So, everything we could do with Linux and Skype almost 15 years ago.
It kept a lot of commercial software off the Windows platform and left it on Workstations like SGI and DEC had. The movie houses that were rendering movies were using OpenGL on their renderfarms and its lack of availability on Windows kept windows off those desktops.

The key being that if you've got a technology that works on both server farms for production and workstations for development, you support that so that your OS is a viable candidate for the developer workstation. I don't see a Metal port coming to Linux in any reasonable way any time soon, and I don't see researchers giving up OpenCL or even OpenGL any time soon, so it just means that Apple is going to forego that business.

With the recent github purchase it gives the oddly dissonant experience of having Microsoft being the 'developer friendly' OS company and the MacOS being the 'developer hostile' OS company. Where, and this is important, support for cross platform tools determines hostility or support. I would not argue that Apple is not the best development environment for the Apple platform, or Windows for the Windows platform.
Fund Managers Are Ditching Wall Street for Florida
Personally I think Elm is dying. It relies on a single language designer who works very very slowly. Since Elm came on the scene, vibrant languages with static typing for the front end have sprouted up and are better alternatives, like ReasonML if you want a language with static guarantees and workflow.

Elm could have been something, but I don’t expect it gain any mindshare, and the boat has sailed.

Clojurescript is a dynamic language, with easy JS interop and nearly zero boilerplate, so I still think it is the fastest route to a production app.
Not necessarily. Many media editing apps use OpenCL to speed up processing. I know Capture One uses OpenCL, and I think Adobe's Lightroom and Photoshop use it also. At this point even Pixelmator and less well known alternatives use OpenCL, too.

Sadly, most companies won't have any choice but to port their app to Apple's proprietary APIs. It's really a net loss for consumers because most of these devs have better things to spend their time on than Apple breaking compatibility on a whim.
True. Although I assume you mean speech recognition and not TTS. Good recommendations there would be great :)

It's the negative winning out over the positive. If you genuinely want things to get better you have to stop thinking about how they won't.

If you can't, you're part of the reason why things won't improve. You want your negativity (or your ego) to be proven right.

I've rendered my iPhone pretty inert at this point, in an effort to increase my own online-data privacy and reduce distractions created by the compulsion-driving behaviour programmed into the apps made available to us.

No notifications from anything but iMessage, phone calls and WhatsApp. Do Not Disturb on continually to filter anyone that is not in my contact list. Fb/Twitter/Reddit/etc. apps removed. Time in calendar set once per week to check updates on FB, Instagram & Twitter, timeboxed to an hour.

This has made daily life a lot more pleasant, I feel. However, behaviour on my desktop/laptop remains pretty unproductive once the workday is done. Still burning time every day glued to Reddit, particularly browsing the comments.

What is it with comment sections that have that particular draw? I don't even post on Reddit, but when it comes to the comments on the content there's a somewhat inert desire to not look away, and I know I'm not alone in that.

I'm a GitHub employee (previously a founder of Easel S12 and Flagr W06) and work now in the Product group on the Marketplace. I'm excited to see Nat's commitment to developers and our community. This news doesn't change our resolve towards building a platform that allows our Ecosystem to thrive.

We launched Marketplace just over a year ago and continue to heavily invest in it. We want it to become the place that any entrepreneur in the software space is able able to grow their own successful business. We're just at the beginning of that journey.

Looking forward to what's to come and to seeing more developer tools thrive on our Marketplace.
Thinking in terms of "our side" and "other side" is part of the problem I think. I may pay taxes to one of the involved parties, but that's not a rational reason to root for that side like it was my preferred sports team. It's "my" side only in a very abstract and indirect sense, through some sort of democratic system and accident of geography, but I shouldn't let either of those bias my analysis.
I don't see how the parent adds to the conversation or says anything important about the accuracy of the GP. If the conversation was a contest between googlemike and me then we might need a referee to make sure we played fair. But it's not; we're just trying to advance ours (and hopefully others') knowledge a little.

Would it be better if I anticipated every possible response and addressed it in my GGGP comment? Uhhh ... probably not; that would be a very long comment and I don't have time for it. Sorry if that makes the thread confusing, but while suboptimal, I don't think it's hard to follow.

The bolt is a freaking work of art compared to many vehicles, the ones that immediately come to mind being the Juke, the Aztek, and the newer versions of the GMC Sierra.
I think one good discriminant is: Would you want to explain it candidly?

E.g.: "Starting next week, we'll try to affect your mood as part of an experiment". Or "the new version of our product purposefully tries to depress you a bit" followed by "we didn't like the results of it so we've changed it back".
Surely, every developer will have a backup because it is Git. Unless they're only cloning part of the history.
It won't make Siri do much less, and Siri is already the bottom tier of voice assistants. If Apple was going to allow Siri to talk to Spotify, they'd say that they were going to do it. Users have been asking for it. People who switch from Android notice that they can't do a thing that they used to be able to do.

Aside from that omission, what other things does iOS 12 offer that I'd be missing out on?
- Analytics about notifications: I don't care

- Augmented reality: not compelling

- New proprietary animated emojis: not compelling

- Group Facetime: Facetime suffers from the Telephone Effect. I never use it because at least half of my friends are android people, and we all use Facebook because it's something everyone has. If you're talking about a group of people, it's extremely unlikely that everyone will use iOS, but it's extremely likely that everyone will be on Facebook.

- New features in Photos: I don't use any of the features that have been added to Photos since...iOS 7? New features are just going to continue to slow down my device.

- Various other features: nothing jumping out at me as something I'd risk an OS update over.

It's a nice effort and I'm sure Apple has made the OS update they want to make, but it's not offering anything I've heard anyone ask for.
He is the leader of the lower chamber of the U.S. Congress.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Ryan

My guess is he's being singled out because many (esp. on the left) view him as intellectually disingenuous. He came to prominence as a 'thought leader,' leaning heavily on Ayn Rand's objectivism to inform his 'small government' politics.

ETA: actually, it's more likely the author thinks Ryan's preferred policies are cruel, not that he's disingenuous.

> instead of using DirectX

Maybe Nadella will push for Vulkan support on Xbox, or maybe Xbox will die off, who knows. Unless one of those happens, DirectX is not going away. As soon as consoles come into the equation, you are stuck writing a PAL (or using an existing engine that already has one) because they use proprietary APIs and that's unlikely to change.

It's not ideal, but that's the reality. Apple is following the idiotic status quo, but it's not fair to single them out for it (that being said, at least Microsoft supports Vulkan and OGL on one of their platforms - but the 3rd-party driver developers are mostly responsible for the great support).

AWS Online Tech Talks – June 2018
Main issue would be car seats. Uber offers the option to request a car seat in a few metros, but besides those you'll have to bring your own. I imagine most Uber drivers wouldn't be all that happy waiting for your to install and uninstall car seat(s). Additionally, you'll have to be going to somewhere you can store your car seat when you get there.

Once you get out of car seats and into booster seats, I could see it as pretty workable. Booster seats aren't all that big and are simple to install. But in CA kids need to be at least 8 years old and over 40 pounds before you can use a booster seat.
Problem with that is that we don't replenish it fast enough for that to work. Maybe with plasma donations but I'm not sure there either.
It's still a blip in their bottom line compared to their mobile devices. It's been pretty clear for years where their priorities are, and I say this as someone who's been an Apple fan since grade school. They've been riding their laurels hard for the last five years when it comes to PCs.
Well most games using OpenGL run like crap anyway on macOS. The Windows version alwys runs better in Windows via Bootcamp.

Maybe the forced Metal usage (however shitty it is to remove support for an open standard) will increase macOS ports of games.

But in reality, 50% games will still be a wine bottle
Finally some progress on notifications. Coming from N years on Android, that's my most annoying point.

Grouped notifications are largely welcomed. I simply disabled those for Twitter/Telegram/Messenger because that's nearly one notif per message (kept Whatsapp because of too much miss otherwise). Hope it's customizable though (app dev or user) because I'd prefer my email notifications from Inbox/Gmail not grouped for different senders.

And the other thing I miss so much is the "auto-dismissal" of notifications. When I read an email in inbox web client on my laptop, the notification for it instantaneously disappeared on my Nexus 5 (just that one notif). Not anymore with my iPhone. If I remember correctly, notifications API only allows a remove all or nothing behavior for apps on iOS. Do you know if there is any progress on that front?
For understanding why that might be, I find this to be an elegant little example: take a pattern of black and white stripes; is it white with black stripes, or is it black with white stripes? The two formulations are identical in consequence of what they describe, even though they frame things inversely. (Of course this is just a metaphor to hint toward something in the nature of language, and is not really a deep scenario if you dig into it.)

It seems likely that the descriptions we formulate in physical theories work because they create a pattern which is isomorphic to patterns we extract in physical measurements—but there's something in the nature of the universe and/or language so that there tends to be many ways to create some linguistic thing which produces exactly the same pattern.

Periodic, discrete symmetry holds, continuous is toast. Interesting.. Maybe there should be a rule of thumb (XKCD?) that says for any intuition one may hold, some researcher somewhere is, at ``this'' moment (in some measuring system) constructing a contrived situation that will break it via some contrivance that is strange in inverse proportion to the homeliness of the intuition? ....And some talky-site-poster (me in this case) is preparing to make it yak about it?
An existential threat to freedom in human societies is scarier than just tyranny in our lifetime.
True, but they didn't remove OpenGL, they simply deprecated it (e.g. don't expect any updates to it, new tooling will not be built around it, etc). That shouldn't affect legacy apps.
Show HN: Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?
This is bad: a hobbyist will be faced with a huge burden to bring anything 3D cross-platform to their audience. In the past, it was possible to use Qt or a nasty GLU/GLUT wrapper to write portable code.

Way back in 2006, in CS175, we implemented almost all of the core 1.5 pipeline in C++. Software OpenGL implementations may not be the fastest, but they’re more or less trivial (quaternions, trapezoid-based triangle engine, painters algorithm, z-buffering, texture mapping, bump-mapping, lighting and various shading models), and therefore accelerate-able with CPU and GPGPU SIMD ops.
Selling the blood was pulling the trigger, both done with intent. Whether that action would result in a death was unknown to them in the strict sense, but they knew there was significant risk. Frankly my example is probably being generous to Bayer since I'd wager the combined probability in the case of Bayer was greater than 1/6.

Whether you want to split hairs over manslaughter or murder doesn't interest me. Anybody who 'plays' Russian roulette with their neighbor is a depraved psychopath who belongs behind bars at the very least. If you played Russian roulette with your neighbor because I offered you $20 to do it, having a monetary motivation wouldn't make you any less a murderer.
You have a constitutional right to privacy from the government. There is no such constitutional right (in the U.S.) that would prevent private surveillance, especially in cases where it is consensual.

I'm in a suburb of Philadelphia. I've driven round trip to Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Atlantic City NJ, Baltimore MD on those CHAdeMO chargers. Always 50 kW available, always working, never blocked, for the 3+ years I've driven two different EVs (currently an '18 Leaf).

The networks all have realtime status via their apps/websites, there's no guessing about whether a charger is working or in-use. The distribution is fking fantastic: most of them are right at the rest stops on the PA turnpike or I95 and other highways, so you don't even get off the highway to charge. Tesla puts theirs in strip malls, so you have to go through a toll, exit the highway, drive through a town, charge, drive back to the highway, go through the toll again to resume your trip.

I work from home with no commute, but I put over 1000 miles a month on my Leaf because it's a great road trip car: a smoother, quieter ride than most luxury cars, that drives itself most of the time with ProPilot, with a nearly 10x larger charging network than Tesla's. Nissan throws in two years of free charging with new Leafs, so for the most part these road trips cost nothing too.
If there isn't one already, I'm sure someone will implement OpenGL on top of Metal when it's needed badly enough. At least they're going closer to the hardware, not further away.
Building hype was never a problem for Tesla. Building cars on the other hand...

This sounds like semantic befuddlement (though, not on Wheeler's part; he was just engaging in wordplay).

Physical laws are not 'laws' in the sense that nature is required to abide by them. They are simply features of natural behavior that have been so overwhelmingly observed that we treat them as axioms.

An example of this is the 'law' of conservation of mass. Strictly speaking, nature does not follow this law. Nuclear reactions and subatomic interactions do not conserve mass. They conserve other quantities, but not mass in and of itself.

The idea that there is no ultimate law of physics is not novel or interesting. It's obvious on its face, unless you do not properly understand what 'law' means in the context of physics.

Correct, assuming a dedicated circuit in the US, code dictates that it'd be 1440W and 1920W for a 15A and 20A outlet, respectively. Continuous loads can only pull 80% of the max circuit load.

In theory, you could also run a 100% rated breaker to pull more power, but the car would have to be able to support it as well.
