Agree with you 100%. On a related note, it strikes me as wrong that so much of the discourse about Linux revolves around its suitability for general consumer desktop use.

People always talk about “the year of the Linux desktop” (and not always ironically!) but honestly, whether a random person can play 4k Netflix on their Linux laptop is like 0.1% of why Linux matters in the world.

The heterodyne effect comes from multiplication of signals. But you really just need to pass their superposition through a nonlinearity, because the Taylor series expansion will typically have an early term with the multiplication of the two signals' frequencies with a high coefficient. Of course, you'll have lot of artifacts from all the other terms of the expansion, but you can use a bandpass filter to drop all the unwanted terms.

Or so I think I remember. It's been a while.
My personal MBP wishlist:

* the new keyboard (2015 style or better)

* no touchbar (F keys, please)

* magsafe (with cables wrapped in something stronger than a tortilla)

* battery capacity that maxes out the FAA limit

* serious graphics (as an option)

* better screen coating that doesn’t flake off or scratch easily

* an even darker gray / charcoal color option

* finally... no fingerprint reader (they’re useful, but I’d rather have the added cost spent elsewhere and keep the surface clean - it takes me less than 3 seconds to type my 30 char password, unlike phones where this would be impossible)

———

If Apple can deliver on all the points above, I will spend $3k. If not, I’ll just continue until my 2011 and 2015 MBPs are dead and then move onto something else (some linux notebook). I’ve been waiting for 2 years to upgrade.

"The naive solution is obviously to run $NCPU+1 tests in parallel. But there is a catch, some of the tests utilize global system resources or state and running two such tests in parallel would lead to false negatives."

I was in a cycling crash earlier this year while wearing a new (2 week old) MIPS helmet. The helmet (with my head in it) hit the road pretty hard causing an indentation and deep scratches. The location of the indentation leads me to believe that the initial impact 'stuck' to the asphalt then slid as the coefficient of friction was quickly surpassed. I had absolutely no injuries to my head or neck (with that could be said about my elbow, which I apparently landed on full-force). I have since replaced that helmet with another MIPs one, but I haven't heard of the Wavecell helmets until now. I'll have to consider those the next time I'm shopping around for a new helmet, hopefully this time it'll be after the current one has 'expired' naturally.

Unless you have one of those textile covered urban fashion helmets which do not slide on asphalt and also risk breaking intervertebral disks or neck bones.
The whole point of being vegetarian is to not eat meat. That in no way is analogous to Linux and cloud stuff.

The F# comment was the only thing I think that was out of place. It posed a definite non public position on a product.

But you clarified it after the fact so minimized any damage.

Microsoft will likely not care about it, but it is the kind of thing to be mindful of.

Most of the big tech companies will have some kind of training explicitly calling out off the cuff comments and how to be mindful of them.

It blows my mind that there isn't an easily Googable example of how to pipe JSON logs on disk to logstash. It's 2019. The software should be able to come online, check what logs it has already indexed, and then `tail -f` files matching a pattern. I really thought this was a more common use case but it's obvious things went the "directly log to socket" route you mentioned.
This is garbage. Essentially slaves? Health, education, access to consumer goods, percentage urban, all of these have been rising pretty much non stop since the 80's. I live in Shanghai and have for seven years. There are plenty of people here living in less than ideal conditions, like in the apartment on the first floor of my block where people are sleeping six to a room but it beats being a peasant easily. Subsistence farming sucks. Urbanisation is a decent measure of increases in the standard of living here because even the worst city has many more opportunities than the countryside.

One of the big convenience store chains here, FamilyMart, the workers have 7 day a week, 15 hour day shifts. I've seen some employees in the same FamilyMart for years. They stay because it's better than what they'd be able to get at home. They work vastly more hours than the middle class do, mostly, but they're earning about the same per week as kindergarten teachers here do, with their degree and much better job, about 8,000 yuan a month. You know what the annual income is in the countryside? 10,000 to 20,000 in Anhui, maybe four hours travel from Shanghai. People work these terrible jobs because they're used to working harder, for less money. Subsistence farming is an awful way to earn a living and people get the hell out as soon as they can, in China now and for the past thirty years just like in the UK during the industrial revolution. People left the countryside to work in the dark satanic mills because the countryside was worse. People choose to work in FamilyMart when there are other convenience store chains with shorter shifts and days off so they can save money so they can do things like buy a house, same as offshore oil rig workers or sailors spend months away from their family.

People make choices, in circumstances you or I would never wish on anyone but they're free to make those choices. They're not slaves.
The pre-chiclet keyboards were okay for their era but the <=2015 chiclet design is just so much more comfortable because of the lack of sharp edges and does a much better job at keeping dust out than the old open design.
It's nice that, with the ISA being open, now IBM won't need to compete with commodity chip maker pressures and niche providers can make directly compatible chips on a regular schedule which suits their niches best.

As for the number of cores, memory bandwidth needs to keep those cores fed and now we're just seeing real memory bandwidth improvements - the number of cores and threads is expected to increase commensurately with that in the next revisions of the micro-architecture.

> The moment Apple switched over to Intel , PPC became irrelevant

In a good year, Apple sold about 3 million PowerPC Macs. Sony and Microsoft sold about 80 million PS3s and Xbox 360s each. I think one could make the case that those Macs were of questionable relevance to begin with... (yes I know they used G5 Macs for dev machines)
> If the helmet wasn't damaged in the crash it meant the energy was harmlessly transferred into your head.

Foam can and does distribute and absorb shock without being significantly damaged or destroyed in less severe collisions, crashes that can still put you in the hospital without a helmet.

I would maybe describe how helmets work as having a shock-absorbing cushion that slows deceleration of it’s contents. Talking about “energy” is bound to be misleading or confusing, since from a given speed, you always transfer the same amount of energy no matter how you stop, whether it’s a sudden strike against concrete or a slow gentle braking, or even waiting several minutes for air and tire friction to wear out all your kinetic energy.

I don’t want the helmet to be damaged or destroyed only because that means the crash is bad or severe.

That's an interesting thought. I can see that and I'd be for it.

I believe I have seen pictures of Hong Kong protesters waving American flags, so would imagine many might accept the idea. The flag caught my attention especially after I was shown pictures of protestors from Portland, Oregon waving Soviet flags. That contrast is just mind-boggling to me, especially growing up hearing stories about families who were sent to Siberian labor camps by the Soviet government and never to be seen again.
This risk is generally exaggerated. Every once in awhile someone is fined for using a VPN or circumvention tool. Even that is rare, however, and the consequences are relatively benign.

The practice is also so common that it would likely be impractical to make the penalty more severe.
> and don't ride on streets with cars.

On the right track, but even moreso of a factor is the personal relations in one's life. A kid straight out of school being told constantly to "go get a job" has trouble trying new things and getting a startup going. They end up trying to please these other naysayers and at the same time trying to pursue their dreams, thereby splitting their efforts and cutting their productivity of both in half, resulting in fewer successes over a longer period of time, further demoralizing them.

I went to a state school and went CS, though I had several friends in ECE (electrical and computer engineering). The difference between the classes we took is largely summed up in:

* They took more math and physics than I did.

* They had fewer CS electives than I had.

* I had more 'breadth requirements' outside of of the core major than they did

* They had to maintain a much higher GPA to remain in the engineering college

* They had classes that involved a soldering iron and hours spent in front of mentor graphics (to the point it was nicknamed 'tormentor graphics')

The EE/ECE curriculum may have changed since then. It probably has. However, (at least at my alma mater) the engineering college is still as selective as always while the CS department unanimously voted that they won't cap enrollment (and instead figure out how to get larger lecture halls and more sections as needed).
According to benchmarks Power fell quite behind it's competitors. I wonder if this will change anything in the future.

Most of the performance issues are not NTFS so much as the prevalence of file-system filter drivers. This is why WSL had so many file-system performance issues despite the fact that it was using a custom FS. IIRC this also motivated the move to WSL2 from what I read, since a virtual machine can use a small set of files to store a whole FS.

EDIT: See here - https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/873#issuecomment-425...
Helmets are usually worn pretty loosely, after all you don't want your jaw forced close by an overly tight helmet strap. As such you can typically move a helmet around on the top of your head, especially with say the force of a truck hitting you.

So both WaveCel and non-WaveCel helmets help absorb impacts and reduce the peak acceleration of your brain. Imparting dangerous levels of rotational acceleration seems wildly improbable. Maybe if your helmet strap got caught on the trucks lugnuts? Even then the MIPS or WaveCel would absorb maybe 30 degrees of rotation?

I'm actually curious if you still have a working WaveCel. If you try to rotate your helmet for a normal helmet how much extra rotation do you get? Is it damped as you rotate, or rotating freely within the range available?

For the Wavecel to make a difference you'd need a very high traction to allow high torque which is required to reach a high peak rotational acceleration AND a very low total rotation. Even then I'd expect a normal helmet to rotate just as far.

Antanomically I just can't see it working. I've had my chin forced into my chest, landed on the wide of my head (forcing head onto the opposite shoulder), crushed the back my helmet. But generally there's not much friction between my hair and the helmet, or the helmet and the ground. So to transfer much energy requires an impact not a shear force or torque of any kind.

Can you propose an accident that would impact a sudden large torque to a normal helmet, but a low total rotation (compatible with keeping ones head attached)? Or really anything that allows a slippery layer inside the helmet to make a meaningful difference?

If WaveCel was actually better at absorbing impacts (which they show in their animation) than styrofoam I wouldn't expect them to make their helmet out of mostly styrofoam. If the WaveCel material is worse than the helmet is actually less good at absorbing impacts than a helmet of similar thickness and weight.

Seems safest to just buy the best styrofoam helmet you can buy and don't add cost, weight, and complexity to try to offset this theorized danger of peak rotational acceleration causing concussions that is somehow mitigated by Mips or WaveCel and not by a normal helmet worn normally.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the iOS sandbox also seems weaker - I've seen a few occasions in which calling undocumented functions can be all it takes to bypass protections significantly. I assume this is part of the reason Apple is so reliant on reviews.

I always feared of a blockchain-backed "narc app" similar to LinkedIn, but with a less positive outlook.

Got fired from your last job for being an asshat? Better hope your team + manager don't get together and write a permanent, decentralized, forever record on all of the things you did wrong.

Spin it to the dating app sector:

Cheated on your last 5 girlfriends rampantly? If they all submit records on it, your 6th would-be-girlfriend can look it up and save herself the heartache.

Driving like a dick in traffic? Better hope your insurance company doesn't check. Being rude in your previous apartment complex? Would-be landlord will found out.

Complaints, backed by blockchain. Kind of like the whole publicized outlook on "if you see a citizen in China wearing luxury name brand clothing but they are in debt, you should scorn them".

No way. 3x performance for 5x the cost doesn’t add up. IBM juices the data center systems metrics with their cross-selling strategy. You need to look at the deals, they give away stuff like storage or even software.

IBM was brilliant in how it rolled up the mainframe/old school Unix/AS400 business on the hardware side. But that playbook was based on big traditional companies and leveraging the base and relationships... there’s a reason that AIX essentially is the last proprietary Unix. But every EA renewal cycle Microsoft is shipping some Azure, some department is buying a SaaS platform, old school IT directors are retiring, etc. It’s a slowly dying business and has been for a long time.

Intel has its own problems, but they are a different category of problem. Even then, we have multiple suppliers, and Intels struggles ultimately help the x64 platform.
This is absurd. No way their chief of design who led dozens of successful product launches is fired for a niche complaint about a niche product. It’s not like there was some malfeasance here.

Ive has certainly lost touch with what makes good design, probably he is just burnt out, but I find it very difficult to believe he was forced out.

He never wanted to live in California in the first place. I think Apple was able to squeeze a lot of extra years out of him, but he’s had his “fuck you money” for a long time, and the work is no longer engaging enough to keep him here.

He was never particularly interested in software and that’s where Apple Design needs to focus now. The AR glasses are an interesting design problem but it’s so software heavy I doubt Ive can really stay engaged with it.

The car is probably an interesting project, but I’m sure he’s been through the complete design of several cars in the last decade, and it’s not design holding that back, it’s engineering. Self driving is required to unlock the roadmap I’m sure they’ve already mapped out.

He could probably get excited about the design-for-manufacturing problem there, but it’s an ENORMOUS problem compared to iPhone. I don’t think he has the tolerance for chaos Elon has, and which you need to build a factory of that complexity.
I browse my file system a lot with the keyboard by typing the first few letters in a file name, and if directories are sorted on the top, that means getting to a file starting with the letter "F" is way more difficult when there are also directories named with "F". It also makes things messy when you have related files and folder. E.g. how Firefox saves a website as a "page name.html" and a directory with the assets "page name files". Suddenly these aren't grouped together and copying them together means scrolling back and forth.

At least in the Finder on the Mac you can turn your preferred behavior on (it's in preferences/advanced). On Windows AFAIK there is no setting for it.

Speed is a factor. A motorcycle can easily travel 60km/h - 120km/h. A bicycle is likely to be travel at 20km/h - 40km/h. 40km/h is pretty damn fast on a bike. Maybe the enthusiast guys riding the beach in the morning get up to 60km/h but that's a pretty small percentage riders.
Rolex is an interesting example, because their value is actually based on utility, not style. People actually (used to) wear them a mile under the sea, measure oxygen with them while diving etc. You can’t trust a Timex with your life, but a Rolex you can. That establishes baseline value, like a finely crafted Japanese chef knife. My dinner won’t taste any better, but the tool I’m holding is valuable to the people who know their stuff.
