I would expect that Apple would bring back the Rosetta component for such cases (i.e. the same interface to the OS, but now a component doing Intel->ARM dynamic binary translation rather than PWR->Intel dynamic binary translation.)

Actually, maybe dymamic binary translation wouldn't be needed all that often. A new Rosetta would likely also be helped out quite a bit by the fact that modern macOS binaries contain embedded copies of their their LLVM intermediate representation; you could transpile that IR (by patching Intel-targeted intrinsics with ARM polyfills) and then run it through the LLVM optimizer again, and then cache the result. That's a fully static binary translation, and the resulting binaries would probably be pretty fast.

(You'd still need dynamic binary translation for anything with its own JIT, but maybe there are few enough programs with their own JITs—and all such programs are "big" enough in terms of development resources—that Apple can require these to ship an ARM target. In which case, maybe they don't need to build a new dynamic binary translation component at all!)

Changing display layout on modern Linux desktops is really really simple IMO.

You just open display settings and drag them into the layout you want.

It's a minor point, but since you mentioned the scientific method and the Enlightenment, the way the field of anthropology operates is still based to some extent on those cultural specifics so they aren't completely stepping outside of all cultures.

I am suspect of this being true because GDP is measured in several ways, and you can measure the contribution of tech companies through their salaries and profits or through their expenditures and sales to ads. (i.e. their contribution to GDPcan be measured in their revenue)

But this is also a red-herring, its at most an accounting issue, not a real economy issue.

Sadly I know. But you already needed to wash traditional bed dressing, actually one more sheet. The task of making the bed is much simpler with duvets, at least for me: I just take the thing with both hands, shake it a little and place it all over the bed. Compare that with placing correctly the upper sheet, the blanket and the covers. It's like ten seconds vs one or two minutes.

Show HN: Fastjs.link – a link shortener for NPM packages
> Apple should actually go out and understand why developers are lukewarm on their machines, and if they're not or just ignoring one of those audiences, then they're doing so at their own peril.

They did but only recently, it's why they've redoing MacPro and released iMac Pro, which was a good step in a way but it didn't help. They've admitted to failing the devs on this in that rare interview last year when they were talking about Mac Pro.

The question is, will they apply the same lessons to MacBook Pro? They need to step up on the next generation and if they fail to do so, Microsoft is getting my money as I liked playing with Surface Book.

I was in attendance and it is worth noting that Bernanke did not take any questions from the audience (apparently unexpected by some of the staffers) and that he did not remain for any of the (illuminating in my opinion) panel discussion that followed.

Suggest that people pay attention to the remarks of Mr. Warsh, who in my opinion actually should have gotten the nod to be Fed Chair -- though I understand completely why that would have been untenable for many.

Last thing I'll add: some of what is said openly during Congressional testimonies, these fora, and the like is knowingly contradicted in private conversations.

I think Chomsky is referring to gravity’s action at a distance, which Newton regarded to be absurd. I’ve heard Chomsky say that, after Newton, “physical” has come to mean “what we more or less understand” — that is, the physical is no longer identical to the material (body), in the sense of a world filled with nothing but billiard ball–like atoms bumping into each other. In the quotation above, Chomsky says that John Locke understood these points, so it may be worth looking at his work.
You've been using HN primarily for political and ideological battle. That's against the site guidelines. It not only goes against what the site is for, it destroys what it is for. Battle and curiosity are disjoint modes, so we can't have both, and curiosity is the one we want.

A modified OS X? It will be macOS or it won't be a Mac. I don't see any need for modification beyond a new major release.

The term "modified OS X" makes it sound hybrid, but I don't see space in apples line for something between a Mac and an iPad.

There's not technal reason to not go with full macOS. It's Unix and it runs on ARM.
If the ARM components enable a better power to weight ratio, these laptops will sell very well.
DROID 4 making the list is impressive, and there's a decent chance I may want to try it out someday with postmarketOS on it. AFAIK, it was basically the last modern phone with a keyboard slider, and I have one lying around somewhere.
I get the feeling since the whole 'i' thing is iOS that iBook might be an iOS portable and we'll get some other name for the Mac. An iOS portable would compete fairly well in schools where Chromebooks are winning and iPads are not.

"Developers will sometimes break APIs. How is this a Python-specific issue? These things are literally happening everywhere."

That's actually not happening literally everywhere, that's part of the development culture surrounding (not only) Python. In the C world, maintaining a stable API is the norm, not the exception.

Yes, PHP and Node.JS and Ruby all are just as bad or worse than Python. That's the whole point!

> Odd as it may sound, full time jobs are essentially what cause involuntary unemployment because you are not market testing your position on a daily basis.

Sure, it might decrease labor flexibility which can increase unemployment, but how big an effect can that actually be? And what is the proposed solution to fix that if its an actual problem?

> The gig economy is an attempt to deskill...

The gig economy is not de-skilling workers, its consuming the labor of unskilled workers because the price-ratio works. Those very same companies pay 6 figure salaries to a lot of people, that provide utility to the company as well. Neither by design, or in theory, do companies increase their profits by reducing the skill of their labor, they do it by increasing their productivity.

I see a tenuous relationship with the reserve army concept of Marx trying to be used here, but I'm not buying it.
Very funny. Latvian letters as a bug.
A recent interview with Anthony Bourdain
Yep. I see this too. Mac app store apps have been dual architecture for a long time. 32 bit and 64 bit. Adding ARM as another compilation target will take some work but is doable.

Maybe they go to three architectures in the app store, or maybe they only support ARM after 32 bit is dead. Which works out nicely with the recent deprecation of 32 bit apps.

Die EI, die
I attended a "leadership" panel discussion yesterday. The panelists interviewed a local executive on his leadership style, which he called "outsider leadership." Basically, he said he was always the smart kid in the room, never the popular kid--an introvert that preferred to study in the library over play on the playground. Now he runs a 100MM a year organization.

The panelists, a couple of executives, kept talking about emotional intelligence (EI) this and emotional intelligence that. But this guy, the successful interviewee, basically said repeatedly, "I don't have any advanced EI. I think hard about problems, set up the right strategy, and ensure my team executes. I don't chit chat with the team about Suzie's softball game or what they did over the weekend."

This just didn't compute with the panelist.

It never sank in with them that general mental ability (GMA), often measured as IQ, is the single biggest predictor of performance and career accomplishment. This relationship holds true whether you are a maintenance worker, computer programmer, or executive.

EI research is in its infancy. Most of it is based on single-source, self-reported measures (surveys or inventories where participants rate themselves).

You are really putting words in my mouth here.

Christianity began as belief in one guy, Jesus Christ, as the only begotten son of god. He himself predicted that much would be done in his name that he would disavow.

That's not my judgement. That's in the Bible. (It's also a blatantly obvious social observation that intent gets bastardized by others with some incompatible agenda on a routine basis.)

Gay rights continue to be fought for across the globe. There are many countries where it is illegal to be gay. Would you say this makes the existence of countries inherently evil?

I hope we will someday see a world where neither countries nor religions persecute homosexuals. But I am not saying that only the good parts count here. I am merely rebutting the assertion that has been made that religion is all downside with no upside.

Still surprised, when I hear from friends about C, C# etc codebases (for web development). There are out there.

Edit: Reading through depends on what you need. I suggest you take some time to look at the tooling provided and what you need (if you have prior experience on the field great). Don't let the hype carry you. Yet, good idea to listen, read or chat with people that had a similar problem to solve (with a grain of salt).
nappy-doo answered the question very well. One thing that should be mentioned is that a bad inliner actually removes information that might be useful for future optimisations.

I am very familiar with the literature on the hard problem. It's remarkable how often people respond to this line of argument by putting the words "feeling" or "understanding" in italics. I don't know what kind of causal explanation you want for pain or grief. They are processes in an organism, and we construct models of the self to help us get through the day, as Dennett has elucidated many teams.

To answer your first question: I believe in puzzles, not mysteries. When we don't know how something works (like a spray bottle), we call it a puzzle, unless it challenges some sacred theological or humanist tenets, in which case we call it a mystery. I don't agree with the comparison to gravity --- mechanics has well defined and refined concepts that allow us to create more general and parsimonious models with precision. "Consciousness" and "feeling" and "experience" are folk terms with neither a precise definition nor a clear process for arriving at a precise definition.
I agree. To my eye it more closely resembles small group dynamics research, including the findings.

Any reasonable definition of consciousness should IMO be a continuum, so your laptop has some consciousness (not very much).

I don't think concepts of like or hate are meaningful for the consciousness of your laptop. These kinds of responses probably arise from the kinds of goals that are created for agents by processes of natural selection.

This is a big tell. Don't fall for Marketing spin above. They didn't take this threat seriously, will they take any others seriously until it hits the mainstream media? I would look closely at those you trust with authentication if you outsource this critical piece of infrastructure.
> The specific idea behind the security researcher’s phishing scam was a way to target a website that uses Auth0 authentication. Auth0 supports regional subdomains: auth0.com, eu.auth0.com, and au.auth0.com. A bad actor could potentially attempt to scam users of a website or application that uses one of the subdomains by registering any of the other regional subdomains while using the same name. The attacker could then set up a custom page on their subdomain and, assuming that they had access to the email addresses of users, send them a link and attempt to solicit secure information from them. Similar scams could be attempted using any domain that users could mistake for a legitimate one.

I'm genuinely curious... why is registering an account on auth0.com doesn't automatically provision it on regional sub-systems eu/au.auth0.com? Is this a common pattern with other companies in general?
I'd think it could be helpful to flip this question on its head: find things that excite you, that you intrinsically find motivating. Put some energy into getting re-acquainted with that energy within you rather than trying to get excited about something you have lost interest in and learn to cultivate that energy and see where it takes you.
One of those reasons I want IPFS to become a given part of the browser/web/internet infrastructure. If it was integrated as part of the web browser your web app could upload straight the local ipfs daemon. If someone wanted to abuse it they'd literally only be wasting there own disk space. The files would become unaccessible when the browser was closed, but an entire service industry could develop in top of storing you IPFS content across the network, for a small fee, you could even provide that for your users. But no need to worry about that upfront, the users barrier to entry is low, no account creation, no cards, and the content is available to share with other users immediately.

The conference sounds like a nightmare for serious scientists and philosophers. Consciousness is a broad term with lots of nuances - (https://plato.stanford.edu/archives/spr2018/entries/consciou... presents a good summary). Following unconventional and novel approaches to understanding consciousness are fine, but the Deepak Chopra style dancing on the linguistic vagueness is infuriating. I am glad I did not attend this conference and instead opted to present some ideas at ASSC conference later this month.
I'm aware that the Bible says we are all sinners, we should value humility etc. I also grew up in The Bible Belt and have met plenty of Christians. Regardless of what the Bible asks of people, the reality is that attending church has de facto become a means to signal goodness and many Christians don't really accept other people who do not themselves identify as Christian.

Public identification as Christian is a means to open certain doors socially. There are plenty of people who follow that script for the social benefit it entails. As just an obvious example that comes to mind, my understanding is most mobsters are Catholic.

Chomsky defends monism in regards to the mind-body problem. For him there is no coherent distinction between a physical body and a non-physical mind, there is no clear boundary between what is physical and what is not physical.

He takes Newton's gravity as an example. In the traditional mechanistic worldview 'bodies' or objects interact like cogs in a machine by direct contact with each other. With the discovery of gravity the material realm was expanded to forces like gravity which operate at distances, or electromagnetism which doesn't describe things in terms of physical objects but rather immaterial rules.

So according to Chomsky the definition of what is 'physical' kept expanding and became more and more abstract, and our view of the world has very little to do with the mechanical clockwork world of earlier centuries.
Yep, I've used that too. But I wonder if there are any hard problems translating in the other direction.
