tales against flying? you forget daedalus who made it out just fine sans a son. icarus’s problem was that he overstepped his limits, not that he dared to fly.

from what I’ve seen tales against a search for immortality are in regards to enjoy life while you have it, make relations, laugh, love, mourn, and remember, rather than have your entire life consumed in a desperate attempt to postpone the end, sucking all the joy out of it. we still have a long ways to go to avoiding death entirely, so I’d figure the best course of action is to enjoy life rather than to waste it in hopes of getting some extra time.

Apple is a large company. The people making those videos do not also work on Messages.
Bluetooth is also turned on after every OS update. I don't understand why macOS does these. They can't be bugs because they have been around for years.

Hopefully my story will help you with your situation, I know how it feels. I’m 30, need double hip replacements as I’ve got no cartilage anymore, tumours in my bone etc etc.

I couldn’t run, I sometimes couldn’t walk. People used to think I was a personal trainer because I was so fit. Diagnosis was 5 years ago.

Went through grief/trauma getting diagnosed with arthritis.

Now 5 years later, from just walking shorter distances more often and processing the grief, I’m back at the gym and started soccer and ran for the first time in ages. Felt very weird but I just work within my limits. I also cycle at least 30 minutes of intense cycling 6 days a week.

You’ll learn to adapt and adjust, it does get better, you just have to become a child again and approach it differently.

I ultimately will still need joint replacements at some point in the next few years, but I’ve had a complete mindset shift. My current goal is to become even fitter than my previous state.
I worked at Apple on Mac OS X until 2008. For QA, Bertrand believed in a lightweight touch, with dedicated QA staffing only at the top of the stack (plus a few key places like the filesystem), with the idea that any bugs will bubble up and be found through real-world usage. Most QA was informal, through heavy dogfooding.

You felt a real sense of ownership to the thing that you worked on. You worked hard and fixed bugs because it felt like it mattered, because you thought about how e.g. your mom would end up using the product, and also Steve Jobs would see it, so it had to be great. Also, teams were small. Something would involve only 1-2 people, and then we would look over at Redmond and they'd have dozens of people working on the same thing. The need-to-know secrecy was not just for PR value; it helped keep circles of communication tight, cutting out a lot of noise, so you could just focus. The organization was stable (and relatively flat, around 5 levels from junior engineer to SJ). I think in my 9 years or so there, there were no major reorgs. Avie phased himself out and retired, and Bertrand moved up. The only major disruption was when the iPhone project happened.

Release cycles were annual. Throughout most of the release cycle, it was pretty free up to each team and engineer to decide what to work on and how to prioritize it. Near the end of a release, it would get more and more strict on what you were allowed to change, up to the point where Bertrand sometimes would even ask to see code diffs.

I don't really know what is going on over there now. They have moved to a more agile approach, with more frequent integration checkpoints. In theory this should be better, but I suspect there's less sense of ownership and more of a feeling of a software factory. But it's probably mostly to do with the fact that the systems are way more complex, both the tech and the org, with way more moving parts. Even the programming language itself (Swift) is a moving target. I know (from talking to friends) there's a lot more politics and career-building going on, the kind of corporate douchebaggery that would not have been tolerated under Steve Jobs. People are thinking about RSUs and their promotions, rather than the products.

Ultimately, I think it boils down to this observation by jwz at Netscape, that there's "two kinds of people: those who want to go work for a company to make it successful, and those who want to go work for a successful company." Post-iPhone, Apple has filled up with the latter. A majority of the people at Apple now didn't work there under SJ, and the senior management who did experience that is now aging and retiring. At least from the outside, as a customer and end-user, it feels obvious that the founder-led product-obsessed culture is gone.
Perhaps, but e.g. LSEG had 8B in revenue last year and Euronext had less than 2B.

I'd be interested to know about specific numbers you're thinking of, if you can share a link or two.

I'll point out some higher order impacts of this, since the article doesn't: Losing these forecasts will be catastrophic for American farmers. Crops literally live and die on weather forecasts; forecasts tell farmers what to plant, when to plant it, how to plant it, how to water it, and when to harvest it. Without these forecasts we will see negative effects on the entire American agricultural industry and all of the people it feeds, US citizens or not. I'm not a farmer myself, so I can't tell you exactly how severe the impact will be, but there will be an impact, whether it's an immediate crop failure and outright famine this year or "only" shockwaves bouncing through our entire economy as farmers plant the wrong crops and go out of business over the next few years. This is one of the scenarios I've been most worried about when it comes to the stability of human civilization, up there alongside the looming specter of nuclear war and the randomisation of US foreign policy.

Things are not black and white. People who are starting a family and buying a house will typically contemplate a long time on when it's the right time to buy. It's natural that financial aspects play a part in that equation (expectation of having a job, expectation of housing market going up or down, etc.)
Even if they did have their own networks, you'd just get what NTL (now Virgin Media) did in the 90s: build a few tiny networks in the most profitable places. There probably wouldn't even be rail in the Highlands or Wales.
Yes, even if you don't go full custom, now you can get pretty good keyboards with light key action and good switches.

I have a couple of mechanical keyboards, but my workhorse keyboard is a Logitech MX Keys Mini, which has scissor switches, and while it's not crisp as a good mechanical, it's a great keyboard which you can type all day without any problems. Considering it has lighting, hall and ambient sensors, you can charge it every couple of months and type all day long.

I also don't fancy multi-layer layouts, but I use text expanders for boilerplate, and that's good enough for me, for now.
I agree the imposed embargo re advanced chips between Taiwan and China undermines Taiwan's national security but this contradicts the earlier point that China doesn't care at all about chips.

There is a plan being realized here: Putin's.

Well, they did vehemently deny it was part of their plan.

I wasn't someone who believed their denials, but yes, some people will be surprised by this.

They probably won't believe it's happening even while it's happening.
Ooh, there's no bread, let them eat cake.
Elections happen at the margins. Most Trump voters are Trump voters regardless of anything. But inflation is what moves the marginal vote. It's what motivates higher turnout on one side vs the other, for example.

Dems performed well among the people that benefited from inflation -- boomers who owned homes and the college educated who own assets.

Republicans performed well among the people who were harmed the most by it. Hispanics, and those without college degrees.

Incumbents everywhere, left or right wing, are falling because of inflation.
So it’s like those late 90s ActiveX IE iframes in Windows programs all over again? That sucks. iTunes did seem to have some of it too in the Store section.
Sure people have written about it but the LLM is only returning text that’s already been written with zero reasoning.

What solution architects, devops engineers, etc get paid for is their experience.

There is a saying that goes “the devil is in the detail” and that applies here. Everytime someone says “I created x using AI” it’s because they’ve been able to feed the LLM pointed questions and have been able to understand when the LLM was rattling off nonsense.

And your counter argument there still falls back to the “writing every bit of code” which I’ve already said is the easy part of software development.

I’m sure at some point AI will be able to reason about problems but that’s when they shift from being specialised AI to AGI. And I don’t for one second believe we are as nearly as close to AGI as Sam Altman wants his investors to believe.

> The Bureaucracy intentionally read the executive order on gender in a broad and absurd way.

I think Trump's biggest stunt is to convince almost half of American voters is that the cause of their financial problems is not the broken system (of financing higher education and healthcare) nor the top rich people who get richer whereas the poor become poorer, but some magic "Bureaucracy" - basically people like you and me, some of which at some point decided to serve their country rather than get a job in private sector for more money.

I saw this rhetoric of common enemy before, but I never believed people would be gullible enough to believe it. (I say this as a person who believes that periodic review and improvement of functioning of all infrastructure is crucial, but the way you do it is decisive.)
> Taiwan is composed of the refugee losers of the Chinese civil war

By this logic China should be returned to the winners of the Opium Wars [1]. No countries for losers! (To say nothing of the CCP’s inaction against Imperial Japan in WWII [2].)

Anyone can come up with reasons for stealing stuff based on decades, centuries or millennia-old gripes. What matters is where the people alive today live and how they identify. For good reason, the Taiwanese have been drifting away from China since Xi.

It may not be perfect, but the alternatives I've tried have so far been even worse. I have a Windows 11 gaming PC, and oh boy that is an OS that deliberately tries to give you a bad day, and Linux ... well, if you don't want config tinkering to replace your day job then it's simply not something usable for most modern hardware as it doesn't even have a display server that actually works well (Wayland breaks almost all Electron apps, which is like, most apps these days, and makes X11 apps look tiny and horrible due to the clusterfuck that is fractional scaling on Linux) and for some reason every now and again my vanilla Linux install simply just crashes. It has also borked itself mid video call for reasons unclear. Definitely not an OS I'd like to use for any professional work since it seems to have the stability of Win 2000.
Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Philippines Singapore are mentally invested in the issue around the China Sea and the spratleys. Their defence forces are going to help, and Australia and New Zealand.

I don't like talking up a defensive war, but I also don't like defeatist thinking. I prefer we confront than give in, and I am confident there is a regional understanding in. ASEAN to mount a defence. And China knows it.
Your favourite job board will have a tag for Ada. There are jobs out there. Some in lower level things like finance, reliability testing, embedded software. Some in higher level things like gaming, AI, web services.

There are fewer, and they do tend to be more demanding, but they certainly exist.
But who says they are flaws? I only believe in fixing self-accepted flaws.

Eg if someone can’t handle alcohol -> don’t drink

Fat? Eat less and exercise

ADHD? Get medicated and embrace the condition and understand it

I think you can pick and choose to work on your flaws. I certainly am after a life event, but sometimes it requires an external strong force to make you realise you want to change for the better
I think Go is fine for application development (any stuffs that runs on top of OS).

But for system programming, which is generally understood as developing OS kernel (filesystem, memory management, device driver etc) or embedded which you built a mini OS), then Go is not the proper choice (features like coroutine, AFAIK, needs OS). You'd want C/Pascal/Rust/Zig/<what else?> ...

When I finish a notebook, I scan it, file it and recycle the paper.

I can understand the value of a good digital data storage. At the end of the day, I keep public and private personal knowledge bases for myself. However, I don't like to spread my information over many applications, and currently shrinking everything into a couple of tools. See, decades of computer use creates a lot of clutter.

On the other hand, I don't like to keep notes under the sun on a screen which needs a shade, and powered by a battery which might die any second. We're also different in noise regard. While I like to read and listen a lot, I much prefer silent walks since it allows what's beneath to surface.

This will be a bit personal, but you seem like a bit tense. Maybe you should slow down a bit, and listen what your inner voice says to you. I have a hunch that there's something you should see and give a good listen.
Ironically, I have the reverse opinion.
Trump is Putin's agent, but Musk is just sabotaging everything, including himself, for no apparent reason at all.
Best case scenario a couple trillion more are printed to bail out the farmers.
This is the only optimistic view I've heard on the subject. But it seems similar to other wishful thinking along the lines of this gutting of a federal agency / this realignment of foreign policy / etc. is just for show, surely the actual nuts and bolts of American policy and governance will continue functioning somewhere. Surely they don't actually want to hand over national security to the Russians. Right?

> No one is building a natural gas plant to staff it and let it sit idle for 95% of the time. The natural gas burned is only a fraction of its input costs.

Serious question: why do you think that’s true? If it costs X per year to run it 5% of the year and you save more than X with this strategy, then the maths is simple and someone will build it. Several energy companies could probably be convinced to each pay a share so no one is left footing the whole bill but everyone benefits from the existence of the facility. If the maths works, potentially even some of the cost could be passed on to the taxpayer.

In the UK we already have a couple of facilities that operate exactly like this, Cruachan for example (it’s not gas, it’s water). Over the years, ways to improve its utilisation have been found, but it’s still sitting there at a relatively low portion of its capacity so that it can black start the grid if it’s ever needed.
> Taiwan has most of its trade with China (like it or not).

Does that make it a place for shady deals?

> There are numerous things that are e.g. illegal in China but "legal" in Taiwan and so Chinese business is conducted there e.g. online gambling sites

Gambling is illegal in Taiwan

> Then there are plenty of Taiwanese companies that end up being a disguise for China 1 way or another e.g. to bypass sanctions (well so is Singapore as per recent news on nvidia gpu smuggling). 1 of the best examples is VIA technologies, that helped China create x86 CPUs back in the days.

You can notice that pattern with conservatives again and again and again. They talk about what they do. Those who read it and believe them are labeled crazy paranoid and polite people are expected to euphemism it.

Even now, when I read news, they euphemism and undersell.
