No it's not. I get the feeling you didn't really read the blog post. This proposed standard is supposed to be able to be implemented on top of all 3 platform-specific APIs, it's not made specifically for Metal.

Yes, they're using the Metal Shading Language in this initial proposal. But in the blog post they explicitly say that the choice of the shading language is likely to be contentious (or, as they put it, "fun"), and so they're deferring the issue right now and just picking the Metal Shading Language because they're Apple developers. The actual choice of shading language in the final version of this proposal is going to be the result of the standardization process, and will probably not end up being the Metal Shading Language.
I break out in a sweat contemplating how to get an ORM to efficiently do something that would be simple in straight SQL...
2. For me as well. I built a couple things with ClojureScript but once I started working with Relay and GraphQL I felt that it was no longer the best tool for the job.
What is "adequate"? Any long term task still hangs the business logic thread - the only thread - unless you fallback to native. At what point does constant fallback to native for implementing what is not possible in JS a detriment to development? You may say, multithreading is an edge-case, but is it? I have not been involved in a single project where actual multithreading was not needed.
Also, the way RN is implemented internally, such as async bridge and layout (CSSLayout / "yoga"), it is quite impossible to use native optimized views, such UITableView with reusable views, because this API is designed for synchronous API calls.
Its about efficiency. One Example: Being in the financial industry i have submit monthly reports with all my statements and activity. Luckily compliance software can automate this for me.
I would just like to point out that working on open source software does not prevent one from having a job. For many years my job was, precisely, to write free and open source software.

I too don't want to criticize ESR for his personal choices - we all make mistakes - but he should really consider getting a more common work arrangement. He's neither young nor rich and he should start thinking about retirement by now.
I would say that Nethack's are only "better thought-out", not "much better thought-out":

Nethack was my first roguelike, 20+ years ago. A year or two ago I played Brogue, and realized just how crufty Nethack is.

Let me see if I can remember all the item-specific commands, just from muscle memory. 'w' is for wielding weapons, to unwield you 'w' '-'. For armor, 'W' puts it on, 'T' takes it off. For rings/amulets, 'P' puts it on, 'R' takes it off. For missile weapons, 't' is for throw, 'f' is for fire (be sure you select something to be in your quiver with 'Q' first!). potions are quaffed with 'q', scrolls and spellbooks are read with 'r', wands are zapped with 'z', spells are cast with 'Z', food is eaten with 'e', tools (like candles etc) are applied with 'a'.

In Brogue, every kind of equipment is equipped with 'e' and removed with 'r'. Every item that has an effect is invoked with 'a'. There are no spells; instead of memorizing spells you find staves that you then 'a', and they occupy space in your inventory just like a weapon.

If you like roguelikes and haven't played Brogue, give it a shot.

Also, take a read through nethack's source and Brogue's source, and you'll see that the cleanliness of Brogue's design is reflected in its code.

> Microsoft isn't officially supporting Vulkan either

It's Microsoft's lack of official support for OpenGL on Windows that leads to WebGL implementations using of ANGLE translation to Direct3D, rather than direct OpenGL, right? So I assume we'd have the same situation for a hypothetical WebVulkan. Yes, Vulkan would be available on Windows with the right drivers, but the browsers wouldn't want to use it.
It is, so that's why people who get an urgent task to maintain something in AS3 are quite likely to need and use stackoverflow.
If you used a symbolic form to prevent ambiguity how are you now calling on magic inside of an anonymous function?

You even alluded to calculus with "dS(t)/dt"

This use of maths was clearly completely stylistic.
Yes minikube rocks. It essentially fulfills the dream promised but poorly delivered by Docker Compose - a development environment as similar as possible to production.

The components inside a SV cooker are dead simple and it's very easy to make them reliable enough to not matter. The Anova isn't a toy at all, even at $120, reliability has been very good and many people report running them hours per day over multiple years. Even if an Anova only lasts 3 years and a Polyscience lasts 10, by the time the Anova dies, you can pick up the next gen model for half the price and still save money.

The only big tricky issue with SV is dealing with humidity and electronics but that's fairly simply fixed just by making the electronics low power enough to be passively cooled and completely sealing them as the Joule has done.
> Also, if you compare the sample code in the post with a sample of Vulkan code, I think it will be clear that a literal "WebVulkan" is a road best not traveled.

Are you sure? Don't forget about WebAssembly… Just as Emscripten currently exposes the original OpenGL ES API as a wrapper for WebGL, for the sake of porting existing C/C++ code that uses it, in the future there will be a desire to port Vulkan renderers to the web. That will be easier if the browser API is based on Vulkan; otherwise you'll end up with a shim on top of a shim. Also, the same arguments about developer familiarity that led to WebGL being designed as it is could apply just as well to Vulkan - albeit somewhat more speculatively, given Vulkan's newness.
Habemus WebEditor: your cloud-based code editor has launched
A hypothetical WebVulkan is tied to an API that it is guaranteed to have to translate from. A hypothetical WebGPU could simply be tweaked to better support its multiple target APIs.
Or for another example, look at this story and how the folks against GamerGate responded to it:

https://medium.com/@mombot/zachattack-how-i-tricked-anti-har...

All it took was a bit of fake evidence and a story these people wanted to believe (that someone they disliked 'wasn't a minority'), and suddenly you had a whole bunch of people looking like idiots and making fools of themselves.

So easy to then ramp this up to focus on someone in the activist's/extremists' own community and hey, the whole group is now up in flames over a fabricated story.
I have never encountered better online support than Rackspace.
You're conflating implementations with APIs. If we had a theoretical "WebVulkan" standard, we'd have implementations in each browsers and along with display drivers underneath.

> The problem is that society is becoming increasingly stratified, and large swaths of it don't accept differences of opinion

This sentence started so well! This fixation on opinion is really strange to me. There are real, "stratified" power differentials in our country that have nothing to do with opinions.

Radical Islam was not created by people talking nice about their Syrian neighbors. But plenty of people have been killed by nutty trolls inciting nuttier Muslims to violence.

IMO stratification of opinion is always well downstream of the stratification of something more elemental: ethnicity, sex, mode of production, etc.
Could someone not provide Vulkan driver support on the Mac or is it forbidden by Apple to do so?

Apple allows you to provide an alternative API on OSX but not on iOS.

Microsoft is exactly the same. They do not support custom APIs on Windows Mobile AFAIK.
I used to be a skeptic, but the First 2 weeks of Techstars have blown my mind
Because they have been doing so with OpenGL (an identical situation) for years.

Besides, "purposefully cripple" is inaccurate. They just put more effort into Direct3D because there's no reason to support OpenGL as fully.
That's kind of my point. I completely agree that humans are bad about making their own choices, but I don't think that taking choices away from them is the right answer either. IME, better education about those choices, and less pressures about those choices are the solutions.
I'm pretty sure I know the comment you are referring to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10180416

Altruism in that comment actually referred to the willingness of an individual to sacrifice personal reward for the cause of white power. I said that I'm not altruistic and am happy to make choices that harm white power in return for personal gain.

Also I'm not a libertarian, I'm closer to neoreactionary than to any other identifiable ideology.
From my experience, any native developers that work with React Native have a mental toll from having to adapt to what seems like unnatural technologies from the native side. Add on top of that the terrible web ecosystem, terrible JS base library (and, perhaps, the language itself), the lack of IDE (not code editors), the debugging experience, the packager performance, and it's just not a good experience for people who have worked in better developer environments, such as Android Studio, Visual Studio and Xcode. The only people really happy, from my experience, are web developers who are already familiar with this technology and ecosystem.

Not sure if you are from India or not, but it looks like you are not aware of how banking has improved in India.

Dumbphone banking is possible for more than a billion people (as long as they can afford a dumbphone service and have Aadhar - biometric ID). I say billion and not all Indians, because there's < 300 million Indians who are yet to get their Aadhar ID cards. With UBI even the poorest should be able to afford a dumb phone and a phone service.

India has all the needed infra to dispense money to a billion people. All it needs to ensure is, if UBI is implemented, remove every single subsidy thats currently given.

What would be worse, is to have a haphazard implementation of UBI without removing subsidies, and people revolting at removal of either of these schemes.
In the process of transferring a phone number now and it seems to be universally insecure. Sign a paper and you're done.

A simple automated SMS from your current provider that requires a "YES" response would be a lot securer and shouldn't be hard to implement.

That depends on the cat. For starters, feed them, play with them, keep them company, keep them and their living area clean, don't mistreat them, etc. That's a good start. Jackson Galaxy may be a better source than I on the fine points of feline respect. All I know is it can take some time and effort -- sometimes much of the lifetime of a reticent cat. Totally worth it in the end, though.
It's the current reality with OpenGL on Windows, which is why Windows browsers do not implement WebGL with OpenGL, but rather by translating to Direct3D.

Maybe it'll be different for Vulkan, but that would be a surprise.
I know Saudi does (or at least did). It was enough to live off of, too (though perhaps not in the style you would like to become accustomed to...)
What you're really getting at is that it isn't that people don't care about privacy, it's that privacy, to happen, has to be systemic.

It can't be that you decide to have privacy and to do it you have to personally build a moat with your own two hands. It has to be that we as engineers build viable systems that respect privacy -- and then, given the choice between a viable privacy-protecting system and the status quo, it becomes much more practical for regular people to choose privacy.
The terrifying thing is that you don't even need to reach human-level performance to cause structural unemployment. As a hypothetical example, if automation can make top-performers in your field 10x more efficient, that makes 90% of people in that role redundant.

This feels a lot scarier to me since as a ML engineer, I rarely see applications where we can reach human level performance easily but the idea of making existing top performers 2-5x more effective feels much more viable.

The idea of 80% of people in relatively high-skill jobs who are used to a relatively high income level becoming redundant is a pretty scary one.
I have an A320 type so let me try to guess what happened in the A330. The airbus is... different. You can displace the stick 100% in any direction and it wont bank beyond 67 degrees, pitch up more than 30, or pitch down more than 15. It wont overstress because the stick controls G-forces through a closed feedback loop. It also has high-speed protections where it will automatically apply positive G-force to pitch up in order to slow down. The pilot cannot override these protections. You can do whatever you want with the stick and as long as the computers are working and getting good data the aircraft will not stall, overspeed, overstress, or roll upside down. If you get too careless it will even run the engines up to full takeoff thrust and microblog it to you. These protections were working the whole time the captains stick was deflected 100% nose down. The system isn't perfect and it allows some overshoot, as you can see, but at least the protections kept it within 17 degrees nose down and mach 0.9.

Now to the story at hand, the captain probably didn't realize his camera was wedged between the seat's armrest and the control stick as he moved the seat forward. I can only guess that he assumed the strange attitude was the result of a computer malfunction because he considered turning off the computers that provide many of the protections I mentioned. Good thing he didn't. Now the first officer gets into the cockpit and probably tosses a wtf glance at the captain but upon getting one right back he decides to use his own stick. The sticks in the bus aren't mechanically connected but, just like with mechanically connected sticks in antique Boeing aircraft, their force inputs are mathematically summed. Yet unlike mechanically connected sticks, displacement isn't transmitted across the cockpit so the first officer wouldn't be wise to the fact that the captain's stick was full forward. Luckily the bus engineers thought of this. When the first officer pulled his stick back the computer would have noticed both sticks moving and it would have announced "dual input". This isn't a microblog or a gentle woman's voice. It's a pissed off dude trying to talk some sense into you. At that point the captain probably looked at the palms of his hands to make sure they weren't on the stick. He probably showed his palms to the first officer too. At that point they had two heads working on the problem and it wouldn't have taken them too long to find the camera.
The computer worked to prevent the aircraft from entering an overspeed condition by pitching up and attempting to recover from the dive even before that dual stick input was an issue. It was intervening 13 seconds into the incident, as the aircraft threatened to exceed safety tolerances. The dual stick input created another issue after that intervention began.

The automation very possibly saved lives here. The overspeed protection is good because had that not happened, there's a real possibility that significant sections of the airplane would have sheared off, or the airplane could have rapidly drifted further out of control as it accelerated quickly through 365 knots indicated. Big, heavy, thrusting things gain airspeed rapidly when you pitch them down 18 degrees at cruise power, and the margin of recoverability is very minimal. There are arguments that humans are unable to prevent some scenarios in that situation because by the time higher-order thinking on decisions has happened, it's too late. See, for example, the surprisingly lengthy duration of time between the incident and setting for idle, which probably should have been among the first things done in response. Brains are slow when things happen fast, and a symphony of alarms and whoops (undoubtedly in progress) does not help.

A Boeing would not have intervened in the situation at all and would have allowed the aircraft to go overspeed, risking serious airframe damage. If you crash dive an airliner at cruising speed, very, very bad things happen. At cruising altitude safety envelopes are very small. The paragraph talking about direct law is, roughly speaking, what would have happened had this been a Boeing aircraft. (This isn't bad, it's just different philosophies of pilot responsibility. I'm not partisan on the difference like some pilots and am willing to acknowledge the benefits of both approaches; this one is an Airbus advantage.)

Internet Marketing Tricks to Increase Website Traffic
> If the beholder argument is that the existence of a single such snowflake invalidates the possibility that useful objectivity can be used to study the concept of trolling -- then the claim is ludicrous.

Agreed, but I don't think we're talking about snowflakes. I think we're talking about a significant portion of the communication out there that might be identified by some as "trolling". And I guess I'm less interested in an objective definition of trolling than I am in an objective determination of whether some particular post or group of posts is intended as a troll.

On top of that, I don't think it's a binary determination. There's such a thing as a 100% troll post or a 100% innocent post, but there's also everything in between.
You're leaving out the "official" counterpart- Direct3D drivers. Microsoft and hardware vendors both have an active interest in adding support for new versions there.
I have a cat that plays fetch and walks on a leash. Or more like he's willing to lead me while he's on a leash.
Do you have any evidence for your claim that Vulkan is best? Metal and D3D 12 are also low-level APIs designed for performance. I've seen no evidence that Vulkan is better on platforms where there are drivers for two different APIs.
Yes, Amex doesn't have such a condition, and that's their choice to make - linked with their choice to charge much higher fees than Visa or Mastercard.

I actually got that wheel two weeks ago. I was very skeptical of whether I could train either of my cats to use it. Took pretty much exactly a week to train one of them to use it and now he uses it all the time.

He still runs around the house and plays when excited but running on the wheel has become his baseline activity when he wants to do something but I'm working and the other cat is uninterested in playing with him.

I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their cat indoors and exercised.
