If you apply the idea that in order to work for a company that you must ethically agree with every single one of its decisions and associations consistently, you’ll end up with absolutely nowhere to work. This comment doesn’t represent a principled stance, only a case of moral outrage (and over an emoji). If you actually behaved like this, you’d get fired, and somebody else would simply ship this simple change (that really doesn’t hurt anybody anyway) without any further drama.
Those are good months for the low desert in general. Good time of the year for Death Valley. The South Rim of the Grand Canyon is also nice in December IMO although there may well be some snow and it will be chilly on the rim. (Though mostly getting late in the year for the higher canyonlands parks.)

Is it possible to get off beta cycle without "destroying" the device? iPad also shows beta 13.2 available but I stopped it from upgrading and would like to "downgrade" to regular iPadOS.
For people interested in this sort of thing, I can recommend the Nand2Tetris Courses[1] (also on Coursera).

They basically walk you through assembling and programming a full CPU from nothing but NAND-gates in a hardware description language, and in the second part even adding a compiler and higher-level language to the stack.

Maybe if all engineers quit with the first immoral request by the management, it would actually pave way for more morally ignorant engineers to replace them. We only see what has happened, not what has not happened. What if the iOS engineers do in fact have moral values and have declined some of the management's more immoral requests many times, but this particular request seemed the lesser of two devils? Maybe those engineers don't quit exactly because they want to hinder such actions by the management.
Thanks. Imho if they had one it would create a more civil environment here.

Adobe is in the present, though—Creative Cloud is completely 64 bit.

Using highly developed feminist framework and applying it to cell phones is novel, or at least I haven't seen it before. Developing solutions to problems requires understanding the problems, and putting it into a well-understood and successful framework points to solutions.

Unfortunately, feminist thought makes a lot of men uncomfortable and often ugly in their reactions. Just read the comments here.

Oddly enough that’s stuff that would have been optional in my CS program but was all mandatory for EE.
Google is doing it all the time; it's not a question of money, it's that most developers don't want to work on old stuff they had minimal input on; it's easier to motivate with "hey, let's do new stuff" instead of "hey, fix these convoluted bugs original author wasn't able/willing to".

This is an example of how NOT to disclose a company "leaking" info. Privately is always better for responsible disclosure imho.
another problem was that their "user" was actually a household, with a range of (sometimes conflicting) likes and interests - which could result in strange recommendations. They finally added profiles to fix that data problem.
> not all Venezuelan companies and individuals.

Er, given the structure of the socialist system in Venezuela, which companies or individuals can a US entity be sure are neither “owned or controlled, directly or indirectly” by the government or any instrumentality or agency thereof, including the central bank or national oil company, nor have ever acted directly or indirectly for or on behalf of any of those things?

What are the expected consequences for a private US firm applying the order too broadly? Too narrowly?
I haven't looked at the software stack but this can't compete with whatsapp/telegram/line on look.
Unless the admin has access to all the places where your public SSH key was used, and reinstate the access for you, it's not going to help.

By the same token, if the admin did not have access to all the sites and your passwords, the admin can set a new master password, but cannot restore the access to the sites.
At this point in time there is no indication that quantum computers will ever solve a useful problem. Even if there is one it's not likely to be profitable.
Worth noting that there's a decent alternative to Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign from Affinity:

Affinity is European, and thus not affected by the executive order. Also, all of their products are buy-once-own-forever.
It also shows that Stallman was right from the beginning, it's just most people didn't believe such things could happen. The very basic right, the right to run the software, can be limited in an arbitrary way.
The writing has been on the wall for 32-bit for literally over a decade and it’s not going to magically happen now just because support has been dropped.

Imagine digging up an old project, recompiling it for 64-bit, and finding out that:

1. It doesn’t compile any more, with modern tools.

2. When you get it to compile, it crashes mysteriously.

3. When you get it to run, it again crashes mysteriously when you try a 64-bit build.

Yes, there are a lot of “best practices” out there to avoid this. Any discussion of best practices is moot because people in the field have to work with actual practices and legacy code that might be full of undefined behavior, custom build systems, weird hacks, and lost tribal knowledge. And you are simply not given enough time to go through and fix it.

This is not all about the 32-to-64 bit transition, but that’s the biggest part.

Then consider the smaller shops—which might only have a couple of Apple devices altogether, and not a lot of spare developer-weeks to go through and test old plugins on new systems.
Ah that yellow peril coming out of the woodwork again.
The question itself comes off as prejudiced because you seem to imply that the wealthy should pay more than those that are not wealthy, and discarding the fact that your discriminating against those that are wealthy by doing so.

I live in West Seattle, and there are technically two - there's also a drawbridge for pedestrians/cyclists/two lanes of traffic. Both are pretty new, and work well; the Magnolia situation, on the other hand, is a lot tougher. The residents of Magnolia are also known to really fear additional connectivity (especially public transit) in part due to an unfounded fear of crime.

“Short timeline” assumes you didn’t see 64-bit coming a couple of years ago.

Not saying it isn’t work, just that “I didn’t see it coming” isn’t much of an excuse.
I'd like to see a log being kept in orbit. Like every 10 years it's rotated (FIFO, oldest comes down, new one is launched) with a large delta so that it might survive our current civilization in case of global / climate craziness.

Do you object to “moving” or “forward”? If the former, I disagree; I see new battlegrounds emerging for free software and the developers and users of free software. Many of these new battlegrounds are commercial as we voluntarily hand over our data to opaque computing platforms, some are societal as we redefine how we expect work to be done, and who we expect to do it.

If the latter, it doesn’t hurt my argument for you to pretend I never used the word forward at all, and I’m very happy for you to do so. Our common ground here is that things feel as though they are changing.

Many great leaders are as much a product of their time and circumstances as they are a reflection of their innate talents. Whether you see the world progressing or regressing you might still agree that Stallman is not necessarily effective in the current climate.
Lawyer is a weird job.
> There's no one in that project that is such a fanatic and well-known personality that they'd be able to lead it.

Ignorance of the fame and effectiveness of several people on that list says more about your awareness of the current state of the FSF and GNU than it does about those organizations.

Werner Koch led FSFE. Ian Jackson led Debian and SPI. Matt Lee is responsible for many of the FSF's major publicity campaigns. Joshua Gay put together Stallman's book. I don't volunteer any of them or have any knowledge of whether they want to run the project, but any of them easily could.
I doubt Apple leadership is unbothered by the reality of censorship that some countries impose. Unfortunately China fully embraces censorship though. There is a lot of good done by giving another billion and a half people access to a non-privacy-invading mobile OS so balancing that against bowing to censorship is a tough decision.

If you think you disagree, please discuss your reasons.

The anger towards Apple in this thread is misdirected. The US government's official stance recognizes "that there is but one China and Taiwan is part of China" and that "the United States does not support Taiwan independence"

From: https://www.state.gov/u-s-relations-with-taiwan/

Why should Apple be expected to take a political stance at odds with the official Chinese and US government policies?

Broadly, you lose customers. Narrowly, you’re fighting criminal charges for sanctions evasion.
Well most of us older devs had what could be called "Tee-Ball" for software developers. Back in the day it was generally referred to as the home computer. You had multiple kinds, that stressed different priorities - like the Commodore 64, Atari 800 series, Apple II etc. Pick your favorite.

The unifying concept was they were simple machines, with a basic feature set. Came well documented and when you turned them on they dumped you into a BASIC shell.

Everyone typed in something to the effect:

10 print "Hello"

20 goto 10

Run

No compilers, editors, linkers, deployment, security rights. Nothing. Just turn it on and type simple stuff. Screw up the machine -- just power on, power off. Bam - you get to the default stable state to try again. Get into the complexity when you are ready and willing to deal with it. Brilliant.

Kids today don't have that.
You literally need 32-bit builds of every system library & framework. That's the state of things in Mojave.

If you run `otool /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/AppKit -f` you'll see 2 slices, one for "cputype 16777223" (CPU_TYPE_X86 | CPU_ARCH_ABI64) and one for "cputype 7" (CPU_TYPE_X86).
>>The Kona sells for about $35,000 while the average Indian earns about $2,000 a year -- and the best-selling gas guzzler costs $4,000. Yet Kona’s sticker price only kicks off the conversation about why EVs aren’t gaining traction in India

Never seen such a wholesome point ;)
Have you tried Publisher? How does it compare to InDesign?
I feel the need to inject some perspective here.

Every country imposes requirements on manufacturers of devices or service providers that some person(s) might object to.

If you choose to do business in that country, you play ball, or you leave.
How you pick which ones that are tolerable enough to live with is the question -- and don't imagine that it's moral principles that define it. It's how much a company wants to stomach the loss of that business.

Saudi Arabia (and many others) prevent the installation of Whats App, etc. on phones activated there.

Israel (and the US by the way) censor imagery of certain places on the maps shown in those countries.

Japan for chrissake even forces devices to emit a camera shutter sound when a picture is taken.

And you're singling out China for censoring the Taiwan flag emoji?

How about those other cases? Where does it start / end? Are you saying engineers should quit over every one of these infringements?
That's not a useful thing to add to the conversation without the context of how much income is going to those two different groups of income earners. Some might even say it is purposefully misleading.
well that's convenient for adobe's bottom line
I've been on the beta for a while. I'm sort of surprised that they actually released with the state it is currently in. Most things work, but my CPU still spikes for no reason running some OS process or another.

Also, clicking on a dropdown box in a web browser (Safari, Chrome, or Firefox) after the computer has been asleep for a while freezes the whole computer for about 10 seconds.

Maybe it's just me, but that feels like a showstopper.

The whole 32/64 bit thing doesn't seem too bad, although I've had to use Pages instead of Word and can't use Adobe products anymore and have had to switch to open source alternatives, but I don't use those products very much so it wasn't a huge deal for me.
No one has said anything like that. Not even the more "media-savy" startups. Everyone is talking about how on very specific problems you will get some sort of time or energy advantage.
Ask HN: How does your company A/B test, and roll out new features?
I am approaching a point where I need to test out features safely. I want to know what tools/methodologies exists for rolling out new features and interfaces.

Do you just randomly push 50% of traffic to new features, or is there some sort of routing gradient function that pushes more and more users to a new feature as confidence grows in it?

I was thinking it would be nice to have an experimental web server behind a load balancer, and to slowly push more and more traffic to the server with the new feature before letting all users see it.
> I'm not sure the average American benefited as directly to the atrocites of the past.

This is a joke right?
That's exactly right. Governments enforce their power through force and major corporations through money. Not groups that deserve any respect or their stance be taking seriously.
Oh, it is because they are 'Chinese' by look so they can't possibly be trusted with precious western political sensibilities.

I’ve heard a few people now assert that they “would have” contributed to open source if it wasn’t for RMS/Linus/whoever but none of them appear to have contributed to any open source not managed by those guys, or have any independent projects on GitHub, or even be employed as professional programmers.
Exactly what Minneapolis is seeing right now with it's 2040 plan that requires upzoning basically everything to allow at least duplexes in interior neighborhoods, and more dense allow corridor routes, etc. The main arguments are "It will destroy the character of our neighborhoods", "It's just a boondoggle for developers", and "The current infrastructure can't handle the increased density". Really it's people who have their comfortable little neighborhoods and don't want those filthy renters coming in.
That was my thinking as well, though taking a peek at the actual code suggests that there's a pretty deep expectation that the client is speaking strings, e.g. in code that handles the ZRANGE command[1] I see

if (c->argc == 5 && !strcasecmp(c->argv[4]->ptr,"withscores"))

and a quick grep suggests that's a common pattern

% grep argv src/*.c | grep -c -e 'str\(case\)*cmp'
482

I guess this means someone would have to tackle creating an intermediate binary format first, rewriting the command handlers to expect that format, and then making client libraries that can produce the format. Perhaps still worth it in the end, but not trivial.

Congratulations on the good fortune, but I’m afraid your ability to get another job instantly is not shared by the vast majority of practicing software engineers, particularly visa holders. Even in these top companies, there is a relatively small number of developers who actually have this power!
>but most data data scientists' day-to-day consists of chaining together libraries and building nice dashboards.

This - though I'd add that data science is also about statistical intuition, knowing what questions to ask of the data and how to get sensible results. It's not essential to understand that PCA involves finding the eigenvectors of the covariance matrix, but it is essential to know when PCA would be useful, and common gotchas that might make it irrelevant.
Er, what? The harasser is aggressive and bitter? They harass people in real life? It sounds like they have some problems. Maybe they can go work on themselves and come back to the community when they're ready to be civil.

We wouldn't tolerate sexual harassment, etc., in the workplace or in civil society. I don't see why we wouldn't expect a basic level of decorum in respectable online communities.

I "caused" Rockbox, being the original firmware developer for the Archos Jukebox 6000. apparently the firmware I wrote was so bad around playlist handling and our CEO unwilling to open source the code so that the boys and girls wrote their own.

Yeah, wouldn't that be a breath of fresh air. I think "humility" is the key word. It's rare the person who goes into a discussion with an open mind not thinking they are so smart they know the right side of every subject before they even explore it in depth. How refreshing would it be for a politician (our supposed leaders) to be intellectually honest versus just taking a side that leads to greater power for their party.

>>>The US refuses to see China as a strategic threat

Huh? The new Commandant of the Marine Corps has flat-out said it.[1] And he's not the first in the Pentagon to take China seriously.[2] And from [3]:

"Emblematic of this mistake was the roll-out of the Air-Sea Battle doctrine. First outlined in a then-classified memo in 2009, ASB became official doctrine in 2010. From the beginning, it was an effort to develop an operational doctrine for a possible military confrontation with China and then-U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates openly discussed the need to counter China’s growing military capabilities. The signal received in Beijing was the U.S. had hostile intentions toward China and was trying to contain it militarily. The result was that the entire pivot was seen by Beijing as part of a broader effort to encircle China."

Have you ever used the tidyverse ecosystem? It's a set of syntacticly-compatible package authored chiefly by one man, which have evolved into a superset of R, if not an outright R2. (R's Scheme lineage makes it very hackable in this way).

I've working on python for my current project and constantly longing for R's syntax specifically for cleaning data. It's so much better.

Just last night, I wanted to perform an anti-join to find discrepancies between two data sets for debugging

One line in R:

anti_join(a_tibble, another_tibble, by = c("id_col1", "id_col2"))

Witchcraft in Pandas: (from stack overflow):

Method 1
# Identify what values are in TableB and not in TableA
key_diff = set(TableB.Key).difference(TableA.Key)
where_diff = TableB.Key.isin(key_diff)

# Slice TableB accordingly and append to TableA
TableA.append(TableB[where_diff], ignore_index=True)

Method 2:
rows = []
for i, row in TableB.iterrows():
if row.Key not in TableA.Key.values:
rows.append(row)

pd.concat([TableA.T] + rows, axis=1).T

I actually fired up R and re-imported the .csv data just for this. Took 15 secs while my colleague was still stuck debugging his own weird for loops.
