I'm a dabbler in Go, far from an expert. But I'm not familiar with a capability to use, say, native MacOS platform libraries from a go app that I'm compiling in Windows/Linux without using a VM of some sort to compile it. If that's possible I'd love to learn more.

I love when prop design goes above and beyond like this - working dials/gauges just look incredible. So cool that a project like this can come together in just 6 weeks.

Using Rider on an Macbook Air M2 (24 GB RAM) -- admittedly, pretty small/simple code-bases for the most part. Great performance. Only issues come when I need a lot of docker containers running too, especially if they're not ARM images. With that I don't notice performance issues - but the battery drain is noticeable at that point.

For what it’s worth, I think the contact bug you mention is fixed, at least in latest iOS (18.3.1).

The Mac App Store (and all of Apple's App Stores) doesn't enable this sort of licensing. It's exactly the sort of thing that drives a lot of developers to independent distribution.

That's why we see so many more subscription-based apps these days, application development is an ongoing process with ongoing costs, so it needs to have ongoing income. But the traditional buy-it-once app pricing doesn't enable that long-term development and support. The app store supports subscriptions though, so now we get way more subscription-based apps.

I really think Siracusa came up with a clever pricing scheme here, given his want to use the app store for distribution.

Man that Christmas playing KOTOR was phenomenal. First game I remember beating and immediately restarting to see the other storylines. Christmas cookies for sure enhances the experience.

It idles down to 2.7w. Obviously it's not a desktop class system still, even when consuming its max rated power draw. But it idles low enough to be a fantastic little local server for simple applications.

> The audience here skews towards those the truth.

The truth is that this sentence is believed by every audience ever convened.

> "That's not impressive, that's what the vast majority of people do."

The vast majority of people don’t have to endure someone with an audience of millions falsely claiming their murdered children were part of a government conspiracy. Under those circumstances, many might be driven to retaliate violently. It’s a testament to these individuals' strength and restraint that they pursued justice through the legal system instead.

MUBI[0] is another streaming service that's focusing on curation and smaller lists of films available. Their service is available in a lot of countries, and each region has its own curation.

I'm a huge fan of this ultra-curated approach, since it lets me find a lot of things that I'd otherwise have to hunt for, and would likely miss out on.

What delineates it as an idiot product? There aren't exactly a ton of alternative 5k displays on the market. Dell and LG have some 5120x1440 options, but only Apple has a 5120x2880 option as far as I can find.

Looks like they don't have the color-matched options for individual purchase, but the b/w trackpad, keyboard, and at least 1 keyboard variant are available.

I can't believe Bloomberg still hasn't retracted that article. As other commenters have indicated - it has never in any way been corroborated.

I'm curious if anyone working in smaller teams (say, <6 devs) has found it worthwhile to try to standardize some of the git process. Larger teams I've worked in have tended to have some standards we're following - but the times I've worked on smaller teams it's tended to be

I think if I were starting a team for scratch it's likely something I'd establish from the beginning - commit message guidelines, PR requirements, squash/rebase/merge standards. But I've only ever come into teams that have been working on the product for at least a year - and it's never seemed worth the 'political capital' to wrangle the team into a new standard for it.

I've tended to opt for doing things the way I think is right given that we aren't following a standard anyways - and pointing to the benefits of it when they come up.

Consider the spectrum:

Absolute border security - it is literally impossible by land/sea/air/tunnel to cross into the US territory from Mexico without rapid detection and response.

...

Open border - the US does not impede general traffic from Mexico, bringing certain goods remains illegal but enforcement of this is limited to additional penalties after apprehension.

We are pretty far from both of those right now. I don't think the person you initially replied to was arguing for an open border. But surely it's not an ideal use of resources to stop all of these border based crimes in real time?

Most people are not crossing illegally. Those that do are going to have to actively evade those consequences as long as they continue an unpermitted stay. How much of our GDP should we spend to move "up" that spectrum? What benefits are we gaining by doing so? What consequences do we face?

I think it's simply that Godel's incompleteness theorem had strong, foundation-shaking implications outside the context of mathematics alone. Philosophy and science were greatly affected.

The yearly performance post by Toub is one of my favorite things about the modern .NET ecosystem. More languages and systems deserve this kind of in-depth performance explanation.

Phoenix already has a lot of the infrastructure and regulation in place thanks to Intel. And the consistent dry climate is a perk for fabrication. ASM, who works closely with TSMC, has an HQ just up in Scottsdale. Water recycling is a pretty simple problem for fab designers/engineers to deal with compared to the problems they're institutionally dedicated to.

There's a lot of attempts at investigating those questions. Here's a couple of pages I'd recommend to peruse:

If you're into podcasts at all, I'd strongly recommend Crash Course Pods: The Universe. The first (full) episode goes into detail on that first fraction of a second in our universe and it's pretty enlightening without being to thick on the math.

Yes, there’s a sizable mountain of evidence linking smoked meat consumption with cancers. Enough that the WHO called out smoked meats in their processed meat cancer linkage reports:

Here’s research as far back as the 1980s on the subject:

Can you recommend some of the better examples of the system these days?

I've played some Monster of the Week and read up on Dungeon World. I've played D&D regularly since 2008. I like the idea of the PBTA system but I've had a hard time justifying leading people into PBTA games since D&D seems to have such a larger ecosystem.

I'd like to take another stab at PBTA games, hoping that looking through a system or two that you thin is a good example of the system might inspire me to pick up a game!

The beginning of the book has some definitions that may have proved helpful. Childs wasn't exactly cooking with a thermometer.

> "A very slow boil, when the liquid is hardly moving except for a bubble at one point, is called to simmer, mijoter."

You'll typically find that when a water-based liquid is bubbling like described it's somewhere between 160-180 F. Stews can typically be simmered in an oven at anywhere from 250-300 depending on your oven - so a simple way is to use your oven to keep it simmering. The key is to mind it - pay it some attention to make sure that it doesn't start boiling.

Glad you were able to find that temp definition through other means though!

You're not asking, but in case anyone is curious - the Nicolas Cage shot is from Con Air.

Hopefully once it's rescheduled federally in the US, we'll get medical research rolling! Having it as Schedule I has really hindered progress.

It's been in beta for a year. There's been plenty of community discussion in that time, mostly around testing the feature. It was only after the release that all this outrage happened.

Assuming you're talking about ProRAW, it's not proprietary or a closed format. They're just DNG files that adhere to the DNG 1.6 standard.

Former barista, it _is_ an unusual order from the perspective behind the bar. Unusual in that I never have heard of someone ordering a warmed cold brew.

I'm not certain how I'd warm it up. I suppose it could be poured into a clean frothing pitcher and steamed directly, I'd somewhat worry that might dilute the flavor of the coffee.

I don't reckon someone's going to want me to microwave their cold brew, but it certainly seems like it'd be the quickest way to do it.

Most cafe workers get into flows of orders. Lattes means you always pump syrups into the cup, start the pour, then steam milk. Cold coffees usually means you ready the cup (syrups, milk) and pour the cold brewed coffee onto it.

Warming the cold brew totally breaks that flow, and is why it would be unexpected.

Hope that perspective helps. I do want to try it now though! I could imagine it being pretty good.

When you're in public what taps are you drinking from?

TIL! I grew up hearing about it so much from the broader guitar community that I just took it as truth.

The idea holds across many acoustic instruments though.

I think this is just another point of frustration with trying to define timbre. There's definitely some points directly under control: attack and brightness come to mind. Then there's some that are less directly under control: the room and the instrument itself.

It's no accident that musicians spend a lot of money on instruments -- even electric guitar players -- an instrument that is electronically amplified and often distorted and otherwise augmented -- will have strong feelings about the particular type of guitar they use. Leaving shape-based decisions out of it (and pickups), hollow bodies are going to produce a different sound than solid. Different wood types will produce different tonal characteristics.

So the things that are directly controlled are less like terroir, more like choice of grape used maybe? While the make of the instrument, the shape of the room a recording was made in, these are much more like terroir I think.

But it's probably just not a great metaphor.
