It's developed by TSMC, but you can argue that they developed it primarily to offer it to Apple. In that sense you can say Apple paid for it, just by singlehandedly making the investment worth it.

> It's a side gig for teenagers, not a "full-scale" job.

It would make sense if the minimum wage for "teenagers" jobs had kept up with the cost of college tuition, or even the increases in costs of a used car or insurance over the last 10 years.

Some teenagers in impoverished areas are helping their parents make ends meet too; others are emancipated and need a living wage.
> “This is to help people see photos on Instagram and then understand how to get the best Instagram experience by being part of the community, connecting and interacting with the people and things they love,” the company told Adweek.

Why would you say something like this? And why, as a journalist, would you report it? It's a transparent lie; nobody is going to be taken in by it. So why bother even saying it?
> Of course, in constrained environments like embedded systems or other circumstances where control over resources is crucial

I wonder if we should think of end-user machines as such a constrained environment. Certainly, complaining about software bloat and inefficiency is a popular pastime here on HN and on related message boards. Maybe we have an ethical obligation to our users to make the most efficient possible use of their resources, regardless of the extra complexity we have to deal with. Of course, economic realities prevent us from really doing that in many cases.
No. It would hurt not only Uk's economy but also most of EU's economy.

How, say french PM, is going to justify to his ppl that they will suffer... say loss of 1% of gdp, just because politicians decided to teach British a lesson?

No politician would be willing to do this, that would be career suicide brought up every elections.

Plus bonus UK then gets a 'get-out-of-jail-free' card.

'Oh, the evil EU kicked us out without us having say, and now we are suffering. See how bad EU is' - Borris or another brexiter PM.

>So by now everyone is tired of seeing him promote gun.js again and again without contributing any other relevant technical insights.

I don't understand this perspective. Every single time Mark comments, he offers technical insights that are relevant to his experience with gun and distributed tech in general.

I mean look at this comment that you're bitching about. It's not just shameless promotion. It's on-topic and relevant to this discussion...

It should be noted that he's not "selling" gun, either. It's a completely free and open library.
I have always been suspicious at Banksy, it always seemed to me like corporate plot to generate hype. This article really aligns with my intuition. I am very surprised of all the responses here. I expected that this of all places will look through the fake.
UX/UI Design seems to be fundamentally different from the rest of software development, in that it does not work well in a "Bazaar" model: there needs to be a single responsible individual that has the power to make decisions and have them respected.

Another theory is that the UI actually makes up a far larger share of development work than most assume, and that this is therefore the part where limited resources are most felt. A somewhat similar part that somewhat supports this theory is the install/update process.

Regarding ElementaryOS: there's nothing uglier than trying to steal a good design and just failing to even understand it.
After the recent LinkedIn scraping court rulings, it seems Twitter should be legally scrapable. Twitter is largely public content submitted by their users, which Twitter does not own. It’s plausible this is why Instagram removed public access.
That's the syscall - wireguard is implemented in the kernel, not in userspace.
I wonder if just requiring someone to personally appear at a bank with an ID to get a line of credit would get rid of 90% of identity theft issues. While its hardly impossible to pretend to be someone else in person, it would increase both the risk and time-commitment necessary to commit the fraud enough that I doubt it would be worth the criminals time.

On the other hand, opening a line of credit is something people do rarely enough that the extra time required for legitimate borrowers would be marginal.

Electric Grid Cyber Protection: Seven Recent Developments to Know
Oh I totally agree, but Apple's advertised battery life is to ensure CSAT and does not reflect reality.

Fact of the matter is that my Series 4 watch has about 2 and a half to three days of battery life, rather than the marketed 16 hours, especially when used like a fitbit (Apple's estimate bundles in music streaming, navigation, and hardcore workouts, and is tested on the smaller model, which has a smaller battery.)

I was a huge pebble fan, I still use my Pebble 2 and Time Round sometimes, the Apple watch is in another league as per what it can do, but I honestly think the Pebbles were still a better product than Fitbit's watch at doing what fitbit is trying to do. Sure the Fitbit has a nicer screen, but what do they do with it?
Guess cost cutting is coming to the research sector.

Too bad Google's research sector is actually pretty inspiring.
I can speak a little on Chinese and Japanese. In neither of these countries, English (or sometimes even Latin) literacy is high enough to replace the domestic language. (And anyway, maybe it's just me, but reading romanized Chinese or Japanese is exhausting.)

With China, the market's so big that there's an entire ecosystem of homegrown (or Chinese-modified) software and websites, everything from office suites to web browsers, and I have to imagine those support Chinese input just fine.

With Japanese, generally the same software and sites are used, but Japanese support is also pretty good across common software.

Some niche or open source software struggle with IMEs in general, but in those cases, the solution is just to not use that software.
First Take on AirPods Pro in the Wild
I actually have my twitter and mastodon accounts linked with this, but I assume a bridge like the other commenter requested would allow to follow any twitter acount from your Mastodon account.
I mean, there are always matters of degree. Sure C imposes some structure by nature of it's syntactic choices, but it's extremely wide-open when compared to other programming languages.

Lisp, for example, is very opinionated when it comes to things like side-effects. Go is opinionated when it comes to how memory should be managed. Rust is opinionated about when data should be readable and writable, and passed between threads.

C doesn't impose any of these restrictions, largely by virtue of being low-level, and moreover, it should be possible to implement whatever data transforms are implemented in any of those other languages in C as well. The inverse is not the case, so I would argue that C is more permissive than any of those languages.
Or even just detect the rotation tag, leave the image untouched, and rotate it in CSS.

why would minimum wage be less than living wage? everything below living wage should be called poverty
Out of curiosity, what speed were you trying to boot at? I had an issue getting 4 sticks to run at 3600 MHz 1:1. I got it running at 3200 but this wasnt because of finicky ram it was because memory controller couldn't handle 4 sticks at that high a speed. In hindsight this was even hardcoded into the bios as it tried to set FCLK at 1600 with 4 sticks when the XMP profile was loaded (3600), with only 2 sticks it auto loaded 1800 FCLK.
I'm not sure whether or not there is a correlation here. Anecdotally, it seems to me there are plenty of wealthy, employed people who buy new cars and crash them after drinking.

But even if it is true that those who drive cheaper, older cars are more likely to drive drunk? Today's new cars with high-tech self driving features are tomorrow's affordable used cars. You have to start somewhere.

How much would you be willing to pay for a CLI to Pizza Hut or Dominoes? Its obvious that they will never implement that, so the only way would be a 3rd party and they would probably have to charge on top.

I could see this as some sort of cash-back arbitrage business, where the vendor charges a 5% premium, plus use a 3% cash-back card to cover any remainder of the processing/interchange fees.
So now those profiles are not really public anymore.

They are available only to members now. Walled-off.

Wishful thinking unfortunately. I feel it's too late unless someone makes a hard fork from a new net of satellite internet providers who too may have the incentive to stick with the primordial/ongoing-net
For traditional dealerships, the cars not being on the lot does seem like a potential problem. But I'm seeing plenty of cars on the road with Carvana license plate frames these days, so there seems to be some willingness to buy a used car sight unseen over the internet (at least for relatively new cars in good shape).

If Carve could sign up Carvana as a provider, that could be a major source of cars, and Carvana's customers don't expect to be able to bring their car home today. Right now it looks like Carvana has a nationwide inventory of ~16000 cars, although I don't know where those cars live, relative to human population centers.

On the other hand, Carvana isn't Uncle Willy's Used Car Lot ... if this is such a good idea they've probably got the talent to implement it in-house.
There is the fin pitch, the gate pitch, the metal pitch, and (related) the track height (which is a design density number). Fin pitch shrinks a little, gate pitch a little, track lots (Intel used to use 9-12, moving to 6). There is also space between device boundaries, which also can be shrunk.

The 5nm is the gate half pitch, which is no longer a sufficient description. All else being equal, simple shrink would shrink everything, and that gate half pitch would be useful. That hasn't been true for 15 years.

Density comes at the cost of performance and yield, so you balance different aspects to get the right combination. Or _a_ right combination for your design.
Define "beautifully designed". I pay for software that is useful. It doesn't have to be beautiful. I'm not worried who might be looking over my shoulder.

Let's take an example. Calibre is considered by most who use it a very handy tool. It is also considered by most who use it to be ... not very good to look at. I donate to Calibre because it is useful. Would I donate (or pay) for an app that wasn't quite as useful but was better to look at? Nope.
I would say no.

But in reality I already paid for JetBrains while I would never have expected to, so why not?

Date and time are complex because they are social and historical constructs. Everything about them is arbitrary and exists because of arcane historical reasons. No regular system of organizing time maps cleanly onto the movement of heavenly bodies because those movements are not regular (hence: leap seconds). You can describe time in a way that is precise, or in a way that is intuitive, but not both, and woe to anyone trying to convert between the representations.

Time zones are the worst because they are political tools, changed for political reasons, often with very little lead time. I think of them as a one way function mapping universal time onto the local political reality.

ICT Supply-Chain Security
Socialist planned economies usually provided food, housing, employment, education, and medical care for free or at a subsidy. Socialist elites did live better lives, but they tended to be more modest compared to the ultra-rich excesses under Western capitalism.

Chavez's terms over Venezuela proved to be very popular with the poor people of the barrios because he used state resources to raise their standards of living. He also managed to convert them into a real political force that would support him and Maduro against the richer people in the same country who want to see Chavez's and Maduro's policies reverted. Chavez certainly did mismanage the economy in the long-term by his over-reliance on oil and currency trading oil for resources, so the oil price drops devastated the economy and ground it to hyperinflation.

It is also important to note the distinction between Socialist Planned Economy under Marxist-Leninist Communists and the "21st century socialism" of Venezeula that is a mixed market economy where it's effectively half state-managed nationalized socialism and half free market.

Maybe I haven't been following Linux closely enough?

I'd happily pay for a Linux-based laptop that's on par with a Mac. If it had an app store, I'd consider buying some applications.

The thing is, on a day-to-day basis, almost all desktop software that I use is either free, or has a good enough community version. I very rarely come across something that's useful enough that I pay for it.

FYI: What do I pay for? MakeMKV, TurboTax, VMware Fusion, and a disk recovery application.

Here's the challenge: When I think of Linux, I just assume that everything is 100% open-source (and thus free beer) because I assume that every Linux user is a GNU fanboy and wants to compile their own software by rubbing two sticks together. Maybe my biases are outdated or wrong?

Anyway, when your users plan to compile their own software from source, half of the value of paid software is gone! (Commercial software is more than the source code, BTW)

Again, I'd happily pay for a Linux-based laptop on par with Mac.
...if you're happy running random third party binaries instead of building from source.
>From my personal experience in nyc, and from talking to neighbors who own restaurants, small and family owned businesses are absolutely hurting. They’ve reduced staff, and owners are making up lost hours themselves

Well, if they were hurt with such a raise, perhaps they were not viable businesses and are better closed.

The employees might lose a crappy near-subsistence job, but both the employees and owners can then concentrate their efforts into something better...

Somehow Europe manages to have viable restaurants despite decent minimum wage and not tips-oriented compensation...
It's not the same high standard when they allow targeting of specific people and groups highly vulnerable to bullshit with no one else included who might identify it as such.

I don’t use Instagram. I’m sure I’ve seen Instagram pages, but I’ve never had a reason to create an account. But if they let me see pages, maybe someday I’ll see the need for myself.

A hair stylist I went to recently has an Instagram page. She did a great job, I’ll go bookmark her page in case I forget who she is. And that’s when I am met with a login page. Well, guess who now stands no chance of ever having an Instagram account? They might wear me down if enough friends send links that I click. “Hey, ya know, this looks kinda handy.” Now it’s all over a wall I don’t feel like climbing. Which is fine. I’m not mad, or much of anything, frankly. It’s another “service” I don’t have to waste time on.

But, boy, it strikes me as a strange way to pursue growth.
That's not remotely true. If the fast food sector was "meant for teenagers" they wouldn't open until like 4 pm when school was out.

More restaurants are now closing than opening:

"The Golden Gate Restaurant Association looked at numbers from Yelp and found that last year 325 restaurants in San Francisco closed versus 298 that opened. They anticipate this year there will be even more closures, despite what's considered to be a strong economy."
How mature and functional is it now? I recall looking at it in the past and seeing that it wasn’t ready (I’m perhaps not recalling things right). In the list of instances, the one with the highest number of users, pixelfed.social, seems to have less than 10 posts per user (in total), on average. Sounds like adoption is not even as good as Mastodon yet.
AMD is currently using TSMC for their new line of CPUS. I think this gives AMD a huge advantage over Intel, as they can always just go to whoever has the best foundry.
This is kind of silly. It's nice to imagine a world where people don't need cars. But most/all european cities, many of which we laid out before cars, still have cars.

We all have cars because cars are incredibly useful; Got 4 young kids and you need to get groceries for the week? You're not going to bicycle them to the store and all that food home again in the mountains. Live in the city and want to go hiking 20 miles away? You're not going to settle for 30MPH when you could be doing 70MPH to get there. The reasons for cars are endless. That's why we have them.

(BTW, I pretty much only bike in my city. But it's pretty obvious why people have cars.)
At that point you have that choice. If the software was proprietary you only have the migrate option.

Absolutely. Sublime Text is one.
I would think that this number would actually be higher than 'nearly' half. They are at school all day with laptops, and then I would imagine they go home and do homework, watch videos, and communicate with friends all using a screen. The only time away from screens is showering or playing a sport.

For me, I would guess that I spend 13 hours a day looking at a screen. I think that's just modern life for a lot of people, especially those who work in tech.
I don't think people are confused by this word choice, but to your point requires or mandates might be better.
That really proves how oftrn "unfair" is narcissistically defined as "bad for me with no regard to the larger system even in its effect on them".

The web has killed desktop apps. I use linux, but I don't buy software on any platform besides games.

I think it makes sense for professional productivity apps, like CAD stuff.

I don't think basic desktop apps are worth a fee, since no one will buy them with all the free alternatives, but maybe a case can be made with something that ties into managed cloud compute services (like superhuman's use of AI).

Just curious: Why would someone do a TUI (text-based user interface) on a modern computer?

Using C# implies that you're running on a device powerful enough for a traditional GUI.

As best I can tell Intel kinda painted themselves into a corner with their 14nm+++ process. It produces really high quality parts (no surprise) but that also means that there is now an expectation of super high clocks on the intel side. That's not realistic however and I highly doubt their 10nm can currently match their 14nm+++ process on clocks (yet). It looks like Intel is thus focusing 10nm on areas where clocks more representative of a new node won't be an issue: server and mobile.

I'll be honest and say I'm very curious to see how intel tries to escape this trap they've set for themselves. Unless we see rapid gains in the 10nm process quality up into the 4.5+ GHz range I wouldn't expect to see 10nm desktop parts anytime soon.
