I think the single biggest thing they could do to get to $2T is build their own search engine, and ditch google completely.

Based on the series of frustrating searches I did in iTunes last night, Apple either isn't working on this at all, or isn't using iTunes as a testbed.
Why not just figure out a secure way to allow people to vote from their smart phones? I know there are some issues to work out, and some political factions that are very motivated to stop this from happening, but it seems like everything else is a half measure in terms of lowering the friction to voting.
Think about it as database of function calls, ordered by creation time. I'd however call it a log rather than a database - there will be a state your data achieves, but ES becomes the source of truth . DB can still used to contain the current state (however is not needed as ES tracks its own state) and data can be dropped from DB without repercussions, if you don't mind replaying events and have a separation of events that deal with setting data / performing external actions (like sendin emails for example)

To me, the difference is Apple enables Google as the default search engine by default, for everyone, while the app store is stuff the user manually opts-in for by selecting what to install.
Of course I feel a lot better using ssh than using telnet. I just don't want people to discount that this added complexity is the price we pay for the security.
Thanks for this - with the release of the A12X Bionic, I've wanted to do something similar - i.e. build some specialized tools to leverage that CPU for atypical / non-mobile use cases.

I wish Apple would get on with it and include Terminal.App and the FreeBSD user land and Xcode for iOS so we can start running a shell and doing interesting things with this new hardware :-)
I think it would backfire. People would take Monday off, make it a 4 day vacation, and would not make it back in time to vote.
No argument that this chemical is surely much less harmful than arsenic and that america is less polluted than Bangladesh.

And in practice it probably doesn't make sense for the individual in america to worry too much. There aren't really any places on earth you wouldn't have an effect from less dangerous/harder to diagnose chemicals.

But as a society we should still investigate it. A lot of small things summed together can add to something large.

For instance, why has fertility dropped so much? No one knows. Why are lab animals getting fatter? We don't know that either.

Slow burns are harder to sort out, but they can certainly exist.
Agreed. I think Predisolone is probably a bit better than Prednisone too. Yes, the side-effects of Naproxen were not as bad, but I'm only on Prednisolone for 8 weeks. I wouldn't want it for longer, given how sick it's making me feel right now. Thing is, it is being way more effective on the first dose than Naproxen ever was.

"You can’t put all your eggs in a basket given the probability that something is fd."

But you'd be doing that no matter what unless you're running each daemon on a different physical machine. That basket's just called "Xen" now instead of "OpenBSD". Worse, if the hypervisor has a bug that can be triggered from unprivileged guest code (i.e. as a non-root user in the guest OS), then any layers added in the guest are moot.

Actually, the chapter is based on CTM, but seems to be from a more recent work.

"This chapter is partly based on the book [50], familiarly known as CTM, which gives much more information on many of the paradigms and concepts presented here. But this chapter goes further and presents ideas and paradigms not covered in CTM."

I poked around a bit on Van Roy's website, but couldn't find the source. It would be interesting to know what it is.
This is basically where they're headed. .NET Core can now be used for UWP stuff, for instance. It seems to me that they're trying to prevent a situation where people write a bunch of Windows-specific Core code though.

I had been using iCloud for backup up until a DJ gig where I came to realize that upon enabling iCloud it had automatically moved all my AIFF music files to the cloud, leaving only a symlink behind. So that gig was a failure and pretty unprofessional. I disabled iCloud and a few days later kaboom, the Macbook died! I lost everything. My mistake for assuming the SSD could be removed and plugged in via an USB caddy.

Apple replaced everything except the bottom case. I picked up the laptop with 100% charge, tested it was working. I jumped on a flight home (no apple store in my country) and that night kaboom, Macbook died again! What are the odds? I hadn't plugged it in to anything. The eventually agreed to give me a brand new one.

The positive side of this experience was forcing me to use an iMac and only work from home office during specific hourse and to not be attached at the hip to my laptop. Net positive for my wife and I.

Here is a similar article in the same spirit about how Andy Weir mapped his moon base for Artemis: https://www.space.com/38725-artemis-andy-weir-author-intervi...
I know and as far as I know he's trying to improve performance there. If you actually bother to watch the video you will find him ranting hard against mindless OOP practices.

ECS as I understand it is pretty much not OOP. My idea of it I would call Aspect-oriented, i.e. extracting features from artifacts and stuffing them in global tables, which of course separate data by shape. If you look on wikipedia, the first association you will find is also Data-oriented programming (the term from the talk; it is about tables-shaped and cache-aware programming and I believe it was also coined by Mike Acton).

Data-oriented programming stands particularly opposed to OOP which the games industry has found to scale miserably.
> they can work to make that idea a reality, too, if they like.

Do you believe this can be done without coercing some people to modify their behavior that would otherwise not harm others under threat of violence?

That's the crux of my issue with this sort of thing - it's all well and good to hold a position and want to convince others through discourse; it's quite another to pass laws to codify that position so others are forced to live under them.
I can't speak for rlpb, but it's how I read it, albeit not with much confidence. Why? Because "he pauses and says ..." doesn't fit with the interviewer interrupting and not waiting for the answer to be finished -- there must have been enough of a gap for the interviewer to pause and then ask that question.

Gab Is Back, and as Full of Hate Speech as Ever
A historian I'm fond of, Walter McDougall, is writing a trilogy of American history books where a key theme is how the notion of "hustle" is central to what America is. For him, though, the word's dual American meanings of "work hard/move quickly" and "mislead/scam" are closely joined.

I think he's right. So many of these companies that value hustle are up to something ethically suspect. But if you go fast enough and apply enough pressure, nobody really has time to stop and say, "Wait, are we doing the right thing here?"

So although it'd definitely bad for worker health and generally also harms productivity, I think it's great for the profitability of whoever's at the top. And also for sweeping any ethical questions under the rug until after their pockets are filled.
> Almost every major advancement our species has made has been because someone had a theory, figured out a way to test it, and came to a conclusion with some degree of confidence that they were then able to act upon and share with others.

Please don't be proud of ignorance.

TDA200 and LM383 are obviously product or device names. Bruno Murari is obviously a person's name (a design engineer, as the sentence points out!), SGS is obviously a place where one works, likely a company.

You should have no issues with the term "reverse engineering" if you are on Hacker News. So that only leaves "automotive power amplifier using only five pins". You probably know what "automotive" and "five pins" means, though, so even less than that.

And then it's absolutely obvious that you won't know what a "power amplifier" is if you don't have some connection to electrical engineering, but it's useless to point that out. Imagine if every electrical engineer did that on articles on biology, chemistry or economic sciences.

> Apple's networking gear was always aiming to be simple, plug-and-play hardware for people who don't want to think about networking.

This is the real kicker in today's landscape and why it doesn't make sense for Apple to even be in this market, there's no such thing as "plug-and-play" for the majority of consumers these days when for proper functionality you must go into your ISP-provided equipment and disable the WLAN radio, put it into passthrough mode (if that's even possible, some ISP's like AT&T don't even provide equipment with proper passthrough mode), god help you if you use DSL and need to get PPPoE credentials which are automagically configured for you these days by some captive portal when you first plug your equipment in.

It's literally harder to use your own equipment these days than it used to be before every ISP started providing integrated gateways, so the current market for standalone equipment is people who need something other than "plug-and-play" - because they already get that from their ISP (even if the hardware usually sucks, it's good enough for the average consumer who thinks they get "their WiFi from Comcast").

Apple doesn't need to be in networking anymore, there's not a large enough market for products like the Airport AP's anymore and if they actually want to compete they have to battle with the likes of Ubiquiti, Cisco, Ruckus, HP (Aruba), etc. - not ASUS, TP-Link, Buffalo, Netgear, etc. Seeing as they have no plans to revive the Xserve, I doubt they care about having a foothold in wiring closets and datacenters.
If it were just one chemical we should be concerned about your argument would be valid. However, we're in contact with thousands of compounds every day that never had long term safety testing done. Not to mention potential effects caused by the interactions of the different chemicals.
What surprised me was that bitlocker could make use of it. I always assumed that software encryption would be much safer but I had no idea that the in-device hardware encryption could be leveraged by software.
Great news that governments seem to be open to considering the potential medicinal benefits of MDMA & psilocybin.

I know a lot of people talk about "micro dosing" so they can experience the supposed mental health benefits without experiencing the high. Forgive my ignorance, but perhaps someone could explain how the doses in this study compare to a micro dose? What about a "recreational" dose? Or maybe the study dosage falls somewhere between the two?

Ask HN: Are Bad Time Estimates Hurting Software Engineering?
Because the more I think about, the more I think many issues with security/performance/whatever would be made better if managers actually trusted their devs to come up with a reasonable timeframe for their work.

I mean, they already trust most professionals to do their job properly in a reasonable time. You don't see managers yelling at construction workers or lawyers or doctors or chefs to hurry up and get everything done faster. Yet apparently it's fine when done to a dev or designer or marketer or what not.

Would things work better if devs were treated like professionals and left to do the work at their own pace?
> This challenges the view that hardware encryption is prefer-able over software encryption.

WAT? Who ever thought that? For exactly the reason you state, I certainly would not have recommended anyone to ever trust "hardware encryption". And it's not just that firmware tends to be terrible: We had plenty of "secure storage" thingies that weren't.
You're right of course, but it's a crying shame that it's so unobvious what things are.
TIL, people can get addicted to email. It's actually pretty interesting, I didn't know that was a thing.

> that was the primary purpose before, but since .NET Framework will no longer be implementing new .NET Standard versions

.NET Framework 4.8 won't implement .NET Standard 2.1 doesn't mean .NET Framework won't implement new .NET Standard versions.

.NET Framework has been announced previously to be slower-movinh and lower-risk than Core, so it's not surprising that it will take longer for it to support new versions of .NET Standard. That the next Framework release won't incorporate the newest Standard doesn't mean Framework won't advance it's Standard support going forward.
Because we want to focus on solutions that are actually possible.

Smart phones are not secure. Their hardware is not secure. Their operating systems are not secure. The software running on the operating systems is not secure. The network they connect to is not secure. The servers they would need to connect to are not secure. There is no paper trail.

Every argument against voting machines applies 10x more to smartphones.

I say this, while also thinking that if we could securely vote via smartphone we could have a far more functional democracy than we do today.
Yup. The intense self-focus and zero-sum mentality in that line of thinking ignores that a more collaborative approach can get better results for everybody.
At first you asserted: that it's possible that these outcomes could have been a byproduct of a failure to remove barriers to men and women going into workforce's which are majority dominated by their opposite sex.

In fact you asserted that point quite strongly, and the reply was to the effect: "It's possible, but lets not just assume, since many people are already doing that"

At which point you double-down on defending your original position with no data, instead pressuring the commenter to provide you evidence.

You are not being downvoted for having an opinion, you are being downvoted for how you go about having your opinion.
Almost no one in the US has a problem with getting enough food. Maybe substandard nutrition, but no one is going to starve.

Healthcare and education are areas where a common option could make a major difference in people's lives. But I think the "community" has to be pretty large to make a meaningful impact.
> Why not just figure out a secure way to allow people to vote from their smart phones?

Because that's literally impossible with the current state of smartphone 'security'.
one day, that would be wonderful. But frankly, computers and the systems that support them are not trustworthy enough for this, right now. Paper ballots are auditable, if there is a re-count you can trust a bunch of people to sit down and look at the marks on the page.

No, this is pure C++ (non-managed) thing.

It is used strictly in read-only places. It makes absolutely no sense to use things like std::string (and allocate it each time) when you need to pass string or fragment of string or array to consumers.

For write-only access I also have target<T> that safely wraps all memcpy, memmove, strcpy[_s] cases.
AD is all about group policy, logins are merely table stakes. If you want to distribute firewall rules to every machine in your arg AD is the way to go. Ditto for forcing updates (or preventing them), and any other manner of mass configuration. Then there is also centralized logging and auditing.

a. single threaded code

b. extended benchmark duration - no thermal throttling encountered

c. straight forward C compiler - no special code for the GPU unit or whatever

d. main reason is probably memory and cache configuration

I think it is time to consider A(RM) and Intel cores at par. Qualcomm cores maybe X% slower but they will close the gap.

It is now a question of system trade-offs, as designers jangle memory sizes, cache sizes, cores, cooling, vector extensions, etc

This is a really pivotal event.

And dont forget AMD challenging Intel on like-for-like cores.

Its pretty amazing that noone has put together a real ARM alternative for the server side.
It's nice to see the local officials concerned and doing something about the problem, but in many municipalities the local officials are part of the problem.

I think that the mayor of every city should be required to eat a fish caught in the most polluted stream that runs through the city, and state governors should be required to eat a fish caught from the most polluted stream in the state.

To wash it down, each should be required to drink a glass of water from the tap of the area of their jurisdiction with the dirtiest tap water.

This should happen weekly so that the toxins create a real health concern for the officials ingesting them.

We live in a world where most officials allow our natural resources and infrastructure to fail with impunity. This has to change. That we don't see local "watchdog" groups staging these sorts of tastings for television illustrates that the corruption spreads beyond the officials and into the media as well.
