Anyone care to ELI5 please?

Not the op, but not all vegans have animal cruelty as their primary concern. Many do it for health reasons and avoid ingesting animal proteins in general, regardless of how they were produced.

I understand the point of view, but aside from the analogue vs. digital debate of passing double blind tests of final output, in my personal experience the real big difference is in real-time when the sound is being produced. The subtleties of latency and transient responses, microphonic feedback, and distortion while playing are what make tubes preferable for audio. I suppose it’s not unlike comparing driving a Tesla and a rear-wheel drive combustion engine car - the outcomes can certainly be similar, but the process is vastly different.

The 12ax7 and ecc83 / el84s are still commonly used in guitar amps. It’s fascinating how different manufacturers versions of the 12ax7 affects tone and transients.

Audio and Video work will take all the transistors you can throw at it. Things like GarageBand and 3rd party software synthesizers can easily max out even latest gen iPad Pros. Not to mention games…

Especially when factories and megastructures already exist. A key theme here is reclaim/reuse/repurpose.

My initial instinct was that the extreme temps of summer/winter would be the bigger lifespan shortener, but I suppose dust would start killing fans and clogging air intakes compounding the temperature problems.

Tying your app to the fs isn’t that bad if the fs is flexible and portable enough such as zfs having the ability to use plain files.

Doesn’t seem much worse than tying it to a particular database or API

You have to learn the rules in order to properly break them.

Looking at the numbers, both iPad and Mac sales exceeded estimates, iPhone was inline.

Seems likely a lot of this came from laptop and iPad sales for work-from-home, and home education respectively, as opposed to frivolous luxury consumer spending.

I didn’t realize nvidia had that much cash to play with.

The only reason I can think of for Apple not to scoop them is to avoid attracting antitrust enforcement.

Are there consumer tech product companies that have longer support cycles?

Agreed. In matrix/synapse, even with e2e enabled the server gets a ton of metadata, including presence info. Also the identity server exposes quite a bit.

Nice self-fulfilling prophecy!

This tool seems to be the first foray into the second ‘E’.

By “non-cloud based email system” you mean anything that isn’t gmail via a web browser?

I regularly access my “non-cloud based email systems” from 8 different devices.

Sort of irrelevant if you don’t own either end.

They are generally vastly more nutrient dense than the non-wild variants.

“I do it for the human culture as well as for the agriculture”

A beautiful sentiment that the world would be much better off if more food producers shared.

FWIW the ability to send a SIGUSR2 to reload certs has been there for awhile.

An envvar with a fallback of read -s might be the best compromise?

I’ll happily accept any wireframes you may have that wouldn’t increase friction beyond the typical “choose your username and password”.

You may be overestimating the typical non-hackernews user. It’s at least as challenging as getting users to use things like 2fa and/or recovery codes.

> The biggest downside(?) of this approach

I tried this approach for a service awhile back, and the biggest hurdle was educating the users. Even determining what to call it was a huge challenge, as it’s clearly not a ‘username’.

Thank you. The systems approach does seem to be the only way to meaningful impact.

“Simply” automating the existing systems doesn’t seem the right approach either.

Do you see any other areas in addition to mechanization that tech can be valuable?

In other words, are there problems that software alone can help solve or is it simply down to replacing some of the manual labor with robotics and smarter machines?

Plan9 is the future past.

This is a similar sentiment to “only dumb people get phished”. No one is really immune, you can only limit your exposure.

I wasn’t intending to imply that he or the new deal were good or bad, just how I interpreted the history.

I’ve yet to find a US president that I would classify as benevolent, honest, or worthy of exaltation.

Haha. That’s a funny but minor example.

I was referring more to the socialist aspects - taxing corporations and wealthy individuals, the social security program, unemployment and welfare, workers rights, financial regulations, etc.

My opinion is that FDR didn’t really love any of those things, but saw a potential for widespread social unrest, and tried to mitigate that by working out a deal with the oligarchy.

This lead to the terms “liberal” and “conservative” defining the 2 parties and seems to have laid the groundwork of the extreme bifurcation we experience today.

One way to measure the impact of the New Deal, whether or not it caused the end of the depression, is to look at all the time, money, and political effort that has been and continues to be spent to systemically dismantle everything it put in place.

It basically defined the agenda and focus of the Republican Party from then until now.
