I think you've kind of proved your opponents' points here: support for equal rights and dignity for women is something supported by feminism's opponents as much as it is by feminists, so it's a poor differentiator between the two.

I think I can do better. I'm pretty sure non-feminists would disagree with both of the following. How many feminists would disagree with either?

Q: Do you believe that The Patriarchy controls society and oppresses us?

Q: Do you believe that unequal rights under the law (e.g. Affirmitive Action) are necessary to correct the injustices you perceive in society?

(1) is the question that I would expect most clearly correlates with being a feminist (by self-identification); from an information-theoretical point of view, this would be what defines feminism.

(2) is the counter to your argument directly: women have at least equal rights to men in most developed nations; feminists blame differences in outcomes that remain on The Patriarchy, whereas opponents of feminism typically explain them by actual differences between men and women, dispositionally and otherwise (For example the "gender wage gap": https://web.stanford.edu/~diamondr/UberPayGap.pdf). Actual feminists typically argue against equal rights for women (for example demanding governmental pressure to change hiring ratios: https://nwlc.org/resources/affirmative-action-and-what-it-me...).

TBH I don't really care about unisex/gendered products. I'm not going to waste my money on Gilette's patronising garbage (I mean Stealth? Mach 3? And oh my word the prices.

Actually newer models don't predict the lag / the pause at all.

Instead what happened is they decided the temperature records that showed a pause were wrong, went back and adjusted them so there's no longer any real pause if you look at the latest temperature datasets. The entire thing was written off as a giant measurement error.
If Catalina is hitting you hard, why don't you install Linux on top your Apple devices?

Pick a very stable distribution (e.g. Ubuntu targets also Mac Hardware) and never look back again. Next time you need new hardware, just don't buy any overpriced Apple hardware again for your needs. Keep the dependency on Apple as low as possible (e.g. only if you develop for iOS)
On the flip-side, when relying on OSS you can often find yourself in a situation where the last maintainer of a library critical to your workflow disappears, and the only options you have are to fork it and maintain it yourself (at high cost), or switch to something else if it's available (often at high cost). OSS is not a panacea for development risk.
In Israel I've found that Hebrew speakers exclusively write in Hebrew. Aside from letters, there's nothing else needed. One CAN add vowels, but only children's books have vowels so we're used to reading without them.

The Arab world uses a lot more of the Latin alphabet, but they don't write in English. For example مرحبا would turn into mar7aba. Here's a wikipedia article on the phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_chat_alphabet#Levantine...
But what OP says is true for OpenSource as well. If the whole company uses Ubuntu, Eclipse and some Linux tools, their workflow is tied to these products. No matter if they're open source or not. If something gets abandoned that is crucial to the existing workflows, things get messy.
No-one who has used Apple products professionally in a production environment - and knew what they were doing - has ever upgraded to a .0 release of the OS. I don't understand why you would do this and I don't understand why you wouldn't advise your employees not to do it either.

Actually I’m not convinced assistants will improve safety.

Level 4 for example could be a blood bath, where cars drive all the easy situations, and hand over emergency control to out of practice drivers barely paying attention at a moments notice.

I believe our driving skills were better when we had manual transmission, and were more involved in overall operation. Hard to determine if safer, b/c of advances in crumple zones, airbags, etc as manual declined.
Yep. That was my Catalina frustration, too.

My phone broke last week so I bought an iPhone 11.

My Mac wouldn't connect/sync with it unless I upgraded to Catalina.

So I upgraded to Catalina, and now all of the software I used on Mac doesn't work at all. (iZotope Audio editing, Native Instruments, Cubase, Audacity, and more. None of it works in Catalina.) Catalina also makes my Mac Mini not recognize my LG monitor unless I Cmd-Opt-P-R flash PRAM and reboot a few times just to get it to send a signal to the monitor.

So now the Mac is useless to me. I literally can't use it for anything I was using it for. It has no working programs on it.

So I switched back to Android, found an old Windows laptop, re-installed my audio software on Windows, and I'll just work without Apple until they fix their OS, or maybe never again.

>The target was a Vietnamese man named Hieu Minh Ngo. Investigators believed he was a big-time identity thief who sold packages of data known as “fullz,” each of which typically included a person’s name, date of birth, mother’s maiden name, Social Security number, and e-mail address and password. Criminals could buy fullz from Ngo for as little as eight cents and then use them to open credit cards, take out loans, or file for bogus tax refunds. [...] He had allowed nearly 1,400 criminals to access a database containing the personal information of 200 million U.S. citizens—almost two-thirds of the population.

If two thirds of Americans have had all of that information compromised from this one incident alone, why do we use it as authentication for anything? Shouldn't the SSN be replaced/assisted by a key pair?
Next thing we know, every program is gonna ship with either a slimmed-down (!) 20MB JRE (if you use modules, otherwise it's gonna be worse), 130MB Electron runtime (this makes bundling the JRE seem like a good option), or what have you..

I think OP covered that in:

> The problem is, we've invested so much in Apple technologies, workflows, the ecosystem, that I don't know if we should just wait it out and keep our fingers crossed, or make a dedicated effort to become less reliant on any single tech provider.

And I agree with you, gradually move to open technologies like Linux would be my choice as well.
A combination of:

- People with a vested interest in FSD being RSN playing a game of topper with each other, investors, and the market

- Extremely rapid progress in supervised learning, especially vision, being extrapolated into thinking along the lines of "How much longer can getting to FSD really take if we've made this much progress in just a few years?"

- A bunch of young urbanites with dreams of never having to buy a car or even learn to drive bought into all the hybe because they so wanted to believe. (And no small part of the backlash is probably that many of the same group feel basically kicked in the teeth at this point as reality sets in.)
> This is not true for JS.

JavaScript is much more constrained than Rust, because of the spec and the compatibility with existing code. The js VM has many constraints, like being single threaded or having the same GC for DOM nodes and js objects for instance. Rust could patch LLVM if they needed (and they do already, even if it takes time to merge) but you can't patch the whole web.

> fact, inside some `read` method the runtime could even run an entire event loop while it waits for the IO to complete, just as `await` effectively does

No it cannot without violating its own spec (and it would probably break half the web if it started doing that). Js is single threaded by design, and you can't change that without designing a completely different VM.

> No, it isn't. JS isn't Haskell and doesn't track effects, and syncFoo can change GlobalState.bar.

Of course, but if syncfoo is some function I wrote I know it doesn't. The guarantee is that nobody else (let say an analytics script) is going to mutate that between those two lines. If I use await, everybody's script can be run in between. That's a big difference.

> because the generated code is virtually the same.

You keep repeating that over and over again but that's nonsense. You can't implement stackless and stackful coroutines the same way. Stackless coroutines have no stack, a known size, and can be desugared into state machines. Sackful coroutines (AKA threads) have a stack, they are more versatile but you can't predict how big it will be (that would require solving the halting problem), so you can either have a big stack (that's what OS thread do) or start with a small stack and grow as needed. Either approach has a cost: big stack implies big memory consumption (but the OS can mitigate some of it) and small stack implies stack growth, which has a cost (even if small).
I would be interested to meet a human driver who didn't have 3 seconds of erroneous/unreliable behaviour per year.

Is your company big enough to be using Joint Venture/AppleCare for Enterprise? If so, I'd talk to your rep about either getting this stuff fixed or getting your fees refunded.

In the meanwhile, start testing Windows or Linux desktops with a few people. If you start planning a changeover now and Apple doesn't get your stuff fixed, it won't be as difficult as trying to rush the company through a ecosystem change.
That's the power of having such huge scale compared to your customers. If a few people drop your product because of defects or poor service, it's just a rounding error in your profits and can simply be ignored. Meanwhile, the pressure to conform guarantees a critical mass can't accumulate for a boycott or other cooperative action against you. It is a market failure of a different category than Monopoly, but no less damaging.
I hear you and agree and disagree. I've definitely had my life changed by moving/traveling abroad. At the same time, I just kept going and going and now I've spread myself too thin and have acquaintanceships all over.

any article containing the word "framework" right in the title is either philosophical mumbo-jumbo, or an incomplete documentation for an over-engineered first project of a recent CS graduate.
The EPU on the F-16 is actually quite interesting itself and is a good fit for what is needed with 70s technology.

Redundant systems are normal on aircraft and the F-16 has a particular need for hydraulic and electrical power as its inherently unstable airframe needs various onboard systems to keep it stable and flyable.

If the main generator disconnects from the bus or the hydraulic pressure drops[0] the EPU will automatically operate to provide electrical and hydraulic power. It can run from engine bleed air, but if the (single) engine has failed then pressure will be provided from the hydrazine system.

It achieves this using a 70% solution of hydrazine in water as a monopropellant, which is decomposed over an iridium catalyst. The water helps keep it stable, and cools the catalyst when it boils, keeping it around 850C and the high pressure gasses are fed into the EPU.

This has the advantage of being light (25L of hydrazine and simple as only a single liquid), reliable and fast acting (~2s to max power).

> The problems it was well designed for have disappeared

I think C is still an incredibly relevant language. There are still plenty of cases where it's useful to have a very simple, un-opinionated language for working close to the metal. I think C as "portable assembly" is still incredibly useful, and no other language has really filled that slot perfectly.

> C has bad memory management because it was built when programmers had kilo- to mega- bytes to play with and needed perfect control.

I don't think C's memory management is bad. It's not right for heaps of problems where it's not needed; for example for things like front-end work, or server software where the main concern is stability, manual memory management is unnecessary. But for domains like computer graphics, or for optimizing compute-bound workloads, manual memory management is still completely relevant.

To me, the parts of C which seem a bit dated are the lack of some basic "quality of life" features we take for granted in most languages. For instance, I would be happy with a language almost exactly like C, but with a slightly more powerful type system first-class optionals, and some syntactic sugar for dealing with arrays (i.e. counts, map/reduce/filter functions etc.)
Ask HN: Do you support developers through Amazon affiliate link purchases?

The only real flaw in C design is strings and I would argue the preprocessor. The rest is working as intended.
Your political opponents think exactly the same about you, though. Your belief that "truth" would be objectively measured and enforced is pretty naive. Especially if you count "refusing to acknowledge problems that are inconvenient" as untruth.

Look at it this way. Huge numbers of Americans and especially Democrats believed for the longest time, and many still do, that Trump was a Russian spy. The entire "Russiagate" phenomenon was investigated to ludicrous depth and found no evidence such claims were true; so does that mean every journalist and Democrat politician that fueled those flames now goes to prison, or can't speak in public anymore? Think about what you're arguing for here! That was an absolutely massive factual inaccuracy so how would it be held to account?

And let's not even get into cases where someone genuinely believes they're repeating something true, which turns out not to be. If that were the case, given the replication crisis in science virtually all politicians would end up being unable to speak publicly as they'd have repeated the claims of studies that later didn't replicate.

Great advice. Everyone needs to understand this fundamental fact about software. It's all about lock-in and control (no matter the vendor).

This is the primary reason I only use open source programming languages (preferably ones with ISO standards not controlled by one, or a handful of companies). I can't imagine running a business or designing a system that relies on some closed source, black box code. It's just too risky and will come back to bite you and may even ruin your endeavor.

It isn't, but the fact that you have two options (maintain yourself or switch to another solution) instead of a single option in the case of non-OSS (only switch to another solution) is a huge benefit. And, unless you're using some very obscure OSS or very outdated OSS (probably a bad idea), the likelihood is that there is a community around the product which consists of multiple maintainers/experts who are willing to continue development even after key maintainers move on

That's very true (I don't think OP was suggesting otherwise), but what OSS does more then closed-source is give you a way out. 99 times out of 100 there will be an option/method to migrate your data out/away from $abandoned_project. That is the real freedom OSS offers, you are not trapped.
