You left off that it’s also the company that sold you music, movies and TV shows to play on your iPod and iPhone. This is perfectly consistent with that winning strategy. iPhones are now payment devices so why not sell a superior, well integrated financial service.

If the physical card trips you up, remember that Apple is not above providing you adapters. “Apple Card” is first and foremost a service and iOS-based user interface.
I have been a user of LXC and LXD since 2013. Earlier when docker was based on LXC I tried it. Then Docker went its own path and build its own libcontainer library. During that time LXC project added support for unprivileged container and since than I didn't use docker. Still today when majority of container runtime including kubernetes is based on docker container (some on OCI), I continue to use LXD and LXC.

LXD by default has been more secure given it allowed unprivileged containers very early that works very nicely. Recently when there was a security problem with Kubernetes, I was still ok given we only used unprivileged containers.

I love LXD container being lightweight compared to kubernetes and same ansible or other platform orchestration like puppet, chef can work with baremetla, VM and containers and no need to fiddle with shell scripts, Dockerfile and learning container orchestration specific domain specific language (DSL). Hopefully LXD gets more popular.

So far OpenStack, OpenNebula and Proxmox support native LXD containers besides KVM and other virtualization. For most of the small website with thousands or million users LXD itself can work pretty well without relying on any cloud orchestration platform.
"One day's work was considered half a day, and if a serf worked an entire day, this was counted as two days-works." I've been saying this for years with programming and tickets! 4 hours a day is a full days work. If you can get a 4 hour ticket done each day you are right on pace. If you can get two 4 hour tickets done in one day, that's double pace!
Those statements seem odd, as well. You can't really tell how many of either there are.
It's not widely accepted that humans are more evolved than other animals. Whether males are the hunters or not depends on the species. In lions, the males are more concerned with territory while it is the females who hunt.

The species closest to us all don't hunt. They're opportunistic omnivores.

After 10 years in DC working in political circles, I can tell you that very little is actually changing. The giant, faceless bureaucracy still runs most of the show.

If you look into many of the "unprecedented events" you'll see that most of them aren't new and some of them are decades old.

Though if the events really are bad and were ignored before, it's worth asking "why?"
Just an anecdote from quitting yesterday at a German IG-Metall company:
Yesterday I quitted my working student job in order to precipitately take the opportunity for an internship at another company.

My boss congratulated me for the offer, said it's a pity that I leave AND
spoke with HR so that I do have a shorter period of notice (otherwise I would have had problems).
All on the same day.
While accompanying me on my way out he said that especially with students, he invests in people. The doors are always open and he would be glad to see me there again.
In fact, he recommended a former student worker to join another company before graduation in order to have a better looking CV.
Im kinda blown away by this non-selfish (in a company's view) behaviour and strongly consider to rejoin at some point.
No, that's Blues
I'm surprised to hear that Apple Pay has higher adoption in Europe, given that the iPhone has lower penetration there.
> Back in the 70s, Westerners could very easily make the case that the USSR was corrupt, inefficient, hopelessly backwards

I generally agree with you but I think you got timeline wrong. Which matters in this example.

70s in communist countries was a period of relative prosperity. The political repressions ceased, the economies got more consumer oriented, the arms race slowed down, the goverments got more technocratic. Communist countries started to catch up with Western consumption levels. Mass housing developments, car factories, Coca-cola and Pepsi in shops etc.

Lot of younger generation had been happy to join the party not for ideological reasons but for the material prospects it opened.

Then two events happened - first oil crisis and the financial markets dried up suddenly (many communist countries borrowed heavily when money was cheap in eurodollar), second Afganistan, Reagan and Star Wars programme (arms race again).

Communist countries sliped from relative prosperity to austerity which resulted in fall of communism at the end of 80s.

What I am saying is that the revolutions happen often after long period of relative prosperity when economy starts going downhill. And we have similiar circumstances brewing in China right now.
The Apple credit card is simply an incentive to use Apple Pay. You can think of this card as Trojan horse.

Think about it: Why do you need any credit card at all? You have your phone, you can flash whatever bardcode/QR code auto generated, verified with your FaceID/TouchID. It would be ton more secure, prevent a lot of fraud and can do sophisticated things like automatic accounting, receipt keeping etc. BUT at the same time, it would dissolve the monopoly of 3 companies who are in the business of credit cards because virtually anyone can start mobile payment business this as long as POS systems were enabled for it. The widely deployed POS systems control which system of payment would become the norm. In countries where credit cards weren't the norms, mobile payments are the norms now. Other countries are left behind this revolution.
> Also, I don't know anything about this USS Seawolf

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Seawolf , presumably we're talking about the fourth (and current one). Yes, it's nuclear powered.

> IIRC the problem with them is that the pumps cooling the atomic core can't be shut down, meaning there is always detectable sound.

AFAIK current generation US and Russian (and presumably other navies operating nuclear subs too) nuclear subs can shut down the primary coolant pumps and rely on convection at low power. As long as they're cruising along at low speed they can be very quiet.
This makes the most sense to me.
The one we'd have if we implemented a comprehensive "digital consumer rights" law. First Sale Doctrine applying universally to all purchases and licenses, so that all platforms such as the Apple app store, Play store, and Steam would be required to allow users to sell or give purchases to one another. Unlockable bootloaders and rootability for all mobile devices. Granular control of software updates.

Hardware and software such as games that depend on third-party online servers to carry a "guaranteed supported until" date, with failure to adhere to that guarantee resulting in refunds. The immunity from prosecution of anyone who creates their own support/multiplayer servers for any platform or game that goes unsupported by its owners for a cumulative period exceeding 90 days.

> called to a halt for breakfast, lunch, the customary afternoon nap, and dinner. Depending on time and place, there were also midmorning and midafternoon refreshment breaks.

They didn't exactly have a choice with the food. It's needed if you genuinely spend a hard day working. People used to make drinks for laborers containing things like molasses here in the US.

I admit we've lost the afternoon nap, but I'm not sure why. It does happen elsewhere. The China office at previous job worked long hours and all napped at their desks in the afternoon.

After becoming father I experienced biggest weight loss ever. I went from 260 lbs to 200 lbs. During the months not being chained to a table with computer I was living healthy life. Lots of time outside with stroller or baby carrier, healthy food for baby and me. Few years later I am at 220 lbs again.
On one of my early shifts driving taxi, I dropped two young men off at a club. The bouncer opened the cab's door and before I realized what was happening, I had a rather intoxicated young woman to deal with. She knew her address, and paid her fare when we got to her complex. But she was too wasted to get from the cab to her apartment.

"[...] I held on to her as we headed in the direction she indicated. She was in no shape to climb the stairs to her apartment either, and also could not put the key in the lock.

"There was a look of appreciation in her eyes, then the door closed. I heard the door lock, and as I walked away I heard a 'thunk', just like a body hitting the floor. Hopefully she made it through the night." [1]

Women have strategies for dealing with horny men in whom they aren't interested. The article doesn't say if alcohol is a factor in these lawsuits. Controlling one's alcohol intake a basic requirement for being aware enough to avoid bad situations, like if a driver parks and follows you to your door, even though you don't actually need their assistance.

Drivers deal with drunk female passengers all the time. Drivers with integrity stick to their job.

Someone complained about me once - she told the taxi company that I was hitting on her daughter. I posted about that in a previous comment, on "103 Uber drivers accused of sexual assault or abuse": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16963843

"There are certainly women who have problems with their drivers, but slander is a problem for the drivers too." (my conclusion in comment linked above)
But it is not an application delivery format which is the whole point here.
> Annedoctally as a recent father of a 6 month old, I would likely self report a good sleep quality in a questionnaire. However, objectively I know I sleep about 5 hours 30min yesterday evening, which would be sufficient sleep 'deprivation' to impact T production.

When our 9 month old started to sleep through the night (at around 4-5 months), we'd get between 5-6 hours of sleep, which after the interrupted sleep of the previous 4 months, felt like a full night's sleep but this is sleep deprivation territory, specially given the fact that it was 7 days a week.

I know I could only survive on this little sleep because I wasn't exercising.

> Also I think parents in general will also have strong bias to not want to acknowledge their own child as a 'nuissance' in a survey/questionnaire.

I think this is one of the biggest taboos in Western society:

Anything about a newborn/small child must be 100% positive

This is absolute bullshit

I can see the downsides of having a child without loving him (in my case) any less
Interesting article.

1. It doesn't mention obvious potential causes to brain changes and hormone levels that coincide with having children like lack of sleep, changes to diet, or adjustments to work patterns etc.

2. It says towards the end that I should continue to wrestle the boys. Great!

No, you are mistaken. Having the card does not give you instant buddy pass. Upon approval you gain 40,000 miles which is a huge bump and minimum spend helps you reach the required miles to apply for preferred and the buddy pass which expires annually / end of dec 31st so you see people churn it right in December so benefits apply/start in January and have a year of access.

> Think about it: Why do you need any credit card at all? You have your phone,

One's phone could be dead, or near 0-percent battery. The trend is for people to forego annual upgrades (phone lifespans are increasing), but those phones are also not getting maintenance -- so the battery performance is degraded. A phone with a degraded battery might barely pull through a day, if you remember to charge it the previous evening.

CLR supports C++ since version 1.0.

In fact it had two versions of it, Managed C++ released in version 1.0, replaced by C++/CLI with version 2.0.

JVM has support for C-style linear memory model on its unsafe interfaces (the non-public ones), and is being improved via Graal (which understands LLVM bitcode) and Projects Panama/Valhalla.
Referencing my copy of designing-data intensive applications[0], here are some approaches mentioned:

1) The naive approach is to assign all writes to a chunk randomly. This makes reads a lot more expensive as now a read for a particular key (e.g. device) will have to touch every chunk.

2) If you know a particular key is hot, you can spread writes for that particular key to random chunks. You need some extra bookeeping to keep track of which keys you are doing this for.

3) Splitting hot chunks into smaller chunks. You will wind up with varying sized chunks, but each chunk will now have a roughly equal write volume.

One more approach I would like to add is rate-limiting. If the reads or writes for a particular key crosses some threshold, you can drop any additional operations. Of course this is only fine if you are ok with having operations to hot keys often fail.

Been there. Complained about this very thing on HN, and got shot down. Apparently, individually plastic-wrapped fruits exist because of people with motor disabilities.

I accept that, and I understand that under our economy, it's better (cheaper) for people with such aliments that these fruits are just another item in grocery stores, and not specialty item in special stores (which would be sold for a much higher price). Still, I can't shake the feeling that this is wrong, there must be a better way of supporting people with motor problems than carpet-bombing shops with environmentally absurd individually packaged fruits, and exposing those to regular people without motor problems, some of which will start buying (and thus creating demand) out of convenience or false perception of quality...
Apple Pay is an extremely characteristic product. Apple also likes to own user experiences end to end. Owning the credit card account means it owns the Apple Pay experience more thoroughly. They would prefer not to offer a physical card at all, but mobile payments acceptance isn't high enough yet.
I think there is absolutely no need every adult person needs to work 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. We might just as well work 4 hours a day or 3 days a week. It seems to me, this is just a matter of how the market pressures people to spend as much time as possible at work vs how much work most people can tolerate.

How do I know? There are countries where it is normal that both parents work to provide for their household and there are countries when it is mostly male parent that does the same with same effect. Yet, there is not much difference in their capability to provide, it seems in cases of both types of countries the system settled and regulated itself.

I can measure my output quite effectively and could, if allowed by my boss, adjust my hours to ensure some constant level

So since most banks support Apple Pay (and Google Pay), pretty much everybody who is comfortable with technology uses it.
LuaJIT is incredibly fast. It might just be the fastest scripting language out there.

I think this was only possible because Lua itself is such a simple language. It says a lot that LuaJIT's implementation of this simple language is extremely complex in comparison to vanilla 5.1. Imagine the added complexity for something like Ruby that offers more than one associative data structure.

With LOVE you get a complete game engine runtime with all the boring OS abstractions taken care of and you can just start working.

I tried a few game development bouts with Rust since it seemed like a natural step up from C++ but the compile cycle kills a lot of my creative drive.

I think this is just a consequence of the language being compiled, as with C++. With Rust having a wide variety of language features the compile time is increased also. At least we're lucky to have languages today that offer far shorter turnaround times for building prototypes.
