Efficiency and resiliency are different things. If you want resiliency, you plan accordingly - left to its own devices, the capitalist market will always go for ultimate efficiency, that's a primary property of the system. This is not the Soviet Union deciding to do potatoes in one country and cars in another, people take smaller decisions that aggregate up to certain phenomenons. If you don't like those phenomenons, you have to intervene pretty radically.

> This has absolutely nothing to do with isolationism or tribalism.

This has absolutely all to do with tribalism. If industries had closed in France and opened in Belgium, making them operatively indistinguishable from French industries for all intents and purposes (as distance is negligible and half of them basically speak the same language), people would still go on about lacking French industry. Why? Because Belgium is conceptually "not France". Nobody complains (anymore) about a single factory serving an entire country, why should we worry about a single factory serving half a continent? Do you seriously think you should have a widget-making factory in every city or town, for each different type of widget...? "OMG the world might end, we need to be able to make Gucci shoes in every town!"

I do not disagree, but that's something that effectively started 300 years ago and is not going to end anytime soon, unless you enjoy riding horses and going to bed with the sun. We will find alternatives (in some areas we already have, effectively; they are just not equally distributed yet).

You can actually just tap the volume icon on the Touch Bar and slide your finger back and forth immediately and it works; you don't have to tap, then move your finger to the volume slider and move back and forth.

(This is clever, but basically undiscoverable unless someone tells you in, for example, a comment on Hacker News, which is how I found out.)
I'm using the 2018 Mac mini with 32GB RAM and the i7 + 4k monitor, it's great, however compiling Go's Kubernetes client still stresses its CPU. What's the main changes here?

They actually do that a lot. They usually release A(n)X when there's already an A(n+1) available.

Usually, the X version (or in this case, the Z version) is the same architecture as a previous non-letter architecture but with optimized and improved multi-core performance achieved with new components and likely some overclocking. They are also likely optimized to handle workloads differently since they are put in devices that are meant to work differently than a handheld phone.

The X versions seem to be optimized to take full advantage of the larger batteries available in the iPads or for non-battery devices like the Apple TV.

I don't think there are X CPUs that were put in iPhones, so far (I could be wrong, though).

I really didn't mean this as a gatekeeping comment, but yes, you are right.

I do think most programmers would benefit a lot from learning the fundamentals of logic, or at the very least boolean algebra. after seeing some of the tortured expressions they write, I certainly wish my coworkers were more familiar with boolean simplification rules and identities.
Honest question here.

I already posted this on Lobsters, but the "1,217 specifications totalling 114 million words" is pretty off-base. To copy my comment from there:

This calculation is wrong. For example searching for HTML[1] reveals different versions of the same document, various informative notes ("HTML5 Differences from HTML4", "HTML/XML Task Force Report"), things no one uses like XForms, and other documents that really shouldn't be counted.

I looked at the full URL list[2] and it includes things like the HTML 3.2 specification from 1997[3]. A quick spot-check reveals many URLs that shouldn't be counted.

I'm reminded by the time in high school when I mixed up some numbers in some calculation and ended up with a door bell using 10A of power. The teacher, quite rightfully, berated me for blindly trusting the result of my calculations without looking at the result and judging if it's vaguely in the right ballpark. This is the same; 114 millions words is a ridiculously large result, and the author should have known this, and investigated further to ensure this number is correct (it's not) before writing about it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the actual word count is two orders of a magnitude smaller; perhaps more.

You were told that rays from the camera would only hit what is visible to the camera.

Also you might want to get upset at Nvidia, AMD, Pixar and every book on computer graphics if getting offended over spelling what you want to focus on.

I was handed a 2017 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM at my current job while waiting for my actual laptop to be delivered, and it was a nightmare.

I keep a lot of tabs open to look things up, but nothing excessive on that machine. I also run VSCode or Pycharm and would also bring up 5-10 containers at times.

It seriously hurt not only my productivity but also my mood afterwards just by having to put up with it for weeks.

Unless you're a very basic user I don't get why you would settle for 8GB in 2020. 8 gigs of RAM cost basically nothing, it's not worth changing your workflow in the slightest to work around that artificial limitation.

> Most languages of any kind do not let you reason about that.

I might as well generalize my statement to:

"Programming languages tend to elevate some ideals before concerns of practical safety, performance or just common sense."

It just wouldn't make as much sense in-context.
Those two words have an extremely fluid definition depending on who you talk to.
Your argument has so many negations that it's impossible to follow.

Article quotes Thiel out of context (NEGATION), exactly reversing (NEGATION) his intended meaning (this is the cost of saying unpopular (NEGATION) things, I guess).
“If your product requires advertising or salespeople to sell it, it’s not good enough (NEGATION)” and “Technology is primarily about product development, not distribution (NEGATION)" appear in Zero to One as the wrong (NEGATION) lessons from the dotcom crash. Thiel is saying this to establish what he doesn't (NEGATION) believe. In fact, that entire chapter is dedicated to convincing techies that sales and advertising do matter (implied NEGATION).

With all due respect, and maybe it's a lack of coffee, but I haven't got a clue what you're trying to say.
Its certainly amazing how much memory consumption has grown. I like to think of it in terms of economics, we could never write today's software using 80s methods. Slack in assembler? Impossible. Kubernetes in C++? Maybe, but there will be security holes, and Go is just more productive. Developers are expensive, very expensive.
True, but now you are in the No True Scotsman weeds.

Government bailouts have been happening regularly for most of our lifetimes. We are incessantly told the US is a Capitalist country. So in the minds of the average citizen, either bailouts are part of the capitalist system, or the US has never been capitalist.

We're going to see "Modern Capitalism" and "Late Stage Capitalism" thrown around with a lot more frequency as corporations exert their power and we struggle to define what we are seeing.

If we had more consciousness and weren't so confused by 50 years of Cold War brain rot we would just call our age Late Stage Plutocracy or something.
What are the chances that these components will be portable to other unix-likes?
I don't know. I don't necessarily think it's efficient for businesses to keep cash on hand for weathering events of a magnitude that have literally never happened in the history of their industry. I think that's a little too conservative and people would not like the drag that imposes on the economy if the rule were to be applied universally. I don't think it's a sign of poor management that the airlines did not foresee the possibility their whole industry would be entirely shut down for a year or more.

It would definitely be painful to run XCode and iOS Simulator on a used MacBook Air, but not impossible. Price-wise, however, it's hard to beat a Hackintosh. Here, for example, is a $300 build: https://hackintosher.com/builds/cheap-hackinosh-2020-300-cat...

I remember being broke out of college and setting one up out of necessity. It's still going! I'm typing on it now. It needs a motherboard/processor upgrade, _maybe_, these days. Still one of the best cost-saving decisions I've made in my life. And it just plain feels good to not have to throw out / recycle a laptop every five years. They're terrible for the environment.

There are shops that will build the hardware for you. Setting up the bootloader is still the hardest part, but it gets easier with each iteration of the Hackintosh software ecosystem.
Why uhhh... why wouldn’t people just start writing new components in C#. Surely learning C# is not beyond them?

It’s not like there’s a compatibility issue. Just stop writing it.
It is only new to the iPad - you can look at intel's realsense and microsoft's kinect to check out depth cameras in use for many years already. The integration is what will make it special. We will have to see what the noise is like coming off the camera though. I would guess there will be some SLAM demos of mapping spaces or digitizing objects.
You are mistaking biological utility for economic value.

And even then, water and tuna have very little utility to a biological system that already has plenty of both. The utility of adding more may even be negative.

Think about the long term. Everyone will die. Even the sun. Don't fret over it. Take general precautions, but don't live in constant fear because that is like dying even before your actual death.

Leave some of it to chance. You can't do/control everything. Become a bit humble. Bow before nature, for what it gave in so much abundance, it can take away much as quickly.

Think of millions of under privileged who die more from more common ailments everyday. I don't think they would be least worried about this new virus, because they fight for life everyday and have done so since they were born.

Thank your luck, for you were born at a better place in better times, and try to enjoy each moment as it comes and passes.

Don't feel too ashamed. I also learned a lot from this article and I've been using Linux/Unix boxes for even longer than you.
The premise of this article is false. It’s possible to build a new browser. It’s just not worth it. If you can simply just fork chromium like Microsoft recently did, why would any time restricted project not go that route?

You can remove the google integrations fairly easily and still get patches from the main project for core browser work.

My main point is that Microsoft could have written a new browser instead but they saw it was more efficient to just fork one.
I may be blinkered by my mathematical training, but to me this seems like the obvious thing to do. Here's an attempt to justify it based on common sense, no math stuff required. Suppose you do something like

if(all(requirements)) { proceed; }

If there are no requirements that need to be satisfied, then you should be able to proceed.
The toilet paper industry hates this trick.
A good value trade in program would have been nice. I managed to sell my 2017 15” for a bit under $2000 CAD to upgrade to the current 16”. I would have rather dealt with Apple than deal with hagglers and low ballers.
It is almost universally understood in the vernacular that when someone says "OS like Linux", they mean "A non-specific probably-GNU-Linux distro." The space where that understanding is excepted is when discussing actual kernels.

Much like the vernacular meaning of "A computer" usually includes mouse, keyboard, and monitor, even though those parts are completely interchangeable and you can run a computer headless with remote access (or no access at all, the computer simply churning through whatever program it was pre-loaded with and outputting to some exotic peripheral, or maybe even simply generating heat in the corner with no human-discernable output at all).

> You assume contributing via mailing lists is hard, which it is not.

Well, some OS projects optimise for attracting newcomers whereas some do not and clearly the Linux kernel project doesn't, hence the higher barriers for entry and its even reflected in the comments in this HN thread.

If the goal was to bring in commercial contributors into the Linux Kernel then this is not a problem. But, the Linux kernel isn't in any contributor shortage nor it is hoping to attract non-commercial contributors because they don't need to. For any other less popular open-source OS projects using mailing lists, why do you think they either moved or now do code reviews, contributions on GitLab, Phabricator, Gerrit via a web interface in the first place?

> In the world where one maintainer is using github, the other his private gitlab instance, one is using gerrit, and the third gitea or whatever...

Well guess what? Gerrit, GitHub and GitLab all support send patches via email. The problem is not about preference, its about the starting point for beginners unfamiliar with OS projects and its certainly not the LKML and the Linux kernel. I instead recommended easier OSes (SerenityOS, Haiku, BSDs) to start with by using similar tools (Gerrit, Gitlab, Phabricator) for code reviews before looking at LKML and Linux.

Since the discussion is for attracting beginners into becoming long term contributors to open-source OSes, the starting point is not Linux or LKML. They first should look at easier OSes on GitHub/Lab/Tea or Gerrit to focus on contributing patches without trying or thinking about patch formats or top-posting, rather than starting in the deep-end, frustrating them with do's and don'ts for sending a patch and risking to putting them off altogether.

The Mac Minis are still expensive and underwhelming (even when maxed out) when compared with the top of the range NUCs with even AMD GPUs

I've been considering getting a Mac mini, but haven't committed yet. Can you tell me which NUCs run macOS so I comparison shop?
I've already ordered one. I sold off the last of my Apple products a few years ago. Since then, the MacBook Pro has improved, but MacOS was getting so buggy that I didn't really see he benefit over dealing with Windows (also, I love WSL). iPhones with lightning connectors and no headphone jack offend me. So no thanks. Besides, have you tried the Xperia 5?

But man I miss my iPad. My very expensive and high performance toy with the nearly endless choice of very high quality applications and games.

Android tablet apps are plain awful. There are a few good apps on Windows (6 of them and half haven't been updated in 3+ years) and there are always random lags and endless strange issues with Tablet mode. Never mind that a Windows machine often needs to wake up from suspend vs iPad instant on.
I just looked at mine, no ads. In anyways I do not use start menu to launch apps. I just do Ctrl+Esc or Win key and proceed to type name of the app. 2-3 latters is normally enough to auto-fill result and off you go. I can't remember last time I used mouse to hunt apps in a menu

More CPU cores - 4 up from 2
More storage on base model - 256GB up from 120GB, odd that the rMBA ever launched with 120GB when the 12" rMP shipped with 256GB as standard.
Found a link in your link to something by a Sven Mascheck and found out there is a printf command. Despite having started using Linux in 1997, I still find new things.
Looks like both RAM and SSD are upgradable? I thought they had gone to hardwired everything in the Mini.
I know somebody that does. It's working surprisingly well considering that it has been deprecated since 2001.

Interop with C# is working fine and as long as don't have to do too much in the VB part of your program, you can just use it as a "library" (which is technically isn't because you should only call C# from VB, not the other way around). The only two disadvantages I know of are restriction to 32-bit and no easy CI/CD support. Maybe also that it doesn't support HiDPI forms and Windows just scales it up but who is really expecting that from a 90s technology?
This gets to one of the fundamental limits of for profit operation of businesses, different scales of firm have different incentives. For American Airlines it made logical sense to do stock buybacks, but if the whole of society was in control of American Airlines they would've prioritized service and just paid to keep the operation on life support during the downturn.
I don't know what you like about it? When I use Windows I try to use it to find Control Panels to set up stuff and it does a horrible job at that.

In macOS you'll find Disk Utility by typing "disk utility" in CMD+SPACE, even when you're on a different language system that has it's own name. I couldn't find anything in Windows even when that was the literal name of the panel. And hunting for formerly easy to find settings is one of the things that already drives me crazy in Windows 10.

Also when I type "alert sound" I still find the Sound and Notifications Control Panels even if they're not full matches, but they do deal with alerts.

There's a lot about Windows I like though. It's just not the UX, apart from the Explorer once I exactly set it up as I like it (well it looks the same as Windows 95 mostly).
There are 1 to 1 transpilers between languages (with few exceptions such as LINQ to XML in VB) that are really good.

I've migrated hundreds of thousands lines of VB to C# in past years.

No reason to stress out about things outside your sphere of influence. Look for things you can manage, and work to manage them.

Talk to your manager / hr. Ask about accomodations for your situation (remote work? Different desks? More santizer?). Strive to keep your living quarters sanitized. Don't touch your face. Separate you from your mom as much as possible in your living quarters. If you develop a cough, keep your face covered. As for the wedding, a big event is out of the question for the time being. If it is just a courthouse thing, which I recommend anyway, maybe it will be open, maybe it won't. Go with the flow. Any half-decent relationship can survive that. Build a small surplus of emergency food. Work out with body exercises.

Take things one step at a time. Don't worry about things you can't affect. For those things you can affect, do so, and don't worry.

Take solace that nearly the entire history of mankind has had it worse than you do now.
None of that happens! Kinect is about to turn ten, and only two things that came of various consumer RGBD cameras were Face ID and VTubers.

They're good for tracking and measurement but the data out of them has near zero aesthetic quality especially for its complexity.
I had to do a double take when I saw you’d written ‘VSCode’.

Are you serious? We should be starting with XCode, I mean, given all the rules and restrictions on the platform, it’ll be shocking enough when Apple finally gets XCode into action.

As for VSCode, I’m not even sure what you’d be compiling onto the device, as Swift or Obj-C in XCode is the only way to end up with a .ipa you can run...
Having to re-sign one’s apps every seven days (or pay $99/yr) barely counts, IMO; but yes, jailbreaking is easier than ever on any iPhone s as recent as the X/8.

It absolutely makes sense that you would want to work on a project directed closer to your home.
Ok... I'm not expecting China to actually take responsibility, I just think that they are responsible. What they will actually do is make excuses and threats as you just did. Given we know this, it makes sense to not rely on them for anything important.
I dunno, I used to buy Apples because they had great hardware for a fair price (premium, sure, but if you're in the market for a premium machine...), but my last two machines have been a Dell and a Surface. It's different trade offs, but '\_o_/` I was never wedded to their operating system anyway.

I think he just wants to get this out there and in use by people. It's a fairly harmless drug that can even be taken long term (so long as you don't start hallucinating -- I have) and there are long term effects on respiratory capacity from this infection in some people who might otherwise be healthy.

But I completely agree though that once we're through this, we need proper clinical trials. And people are going to be stupid and overdose or break quarantine and all that stuff...but there's not much you can do about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZamrmTMs6w

Better to have that stuff out there than not, though honestly I think we're going to end up having to have a forced quarantine like China, because whatever we're doing now may not end up working.
