They’re looking to build demand over time by making Swift available in as many places as possible.

And this is the Swift Open Source team, not Apple specifically. It’s not an Apple business decision (aside from lowering the learning hurdle for new iOS projects)

They aren't magicians, or doing something only they can do. In fact, name any other job that pays as well, even for failure. As mentioned earlier they take no risk and get all the reward. C level pay is the biggest scam of our time. And nice dodge with the ad honinem. A third option was presented as reducing c level pay and your response was to call anyone critical of thus bullshit an armchair expert. Why is your opinion so weighty? Bigger arms on your chair?

Both are valid IMO. Of course you wouldn't choose a spineless clown who only knows to please the others but not actually do any real work (though admittedly this might be what's actually happening in some places). But on the contrary, you probably also wouldn't choose somebody who only does 10x work but has endless toxic conflicts with the others and can't cooperate/earn mutual respect.
Interesting. Does anybody know why Slackware hadn't used pam before (apart from general dislike of bloat)? I mean being RedHat's first original contribution to Unix AFAIK it's rather old at this point, and even RedHat now focus on enterprise cloud (open shift, cri-o, podman, buildah, etc) where supposedly "container" auth based on OIDC and authz is preferred (but not sure actually since they also advertise sssd to route pam requests to hosts).
(1) Black-Litterman is literally the only useful thing to come out of GS ever.

(2) LTCM employed a Nobel winning economist too. Was that "brain trust" the source of PnL, or was it cheap leverage?

Fun fact on LTCM and GS and 1998: according to Lowenstein's account, the GS banker who came to diligence LTCM during the fed-forced bailout was seen furtively reviewing a laptop in a corner. The next day, all the positions recorded in that laptop moved sharply against LTCM... surely this was a coincidence. Great culture they have over there at Vampire Squid, Inc.

The sentiment that less space = better annoys me.
It's also brought up in defense whenever someone criticizes the HN-Design.

The old design [1] only used less space because its buttons were way too small and impossible to understand - Bad on desktop, unusable on mobile.

The new design uses more space to clearly label every button and differentiate between actions and information. _And_ it looks better doing it.

I wonder how many commenters actually read the article posted here. The validity of this general statement is something worth debating, for sure, but in this particular case, it doesn't seem like that Chairman Phillipson "doesn't know what he's talking about", as the author seems to be suggesting. But rather, he's trying to defend his political position, for some political aims (remember that he's a politician now, instead of an academic publishing a paper). It would be quite untenable (though of course not impossible), for a chairman to join force with opinions bashing the results published by his own agency, especially when some clear political antagonism exists.

In many situations, it's not that the person doesn't know what they're talking about or is "bluffing", but that they are deliberately presenting a position that fits their current role and benefits them in some way. I totally agree that the former does happen, but those two things are really distinct, and if the author conflates those two and throws out a blanket claim that "stats is hard", it's not really helpful.
UBI is not socialism. Compared to jobs programs, welfare and almost anything else the government does, it is less centrally managed.

AFAIR on Linux shebangs only support single argument so it would fail in this case. One can overcome this treating the file as a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
# make ignores next line \
set -e
# make ignores next line \
exec make -f "$0" "$@"

Make treats slash-escaped new lines as a continuation even for comments, shell does not.

From the condition:

> You can only upload videos to PeerTube - not to YouTube or anywhere else.

I'm not sure this is the best approach. As it stands now, the reality is that platforms like YouTube have vastly more users than peertube. Why not allow uploading to platforms like YouTube, but instead prefacing the video with a link to the PeerTube video? This way the content creator can get more views and PeerTube instances will get more exposure to potentially new users.
Chans have WebM support as well! Much better format in every way!
I think they are choosing react native because they genuinely like react.

I don’t remember which video it was exactly, but one of the higher ups talked about future technologies within Microsoft and how they were doing more and more GUI-based thing with react. And if you look at it, they’ve done pretty amazing things within the JavaScript eco-system in general. Office 365 is amazing, Visual Studio Code is amazing and it just wouldn’t make sense for them to go from typescript to dart.

Especially when you consider how unfinished flutter is. We’re a C#/power shell with a little Python shop with a lot of Enterprise Microsoft techs. We still considered Flutter because Xamarin wasn’t working out for us and we’re not big on JS or big enough to do native, but flutter just doesn’t fill our needs either. That’s anecdotal, but the difference is that react and react native are proven techs and flutter still isn’t.

Creating a good cross-platform

language.

Way way way way way harder, I'd think. It's basically never been done in the modern era. All the successful ones from the past look (and work) like garbage on a modern desktop computer (I use gnucash for my dad's business, ha ha).

SwiftUI is an interesting re-think, though, and as a Windows 10 user, I can tell you that the current "native" experience sucks green potatoes. There are like 9 or 12 different UI technologies I must interact with each month. All with different text sizes and massively inconsistent UI paradigms.

So I think there is an opportunity here.

But, I bet SwiftUI → Web will come first. And if that happens, SwiftUI on Windows, and desktop Linux, will be a no-brainer and will happen.

And if it doesn't happen, then probably SwiftUI won't matter outside of the Apple ecosystem, and that will mean Swift won't matter much in the end, either. (EDIT: I don't mean Apple need do this and I don't expect they will. But SwiftUI is just an API; anybody could port it to whatever environment they want, and there are already some nascent third-party efforts to implement it for HTML/web.)

> The second set of digits represents major releases. The third set represents point releases.

It's called being facetious. Regardless, Xcode definitely does not use the 2nd digit for major releases[1], which does require 10.15.

> Windows Vista…

Completely irrelevant.

> Also, if your machine supports 10.14, it supports 10.15. The last MacBook Pro that dropped support for anything more recent came out in 2011.

Yeah, the reality for my machine is that the upgrade did not take, which is funny considering I only tried to upgrade because of the Xcode requirements.

Perhaps we should eliminate dividends and shift to buybacks and fractional shares. Then stockholders could choose when to cash out but would reinvest by default.

Yes they will be higher. Other companies that don't treat employes that badly, whether out of goodwill or due to being in places with more regulations, will be more competitive.
You can write proprietary kernel drivers. Why can't you link user code with kernel? User code usually depends on POSIX interface and Linux is just one of the implementations.
OCaml shops, both of them.
I don't buy from Amazon because they're the cheapest, but because of the convenience and the excellent support. I wouldn't mind at all if they raised all prices 10-20% to pay their workers better.
> What prevent you from releasing code "all the time"?

Sometimes the same thing that prevents you from giving away all the results of your work for free. Can I have a copy of the code you're writing for your employer now? Surely everything you work on is made freely available to the public in its entirety. I hope you weren't just virtue signaling but doing the opposite in exchange for a salary.
A stock is worth whatever people will pay for it. However it's fair to point out that the price does not match the underlying asset or its future growth.
This is definitely my favorite and retains the unique HN look.

Check your password manager settings. Most have options to match on domain, subdomain, port or have the ability to set equivalent domains either globally or per credential.
You can estimate the earnings yield you get on a business based on its price. So, if you have a lemonade stand that earns $100 per year, and you buy it for $100, that’s a great price. You’ll make your money back in a year. After that it’s profit, baby! If you pay $100000, it’ll take 1000 years to earn back your original investment in nominal terms. But it still might be an OK investment, if you are very certain that you can double earnings every year for long enough.

That’s basically how you evaluate what to pay for a company. When you buy stocks, you buy fractional ownership in a company.

Edit: many think the market is overvalued, because it’s currently at historically high price relative to the estimated earnings potential. This, while risk of insolvency for many companies is much higher.
> Is it correct to think of it as application code running as PID 1 in kernel space?

getpid exists and returns a number - in fact it can return any number you like :-) Everything is linked into a single vmlinux which runs in a single address space. (As an aside I'll have to remember to ask Ali if he's thought about what number getpid() should return in UKL - I guess returning 1 would cause least surprise)

> Can I fork or create threads?

Fork no, threads yes. Threads are implemented using kernel threads.

> Can I directly access kernel's internal APIs like a kernel module?

Yes, although whether this is a good idea is another matter. Note that it's still Linux so internal APIs are unstable and can go away or change their meaning at any time, so if your application starts to rely on internal APIs you could quickly get into trouble.

Rogue Gods (Tim O’Reilly on Frank Herbert’s Dune)
I suspect some of my experience is now out of date, as it's now spread out over quite some time. The most recent issue I had to deal with was Chrome: when drawing the canvas at high-res it was being a bit slow at blitting some bitmaps and so was running at 30fps. Something is tied to the framerate with the pointer events implementation and so the events also lagged behind, which made drawing on the canvas quite difficult as the display was 250-500ms behind the user. Eventually 'fixed' by turning the resolution down, but it was a real pain finding what part of the application had got behind (FlowBetween being designed not to lag but to catch up when the display can't keep up). That's quite a subtle one and the pointer events lagging is easily mistaken for the frame rate lagging.

Other browsers don't do this, but they've had a few other issues: what I remember in particular - some only support pressure information using the touch API, and some seemed to support pressure information on different APIs on different platforms, so both pointer events and touch events were needed.

All of these are maturity issues rather than real problems with the API, though and I haven't re-checked some of the older issues recently - that Chrome issue was still happening back in January so might still be around, but the others I last encountered over a year ago so may have been fixed by now.
What a thoroughly disingenuous comment. Here, let me have a go at emulating your style:

Are you saying all emotion is gibberish? So you want people to have no emotions whatsoever? You're literally in favour of killing people who display emotions?

Ask HN: What is the best way to target restaurants and small businesses?

Typically there are different types of orders as well:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_(exchange)

For assets with high liquidity there will always be buyers and sellers, depending on how many are on either side and what their price limits are (if they set any) transactions will occur at different prices. Depending on the order size the price can vary even within a single order (if you need multiple buyers or sellers with different limits to fill it). The market price is just an indication of the current equilibrium price at which there is the most liquidity for an asset. If there are more people that want to sell than people that want to buy at a given price the sellers will have to reduce their ask price to close orders, that drags the market price down. The same dynamic moves the price up when there are more buyers than sellers.

Watched and agreed.
Totally agree; I left high school early (no diploma) so that I could go to college. In high school I hated it, didn't do my homework, got poor grades, hated my math classes, and was generally inattentive; but I loved college, breezed through most classes, and discovered that I loved mathematics, so I majored in it, and now I've started a successful company.

My experience is different than most peoples', but the key thing is that people have a _choice_ and can find out what works for them. The more we try to fit people into algorithms, and top-down control, the less they can go find out what they are happy doing and how they want to do it. Control, coercion, surveillance and manipulation tend to choke out the beauty of life.
I'd love to have a modern statically typed language with type inferencing etc. that can be used for scripting, working in a REPL, as well as compiling to native code.

I've never tried Swift, but it seems it could have all the required features. I guess it's just lacking a lot of libraries that work on Linux.
Not sure it's feature creep to just make long lines friggin' readable. We can't seem to teach people not to use code blocks for quoting text, so either we need to "feature creep" a quote feature or we just fix this thing.

Eventually this does make sense in some ways. It's commonly accepted that you would want to avoid a 10x programmer who is toxic and drags everybody in the team down. So what's the huge difference of that to what you're describing? You'd much rather have in an important position somebody who everybody can trust, has mutual respect for, and is willing to work with, to somebody who is untrustworthy and looks down upon everybody. This pulls everybody together and eventually results in much better results for the organization (and hunter/gatherer group for example in ancient times), compared to the situation where one person has brilliant hard skills but makes everybody really uncomfortable and demotivated.

Of course, one might interpret what you said in a slightly different way, in that two groups of people would fight each other and only vote for people within their group, which would be sorta counterproductive for the whole organization. However, the behavior still actually makes sense for the particular group that those people are in and creates the maximum benefits for everybody in that group. For the organization, it would then be a problem of reconciliating the interests of different groups of people.
