That’s static documentation, aka “AppleScript dictionaries”, which isn’t quite the same thing as true introspection. In combination with Script Debugger’s live object model browser it’s pretty powerful, but also all the more frustrating as you run into common limitations: missing or incompete details, ambiguous definitions, incorrect information, and so on.

Unfortunately the original designers left Apple before the whole system was adequately specced and documented or thoroughly field-trialed, leaving both app developers and users to make blind guesses as to how things should work, and duct-tape over the shortcomings as best they can.

Algebraic effects are going to put OCaml on a next level in terms of expressivity, abstraction and decoupling capabilities of separate tasks. It would be like going from a type system like C, with only concrete types, to parametric polymorphism and/or generics.

Multicore is a very nice addition, but the fact that it is going to be coupled with an effect system is a game changer for the language as a whole.

>If the host OS or the app is compromised, it won't help - the attacker can just steal the codes after they're unlocked by the enclave.

If the host OS or app is compromised, then it absolutely helps! The codes cannot be stolen until the user unlocks.

Considering that the most recent iOS jailbreak was not persistent, due to their chain or trust, this is absolutely helpful. It's one component of defense in depth.

In a system with a properly established chain of trust (as ios and android have now), compromising only one component is not enough to ensure complete user compromise.

In your "advanced threat" example, where a fed compromises a device, powering off and then on the device will hopefully put the device into a trusted state again. Aside from the boot0 exploit that nailed ios a few months ago, a few revealed state-level attacks _were not persistent_. Even here, it helps!

>For physical theft, it only provides a meaningful advantage if the phone is unlocked.

These biometric mechanisms are implemented in such a way that "opportunistic" theft (such a as a mugging) yields a positive outcome for average users.

>Someone stealing your unlocked phone to get at your 2FA codes is well outside of most people's threat model.

Aside from the aforementioned compromised host example, which has been a problem on android in the past.... 2FA, sure, that's a bit more esoteric... except... not really. Since 2FA can be used for payments, or other sensitive info, we should probably give users the opportunity to protect against. I work for a personal finance company and we enforce biometrics for a 2nd factor on login to help protect against both the compromised host threat, but also to prevent against spousal, familial id theft (more common than you'd think, sadly). Your familial member may know your passcode, but they will be unable to access your financial data.
> Windows seems to be designed for people who aren’t savvy enough to use Linux, and don’t want to buy a Mac

I tried to use Linux on the desktop for years and years and it is dreadful, marginally unusable.

Windows just works great with my hardware and monitors.

I would not use a Windows machine as a server (mostly because I do not know it enough, but also because it does not seem right) and a Linux for desktop.
Why publish anything then ?
This is called “Special English” aka “Simple English” or “Voice of America English”. It is meant to be very clear and straightforward to understand to minimize the possibility of miscommunication and make it so that non-experts of all backgrounds can take away the important messages. Given how important the medicine supply chain is to lots of people’s daily lives, I’m sure they didn’t want this page to seem understandable only by the educated.

We do have a pretty good idea of how pandemics spread, and one of the major vectors is people who must remain isolated failing to isolate themselves. Telling people to self-isolate in response to every small risk doesn't prioritize health on net, because it encourages people not to treat self-isolation as a serious thing.
This means better yeilds out of each wafer.

This can potentially help keep scaling alive. Aside from the question of "can we do it", there's always the other question, "at what cost". Instead of an "impossible" tech node, it's conceivable that we could hit a "too expensive to be worth it" tech node. Thus any scheme to keep yields up helps delay that point.

FDA has an entire drug shortage database that is updated daily and publicly accessible. There are tons of drug shortages at any given time, and most of them go back to API (Active Pharm Ingredients) - the raw active chemicals produced in bulk, that are then put into pills, injection solutions etc.

You could probably figure it out from there. My guess is it would be irresponsible for them to name the Mfgr in the press release, particularly if it were a publicly traded company and people are going to jump to uninformed conclusions.

Supply chain security has also been a major focus at FDA over the last ~5 years, basically to ensure there are not "choke points" with respect to approved medicines:

So in general, I appreciate their transparency on this since they have been building up regs around this very type of issue for awhile.

I expect that the US public will be unable to trust the US Government during this outbreak. I'm hopeful that experts like the CDC and other public health officials "leak" information to the Internet or elsewhere so the public can find out what's going on in their country.

I'd recommend not trying to enjoy it anymore, and instead focus on the subject of what you're working on. Once you accept that coding arbitrary stuff just isn't inherently that interesting, you can use it as the tool it is and find something more interesting to work on. I've long since given up trying to understand all facets of my current js stack, and pick it up as necessary. I direct my interest to specific hard tasks and maintain a distance from really caring about the tools. I used to give a shit about HTML semantics and other language syntax bs that doesn't matter, and now I focus on the problem because those things barely matter.
That completely misses the point of FaaS.

Devs don't want to manage VMs. Patching, gold loads, SSH configs, k8s, so on. You write code, you deploy, and you pay only when the function executes. It scales as much as you want it to, as much as it needs to, and quicker even than EC2.

There are very clear benefits to FaaS. It is certainly not for everyone, esp. if you already have a well functioning deployment pipeline.
They may be orthogonal but it's still farcical.

To me, it highlights how incumbent social media companies are easy targets for manipulation. They were never designed to disseminate truths; they were designed to amplify parrots and promote their own growth by capitalizing on trends like "going viral".
This is what I'd expect having worked for ~10 years in pharma. These companies are very sensitive to announcements like these because they can be misinterpreted by the public/media. They'll be trying to find some alternative options and the details of the shortage will become evident from other sources eventually.

My interpretation of your question is that underlying it is a belief that Katherine Johnson ought to have gotten a black bar given that Freeman Dyson got one. Can you elaborate on why you think they both ought to have gotten or neither of them should have gotten one? Would you have asked why Freeman Dyson did not get a black bar if the roles had been reversed?
They tried, but the hierarchy is not well-designed. You want a clear distinction between "program has an internal problem" and "external thing (network, file, database, remote service, etc.) had a problem". You usually want to catch "external thing had a problem" in whatever wanted to talk to the external thing. "Program has an internal problem" usually requires restarting the program.

The public is most certainly interested in ‘problematic’ figures, including those who were banned from Twitter and snubbed of verification.

"The technologies which have had the most profound effects on human life are usually simple. A good example of a simple technology with profound historical consequences is hay. Nobody knows who invented hay, the idea of cutting grass in the autumn and storing it in large enough quantities to keep horses and cows alive through the winter. All we know is that the technology of hay was unknown to the Roman Empire but was known to every village of medieval Europe. Like many other crucially important technologies, hay emerged anonymously during the so-called Dark Ages. According to the Hay Theory of History, the invention of hay was the decisive event which moved the center of gravity of urban civilization from the Mediterranean basin to Northern and Western Europe. The Roman Empire did not need hay because in a Mediterranean climate the grass grows well enough in winter for animals to graze. North of the Alps, great cities dependent on horses and oxen for motive power could not exist without hay. So it was hay that allowed populations to grow and civilizations to flourish among the forests of Northern Europe. Hay moved the greatness of Rome to Paris and London, and later to Berlin and Moscow and New York."
Well, we know that there is a disruption and that as far as the FDA knows it's just the one report so far.

In an administration that frequently gets involved in cover-ups, you can't fault the FDA for trying to disclose as much as they can without causing new problems.

Plus the press release goes on to detail many other areas of FDA's regulatory domain that are also helpful.
There's a mix, so you can request 1:1 office hours whenever you want to speak to a particular partner. The onus is on you to drive the agenda in these.

There are several important reasons why Galileo found Copernicus' heliocentrism more compelling than Ptolemy's geocentrism.

First off, you have to understand the intellectual background. Aristotelian physics dominated Europe at the time. Aristotle held the Earth to be separate from the heavens, with the heavens being the realm of perfect forms. All imperfect objects seek to move to the center of the Universe, which is the center of the Earth, while perfect objects move in circles in the heavens. This was the intellectual foundation of geocentrism.

Galileo was the first human in history to point a telescope at the sky, and what he saw fundamentally undermined Aristotelian physics. The Moon is not a perfect form: it has mountains, just like the Earth. Not everything revolves around the Earth: Jupiter has its own moons that orbit it. The Sun is also not perfect: it has spots. Galileo also did mechanical experiments that demonstrated the principle of inertia (Newton's first law), which further undermined Aristotelian physics. With Aristotelian physics out the window, the strong intellectual bias towards geocentrism was also gone. Until Galileo's telescopic observations, he himself had been a geocentrist, like most people.

If you then look at geocentrism and heliocentrism with fresh eyes, there are a lot of appealing aspects of heliocentrism.

* Geocentrism needs epicycles to explain even the most basic elements of planetary motion (retrograde motion). Heliocentrism already explains retrograde motion without any epicycles. Not only that, but heliocentrism correctly predicts exactly where (in relation to the Sun) retrograde motion occurs. In the geocentric model, retrograde motion could occur anywhere, but in the heliocentric model, it has to occur when planets are opposite the Sun, and lo and behold, that's exactly where it occurs.

* The Jovian system and the Earth-Moon system also suggest that small objects orbit larger objects, according to some as-of-yet (at Galileo's time) undiscovered principle. Why would the Sun (which was then known to be much larger than the Earth) orbit the Earth?

* The phases of Venus decisively rule out Ptolemy's model. In order to save geocentrism, you have to invent some weird geo-heliocentric hybrid model (Tycho's model). To many people, a pure heliocentric model was much more appealing, and the hybrid model appeared to be an awkward attempt to save some of geocentrism.

Don't browsers have media queries for things like that?

I think some old browsers didn't, so I guess that's why there are all those tacky switches on blogs these days, but I don't usually worry about obsolete things like "made for netscape 4" banners...

I also think for an application, I'd much prefer my settings on the server so I can get them again when I'm using another device.
You seem to be confusing mutable variables with mutable references. A name, in Python, is a mutable cell that holds a reference. Python names definitely correspond to mutable, not immutable variables in Rust.

Is there anyone but me who uses the premium article on medium.com as a filter for what is NOT worth my time?

I believe in the tech space the majority of readers who write in depth worth to read articles are not incentivised by a few dollars kickback from their hard work from medium.com. They often write it for personal profile enhancement or company blog marketing reasons and want to reach maximum audience and will keep it free for all.

The problem nowadays though is that medium.com is often able to trick them by making the article premium through deceptive ui even when that is not their intention. Just look at the googlecloud medium blog and you constantly see premium articles there which seems bizarre.
