If you see a man on the Internet and think “this man must be married and his wife must not be interested in this because wives (women) are not interested in these things”... that’s pretty unhealthy. And making a joke about it, and it becoming a social norm is even more unhealthy.

SV/the tech world at large clearly has issues with stereotypes and being inclusive. Why not avoid doing that and just say “friend” rather than making a lame stereotyped “my wife” type joke...
I read the article and while the marking was not interesting to me, the passion and persistence of the author was quite heartening.
There is one thing I do not really understand about this. nVidia releases a macOS driver here http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73628/en-u...

Would it be possible for this driver to add OpenGL/OpenCL and Vulkan support to macOS like it is done on Windows? (Or am I completely misunderstanding how this works)
why on earth would I want this instead of a local service if I absolutely need (which I don't with clean architecture and clean code)

You know, you're right; I find myself reaching for a "smashes head against brick wall" emoji right about now.

Oh, damn; I just described that emotion with words. I guess I'm still right.

Also if I had said 'partner' or 'friend' instead of 'wife' the comment would probably have been less humorous, as it plays on a cliche situation. I'd rather not live in a world where I'd have to neuter such a statement in the name of absolute correctness over common sense.

To be clear, are you saying you're okay with a lack of repairability in BMW electric cars because that's standard for electrics? You're free to your perspective, but I find it a little odd. My reaction would be to simply not buy any electric cars at all. Is there any reason why the owner shouldn't be able to realign headlights in an electric car when they are able to do so with ICE cars?

Having seen a big Microsoft acquisition from the inside, I can also tell you that this dynamic occurs:

Microsoft is a gigantic organisation with very good working conditions. This leads to people with very long tenures working in highly defined and specialised roles within the company. Career development does happen, and is actively encouraged by Microsoft, but you're usually moving into a role which is just as niche as your last.

When a major acquisition occurs of a smaller organisation, it's usually done with a promise of keeping independent leadership and a degree of organisational separation. However, as middle-management staff rotate out of the smaller company naturally, the roles that they vacate are very attractive to Microsoft employees who want to have a bit more of that start-up feeling, and a slightly wider remit to make change.

So through a kind of organisational osmotic pressure, even if the leadership of the acquired company remains independent, the middle ranks of the acquired company become permeated by life-long Microsoft-ers. None of this is particularly bad - I just want to make it clear that Microsoft's definition of independence is not everyone's definition thereof.
> Why don't they declare an emergency on the actual problem, chronic shortages of housing supply, and reform their zoning and tax/rent entitlements to fix it

Because chronic shortage of housing supply is not a problem for local government[0], it's a deliberate and rational response to the demands (including binding constraints like Prop 13) placed on local governments by the citizens of the State.

[0] the institutional government, at least; California is a direct democracy with limited delegation from the citizenry to the institutional government, and this is a problem for the citizenry-as-government, of course.
Yup, I follow him on Twitter. :)

Regardless of how correct he probably is, the fact of the matter is that there's overwhelmingly more developers on the UIKit side and that API is what people clearly prefer - the only ones voicing otherwise are old Cocoa-heads. It's ridiculous that it's 10 years later and Apple is only now confronting this.

I for one should have realized what it was more or less immediately, but as a young kid in college, didn't. I don't claim that it was particularly hard to see at that point as it was well into the mid 2000s, but I wasn't particularly tech savvy or worldly yet.

By the time I deleted my facebook, no one even saw my goodbye post on their "feed." It was a different internet than the one on which I naively signed up. I, and a host of others, enabled that new internet. I have much less interest in this one.
> Is he saying these are unique to Apple?

Yes, they said:

> Of course, they can do this since it does not go against their incentives like other companies that make money on the time spent of the platform

The implication of that sentence being that other companies haven't done it and that other companies wouldn't do it.

They (local government bodies) can't fix the problem; it's a state Constitutional rule that can only be altered by the citizenry. The State legislature—but not the impacted local bodies—could propose a fix, but can't enact one.
Pro 3D apps from Autodesk tend to use DirectX. Certainly 3dsmax and Revit use DirectX over OpenGL and have done for a while.

The same is true for plenty of other “Pro” apps on Windows.

What you're saying about not having to share your derived work with others is completely untrue. You can read the statement by the CEO of wordpress made towards Wix https://ma.tt/2016/10/wix-and-the-gpl/ - Wix used GPL source code from Wordpress and WP's CEO implied that it was illegal and demanded that Wix release it publicly.

I'm not saying GPL is wrong but it's definitely less permissive/free than an MIT license.

For porting maybe, but after the initial framework is released, new apps will just be built with both platforms in mind. Newer versions of UI Kit will probably shift people in the Apple Kit direction and then slowly deprecate all no compatible features.

So unless app developers don't upgrade their app, sort of like moving to 64 bit, then yes everything would be a non trivial effort.
>Have you ever been to the DMV?

Last time I was there (California DMV) it was to pick up a custom license plate. I made an appointment and was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I spent more time in the parking lot removing my old plates and installing the new ones.

>Social Security Administration?

Had to get my Social Security replaced a few years ago. Was in an out in a reasonable time (comparable to a doctor appointment)

>The Post Office

USPS works fine for me.

Also had no problems getting a business license from either the City of Mountain View, or San Francisco. The staff at Mountain View City Hall were also very helpful in verifying that local zoning permitted me to run my software consultancy out of my home (it does).

The thing is, there are actual parts of government that are terrible. Caltrans (aka California Department of Transportation) is quite incompetent. Apparently, if there's a big transportation project in California, often the first goal is to try to figure out how to get someone other than Caltrans to run it. When that fails, you get messes like the new Bay Bridge.

The VTA (who runs public transportation in Santa Clara County), also seems quite inept, with light rail lines that are little used and obviously dumb ideas like a BRT lane on El Camino Real.

It would be nice if people who are skeptical of government would direct their skepticism at the parts that are the most broken, rather than just pulling out Stereotypical Examples of Government Incompetence (DMV, Post Office) that actually work fairly well most of the time.
I believe, as of now, there are more AAA games running Metal than there are running Vulkan. Pretty much every new macOS release is running Metal now, meanwhile a game running Vulkan on PC is considered a rarity.
My current laptop is a cheap Dell from 2015. It contains an unimpressive Celeron N2840 @2.16GHz but it is surprisingly usable for Web and office tasks and very low power (I never hear the fan). So I think you should also benchmark it against current Celerons (N3710).
But there are decentralised social networks (e.g. Mastodon). What are your thoughts on those?
My email client has full access to the contents of my email but the author of said client has none. Although my client has credentials these are stored locally and like my email never communicated to the creator of my client.

If the device makers applications merely fetched data on behalf of users and displayed it on their machine it would be no more of a problem than my email client.

In the first place it looks the apis provided access to data the users had opted not to share in the second place the times article seems to state that partners partook of that data themselves rather than merely acting as a client example

"Facebook acknowledged that some partners did store users’ data — including friends’ data — on their own servers. A Facebook official said that regardless of where the data was kept, it was governed by strict agreements between the companies."

Before deciding if facebook's response was reasonable did you even bother reading the times article?
Hypothesis: There are more machines in consumer hands which support Metal than DirectX.

This may sound crazy, but remember there are billions of iOS devices out there in the world, and I don't think X boxes plus windows game machines count in the billions.

I would imagine that ASL speakers have usage patterns that they would like to express via text messaging without simply “translating” them into formal written English. That’s no different than why English speakers use emoji (“” instead of “I am happy”) or informal onomatopoeia (“uggh” instead of “I am annoyed”).
People would be free to make use of the creative expressions of others, yes, but it would be more like MIT/BSD than GPL. All else equal, anyone would be free to make a modified Linux and publish the compiled binary without being required to publish the source code. What you describe would require not only abolition of copyright law but also a new copyleft law.
What good is it? TLS SNI already exposes the domain name. Even if that is addressed in the far future, you still can't hide the IP addresses you're connecting to. The only real engineering problem with DNS is authentication, which is adequately solved (however poorly) with DNSSEC and operating systems shipping local resolvers.

Moreover, whatever promises CloudFlare and others make, they're still centralization points and therefore ripe targets for infiltration and exfiltration.

The moment browsers actually solve the privacy problem will be the moment 9/10ths of the internet goes poof and disappears along with their monetization strategies. As long as Google is viable then these are just tricks arguably doing more harm (increasing reliance on centralized vendors, increasing complexity of the software stack) than good.
As a single batch job that won't be repeated this doesn't sound like a good candidate for ML. ML is more suited to on-going processes.

Why would you use server instances in Azure to do ML? Something like Google CloudML (I'm sure that the other major cloud providers do managed Tensorflow as well I've just never tried it on their platforms) would be a better fit to a project with only two technical staff. Your two staff probably spent a combined total of one-person-month working on infrastructure.

Your issue with small data is very real. People need to stop trying to do ML on small datasets. The results will be sub-optimal.
All sensible choices last only till antagnositc action occurs.

In the case of legal documents -

1) the base scenario itself is terrible - attempts to make credit card terms easier to read have resulted in a huge increase in the amount of text required to read it.

2) leaving the base case aside - the moment a company or individual decides that they can get away with preying on customers, sensible options no longer work- no normal person is going to beat the legal team.

Your position is a theoretically sound position but it does not survive contact with very common real world scenarios.
How is it possible to be a developer when a kid is 6 years old?
Nat Friedman in his "Hello, GitHub" letter saying "I've been a developer since I was six". (https://natfriedman.github.io/hello)

How is that possible?

I have a 7yo daughter, she is in the first grade of school. She barely can read and count. I understand she is not a wunderkind. I guess there are a lot of smarter kids around. But even with this knowledge, she is ahead of the majority in her class.

I'm trying to play with her in "Scratch Jr" app (https://www.scratchjr.org) and teach her a little bit algorithmic thinking. But she can do that on the very base level. She still struggles with the number of numbers she needs to put in the building blocks.

Can I call her a developer? In my understanding: No!

Also each user's "home page" of notifications. When I worked exclusively on open-source projects, it became my daily "task list". It was very efficient to have it all in that UI.
The nail-painting one can be used to be a bit ‘sassy’, so it’s like saying “don’t worry, I know other ways to find myself a bed for the night ;-)” but in a more nuanced way that I at least find funnier.

It’s probably not a universal meaning but my point is that emojis can be used to express more than just basic emoticon ‘UNIVERSAL EXPRESSION OF HUMAN HAPPINESS’ style things.

> Git has arguably been falling behind in terms of features for quite a while now

It’s all I’ve ever really used, and I’ve never seriously considered alternatives. What features in other VCSs are interesting?
State Management in React Apps
PUBG was ported from desktop. It originally started out as an ARMA 2 mod, was turned into PUBG, and only much later ported over to mobile. It's a perfect example of the kind of game that can come out of the desktop gaming community. You don't get games like PUBG, Minecraft, Starcraft, Terraria, Civ, Kerbal, and so on without desktop gaming.

The games that grow out of the app store ecosystem are games like Candy Crush, Clash of Clans, Clash Royale, etc. I'm not saying good games don't exist on the platform, I'm saying the platform is conducive to low quality games. Almost all of the great games on the app store did not grow out of the platform.
Gogs: a lightweight self-hosted Git repo server
I'm running ~600k to ~800k chrome sessions a day, each in a new browser process (no tabs/pages) because of cookie interferences.

The magic is hidden in chrome's command line parameters which can significantly speed up the browser start.

I'm not using headless because I need an extension but most command line switches also apply to headless I guess...

A prepared profile/user directory also helps speeding up things.
You trust CloudFlare today. Tomorrow CloudFlare could become a Comcast subsidiary.

The willingness of people to put all their stock in a corporation with a promise of benign benevolence boggles my mind. I'm not particularly cynical, but I recoil at the notion that you'll now need an entire HTTP+TLS stack just to do DNS "properly", and that 99% of people will be using a single DNS provider.

EDIT: It's not even benign benevolence. I see that DOH includes server push. So now it's obvious how CloudFlare will monetize this--they're positioned to be able to push DNS updates directly to clients, reducing latencies when domain names change, particularly automated DNS topologies for load balancing, failover, etc. Reducing latencies, that is, if you're a paid CloudFlare customer.
