Do you know if Epic scraped the effort to make a parallelized Vulkan renderer in UE?

While it's great that you could move away from it, a lot of in-development games are already stuck with UE, and it's a concern if they won't be able to make well performing Linux releases.

> I don't understand why so many large companies use platform abstractions. At a certain size you're big enough to have an iOS team that develops natively in Swift/ObjC and an Android team developing natively in Kotlin or Java.

Because whoever made the decision to move to an abstraction gets to highlight "eliminated redundancies and saved the company $XMM/year" in their next performance review/resume.
>And there's nothing wrong with switching from brand name to generic, and most patients don't need to see their doctor every 30 days, and if they do, they can still make an appointment.

For patients with chronic conditions if the doctor determines the patient should be seen to evaluate their condition in 30 days before a new script is written, insurers having pharmacists effect a change to 90, is a direct interference with the doctor's practice of medicine. The doctor should make the determination, because they have the relationship with the patient, they know if they are at risk or likely to adhere to the therapies better than an insurer making broad brush strokes based on the cost to insurers. You also skip over the part where doctors get dropped from the insurers network when they don't accept the insurers "recommendations."

>The length of the drug prescription does not control the appointment - and anyway you can just call and they'll extend the prescription on the phone.

Sure, but that is not how it works in practice, the patients won't set up another appointment until they need another script, which is cheaper for the insurer and worse for the patient outcomes. Nevermind the Doctor being in the best position to determine which patients should be seen every 30 or 90 days, the shorter duration and 30 day appointments lead to higher percentages of drug adherence...which is a major issue in the US leading to about 1 million hospitalizations per year.
If the value and momentum and size factors are legitimate, then it stands to reason that there could be other more obscure, less intuitive and more profitable anomalies. Are those limited to very small magnitudes? Maybe, but I don't see why that should necessarily be so.

Enterprise users are most often using enterprise servers with fancy built in disk enclosures, and they're likely to fill those up with disks. Expanding the storage by replacing with higher capacity disks makes sense; expanding by using more disks isn't as likely. And changing the configuration to have fewer disks is also less likely; you paid for all those slots, so they're going to be filled.

Using modern C++ everyday, that’s how I feel looking at C++98 code ;-)
React Native could very well fall out of favor in the next 10 years, but the amount of companies using it today means there is a sufficient base to share the maintenance burden with, of which Shopify could potentially carry a large amount because of the significant overlap with the rest of their tech stack. If Google becomes disinterested in Dart, could Shopify step up and maintain it? Seems unlikely, and why on Earth would they want to, it's nowhere close to the rest of their competencies?

If for one technology you can extrapolate from today out to the next several years at least, and the other's path is effectively entirely opaque and at the whim of another party, it's a company-killer level risk to bet on the latter. Put it this way, if Google drops Dart/Flutter tomorrow, Google will be just fine as they have very little skin in the game so to speak. Technical reasons one way or another are completely overshadowed by the business risks, as the landscape is today (which will change over the years, but Shopify is making their decision today).
This is deeply insightful.
For many medicines, you really can't separate efficacy from safety. As an extreme case, take for example cancer drugs. They typically have high side effects and every year, a certain proportion of the people taking them, die from the side effects. That is an acceptable risk because there is evidence that they are efficacious in treating cancer. If they are not efficacious, that is a completely unacceptable risk.

Less extreme are antibiotics which can also have bad side effects, but are useful drugs because they actually kill bacteria. If they did not, the side effects would be unacceptable.

The library management (with and without Apple Music), digital locker, and queue system are the three core features I can't move to another music app-slash-service. And I've tried all of them, many, many times. I especially find Spotify infuriating, the library is so completely unusable they might as well remove it and turn the app into a giant search box.

When I was younger I bought 2 songs, burned them on a CD, then ripped it to get the mp3s.

Glad I had that mentality, Apple has never been trustworthy.
Any app can save documents to local storage. As an example, I've 90GB of Spotify music on my phone, as I told it to download the entire "Liked songs" playlist. Google Play Music and YouTube Music also download to the phone. So no, you aren't forced to use Apple Music. You can even change Siri to use Spotify as a default in limited circumstances. It's not an iOS restriction the way independent browser implementations are restricted or how you can't set a default Mail app or Web Browser. There isn't even an iTunes app for syncing any more, so it's hard to argue that Apple has a giant advantage over third-parties ... except in how Apple gets a 30% cut of in-app subscriptions from third-parties, of course. And how asking Siri "What song is this?" always takes you to iTunes to buy it.

You see this inconsistency in individual people all the time. Like how almost everyone wants to be found easily on LinkedIn, Twitter, etc, so they add a public profile photo. Then they freak out because someone starts scraping these photos to build a facial recognition model.
The thing is, this is still all about a preliminary injunction. Even if the injunction is found to be without merit, that still doesn't provide a final answer to of if LinkedIn can successfully sue HiQ to force HiQ to stop scraping under the CFAA.
so how is that implemented? wouldn’t you just record the current page each time it changes? which is essentially the same as loggingh page turn?
Just responding to the "Why shouldn't governments" argument, but the obvious counter-response to that is that (at least in its current iteration) the government is pretty bad on slapping its own hand. We see this at the heart of the criminal justice system, and we see its ill effects. That is slowly starting to change, and I think for the better, but it's still pretty bad.

In competitive space, what do we do when the government fails to check itself against anti-competitive behavior?
Also, Britain also seems to give investors and banks undue influence over their judicial system. So it isn't so far fetched for them to throw a citizen to the wolves when it comes to committing crimes that impact the financial institutions of other nations, particularly the USA.
You treat it as a public-facing building storefront, with you standing outside and taking pictures.

As long as there are big glass windows, the patrons and the information gained from looking inside are not subject to privacy, and are thus freely accessible to anyone walking by.

What you're not entitled to is the backend workings of the website - the application/code/databases, and credentials. It would be akin to going into a restaurant and forcing yourself into the food prep area and stealing the owner's keys, and contaminating the food that patrons eat.

Scraping too often would be something akin to setting up a camera tripod right in the building entrance, hindering the influx of new customers. While not explicitly illegal, it does hinder the operation of the business, and you will probably be physically removed at some point (this is banning abusive bots, etc.)
The presumption is that it's actually the regulations that prevents the competition, which haven't at all been made clear. How about patents for example? How about the cheap prices of Europe?

No, I want locating those members to be hard. I understand human nature and we know that no one will watch the watchers. There are lots of avenues for tracking these groups but it requires real work. You have to infiltrate and investigate.

You are also missing something. It is really about civilians being harmed? How many people died last year from terrorism in the US or the UK? How many died because people were texting and driving? Or drunk driving? Should we track when you text and drive the same way? Should we have police sit outside of every bar testing people to prevent harm? I think we all prefer to have the presumption of innocence and to face consequences for our mistakes and crimes, not to be tracked in case we do.

Here's the thing though: is the situation actually worse than things were for people in the '80s, or do we only believe it must be worse because Orwell wrote some fiction about what life would be like in an era of constant public surveillance, and it turns out the reality on-the-ground is quite different?

Orwell assumed a system with a lot of power that was also unaccountable and heavily abused by those in control of it. UK government is neither of those things; they have elections more often than the US does.

I'm personally of the opinion that people take 1984 as prophetic gospel when there are multiple scenarios that include mass ubiquitous surveillance that could come to pass. David Brin looks through several alternatives in "The Transparent Society" that seem to reflect more closely the nature of the modern world.

Assuming the worst-case scenario is as much an anti-pattern for planning as assuming the best-case scenario.

Well, what would you suggest?

"A Tour of Standard Meta-Language" is nonsense. If there's one really unfortunate thing about ML, it's that the expanded (original? source?) name of the language is so meaningless that nobody bothers to learn it. The name of the language really is ML, not something that ML happens to stand for. Though as others have said, the same is true of BASIC and COBOL.

"A Tour of SML" is still an abbreviation, is less clear for anyone who knows what Standard ML is, and is not the original title.

The first two hits that come up when I type ML into the algolia HN search (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...) are

"ML From Scratch, Part 1: Linear Regression" (301 points), which is about machine learning

and

"ML for the Working Programmer, 2nd Edition" (266 points), which is about ML

Which is the more ambiguous? Noting that the second one is about a thing whose name is ML, while the first is about a thing that is sometimes casually abbreviated to ML.

> I'm pretty sure with any brick and mortar business, as a business owner you are legally allowed to disallow service to anyone without having to provide a reason.

It depends, you aren't allowed to restrict access for privileged reasons (i.e. banning all black people from your business is a clear case of discrimination and is specifically illegal), but otherwise you have a lot of levity to refuse persons entry - but that "without having to provide a reason" is just apparent because it is very infrequently challenged - if someone feels they were wrongly refused service they absolutely have the right to sue and require you to state why that ban took place, but, as your business is owned by you a ban made by you is legal until overturned, either early (as in a preliminary injection) or as a result (after the ruling on a case).

It's hard to pull real world analogies for this case, as well, since Amazon is never worried about other customers being dissuaded from a purchase because I'm shopping in my boxers, or am shouting and creating an unsafe environment - so there's a limit to how well you could tune a real world example to this scenario... but I might give it a try with this:

I run an absolutely 'grammable business, there's bubbly pink champagne and gold everywhere - including the stoop. I like to use that fancy stoop to attract new customers but I've been a bit concerned lately that a city tour guide has regularly been bringing around their tour and they're taking selfies of my business from across the street - that tour guide is profiting from the decoration I've put into my stoop and some of those tourists might've been willing to pay the modest 300$ fee to walk in and take selfies inside! So I try to get the city to restrict the tour guide from being able to lead his tourists to take selfies from across the street. It's very possible I could remove the glitzy decorations from my stoop but that would impair my advertising, which I don't want to do - instead I want to legally restrict people from using my stoop in a manner I did not intend.

I think that's pretty apt in a few ways but it also misses the fact that LinkedIn is technically paying a bit of money every time someone loads a page - and if the tour guide was noticeably damaging my stoop I would be able to sue him for damages and probably win, but the cost of that page load is so utterly negligible that maybe we can ignore it.
They pay waaaaaaay more to keep their people. And there are powerful incentives at work - competition would seriously diminish their rewards.
It's part of the Intent system in Android. It's a really nice system where you can say "someone open the file with this URL and mime type" and the system asks the user which app they want to use to open it (or use their default if they set one.

It all works really well and lets app be loosely coupled to each other. It's also super flexible so you can use it for lots of different use cases. The API itself hasn't changed much since the first release of Android.

The issue is that you can query the Intent system to see if there is an app installed that can open your Intent. On the face of it, this makes a lot of sense. You could then display an error message to the user asking them to install and app that can handle it. The problem is that you can create an Intent that you know can only be handled by a single app (using the package name) and then you'll know if it's installed or not.

For what it's worth, iOS used to have exactly the same issue. You could query the phone could handle a specific "custom protocol scheme" (used for deep linking). You could then just query a scheme which you know is for a specific app and tell if the user had it installed. Apple fixed this by requireing you to include a predefined list of schemes which you can query for in your Info.plist (manifest file) and limiting the number you can have (30 I believe).

All APIs with good intentions, but very easy to abuse. Apple is just more comfortable breaking backward compatibility to fix these sorts of issues.
This is where pseudonymous identities make a lot of sense.

In a world where organizations are radically transparent and individuals have radical privacy, before you join the disease support group or donate to the ACLU, you already know the organization's records about that transaction will be public information.

You can restrict your activities to organizations that do not keep personally identifiable information. Or you could join the support group with a pseudonymous identity or donate cryptocurrency to the ACLU.

> This is what machine vision will do to everyone with its false positives.

That's definitely an impossible scenario, because it's not sustainable to interrogate every entrant into the country for an hour. So it's likelier that the ML algorithm will acquire bias to tone down the likelihood of false positive (at the tradeoff of occasional false negatives).

I love the way you put this. My team is in the middle of an IMO largely pointless port of working code from Scala to JS, because some senior people think Scala is icky...

(Even though my team is a JS team, I don't think JS is a better language than Scala. To the objection I get: "we can't find Scala engineers" I point out that JS engineers on my team have had to learn to read Scala in order to port the code, so they're halfway there already...)
