cced··on DevHub.app – Developer Utilities for macOS
OP thinks it’s ok to discriminate if China-x is the subject of discrimination, or watches too much anti-CN fear porn which has normalized this type of behavior.
cced··on Groups underpin modern math
Can you expand a bit on what the problem was and what the discussion was like and solution, if possible.

Thanks!

cced··on 10% of Cubans left Cuba between 2022 and 2023
Opinions like these are the reason why this “communism v capitalism” discussion never evolves beyond “them bad us good”.

China is often the target of anti communist propaganda so how do you square that hole? 1# economy when looking at GDP(PPP) so your “analysis” falls short.

Communist “regimes” often have to deal with outside interference from the “superior” capitalist system.

OP’s point is extremely valid: Cuba does not have the right to self determination as other countries impose themselves on them and prevent their economic growth.

The Cuba case is really quite interesting when you compare it to more recent cases of indivisibility of security.

We all have short memories I guess, super heros and cartoon villains.

Never change hn.

cced··on Priced out of home ownership
Right, but when you’re driving 100km/h down the road, hitting a moose will slow you down a whole lot more than a bird.

Is there any discussion in the scaling/proportion of a given facet when these get brought up?

cced··on Apple supplier Foxconn among firms asked to cut power use in Vietnam
Not that I don’t believe you but can you post some sources for all of this? Lots to unpack here..

cced··on 3M executives convinced a scientist forever chemicals in human blood were safe
Surely we could start by not letting people get away with these crimes?

cced··on Department of Justice says Boeing may be criminally liable in 737 MAX crashes
The problem with this type of thinking is that it often assumes externalized costs, and even at that, what price do you put on “I don’t want to use car of brand X because the car maker is doing sus things and people speaking out about it are dying.” ?

Take for instance the recent train derailments. Are the costs of cleanup n>0 if the company can get their lawyers to successfully argue they don’t need to pay it? For the company it’s n=0 but for society it is n>0.

Doing the maths is simpler when you can disregard many factors and leave only the ones that affect your bottom line.

cced··on Chinese EV called the Seagull poses a threat to the US auto industry
You’re assuming those two are separate? Why get certified when the host country imposes a 100% tariff?

I think the period on the line above void my_sandbox.

cced··on PRQL as a DuckDB Extension
Can you share your use of this? I’m interesting in using duckdb and wanted a boost from people with more experience.

Currently playing with postgress and dbt.

cced··on 23andMe is reportedly turning the blame back on its customers
Force them to change their password, prevent use of the account? If it’s a dormant account, force a password reset using email?

Doesn’t feel like an unsolvable problem, certainly not one without edge cases but surely we can hit 80/20 without too big a hassle.

cced··on Apple Watch no longer sold with blood oxygen monitoring after patent battle loss
Are these watching shipping with a FEATURE_BLOOD_OXYGEN=false type thing or did apple remove hardware from watches?

Any hopes of enabling this feature some time down the line? Assuming they didn’t pull hardware out if the watches.

Can you expand on this? What is the current co tender for LLM inference that is ~on par with Apples offerings?
cced··on Tracking developer build times to decide if the M3 MacBook is worth upgrading
This. I’ve routinely got a 10-15GB page file on an M2 pro and need to justify bumping the memory up a notch or two. I’m consistently in the yellow memory and in the red while building.

How can I tell how much I would benefit from a memory bump?

cced··on Generals.io – Capture enemy generals to defeat them
Seriously just post the strategy with a spoiler alert.
cced··on The housing shortage is larger than you think
The irony here is that you’re saying this while providing none of those many things.

Why not add more meat around the bone while criticizing others for not doing so?

Are we in the ‘it’s time to start worrying’ phase? When you think about this more and more often, which I personally am, what types of discussions should we start having?
