Using iPhone 8 Plus 256GB so I can't agree with other commenters this behaviour is due to low storage. I have about 180GB free.

It seems Safari / iOS memory management isn't very clever. Sometimes Safari reloads pages I just left. Super annoying if you started filling out something there.

I don't understand why they don't just unload apps / pages on an LRU principle: whatever you do, do NOT unload an app / page the user was just in.

I like a lot of things about the iPhone and iOS but this peculiarity ain't one of them. It feels very backwards.

---

EDIT: I also heard the storage is almost at the laptop SSD class (if not better). So I am not sure swapping memory to it here and there would amortise it that badly. But I don't know for sure so not claiming anything.
Anecdotal.. But when I first got into the tech industry I went to job interviews (In SF) in a full suit. I was alway told that you want to go to interview "dressed for success".

It wasn't until I dressed down to jeans and a long sleeve button up that I actually got an offer. Honestly, I think no matter what environment you're in you have a better chance of success if you play to your audience a bit.

Doesn't have to be counting up. Counting down would be much easier.
The issue is that the community 5-10 years ago heavily favored "pure" approaches like Array#concat rather than mutations like Array#push. So a whole new generation of developers were taught to avoid the functions at all costs. "never use push" is a common mantra in JS circles, and developers favored making a copy of an array even if that array was used nowhere else (where push would've been the appropriate choice) Maybe we're seeing a push back towards performance over purity?
That doesn't sound normal. Those lists are pretty much tiny compared to a lot of other data stored in postgres. So there must have been something else going on.

Show HN: BWD, an API for Simple 2D UIs, in Java
Hi.

BWD is a simple 2D UI API to abstract away UI libraries, by defining types and interfaces corresponding to related basic concepts and use cases (UI thread scheduling, windowing and related events, graphics (drawing primitives, text, images, rectangular clipping, translations and 90 degrees rotations), fonts, cursors, and devices (mouse, wheel and keyboard) events).

BWD is meant to serve as a basis for creating either simple 2D UIs directly, or toolkits on top of which UIs can be built.

It's part of Jolikit (https://github.com/jeffhain/jolikit), which also contains lower level APIs BWD makes use of (mainly to abstract away time/scheduling).

Jolikit also contains implementations of BWD on top of various UI libraries (AWT, Swing, JavaFX, SWT, LWJGL3, JOGL/NEWT, QtJambi4.8, Allegro5, SDL2).

To ease installation, I uploaded a zip containing dependencies binaries:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/jolikit/files/release_0.1/jolikit_0_1_deps.zip

I plan to take feedback on BWD for up to one year, before moving to 1.0.
The ISP probably received an abuse complaint by an MPAA enforcement agency for some IP, and basically transferred it to their customer.

Some big ISPs probably get enough of these to have automated the process, hence the difference of minutes.
That all good and well for you. However, if you extend that attitude to say "and I'm not going to allow congress to properly fund social security as a result", then you are the problem.
They probably have a bunch of sites they do this to. Each time someone discovers a new one they probably create another config for that site and then whenever a link is posted the bot spams the channel with "hey, $author's article about $title" is being discussed on $site at $link2comments".
I guess I was giving the author the benefit of the doubt... saying "I understand why there's no swap, but why can't it just write to disk when memory gets low?" is nonsensical.
I’ve said this a million times. I have no idea how the Republicans have managed to brand themselves as the fiscally-responsible party.
It's pretty much impossible to waste time reading bullshit on Vufine. Focusing on the display and moving the eyeball takes some effort. So it's tiresome to read on it for long time uninterrupted. But it is good for occasional glancing. Basically, it is a bad fit for content consumption (watching optimised videos from local disk is ok experience, tho), but is promising for other uses including writing text. Which is compelling to many HN people!

I use it as rarely as 1-2 times a week, just so I explore the possibilities and practice a bit. Not much time to work on perfecting wearable workflows, but I have some plans.
Both PHP and ColdFusion have frameworks (Laravel and Coldbox for example) to address this. Without Rails or Sinatra, Ruby web apps would have the same problems.
You should be worried about both. A crisis in either of them will cause a lot of suffering.
Not all research is publicly funded. Historically speaking, most of it was not, until relatively recently. I don't disagree that publicly funded research should be public, but I think applying that universally to say that all patents are evil is rather strong and leaves no room for private investment.
Don't confuse "our math breaks down at this point" with "it can't physically happen".

Planck time is the time at which, if you want to do physics, you have to take into account quantum mechanics and gravity (i.e. understand quantum gravity). Something we don't know how to do. But it doesn't necessarily mean time is discrete. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.

That's sad.
Was it because of disagreements?
That's not really accurate. You can't 'remove' optical flaws, but they can be masked - to an extent. Correcting for those flaws via software isn't 'free', you can only do it at the expense of image quality.
There is no cap of 4% per year. If you just continue your violations the EU can continue levying fines and go past the 4% until you comply with the lawful order. I am not sure what the cap is in practice, because as far as I know no company has continued to just ignore EU for more than a few months.

Commercial research is decently different from academic research, which is what I think Rob may be referring to.

Commercial research needs to keep in mind the existing legacy systems used by the sponsor. Innovations are more evolutionary instead of revolutionary as the field matures. They may be more tailored to observable pain points of the research sponsor. They may not be widely shared if they yield results providing a competitive advantage. While it may not demand immediate returns, commercial research does have an axe to grind. All of this hampers advancement in the field of computer science in general.

I also don't know if there's any kind of commercial research on the scale of XEROX PARC or Bell Labs. I can't think of any off the top of my head. Microsoft and Google do some pretty neat research, but I don't think they've shipped anything quite on a similar scale.

There's really no organization hiring the best talent to work on the kind of black swan events commercial research may miss. For example, I think it'd be cool to have a microcode-based OS; I've heard it would help with keeping operating systems secure. But who would fund it, and who would work on it? Right now it doesn't look like anybody would, and that might be what Rob is concerned about.
They were announced (Prada: Dec 2006, iPhone: Jan 2007) and released (Prada: May 2007, iPhone: June 2007) at approximately the same time. Further, I don't think the Prada had multi-touch capabilities, like pinch-to-zoom
You're right about that part, though I've read that since the IR refracts differently than the green, you'll wind up with a region where you're directly exposed to the IR but not to the visible light.
Yes that entitles you to a lot of software, so it is a good deal for professional use.

For students IBM does a "Master the Mainframe" contest where you can get remote access to an environment and see what it is like as a user and developer.
I very much doubt it will work..for the devs..Developers are a special category of people,who like to earn a lot at their day job,yet tirelessly praise open source and try their best not to pay for anything.The best example of this is vue.js,which is extremely popular and used by thousands of people.The creator and main contributor is accepting Patreon, corporate sponsorship and etc.Go on his Patreon account and see how much he's pulling in.If that's the money for one of the most popular projects in JS ecosystem, the rest of the guys will be making $100/month..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Planck time concerns the smallest possible observable unit of time, but not necessarily the smallest possible unit of time, correct? As a bystander I get the impression that [science currently thinks that] it's beyond the limits of science to prove whether or not a unit of time smaller than the Planck time exists, and since there's no natural law that says that things only exist if they are provable, that means that the "tick rate" of the universe might be smaller than the Planck time.
All of SiFive's chips use Chisel, it's our primary design language. We use commercial tools post-Verilog (ie, synthesis and place+route). We use Verilator for some simulation, but also use commercial Verilog simulators.

We have chips shipping in volume.
Hmm, my wife wants to work in education. She filled a role that was open for 10 months so the argument that she took an American's job is not valid.

Agreed. I think most people are willing to pay for things they value, but in the past many forms of digital content was just too difficult or inconvenient to obtain.

Am I willing to make sure I'm home at 9pm sharp on a Thursday to watch a TV show? No. Am I willing to pay $30 to stream the whole season on demand? Definitely.

There are number of reasons as you can imagine. Those lenses would be enormous (think 10lb lens + camera). It is very difficult to manufacture large lenses (with high quality), requiring a complete change in the tooling. It would also be labor intensive and thus only a very limited quantity can be made. At f/1.8, the lens price would probably be you just directly paying the technicians salary plus overhead.

The light is being put through a translucent medium, like shining a laser through milk or smoke or something, so you can see the scattered light. Conventional/non-QM-based light physics can handle this situation.

If you mean, how are they seeing the non-scattered light, you are correct that they are not.
Fuji also has a history with medium format rangefinders, lenses for which translate well to mirrorless digital designs since rangefinder cameras are... mirrorless.
It should be. Unfortunately even really obviously fine cases like Swedish government agencies on the Sweden TLD (försäkringskassan.se), which by the way supposedly has a proper IDN policy that browsers should respect, don't get respected by all modern browsers :(
I don't know if that follows. I think it's reasonable to expect a piece of code that works with integer numbers to also work with bigints. But it's not really reasonable to expect it to work with anything that closely resembles a number. That sort of weak typing is much more problematic and should be avoided.

But I dunno, maybe it shouldn't be expected to work with bigints either. It's not a regular int, so I doubt people will start using these as array indices in for loops or what have you, so maybe it should be a different type...

If you look at the fine details, everything is soft. Not one single line in the whole photo looks crisp and sharp.

This is not an issue with the camera, mind you — just a fact of life when taking photos at this sort of range — but it does highlight why you don't get nearly as much of a benefit from that 100MP sensor versus their 50MP medium format cameras as you'd think you do.

This is undoubtedly a brilliant studio camera for applications like fashion or product photography, but completely and utterly pointless as a landscape camera, where physics severely limits the benefits you're getting for the extra price.
that's fine but you shouldn't allow Congress to mess it up completely as some ideologues want to do.
I’m not arguing against mercantilism itself in the context of art, really.

Just the lock-in currently enjoyed by the companies that own the MPAA and RIAA. If all the work is done on a digital platform and can be published to a dozen websites with a few clicks, their traditional distribution arrangements hold less value.

I say own even though legally that’s not accurate. The studios effectively control MPAA/RIAA talking points. Those two groups exist to make lobbying for studio interests more economical. Again, the elite get what the labor class does not: unions.

I digress.
Thank you for such a thoughtful reply.

These are all important problems, but there have been people working on them for decades already without much progress. What we really need is for either government to tackle these problems itself, or else to put in place market mechanisms that are able to better reward entrepreneurs for solving them.

I had a go at solving sudokos, but I found the experience tedious, mechanical and far too easy to make a mistake.

In fact just the frustration inducing thing to tickle the first of the virtues of a programmer: "Laziness". I then wrote a solver in Python which was far more fun than solving sudokus by hand and has the advantage that I never need to solve one of the dratted puzzles again ;-)

I recommend it as an exercise for all programmers!

I didn't document that process, but I did for solving a different puzzle which you may enjoy if you need inspiration: https://www.craig-wood.com/nick/articles/snake-puzzle/

I've personally used Postgres with a couple of gigabytes of data without problems and without tuning. Plenty of people seem to be using Postgres for deployments in the terabyte range, and apparently some people use it for petabytes of data.

The default settings of postgres are more tuned for OLTP though, while you wanted to do OLAP. At least increasing the per-session memory limit would be advisiable to get anything done in any amount of time (the default is something tiny like 64MB). In general configuring Postgres to use more RAM is important to make things fast.
So, a mood ring?
It won’t be. The games industry is littered with hardware that flopped. Most indie games fail to turn a profit and even the likes of Sega and Nintendo have released hardware that has failed to sell. Apple couldn’t even make a successful console and they had tried. Yet this thing is weirder and significantly less appealing to the mainstream so they’re reliant entirely only a super niche crowd to turn a profit.

While I’m sure they will sell some devices and they will likely become a collectors item in the future; I can’t see them selling enough to make this worthwhile nor keep people playing on it long enough to be considered anything more than an expensive yet short-lived novelty item.

Hopefully I’m wrong, but as a collector of games consoles - including many of those that failed - I’m not filled with any confidence about the Playdate.
