Interesting response. And spot on from the technical integrity side. It’s also more fair to email providers as a whole to treat them all the same and respect their error messages. I mean, maybe there’s even requirements in some jurisdictions to deal with the address not found error in a specific way. As an email sender I think I’d prefer the message get auto re-sent after Gmail comes back online though.

Unfortunately I don’t think apples had a smooth new OS Release it in some time. This issue was obviously noted with the Big Sur beta roll out where that may be forgiven more readily. But now it’s in the public release. Knowing nothing about the matter I guess I could see how new OS releases break things and how it’s sometimes hard to triage bug reports in a giant organization like Apple. In desktop Linux these sorts of problems are almost a matter of course— I still remember having to drop Arch when I no longer had the time to read every changelog as recommended before evergreen updates. With Ubuntu is easier— just go with LTS and install stuff from source when the packages don’t have what you need. On the other hand Windows didn’t seem to have any of these issues. Not to mention Mac controls the hardware it installed on and Windows had to work on much more diverse hardware. In the end though I think Apple works out its new OS kinks within a few months of release and, even though there ideally wouldn’t be workflow breaking bugs in public releases. You just have to kind of treat the public release as unstable for a few months. Ideally you don’t upgrade before then lest Apple revoke the install signatures from the previous stable release.

Title nitpick but this curriculum is for not just for non traditional hires—

That’s an interesting point, because I guess nothing stopping an author from publishing their book wrapped in an ereader app and getting the commission discount, although they lose some of the market discovery benefit. Different contexts and ecosystems. The tech behind it has very little to do with the business/production and user end use.

Interesting to see this underpinned the Office Help System one way or another— probably being the infamous paperclip.

No good deed goes unpunished. But really, apps and books are apples and oranges. Similar in one regard, both are digital goods, but not in important ones that matter strategically. Apple doesn’t have the stranglehold on ebook reading that they have on apps. For those who don’t know, you can’t buy ebooks on iOS without paying an Apple tax, but as many kindle users know, you can of course buy kindle books via a browser and then read them in the kindle app. Not to mention the work that goes into custom developing an iOS app compared to simply compiling text an editing to whatever format Apple requires.

I want to believe it's an investment myself, but haven't been able to-- and by sitting it out we've of course lost a lot of money in forgone gains.

Where I get stuck, and maybe someone could help me here-- generally, you don't have to try to hard to imagine a future with cryptocurrency being more useful then it is today. That is, it is more valuable. BUT, why should that mean that its price should be higher? It's like looking at the pithy saying, "price is not value" in reverse.

They're not easily comparable (I tried using Cloudflare Workers before going back to AWS). Lambda@Edge runs Node or Python. Cloudflare Workers runs V8 with "worker isolates" which has a few more caveats, an imperfect but improving dev experience, and doesn't work with a lot of npm packages.

Context-- an internal build of Docker runs an Alpine ARM64 container on M1.

There’s some nuance and history to this—- https://www.tokyodev.com/2020/10/01/recruiting-in-japan/

You can implement similar mouse recording via requests for :hover psuedoelements in CSS. Also, I’m not sure you need JS to get fine fingerprinting and tracking in 2020— https://wiki.mozilla.org/Fingerprinting

Same experience here. My Ubuntu laptop accidentally doubled-down on 16gb RAM because I forgot to give it a swap partition (whoops). It hangs maybe once a month under a VS Code, PostgreSQL, FastAPI/Python, React workload. Basically, not annoyingly frequently enough for a lazy person like me to change the partition table. The same workload on my 7 year old Ubuntu desktop with a swap partition on a fast SSD very rarely ever hangs.

Certainly some devs need more than 16gb, but they know who they are. And you know who they are because, well, they love telling you :).

> This was supposedly due to Dr. Tom Shires, the chief of surgery, popularizing the use of intravenous fluids acutely rather than blood transfusions.

I find that comment interesting since current state of the art in trauma resuscitation is transfusing relatively early, based on solid data out of the Iraq war.

To the haters— low-barrier-to-entry tinkering is the sort of thing the raspberry pi is built for. As a semi-practical example use case my raspberry pi 3b runs shairport and pihole in separate docker containers which has been a breeze to configure and has no noticeable slowness. Just being able to try new containers and services without having to worry about messing up your root environment (which would take re imaging the sd card among other things) makes it worth doing for my use. I think if you’re comparing it to a production workload you’re in the wrong ballpark.

I was curious and found the package install scripts nicely organized by name here--

So, I'm somehow developing a pro-Apple bias these days. This whole batterygate to me is kind of based on conjecture-- that Apple slowed old phones with the intention to sell more new ones. If there's any supporting evidence, or anything that's come up in discovery that Apple acted in bad faith, I'd possibly change my (admittedly biased) mind.

But really, slowing the phones down to extend battery life is a reasonable tradeoff and there's just not a preponderance of evidence suggesting Apple acted in its own interests and hurt existing users. The main problem is this "feature" wasn't out in the open, but again, it just doesn't seem that bad to me.

> As soon as the M1 Mac mini arrived, I tore it down to confirm a few things Apple didn't make clear. All M1 Macs come with Thunderbolt 4 ports.

I think there's some nuance and technicality to this, because even though the ports themselves could meet Thunderbolt 4 specs under different conditions, they don't in the current configurations. Apple deliberately calls these "Thunderbolt / USB 4" ports, leaving out the version number from Thunderbolt. One of the requirements of a Thunderbolt 4 port is it can drive 2 4k displays, which Apple is very clear it cannot in the current models. So, that alone makes these not Thunderbolt 4. I don't think anyone's tested the rest of the Thunderbolt 4 features to know which ones are and aren't present.

> Incompatibility with IE11, so you can tell the man upstairs "sorry boss it's out of my hands, blame Tailwind"

For those who don't know, IE11 is the last major release of IE. Between a major frontend framework feeling confident dropping IE, and Apple dropping Intel it kind of feels like the end of an era.

There's some nuance to this. The current most common strain is theoretically the most genetically fit strain. Wide use of vaccines targeting conserved regions of the spike protein almost certainly would result in less genetically fit virus progeny becoming more common by simple selection. But, there's no predicting the virulence of the the less genetically fit strains that will pop up. ie) very deadly viruses aren't necessarily very genetically fit. The short of it is, the resultant strains will probably be less transmissible (the "R" number will decrease), but it's hard to predict their virulence/serverity.

I think consensus is we don't know for sure, but there's reason to be hopeful. SARS-CoV-2 probably won't evolve as fast as the flu, which undergoes a "sexual-like" evolution process called "re-assortment." On the other hand, CoV-2 has "re-combination," which gives similar results, and it does have zoonotic hosts.

From the article's conclusion... "The M1 undisputedly outperforms the core performance of everything Intel has to offer, and battles it with AMD’s new Zen3, winning some, losing some. And in the mobile space in particular, there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent in either ST or MT performance – at least within the same power budgets."

This is the first in-depth review validating all the hype. Assuming the user experience, Rosetta2 things, first generation pains, kernel panics, are all in-check, it's amazing. At this point I'm mostly interested in the Air's performance with its missing fan.

Did you actually read that article? It supports what I said-- we're talking 16+ hours before studies notice any difference at all, and even that difference is disputed. In fact, here's a quote from the article, "The risk of graft failure was small when CIT was shorter than 36h." Simply put, the difference in CIT between 2 hours and 5 hours isn't outweighed by driving 150mph on a public road for 2 hours.

These interim results are about as promising as you could expect, which is frankly amazing given it was developed in a matter of months (depending how you count, Moderna says "2 months"). Ultimately, its effectiveness depends on if and how quickly SARS-CoV-19 and its spike protein evolve resistance. That won't really be known until after widespread deployment and depends both on different factors inherent the virus' replication, its spike protein, host factors and how effectively the vaccine is rolled out.

Assuming this is real, it is absolutely reckless and just not needed for kidneys. They can stay on ice for 24 hours or longer. Nobody ever needed an emergency kidney transplant, thanks to dialysis. Even if a helipad wasn’t on the hospital any clearing would do. And if the weather was too poor you use an ambulance or special transport going at a safer speed, which would still get there with time to spare.

So, this was based on a press release for a presentation made yesterday: https://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/?&_ga=2.241603266.199222... .

They did a meta analysis (summarizing many, many studies) focusing on chili peppers and mortality, and reported the results. What’s interesting in the graphic in the link provided is that the correlation is present in basically every study shown. It’s very strong evidence for a correlation. On the other hand it’s very hard to explain causality without bringing out general terms like “antioxidants” or, possibly much more likely, confounding variables. It would be helpful to look at confounding variables, but those aren’t available yetis the study is not public. Simply put, it’s an interesting presentation but you can’t draw much useful inference without actually seeing the content of the presentation. That and their study has not meant the rigors of a peer-reviewed article yet.

It’s probably close to 50%. 80% of your mass is water and carbon. Hydrogen makes up 10% taken by itself but generally didn’t have a neutron which balances out the comparatives rare bigger elements with more neutrons.

I bookmarked this thread and keep coming back to it to see if any situations would apply to me. I’ve been fine with 16gb on Ubuntu with a Dell XPS 13 for VS Code/Python/PostgreSQL for what most people call CRUD work. Android development has been a little painful with both Android Studio and device emulation slowing things down but still workable. Otherwise I’ve had no problem with web app style work on large projects. Honestly I’d prefer 32gb for those things (and to “future proof”) but I need a Mac dev environment for early 2021 and will probably go with the MacBook Pro 16gb unless the reviews or benchmarks on things I actually do look poor.

It's a decent model but many roads lead to Rome. The smoothest path to wealth is probably a professional career* partnered with a modest lifestyle and heavy savings.

* Really any career, it just needs to involve doing something people want and ideally rewards continuous improvement.

Aedis aegypti go from egg to adult in about a week and lay their eggs in any standing pool of water you can find. Maybe 100 total eggs per female over several broods before they die so it’s not that hard to cultivate millions a day.

Here’s a few examples— https://parasitesandvectors.biomedcentral.com/articles/https...

Do any US taxpayers earn $1 billion annually?

Even if you use a more realistic number and want to focus on the top 0.0000003%, that's very different than taxing people who earn income as a linear function of their hours worked.

It's hard to imagine anyone would keep working for that $400,001th dollar if they only got to keep 16 cents of it. Surgeons, for instance, can literally stop taking patients and go to Aruba when they get near the bend. High-dual income households is another example-- imagine a double-physician household where one of them is taxed at 84%-- they'd save money by one of them not working at all considering daycare expenses.

Actual taxes on the 1% in the 50s weren't really that much higher, despite the marginal rates-- https://taxfoundation.org/taxes-on-the-rich-1950s-not-high/
