I thought I made this clear in my previous response. Apple is already highly competitive in processor design. The A12X matches the mid range processors from AMD and Intel. AMD does not own a fab. Apple doesn't need to own a fab either.

It turns out they are going ahead with this plan already

You and the author are talking about the exact same pervasive sexism from opposite perspectives.
I love their approach, but it is still PGP based. Moreover, it is a bit too centralized.

Thing is, a non-centralized system is really hard to monetize. There might be space for some long-form (as opposed to whatsapp, etc) encrypted messaging. But a solution for portable encrypted files (using either symmetric or asymmetric crypto) is hard to monetize.

Note that, while portable encrypted files could be used for encrypted messaging, the use cases and ergonomics are sufficiently different that a good solution for one will not be a great fit for the other.
Might be your system file settings. Mine opened up in VSCode, talking of which, don't forget that VSCode also opened a JSON file long before they added the settings interface.

I couldn't find documentation for settings either so don't fully know what's capable but they do seem limited for now.

I think we (the tech and business community) need to face the uncomfortable reality: that the world needs us to be better citizens more than it needs us to be genius entrepreneurs.

If everyone on this site simply 1) exercised their right to vote fully, 2) invested enough research time to make sure their vote helps fight global heating, in even a tiny way, and 3) made one change per month, no matter how small, in their individual routine in a way that diminishes their contribution to global heating...

... That would contribute more to saving the world than all our “world-saving” startups combined.

But that would require admitting that we’re not as special as we think we are, which is hard.
Microkernels are slower than a monolithic kernel like Linux,

Twenty years ago I might have agreed with the basic premise but argued the a properly designed system with a fast zero copy IPC mechanism was worth the small cost.

OTOH, Linux has become massively bloated as it attempts to fit into every nook and cranny. Optimizations that work in one environment simply don't make sense in others. Beyond that computing hardware has changed in 20 years. These days having a bunch of cores is normal, along with scattering them everywhere to manage power/clock or dedicate them for IO is common.

Further a very large number of the highest performing applications are utilizing some kind of kernel bypass. The "standardization" of DPDK despite its shortcomings has brought hundreds of applications out of dark and pointed out the folly of trying to fit everything into a posix view of the world.
The man launched the Macbook Air with ONE port. He had to be convinced that it needed 2 ports.
Bravo! You should be super proud! On a 9600 baud terminal, a whole line is 77 milliseconds, so it's going to feel a bit slow even if you only redraw half the line, and at 2400 baud it would be painful. Insert-character escape sequences are going to make a big difference.

I’m no expert, but I think the Kaypro doesn't have a real serial port between the terminal and the computer the way a lot of CP/M machines did (Altair and IMSAI usually, H-8 and H-88 and H-89 always, while the Osborne used a memory-mapped screen like the Apple). I don't know how fast it can repaint the screen.

I don't think firing the loud solenoids on the floppy drive and waiting a second or two every time you delete something (or (p)ut it) is going to be a good user experience; the yank buffer probably needs to be in RAM to be usable. You could maybe prompt the user whether to discard the deletion if the text being deleted is over a threshold of size.
>because when he was here he was always attentive.

That doesn't sounds like the author. Kids will understand if a parent is away because they are working to make their (i.e. the kid's) life better. My father worked long hours, sometimes multiple jobs, all his life for little money, as did my mother. Even though they weren't around for some of my recitals or Christmas pageants, I respect them both that much more because I knew why they were doing it ... even as a kid. Kids aren't stupid though. If the parent is absent for selfish reasons, in order to fulfil their life and their goals, it will lead to bitterness and resentment. It will.
You appear to be operating under the assumption that reports about this do not constitute a PSYOPS operation against the American public.

Contraception is pretty damn effective, and people often have children for entirely selfish reasons.

Edit: When my employer tried to retrospectively claim ownership of side projects through a change of policy I got the wording changed to concern work projects or projects during work time. I doubt the original wording would have been enforceable in my jurisdiction, though.
Yes. I used to point that out to visitors from other states who wanted to create "Silicon Austin" or something. Their state won't have the guts to ban noncompetes, so they're doomed to lose.
That would be done in the shell, not the terminal.
Wsl-System-Calls [2016]
Hippocrates is said to have claimed that "all disease starts in the gut". There's been some very interesting research coming out the last few years that seem to tie autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis [1] [2] to the gut.

It's been known for a while that some gut disorders, including Crohn's, can manifest as skin lesions of various kinds, and bowel bypass patients can also develop skin symptoms. It's also known for a while that autoimmune patients have less bacterial diversity in their gut, and an increased abundance of certain types of bacteria, especially in the small intestine. Research has found that in such patients, gut bacteria can migrate from the gut to the bloodstream and then to the skin. Psoriasis patients, for example, have a much higher gut permeability than non-psoriatics (not to be confused with the pseudoscientific Internet hysteria around "leaky gut"!) and have deficient bile acids.

Treatment would involve resetting the gut somewhat by eradicating the known pathogens. Astonishingly, a Hungarian study in 2003 [3], which used an experimental treatment with bile acid supplementation, was able to completely clear psoriasis in 78% of its subjects (even more in a second, more acute group), which is unheard of, and about 58% were still clear 2 years later. I don't know why that study hasn't revolutionized things; it's only been cited 11 times according to Scopus.com.

From what I understand, the best course of action recommended by scientists a long time ago was:

- Step one: _stop_ polluting (in like 1995).

- Step two: Work out ways to get the genie back into the bottle or co2 back into the ground.

It seems like we forgot to enact step 1 and now step 2 will pretty much be pointless because we are still spewing out co2 faster than ever.

If we're too survive we need to do both steps as of yesterday, unfortunately I don't think there are very efficient says to sequester enough carbon yet, so I think we might be in some trouble.
OT: I've noticed that my local Walmart has the GE bulbs. They are over in the lighting section, out on the shelves with the non-smart bulbs. If you want them, you just toss them in your cart and go pay for them at the regular checkout.

They also have smart bulbs by Philips, TP-Link/Kasa, and Merkury Innovations--and all of these are in a locked display over in the electronics section. If you want them, you have to find an employee in electronics to unlock the display and grab them for you, and then you have to pay for them at the checkout in electronics. They won't let you just toss them in your cart and pay at the regular checkout.

Finally, they also have some Monster smart light products, which are in the electronics section, but not in a locked display, so you can buy them without assistance.

I have not been able to figure out any good reason for the different smart bulbs to be in different sections like this, or for some to be locked up and some not.
I get your point. It’s a good one. What about the fact that Americans are essentially subsidizing world health care via private R&D? Other countries benefit from our new drugs yet won’t pay market prices for them, and it’s $2 billion to create a new drug these days, minimum. The reason a huge majority of pharma innovation happens here is because there is an incentive for it. Honest question: if we further regulate the amount of money pharma companies can make, who will innovate?

Documenting requests' format and their return values is documentation and doesn't require an interactive site that looks totally real and makes you expect a real (rather than a dummy) answer. Which is not to say it's impossible, but it would be weird/unlikely. Usually when there is an example api request in documentation, it's a real (live) request, too, and this isn't even a documentation page.
From the article: "Postgres is the currently fourth most widely-used database system, according to the DB-Engines Ranking."

If popularity is measured by presence on computational devices, SQLite is easily the most widely-used DB. No contest.
I am sure a fascist can hide in plain sight. But my currently unanswered question is how can you measure that? Is there any objective data here, or are we talking about our subjective perceptions of society?
You don't think having a stable driver ABI is game changing?

Have you seen the nightmare that is building monolithic pile of crap using lineageOS/etc every-time it gets an update? Even googles own devices (hammerhead/etc) have been known for having binary blobs that have to be extracted and custom wrapped to get them working with the latest versions.
> One strange Lisp variant is Mathematica

I wouldn't call Mathematica a Lisp, given that it is a runtime rewrite system and not based on a defined evaluator (which also makes Lisp relatively easy to compile and also compilable to relatively efficient code).

> That way you could define both a macro and function version of a symbol if they both make sense.

There is a variant of that in CL called 'compiler macro'.

> The utility of two namespaces seems to be than when Lisps were dynamically scoped

One still has the same problems with global symbols in Scheme.

(define (foo list) (list list))

Here the parameter variable LIST shadows the global function LIST.
I think that's a very suspect use of "natural". Of course, many uses of "natural" are suspect, in that people smuggle all sorts of their personal prejudices into it. E.g., the way a number the Civil War declarations of secession mentioned how it was natural that whites should rule over blacks. Or the way today that religious conservatives think that the natural order is the dominance of men over women, and that gay people are unnatural.

Even in this case though, I don't think it means anything more than "we were so used to using our monopoly power to steamroll everybody that we expected to keep on doing that". Microsoft only ever dominated the personal desktop computer OS market. They were a minority player in server OSes their whole existence, losing first to big iron and later to Linux. The handheld market went from being owned by companies like Palm to Apple and Google dominating. I know less about the embedded market, but Microsoft has been trying to own that for 20 years, and I don't think they've ever had a dominant position. I think even their desktop OS dominance was less to do with Windows being an amazing operating system and more to do with it being the thing that ran Word, Excel, and other popular business software.

So I think tsunamifury is right. Gates got so comfortable winning he saw it as "natural", rather than a combination of luck and their willingness to be an aggressive monopolist in a newfangled industry and during a period where antitrust enforcement was falling out of vogue.

> Would that incentivize people?

No, because, much like the "water crisis" in California, individuals didn't make the direct choices the led to the crisis. Shipping your food from half a world away was not a direct choice any consumer made. Making your clothing half a world away was not a direct choice any consumer made. Building all infrastructure around cars was not a direct choice any consumer made.

If you want to reduce CO2, you have to do something to bake it's price into wherever it is being used or created.

(The "water crisis" in California is actually an "agribusiness water crisis"--if every individual in California quit using water for drinking, showers, lawn watering, swimming pools, etc., the Central Valley agribusinesses would still be unable to irrigate without pumping out the aquifers. The only solution to the California "water crisis" is to shut down the agribusinesses and make them move to somewhere with water. We are actually seeing this with desalinization in California--desalinization can actually supply almost all the people but isn't going to do anything for businesses.)

This reminds me of a day at Asymetrix - a startup founded by Mr Allen. Somehow we got a very early incarnation of Mosaic and I remember showing everyone how to bounce over to each lab with just a click and what authoring in HTML meant. Asymetrix's main product at the time was Toolbook, essentially a Hypercard clone -- but this was obviously the future. Paul's reaction was muted but I think he knew "This is happening without us!"

The impact is that you inspire others, which makes political change possible in the long run.

That probably includes companies that are U.S.-owned with overseas fabs. I don't think I'd count that as U.S. production if thinking about jobs or subversion. Corroborated by something in the report which corroborates many of the fabs mostly being outside the U.S.:

"Over 90 percent of global semiconductor manufacturing equipment sales outside the United States take place in five markets: China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea (South) and the EU, creating a very concentrated market. "

Please see the sibling comments (that were there before yours) where this is already being discussed, before being insulting.
>You are just stating it. Without any reason. One can't argue against a statement, you have to provide reasons behind your statement for there to be an argument.

Not really - he already gave both. The argument is the already stated one "Emacs is not the solution to the problem of people coming to Lisp needing a good programming environment". And the reasons are what he wrote above: "because there are millions of developers that won't use it".

Now you might agree or not with the latter (I for one am in the category that wont bother to use Emacs), but it's a full argument.

>I've never heard people say 'it is unreasonable to ask people to use Android Studio to develop for Android'

People still say that, but that's beside the point.

Android Studio is a typical modern IDE, so not much of a barrier to entry. Emacs are much more arcane and idiosyncratic (and doubly so outside the Unix world, e.g. for the huge majority of Windows and OSX based devs).

Yes, I worry about that too. But I also worry about the opposite: reinforcing the cynical idea that it’s all pointless anyway, so why bother doing anything.

The way I see it, someone who makes the effort to switch to reusable cups is very likely willing to make another effort. They might just need you to point you in the right direction. For example, the issue of why we make so many non-reusable cups in the first place, where they come from, who has the power to stop them but doesn’t, and how they can be held accountable. Just a suggestion of course! :-)

If you have children and then choose to work over doing the legitimately full time job of being a parent (full time being at least 40 hours a week, not that you can't do anything else ever) you need to provide them at least a parent to do that job or else you are neglecting them.

Psychology is pretty uniform in the observation that children need parents, preferably both, but just one is a massive developmental influence. There are minor benefits from they/them being biological but it isn't absolutely necessary, but a care worker, teacher, etc is not filling the same social niche with a child that a parent is. Its a job title in its own right that also has by far the most impact on developing functioning healthy human beings than any other. Its also a job you don't just quit or substitute for without lasting consequences, the role of a parent is to anchor children and provide an immovable stake upon their foundation.

You can absolutely hire a parent if you don't want to or have the time yourself to parent the children you make, but it is substantively harmful to deny them having parent(s) when they need them. If a mother wants to work a full time job while a spouse or even just long term domestic partner? wants to take on the job of being a (or more) parent(s) that works. If a father wants to do the same, that works. But kids still need parent(s), preferably two, and that is two full time positions to fill.

One quandary to think on is that society really doesn't organize or optimize for parental efficiency. We organize schools to lecture and teach to try to balance between quantity of children to a quality of education, but adults are just en masse making new lives and mostly playing it by ear on fulfilling parental responsibilities. We haven't tried to promote good parents to be parents by getting them more children - biological or not - to parent. As a civilization it feels backwards to me how what might be the most important job there is - developing future generations - is the one that is the least recognized for its value and importance. It isn't a career, it isn't prestigious, it isn't treated with the same scrutiny you would want to see in getting your plumbing fixed. But broken pipes are a much less substantive issue than mental malaise or physiological complications brought about by poor or absent parenting in the development of the billions to succeed us.
You are absolutely correct. I went through exactly this when a large valley tech company bought the startup I founded and I joined the company as part of the deal. My lawyer explained it as "For regular employees these aren't enforceable but you're when you get millions of dollars personally, this is part of what they get in return." Seemed fair enough and we also negotiated the wording to be pretty specific. Basically, I couldn't go make another version of the products they purchased from me as part of the acquisition. However, if I wanted to quit and compete against any of their other pre-existing products I could (even though I wouldn't want to anyway).

Same here. My dad was military when I was young and during my teenage years had another job that took him away from home for about half of the month.

I wouldn't ever disparage him for it. He provided well for his family, and most of my favorite childhood memories are the times we spent together. To this day, I try to spend as much time with him as possible while I still can.

I can only hope that I give my kids as much of myself as he did.
Are there good reasons to think that the rate at which oil is extracted and burned is independent of consumer demand? It's not far-fetched, but it would be surprising.
