Then please forgive I was triggered on their introductory expression "Raw SQL is great for simple queries, (...)"

I understand your point but I'm not sure it's efficiency to use an ORM that abstract the easy stuff away from the programmer but rely on expert level knowledge to solve what remain. Because at this point the developer that build everything with an ORM will either: - Face complexs SQL query that he'll have to build from the ground up by summoning expert SQL skills they probably haven't use for a while - Seek external help from an SQL expert than doesn't know how the system was build in the first place*

If you know you'll need database specific SQL optimizations on complex query in the end, I guess using SQL everywhere could also make sense. Same language and code logic from simple to complex query and a complexity gradient in between.

*I guess same point could be made about vibe coding actually.

Just mix tab and space indents and swap them randomly before each commit in git. Especially around Christmas time this will generate colorful diff for reviewers!

Sorry for the burn, but you managed to contradict yourself mid writting (or maybe you used an AI that messed up your point?)

Raw SQL is great for simple queries, but gets old quick when you are dealing with "higher order" parameterized queries (...)

The sweet spot is an ORM that embraces dropping down into raw SQL where needed {...)

So basically you said that ORM are great only for the sweet spot of "mildy complex query". Because Raw SQL is great for simple query, and can be invoked when the ORM is not enough for highly complex query.

So I'd stick with my strategy of mastering raw SQL. I never felt the need of switching tool specifically for mildy difficult query. These are usually boring repetitive stuff than you can usually abstract away with a stored procedure (or in a external parametrized SQL script if your development guideline is to avoid storing any business logic in the database)

PS : But of course ORM is still very relevant if your application aim to be compatible with different database vendors and you are ok to never optimize query yourself directly beyond what your ORM vendor can provide.

But this also mean you are not consulted on some critical configuration choice and that you are left alone wondering what to do next.

Earliest Macintoshs in the 1990 launched a tutorial on first boot until you explicitly finished or skipped it. This was a wonderful experience as a kid and still warm my heart today thinking back of it.

Today's Mac only display "tips", "what's new" after first boot or major update because people are generally more computer literate. But (unless Liquid Glass changed that too) they never gave on this mantra that the OS should guide newcomers.

So yeah I think Linux distro have room to do better.

Although it appear stupid, maybe an OS level endorsement of user age is actually a more reasonable middle ground than delegating mandatory age verification to data brokers...

It still parents that usually buy the computers and set up the différents user accounts. So the responsibilities would be put back in their hands as machine owners to correctly tag kid's accounts. OS vendors would then only be responsible to accurately transmit this declarative information to requesting App/services.

Of course some smart kids are gonna find a way to bypass that (as any other mesure you can imagine, because kids are smart). But nonetheless we could have a good enough OS level declarative age for 95% uses cases and send to the trashbin all the age verification creep that is the current trend.

The key mistake you make is to believe that "first world" is sustainable by it's own. A lot of people are hired today because they are good at a physical tasks, globalized capitalism just decided that it's cheaper to manufacture it overseas (with all the environmental and societal downsides that hit us back in the face).

So don't worry if we lure ourlselves that it's ok to stop caring for "intelligence job" globalization will provide for every aspect where AI is lacking. And that's not just a figure of speech they are already plenty of "fake it until you make it" stories about AI actually run by overseas cheap laborers.

The system you describe is already implemented at least on this French independent media "Arrêt sur Images". Subscribers can vote to gift articles to the public.

(I'll link Wikipedia as a proxy to avoid HN hug of DDOS https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arr%C3%AAt_sur_images English version has not been updated so recently)

Unless I misunderstood your workflow Forgejo Agit approach mentioned in OP might already cover that.

You can push any ref not necessarily HEAD. So as long as you send commit in order from a rebase on main it should be ok unless I got something wrong from the doc?

No it's a core misunderstanding of the commenters (and AI ads placement). The quote is biased because it miss the next part of Asimov's essay.

Orwell was unable to conceive of computers or robots, or he would have placed everyone under non-human surveillance. Our own computers to some extent do this in the IRS, in credit files, and so on, but that does not take us towards 1984, except in fevered imaginations. Computers and tyranny do not necessarily go hand in hand. Tyrannies have worked very well without computers (consider the Nazis) and the most computerised nations in today's world are also the least tyrannical.

Ok for that last sentence guess we'll have to check if what was true in 1980 still is in 2020's.

Guess it's true unless you have a company issued phone that is managed. But then maybe it's less shocking as long as you are allowed to totally turn it off outside work hours.

On the other side being I needed to make some compromises with my life partner and we ended up buying a pair HomePod mini (because stereo was a hard line for me).

They do sound pretty much ok for very discreet objects compared to tower speaker. I only occasionally rant when sound skip a beat because of WiFi or other smart-assery. (Nb: of course I never ever activated the smart assistant, I use them purely as speakers).

It won't solve for people that only own an iOS device but setting up a Time Machine backup is aggressively recommended by OS level notifications for every macOS users.

A simple usb hard drive will actually do, no need for a NAS. The only action required to implement proposed solution is to check "Keep all data on this Mac" in both photos and iCloud Drive settings. And to be extra cautious add a second backup drive from another vendor (to be extra extra cautious don't use Time Machine for the second drive).

For the specific case of thoses that don't have a big enough internal drive they might need to store data on an external drive. But if you do have 6TB of pictures you normally should ask yourself if a RAID1 or RAID6 is not warranted at this stage.

In conclusion it's not a binary decision there is lot of room between "I solely rely on the cloud" and "never trust the cloud".

Well your experience is maybe more based on your friend behavior than on an absolute rule.

This is the same for absolutely every manufactured goods. The same durable car model will be kept for over a decade by some people while some other opt for a leasing plan that guarantee a new car every two years. But the intrinsic quality of the car remain unaffected.

To ponder this you must consider what become of the phone they replace : did they trash it or did they have a second life with a less edgy owner?

Either that or the next generation will develop multitasking abilities we cannot even comprehend as we become the sour elders.

Kids this days...

And the obligatory https://xkcd.com/1227/

Every hardware have it's limitations, my DSLR don't fit in my pocket for instance. But that wouldn't be a fair point when comparing photo quality against a smartphone.

Comparing quality with non equivalent focal lengths is as pertinent as to mount a fisheye on the DSLR (because you can!) and then claim that the smartphone have less distortion.

I applaud your great prose. This metaphor is so powerful and yet viscerally painful!

Well you actually make a point for short reaction standardized support.

You won't be able to alter behavior of everyone around you. So at least the software should render these interactions in the least obnoxious way by being consistent on both side.

You will always be able to ask for textual clarification. But the big win is that you won't be bothered by sub-par quoting repost.

The Apple security paper describe how to disable ADP through a key rotation sequence.

This will be a "forced rotation", they just need to decide how to communicate to users and work out what happens to those who don't comply. Lockout until key rotation look like an option as someone said.

However, most of current fremium games are precisely based on this model (Fortnite, LoL, TF2, most of mobile games, etc...)

The service is subsidized by "whale players" that regularly spend a lot of cash, but they are a lot of freeloaders (to entertain the whales and to build brand popularity).

The scariest part is probably the user-base ready to purchase such an App. The demo gif literally showcase "Jenn*Nud*.jpg" as an example..

In refining 163037:2F8AF2 (Kingsport) in 00h 04m 55s 807ms I have brought glory to the company. Praise Kier. 1⃣0⃣2⃣3⃣6⃣ 2⃣5⃣6⃣0⃣1⃣ 2⃣4⃣7⃣4⃣1⃣ 6⃣9⃣6⃣3⃣2⃣ 4⃣6⃣2⃣4⃣8⃣ #mdrlumon #severance lumon-industries.com

One upside is that it hopefully prevented developer to ship half-baked software that rely on filename and can't handle duplicate name gracefully.

You can't prevent collisions (multiples sources/counter reset/date reset, etc). So it's actually nice to have an unforgiving standard that will bite you if you make unfounded assumptions.

It's pretty standard practice for all cameras manufacturers to use a basic incremental filename. Many more useful data are embedded in jpeg exif metadata.

On the contrary including a date in the filename could be perceived as user hostile because none of the multiple iso representations (or non iso) is universally used and understood by the general public.

Eg : 20241112, 1112024, 1211024, 131208, 081213 and so on...

I guess not in final release, but security researchers used the developer beta, probably with some verbose mode enabled.

It's probably more of a tradeoff.

This longer delay won't prompt hectic headlines about users angry about random reboot, it is long enought so federal agencies won't publicly react and plea Trump for their backdoor again, and it is a low profile update that won't necessarily be noticed beside tech circles thus "small fry" bad actors won't know how to correctly cover their back.

A user hostile design would have been to never implement it in the first place. It's basically Apple's signature to choose generic default value and don't bother the user (for the better and sometimes the worse).

M3 and M4 is not there because the Asahi Teams have a roadmap and stick to it.

They don't want to leave M1/M2 half botched before moving on to the next gen that will ultimately support more features.

If you are not happy with the pace go on and contribute, but don't invent false issues.

And yet I see more Game available for steamdeck than for apple Silicon... Maybe because porting as opposed to emulating requires action on developer side.

And this is especially true for existing game that "aren't worth porting" but are still fun to play. (Is there a Vulkan to Metal / OpenGL to Metal in Gaming toolkit? is it the NexStep?)

There is actually a sweet spot here for Valve that could benefit everyone:

  - Valve as a necessary third party

  - Gamers to access a wider catalog

  - Apple so they don't have to bother developing a porting process for old games

Nothing is barring Apple from supporting Vulkan natively on MacOS. This is essentially the closing statement of Alyssa Rosenzweig´s talk.

With Apple knowledge of internal documents they are the best positioned to produce an even better low level implementation.

At this point the main blockroad is the opinionated point that Metal porting is the only official supported way to go.

If Valve pull up a witch-crafted way to run AAA games on Mac without Apple support that would be an interesting landscape. And maybe would force Apple to re-consider their approach if they don't want to be cornered on their own platform...

Are you sure about your point?

From what I had in mind, notarization is only done developer side before publishing. Client side it's just a check against Apple certificates to verify that the binary haven't been tampered since notarization, no phoning home should be involved. (Or maybe just to update Apple certificates).

Proposing new competing hypothesis is the very nature of scientific progress.

Dark matter and cords theory are still imperfect working draft compared to other paradigms.

Unless you can link to a systematic study proving the CCC+TL is flawed there is no guarantee you are on the good side of scientific progress. Flat earthers where once convinced they were not on the side of crackpotery.
