Conveniently, clicking through to the actual data returns a 404.

That first chart isn’t even trying to hide that is fake. It’s depicting a perfect mirroring.

The post isn’t claiming perfection. It’s claiming production ready. Very different things.

The confusion there is the claim that good/perfect means done. It means ready for use and extensible.

Note: I’m not agreeing/disagreeing with the claim. Just clarifying the point

Hey now, they aren’t Nazis. Nazis at least believe in something, even if it’s something terrible.

To answer disassociating you. You had help. That’s how.

There should 1(5), and preferably only 1(5), really obvious way(s) to do it.

This isn’t 32000 in 1 wave, though. This is ~2500 a year over 13 years. Even the answers given at the beginning of the study could have changed wildly if the same people had been polled at the end. And even if not, 4 people per city is not representative of an entire city at any given moment of time.

What demographics in China did they poll each year? Did they poll people of different racial profiles? Did they poll uyhgurs? Were the candidates selected randomly or were the assigned by the government? If the latter, were they coached or paid? Any number of things could throw off that study.

That is by far the least satisfying study I’ve ever heard. 32000 people surveyed over 13 years. That’s essentially 3.5 people per city in China. How are we to take that as a valid survey?

I’d certainly be interested in how those Harvard studies were accomplished what with much of China not being on the Internet. 95 percent certainly sounds high.

Not sure if you’re suggesting that it’s a problem of knowing the language or sarcastically saying that Node.js allows for developers to not know what’s happening.

On the case that you’re thinking it’s a knowledge of the language issue, that’s not what I’m getting at. Typically, what I see with full stack developers is an over reliance on frameworks to do the heavy lifting to the detriment is their skill sets. Often not knowing how to optimize DB queries or trouble shoot performance problems. This works fine in purely CRUD use cases, but falls apart when scaling using more complex patterns starts to occur. I’ve spoken with Sr and staff full stack developers that truly believe the only thing you need to do in order to scale a web app is add nodes.

I’ve worked with my fair share that were front end devs that didn’t understand the backend, too

Those are the days “I only went in for 1 or 2 (20 as it turns out) things”

Hope this is satirical, cause otherwise I hate to say it but you’re also a boomer.

It’s not hip to hate on things.

On Windows and Mac, you are doing a number of things implicitly that you don’t realize.

When you download from their site, you are expected to verify the integrity and validity of the install file yourself. You also have to take ownership of installing any dependencies yourself.

With the instructions mulvad is providing you, you are connecting to a repo and apt does all that for you.

Some installs don’t require dependencies, but some do. Long term, this style of install tends to be a lot simpler, you just have to learn it.

But more importantly and as others have stated. Linux is different. If you aren’t interested in learning a new workflow, you should stick with something familiar. That’s a choice you should make not because others said it but because you want it.

If Masimo hadn’t finalized the patent, Apple would have filed it’s own similar one and the reverse would have happened. It was literally their only option when confronted with a tech giant who is notoriously litigious. If that happened, Apple would have shut down an actual medical device company through constant legal battles Masimo couldn’t afford to win.

This isn’t trolling because Masimo is actually using the patent and the patent is specific. Patent trolling is filing a bunch of broad patents and hoarding them, often with no intent to develop a product, for the express purpose of either filing law suits or to stifle competition. Apple is often considered a troll for that latter reason.

Masimo would likely allow Apple to license the patent. But Apple tried to bypass paying licensing fees entirely and it’s still doing so. Masimo was well within it’s rights to protect itself from Apple, though. Unfortunately, this is what a smaller company protecting itself from a larger one looks like in the US.

That can depend on a lot of factors, though. From the bus of the enclosure to the speed of the USB port and cables you used.

I wouldn’t have expected a 40 percent drop on the modern USB standards, but I’d still expect a drop. I was thinking closer to 20 percent.

It definitely is, but likely comes with a slight performance sacrifice due to bus speeds.

Not gonna lie. I’ve never heard of Substack but I appreciate their stance of publicly announcing why I would continue to avoid them.

This works for me. So long as you have a Kindle device registered on Amazon, you should be able to download directly to a desktop. The DeDRM plugin mentioned removes the DRM during ingestion into Calibre and requires an actual token from Amazon which is linked to the Kindle device you downloaded from.

I use this to get Amazon eBooks into my Remarkable 2 which requires DRM free.

Faux because he’s not a real person
