Classic support was simply Mac OS 9 running in a virtual machine.

Carbon is a modernization of the classic APIs. If an app was ported to Carbon then it could run in OS X natively without the VM. Older apps that weren't ported to Carbon need a VM running a classic version of Mac OS.
It’s stressful, but often worthwhile. It requires diligence, deliberate action, and patience.
To give you the other side: It also uses less than all idle devices plugged in, in the US. Either Argentina doesnt use as much as you’d think or the US wastes a whole lot of power doing nothing. I’d argue thats way worse than mining bitcoin!

Anyway its a sensationalist statistic designed to arouse your response. I’d expect theres heaps of things more wasteful.. office building services running 24/7 comes to mind

Implicitly they are arguing the value to people is low compared to energy consumption. They are sickened by the allocation of our limited sustainable energy production to this inefficient endeavour.

Presumably a proof of stake system with energy consumption within a few orders of magnitude of centralized ledgers would not be sickening.
AFAIK hashing algorithms are specifically designed so that you can't take shortcuts. That said, there was a technique that allowed you do do just that[1], but it has been patched.

How much energy is consumed by online banking? Big Tech in general? These are sincere questions.
There's no trickery, they just want contact details to get you into the sales funnel. It's a strategy, and just because there's no custom/bespoke pricing for you doesn't mean they wouldn't cut a deal for hundreds or thousands of users.

That said, I'm shocked they'd do this for a simple product selling a single item. It wouldn't be worth the time spent on the phone.
I will definitely use this if you can generalize it. I don't normally get migraines, but it would be great to correlate things like sore throats, stomach aches, fingernail ridges, skin breakouts, etc. to external factors like food, weather, and pollution.
If the BitCoin economy is mostly only applicable to libertarians, it won't be all that large.
"An individual who is active in github, quora, twitter and open source projects."

call me old fashioned but what happened to a portfolio. ever since i saw john resig's tweet about taking a gh log over a resume it seems every other job coming out now wants you spending 95% participating in the community and the other 5% working on your craft. how many uber talented engineers out there are actually spending that much time doing all of this active participation and still finding enough time to do their actual work. unless your job is actively participating in the community i don't think its many that can juggle all these requirements and be productive.

That was just one simple example to illustrate X goofiness. I wasn't complaining about updating in particular, I was complaining about the UI when I perform a common operation.

I just want reliable feedback to say that my operation is running. It's fine if the hourglass is a windows thing, but how am I supposed to know an app is actually loading on linux then? Pull up a terminal, run 'ps -Af | grep synaptic"? Not very friendly.

But if we want to stick with the update example, try opening System Preferences on OSX or the Control Panel on Windows twice. Even on purpose. It's pretty tough to do. And yet it happens to me all the time by accident on linux all the time.
I don't have a migraine problem, but I tweeted and shared on FB. Have you analysed any twitter data to predict past headaches for people?
I was hesitant to move to LaunchBar because it didn't support Quicksilver's Triggers feature. Then I found Spark Daemon:

http://www.shadowlab.org/Software/spark.php

It's an excellent free (but not open source) and complete Triggers replacement that has none of the bugs of Quicksilver's implementation.

Once I had a keyboard shortcut manager, I was happy to switch to LaunchBar, whose author, among other things, is also the creator of Little Snitch, an amazing interactive outbound firewall.
if youre a smaller company making a product profitably and amazon sees this and duplicates your product to sell for less, they are able to do this only because of their gargantuan size. this only serves to further consolidate a market into a ever smaller tract. if you have no problem with monopolies or the business processes that create them, then sure, it isnt messed up at all. otherwise, yeah, its a dodgy business practice.
Wonder if it supports ECC?

There's no direct mention of it on the AMD website spec sheet:

They find different ways of having fun and bullshitting.
Human intelligence assets that we gutted in the 70's would have been quite useful in fighting terrorism. Humans blow things up and humans organize. The idea that they are not already using encryption in communications is foolish.

If we leave a backdoor for the "patriots", then we can guarantee that foreign governments and criminals will find and use the same backdoor. All any restrictions on encryption will do is lead to more non-terrorism arrests.
> Having offensive capabilities and actually utilizing such capabilities are two different things. You can acknowledge the need for the former alongside the dangers of the latter, just as you would with any standing military.

In information warfare, waiting until conflict begins is too late. The information you collect and systems you exploit prepare you for the conflict.

For example, country A wants to know about country B's new bomber years ahead of the conflict so they can design anti-aircraft defenses to stop it. Country B spends years gaining access to Country A's routers, servers, etc. so they can utilize them the moment conflict begins.

If you wait for conflict to begin to do these things, you will be much too late.
I have an acquaintance who works there and their clients are all really big companies like Pepsi. And from my impression it's not technical departments that tend to purchase their services which is why you asking yourself "who uses this?". One of the things you seem to buy with Box is a lot of hand holding and simple technical assistance.

A well-designed type-inferred statically-typed language either cannot support the following (which is valid Python), or can only do so with tradeoffs that either stretch the definition of "statically-typed", stretch the definition of "well-designed", or would make the language even more intimidating than monads make Haskell:

def fizzbuzz(i):
if i % 3 == 0:
return "fizz"
else if i % 5 == 0:
return "buzz"
else:
return i

for i in range(100):
print(fizzbuzz(i))

Now you might argue that it's a good thing for people to care about proper typing for large, maintainable codebases, and I would agree; in some of the better Python code I've seen, it's social convention to add type signatures in a comment (I once worked at a place where people added Haskell type signatures) and enforce proper typing. And yes, there are a few Python APIs that return either a single item or a list, instead of a one-item list, and they're annoying.

But it's a thing people do, it's especially a thing that's useful in a teaching language or in a scripting language that's trying to fill PHP's niche, and I don't think a language that refuses to type-check such a thing will fit every conceivable need. Sometimes the goal is just to get something done quickly, not be large or maintainable.

I dislike Trump, but even I can see that there is a subset of the media that has a conscious or unconscious principle of attacking him for almost everything he says and does. If he does X, attack him for doing X. If he does the opposite of X, attack him for doing the opposite of X. If he first does X and then does the opposite of X, first attack him for doing X and then switch and attack him for doing the opposite of X. If he makes peace, call him soft on our enemies. If he makes war, call him bloodthirsty. Etc.

This subset of the media also tends to lie about what Trump says. So, for example, a few years ago they insinuated that Trump had called all Mexicans criminals and rapists. Trump never had. A couple of days ago, they insinuated that Trump blew up on a reporter because the reporter had asked Trump what he had to say to Americans who were scared. In context and without selective editing, though, it seems a lot more likely to me that Trump blew up on the reporter because the reporter had just a few moments previously asked Trump if Trump's tendency to put a positive spin on things was giving people false hope.

This subset of the media has been accusing Trump of exaggerating the effects of hydroxychloroquine. But I have not been able to find any statements from Trump in which he promoted it one-sidedly as any sort of miracle cure.

Trump lies all the time, but that doesn't mean I don't see that a certain fraction of the media lies about Trump too.

I don't think it's a total collective effort on the part of the media to smear Trump, although I'm pretty sure that there are pockets of collective effort there. There are subsets of the media that uncritically praise Trump, so it's certainly not one-sided. There's probably also a clickbait profit motive behind some of the deceptive media coverage. It's a lot easier to take a Trump quote out of context and write a quick article making it seem like he said something horrendous than it is to actually do investigative journalism and thoughtful commentary.

As for whether such media people would care about millions dying? Well, did they care enough about the fate of Iraqis to be adequately cynical about Bush administration hogwash about WMDs that any intelligent teenager with an interest in war could have poked holes in? No. To add insult to injury, many of them actually started to fawn over the Bushes once Trump was in office.

>Note that those opposing Trump are on the left

"Left" is not well-defined. If you mean "left" as in socialist-leaning, then I would say that I doubt that a clear majority of Trump's opponents are on the left. Many are.

>and actually care about helping others

No matter how you define "left", the "left" has no monopoly on actually caring about helping others. And the "left" has plenty of people who talk a big talk about wanting to help others but who actually, whether they realize it about themselves or not, only care about power and use the talk of help as a disguise. All parts of the political spectrum have people like that.
You can't avoid a lot of that, given the physical constraints within a home. This just means it's even more critical for people who live with others to do physical distancing so they don't bring it home.

Come on, literally the very first press conference about it saw the PM flanked by his two most senior scientific advisors who were delegated to for any science-related questions. The government just published all the scientific advice documents that are being used to inform policy. "Not listening to scientists until they're forced to" is a ludicrous assertion.

Actually it's much worse - if you read the scientific advice, some of it is about how politicians can't and shouldn't actually follow the scientific advice, because if the government isn't seen to be panicking and doing pointless unnecessary things that other countries are then people might riot. The British government isn't the problem here.

That's really not how any of these things work. Bitcoin is completely separate from monetary policy, changes in interest rates are a useful tool and inflation isn't necessarily bad.

It's cool to be bullish on Bitcoin but this kind of reasoning shows a serious lack of understanding.

Boulder Care | Senior Product Manager | Portland OR | Full-time onsite (WFH currently due to covid) | https://boulder.care

Come work for Boulder Care!

Boulder Care is a digital health platform for treating opioid addiction. We are a well-funded VC-backed company with the opportunity to build a massive business. Our healthcare system spends billions of dollars combating the opioid epidemic.

Opioid overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans under 50, but fewer than 10% of patients who need treatment are receiving it. Boulder is closing this gap by providing high-quality medication-based treatment via a digital platform.

Our platform consists of a mobile app that serves our patients, and a web app used by our clinicians. As we scale and build out our apps there is lots of opportunity to shape the product!

Obligatory Banksy quote:

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear. They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks, intellectual property rights and copyright law mean advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even start asking for theirs.

Political pressure is a thing. Just because you can't have a direct effect individually doesn't mean you can't talk about it.

We still talk and try to address climate change even though we can't do much to force China to change.

Also, the facts matter. If they did accidentally release it it they at least should be reprimanded by the world for it.

Movies should be written about it, don't let them forget.

The function that performs the tail-call won't show up in stack traces. This is intentional (and needed) when it's done to eliminate an infinite number of recursive calls, but if it's just a utility function then it can be confusing.

As an ObjC example, there's an objc_msgSend call between every two methods in a stack trace, but you never see it.

In practice this has never been a problem for me.
> The NN itself would be a derivative work and a copyright violation as well without the appropriate licenses.

This seems reasonable at first, but not the more I think about it. Copyright is not like an AGPL software license that claims/poisons everything it touches.

The NN is not an artistic work and probably should not be considered a derivative work any more than your brain or memory of a copyrighted work should be considered a derivative work. Likewise, the outputted work of a NN is not automatically a derivative work any more than the work of an artist that has been inspired by other artists' copyrighted content is. That's just not how copyright works.
Gabe Newell was known for taking this stance if I recall correctly, describing piracy as usually a service problem and not a pricing problem.

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem," he said. "If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."
Yeah right Vladimir. Sure.

We both know the game you’re going to play. I’ll give you the name of the murdered man, the murderer aligned with Antifa, and a long list of times Joe Biden refused to condemn Antifa violence, and language from city mayors calling Trump-supporters unamerican, unwelcome, and threats to their city. I’ll say it clearly condoned violence and you’ll say it didn’t. And that’s exactly my point. You want to use a vague wishy-washy standard that you can use to suppress political opinions you disagree while letting political opinions you like slip by. Stop trying to censor speech. It’s 2021, not the dark ages. Grow up.
Dear esteemed HN Editor,

I thought the whole point of the term was not to refer to products which solve a particular problem, but to simply refer to anything other than the traditional relational databases that use SQL.
You realize that's a joke, right?
Yep, giving names to high-level abstract concepts is one of the most important skills humans have.

I mean, you wouldn't want to say "database management systems that differ from classic relational database management systems in some way, which may not require fixed table schemas, and usually avoid join operations and typically scale horizontally" in every third sentence would you?
