Yes, it's a smart move that frees up the engineering effort that was previously devoted to catching up to Chrome, rather than improving on it. How they redeploy them isn't something we can tell from the outside.

There are occasional debates on Hacker News about when you should rewrite your codebase. Similar arguments apply here: when should you rewrite someone else's codebase?
I firmly don't believe they're changing frameworks to "provide platform lockin".

Development philosophies change over time, like the other's said, some of those UI frameworks you mentioned are 20+ years old.

It does suck that we can't use it on other platforms, and I'm sure they don't want to spend resources on doing so, but there's no way the main motivation is to keep people switching frameworks constantly.
Looks like it shifts the focus toward developing more intelligent components. They mentioned custom SwiftUI components a few times in the demo.

This is one of the things I am eager to get a deep dive on in later session videos.
From a much better article about the same study (with a better photo):

> Instead, researchers found that bike infrastructure, particularly physical barriers that separate bikes from speeding cars as opposed to shared or painted lanes, significantly lowered fatalities in cities that installed them. [Emphasis mine.]

Well, there's plenty of healthy competition between cloud providers. AWS doesn't have the stranglehold on the industry like they do in retail, where you have no choice but to be on Amazon.
LACP does generally “just work”, the problem is when you want one machine or session to be able to max multiple links. The solution here remains the same as it always has - multipath. I hope Apple has added support for SMB multi-channel support for these users since I last checked.
AMEX did too, I think the problem is the keyspace is small enough that it would be a serious problem.
Fair question. IMO this is the government trying to appease the public after they refused to maintain net neutrality, despite overwhelming public support for the policy. I've edited my comment to make that clear.
Bicycle helmets aren't completely unknown, I see kids under 10 wearing them more.

Cycling in the US isn't dangerous because of traffic or speed. Amsterdam has that in abundance! Its that American automobile drivers simply don't see bicycles let alone understand what they can and cannot do. Anything that isn't a car or truck does not compute.
Marketshare != Monopolizing

Microsoft would have to be doing anticompetitive behavior to be monopolizing the desktop market. Things such as forcing OEMs to not allow linux support, or banning iTunes installation on Windows. Simply being popular isn't the same as a monopoly.

Apple has, on the other hand, been monopolizing their iOS devices with the app store. It is the only way to install apps on iOS and Apple has played fast and loose with competitors (like Spotify) in the past: https://www.macrumors.com/2019/06/03/eu-awaiting-apple-respo...
yes, they're drawn too. but, i think what the above comment is pointing out is that Flutter itself does the drawing, instead of delegating the drawing to iOS or Android native widgets.
Even better, let's make everything free! All problems solved with one brilliant move.
Agreed, I think it’s the most important part of the demo today.
Yes, it is great that they have a real high-end product. But in the past, at least the starting price of the Mac Pro was in enthusiast-range. There should be a product between the Mini and the Pro which supports a desktop graphics card.
Music, graphic design, video have been the core Apple "Pro" markets since forever. Developers focused on anything other than the Apple ecosystem are a relatively new addition to that lineup, and one that Apple hasn't _really_ ever catered to.

Are "house note" and "car note" regional terms? I don't think i've ever heard them before, but then i don't live in the US.
IBMs fall began with the PC, which they made an open design explicitly because of anti-trust pressures. They lost control of the design and the market on PCs, which led to the rise of, well, most of the market since then. Your comments are wrong enough to be attempts at revision of history.
As others have noted in this thread, the iMac Pro outspecs this unit at a cheaper price.
This makes me think: is sustained happiness even possible? I certainly haven't experienced it myself. Given limited resource and time, I find it really hard to meet that goal.
I was similarly impressed by the autostrada in Italy. They do have speed limits, but the cops don't seem to enforce them unless you're driving a truck.
Excerpts: "Olivia MFSK is an amateur radioteletype protocol, using multiple frequency-shift keying (MFSK) and designed to work in difficult (low signal-to-noise ratio plus multipath propagation) conditions on shortwave bands. The signal can be accurately received even if the surrounding noise is 10 dB stronger." [...] "The tests proved that the protocol works well and can allow regular intercontinental radio contacts with as little as one watt RF power. Since 2005 Olivia has become a standard for digital data transfer under white noise, fading and multipath, flutter (polar path) and auroral conditions."

My thoughts:

A good candidate for Star Trek's Communicator and/or communication with distant points in space (future spaceships?) too? Unknown by me at this point in time, but certainly interesting...
So you're saying that what everyone meant by "for the pros" was "for me"? Shocking.
You're not kidding. I took a 30 second jaunt with google maps and found this:

Sadly I don't think it's possible to represent an infinite trace as a SAT problem, so you can't check any liveness properties (will a good thing eventually happen) unless you use something more powerful. Promela/Spin and TLA+/TLC use model checkers, TLA+/TLAPS and B/Rodin use theorem provers, Electrum uses an SMT solver.
I was there from the early days, but could not recommend working with this team enough.

Steli believes in continuous self improvement and I feel fortunate enough to consider him as a very close (pun intended) friend.

The team has seen at least one member leave to start a startup and then return years later. This is unheard of at this small of a startup.

Also years ago I convinced the poster (philfreo) to join. :)
there were lots of Swift holdouts. In fact, there has been a resurgence of Objective C

Objective C is much higher than Swift: 11 vs 18.

This should reverse the rankings and might push Swift into a top 10 language.

This is what always confuses me when people say "macOS/iOS is soooo intuitive!" - discoverability of features is well, horrible. You have to long/3d/long 3d press all manner of elements to discover, not to mention single/two/three finger swipes in differing directions, from screen, from edge.
But isn't SFP+ not compatible with 1G (i.e. can only be used with a 10G network equipment)? If you are selling a machine that people will plug into either a 1gbe or 10gbe network, you'd rather have some interface that can downgrade.
Sorry I meant by the service you're signing into, any of their 3rd party trackers, or in case of a data breach. This sets it apart from e.g. gmail's username+servicename@gmail.com, or a wildcard on a private domainname which only you ever use.

The video says the accelerator card is for 4k & 8k RAW video. So I wouldn't expect it to do anything at all other than decode 4K & 8K RAW footage, kinda like the RED ROCKET-X.
The stand attachment seems really nice though. Would've been a steal at around a $499 price point but obviously that isn't Apple's game.

Did you not see that it attaches magnetically, and that you can basically rotate it in any direction and also "pull" and "push" it without a lot of physical exertion? It seems pretty interesting. Sure, it's definitely a little pricey, but it isn't just a "stand" in the same way that a plastic DELL monitor is mounted on a "stand."

Z80 and 8080 only --- I would like it to be 8080 only but I haven't been able to source an 8080 CP/M kernel and shell which are provably open source. So instead I'm using ZSDOS kernel (GPL) and the ZCPR1 shell (PD).

Fun fact: CP/M is modular! You can mix and match kernels, shells and BIOSes as much as you like and everything's still binary compatible! What's more, the original Digital Research distribution contained all the tools necessary to let you do this and port CP/M to a new architecture! Truly, it was a different era.

Interested parties may wish to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGWshrMZcCc, where I demonstrate an earlier version of the thing running on a Z80-based Amstrad NC200 laptop, and do some programming on it.

There's a youtube channel where a guy interviews homeless people. A lot of them just chose to live on the streets over the the pressures of making rent money in a job. They chose to check out of society. If there's a program that says "live on the street for 3 years and you get a free flat", I'm betting it would be an ok deal for some.
A good chunk of linux and related development is done by programmers being paid by some for-profit company in whose interest is it either to have those chunks developed or who want to keep their employees happy by letting them do open source contributions. Without this invisible injection of funds, linux development would slow down significantly and it might not remain competitive.

Browsers are a lot less modular than operating systems and they operate in a different market (eg. contributing to their development doesn't help the bottom line of any company particularly), so Firefox doesn't get a lot of paid for third-party developer time. Hence, Mozilla makes unfortunate compromises.
How silly of me to forget to include that. Apologies for the oversight.

Celerity is a consulting shop based out of DC. It works with Enterprise 500 companies. Ive been there for about 2 years remotely (engineer) and its been a good place to work.
My compile times being shorter by seconds isn't important. Having lots of cores and memory is. There are many types of software to develop and mine is best developed and tested on a bevy of VMs or containers.

That said, I could still avoid the Apple tax with a Precision or something from System76. My my employer tends toward Apple on the desktop and Dell in the datacenter, but $dayjob will more likely refresh with a MBP than one of these behemoths.

I build my own whitebox systems at home mostly, and AMD's been good to me on price/performance. I have a few Macs. Wouldn't mind a Talos II from Raptor Engineering or one of these newest Mac Pro machines if I could justify the cost.
To be fair, they tried to go after AT&T to kill the Time Warner deal (because they own CNN), but the judge basically threw out the case.
This is really good for consumers, but I'm afraid that many websites simply won't bother to implement this. Apple just doesn't have the unique marketshare that Google and FB have. The set of users that would use such a thing is the union of privacy focused users and users with an Apple ID and not a Facebook or Google account. This set is heavily overrepresented on HN but is relatively small overall.

If I run foo dot com, is that set of users attractive enough to me that I'll spend the engineering time to implement this? I can't think of many instances where it would be.

What about government granted regulated monopolies like utilities?
I was waiting for Apple to react to Flutter. It was a threat. They couldn't bluntly forbid Flutter apps. Now it seems this is their answer.

Soon you'll be able to compile SwiftUI to Flutter and reach all platforms it reaches. Their play: to get the best experience, you'd still need to buy an iPhone.

Ask HN: Looking for best practices on how to execute at a high level
We are a 25 person tech startup in the wellness space and while our culture is amazing; really good execution is an ongoing struggle for us.

Can anyone share practical advice or direction about how to be incredible at execution.
Sorry, but this is a very weak article.

First, not having competition does not make one a monopoly. It's anti-competitive (unfair) practices that make one a monopoly.

IE, now that had the form of a monopoly, in its day.

Then, he goes on to ignore WHATWG, which is the real authority, and is comprised of Apple, Mozilla, Google, Microsoft. I don't follow closely enough, but I'd be surprised to learn that Google has outsized power.

Lastly, to the extent that widevine is important, it isn't restricted to Chrome.
Why on earth would you ever even consider getting a Mac Pro if a Mac Mini will do the job you need? Unless you have $5,000+ just sitting around you want to throw away on street creds? This is a serious question, because I really cannot possibly fathom what scenario would actually put you in that position as a buyer other than, "I have money and I like to spend it".

Also the idea that ARM hardware is somehow a threat to your "investment" is just random FUD. First, it's still just speculation. But second, assuming it's 100% true -- you're kidding yourselves if you think Apple is suddenly going to appear with magical Xeon-class 28-core ARM CPUs sometime in the next year that can compete with what they're offering here. Try 5+ years (minimum) after their first desktop-class CPUs are proven rock-solid. This Mac Pro cycle will probably last that long. If they do switch anytime soon, it will likely be only lower end machines like the MacBook Airs and non-Pro models. And even then, if history is anything to go by, they'll offer 5+ years of binary compatibility for newer devices to run old applications and multi-target toolchain support for developers to target all systems. People keep computers, even laptops, for longer and longer now. x86 macOS machines are not going anywhere, anytime soon, and Apple knows not to randomly segment/abandon users like that.

I'm not going to buy this machine for a number of reasons (including the astronomical base cost), but FUD about future magical ARM machines doesn't hold up at all, IMO.
>but I'd personally rather 10G over SFP+.

Is that the wrong way around? I'm struggling to parse otherwise.
This isn't comprehensive, but no one has really talked about Excel being unfairly leveraged to prevent the entry of competitors, gain an unfair advantage in unrelated markets, or exploit its consumers.

Now Google may not have done any of the above with search, but it's likely possible to argue that they have unfairly promoted their own products over others, or "unfairly" chose to not list certain websites.
Wow, thats pretty cool, I had no idea.
I am a bit shocked that it works though.
This, but completely unironically.
With high taxes, governments must have huge amount of power to be able to collect and spend all the money. So then, this same people you talk about, go into the government. And usually they manage to do much more harm this way than in low tax case where power is distributed to more people.
D-Link gear isn’t exactly what I’d judge networking standards on, they work I suppose but they’re hardly what I would install in even a small business office.

I'd prefer to live in Switzerland. More economic and social freedom. Neither Russia nor China have too much social or economic freedom so honestly I just think the comparison doesn't make sense. Sure, someone at some point claimed Russia tried liberalism/democracy, but it was a lie, it was never tried. There's less scarcity now that in Soviet times, for sure, but it's still a crony government with no freedom of expression, which is kind of similar to China. However there's way less freedom in China probably.
It sounds very similar to the subscription radio case cited in the ABA article I linked:

>in Knutson v. Sirius XM Radio, 771 F.3d 559 (9th Cir. 2014), the terms regarding an automobile’s trial subscription to a satellite radio service were sent to the owner a month after the purchase of the automobile in an envelope marked “Welcome Kit.” The Ninth Circuit refused to enforce the additional terms because there was no mutual assent to the terms. The Ninth Circuit found no evidence that the purchaser of the automobile knew that he had purchased anything from Sirius or was entering into a relationship with Sirius, let alone had agreed to the terms (which contained an arbitration clause). Therefore, continued use of the service by the purchaser did not manifest assent to the terms.

Not exactly on point, and there are other such cases cited in the article that support enforceability...but it’s all going to come down to nitty gritty facts (for example another case found the terms of the change in price were buried in page 4 of an invoice; therefore, unenforceable).
But Google cannot get away with screwing both customers and developers.

Apple doesn't seem to provide competition in the tech space that is pro consumer or pro developer.

Apple is pushing profit more than anyone else in tech.
Well, driving in most countries but Germany is more relaxing because everyone goes at the same low speed.

You can have the same experience on a German Autobahn by staying in the right lane. You'll go at the same low speed as the trucks, nice and cozy, straight, without much worries or concentration needed.

Now, if you want to go faster, you do have the option (unlike in other countries), but then you'll have to be a bit more careful and dynamic, because it is quite possible that a car approaches you from behind faster than you approach a stationary target (if the car goes 250 km/h while you go 120 km/h, say). Of course that requires keeping an eye on not only the traffic in front, but also the traffic behind, and getting out of the way when required, so you have to change lanes quite frequently.

It is somewhat more stressful (if you choose to leave the slow lane), but that's the price you pay.

Furthermore, after a while, all this becomes second nature, and rather stress free, as long as everyone follows the rule. (What remains stressful are drivers not following the rules, eg not signalling before changing lanes, or changing into your lane when you're about to overtake them, etc.)
It's not good for users when vendor drivers work and Apple's drivers don't. I know OpenGL is deprecated, but a lot of apps still use it because it's cross platform, and Apple has the worst GL drivers in the industry. Even Metal is missing many features from Vulkan [1].

I know nothing about SAN, but I'm still surprised that it would be faster than a PCIe connected local SSD?
One other thing that seems powerful is that users that use Sign In With Apple have some guarantee of quality; with Apple using FaceId to authenticate, there's some amount of guarantee that you're not a bot.
It's almost like many of the very companies you mentioned were subject to antitrust investigations and without antitrust laws hanging above their heads like a sword of Damocles would be free to use their vast fortunes to stamp out any competition that threatened them ^.^
The trucks have very calm and largely rule-abiding drivers though. Many of them are just Polish companies doing Western European transports because they are cheaper. But the Polish small transporters... On a drive two weeks ago I've had several overtake on the right (which is illegal) and recklessly merge into small gaps in the left lane in thick traffic. All lanes have minor speed variations in that kind of traffic and that kind of behavior just makes things worse for everyone else.

The density of dick drivers is generally pretty high on the Autobahn. BMW and Audi drivers tend to be the worst. Actual proper sports cars (except Lamborghinis and other Mafia-appeal cars) are the fast cars with the nicest drivers.
Capital One still has this feature for online transactions.
