I write/maintain BSPs and RTOSes for a myriad of embedded systems, every day, for the last 15 years. I can't remember the last time I had a bug like the ones mentioned in the article...

I look at Rust with enthusiasm, but... if they are targeting "system" developers, the ones already doing that job, the last think they (we) worry about is on doing memory management errors. At some point, memory management becomes an automatic process, you just don't think too much about it.

But on the other side, perhaps the scope of a language like Rust is to bring more people from higher layers into developing engines that require performance. The Rust sales-pitch may work on people like a JS programmer but won't click yet on people like me: I just don't want to be baby-sited by a compiler.

I also noticed during my entire life that (reasonable) "fear" that C/C++ produces on developers, and the many recipes for the cure. "Script kiddies" as you call them will never target the C/C++ state-of-the-mind, let alone write system-related software: it just too difficult, and boring, and don't want to deal with truly complicated problems.

You can't solve a "lazy programmer" problem with a "language" solution. I think they're targeting the wrong audience.
Heh, similarly named companies. You get my point though ;-)
Good support for multi-core programming comparable to what java.lang.concurrent, language thread and network async IO offer.

C++11 introduced std::thread, with a couple of issues retified in later revisions, and apparently executors just failed C++20, delaying the introduction of a major part of async networking.

Language safety as well.

For me, in spite of the safety improvements in C++, I see the language being tailored for specific niches and no longer a full stack language, similar to how it is handled on modern desktop and mobile OSes.

And C will never catch up in security.
> If you're accepting things that aren't JWTs then you're not doing oauth.

As a resource server: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749#page-10

Access tokens don't have to be JWT. And some OpenID authentication server give opaque tokens: your resource server has to know how to call it to check the token and get some user infos if available.
Keyboards, laptop CPU's and memory, macOS development. It's a desaster area every developer working with their products wants to leave as soon as possible.

Jesus, calm the hell down.

It’s okay to have complaints about aspects of Apple’s products, but this wild exaggeration isn’t doing anybody any favours.
>without rolling back women's right

May I rephrase this: "without strengthening parental and co-parental rights" (this includes grandparents and the extended family).
Meta-guess: SAHM means "stay at home mom".
Are they just angling for everyone with a British postal addrrss to Pay a transfer fee?
Thank you for this comment, long term is rarely even considered in consumer technology related to smartphones or "devices".
It seems like traditional craftspeople (e.g. woodworking) worked directly with the medium they designed for. AFAIK industrial designers are heavily involved in creating/production their products.

As a developer turned designer I can’t understand how anyone can design for the web and not know how to write HTML and CSS.

There’s always going to be grey area but I don’t think you should need an CS/engineering degree to build a UI.
Apple is far behind its competitors in pretty much every area except hardware. They are still terrible at running stable web services. There is a new critical bug or security hole in their OS every month. And all of their non-hardware offerings - Apple Maps, Apple Music, iCloud, iTunes, Siri etc. - range from very bad to average.

IMO they need to be investing a LOT more on the software side of things if they intend to stay competitive, especially since iPhone sales are already drying up.
That's because costs have gone up while wages have stayed the same; people need a double income now, while 30-40 years ago my parents could afford to own a house on a single income. Me, I was only able to buy one on a single income a year and a half or so ago, at an age where my dad had two kids with the third on its way with seven years less education and no degree. Mind you, different / cheaper area of the country, too.
For the record, it's the only TJ's in SF that does this. And I agree, it works well given how much traffic it gets.
You could be right!

Of course, it might also just lead to ICE having an easier time getting a bigger budget next year so that they don't have to let any services slip. Or maybe they just cut back on cultural sensitivity training. Perhaps something else entirely! There's really no way for us to meaningfully predict outcomes from where we are. We may as well be generating random numbers.

Your hypothesis is intriguing. I would love to see data.
My first owned PC, a 386SX at 20 MHz, quite a departure from the PCW 1512 at school computer club or the Timex 2068 at home.

However I still kept a bit of envy from my friends having fun with their Amiga 500s.
Are you suggesting Apple plans to do AI without harvesting data, or with transparent privacy controls on data? There's literally nothing for machine learning to learn besides harvested data. It's like suggesting that a power company is trying the strategy of using no wires for delivering electricity to houses..

I'd be excited if Apple found a way to trustlessly aggregate data and perform homomorphic training of their ML models, but they seem to be laying off that flavor of talent..
There's no bait and switch anywhere. Employment is primarily at-will, and anyone can walk out anytime.

Also, companies have certain identities in certain time-windows. Apple was a computer company in the late 90s, by late 2000s it had already gone through 2 identities: a music player company, to primarily a phone company.

Employers cannot guarantee what work and markets they will and won't chase. Being a cloud infrastructure and AI company, it's predictable for Google to decide to go after one of the largest spenders in the space, defense.
When I went back to my parents' home around new years, you could definitely tell the demographics have changed. 35ish years ago it was a newly built neighbourhood; now, the kids (like me) have moved out and while new families have moved in, it was still a lot quieter around new year's.
May I ask - where are you now? i.e. what do you do as a dev - did you switch to webdev/js?
At my company, we are pretty happy with Boards, Repos and Pipelines.

One thing that needs to be improved so badly is their Test Plans section, not so fan for their way to setup agents for Load Testing.
Communities are like ecosystems; they evolve. They are dead when they stop evolving. It might be dead for you if you dislike the way a community is evolving but that is your subjective perception which is _objectively_ inaccurate.

There's an ample amount of hacking (orig. meaning) related content out there, right now. For example, 35c3 was a little less than a month ago and I still watch a talk roughly daily. Centralized way points which attract the normal, average people will evolve eventually in the wrong way and it is RIP TAZ.

And all those who always claim X gets too political: it always was political, everything is. The word you perhaps sought is political polarized (ie. help! my important political view is or has become a minority in this subculture). Looking back at the phreaking culture and telephone history (to give an older example) , politics were involved with Ma Bell right from the get go. After all, they were installed as a monopoly and kept that way _by_ the government.
I would offer another anecdote because I really believe this to be a very high quality laptop. I have bought my Dell XPS13 9360 around the same time and have never been happier with a laptop (running Fedora flawlessly, 10 hours of battery). And it cost me around 1250€ (~1420 USD).
This is true, but a lot of those latency sensitive applications are hard latency requirements, where you have to do something in X time, but doing it faster than X isn't actually useful.

There are realtime GCs that can meet these hard requirements.
Honestly my bigger concern is what AWS is going to call eu-west-2 now…

It should generally have been expected that this would happen in line with the rules. Bit silly, but there we go. Proxy registrants are available.
I suppose it kind of does for your own code, but you have to explicitly 'cast' all your arrays to 0-index arrays and it might break anything that assumes it's dealing with a normal 1-index array.
In spite of all those quality gates before a C patch lands in the Linux kernel, the CVE reports just keep increasing.

It might be an Italian/French company but that doesn’t mean they apply the same business tactics everywhere.

In the Netherlands, an eye measurement, a decent pair of glasses and a pair of sunglasses (both non reflective) will cost you ~ €250,- and that seems reasonable to me.
Dems just flipped 40 seats in the House and 300 in the state legislatures. So there is a strong possibility that Trump will lose. That said, Trump is just a vocal symptom of larger trends in the society. They may be subdued momentarily once Trump is defeated, but they are not going away. He has shown a path forward, and there are others willing to go further. This will be a long fight.
Weird considering domains in .su (soviet union) are still around.

Quite true, they just contribute to new entries on the CVE database.
But it is the problem of Oauth 2.0. Every implementer has a choice for lot of things.

When you get a token you are not sure to get it as a JWT. If it is a JWT, the issuer is not enough to know what endpoints it provides.

You still have to care about your clients authorization provider so you can check their access tokens. But you're building a resource server: you should not have to care about all this. Creating a resource with this identity from this issuer? Go ahead. Want to access it again? Let me check your token using this standardized token: I don't have to know if is issued by Google, the Canadian Government or your own personal server.
For those in the area, SLAC also offers public tours:

All your examples involve situations where there are many kids around. Parent talked about situation where area simply does not have that many kids . They were not born and thus are not available to play. You can't meet a kid that does not exist.

Even without electronics, beyond age of 6, nearby areas are explores quick and indoor activities are more fun then biking alone again through area you know pretty well. I knew few kids who liked that, but they were very much minority - and they were the kind of kids that don't seek novelty and aresponsibility fine with doing the same thing same way every day. Even without electronics, over age of 6-7, indoor has more options, more interesting options and is more fun unless there is company outside. Hence kids not rushing outside if a chance of meeting someone is low.

Not a good friend is a kid you don't like to play with. It is simply not true that all kids like to play with all kids nor that all they do is games and games are the same. It does not have to be something bad like bullying or being little assholes - through it can be. It can be something as simple as one kid doing mostly focused plays and the other widely running around. With many kids they will sort themselves to groups, with few they just end up doing own thing and not having interest in each other.

There are too many cars already.
Haha, yes, sorry for making it sound bigger than it is. If you just want to do some build & test validation, it should just be a single yaml file. Not identical to Travis but close. We even added some getting started documentation if you’re familiar with Travis. https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/devops/pipelines/migrate/fr...
cool. seems the HN top page doesn't sort by votes but yours seems to.

Are you going to make a click-able button for 4hrs and 12 hrs etc? or maybe banned/flagged posts?
By this logic we should just triple the cancer researchers and then it doesn't happen
autonomous cars are so obvious and will eventually be so commodity

Apple's core business (smart phones) will be commoditized way before autonomous cars - we're already seeing smart phone improvements becoming more and more incremental, longer device lifetimes, people less willing to spend for the latest and greatest
Avoid oils in general. They're mostly devoid of nutrition (i.e. no fiber, lacking vitamins and minerals compared to the food source) and only contain fat https://youtu.be/LbtwwZP4Yfs
If so, then the irony is everyone complaining of Innovation is dead at Apple. Lot of OS improvements, especially for the older model devices. But does Apple get appreciation for that or for Airbuds?

And with multiple product lines, company can have multiple focus.
Does it really matter at this point?
Been using InfluxDB for a rather long time now and while I've had my share of the problems (including https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17768860) generally I do like the ecosystem a lot. When it works it just works and it's awesome.

That said while TickScripts are not exactly a pleasure write, I wouldn't say a new language is pretty high on my wantlist. For example, as the blog post states:

> We also need to add features for backup & restore, bulk data import and export, and data deletes.

I'd take any of those over a new query language any day now. Especially the restore part is at the moment nearly completely non-existing after backup format change in InfluxDB, so good luck if you happen to run into data loss or just want to move around data in general. Same goes for data deletion outside of whole measurements.

I am hopeful that those features arrive before a 2.0 launch and hopefully in some sort of backwards compatible way (or at least ported to Influx 1.x).
I don't think half the country is racist in the traditional sense. But if a supporter tolerates this behavior because they like something else (e.g., tax cut), doesn't that make him or her a willing participant ?
I know about Ace And Tate (NL), GlassesDirect (UK), and Quattrocento (IT) .
Thanks for that answer.

I myself don't like to use Telegram like that, I prefer to separate my IM from my blogs. But your answer caused me to rethink Telegram, because now that I think about it I do know people who participate in that part of Telegram.
This is totally unfounded. Their market-leading bokeh camera effect is powered by a “state of the art image recognition system” including custom silicon (the “neural engine”).

Siri has gotten a lot better especially at natural language recognition.[1] The HomePod for example is exceptionally good at detecting Hey Siri commands while loud music is playing. That’s all local machine learning processing coupled with a great mic array. It’s more the breadth of services that are the issue, but that’s not machine learning.

The music recs.. well you don’t cite anything. I can say the weekly For You new music mix works good for me.

Another compelling argument is that {} , while very easy to type on an English keyboard, is highly awkward on keyboards of almost any other language in the world. E.g. I'm Danish and on my Mac { involves flexing the right thumb down to hit right-alt while typing 7 with my middle finger and holding down shift with my left pinky. `end`, though, being actual letters, is completely easy and fast to type (on languages that uses the latin alphabet).
> Yes it is, but you aren't going to solve it without rolling back women's rights.

You know you can also have men keeping an eye on children while their spouse (of any gender) work.
Happens quite often with large c++ projects and some quirky includes. Change 1 header, recompile whole thing.

For comparison, rebuilding linux kernel with make defconfig takes about 3-4 minutes tops on my laptop, rebuilding one of the work projects - at least 15.
The fiddle was first recorded around the 9th century, by then Nero had been dead for a very long time.
Nope. The project can still have crazy dependencies that need compiled (thrift etc).

Every morning every Dev in our shop no matter the project is going to run "mvn clean compile -U"

Sure you can split the large projects up. Just get some time from your PM.. next quarter.... :)
It is too buggy and has too many false hits to be used in large projects.
In Germany, where Thermomix comes from, it's definitely a cultish thing.

Pretty petty if you ask me. ICANN generally lets things be grandfathered in. However, it is a country code domain so they can administer it how they want.
Super PACs are unlimited.
Solution I have seen around me is more semi-structured groups. I.e. I am kinda sad we missed-out on sunday-school, but I will be trying to get my girl at least to some scouting org :)

The important thing seems to be a balance between the structured activity in the group (I have seen peers that had so many activities, but little connection with the kids they were around, because there is little time to interact in i.e. gymnastic class) and just messing around :)
But are there any other muti disciplinary repos apart from arXiv anyway?
The local shopkeepers in many places are getting pushed out by corporations, especially in less-populated areas. Walmart is your one-stop mini-city for groceries, all household goods, prepared foods—and they are not going to take on the liability of allowing employees to watch over children playing.
I don't think it's uncommon for people to learn from the top down and after some time and a bit if passion find themselves digging into the roots of it.

It came across as a tad condescending although I can easily believe it wasn't meant that way and you are just open mindedly sharing perspective as is the point of all this.

I reply not to just make that comment but actually to recommend a book (that many may have possibly already read) which gives a rich history well worth it.

https://www.amazon.com/Hackers-Computer-Revolution-Steven-Le...

They dive into East and West coast history as well as the influences of gaming which I think ties to this threads closest.

Its long, engaging, and the audiobook is just a kick.

If you are on that cusp of wanting to learn a bit more of where we come from with an Americana feel, they have done a fantastic job here.
It's actually not that Apple isn't collecting data sets, but they're doing so at a more measured pace by thoroughly anonymising it using differential privacy. If the AI needs to use raw personal data in it's calculations, that is done on the user's device to keep that information private.

This appears to be slowing them down compared to their competitors, but it's not clear how much as against them being a bit behind for other reasons.
The major differentiator of Apple hardware is the software that runs on it. iOS and MacOS are basically unmatched by other offerings.

>If apple offered a matte MBP then you would have numbers that could mean something.

They did offer a matte and glossy option and some point, and moved on to glossy only. Safe to assume the buyers have spoken?
Well, you can't blame these companies for cutting ties with their employees to make a profit. This is bound to happen in the era of technology. That's why we should encourage the younger generation to get lucrative degrees in fields that won't replace them.
I'd've also liked "No work", can't be productive if there's nothing to do.
Programming: Mostly a hate story
Which is actually pretty good. Had one in a rental a month or so back and I was, wow, a vehicle entertainment system that actually works rather than being primarily occupied with sucking the contacts off my phone.
Please note that I'm priorly assuming in this thought experiment that the space in the universe is infinite:

( no matter the time being limited to only 1.0 second in the experiment, or time being infinite , for this point below , doesn't matter, even 1 infinitesimal of a fraction of a millisecond would be enough, of course we need at least a little bit of time, because with No time at all there is no space to speak of, much less infinite space )

All the infinite universes that exist and we are inside all of them right now( it is only 1 universe, but all "universes" exist in this infinite universe, side by side, They don't need to be "parallel", they can be side-by-side, it means, they don't occupy the same space, but we don't need it, because we have Infinite space(more then enough)

So we have a lot of space, and in a given second, in all this space, every possible thing is happening right now, but very far from us, light-years is too small to measure the distances we are talking about ,

actually is impossible to measure how big even with units bigger then Light-Years...

...(1 Light-Year is the distance you go in 1 year at light speed, of course this is redundant info, but some readers may not know it)....
And is impossible to measure because with any unit of distance because the distance here is Infinite,...

So everything that you can and Can Not...

(infinite times more things then you can ever imagine if you had a infinite life)...

...Is happening at this very millisecond...

...Or a in fraction of a millisecond...

A infinisecond would be enough to all infinite possible things to exist, distributed by our infinite space...

Of course this only, and Solely only If the Space of the Universe is really infinite....

I think it is, but even Einstein was not so sure, so...

But I am sure Time is infinite, so 1 square meter of space is enough for every possible imaginable and unimaginable thing to exist ( well all every possible things smaller then 1 square meter) If the time is infinite, It means "for Eternity" or On Eternity, everything will happen)

you only need a square nanomilimeter for that (but all infinite things inside the given space of the nanomilimeter)...

Please Remember that you can shove/fit/stuff or insert more then 10 infinite universes inside 1 single infinite universe, because infinite is infinite.

Now replace the number 10 above by infinite.

you can fit an infinite number of Infinite universes inside a single 1 infinite universe, as the simple Math proves.

So okonimiaki3000 is right when he says what he says.

And your comment was Snarky and Clue-less, sorry to say that.

If you don't have arguments to support your claims, better avoiding doing exactly the Opposite ( here is Exactly the Inverse) The Opposite of what you were trying to do with your pointless comment, trying to sound Smart and sounding exactly the opposite...

Sorry. But you deserve it for your Snark.

All of this is because when you Multiply anything, even very small, by infinite, the result equals infinite.
I thought it was about portable cement mixers. Which we call "mixers" and obviously.. rotate.
The only problem with save/load in faders is haptics. Touch screens can show dynamic content and work like a fader just fine.

(As opposed to a knob, which does not work right without the physical form.)

San Francisco Uber drivers are deathly afraid of cameras mounted on buses that issue tickets for being in bus exclusive zones. That works quite well.
Unfortunately, you'd have to prohibit downloads as well, as the request sent to the server could contain information.
1. I don't use Google products if there is any other choice.

2. I think Azure is better overall than AWS. It's way easier to grasp the different features, while I haven't used Azure Devops, I've had little issues with the rest.
