Is it really weird to me how little-known the art of cross-compilation is. You can target x86 from an ARM build box, or the other way around.

hughrr · 4 years ago

Also you can run x86-64 and arm64 VMs side by side with UTM on the M1’s. That’s what I am doing. Although I don’t need to use the x86-64 one these days as Debian/arm64 is fine for my needs.

I bought the Air as I had a bit of a deadline for getting a new machine and could not wait for the 14 or 16 inch models to be released.

The Air is silent, it's powerful enough for fairly serious dev workloads, it has a battery that lasts longer than I've ever seen before and it can run multiple displays if you get a compatible displaylink dock.

If you like it, there's little reason not to get one AFAICT. Make sure to grab the 16GB of RAM though!

Just a heads up with this. If you want one, make sure you get an off the shelf config if you can. The turnaround times for replacements and repair is likely to be bad on non stock configurations.

This pushed me to the 14” MBP with 16GB and 1TB. You can literally get it swapped out same day at apple stores if anything goes wonky.

> Kids from much older parents (40+) are also almost completely weird.

They are, in every quantitative and qualitative measure, far more well-adjusted than the poor children, like yours, who had no choice but to grow up with literal children as parents.

(Or maybe we shouldn’t generalize like this…?)

hughrr · 4 years ago

No please do. You’re on the mark there. I was waiting for someone to make this point.

The weirdness comes from the social disparity and disconnectedness from peers their own age due to different social attitudes from parents.

The generalisation comes from the observation that older parents tend to lead to less progressive attitudes.

Great hobby. Combines many disciplines from carpentry, electronics, engineering and even civil engineering to some degree.

I'll take moral guidance from... checks notes... anyone other than Orson Scott Card, thank you.

hughrr · 4 years ago

Yeah felt a little dirty writing that.

> Not speaking ill of the dead is morally wrong.

Maybe just me but I feel like this misses what Speaker For the Dead does. It isn't about speaking ill or not ill of people but understanding their life experience, to give context to who they were as a person. This moves past the superficial reading of a person that just listing their actions and classifying them as good or bad.

hughrr · 4 years ago

Indeed it’s about honesty in the face of death. The speaker speaks both of the good and the bad things.

Obituaries tend not to.

If this was Spotify vs Google I’d take Spotify.

If this was anything vs Apple I’d take Apple.

That’s the ranking of trust I have as far as customer support goes. It’ll be a crap fest when match.com or some other atomic level shyster markets their way into sounding more reputable than they are.

In your 30s, if you are waiting to have kids for various reasons, you really need to stop delaying. Your probability of successfully having kids goes down every year, and by your early 40s your options for medical help if you have infertility stop being available because even those interventions lose effectiveness.

If you want kids, just have the kids. You're not going to care that you were being responsible and waiting when you find out waiting means you never get to have them.

hughrr · 4 years ago

This. I had kids in my early 20s. It’s great because I still have a connection with them even though two are adults.

Kids from much older parents (40+) are also almost completely weird.

take care of your health, it is the #1 resource you own.

Having screwed this up in my 30s and spent the first half of my 40s doing a desperate low budget TV montage, I agree with this entirely. Some things you can't undo and I regret that. Learn from my mistake :)

I'm buying a cake tomorrow to celebrate.

I think Orson Scott Card, despite being a complete loon, raised an interesting concept in the book Speaker For The Dead. Obituaries should be spoken honestly to all. Not speaking ill of the dead is morally wrong.
