It's simple policy. Apple do their own dev and don't use third party companies for the development. This is for a variety of reasons including providing a tailored platform to their specifications, and meeting the level of secrecy required internally.

Whether you agree or not with the policy, it's not one motivated by lock in.

And again it's not a matter of being cheap. It's a matter of perspective. Apple believe metal is worth using and that it delivers needed performance, optimization and features for their stack. Apple also believe in very straightforward developer stories within their own platform. Vulkan doesn't provide value above and beyond what metal does from apples perspective, and it complicates their developer story.
Thank you for your honest reply, I just upvoted you.

> While I agree with your other words, is the last paragraph really necessary? If you want us mainlanders to trust you, it is advisable to not praise Japan when it is not directly related to the conversation.

I agree that the last paragraph is not necessary. But I did learn something from your reply to my last paragraph.

I personally separate the Japanese people we see nowadays from the wartime Japan under militarism, and I think this sentiment is popular among the recent generations in Hong Kong (and perhaps in Europe and US, etc). Older generations in Hong Kong, who experienced the Japanese occupation, think differently, understandably.

So to a Hong Konger like me, praising Japan does not have any strings of nationalism attached. It is like praising the spice in Thai food (and this is irrelevant to whether we like Chinese food, or China). And that's why I am being over-insenstive here, and I could have done better.

Likewise, most of Hong Kong people could separate mainland people from CCP.

Thanks for letting me know something I was not aware of, and I sincerely praise those mainlanders for their effort. Keep up with the good work.

As your linked article also suggests, Japan is leading the world in cleaning after themselves, that's why I gave credit to them.

And back to the protest, I mention that Hong Kong people are cleaning trashes in protest [1], because I disagree with the "riot" charge by the government [2], which could result in a maximum term of ten years.

> The bill also invokes the notwithstanding clause in an effort to spare it from court challenges about its constitutionality.

To explain what this means, the Canadian charter of rights and freedoms (equivalent to the various rights spelled out in the American constitution) includes a clause, called the not withstanding clause, that basically says "you can make a law that violates these rights as long as you say so in the law, and you renew that law every 5 years".
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_33_of_the_Canadian_C...

> The Parliament of Canada, a provincial legislature or a territorial legislature may declare that one of its laws or part of a law applies temporarily ("notwithstanding") countermanding sections of the Charter, thereby nullifying any judicial review by overriding the Charter protections for a limited period of time. This is done by including a section in the law clearly specifying which rights have been overridden. A simple majority vote in any of Canada's 14 jurisdictions may suspend the core rights of the Charter.

Basically, imagine if states could pass temporary laws that were not allowed to be challenged as unconstitutional. For some reason, Canada allows that.
OpenJDK for Java 12 also does it, as Intel has contributed AVX optimizations to it.
Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, known as the
notwithstanding clause, is part of the Constitution of Canada. Also
known as the override clause, Section 33 allows federal, provincial
or territorial governments to temporarily override, or bypass,
certain Charter rights. Section 33 overrides can last only five years,
when they are subject to renewal. Although the clause is available to
governments, its use is politically difficult and therefore rare. It
is known colloquially as the “nuclear option,” because its use is
considered extremely severe. Since the Constitution was patriated in
1982, the clause has been used only a handful of times by various
provinces. The federal government has never
invoked the notwithstanding clause.

It's basically a way to get stuff through without repercussion, but its hard to do.

Seems suspicious that they're including it. My question is: What does it gain them?
English has additional advantage of being painfully simple logical, grammar-wise. There's only a handfull of grammar rules to learn, and they are pretty consistent, exceptions are quite rare. This helps to write clear and concise text, unlike languages like, say, Polish, which evolved when Poland was under foreign rule for over a century, and for that reason it is deliberately cryptic and ambigous :)
I'll let others comment on the technical differences.

Have you read The Maglev paper out of Google? At the time right before that was published, one of my engineers was implementing much the same thing. They considered both HAProxy and nginx for the second layer of load balancing. The were technical reasons in either direction. There was some pressure (from me) to go with nginx because we were already using it as our primary webserver, so we could avoid introducing another new technology for people to master.

We went with HAProxy. Why? Because when said engineer contacted them, describing what he was doing, they (here: the main HAProxy dev) engaged in discussion, helped, even included his needs in their planning. At least at the time, nginx folks just responded with that they'd talk to him after he had secured a licensing deal. The uphill battle this engineer would've had to fight in corporate politics to get licensing sorted out that early in the prototyping phase would have been rough. Last I heard, the company still had a licensing/support deal with HAProxy.

Good presales matter!

The only two states that were annexed are Texas and Hawaii. Most other territory of today's states was purchased although some of it was ceded to the US, particularly much of the Southwest was ceded to the US by Mexico as a result of the Mexican-American war of the 1840s. (This doesn't include Puerto Rico and a number of unincorporated territories which were a mix of annexed and purchased.)
What's the reason that we shouldn't have 60 FPS in movies?
I'm not sure what you mean. HAProxy has always been a layer 4/7 load balancer and has indeed never been a web server.

NGINX historically was a web server (an excellent one) which has evolved towards proxying and a bit of load balancing. But in terms of LB features it lacks a lot, just like you wouldn't try to cross-dress haproxy into a web server in any way. It's true that for many quite simple setups nginx is often enough and saves the admin from having to learn another tool. But when you start to handle tens of thousands of domains, need to perform DDoS protection, handle thousands of servers, perform inter-DC state synchronization , stream tens of Gbps of traffic, or perform advanced actions on health check status change, it's not well suited aanymore. It's still the best web server I know, and many hosting infrastructures combine haproxy+varnish+nginx together, taking the best of each and deliver unrivaled quality of service. The beauty here is that these 3 best components in their respective categories are all free to use so there's no reason to have to choose between one or the other, just use all 3 and be happy!

Did you try it? ripgrep supports UTF-16 just fine. It even supports it automatically and transparently, via BOM detection. If there's no BOM, then you must specify the encoding explicitly.
> It's a matter of perspective.

That's my point too - their perspective is lock-in. Not just in graphics APIs but in many things. So this issue falls into the common picture with many other similar ones.

I.e. Apple could easily implement it. They don't for political reasons, and I don't buy any lame excuses like "that's better for developers" and such.
So I don’t have a copy of Campbell’s underhand, but a quick google search for its table of contents brought up the ToC for 7e.

> What does it gain them?

This law almost certainly violates the charter IMO (except for the notwithstanding clause) because of freedom of religion and expression. What it gains them is the ability to pass this law without it being overturned. I'd say it's completely in character for Quebec to pass a law like this with no ulterior motives except what's on the box - preventing civil servants from wearing religious symbols.

Even if you think it almost certainly doesn't violate the charter, it gains them the ability to pass this law without wasting tons of money on lawsuits, and having people who object to it also waste tons of money on lawsuits.

Imagine if China had developed digital computers first and had to map their writing to n-ary. It would not be extensions of ASCII upon which we still rely. Imagine instead an algebra of notation based on composition of analogies. Which is why English is not entirely unusual as a Lingua Franca.

English is easy to learn, incorporates a smorgasbord of techniques from other languages, has a rich literature (there has to be more than one good reason to learn a language) and so has ample comparatives. It uses an alphabet, has a lot of law, and is subject to no central authority.

English is a committee of language camels trekking through our desert of ignorance. Kinda like C++

Because the GPU ecosystem has historically been fractured. Vulkan looks like it has the potential to finally end that, but Apple has a walled garden and doesn't seem to be on board.

But I agree, such things aren't all that relevant to the article being discussed here.
If Quebec wants to ban "religious symbols" for its govt. employees, then they must affirmatively put forth a strict "this is what _everyone_ must wear" uniform similar to grade school/military codes. I personally wouldn't have a problem with that, but I wonder if that could pass through the political process (hence this backdoor bill shenanigans I suppose).

HAProxy allows easier proxying of WebSockets (without having to know all the WebSocket URLs). It also allows proxying TCP traffic without much hassle (in nginx you have to compile/enable stream module - at least in default Ubuntu package). Until long nginx did not allow proxying HTTP requests without caching request body which may be undesired behaviour if you are uploading big files and want the backend to start processing the body as soon as possible.

I'm not sure I believe this paragraph:

> I’ve worked on many multinational collaborations, and I notice that European researchers often speak to each other in their native languages. However, it’s relatively uncommon to see Chinese or South Korean scientists talking to each other in their own language in an academic setting away from their home country. They just don’t feel comfortable.

In my experience, Chinese are one of the most likely to form little cliques with their compatriots when abroad (and speak their own language while at it). They're not the only ones to do so, but they definitely seem to do it more than average.

As a Canadian, my perceptions of freedom of expression in Australia were probably first set by seeing Australians on gaming forums asking foreigners to buy them copies of Left4Dead. It was rated for ages 17+ in Canada, but by Australian law, all video games had to be suitable for children—there was no adult rating. So, the Australian release was censored.

It's a relatively minor thing, but when I was playing I would occasionally think, "this is illegal in Australia? Really?" I took it as an example of how Australia's governance really is different.

We have the ability to learn multiple languages, and to work in them. In the history of science, working in multiple languages is the norm.

The idea that every piece of discourse should be in English is a modern phenomenon. It ironically has arrived just as the automated translation renders the interlinguistic literature gap irrelevant.

People should be talking about forcing English speakers to work in their non native language, not just about the woes of a single common language for science.

It is precisely at this moment that we have the ability to gain from cultural diversity without losing intelligibility. Will we go for this possibly? Probably not....
