I use Ableton in a VM and it works great, but I wouldn't use it for live performances just to be sure. I haven't 100% eliminated all crackling yet. If I had more cores and moved Windows to a separate SSD, then I think that would completely get rid of crackling. Crackling only happens because of DPC latency, cache misses, or heavy write operations outside of the VM.

I pass through a dedicated ASIO-compatible soundcard, dedicated GPU and dedicated USB controller which takes care of most of the DPC latency and latencies due to USB host translation.

I lock down my cores in such a way that Windows has access to three physical cores and my host machine has access to only one. They don't share. This heavily reduces CPU cache misses.

I use hugetables to prevent memory-related issues. Though that's more for gaming.

There are a bunch more tiny optimizations I've made that also contribute to its viability.

My latency is just about as good as it's going to get with Windows vs Mac.

Happy to help you achieve a similar setup.
I personally feel 'cord getting caught
is the real motivation behind killing the jack. Every time I've dropped my iPhones since the first one came out, it was because the headphone cable got caught on something and yanked the phone out of my hand or pocket. I am unwilling to use bluetooth as the signal cuts out, batteries are always dead and occasional pairing difficulties. When my iPhone SE dies...(my 9th iPhone) I will likely have to switch to an Android.
Boy am I gonna start versioning real soon.
It is my strong opinion that Apple's "design courage" is business driven than actual innovation. The reason being is that it was released the same day as the Apple AirPods. A similar comment can be said for Google's "design courage" for the Pixel 2, when on the same day they released the Pixel Buds.

If they were concerned about space and waterproofing, could they have just made a magsafe lightning port instead of a hole taking that amount of space at the bottom?

I suppose a campfire implies the person tending it is stationary but metaphorically, I imagined our campfires are all moving not unlike spaceships coming in and out of docking. Travellers come and go but they inhabit the same space rather than them all travelling to and from one person.
Why wonder "do I need to catch an exception here?"? If you're doing it right, most of the time, you want to let exceptions propagate.
A boom for buyers means prices are increasing too, a boom is a boom.
I don’t know much about this, but from a layman’s perspective I completely agree with you. I find it hard to believe that of all the elements making waterproofing harder, the headphone jack was one of the larger concerns.

Of course it's been predicted. Economists have predicted 9 of the last 7 recessions.

But besides that, the Fed doing exactly what is was chartered to do and constantly issues press releases about is not a shocking revelation of hetereodox economics.

Modern crossovers (marketed as SUVs) can pretty much do everything well enough. It can haul people and cargo just as well as a car/wagon or minivan; wagons are generally not offered in the US so that's one less option for a cargo hauler. Poor road quality and consumer preference favors the higher ground clearance than a minivan. AWD is still a rare option on cars, but optionally available on every crossover on the market. Gas is cheap and crossovers are really close to cars in fuel economy. The biggest crossover drawback of increased rollover risk has pretty much been eliminated by modern stability systems.
Any license that does not permit you to make money with the software is not an open source license so that is wrong.

I ran across an interesting proposal that one of the reasons for poor wage growth is health insurance costs -

Health Care and Other Benefit Costs

As nonwage benefits are beefed up by U.S. employers, such as expanded paid leave and performance-based bonuses, fewer dollars in their total rewards budgets may be available for salary increases.

But health care benefit costs are a prime suspect.

"The rise of health-care costs is the most important reason wages have not increased more for U.S. workers," Nobel economics laureate Edward C. Prescott and Lee E. Ohanian of the Center for the Advanced Study in Economic Efficiency at Arizona State University, wrote in the Wall Street Journal in 2018. "The extra compensation is swallowed up by health-insurance premiums."

A new white paper provides evidence that "the rising values of fringe benefits, such as health insurance, may have offset potential wage gains for middle-income workers" despite falling unemployment. The authors, Jeff Larrimore of the Federal Reserve and David Splinter of the congressional Joint Committee on Taxation, contend that when factoring in the cost of health coverage, "total compensation may be higher than previously believed, also implying that employer-sponsored health insurance benefits may represent a larger share of employee compensation."

Economics columnist Robert J. Samuelson wrote in the Washington Post:

The problem is plain: We'd all like both cheaper health insurance and higher wages, but the way the health-care system is operating today, we might get neither. As insurance premiums get more expensive, inflation-adjusted ("real") wages will continue to stagnate or decline.

At over 1.6 tons a RAV4 is still hundreds of kg heavier than a sedan and has significantly more wind resistance and higher fuel consumption. It's not as bad as even bigger SUVs but it's hardly efficient. It's not difficult to find more efficient sedans with more legroom or equivalent trunk size.

The blutooth headphone is a different device than a regular headphone. They have worse sound quality, which might not be so noticable, but they also have to pair and the wireless connection isn't reliable. The headphones are also another device that needs to be charged and has a battery, and in the case of the AirPods, the battery is in bad shape after a year and the device must be replaced.

In the case of the ports you've mentioned, there were other improved connections to move towards. The blutooth headphone is not improved over the 3.5mm cable unless you are so vehemently opposed to the idea of a cable that you would live with its shortcomings. Market leaders like Apple and Samsung have made investments into this market (beats, for example), and to try and dominate market share are extorting their users into buying extraneous, disposable accessories that aren't an objective improvement of existing standards, all while parading the recycled content of their latest 128gb dual core laptops.

This is great. The line between use cases for VM vs container are getting super blurry.
At this point there really isn’t any security difference between zones, jails, and hardened containers. That word “hardened” is the key. Zones are a primitive in Illumos, containers are not a primitive in Linux, they are a collection of security features. If you use them all then you can achieve parity with Zones, but surprisingly few projects make use of all of them by default (Docker certainly doesn’t).

The main difference then is usability, which is almost always the biggest security flaw in any piece of software (that the security isn’t “on” by default or has a prohibitive learning curve for the user).
There's no way to make gas expensive enough that the wealthy are deterred from buying gas guzzlers but the poor are able to drive something (and thus get to work, etc). When you have some groups with far more income and wealth than others, controlling behavior with taxes becomes difficult to impossible.

The only way to achieve fuel economy in American cars is by regulation.
I believe handle blocks is exactly what they were referring to as "basically a reverse try-catch at best and a Visual Basic “on error goto” at worst".

I've toured a couple of houses in Palo Alto in the past month. The agents were practically begging us to make an offer below asking price. I thought it was really weird. Of course, even then the prices would still be about double what I would consider reasonable.
I'm also a newish dad. Our only car is a Honda Fit and we're doing fine, I don't recall ever running out of space. I'm not sure what we'd need a SUV for as long as we don't go off-road.

Of course that'll change if we have a second child, but even then a minivan seems much more practical than a SUV.
Authority and Responsibility go hand-in-hand. If you have authority over something/someone, then you are responsible for it/them. You cannot be responsible for something you have no authority over, and you should not have authority for something you have no responsibility for.

In this case, every developer has authority over their own code base. If I decide to include some random code from the internet in my project then I am responsible for that decision. If whoever has commit privileges on that random code decides to commit malicious code, then they have responsibility for that. However, that doesn't make them responsible for my project, because they have no authority over my project.

Including a dependency in a project is a security vulnerability. It may be worth the risk, it may not, but it is definitely a risk. And responsibility for taking that risk is entirely on the person who took the decision to include that dependency.
It's true. I'm a chuch-goer and have a couple of board gaming groups going from people I met at church. I've met all kinds of people at church that I probably wouldn't have met otherwise. There are computer chip designers, software engineers, accountants, doctors, police officers, a navy seal, a lumber mill operator, professors, scientists, veterans living at the local salvation army center, psychologists, business people, economists, etc.
And the saddest part of your entire comment is that no one will listen when the economic facts are obvious and stop the madness.
> The correct statement is that all respectable theories of physics (to date), including the Standard Model, include an irreducible number of values which must be plugged into them "by hand". In other words, once you've written down your theory, there are some parameter values in it about which the theory itself gives you no guidance; you could give them different values, and the theory would still work. It would just be describing a universe with different properties than ours. In order to make it describe our universe, you need to get those values from experiment.

100% yes.

> It is not that the fine structure constant has some particular status as "more fundamental" than others.

Agreed, as I wrote above "as the fine-structure constant is one of fundamental constants of the universe", it's in a class of fundamental constants (or one of the irreducible values to be plugged in to use your phrasing).

> If constant #1 can be computed given the theory and constant #2, then they are not independent, and the choice between them is arbitrary; a convention.

Sure. You can choose one input over the other once you have made at least one other measurement.

Are you arguing something like, "there are X irreducible inputs to the Standard Model. For any particular input, a, you might be able to swap it out for a different one, g, so that you still have X irreducible inputs, but now they are a different set. Therefore, because we swapped a for g, a is not a fundamental constant"?

Do you take issue with the phrasing of the passages in this wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_physical_constan...)? Specifically:

1) > ...physicists ... reserve the use of the term fundamental physical constant solely for dimensionless physical constants that cannot be derived from any other source.

2) > Fundamental physical constants cannot be derived and have to be measured.

And 3) its classification of the fine-structure constant as a fundamental physical constant?
Can you prove that? Not saying I don't believe you but I've never heard that before.
The post is titled “60-degree angles on a lattice”, and links to “how to draw a good approximation to an equilateral triangle on a piece of graph paper” — that is, the problem being considered is one where all coordinates have to be integers.

If you're willing to use compasses and get arbitrary coordinates, you don't need any of this, not even the first part — it's an entirely different (and much simpler) problem.

How do you find cheap land like this? I would love to own 20 unimproved acres in rural Washington.
> You say you don't see how it follows, yet you yourself say it will cause more wireless headphones to be sold.

no i didn't. i said apple wants to sell more wireless headphones and dongles. removing the audio jack forces users to look at the new shiny airpods, or whatever they're called, and say "i need that". then they need dongles for integration purposes. yet, they didn't need the dongle before and could still buy wireless headphones.

of course it's a cash grab. that is how apple operates. conspiracy theory? the ceo is literally an expert in operations and logistics, probably apple's greatest strength behind their marketing. it can't be any other decision, because like i said, other phone makers are able to integrate it just fine.
I see they're specifically calling out HPC, but I'll only believe they can get real actual HPC performance out of this when I see it. HPC networking (which is 95% Infiniband these days) is just as much about low latency and few hops as it is about high bandwidth. You wire your machines up in exotic topologies and spend more cash on the network than the nodes themselves. You end up with basically the opposite of the elastic philosophy, a behemoth which is bloody fast but inflexible.

If they can show decent scaling to at least 50 nodes (~1000 cores) on a properly constructed benchmark like HPGMG [1], I'll eat my words, but until then I remain skeptical.

There was a previous submission on this recently. Thomas (?) from raptor was hanging out in the comments. I’m wondering about how complete the auditing of the entire thing is/can be. There are a lot of chips on a mobo that handle all kinds of important signals, what reassurance is the user given about all these chips? And if I understand correctly, ibm does not declare anywhere the existence of a me equivalent in these cpus but how can we be reassured that they haven’t placed one without announcing it? Or some other kind of back door? Sorry if this question seems super dumb.

And also, I want to broach the subject of software security. Having perfect hardware is pointless if you install a bug-ridden os and then browse the web with a contemporary web browser. I would really like to see software that lives up to hardware like this, like redox and a new kind of simpler browser.
It is pretty clear they are describing the Holographic Principle there.

Removing the audio jack improved peripheral sales and helped dominate wireless headphone market share. This wasn't an engineering decision.
It's hard getting a minivan with AWD, but every crossover/SUV has it available as an option. Wagons just aren't commonly offered in the US. The higher ground clearance a crossover typically has compared to a minivan is also quite nice for both increased visibility and less scraping against curbs and driveways.

It's not clever marketing, it's just a better product for most people.

Most construction materials are cheap. Especially at contractor rates. Labor is the expensive part. If you're a contractor you've got to have an hourly rate that covers your business expenses and pays you well. If it takes even just 20 hours of work to run all the Ethernet that's probably about $1500 added to the top line. Added a dozen features like that to a home and you're at $15,000-$20,000 higher asking price to make it worth your while.
I live in Chicago. We had a foot of snow land on us this morning. Our 300-foot driveway was not cleared this morning, so my wife took the 2007 Mercury Mariner (Ford Escape). She made it to the road without any issues. It took me two hours in a 1994 BMW 525 to get to the end of the driveway; go two feet, shovel, backup, shovel, then just shovel a path the whole way.

We have three kids in car seats. Getting a baby carrier out from the middle of the BMW is a mess. It's simple in the Mariner.

I frequently need building materials for things around the property. Where do I load a car with shovels, 2x4s, plywood, and hardware cloth?
Cars aren’t the primary green house gas issue. Animal agriculture and energy are. Plus, America only accounts for about 15% of greenhouse gas emissions.

So even if all of us hedonistic Americans drove tiny little cars the current global warming trend would continue.

You make decent arguments but the fact of the matter is it’s a drop in the bucket.
