That looks like a very cool tool, thanks for sharing! Bookmarked :)

> Also, Microsoft has some magics for executing x86_64 binaries on aarch64 with good performance, so Apple may have a similar technology.

I'm reminded of the patent-sharing agreement between the two. Or, given MS' diversification, they may be willing to directly license the tech. Making the x64 -> aarch64 translation as robust as possible has benefits for both companies, and they're not nearly the bitter enemies they used to be.

Inn their current yearly OS release cycle? Nope, not at all.

AMD has the rights to produce x86 compatible CPUs. If Apple were to design the chips but AMD manufactured them on contract, would that avoid IP/licensing issues with Intel?
Huh? If you're coming from a PC you can definitely direct the audio separate the video. If you're using a set-top/streaming box you typically just send the audio back out the TV.

The number of people with dedicated audio equipment is too great for any TV manufacturer to break this.
That would be the end of the Hackintosh, which would be kind of a shame.

Even having never built one myself, it remained a last resort of some kind in the back of my mind.
A high-performance immutable Map type for Python
Another benefit I've seen a number of times is that people seems to have an easier time quitting. (Based on my sample of < 5 coworkers that switched to vaping.)

The pattern, as explained to me and IIRC, was as follows:

Started vaping insteadof smoking.

Tried vape with less nicotine. Worked equally well.

Tried with half strength.

Tried with even less. Also worked.

At this point it just felt silly so they just stopped.

(Note that these where young people.)
I still expect that they'll offer devices in traditional form factors

What are iOS developers supposed to develop on?
>The 2017 Monitoring the Future survey on adolescent drug use found that 11 percent of 12th graders, 8.5 percent of 10th graders and 3.5 percent of 8th graders had vaped nicotine in the previous 30 days. Of those high school seniors, 24 percent reported vaping daily, which the study defined as vaping on 20 or more occasions in the previous 30 days

I'm sorry, but is <10% of high schoolers an "explosion"? Obviously e-cigarettes are more appealing than tobacco products, but regular cigarette use was 15.8% in 2011 [1]. Marijuana use is at close to 6%, so not that big a gap from the apparent "explosion" of kids vaping.

Well, it's also how OS X apps work, and have worked for a long time already.
While a x86-ARM translator of some sort is certainly possible, keep in mind that Xcode added support for BitCode back in 2015, which means that binaries are uploaded to the App Store in LLVM IR and compiled to the target architecture by Apple. While this will not cover 100% of Mac OS applications out there, it will certainly minimize the effort of porting stuff to ARM MacBooks.
I doubt iOS devs are very high up on the list of parties to please with this move
I don't think that's fair towards GP – they only provided a data point using a language that is competing with Rust in some areas.

> Not only is your argumentation and example really not solid -- the steamboat technology would in this case cover the steam engine, used in a large range of other sectors to solve the same and other problems. As such, you would not use the steam engine technology in anyway in the "derived invention".

But my point was that to someone who had never seen any boat at all everything that makes up the steamboat is steamboat technology.
And before that they successfully managed the transition from m68k to PPC.

ClassKit – Apple Developer Documentation
Binary size was one of the main reasons I started using Nim.
Yes. x86_64 is younger than patent lifespan, anyway.
The same way we do now? There's a strong cultural expectation that one will agree to review, or have one's graduate students review, a reasonable number of papers. If you're a member of the Foo committee of the Society for Bar, you're not going to refuse to pull your weight as a reviewer for the Society for Bar's International Journal of Foo unless you want to get the cold shoulder at your next conference. It's not like anybody gets paid for this today.
Yeah. They probably went: Let's have the local police look thru that stuff. Not some big American corporation.
Yes. Everything since the Pentium is still encumbered. Intel and AMD have extensive cross licensing agreements. Anyone want to build an x86_64 chip would need to either purchase a company that already had licenses or negotiate with both AMD and Intel.
> 4GB was common in desktop computers in 2005. ~15 years have passed and consumers in the $750 price range are still hamstrung with 1366x768 and 4GB of memory?

If anything it's worse now because the RAM is soldered in and they're using BGA ICs which makes it impossible for most people to upgrade.
> hard core Linux devs who've switched back to Win10 and just work off of the new Linux Subsystem and an X11 server.

What's the use case for a "hard core Linux dev" and WSL? I've tried it. It failed miserably for Rails development when it was released. I logged bugs. I went back to what I was doing. Maybe it's gotten good now?
The other part being the recommendations not to always fully charge Lithium batteries. How come you can't configure the device or charger to do this? its 2018 already.

HA failover pings that get routed rather than being sent to their peer, captive portal requests that no longer exist. Things of that nature.

There is a lot of documentation, Cisco being one of the primary at-fault companies, that uses 1.1.1.1 for all kinds of various internal configuration.

Given hundreds of thousands of devices configured with 1.1.1.1, even a simple misconfiguration on just 10% of those is a lot of garbage traffic.
Is that just a flat $2500, no profit/royalty sharing? Seems like a good way to get people to churn out lots of low quality patents.

I like the scheme where I work--there's a relatively small cash bonus (a few hundred bucks), but the inventors get a nice chunk of any income from the patent. Another slice goes to the inventor's department's budget, so they can indirectly benefit there too.
"What are iOS developers supposed to develop on?"

Presumably laptops and desktops with Apple chips inside.
I'll offer a counter opinion. I subscribed to the New Yorker for almost a year. The New Yorker leans hard left politically and it was really tiring. I consider myself a moderate progressive and got tired of the condescending tone that most writers used against any person or group that wasn't like them. I feel like it's okay to have an opinion that's different than mine but you don't need to ridicule other people and shove it down their throats constantly. The majority of the articles they published were political.

There were the occasional gems but not enough to justify me continuing my subscription and wading through each issue. The good stories show up on longform.org anyway.
Wow, that is awful.
Apple has been preparing itself for independence from underlying CPU arachitecture for a while. In WWDC 2015[1], they announced bitcode. All App submissions to AppStore are compiled to to bitcode. This allows Apple to re-optimize/re-compile your app binary in the future for newer hardware without the need to submit new version of your app to the store.

This allows Apple to switch to intel chip on iPhone, or switch to an ARM chip on MacOS.

By providing opportunity to find errors in research of people you don't like!

More seriously though, peer review is usually free or almost free, reviewers do not get anything near to the ridiculous amount of the money that "open access" journals demand.

Besides, having articles on github, with all the data, so that any reader can check the results, and comment, would be much more powerful than the type of peer review we have today.
That's not even close to the same thing. You're comparing involuntary and unknown sharing of personal data with explicit and self-actioned sharing of that data.
BlackBerry Limited | DevOps Engineer | Ottawa, ON | ONSITE | https://ca.blackberry.com/

The era of manual infrastructure management has gone the way of the dodo. The BlackBerry Cloud Platform team is looking for people with a love of building infrastructure through ‘code’ with the mission to develop a highly performant, fault-tolerant, scalable, distributed system in the ‘Cloud’. Why release monthly or quarterly when you could be releasing hourly? We need to deliver content continuously with reliability, and resiliency, from development to production in minutes.

The BlackBerry IoT Platform makes it easy for our customers and internal verticals to build connected solutions for embedded products such as remote management, asset tracking, device software updates, and big data analytics.

If your browser history contains cloud service provider links , /r/devops, container technologies, continuous deployment blogs, automated scaling, and fault detection, then this is very likely the job for you.

While we are happy to provide DevOps professionals who want to specialize in that role exclusively the opportunity to do so, we also recognize that DevOps works best as a first class citizen in the product development process. For that reason, we encourage interested DevOps personnel to also spend time contributing to the services they look after – that is, working side by side with the development teams, implementing features and fixing bugs to advance the products in the marketplace. In that capacity, your passion for the products we develop will have the opportunity to shine.

I thought the emulation only covered x86 not x86_64 because patents still cover 64 bit x86. Would that be more or less of an issue for Apple
Or maybe they had families and mortgages and student loans that they couldn't drop on a dime because they got asked to do something basically unheard of on the nightly news?

To me, vaping appears to be a significantly less harmful to the body than smoking: vaping is just inhaling steam infused with nicotine where as in smoking the fumes of combustion are being inhaled. I also think with vaping there also no risk of passive smoking. I am in amazement of WHO and other health bodies dragging their feet in declaring vaping almost harmless compared to smoking.

Tech Stack: GitHub is a Rails 4 application that is composed of a large monolith and a constellation of services written in Ruby, Go, and a handful of other languages. The app and its services are exposed both internally and externally via a GraphQL API. We primarily rely on MySQL for persistent storage, Redis for temporary storage, and, as you might expect, a lot of git repositories. We rely on Kubernetes for container orchestration.
The parent comment implied that reviewers would be anonymized with this Github-based approach unless the PR was approved, which seems like it would lead to more acceptances so that the reviewers could get credit.

Caffeine is cheaply synthesized, and that’s almost certainly what soda manufacturers use in their products.
First off, you'd still have to escape newlines, and probably keep all other escapes required by JSON. But then the quotes would be unnecessary, thus wasteful. In particular, if I wanted to print a raw string (with escapes) at a particular path I could first use grep(1) to extract that path, then I'd have to write a fairly complex sed(1) command to first remove the path, then remove the quotes, whereas I could otherwise use grep(1) and cut(1) only.

Mind you, I'm sticking to jq, as I know it really well. But I'm thinking of other users here. I think the value of a path-based transformation of JSON is ease of use, which motivates me to think about making it even easier to use, such as by removing those quotes.

The Mafia controlled most gay bars due to their illegal status, and extracted a monetary premium from the gay community. This recognized both the legal risk the Mob was taking and the near-monopoly status it enjoyed. After all, where else were gay folks going to meet? There were often high cover charges and minimum drink requirements. Moreover, gay men were at risk of blackmail from their Mob overlords

> 1) .... why? ...

You're already scratching the surface: vertical integration, backdoors and high prices, power and battery life optimization, lesser effort for an app developer to publish to all platforms, develop-once-run-everywhere, ...

Looks like you're looking for one "The Reason" - but there doesn't need to be one. If a layperson like you or me is able to provide 5-10 reasons, then its likely there could be 100-1000 reasons internally, and all of them add up.

> 2) iOS apps on OS X. Why? Does anybody want this?

Of course yes. As an app developer and as a consumer - convergence and bringing my apps and data across all platforms is no longer an "optional" thing anymore, its mandatory even for a ToDo list app, or email, or IM and everything else. Web apps suck at power efficiency - see the situation with Slack/Electron/Chrome/others on desktop, especially when it comes to stuff like hardware bound work (video/audio, digital image and movie processing, hidpi wor and much more).

If you don't need all this, and all you need is just a chromebook with a browser, its fine, it has and will keep working. It also ties in to why you're confused "why this is required" in so many ways. You may not be the target audience here.

> 3) Given the hellscape of bugs currently present in iOS/macOS, does anybody have faith that Apple is going to be able to navigate a rewrite of macOS on this scale?

This one answers itself. If a fragmented platform doesn't work and has lots of bugs - then it makes all the more sense to invest all resources in one platform/arch to have better focus and lesser bugs to tackle. Everyone doing rewrites know that there will be short-term pains, but that has to be balanced with the larger picture - otherwise we'll just keep hating new releases but there will be no solutions other than "let's do only bug fixes for next 1-2 years" aka platform stagnation, and users still won't be happy :)
Is Apple competent enough to build an equally powerful CPU? Or is it a no-brainer for the kind of money they got?
Usually it's per grant. It's quite common for big companies like Intel to give bonuses to the employees for filling patents.

The attitude of these companies is to incentivize employees to patent whatever they come up with, whether they intend to use the idea or not.
I think you hit the nail on the head here
Video games, perhaps.
Although car rental user experience is not perfect, it gets the job done well enough. Not every type of business in the world needs VC funding, react.js SPA, chatbot and "sharing economy".
A transition to aarch64 would provide a unique challenge to Apple.

The other transitions (68k->PPC, and PPC->x86) brought with them nearly an order of magnitude increased raw performance, which let them paper over some of the emulation overhead in Rosetta or their 68k emulator.

They won't have the same intrinsic benefit working for them this time; it's hard to beat Intel at raw performance, especially single threaded.

>Lack of regulation is guaranteed to benefit already-big, though.

Not neccessarly, it depends on how educated market participants are. Shouldn't a world that becomes more and more informed, connected and educated not become less regulated?

>Unchecked corporations become oligopolies or monopolies.

But not forever, less regulation also means more opportunity for competitors. And educated customers would be aware of the situation and just ignore the monopolies if they can buy somewhere else.
