Once you do some research on KBB and the like about what cars are reliable to buy used at that price point, I like Cargurus.com for actually finding the car.

They have a ton of inventory, can connect you directly with the dealer/seller (some are sold by owner), and they include the important aspects of a vehicle history search. This last part is critical at that price point, because you'll see things like flood-damaged cars, major collisions, etc. You may choose a car that has those things, but its better to be aware of it before you buy vs. finding out later. CarGurus also has a good metric of whether a car is a good deal, based on all similar cars being sold (and they have almost all the used car inventory in the US on their site).
My hunch is that this isn't intended to just let iOS apps run on the desktop, but to allow developers to slap different UIs on their logic.

It likely is more of a win for desktop devs as they'll presumably have an easier way to get their apps to iOS, or perhaps for game devs to have fewer requirements to port games.

I think the increase in the number of pedestrian deaths is also caused by the increase in the number of SUVs/CUVs and an increase in the size of cars generally speaking. Bigger cars -> more pedestrian deaths looks like a decent enough "correlation is causation" for me.
The f*ed up part is the impact on the fetus. The dosage level before harm or death for kids is 10x smaller than for adults. For babies in the womb it is way smaller than that.

These folks may have covered up something that resulted in the miscarriage, or birth defects of the child of any pregnant woman who stood near that closet for just a few minutes.

I think the folks who covered it up for 8 months, or the morons who (threw the rocks in a hole and brought the nuclear-contaminated buckets back) should lose all their power and position. That is an amazingly bad decision.

Lucky thing some kid walked around with a geiger counter. He recorded the levels, so the numbers that officials are hiding, he knows them. His counter can be tested and certified by a decent national lab, and the exact and calibrated level of the radiation determined. And those contaminated buckets tell something about the material that was in them.

Ore shmore. It is a radioactive substance that gives off dangerous levels of alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, as well as nuclear byproducts like radon and other gaseous nuclear isotopes.

You don't do it on each donation, you screen specific people and then disproportionately use them.
If I have this:

<div v-for="item in items">
<span>...</span>
</div>

The refactoring tools must know that the "items" inside the "v-for" refers to a property of the data object. In other words, the content of the data bindings is a totally new language by itself (the content of v-for has its own syntax, with a parser).

Compared to the equivalent in React, which would be:

{this.items.map(i => (
<span>...</span>
)}

Or possibly

let elements = [];
for (item in this.items) {
elements = <span>...</span>
}

It's way easier for a refactoring tool to support JSX since it's just syntactic sugar over JS. If you were the developer of such a tool, you would just need to consider "<>" as values and possibly consider anything inside "{}" as normal Javascript.

And indeed, as pointed by another commenter, React supports classes and integrates very well with Typescript since React 16.

Gold is toxic if consumed regularly. The symptoms of gold poisoning are no different than other forms of metal poisoning. The primary difference between gold and uranium is that gold isn't very reactive and so it has virtually no contact toxicity. Also, some people are allergic to gold, which does manifest contact toxicity.

This is weird. It’s the sort of thing that management dreams of but which companies like Apple should realize is a bad idea. They definitely need to provide tools for making app families work smoothly across each platform, but even more importantly they need to be segmenting their devices more, not less. The latest iPads are a great example of a device that has enormous potential which is being hamstrung by an OS and dev platform that doesn’t really provide a tablet-focused experience.

And then the Mac is losing what should be its primary audience through unwanted innovations and otherwise stagnant hardware, and a failure to recognize the importance of catering to the power users who might want an actual escape key, multiple types of ports, and a keyboard that doesn’t feel like it came off a rejected tablet accessory.

I can see an argument for fragmenting the laptop world into Pro/developer hardware and consumer hardware. But Apple seems to have got the needs of those groups mixed up. Do Apple’s own software engineers love the newest Macs I wonder?
I think it's also a bit (just a bit) due to our need to focus on a single domain. It's rare to have your brain ready to navigate the mathematical realm of all universal abstractions in a single setting (can happen but not common for the mere mortal I suppose).

I skipped undergrad CS and went directly to a masters.

There are ‘working professionals’ masters degrees that are geared towards this type of thing. They don’t have the cachet of Stanford or whatever, but can be interesting and useful if you apply yourself.

If they accept you, they will make you take a prerequisite class to ensure you are at the right level.

I wouldn’t expect a monetary gain from this as college is quite expensive, it isn’t clear a degree noticeably increases your salary. I would recommend doing it primarily out of personal interest.

It does make the ‘foot in the door’ at a bigger company easier, but it’s not clear that it has directly helped me in that way due to the size of companies I normally gravitate towards. The knowledge has been very useful, however.
Of course I did some post-processing, didn't really help - for me - as I wrote.

But just take the category "browser usage" as an example.

Semi-relatedly, one reason I hate web apps for "persistent" things that should be standalone, e.g. stuff like Slack or E-Mail. Not only does it not fit my mental model with alt-tabbing, it also lumps this uselessly together like "GUI usage vs CLI", so broad is "browser".

It certainly could read user keypresses after it typed in malware with a keylogger, and then transmit your keypresses over its wifi (not your network, where it might be detectable) back to the attacker.
Yeah, this is the difference between a collision and a preimage attack. A collision is, given a hash function, come up with two documents with the same hash, but you can control both documents. A preimage attack is, given a hash function and one document (or one hash), find another document with the same hash. That's much harder - you don't have the ability to force the algorithm's internal state into something convenient.

A preimage attack is what you worry about if you think the person giving you the signature might be untrustworthy, e.g., they're currently promising one thing but they might swap it out with something else later. A collision attack is what you worry about even if you don't think the person giving you the signature is untrustworthy and you're expecting someone else to swap out the document before it gets to you. So there are a good handful of scenarios where you don't care about preimage attacks but you do care about collisions - e.g., if Microsoft is signing Windows Update files, presumably they don't need to conduct a preimage attack to send you a malicious update, they can just directly sign a malicious update. But you don't want other people sending you malicious updates that appear to be signed by Microsoft.

Desktop is driven by a pointer (mouse/trackpad) and keyboard, both with high degrees of fidelity. iPad and iPhone only have touch. (iPad has a keyboard as an afterthought, and the support for it is inconsistent even within the OS itself).
You've upset people because what you seem to be talking about is either highly specific prohibitions, or a general prohibition on unlicensed tinkering and innovation. The latter will go down like a ton of bricks here and would have prevented most of the computer technological developments of our lifetimes.

But the way out of this is actually to make the constraint more orientated on the harm. Several jurisdictions already ban the sale of spy devices. Many have rules about non-consensual recording. Or general privacy rules.

Don't try to ban buidling things unless the other approaches have been tried and failed. The solution to "upskirting" and other non-consensual intrusive photography has been bans on doing that, not a ban on smartphones. There are all sorts of things that you can legally build and tinker with but not market to the public.

(Security researchers are particularly salty about this because you can't get people to take a threat seriously without building a proof-of-concept, but that is in itself a weapon. Often you can't prove a system is insecure without breaking it.)
Thank you for the insight, but I think you may be intending to reply to someone else :) My experience has fit none of the things you describe (in fact most of the factors you list are quite far off of my own experience in terms of debt, apartment location, and salary), but that's not to say that they're not true for someone else.

I completely agree in principle (some applications are good fit for traditional long vector processing, but it's a terrible fit for others).

However the RISC-V Vector Extensions basically let you use the processor in "SIMD mode" by setting the vector length to a small value. It will depend on the processor architecture whether a vector length of e.g. 4 is efficient or not, but I expect for many implementations it will be relatively efficient (and you can definitely just use it as a "wider GPR" if you want to).

The only catch at the ISA level is it costs an instruction to change the vector size. So if you keep swiching between e.g. 128-bit and 512-bit instructions at a very fine granularity, that might add overhead... I'm not sure that's a very common case though?
Erm, Unfortunately, I suspect it will be that the professional apps will be (and are being) dumbed down.
Nope, as it says right at the top, that's just a Collision.

In metaphor terms, that CWI Amsterdam + Google announcement is about them making two documents that are different but which you can't tell apart (using SHA1). They could fool you into thinking you had one when it was really the other. But, for a Bad Guy this is only useful under very specific circumstances.

If a shady guy offers you what seems to be... his own self-published novel "Interdimensional Hat Monkeys 4" you don't care whether it's the real thing or a "fake", who cares?

Whereas Second Pre-Image lets you find a convincing forgery for any document at all.

Now the shady guy offers you a suitcase full of what appear to be genuine $20 bills. It really matters if those are fake! A suitcase full of real ones are worth a lot of money, whereas a suitcase of fakes is a recipe for jail time.

Online, the main application of Collision is obtain bogus certificates. You make two documents A and B, A is an ordinary seeming true statement which you can get certified, while B is something outrageous nobody would certify, but you have chosen them to have the same SHA1. If the Certificate signatures use SHA1, you can get a CA to sign document A, then just attach that signature to document B.

So that's why SHA1 was not allowed for new certificates since 2016. Old ones don't matter because bad guys can't travel back in time and make old documents to try this trick on them.

We did have some other counter-measures, to make this trick impractical for real bad guys in the Web PKI. Most important was, we required the CA to choose random serial numbers (that's why the "serial number" on your certificate is just random and doesn't gradually increase in newer certificates) and this means a bad guy applying for a certificate can't guess what the serial number will be in advance, which makes it harder to come up with the pair of documents.

Pure static sites are extremely rare.

Yes, and we are already seeing it. The "Home" app on macOS right now is clearly reusing a lot of iOS UI elements. It works, although it's tough to imagine a more native Mac app wouldn't be a better UX.

I think there's probably a case to be made when the app you're building is "mobile first," so you (as the developer) inherently do not want a richer, more feature-filled UI on the desktop. In that case, there's value in having a single UI to maintain and for that UI to be familiar to the user in both places.

This sounds like an exact cover problem.

Optimimum solutions to exact cover problems are non-polynomial (NP). There's also a human problem. No on-call schedule will make people happy because on-call is unpleasant. The best on-call schedule for you is for me to do all the on-call. Or two human problems: the manager's job prioritizes covering on-call over happiness...and uses on-call instead of hiring night/weekend staff so nobody does on-call.
Roughly speaking, one person on call for nights, weekends, and holidays can be replaced by three FTE's. That's only a 15% staff increase in a twenty person organization.
But you are the owner of the vehicle, right?

This is great. For those here commenting "why? My iPhone is very different from my iMac", an example: I am writing an iPad app for a client that has a lot of custom Metal compute code. It is great that I can basically run that code on my iMac Pro as well, for rapid prototyping, and because having a desktop companion app makes a lot of sense. Right now though I have to be very careful how to share code between the two apps, mainly because UIKit is not available on the Mac. Unification would solve that headache for me.
