this idea? It's not clear to me that the probe we send to one place for one purpose is the same we'd send to another.

> Building two identical probes would cost only marginally more than 1, perhaps 10% more.

I've read from experts - somewhere here on HN - that isn't how the costs work.

$500k is not enough to matter for a space probe, and I don't see why that brain research is junk science. If you truly think the research was about half-brained cats, then you really should appreciate that research. :D
no civilization existing today will "benefit" .. permafrost melt is a fuse to a bomb, among many too numerous to mention.
Apologies for the esoteric view, it may warrant further explanation.

My point is that holding Nordic ethnicities as being superior to others was a controversial take that was popular among a set of early to mid 20th century people who are today regarded as basically the definition of evil in common western culture.

People who are in this camp, that nordicism is wrong and evil and a direct source of many past horrors, unthinkingly mimic unique physical traits of Nordic people, without making the connection that they are engaging in a (very mild) flavor of that same nordicism themselves.

As a person of mixed heritage at this granularity, with some Nordic and some not, some blond haired blue eyed relatives and others not, I am not for it or against it, I just find it to be a rather curious juxtaposition.
Exactly. This sounds like he got exposed to some esoteric branch that itself was influenced by Christian Missionaries. Back when the east was being explored by the early colonial powers. Christian Missionaries were doing their thing, and converting all the local religions to Christianity. And out of that came a few Buddhist sects that have real Christian leanings, like the metaphysical ideas, gods, heaven, hierarchy, a perverse interpretation of karma, etc...

So if this guy got into those first, then his view of Buddhism is skewed.

"What’s worse, Buddhism holds that enlightenment makes you morally infallible—like the pope, but more so"

-> Said no Buddhist ever.
I voted for Harris. I don’t like trump.

the magic mouse manages to suck worse than the trackpad in every possible way
Agreed. The author assumes it’s the charging port, which just doesn’t matter. It gets a lot of media attention but it just doesn’t matter.

The problem with the Magic Mouse is the extremely poor ergonomic, no real right click, and no physical scroll wheel.
>If you think about it, that's disrespectful towards people living there; they are not noble savages.... they will surely want to have all the goodies that we have and emit all the greenhouse gasses associated with that lifestyle.

The hope is that whatever the developed world has settled on by 2050 to achieve net zero, lower-income countries will be able to switch to directly instead of going through a phase of fossil fuel consumption. China was too early; India for example might see a much healthier trajectory. The association of greenhouse gasses with the lifestyle of the richest countries is hoped to be only incidental.
> survival of the fittest

You are aware that Darwin as the originator of that phrase specifically pointed to non-violent cooperation as the “fittest“ strategy for survival?
I would think that education and awareness could work for another generation, though them being bombarded with a popular social media image of life it may be hard. Incentives work to some extent (the biggest being a cost of doing the good thing being lower enough than doing the bad thing), but if you will make costs of doing bad things artificially bigger (I know, it is about things the society currently thinks as free) you risk populists getting to power.

People are using it wrong, by trying to do normal things with it?

What UI paradigm shift does Numbers have that makes it well suited for the Magic Mouse?
It might be more productive if you went into how you think people are using it incorrectly, ie. how you view it is "supposed" to be used in macOS.

Ohm's law doesn't really work for transistors though.
KSA?
Yeah, which is definitely a concern for a planet with the potential to host life, like Mars or Europa, but for a place where we are pretty much 100% confident life cannot exist, like the Moon, it's just not a concern. Tardigrades are tough little creatures, but even they will just enter a tun state in such a harsh environment (if they even survive).
I guess it is tautological from the definition of "provable". A theorem is provable by definition if there is a finite well-formulated formula that has the theorem as consequence (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem paragraph theorem in logic)
Will the lights go out on Cuba's communist leaders?
> The same can be considered a simple form of Christianity as well though.

To an uninformed external observer perhaps. But to be Christian means to accept Christ as your Lord. There is no Christianity without Christ. Not even a “simple form” of it.
Worse, yes. But the title reads "so bad". I don't know if it's "so bad" and shit like that. I use a Logitech G502 wireless personally because I like the way it fits my hand. I've owned all sorts of others like the Madcatz RAT that I've liked or simpler ones that I haven't. That doesn't mean I think the MX Master is "so bad" I'd rather use the G502. Bunch of people all losing their minds over simple shit haha. Oh no, his Apple T-shirt is so bad he's wearing a Zegna shirt! It's a Sunday, my dudes.
My house is a wonderful investment: it is mine and whatever happens my family has a roof.

It's not nonsense. Many of the radio receiver setups made use of diversity or dual-diversity configurations. Also, transmitter and receiver blocks from different manufacturers were wired in switchable primary/backup configurations.
I’ve used the Magic Mouse since its creation till earlier this year. I switched to a vertical mouse. It was hard to give up the Magic Mouse’s amazing scrolling experience and its touch surface but my wrist just couldn’t take it anymore.
Strongest, yes. Most profitable, no.
At the scale we've hit, I fail to see how anyone except billionaires, mega corps and investment funds can solve this problem. The economic incentives aren't there yet without pumping billions of dollars into the problem without a financial return.

Governments have clearly failed, and several corporations have won their plays to become more rich and influential anyway in many countries.

I don't doubt that humans will continue to survive on this planet if all the worst predictions come true. Many other species won't be so lucky, which is a shame. We have all the technology and power to be caretakers for our home but we just trash it anyway.
The issue is that you actually never really know is things are fundamentally the same. To know it you have to know the future.
Just my guess as a mathematician. But if LLMs are good for anything it will be for finding surprising connections and applying our existing tools in ways beyond human search. There's a huge space of tools and problems, and human intuition and brute force searching can only go so far. I can imagine that LLMs might start to find combinatorial proofs of topological theorems, maybe even novel theorems. Or vice versa. But I find it difficult to imagine them inventing new tools and objects that are really useful.
The ideal way to use the Magic Mouse is to heavily rely on keyboard navigation
I replied to something about God (that it's best not to conflate him with discussions about hard evidence for UAPs and/or ETs), you replied with a complete non sequitur and it's my problem? How, exactly?
There are other smaller countries that do well. Norway, Australia, Japan, Switzerland etc. The UK has the #2 (or sometimes #1) financial center, ~4 out of the world's top 10 universities, #2 in Nobel prizes after the US, the most books published per capita etc. There's potential there if they sort the bad bits.
I'm pretty critical of my tech's ability to fulfill me exact needs, and the Magic Mouse is fine 98% of the time. The remaining 2% are when I want to play a video game that leverages multiple mouse buttons and a discrete scroll.

Anyone who's played more than five minutes of Unreal Tournament knows full well how essential it is to have distinct physical inputs for primary and secondary fire.

And some of the more outside-the-box RTS input schemes expect me to left-click while holding down the right mouse button.

It may seem like the default Mac mouse is a decades-old grudge against the context menu. But I can understand Apple's motivation in the 80s— ideally, mice shouldn't require more than one button, and if it isn't required, why put the secondary one on a default mouse to begin with?— and in the 90s— when Apple's mere existence became a pure act of defiance. But nowadays, the message they send is, "We're big and successful enough to never have to compromise our the most fundamental ingredient, and if you want more, buy an alternative".
I mean "good" in the sense of long-term achievement of reasonably high quality of life for humanity, without a collapse in human population. (My understanding is that if there are no catastrophes, the current trajectory is expected to level out somewhere around 11 billion. Of course, if we also happen as a species to make radical progress on life extension, that will also have to weigh in to long-term changes in reproductive behaviour, etc.)

Of course we should all do what we can. (I eat less meat than I used to, and don't drive.)
