303 | null | null | Typical Forbes Tech Council drivel. Alarmist, tunnel vision, contrived. I'm surprised it didn't start with "Apple has a serious problem with the M1."<p>Nothing written here is surprising.<p>The M1 models have been out for just over a week. No one expected all apps to work perfectly on a completely new architecture, but the fact that Rosetta 2 works SO well is extraordinary. As it is, MS Office is already native in the beta channel. So is Chrome and Firefox. Many popular apps were released native on day one. Microsoft has released a native OpenJDK 16 port. This is a remarkable level of adoption after just <i>one week.</i><p>Lack of USB ports? How is that different from the existing models they replace, which, I might add, have far worse batter performance? These are not replacements for the top-tier pro machines. This was intentional. Apple intended these machines to be the foundation upon which the entire line is built, and to give developers the motivation to port their apps. And they are. Quickly.<p>I just setup a new Air for the chairman of the board at my company. He keeps texting me, raving about the thing. The best Mac he's ever owned (and he's owned nearly every Macbook there ever was). | null | teilo | null | 1,606,066,967 | "2020-11-22T17:42:47Z" | comment | 25,179,307 | 25,176,737 | null | null | null |

305 | null | null | As someone who's been involved with the project from day one, I'm genuinely interested in what other suggestion you have for making a living while wrinting OS software. There's a lot of discussions around sustainable open source, and I wonder what's so wrong about asking people that find the project supportable enough to become a GH sponsor (I myself am one, since leaving the company around Matestack as a co-founder due to mental health issues), asking companies that profit from it for a tiny compensation and offering premium add-ons & consulting (like, e.g., the people behind Sidekick, Trailblazer or Laravel do). Tough ask when tons of OSS is free & high quality, but then again not everybody has the luxury of either already being famous and/or being employed at $bigcorp to write OSS for a living (and we as a community perhaps should embrace different paths?!).
Looking forward to a constructive discussion if you find the time :)<p>Also, there's a lot of "I think the DSL ends up a hinderance" in this threat from people that (perhaps) haven't tried it and judge from the looks. Maybe that's just the tough HN crowd, but every single person we've actually had using it was pretty happy to with it once they were fully onboarded :) | null | pdoub | null | 1,606,066,948 | "2020-11-22T17:42:28Z" | comment | 25,179,304 | 25,176,315 | null | null | null |

307 | null | null | Dolly Parton's donation was somewhere between Seed funding and Round A, so to speak, at a critical moment, and thus very worth calling out. From the article:<p>"Parton’s $1 million donation went a long way toward funding the “critical” early stages of research and testing. Her money helped us develop the test that we used to first show that the Moderna vaccine was giving people a good immune response that might protect them,” [team leader] Denison said.<p>“Her work made it possible to expedite the science behind the testing,” Abumrad [inventor], 76, said on Tuesday night. “Without a doubt in my mind, her funding made the research toward the vaccine go 10 times faster than it would be without it.”<p>See also the actual research report in the New England Journal of Medicine, "An mRNA Vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 — Preliminary Report" where the credits are, in total, "Supported by the NIAID, National Institutes of Health (NIH)...; by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, NIH...; and by the Dolly Parton COVID-19 Research Fund... Funding for the manufacture of mRNA-1273 phase 1 material was provided by the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovation (CEPI)."<p>So, it may have billions of dollars behind it now, but without her donation at a critical moment, it may not have gotten to that stage for a much longer time, if at all. | null | drfuchs | null | 1,606,066,932 | "2020-11-22T17:42:12Z" | comment | 25,179,301 | 25,177,758 | null | null | null |

314 | null | null | Exactly: "normal" and "simulated" should be indistinguishable - and often, for me having reg/green deficiency, that's the case. I'll often look to confirm that images truly are different before using them as examples.<p>Colour deficiencies vary, though, so even a simulation that works perfectly for some is not going to be a universal simulation.<p>These simulations are amazing in terms of illustrating to colour-capable people what we colour-deficient actually see: it's not black and white, to us the world is still bright, vivid, colourful. It's <i>our normal</i> and that mostly isn't a problem. But a bright red rose that's colourful and vivid to me, looks to my wife grey and faded. | null | brianmcc | null | 1,539,617,956 | "2018-10-15T15:39:16Z" | comment | 18,220,590 | 18,220,232 | null | null | null |

322 | null | null | I wonder if some of this had to do with anti-submarine warfare?<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_missile_submarine" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_missile_submarine</a><p>That the soviets were falsifying documents, killing whales indiscriminately, not even using the carcasses very efficiently, and operating in ways that seemed to clear the sea of cetaceans, seems to point to some other deeper motivation to continue apace.<p>So much so, that Russian marine biologists and whaling scientists themselves took note of the attitude, and secretly retained records of the activity.<p>The article chalks this up to a simple antiquated quota established as a simple matter of the Soviet version of pre-environmentalist dust bowl ambition, and that the stubborn, bureaucratic single-mindedness of Soviet communists saw a number printed on a piece of paper and capriciously, if not robotically declared it must be so, and the machinations of a fear of failure to deliver unto Stalinist masters perpetuated an artificial demand to perform, in the face of GULAG style negative reinforcement, even though there was no such authentic demand that the supply was feeding into.<p>So, boss sees number, insists number must go up, stooges deliver number for fear of punishment. All of this willfully flouts international oversight of conservation efforts in secret, at the behest of the Soviet ministry of fisheries to save face before the high court of the communist party.<p>But is that really it? Or was it a paranoia of mobilized nuclear tipped missiles slipping past defenses onboard underwater launch platforms?<p>Did they think that maybe all the environmentalism was really a cover to hamstring anti-submarine warfare, at a time when this represented a key means of delivering nuclear deterence? That saving the whales was an effort to provide cover for submarines that might threaten Soviet cities with submarine launched ballistic missiles?<p>Maybe all the noisy whales were getting in the way of other cold war related human activity?<p>I guess if that were true, the whaling ships might have followed a different pattern, but maybe submarine warfare followed a pattern of using the animals as cover, and where a pod of animals could be found, so too a sneaking submarine? | null | anti-submarines | null | 1,558,429,524 | "2019-05-21T09:05:24Z" | comment | 19,968,584 | 19,953,568 | null | null | null |

325 | null | null | Yeah ISO 26262 is a derived standard from the parent 61508, as is 61511 for process sector.<p>It is all about risk management, probabilistic outcomes and not spending all your money on a highly visible/emotive risk and ignoring an equivalent risk that is pervasive but lower consequences.<p>A day to day example of how humans can be poor at intuitively allocating risk and avoidance is the immense fear some people have of the shark attack or plane crash, when they are statistically at way more risk driving to the beach or the airport, but think nothing of it. (Cars can be mighty convenient though).<p>In my case risk decisions are usually driven by the company risk matrix as to tolerable risk, the companies way of conveying the enterprise wide appetite for risk.<p>The risk matrix is also known as "the death quota" because it actually says how much is the maximum they are prepared to spend to avoid a fatality, or multiple fatalities, but you are never popular with the client when you frame their risk aversion guidance in that manner, not at all.<p>Usual guidance is that the company wants no real increase of risk of harm to employees as they experience in general public day to day life, around 1x10-5 chance of death per year in western countries.<p>Not thinking this sort of risk is part of the day to day thinking of most SV software engineers, because the consequences of your Uber going to the right street in the wrong suburb are undoubtedly significant to someone at the time, hardly likely to be life ending. | null | airbreather | null | 1,558,429,514 | "2019-05-21T09:05:14Z" | comment | 19,968,583 | 19,966,527 | null | null | null |

The mainstream implementations of C# require CIL + CLR. i.e. you need a virtual machine + libraries and framework. Not exactly "bare metal" environment.<p>But C# is more advanced language than C, so that might be beneficial in some areas. As a minimum you would need a C# to native compiler and facilities to include assembly language code in some low level areas.<p>To get a better idea of what it takes to implement an OS, take a look at the Linux kernel source code.

Data itself is easier to perlustrate in the future to see different interpretations, but usually the C-suite will see what they want to see and be told what they want to hear. | null | twistedpair | null | 1,389,207,423 | "2014-01-08T18:57:03Z" | comment | 7,025,622 | 7,024,288 | null | null | null |
392 | null | null | This reminds me of the HTML export in Word/Excel 2013, which is pretty much unchanged from 2003, complete with setting "Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 <i>or later</i>" in Web Options causing things like VML to be required that is not supported by IE10 anymore by default. I wrote an Ars Technica forum post on this. | null | yuhong | null | 1,378,710,188 | "2013-09-09T07:03:08Z" | comment | 6,352,211 | 6,351,997 | null | null | null |

395 | null | null | I was writing a long answer, but the comment you replied to got flagged (for good reason), and your reply is a lot more of a positive comment to hang this off anyway:<p>She's more of a talking point in some time because she cared about minority representation and gender in sci fi before it was cool (though interestingly by her own admission she took too long to address gender).<p>Her Earthsea books were noteworthy both because she explicitly made the protagonists and most of the Earthsea archipelago inhabitants explicitly non-white, except for the barbaric Kargs, <i>as well as</i> for her repeated run-ins with publishers who tried to make Ged in particular white (on covers and the like), and thereby demonstrated exactly why it mattered that he is not.<p>So she is not lionized for her gender. She has gotten renewed attention because she spent <i>decades</i> of her career <i>championing these issues</i> at a point where most other authors in her niches didn't even acknowledge there was an issue, and the rest of the world is finally catching up.<p>Even for people who do not like her niches, she is worth reading exactly because of how she dealt with issues of race and gender and sexuality. You can read her books without caring about them as a political act, and you'll still come away with a different view of the world than what you'll get elsewere. Look at how much fantasy <i>still</i> to this day presents the protagonists as all white, and "exotic characters from foreign lands" and antagonists as being far more likely to be dark skinned, to see why. Then watch the 2003 TV adaptation of Earthsea and see how even <i>knowing this</i>, the studio made it mostly a whitewash (and read her justifiably annoyed reaction) - to anyone who thinks this does not matter, I would say that if it did not matter then surely it wouldn't have mattered to follow her descriptions either.<p>Or read Left Hand of Darkness in light of modern discussions of gender and consider it was written in 1969.<p>She was ahead of the game when she started doing this, and rather depressingly she is still ahead of the game now, many decades later, and a year after her death. | null | vidarh | null | 1,549,378,921 | "2019-02-05T15:02:01Z" | comment | 19,085,823 | 19,085,025 | null | null | null |

397 | null | null | I feel like I hear more random success stories on OkCupid than anywhere else. It seems the commitment of swiping on <insert any of 20 apps here> is really thin. Not to mention that most people probably aren't looking to marry (or even date) someone from Tinder.<p>I'm curious about your experience. Do you feel that anything in particular made OkCupid more successful for you? I feel that the level of information / detail in profiles might help for a more successful match, but I haven't put in any time on the platform myself. | null | teirce | null | 1,524,067,760 | "2018-04-18T16:09:20Z" | comment | 16,868,488 | 16,868,387 | null | null | null |

399 | null | null | I don't think the people claiming that Bitcoin mining as a waste are using the economic definition of "efficiency" either. They just see Bitcoin as worthless, and therefore consider Bitcoin mining to be expending energy for nothing. That's very obviously wrong though, as I've just explained.<p>People mining Bitcoin are doing so out of their own self-interest. If Bitcoin were not valuable enough to overcome the cost of mining it, they wouldn't be mining in the first place. Whether or not there's a more "efficient" way of doing things is irrelevant to this point. | null | Ajedi32 | null | 1,524,067,747 | "2018-04-18T16:09:07Z" | comment | 16,868,486 | 16,868,131 | null | null | null |
