My feeling is that Apple beancounters have decided macOS is mostly a gateway to Xcode for iOS development, anything else is just to help sell laptops. The stuff in "anything else" doesn't need to actually work well, just exist so it can be something on the features list.
Your comments comparing worker threads to what can be achieved on the jvm (or natively) with multithreading is just a sad display of ignorance. Even more sad is the tone you used.

If this is intended to be a VSCode alternative, where are the download area? Why the strong emphasis on cloud? A version 1.0 with no package released? need top run it on docker?

I don't want to sound negative, I would really want to download it an try it... but from what I see in a quick glance, they want me to setup a whole cloud to use this, not how I envision an editor that is trying to take on the most popular editor nowadays
But why ? What is the point ?
There is already Visual Studio(free community edition equivalent to Professional Edition), Visual Studio Code, IntelliJ. Why waste more time and effort to re-invent the wheel ?

You are mixing up how branch prediction works with how processing unit works.

One of those only worth of time to learn as hardware engineers, but understanding both of them will give you an introduction to Spectre vulnerability.

I just got a 2020 Civic. There are touch screen control, but volume, music, climate control (up and down, not which vents), tuner, cruise control, and a number of other things are all physical buttons and knobs. I mostly have Android Auto up with music and map going on the touch screen while actually driving anyway, so more physical interfaces are a-ok by me.
That is no argument in this discussion, IMHO - what does it change? The discussion is about the language (and in case of Java, the runtime) and it's machine abstraction, which is nearly the same for Java and C, even if JVM was written in Lisp.

Considering our energy needs it's not possible for large amounts of people to cohabitate with nature without altering nature. So yes, the mere (permanent) existence of humans in some area will inevitably alter nature and thus not be what we consider pristine nature anymore.

"...that enable developers, organizations, and vendors to create new, extensible solutions that avoid the fees associated with VS Code."

What fees are they talking about? VS Code is not my regular editor, but the whole thing seems to indicate confusion between "Visual Studio" and "Visual Studio Code". I am missing something or is the Eclipse Foundation really conflating the two?
It sounds like they quarantined everyone that was in close contact with someone that got COVID-19. We can argue about whether or not they quarantined the appropriate number of people / wide enough, but given the size of a warehouse, I don't agree that it is reasonable to shutter the entire warehouse based on 1 person.
While I think people need to chill out on Zoom I can't find any alternative standards for end to end with HIPPA. Zoom fucked up here.
Same here, we used hangouts for the longest time but it got worse. Zoom just works perfectly all the time.
Thank you for commenting. Too many arm chair economist talking out their bums in these threads. I'm always reluctant to even look at these discussions now a days due to the poor quality of the comments, but your comment gives me hope.
Not really binary bets or\day trading are gambling, if you can afford it and have spare cash it would make sense over the long term to invest - though not in individual shares for most.

> the screen content can be exposed. Consider for example the linked screenshot.

That's funny, because the effect there is obviously intended, because, uh, it looks cool.

> For a screen saver of the last millennium this was a suitable solution

It's true that this particular effect was much more impressive in the 90s. Personally I use the 'blank' demo in xscreenaver. Which I guess I could replace with the script in TFA without noticing much.

> Today users also expect the current time, battery state and many more information on the lock screen. We need to provide accessibility features which is not possible in XScreenSaver.

I don't see why this is not possible with Xlib. Yes I have written Xlib code. Seems to be just an "omg xlib is so old" argument, and things being old does not by itself make them incorrect.

> We need DBus integration

> and logind integration

Says who? I certainly don't need these.
The example I gave, yes. No assembler code can have anything to do with micro-ops; they're implementation specific.

On x86, a lot of instructions are close matches, yet some are removed entirely (say "xor eax, eax") or fused into one micro-op, (like "cmp #123, eax / je <address>").

Future CPUs might even do some data flow analysis to optimize code even further.

Say speculative "constant" folding based on runtime profile to remove chunks of code from hot inner loops.

Or to replace longer instruction patterns with HW optimized implementation, if that's what it takes to get some extra performance for the next year's model.

Depends on the circumstances of his contact, what parts of the site he was in, who he came into contact...etc. I'm not sure one potential case warrants the entire warehouse being shuttered if appropriate disinfection and continued monitoring are in place. They seemed to catch his exposure via some string of events, so there is some effort in risk analysis happening.
It raises the question of how to protest in the age of quarantine.

I agree that breaking quarantine is bad, but let's look at his side of this. Amazon has the ability to shut down any protest or picket by alleging that an attendee was sick, or that a strike organizer was exposed.
Yesssssss
You think that Amazon makes hundreds of billions in profits?

People have been recording brain activity for decades, but the scale is very different. Until about 10-15 years ago, most labs were using a handful of electrodes (my PhD work, for example, was done with 1-2 at a time). With cheaper amplifiers, it's become more common to use arrays with ~32-96 electrodes and they're often implanted chronically in the brain.

Neuropixels are fairly new and offer ~300 channels (selectable from ~1000). The neuralink thing would increase this another 10-fold.
One of the best features of switching from Android to an iPhone is the physical mute switch. Whenever I'm going into a meeting, I can mute my phone without taking it out of my pocket. With Androids (At least, version 6 from when I left) you have to take it out and go through all the separate volume menus. It was so refreshing to have the confidence that my phone wouldn't vibrate or disturb others during a meeting.
Looks like that's for macOS 10.15.0 as version.h for that OpenSSH release is for 7.9p1 (macOS 10.15.4 has OpenSSH 8.1p1).
Does Amazon's instruction to him to stay home override his rights as an employee to organize and participate in collective action?

I don't actually know the answer. But in general, I'm guessing that you can't end a strike by ordering all employees to stay home and then firing them if they don't.
What if--and stay with me for a moment--what if it's good for different manufacturers to have different approaches to the problem, giving people the option to choose Honda for buttons or Tesla for touchscreens?

What if there are legitimate arguments for both and it's good that there's both options available?
You have some serious prejudiced opinion about how to effectively do work division to achieve either for concurrency or parallelism.

My only suggestion read some concurrency patterns and most importantly try to implement them using modern JS features before making such statements.

At some point, the question of "well-defined C program" is philosophical. Let's get down to brass tacks: If someone sat down and wrote this, would it happily compile? Would it compile under some compilers and configurations but not others? Would it throw warnings instead of errors under some configurations? Which of these configurations are the default configurations? Which non-default configurations are considered best practices? How complex are the best practices, and how widespread is knowledge about them?

In short, how much does the concept of a "well-defined C program" differ from the concept of a "C program" as implemented in practice? Can we say that most C programs, or even a medium-sized percentage of C programs, are well-defined?
No, branch prediction is not involved with what I was talking about.
That creation myth rather falters on the fact that a fair number of languages had already emerged. This was the 1970s, not the 1950s. No-one expected language namers to follow some universal alphabetic convention beginning with BCPL.
Facebook was the next Google, Google the next Microsoft. Analogies are never perfect, but that's what I meant. The next big thing, in terms of cash returns to early/mid investors.

For the purposes of this argument "next Twitter/Instagram/LinkedIn/etc" work too. WeWork bought meetup for $150m. They sold it for less. Facebook is worth thousands of times more.

My point is that considering the price of meetup, the odds of turning it into something worth 10x or 100X bigger create a risk/reward reality that is decisive. That's all.

Your bet on "$0.5-2B companies in the B2B space," works fine in this context.

I do hope other automakers follow, because why should a head-unit should be considered safe to operate while driving, while touching a smartphone display isn't.

Both lacks the tactile feedback buttons are offering, both don't work with gloves and both requires you to look at the display (and stop looking at the road) to know what action you're making.

I will never understand how this trend started in the first place. If you look at e.g. digital cameras, they all have touch screens these days, but they also still have buttons and dials everywhere. The one in front of me has eight physical buttons, seven dials and a power switch. The reason is obvious: when you're taking photos, you don't want to be looking down at a screen; you want to be focused on the task at hand and aware of what is happening around you. If camera designers know this, why don't automotive designers, where the task at hand is a matter of life and death?
Sure, what kind of tutorials are you interested in? Written form or video? We're thinking about doing a video walkthrough series potentially in live form.

It reduces the amount of endless bruteforce attempts somewhat, so log files are slightly more readable. Although recently this seems to be significantly less effective compared to the previous 20 years...

It does help that there is no overall competitor to MacBooks in terms of ease of use or (now that the butterfly keyboard is dead) build quality.

There are decent build PC laptops but you have to run Windows or Linux on them. Windows is a dumpster fire these days with ads in the start menu, the use of "dark patterns" to herd people into MS cloud, and out of control unnecessary telemetry. Linux is fine only if you have a lot of time on your hands to troubleshoot edge case issues and hunt for drivers. Linux also still (through no fault of its own) can't run a lot of apps that many people need.

My point is companies / policies made based on misleading headlines is often user unfriendly.

If you think privacy is enhanced by all these cookie warnings (when YOU can control / clear etc your cookies) you are probably mistaken.

If Zoom goes to full E2E encrypted chat (this means on-boarding is FAR more complicated than clicking a totally simple URL with some digits) they will likely loose a lot of their market. If they go to E2E encrypted chat and block users from downloading their own chat, even more market share lost.
My car has onboard voice controls, but, unlike Siri via the car's audio system, they suck. Recognition is slow and unreliable enough that I never bother, and if I did, the cognitive overhead would be unacceptably high anyway. They'd have done better not to bother implementing them at all and instead just offload that work to the driver's paired smartphone, which for a sedan that listed $32k new, it's very reasonable to assume will be present.
Ughhh, this is probably where Zoom got the idea from.
Is taking your hands off the steering wheel much better?

Ideally, all controls would be available on the steering wheel without removing either hand. Or, as you say, voice controls.
It also honestly becomes a matter of national security.

Amazon is crucial right now in maintaining social order. It's one thing to be quarantined at home, but to be quarantined without anything arriving to your house is a quick recipe for riots on the streets. Anyone or anything disrupting this is potentially as dangerous as a famine.

I 100% sympathize with the protestor's plight, but it's an interesting situation.
I don't know that Zoom is really going out of its way to obscure that it is not E2E. I never for a second thought they were doing E2E when I enabled the encryption. It was very clear from how the features was described that you got TLS to Zoom's servers, not E2E.
It is, I pulled it from https://opensource.apple.com/release/macos-1015.html.

Video games are simulators of things in real life that are taken to extremes because death in the real world is permanent.

Imagine a cast of actors and you fight them with an airsoft rifle. No computer needed.
Shuttering distribution facilities will send more people to grocery stores and supermarkets. It's not really better on-net to shut down the Amazon delivery chain, as long as you take reasonable measures to disinfect the facility.
If it was actually on-site, yes, Amazon did the right thing. If it was by the street--somewhere any member of the public has free speech--no, but assuming he was exposed to SARS-CoV-2, going out in public is pretty messed up, and pretty hypocritical.
Car audio systems pose greater dangers than texting, pot

My spouse has a 2019 Honda HRV and I hate dealing with the touchscreen while driving. It's cognitively very difficult to do the degree of fine motor control and visual attention the touchscreen requires while also driving safely. It's actually a little terrifying.

I remember reading an article a while back about some manufacturer, can't remember which one, adding a clickable knob to control the "smart" functions. Since so much of what we use a touchscreen for is actually menu selection, that could cover most of what we need to "touch".
I was confused why the screenshot on the homepage (https://theia-ide.org/) looked so outrageously similar to VSCode, so I checked the source. It looks like the editor widget is Monaco (from VSCode) so the text editing experience is entirely based on VSCode and Theia provides an alternative for the surrounding IDE stuff.

Then they added a theme that imitates VSCode as much as possible to create the screenshot on the homepage, other instances like their example of Gitpod look less like VSCode.

Maybe you have a different definition in mind than I do? I'm using microcode to mean sequences of micro-ops. Wikipedia [0] seems to agree, "the microcode is a layer of hardware-level instructions that implement higher-level machine code instructions or internal state machine sequencing in many digital processing elements". My understanding is that with a couple exceptions (IIRC mov and zeroing xor are treated specially as part of register renaming) all assembly instructions get translated into microcode (i.e. a sequence of micro-ops).

Same here, 5 digits and a hostname = no problem. There must be some other factor(s) in play.
One circle unit that strikes me as strange is the "mils" used for military targeting: there are 6400 mils in a circle. The benefit of this is that 1 meter wide at a distance of 1 kilometer corresponds to 1 mil. So if your tank misses the target by 5 meters and the target is 1 km away, you adjust the angle by 5 mils, nice and easy to compute.

A bit of math shows that this unit is a milliradian (since sin 1/1000 ≈ 1/1000). The strange part is that there should be 6283.18... mils in a circle but that's too inconvenient, so they round it to 6400. In other words, they are using milliradians with the value of 3.2 for π.
If it's exposed to the internet, definitely. Port 22 gets hammered.
Yup yup - I'm not defending the status quo as much as just commenting it's not built for the future utopia of self-directed or autonomous private aviation. Commercial aviation puts pressure on Congress now to try and marginalize general aviation due in part to system constraints; every private flight that displaces a commercial one is revenue lost as far as they are concerned.
When it comes to it, I don't think it's as bad. In a manual car one hand is often off the steering wheel and that's not detrimental.
> we have record unemployment

No, there was a record high in the number of people filing for unemployment insurance in a week, which is not the same as a record high unemployment rate.

We certainly might be heading for 10% unemployment rate or more, but we aren't there yet.
I had the same problem on a MacBook after upgrading to 10.15.4. However, I wasn't using a port number higher than 8192, the socket was 75 with a hostname. The problem was solved when I replaced the hostname with its IP or plugged in an Ethernet Cable. I tried to restart mDNSResponder and flush the dns cache and switch to a different DNS server. Nothing works so far.
I don't have any opinion on those. Regardless of how you or I feel about any extra features, the author does seem to have an answer to the security concern.

Well, be careful not to assume that the modern-day loner is the same as the Pleistocene-era loner.

I'm both somewhat shy and very much introverted. I don't like artificially-created social situations. But I'll talk at great length to family members and people I work closely with.

If I were in a Pleistocene tribe where basically I'm surrounded by 120 members of my extended family, coworkers, etc. etc., I'd probably talk a lot more. I like social interactions, I'm just uncomfortable in novel situations and I don't like small talk.
The author didn't say it had anything to do with security. I have one or two SSH daemons out there listening on non-standard ports because of stupid limitations of middleboxes I'm forced to use, or because they're port-forwarded through something that already listens on 22 itself.

Security-wise, it seems pointless; my daemons on random non-standard ports still get hammered, and fail2ban takes care of keeping the log spam down just as easily as it does the ones on 22.
Always seemed like a cargo cult: iphone good; touch good; buttons bad (steve said).

Let’s hope it’s a new trend! I love that my Audi still has tactile buttons and wheels, and was a big factor in choosing it. My previous car had a touch screen and it was so dangerous having to brace my hand for accuracy and stare at my fingers while driving.
