I purchased one of the first Macs that ran on a PowerPC processor and I was profoundly disappointed. Performance was no better than a 68040-based Mac and it was pretty crashy. As time went on and software was updated that machine became less crashy but performace was always poor.

I don't have any insider information, but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple felt like they needed a backup plan in case the PowerPC alliance was unsuccessful at matching the speed growth of Intel's products. I'd say the G3 was the first PowerPC CPU that impressed me, I think Apple only stuck with PowerPC for two more generations (the G5).

So much work and waste. By design it tends towards a specialized group controlling the system. Large miners just replace bankers and it cost more to do anything.

Well there is a tendency to still use Fahrenheit during summer like "it's in the 80s", and "it's in the 90s" this month, but most use Celcius for winters when it gets below freezing. There must be a grey area in the 50s and 60s F. Both approaches often seen in headlines. :)
The threshold for “museum worthy” is fairly high in ancient cities such as Rome.

Chances are builders tried to avoid finding artifacts as much as possible. They certainly did in Istanbul when extending the subway: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/08/31/the-big-dig
The only hope the Toronto tech scene has to escape from its mediocrity is, ironically, a renegotiation of Nafta, or a major change in government policy on immigration.

As long as the cost for privileged access to the US market is open season to poach the best and brightest of our labour market, and a local tech scene too addicted what amounts to a subsidy in the form of large immigration numbers that prevent wages here from adjusting upwards to US levels, very little will take root here beyond satellite offices and near-shoring, and the brain drain will continue.
Oh! On our web page. Good catch!
How long would it have taken to get BeOS on Intel to OS X 10.5 level?

Or, perhaps Apple was considering switching earlier than they did. Maybe they thought G3->G4 was going to experience the problems that didn't end up cropping up until G4->G5.

Apple was working on X86 compatibility as early as Mac OS 7 in 1992. [1]

>So then you'd agree that there is as much empirical evidence for a dual process model as there is for many other models.

No, because a dual process model spreads itself too thin: it doesn't coherently explain many experiments with a single theory, but instead rewrites the theory for every distinct experiment.

Oddly, I've never heard any stories of people standing up to Jobs. They just stand there and take it. What was the worst he or any boss could do? Fire you? So what. Quitting is not your only option.
> However, I've heard that Google is kind of going on a tangent with its own U2F implementations, emphasizing an old-school implementation instead of the Web Authentication Standard that's pushed by the W3C.

Chrome has supported "U2F" (the first FIDO spec) for a while and all support for Security Keys in the last few years has been via this protocol.

But we're implementing the W3C Web Authentication (webauthn) spec and you can already use it in Chrome in place of U2F. All effort is going into webauthn now and the U2F code is frozen. At some point I'll announce a sunset date for U2F support in Chrome and happily delete that code. (Just the API, U2F keys will continue to work via webauthn.)
I can't count how many HN threads announce the shuttering of some startup that I never heard about and would have used. Alternatively, consider how many products which do not "mitigate more cost than alternatives" actually succeed.
LOL Seems more cost efficient long run to address lifestyle than deal with proximal consequence
Wait, what's wrong with EPYC?

EPYC 7601P is 32-cores for roughly $2200 or so. And unlike Power9, the motherboard is "only" $550 or so (Power9's cheapest motherboard is like $1000 from Raptor Talos II Lite).

From what I've seen, EPYC roughly has the same Monero-mining speeds as Power9. All other benchmarks are in favor of EPYC, as x86 optimized code (Z-lib, H264, Apache, Postgres... etc. etc.) doesn't perform as well on Power9.

Power9 scales higher, but that gets cost-prohibitive. I think the typical person will only buy computers that cost less than $15,000 (Dual EPYC 7601 / SuperMicro system / 256GB of RAM)

Even then, the CPU utilisation is low, having one or two spare cores is enough to reap any latency benefits.
Agreed, at best it is a picture of the market for drug X at the genetic level. My biggest fear is that my close family members use this service exposing key data about me and I can't really prevent it, only encourage them not to.
Awesome, thanks! Those automated profiles are indeed often wrong or outdated.

Thanks for all the great stories from the NeXT era -- either you have an incredible memory or took very good notes during those years. The level of detail in the stories sets them apart from many you read.
No, I think you're falling for exactly the problem addition of data creates: the discussion has shifted to the data, and jumped past the whole issue of immorality.

It's now "we don't steal because it doesn't work (under implied assumption of some eventual equilibrium if everyone steals)". BTW, under assumption of that "we" steal from "them", and "they" don't steal from "us", the data could support stealing. The data, conditions and objectives to maximize can also imply moral judgements, but are easy to launder in datasets, e.g. "better for the economy" sounds objective, but who is given access to benefit from that economy is a very moral judgement (touching hot topics like immigration).

But the data is irrelevant, because the argument should stop at "we don't steal, period".
What if Mark acquires you?
What a damn shame.
I'll put it in a mildly hyperbolic manner, to match the quality of the source this article came from:

Toronto gets the sloppy seconds of America's tech industry; the Canadian tech grads who couldn't move to the US, the Indian tech migrants who couldn't get US visas, the "startups" who couldn't get US VC funding, tech conferences etc. etc.

That some companies are seeking to lower their costs but retain "North American culture" by transferring some functions to Toronto is not an indication of the strength of Toronto, but its weakness. Cheap dollar, far cheaper salaries, cheap(er) office spaces, far cheaper politicians to buy if necessary, etc.

When anyone in the North American tech industry can name 5 bustling Canadian startups from the top of their mind, then maybe we can talk about the Canadian tech industry doing well. Until then, it's about as relevant in tech as Bangalore and jobs there are as relevant as any of those located in other outsourced, cost-reducing "tech centres".
I think they knew at the time that Motorola processors weren’t quite living up to their promise. Theory didn’t seem to line up with practice and while they were technically faster per clock it didn’t always translate to performance. Intel also cleared some pretty incredible technical hurdles during this time period as well.

I’ve no doubt that internally Apple engineers knew this.

> Sadly, there are a lot of backlashes against it.

I went to New Zealand last year for 3 weeks. It was the most beautiful place I've visited in my life. And not just visually beautiful, but audibly beautiful too. The ambience made for an incredibly serene experience like none other.

Nothing ruined those experiences more than when someone with a drone showed up to drown out all the noises of nature.
Agreed. I moved from Montreal to SF a few years back and although my rent tripled, so did my income. The net result is much more savings than I would have gotten if I had stayed in Canada.

If you're a saver/investor then it makes much more sense to move to the US for a little while, save up a decent sized nest egg, then move back.

When it comes to products, the real driver is pain relief rather than usefulness.

There are a lot of useful contraptions and services out there. Unless those innovations solve a pain point that I'm experiencing, I still don't have a huge incentive to use them.

As an over the top example, when the iPhone came out it wasn't just a better phone. It solved serious pain points from all of the existing technology. Terrible software, terrible cameras, terrible data transfer, terrible mobile web browsing, terrible voicemail experience of dialing in and listening through an audio menu, terrible PDA experience of needing a separate device like a Palm Pilot. There were so many real pain points that people were experiencing that the iPhone solved, there's a reason people called it the Jesus Phone.

That's not the same as somebody starting a small business of course. Even adding better restaurant selection to an area goes a long way to solving a pain point. The area where I live has a serious shortage of quality "healthy" food options near by...a single one opened up that fits the bill and tastes good and it's constantly packed.

In dense metropolitan areas, there are usually businesses setup to address just about anything. The more rural you get, there's less of a market but more of a need.

On the internet and in the software world where the entire world is the marketplace, it's really hard to find needs that have not yet been addressed so there are a number of fast-followers and incremental improvements.

A lot of focus ends up being on technology that could potentially create new markets, like IoT, etc.

Earth might still have stronger fundamentals, but it is good to have options. And, perhaps more importantly, technology developed in pursuit of becoming a multi-planetary species might very well help here on earth too - both in our current development path and in case of disaster.
I spoke on Mastodon recently about Protonmail - it's a scam and I cannot recommend it to anyone. They own your email, they don't support open protocols including SMTP and IMAP and the only way to export your emails is through a proprietary end-user application. They excuse this nonsense by saying that it's necessary for encryption, which is blatantly false. Their security is also based on trusting ProtonMail, since they could easily siphon off plaintext at the SMTP level or secretly modify their JavaScript to exfiltrate your private keys from the web browser. Genuinely secure systems do not require you to trust their operators.

>PGP, because it is built on top of email, is therefore also a federated encryption system. Unlike other encrypted communications systems, such as Signal or Telegram, PGP doesn’t belong to anybody, there is no single central server, and you aren’t forced to use one service over another. We believe encrypted communications should be open and not a walled garden. ProtonMail is now interoperable with practically ANY other past, present, or future email system that supports the OpenPGP standard, and our implementation of this standard is also itself open source.

This is rich. Why don't you start with the far more fundamental and important standards of SMTP and IMAP, Protonmail? Why don't you open source your desktop & mobile applications or your bridge? What a joke.
Business licenses and files on a computer are the least expensive thing for tech startups in my opinion. The real cost is the opportunity cost that the entrepreneurs and even the early employees take on by working for low/no pay when they could be making much more from big companies and consulting.

With how much money is being thrown around in salaries and liquid RSU's these days, the costs of creating or joining a startup have never seemed higher (granted I'm relatively new to the industry).
I love the premise behind data driven giving, but it's really hard. In tech, we are all used to running experiments to determine whether things really work. But experimental design is not trivial and really benefits from expensive specialists. Bad analysis and experimental design has many silent failure modes in both the false positive and false negative directions. I have to imagine that these reports that OP talks about charities sending their donors are full of broken methodology. "We caused 10k kids to graduate high school!" when 9990 would have graduated anyways.

If anyone knows of a way for a charitably minded data scientist to donate time and expertise, I'd love to hear about it.
NeXTSTEP 3.1 with Intel support shipped in May 1993, so it must have been a few years before that.
100% this, for sure. you don't have to sell me I'm a microbiologist-- my username here is a tribute to a bacterial genus that drives cholera, necrotizing fasciitis and other nasty stuff. We need new antibiotics now, and it is an economic problem at least as much as a scientific one.

I'm not CPU bound at home at all. Still have an i7 for those rare moments of raw file to jpeg export with Lightroom.

Is this specific to P-256? I thought Curve25519, for example, didn't have this problem because it didn't have any invalid points.

I will only sell to Megaupload.

It's my intention to build the company of my life and run the service forever. I hate the idea of a BigCo buying us, shutting down our service, and screwing over all the devs that trusted us. It would have to be a pretty ridiculous amount of money to make me sell out like that (in case you're listening Mark).

About time. It just saddens me that after so long dealing with the myriad problems of selling through the AppStore, the response has to come from a third party instead of Apple. Well, I guess it's developers solving developers' problems.

Question: How does RevenueCat data integrate with my data pipeline? Seeing all the metrics and charts in your dashboard is great, but if I already have a data solution set up, is there a way to export all the revenue data from RevenueCat into our infrastructure?
Can you use local storage and upload local applets to these new keys?

The main use case is authenticating under Secure Shell on a Chromebook without having to configure the key on e.g. Linux first:

Anecdotally I've read multiple threads where dogs were socially anxious around vacuum cleaners. It seems they weren't sure of the large growly thing's pack position.

Funny enough the resolution is for the alpha to scold the vacuum in front of their dog(s) thus re-establising pack order.
You spend every other day teaching them to be nice to humans, its not surprising they will apply it elsewhere. We don't really want aggressive dogs and so we breed it out of them.
Are they really trying here to get igNoble due to essentially wasting research money?

My experience with the SE has been that it goes to band 12 first or if its moving fast within a cell. Then it ‘settles’ into band 4 or 2 on tmobile after about a minute.

My old modem phone I purposefully got without band 12 because it saturates so easy, now I just lock bands and speedtest until I find most reliable with the current.

>>It's really not. You will end up with more absolute savings by working in the bay area, than you will in Toronto in a similar living situation.

Almost every expat Canadian working and saving in the US also has a little voice in the back of their mind reassuring them that even if the absolute number of saved US dollars is the same as saved Canadian dollars, there's a really good chance their US dollars will go further [when|if] they move back home in X years due to the historical exchange rate.
Museums in Rome would throw them out, their basements are already full.

I know it's controversial, but I personally think that there should be the possibility for the State to sell (or "permanently loan" for money) significant amounts of minor artifacts to other nation-states. Countries like the US, Britain or Australia would build academic cathedrals around the crappiest 1% of the stuff we have to stockpile in Italy.

Although temporarily displaced by Rust, this additions means Ada+SPARK is back to being the safest solution for system programming. The only thing it's lacking is a certifying compiler or translation validation. Compiler errors can invalidate the safety of the language. Safe subsets of C have it beat there with stuff like C0, CompCert, and KCC. There's even memory-safe variants of x86 assembly. Fortunately, there is ongoing work on the source-to-assembly verification of SPARK programs.

UTC is good but not enough; it may still bite you in the behind.

What's the time difference between these 2 timestamps:

2016-12-31 23:59:50 UTC (unix time 1483232390)
2017-01-01 00:00:10 UTC (unix time 1483232410)

That's right: 21 seconds, due to the added leap second 23:59:60.

So then your next option is to use TAI (international atomic time). Of course for most applications, this extra/missing leap second doesn't matter.

And that's the crux of the issue. Given a level of abstraction, we're comfortable with a sufficient level of accuracy because it's the most convenient for 99% of the use cases. It takes a widely adopted tooling to bump the abstraction to a more accurate representation. In UNIX land, going from YYYYMMDDHHMMSS to a number of seconds has been a huge improvement. It's comfortable to use because all environments have the tooling to go back and forth from seconds to human-readable dates.

Try to use TAI and you start feeling a lot more lonely (ever tried to read logs timestamped in TAI? fun!) Most OS and server processes are used with the tradeoff that it's not a big deal if we have 2 events spaced a second apart and both timestamped the same (1483232399), since it's not that frequent.
