My only worry is if they will lock down the Macintosh to only allow signed or, worse, apps from the App Store. If its just a move to ARM then cool, but I still want to have 32GB of memory and some decent storage. That ship has sailed, I guess, but I really want a Mac Pro worthy of the name. I miss the G4 case.

Swift Playgrounds gives you full access to frameworks.
1) I don't think so.

2) They're different because they usually store and distribute her data somewhere other than twitter. If she deletes a thread, that copy persists. If people interact with that copy, she doesn't get to see or manage that. If it's through twitter's API, she can see interaction with her content and block people if they interact abusively. And third party clients generally don't profit off of individual threads.

https://bobbin.herokuapp.com/ is a compiler that is much more like a third party client; it all goes through twitter's API, and in follow ups she said it sounds fine.

Don't they have special chips just for decompressing specific video formats? Ie. Why I noticed some time ago that suddenly phones stopped chugging power just to watch YouTube.
> In addition, x86 has relatively strong memory ordering compared to ARM. There may be code that get away with stuff on x86, that will cause subtle bugs on ARM. Again, it is likely professional programs that do this.

I asked on HN in the past how Microsoft intends to solve the problem for x86-32 emulation on ARM that x86 has a stronger memory model than ARM:

and got an interesting answer:

> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14320799

To put it shortly: the Qualcomm ARM processors (Snapdragon) seem to be able to also to support a strong memory model which makes this emulation possible.

I guess that Apple should also be capable to build such a feature into their ARM chips.
Here's a thought; do you want to rely on the goodwill of people you don't know, that live hundreds or thousands of miles away, to get up at 4am to farm and create food (a basic human need) for you?

Or do you want to rely on the profit motive? If not, why?
> I understand where the author is coming from; people absolutely should be paid for their labors and if other people are making money off of that, the first person should share in that. Plus, there's definitely a desire for a creator--of any stripe--to want to have their creation viewed in the way that they originally created it.

Does Twitter's terms-of-service mean that you've given away those rights to control how they're viewed or whether you're paid, though? (Not a rhetorical question.)
> But imagine what she’d have if her name was attached to every instance of the image, doctored or not?

Of course that's one of the first edits that will be made: removing the credits. Especially when they're placed unobtrusively like in the example.

I do want to note something, though: the author uses some loose wording when mentioning the change to "copyright" the example image, but that's a little misleading: it was copyrighted the moment it was made, even without having the notice. A notice can still be a good idea for various reasons but I wouldn't be too worried about it, honestly.

Actually exercising your rights could be a fraught process for all sorts of reasons but you do have the option.
The best way I found to acquire information is to see what passed the test of time. For example, if humans have been eating red meat for 200,000 years, it's very unlikely it is net harmful. It's still possible, but the burden of proof is on who thinks it's harmful. (And it better be very strong evidence.) Mother nature has a very good filter for harmful things.
> American Airlines spokesperson Ross Feinstein confirmed to BuzzFeed News that cameras are present on some of the airlines’ in-flight entertainment systems, but said “they have never been activated, and American is not considering using them.” Feinstein added, “Cameras are a standard feature on many in-flight entertainment systems used by multiple airlines. Manufacturers of those systems have included cameras for possible future uses, such as hand gestures to control in-flight entertainment.”

And what does 'never been activated' mean? Does it mean they are default off, but a flight attendant (or anyone who accesses the control panel while the flight attendant is otherwise occupied) can turn on a camera to see what someone sitting at a specific seat is doing?

This is a super link bait title for a very short, speculative article.

Who knows if Apple will switch to ARM for their laptops. Even Apple may not know yet. We can be sure they are making some, just as they had various x86 efforts under way for many years during the PPC era.

This article only cites Intel sources, Of course this is something Intel should be concerned about, and causing some uproar in the press is a good way to lobby a large customer.
> If you double the number of ocean fishermen working out of Galveston, the supply of fish near Galveston will suffer.

That greatly depends on the type of fish and is not generally true. Many species of fish spend different parts of their lives at different locations. Tuna, salmon and many other pelagic fish travel pretty big distances.
> Particularly because when you look at the spike in hate crimes, violence, antisemitism etc, you primarily see members of the alt-right fall within that group.

Let's just go from the last week. Here is some left-wing violence:

Here is a weekly roundup of anti-semitism, and much of it is from the left (associated with Britain's Labour party):

And for hate crimes, the news is that Jussie Smolett has been arrested for staging the "modern-day lynching" against him that has captured national attention for the last few weeks:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jussie-smollet-chicago-attack-h...

I'm not saying the alt-right is nothing to worry about. I'm saying the left is capable of real harm too.
This is certainly a bad idea.

But there are people out here who think they're so smart: to hell with the big picture, to hell with ecology, to hell even with consensus and consent. They are certain that they know what's best for the planet, for sexually reproducing life forms in general, and for humans. So they are forging ahead whether you or I like it or not.

I feel hopeless about it.
> - Lack of support for OOP. And no, purely functional programming is not the best way to code all projects.

...and neither is OOP? For doing data things I greatly prefer functional programming for ease of understanding how the data flows and gets changed.

Neither does Python, neither does R. AOT compilation is being worked on, I expect it to get pretty great. C and FORTRAN do, sure, but most people are not writing C and FORTRAN in production.

> - Module system doesn't seem to be design well.

It’s maybe not perfect, but it’s honestly miles better than Python.

> - You can't use a function before it's defined.

This feels like an incredibly unfair and unreasonable complaint given not many languages that aren’t AOT compiled actually support this and Python and R certainly do not.
Ask HN: Pros and cons of working at a startup in 2019?
Inspired by the 2018 version here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17286939

I'm curious if there have been any new developments or changes in thinking since the sentiments expressed in that thread about a year ago.

Have the Pros and Cons changed much? Any new considerations? (e.g. Softbank, M&A patterns, potentially looming economic slowdown)

You’re right, but there is a very healthy ecosystem of Arm-compatible Docker images and tools already. That definitely gives developers a head start in adding Arm support. Depending on their dependencies, they might not need to do anything more than change labels in their Dockerfile and rebuild.
> perhaps if I can't follow or respect the creator's wishes in how to consume the content that he or she created in the manner it was created, maybe I shouldn't consume it at all?

I strongly disagree. While I also think that creators should be compensated for their works (for a limited time), after they get said compensation, they should get no say in how you consume the content, or what you do with it (with the obvious exception of making it available to others).
Application developers and users?
The safe withdrawal rate is a statistically likely (inflation adjusted) percent of your at-retirement savings that you can withdraw every year and be at >= 0 when you die. It's a very convenient heuristic for thinking about the effect for the large chunk of money has upon your life -- it has effectively the same behavior as the annuity you describe.

It definitely has an impact, but if you use it to retire earlier, it would shave about 10 years off of your projected retirement time. so the impact it has will be some years down the road.

In my case, I had a fairly similar thing happen---about ten years of income earned over two years---because my non-day-job income is highly variable. I was able to endow the next 20 years of my charitable giving, support several elections that I wanted to contribute to, and plan to retire about 10 years earlier. Lovely impact, but it didn't substantially change my day-to-day life. The only thing I did that I probably would not have otherwise done was to buy a new car instead of trying to have my old one repaired one more time.)
Not meant as a critique to this book, but the fact that RL-based approaches rarely work for optimal control problems (in, for example, robotics) came as a surprise to me, given the hype and focus on RL [1]. It turns out that model-based methods for optimal control (e.g. linear quadratic control) invented quite a long time ago dramatically outperform RL-based approaches in most tasks and require multiple orders of magnitude less computational resources. Maybe there's some hope for RL method if they "course correct" for simpler control methods. At the moment, it seems like RL for robotics and control lies to the side of "research" and not "engineering."

I'm trying to imagine how one could prove to the compiler that an event in the far distant future is valid (without the obvious solution of throwing an exception in the constructor but that is at runtime so...)
When reading/reviewing someone else's code you have to know the entire set of problems and constraints that may arise from their code, including syntax traps, semantic esoterica, and effects. You can't simply decide on a subset of the language that you like and declare than none of the rest of it affects the code unless you want to trust that none of the excluded set has any impact.

Interfaces, access modifiers, calling methods via object.method() instead of method(object), you can't define methods inside classes (structs) with an implicit "this" parameter.

> Module system doesn't seem to be design well.

Working with a multiple file project feels weird... I have to first "include()" the source code and then use "import" or "using". The module system in Java, Javascript or Swift seem to be more straightforward and sensible.
Oh sure, but you are talking about a specific scenario.

We're also consuming FAR more available simple carbohydrates in general from strains selected for flavor preferences that coincide to higher absorption as well, and more significantly higher yields. We couldn't feed the world without GMO corn, soy and wheat. That doesn't mean they should be preferred when you can make better choices and have a more rounded diet.
"Coroutines (Gor Nishanov) was adopted for C++20. A number of other authors that have their own coroutine proposals have also done great work to give feedback to this design and inform the committee in the process of showing their own designs, and the adopted coroutines design is expected to adopt some of their additional programming capabilities in the future as well as we continue to build on it after C++20. At this meeting, we had many detailed design discussions, including notably these papers that will be available in a few weeks when the post-meeting mailing is posted: a unified consensus report from all coroutines proposers describing the strengths and weaknesses of all their proposals, and a consensus report from implementers from all major C++ compilers about the tradeoffs and feasibility of the basic facilities required by the various coroutines proposals. Both of these papers are very educational and highly recommended."

Considering how you seem to be sympathetic for the alt-right in the past times I've had to argue with you, I'm not surprised that you would be massively disingenuous with your arguments.

Your second link does not indicate how 'much of the anti-semitism is from the left', and you're deliberately burying the lede. In your first, I'm not going to deny that violence against certain conservative activists exists. But my entire point is that there is no 'Unite the Right' rally or far-left groups murdering people like with the alt-right [1]. And for your third link, a single person being an idiot does not a movement make.

You're grasping at straws and trying to claim a group exists where it doesn't. You're trying to justify a term made up by a president who in the same speech defended and attempted to justify the murder of a woman by the alt-right.

Phone numbers are something you dial into a phone. They are not a alphabetic ISO code and then some numbers. Country codes and international dialing codes are NOT 1:1. North Korea for example has two dialing codes but is one county. Many island nations share the US's +1. Staphones have their own dialing prefixes that don't correspond to an ISO country code. With all due respect, this code is a disaster and it is guaranteed to lead to problems when one of these many edge cases is hit.

Yes, I agree with you personally that refined foods are terrible for you long term, but is there an expert consensus on the issue? And I do not think there is a consensus on sugars in particular.
