> Johnson instead offered a suite of soft advice—people with symptoms should stay home; no school trips abroad; people over 70 should avoid cruises.

So to be clear, even the most "do nothing" approach was not "do nothing", and at that time, people were alread voluntarily starting to socially distance.
> A violent impact could generate the forces necessary on a small scale to create micro black holes.

If there are extra dimensions that make it especially easy to create a black hole.

Otherwise, you're looking at a Planck mass of 22 micrograms as a lower bound. It's effectively impossible for a violent impact to cram that much matter/energy into a single subatomic point.
I think that’s a typo. Objective-C, as you may know, is about as old as C++ (Wikipedia says it’s from 1984 and C++ from 1985, but both were evolved over several years, so I wouldn’t categorically say Objective-C is older)

I think Objective-C++, basically an implementation of Objective-C that makes it possible to link with C++, must be from 2000 or later, but even a semi-exact date isn’t easy to find (probably in Clang’s release notes)
How many people are talking about these wheels?

It's like "have you seen how much Apple are charging for their Mac Pro wheels?!?!"

And people are becoming aware that the Mac Pro exists.
How do these work, i.e. there doesn't seem to be anything in the center of the wheel. How do they work?
I just started Earth Defense Force 4.1 and realism has no part in it [1]. It's a b-movie type video game with hilarious so-bad-its-good dialogue and "story" that is the work of a complete nutjob.

100 million things are constantly happening on screen while gundam type space robots fire plasma at you, some Independence Day ship in the background blows up a city and a horde of ants charges your troop.

All at consistent 60fps with early PS2 graphics and gameplay (almost all weapons have infinite ammo).

It's a true video game at heart and realism doesn't stand in the way.

I took part in a survival server around 2010 where everyone slowly got to know each other and their quirks. Built a giant base with a friend with a 100x100 hole down to bedrock and a glass top which you could walk on. The main entry to the base was a large pyramid.

I think it does if the product isn't seen as best-in-class. I mean, whichever kind of fanboy you are, you have to agree that a late-model iPhone is an absolutely excellent phone. That's a different question from whether it's worth the money. I am guessing that these wheels are also excellent but that Apple hasn't communicated that well. They don't talk about how these wheels are great. They just say that they are wheels.
I'd like to know which users desired a web-based e-mail client 20 years ago. It is my impression that this kind of software is very much push, not pull - i.e. the idea comes from the vendor, not from customers expressing a demand. Which is not a bad thing in itself (a big part of progress is speculative creation); I just don't like the unspoken assumption that companies do things because customers want them to, it's not always true (almost never in B2C).

Not to compare, but I spent a couple days at an airport stranded, sleeping on my mattress and a sleeping bag. It was fairly comfortable with wifi, toilets, and other basics available at no cost or trouble. It kinda made me realize that it serves the purpose of someone in a situation like that.

Totally agree. It doesn't matter how well Ubuntu studio runs, it doesn't have the right apps. And likely never will. Wine is a non starter. And the stability of such a system is generally unproven as many vsts have no official Linux support. I'd love to try it if fl studio or reason or similar had a Linux port. Or Linux had an audio app that could compare; it doesn't. Until then, there's nothing compelling.

These options are so soft that they really are equivalent to doing nothing. Sick people have always been told to stay home; trips abroad and on ships might cause visible clusters early on, but they're a drop in the bucket later when the disease is already at home.

The real issue is that a strong response causes people to take things seriously, and a weak response causes them to not take it seriously. In other words, just like the model, we have a situation where predicted results inform the actions taken, which affect popular opinion, which in turn change the predicted results.

Yes, the optimal outcome is to somehow have the government do nothing, thus restricting nobody's freedoms, but simultaneously have society take it so seriously that they eradicate the disease themselves in two weeks. But that is not a genuine policy option.

As others said, user != customer. A big chunk of software (perhaps the majority) is bought by someone other than the end-user. Think workplace, or all the OEM garbage that ships with your phone.

On top of that, on the mass market, customers don't have a meanigful choice. They can't signal desires in the entirety of concept space; they choose out of what's available on the market. Which means the choice really lies with the vendors.
Yes, and it's a pretty terrible one. It normalizes language used by a... let's say very controversial figure. Transplanting it to contexts where it might make some sense serves to validate the original use.

If someone critical of the US President "ironically" uses the phrase, as in "Foo is slow, so let's make Foo fast again", they inadvertently construct or reinforce a notion of "America was not great, which is why we needed to make America great again" -- something they might not agree with. Also, it's just constantly giving more exposure to someone who already has way too much of it. They would be running a political figure's propaganda for them. Many people will want to do that, but also very many people would not want to do it and should think a bit about a slogan's context before adopting it.

(I'm aware that others across the US political spectrum have used the phrase in the past. It doesn't matter, it is currently very strongly associated with one person.)

This is really weird. I've stuck to Apple as much as possible since 2012 precisely because their handling of text is consistently top-notch on good screens without having to do anything. But according to you and the other guy above, that's wrong, because the default experience should be "old tech first". It's a bit like saying that tablets and phones should have a serial port instead of USB-C because "not everyone can afford a better cable".
Stencil The fastest way to double your social engagement
I'm personally curious how far we could go with using just canvas and wasm. If we focused on making a browser that was just incredibly efficient and focused at using wasm and webgl, and had no other concerns, a lot of the cruft could be cut. Then any given "page" would essentially just expose the canvas for wasm to draw to, and GUI frameworks like Qt (which already can compile to wasm I believe) could just target this. We could then have different UI toolkits targetting this model, and hopefully even have something akin to Flash without being the same security nightmare.

Keep the current browser stack for the things it still makes sense for - static content like articles and blogs, and forums too, but anything with greater complexity and reactivity would run faster and get better gains from just abandoning html/js completely, and browsers themselves could stem the unending march of feature creep.

I'm just spitballing here, I'm not sure I think this is actually a good idea - you'd be losing a lot of accessibility you get for free with HTML for example, but I'd like to see some experiments in this area to see how far this could go.
Yes they have architected it so well that it performs amazingly well. The plugin architecture is well done too. The memory consumption goes up only when the plugins consume more memory as all of them run in separate processes. In the future, I'm thinking that they might start to replace parts of the app with WASM and make it even more performant. But I'm pretty sure it's not going to be the entire application.

Nevertheless, they have a somewhat easy path to migrate in the form of AssemblyScript which is a subset of Typescript that compiles to webassembly. The future of VScode is exciting!!

It's not even the ability to bookmark it. It's basic stuff like the ability to restart my computer (e.g. because Windows demands that for updates), and go back to the same exact spot I've been at. For desktop apps, this works. For web pages that are just web pages, it works. But with something like Facebook, if you close a tab in which you've been scrolling through the feed, that state is forever lost.

I don't think starting from the EMH is correct either, I suspect nobody really knows why the US stock market doesn't reflect the deepest recession since the 1930s, though of course everyone has opinions. The market may simply be wrong in its assessment of risk at this time (it tends to swing wildly around the true future returns), or the recession might be very short (as mr market currently believes).

Sadly for IntelliJ the documentation is lacking.

Build a Throttle the TDD Way
I understand the move from a business perspective. This will probably drastically lower their support costs (no more unknown hardware), increase their licensing revenue (no more compatible peripherals without Apple taking a cut) and drastically increase lock-in.

However, I am now watching from the sidelines, as Apple computers are no longer an option for me. I cut my teeth on DOS (3.1 maybe?), then Windows, and started using Linux occasionally in 1996. As I was weaning myself off of Microsoft platforms towards Linux full-time, Apple introduced the x86 Mac (2006).

At that time, it felt like Apple cared about the "engineers" again. (Whether that be software development, scientific computing, etc.). Previously, all of the designers I knew swore by Apple, but serious computing happened on Windows or Linux.

But finally, this was Unix, with a beautiful GUI, on the open platform I cared about. (I've written in assembly, written an assembler, my own boot sector, gui toolkit in the VGA/MCGA days, so I care about x86). From 2006-2019 my primary computer has always been a Mac of some kind (always Linux on the server, Mac on the desktop). The last couple of years, I've felt pushed away from the Mac (hardware limitations, keyboard issues, locking down of hardware/software) and started experimenting off-platform again.

Apple seems to have forgotten lessons from it's own history (whether that be the initial problems with the Lisa, or the great success of the first open/unix version of its OS, or how iPhone usage exploded with the comparative opening up of the platform for development).

Don't get me wrong, this isn't anti-ARM sentiment, I now run an ARM linux server alongside my x86 server cluster. If Apple releases an open ARM Macbook, I'll be truly surprised, because I think Apple has been saying for awhile now that it no longer cares about an open computing platform.

So, goodbye Apple, thank you for the good years. I hope that this is just another wave, and you'll come back to open computing in my lifetime.

My current Catalina MBP (and all OS since I bought that machine) apparently cannot handle multi-users well.

Constant strange bugs, flashing login screens and freezing apps (if used by multiple users). Changes to settings cause password/TouchId confirmation popups for the other user that block the system.

If I am logged into two accounts, opening the MBP will show a login screen for user A, then open the desktop for user B (didn't want to see that), then quickly flash to a login screen for user B and upon entering the password/TouchId flashing back to the main login page and voila, you can finally login as expected.

It's so strange.

Now imagine that you did use one of those swear words. Imagine the attention you would garner. People would know that something is dreadfully wrong.

My high school English teacher taught that all words can be used either skillfully or unskillfully -- swear words included. Knowing when to use the word and when not to use the word is part of having proficiency in the language.

Of course, trying to arrange your life so that you don't have to use that particular proficiency does seem like something good to aim for ;-)

The article is somewhat inconsistent. In one place, it says he has a criminal record; in another, it says he is wanted. I suspect the word "not" got left out as Germany would take him if he was wanted. Also, he wouldn't have visas for several countries as it says in the article. I think he simply doesn't want to go back to Germany and is happy to stay put until he is able to continue his travel on his terms.

By what measure? Majority of individual 'products'? Majority of programmers? Majority of investment? Majority of revenue?

I think that at best what you're describing is a thin simple majority by some of those metrics. But there are so many developers working on factory automation, networking, gaming, small embedded systems (anything with a chip in it, from washing machines to cars), not to mention the huge frameworks that power am off the simple apps you are taking about - Linux, Windows, Chrome, Firefox, Android, iOS, the major SQL DBs, the major NoSQL DBs, the language tools for all of these, the web servers, the distribution frameworks at Google/Facebook/Microsoft/Amazon and so on.

While the number of core technologies is obviously easily dwarfed by the number of applications, the number of people working on each of these core technologies is so large that I can't believe your assumption.

Also, some of these industries, particularly gaming, and maybe networking as well, are so huge in terms of revenue, that I don't think CRUD apps could win on that side either.

Two things:

First, this is not about Apple, but rather about Intel.
The 10th gen chips are very expensive, but they can't compete with AMD offer and this should be pretty clear to everyone right now.
Anyway, this isn't just true for the MBP: we could make the same article for pretty much every premium laptop that uses Intel instead of AMD such as the Dell XPS, the X1 Carbon, the MS Surface Laptop/Book.

Secondly, what really matters in a laptop is the cooling system. Geekbench is nice to get a general idea of what a chip is capable of, but to understand how much the laptop can take advantage of it, you should run some stress tests. In this scenario, the base MBP can sustain ~25W while the higher end model goes up to ~30W. Most laptops in this category limit the chip to ~15W and sometimes they have to go even lower than that. I'm not saying that the Swift will be bad, but Geekbench doesn't really say much about that.

So sure, every occasion is good to scream "Apple bad", but this really isn't surprising
