From what they are saying internally this is/will continue to be a huge shift in the market, the Chinese importers are paying way more generally and even for the parts that the European market doesn't use directly for human consumption.
Some Classic Mac OS Finder features explained:

Pup-Up Folders: When dragging a Finder window near the bottom edge of the screen, its outline changed (the Classic Finder just displayed a dotted outline while dragging windows to safe display memory) to represent a tabbed window. If the window was released like this, it would change to a tab aligned to the bottom edge of the desktop just wide enough to represent the window title. Clicking this title tab, the window would pop-up to its full size with scrollbars, the title tab centered on the top and two resize handles at either size of the document bar at the top (the one reporting items and folder size). Clicking on the tab again or anywhere outside of the window would minimize the window to its tab again. When dragged away from the bottom edge, a tabbed window would change back to normal behavior. (As mentioned in the article, this feature eventually was discarded in favor of the Dock.)

([Edit] Notably, pup-up folders deviated from any other window behavior on Macintosh as its location wasn't given by its top left corner, but rather by its center axis, to which it was aligned. In this aspect, it was always a bit of an oddity in Mac OS, and, while exceptionally useful, didn't integrate too well to the rest of the interface. Also mind usability aspects, when changing behavior while dragging and by this also switching respective alignment anchors.)

A somewhat similar feature not mentioned in the article were collapsable windows, which collapsed a window to its title bar (either by the special collapse widget at the very right of the title bar or by simply double clicking the title), but which were still freely moveable and stackable on the desktop. (The closest there was on Classic Mac OS to iconizing.)

Classic labels: These were limited to a set of 7 labels, either selectable from the menu bar or by an icon's context menu. Each label had an associated color, which would colorize the icon by a translucent tint in icon and list views. (Wording and colors of these labels were globally configurable in the Finder preferences.) Labels were both a visual hint and a useful sorting criterium in the Finder.

Proxies: Besides the proxy icon in the title bar of a window or document, there was also another use of proxies, namely in the process menu at the very right of the menu bar. This was a tear down menu listing all active applications, which would transform into a floating pallet window, when rorn from the menu bar. Applications would be listed as buttons (a now forgotten optional window view) with the active application shown in depressed/active state. App-buttons would receive drag-and-drop actions like any other representation of an application.

Notably, there was a (somewhat hidden) path view in Finder, namely in the form of drop-down menu appearing on a Cmd-click on a window's title. However, while this could be used for orientation and traversing the hierarchy upwards, this wasn't of use for any sort of pinpoint forward navigation. (The early-Safari snap-back feature in the article's wish list is somewhat related to this.) This is still a feature of Finder windows.

Why would GPL prevent distribution via app stores? I think I have at least one GPL app installed that way.
In my experience ham and premium meats consistently go on-sale for the holiday season. I'm guessing the roasts serve as a loss-leader so that people buy the rest of the ingredients for the family feast at the supermarket.

Even with just one major game to his name, its legacy lives on. Another World set the template for the "cinematic videogame" and even today you can see the influence of its cutscenes and minimalist gameplay on games like Ico/Shadow of the Colossus and a plethora of modern indie games. It accomplishes with wordless dialog what Hideo Kojima tries to do with 20 hours of overwrought monologues.
You don't get 3d with that kind of setup. It can work for seated experiences like driving or flying sims but for any kind of game where you interact with the environment it doesn't work.

Holodeck is effectively VR, not walls with projections on them.
I think it is supposed to be an example of just-in-time optimization that almost did not happen. The implication seems to be that the architects did not even consider code-level optimization as a possible solution.

Maybe the better message is "try to understand the causes of your problem before you try to solve it."
Wow, I think I have had my tire pressure checked by a gas station attendant exactly 0 times (Portland, OR resident for 30+ years), and had my windshield cleaned less than 4 times in my life.

Oddly enough that was not the original justification, Rust was initially conceived as something closer to Swift. It’s really the accretions community which saw the possibility to fulfill a need and ran with it, and of course Grayson Hoare & co which accepted / allowed it.

Rust used to have split stacks and green threads for instance, and had special syntax for GC’d values (and unique pointers TBF).
That's a very uncharitable way of interpreting the headline. From the article body: "the epidemic there alone has killed nearly one-quarter of all the world’s pigs".

Your risk aversion seems justified. It seems reasonable to estimate that very few teams are in the position of needing the kind of scale/scalability that something like Apache Pulsar offers. They are much more likely to be in either a state where they will not put Pulsar through its paces or where they already have a solution in place that serves their scale/scalability needs.

When a team you are on starts discussing switching over to a technology like Pulsar because of its amazing benefits, unless your pants are on fire, it is much more likely than not that you do not stand to gain much from the benefits that such software brings but you are accepting the maintenance burden that it represents.

> I think there's a way on a landline to "hold the line open", even while the other person hangs up?

Ah, thank you, I understand now.

This was true with landlines decades ago, but that problem had been resolved a long time back, before I stopped having a landline entirely.

It may not have been solved everywhere, though...
Interestingly, this technique is often called throat singing, because it typically occurs with a style of singing that does begin in the throat. But the overtones themselves are "singled out" by the shape of your tongue, which is why it sounds so much like a varietal RearrrearrrRRRRearrrr effect. The "throat" part of throat singing is the rough "frog" and grinding sounds you hear in Tuva (for example), which is done to provide richer overtones for singling out with the tongue.

I saw an illustrated guide of how to do it, but it was so long ago I probably won't find it again. It's basically a lot like how you pronounce the R sound, except that your tongue takes on a bit of an S wave shape. If you look at a referee's whistle, you can get a fairly good idea what shape it is that you are forming inside your mouth. The shape of the whistle is to emphasize a specific frequency in the hiss noise made by blowing into it. Polyphonic overtone singing is pretty much exactly the same thing, but using voice instead of hiss to generate the complex tones.

And just like learning to whistle, at first you'll sound like a raving lunatic and maybe even come close to passing out from hyperventilating. But once you begin finding the ideal tongue placements for a pitch, you'll very rapidly learn more, and it'll be exactly as automatic as after you learn to whistle. They're very very similar things to do, and the difficulty is identical.

If you are tongue tied (as I am) you probably won't ever be able to do it right. But you should be able to coax out at least a bit of overtone.

Now go out and try it, and enjoy knowing your neighbours will be forever terrified of you.
It is worth noting that ALL the agile values you spelled out are actually important. That said, the values on the right do not take precedence over the values on the left.

Processes and tools are important so long as they don't diminish individuals and interactions.

Documentation is important so long as it doesn't get in the way of building software that works.

Contract negotiations are important so long as they don't get in the way of a collaborative relationship with customers.

Following a plan is important so long as it doesn't get in the way of responding to change as a competitive advantage.
Does this mean no McRib for a few years?

McRib is how McDonald's plays the pork futures market.

My understanding is that Kickstart contained both Exec (the kernel) and Intuition (the windowing GUI library), so it was more than a BIOS.
I have many machines, each of which have one or many applications that send messages. And I have one machine with an instance of Rabbit to which all messages are sent. If the network is down or the Rabbit machine is down, the messages are gone along with their data.

Clustering the Rabbit machine helps one particular failure scenario, but it's not a solution to the problem.
In finance, it's called risk appetite. Different people and different entities have a different appetite for risk, and they will act accordingly. There is nothing intrinsically wrong guesswork if parties understand the context, and don't lie to themselves.

>12 or 24 months is stable, technically?
Hm. Faster iterations are better, usually, again if we understand the context, but I see a lot of companies that are too quick to go into full panic mode. An example would be recession – If you plan to invest for the next 60 month, and a recession hits you on month 20, the right choice would be to ignore the inputs, and keep investing. Those who pull their assets when prices are low usually lose.

Quick or long iterations are not be all solutions, once always have to keep the context in mind and use first principles to understand what is that we are doing, and trying to achieve.
I have yet to see a real performance where this technique is used artistically and in a way that sounds pleasant.
To maximize performance you'd tend to combine the blitter with a M68k loop, typically using MOVEM to maximize the number of bytes copied per instruction.

The reason for this is that the blitter can not utilize every single memory cycle.

So if you want to maximize graphics throughput you'll need to carefully balance the work between the blitter and CPU depending on which CPU.
A great way to think of the original RISC transition is as a tradeoff between instruction decode complexity (and speed) and instruction fetch bandwidth.

This trade-off equation changed enormously the moment that L1 I-caches moved on-chip - which was when the RISC revolution flowered
Yah, it's BS. But it may be teaching TSMC a whole lot about making larger chips with good yield, and the across-reticle interconnect technology is impressive too and may find some general applicability (e.g. it sounds like something AMD might like).
Very effective strategy you got there. It's been tried in every one of the last 6 decades of elections, I'm sure it will penetrate the minds of the voters so effectively and not highlight how out-of-touch and extreme certain quarters have become or remain.

Not even just republicans, plenty on the left would laugh off such banal and uninteresting of takes.

The Datasette did not ship with every VIC-20. There were plenty of non-Commodore datasette clones on the market, however.
"Doctor shopping" is a term invented in order to deprive patients in pain of the medication they need; it has nothing to do with this case. The idiom you may have intended to use is "getting a second opinion". Many good physicians encourage this practice; many poor physicians do not. The yelling about suing the Connecticut facility occurred only after the Connecticut facility was suggested, which was six months into the kidnapping. I'm not surprised the patient and her family weren't so trusting at that time. There were probably financial considerations as well as legal ones to this suggested transfer. A good reporter might have investigated that.

I'll stipulate that the family got more emotional than I would in the same situation. However, they didn't get any more emotional than one might expect. Their kid was dying, then they weren't allowed to see their dying kid. Emotional people can go to a mechanic and get their car fixed. They can go to the vet and get their dog fixed. They can go to an accountant and get their taxes done. What is so special about hospital physicians, that they should never have to deal with any emotion other than awestruck adoration? Answer: they're allowed to lock their customers in. The law might support it, but only in an ad hoc, "possession is 9/10" sense. They can tell the state "hey we've already kidnapped this kid and our lawyers are on the case" instead of "you should convince a judge to send armed police to kidnap this kid". That's why big hospitals with lots of lawyers do this sort of thing and smaller facilities don't.

Calling these parents "awful" is just consequence-free internet big talking, joined in this case with left-hand/right-hand they-both-have-good-points-who-can-say pretend moderation. Less of that, please.

This is a response by the author of the tweet that hit the front page of hacker news a couple days ago “The Darkside of GraphQL: Performance”.

Basically his result here after his tweet is that there was a performance bug in TypeGraphQL which is a TypeScript GraphQL frameworks was using.

By the way if you’ve never heard of Ben Awad and are looking to learn GraphQL he has some great videos on his channel that I have found tremendously helpful.

I studied math for a couple years in university and have been a professional python programmer for a while.

I’m familiar with the theory behind popular styles like OO and have used them professionally but ultimately I find Haskells incredibly simple and constrained type system (closed data types, no subtyping, essentially total inference, purity, etc) easier to think in than the Wild West of python or java, say, since there are fewer modeling choices to make.

Yes, 16nm/TSMC.

I really miss old Opera which correctly implemented HTTP pipelining[1] :/

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_pipelining

Edit: article also doesn't mention about keep-alive, in fact it explicitly states that HTTP/1.1 opens one connection per request which is not true. Makes me think that the HTTP/1.1 demo disables KA to make effect even more dramatic.

Edit2: demos don't make actual network requests.
The typo-squatting aspect (and the the related recommendation to vendors) seems somewhat beside the point. I think the problem is simply: how can you tell that a package is trustworthy?

The article's scenario, where the victim relies on Stackoverflow answers to judge trustworthiness, would play out the same way without typo-squatting - for example, the Python 3 replacement for PIL is called Pillow. I'm pretty sure Pillow is legitimate, but how do I determine this is general?
I don't know if you can at this point. People were complacent and dismissed the concerns. Sell side only started writing about it 6 months or more after we caught wind of it. You just have to be ahead of the curve. Many reasons why sell side was complacent, including 1) analysts, especially US-based ones, are very focused on leading indicators of supply from USDA data and 2) they don't want to think about China that much bc they feel it's hard to rely on the data from there, etc

People were walking into non-restricted areas of the military bases that were open to the public. None of the incidents discussed in the article were in restricted areas of the bases. That's not to say they didn't fall under the security of the base, so it would be reasonable for the commissionaires tasked with base security to investigate suspicious activity even in non-restricted areas.

E.g. Fort Fontenac, one of the bases named, is the site of a historic battle and so has cultural interest open to the public. But it also has official Canadian Forces business conducted on site. Similarly some of the CFBs have museums etc and are generally open to the public.
