I find Objective-C to have that range. I have used it for implementing everything from kernel drivers (DriverKit, yay!) to programming languages to server apps and GUI apps.

Not perfect at the entire range, but it does have it.

And having used it and seen what worked well and what didn't, I have some ideas as to how to make it better.

I think it could be improved by having the Smalltalk-side be the default and then add mechanisms to move towards the machine again. Either very simply (add some primitive type declarations) or with greater power, from a less constrained base.
> Stated like that, this sounds like a simple matter of working the numbers

I don't think it is that simple, because the attempt to remove cruft might introduce new one and can make it even harder to reason about the code.

From this long discussion a couple of months ago ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19415185 ), this comment is about fans spinning up:

in order to eek out a tenth of a gigahertz for their marketing materials (with rapidly diminishing returns because physics), manufacturers usually set Turbo Boost Power Limits 5-10 (or more) watts too high. Since Turbo Boost usually maximizes a single core's frequency and the heat generated increases exponentially, it creates a very concentrated heat spike in the silicon. Even if the CPU heat sink is good enough to passively dissipate that much heat from all of the cores, the turbo boost hot spot forces the fans to spin up early before the CPU knows how long the boost will be needed (otherwise Turbo boost would significantly reduce the lifetime of the CPU). Combined with random scheduled OS tasks that take a split second of turbo to run a process [..]

This could also apply to thermal throttling of the CPU. Imagine if your laptop is on that edge, with some dust in the heatsinks and fans, then a can of compressed air and an install of ThrottleStop (or other software) to underclock a little and reduce the maximum boost frequency, and thereby reduce thermal throttling, might make it run smoother and faster-on-average.

Or another possibility:

If your fan is spinning up when scrolling in Slack it's likely an indication that Electron (Chrome) is refusing to use the GPU for rendering acceleration. This is likely either due to a driver issue or the driver/gpu being on chrome's blacklist. I had this problem once on a hackintosh and as I recall starting Slack from a terminal with the `--ignore-gpu-blacklist` option fixed it.

If you NetFlix from Chrome, that might be worth a try, or upgrade/downgrade display drivers for testing. ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19415775 )

An i7 that could stream video, should still be able to stream video. If it can't, something has gone wrong, and should be traceable and fixable.
So for GPU intensive workloads at least, it seems to make more sense to get a lower spec’d laptop for the road and an external GPU as a docking station if you need the portability.
I was scheduled to talk at an InfiniBand conference. The day arrived - and my talk was cancelled. By the sponsoring organization Microsoft. Because I was going to talk about deficits in interface specifications. Microsoft hadn't fleshed out their plans in that regard, and didn't want anybody talking about it without their marketing message being foremost. They were paying for the conference, after all.

But it left a bad taste in my mouth.
I find it uncomfortable. I'd probably hate acting classes. But, even as someone who does a lot of presenting, classes are really useful and I've benefited when I've pushed myself to take them. You'll probably find it more useful in the long run that something about the framework du jour which you can probably do equally well on-line.

I thought I was going to roll my eyes at the selection, but there's something for everyone here given the year and they allow listeners to dip into genre's they may never actively listen to.

Quite nice to see Miles Davis' "Kinda Blue" and the Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Take Five". Those were the two albums (along with Coltrane's "Blue Train" and Thelonius Monk - [don't remember the record]) that gave me an entry door into jazz back in the mid-90's and ever since jazz has been such a joy in my life. Davis' "So What" still stands up the hairs on the back of my neck even after 25 years each time I play it.

That said I have a fairly wide taste in music ranging from Napalm Death to Philip Glass, from 60's psychadelic to 21st century analogue electronica.

I'm a psychiatrist, and I haven't read the book yet but the review covers a lot of objectively valid criticisms of modern psychiatry. Everyone involved on all sides of the debate would do well to heed the advice for moderation vs an "all-or-nothing" approach.

I'm not sure if it's in the book, but part of the zeal for a biological and medication-based approach is the number of players who really want it to be true. Talk therapy is inefficient, expensive, and difficult. Good psychotherapy is not "rent-a-friend." Insurance companies, (many) patients, and pharmaceutical companies all really really want the answer to come in the form of a pill.

The problem is, wanting it doesn't make it so. There's a relatively small subset of problems walking into my office that medications can fix. Occasionally, medications are the only reasonable tool for the job, period. Even in those cases, they should ideally almost always be combined with non-pharmacologic interventions.

Another little-discussed part of this picture is that there is a booming number of mid-level practitioners such as nurse practitioners who are providing psychiatric care unsupervised. Their training is far shorter and includes much less psychotherapy, and there are fewer restrictions are their interactions with pharmaceutical companies. The results are predictable. Troublingly, I have seen dozens to hundreds of patients who have previously seen nurse practitioners, and have yet to meet one who knew that they were seeing a nurse practitioner rather than a physician psychiatrist.

Edit to add: It's not as though many in psychiatry haven't identified this issue. Here's one recent publication highlighting the problem - https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/abs/10.1146/annurev-clinps...

> If you believe content is worth paying for at all, the price of a cup of coffee every month seems perfectly reasonable.

First: In the USA, a cup of coffee might cost 5$; in other countries, it is much cheaper.

Second: Every payment you do in the internet leaves a huge data track since there exists no analogue for cash for paying anonymously in the internet. So in particular if you are skeptical of data krakens like Facebook etc., you should be very cautious to pay in the internet. In particular, for each payment in the internet, you do not only pay with money, but also with lots of sensitive data.
Hmm, I was thinking that it wasn’t too varied, actually. For example, I got pretty far down the list before I saw anyone who wasn’t a white man. (That’s their prerogative of course, nobody was requiring them to meet some level of musical diversity.)

I guess it depends on how different you think Mozart and the Beatles are.

> Americans believe they have a meritocracy

That’s an unwarranted generality. In my experience, the likelihood of an American claiming to believe that is positively correlated with socioeconomic status: those with higher status are more likely to believe status reflects merit.
The convention of calling a person by just their last name has no bearing on their name order. Obama is still Barack Obama, not Obama Barack.

If Russians don't say Vladimir, that doesn't make his name Putin Vladimir.

The only Western nation that has a different naming scheme is Hungary, which uses the Japanese-like family-name-first scheme.

My experience was the same as all of my other classmates experience, and it is in the top 3 tech schools in the world.

I am describing what the best schools in the entire world do, and I have lots of knowledge from my classwork, and other classmates experience.

These are the best schools in the world.

And apparently someone else who responded had a similar experience at Stanford, another college that is among the best in the world.

You seem to have zero knowledge about how colleges work at even the literal best schools in the world.

Basically every top college in the world still has tests and final exams and studying and cramming. This is called the "normal college experience" at basically every college and top college in the world (and backed up by someone else in this thread from Stanford!).

Changing culture is significantly harder than learning a new skill set. Culture isn't a defined set of rules that applies to the different people the same each time. People skills are generally one of the hardest skills to learn for the reason. Plainly there's no reason for people to learn most cultural shifts, while this shift is necessary and right, there's also an extreme variance of what's allowed or expected based on age and political leanings. While there are some really obvious lines that get crossed i.e. sexual favors, making comments about physical appearance, blatant sexist comments, most of what's being debated are things like what's appropriate physical contact? Is a supportive tap on the arm allowed? Is hugging a close co-worker allowed? What if a female coworker makes a sexually suggestive comment? What do you do if you are falsely accused and automatically assumed guilty because we're supposed to automatically believe all women? What path is there for redemption for reformed harassers? To suggest that questions like these are easily answered or even that they have a single answer among women isn't justifiable.

I've used laptops and desktops with GPUs from all 3 manufacturers. The only issues I've had were either really minor (ie. About the same as the other platforms), or with graphics switching (ie. Bumblebee). If you're just using the recommended drivers for the hardware I'd be extremely surprised if it was as unstable as you describe.

For reference, it's recommended you use the open source drivers for Intel and AMD, and the proprietary drivers for NVIDIA. No PPAs required.

It makes sense. The ancestors of African-Americans were in many cases forced to convert to Christianity after being transported to America. In those circumstances, you need to add a lot more to the experience than just scripture if you want to maintain your flock.

> don't want thinner. I don't want a touchbar. I don't want this oversized touchpad I touch constantly when it's on my lap.

You may not realize it yet, but you are no longer Apple's market. Do your future self a favor and figure out how to transition to something sustainable.

Apple used to make computers that were both elegant and practical... But the iphone taught execs that there is a much more profitable market willing to pay through the roof for extremely stylish looking computers at the cost of _everything_ else, they will keep going further down this road because there is plenty of demand. Apple now sell gorgeous Ferraris, but the kind that will drive you insane and are not actually useful or comfortable for anything other than showing off.

The good news is that sexy PC laptops now exist, and some of them are still actually practical too! better yet some of those sexy practical laptops run Linux! Well!

“Hardware Tor” Privacy Device Spotted on KickStarter
I really wish this tutorial existed 5 years ago. It would've convinced me to actually try Phoenix instead of pulling up the official getting started guide only to scream internally at all the moving parts and start looking for alternatives.

But on the other hand, had this tutorial existed 5 years ago, I wouldn't have found Sugar (sugar-framework.github.io), and in turn wouldn't have started contributing to it, and in turn wouldn't have gone on the various deep dives into OTP and Plug necessary to comprehend it, let alone become one of the maintainers of it (albeit a rather neglectful one; this year's New Years Resolution is to address some longstanding bugs and get it back into a state where it could actually be to Phoenix as, say, Padrino is to Rails or Flask is to Django), so I guess it ain't all bad :)
> all for a Touchbar no one wants and 0.5mm cut in thickness.

I second this. It's been years now, and I still don't really see TouchBar as indispensable. Not enough apps make special use of it yet.

I don't care as much about thinness either. I just want something that works where I can replace or add RAM and storage myself.

As for magsafe, you can get a 3rd party replacement if you're willing to spend $50.

The only reason I stayed is because of MacOS, but current Apple hardware has gone into a weird direction. It's harder and harder to stay when Windows now ships with Linux.
What sort of frustrates me most about this isn't that I hate the touchbar, or that I'll have to buy it, but that it's hard to find a system with competitive specs that costs as much or less.

I want a system with an octo-core i9, 32GBs of RAM, a metal body, and a large multi-touch trackpad. As much as I hate to say it, if you want a high-end laptop, Apple still has the market. I found some Dells that are close spec wise but not all the way there, or systems which are as thick as a deck of magic cards... They're (apple) are gonna get my $4k whether I like it or not.

I was working on a personal project recently which involved importing lots of Japanese names into a database for my app. I had originally made a "person" table with columns for "given_name" and "family_name" – but ended up going with a combined "name" column because I couldn't find a reliable way to determine if data from different sources was using the given-first or family-first convention (and I was automatically importing some of it, so I couldn't make case-by-case decisions).

This was just a fun app for personal use, so it wasn't the end of the world to just punt on the data, but it was frustrating nonetheless.
Being 'against' Tesla isn't being against the environment and innovation. The vector of personal transportation is pointed in the right direction here with or without Tesla. They have moved things forward, no doubt. But Tesla and these larger issues can and should be separated.
