My notes for turning a Macbook Pro into a very nice Windows 10 machine for free using Bootcamp (not for everybody, I know). Thanks to Emlyn O’Regan for the original tip.
Download Windows 10 ISO file from
https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10ISO
choose a Windows 10 Anniversary Edition
i.e. Win10_1607_English_x64.iso
You can upgrade from there later.
Run Bootcamp
Set Partition size. Don’t try to resize this later.
Select the Windows iso
Format the BOOTCAMP partition
Click next and let it do its thing
Windows will start, answer questions about preferred language etc
When asked answer “I don’t have a licence code”
Install Windows
Install Bootcamp inside windows
Tweaks:
To make the fonts look the right size:
Control Panel > Display: Turn off custom scaling
To reduce sensitivity of trackpad for two finger scrolling:
Control Panel > Mouse > choose how many lines to scroll = 1
Select “additional mouse options” and set lines to scroll to 1
To reverse the scrolling direction for “natural” trackpad scrolling:
Use Regedit to swap direction of track pad:
Under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetEnumHIDVID_??????Device Parameters
(where ??? is different on every machine) search for properties named FlipFlopWheel and FlipFlopHScroll and set both of them to 1. They may appear a few times for different values of ???.
* Turn background to black *
(On an unregistered Windows, you are prevented from customising the wallpaper but they don’t stop you from blanking it out completely)
Control panel > ease of access > other options > show windows background = off
Connect to WiFi
Install Chrome
Login to Chrome
My setup for web development:
Install Git Bash for Windows
> Use git from windows command prompt
Install VS Code
Open command window Ctrl-`
On first run you’ll be asked if you want to customise command prompt
Choose your preferred terminal shell
Choose git bash
Install Node
A sense of fairness only makes sense in systems that are fair.
A sense of fairness only makes sense in systems that are fair. In the current system, redistribution is an effort to try and reduce a sense of exploitation. The alternative is burning cities.

Support for redistribution is shaped by compassion, envy, and self-interest, but not a taste for fairness
“Markets have lifted millions out of poverty, but considerable inequality remains and there is a large worldwide demand for redistribution. Although economists, philosophers, and public policy analysts debate the merits and demerits of various redistributive programs, a parallel debate has focused on voters’ motives for supporting redistribution. Understanding these motives is crucial, for the performance of a policy cannot be meaningfully evaluated except in the light of intended ends. Unfortunately, existing approaches pose ill-specified motives. Chief among them is fairness, a notion that feels intuitive but often rests on multiple inconsistent principles. We show that evolved motives for navigating interpersonal interactions clearly predict attitudes about redistribution, but a taste for procedural fairness or distributional fairness does not.”

Internet speed and cost by country.

Internet speed and cost by country. This has to be the BS chart of the week. It’s what Akamai sees when stuff gets downloaded from their servers, but the problem is, the vast majority of stuff hosted on it has tiny file sizes. So what you’re basically seeing are speeds of downloads that last under a second anyway. The way TCP/IP connections work is that it starts slow implementing congestion control , tries to increase the window size and then ramps up the speed until it encounters packet loss or some QOS mechanism kicks in , and that takes a few seconds. This data is NOT representative of average broadband speeds. For example, there is no fucking way Romania has lower speeds than the US. I can have uncapped 1Gbps download and 500Mbps upload for 8.5 eur/month. And this is in a country with some of the fastest and cheapest internet connections in the world. The 20 meg average that shows here on the graph is only representative if you have a time machine and travel back to 1999.
