The new iPhone SE outperforms all of the Mac laptops in single core performance, which is crazy. Even if you have a fast MacBook Pro you will get hit by thermal throttling all the time. So even if this ARM chip can't compete on multicore performance in bursts it may be able to beat it on sustained performance, which may actually make it quicker.

It's not going to compete with the Mac Pro for a little while, but who knows.

I think this is the result of two trends, firstly ARM getting so much better faster (especially Apple SoCs). Secondly, how dire Intel has been at improving performance. They really haven't got very far over the last decade.

I can see why there is a benefit to the patient of being able to check back in to listen to something again.

It might be encrypted, but it appears that encryption was ineffective (i.e. the API or application has access to the keys), since a user was able to access others' recordings. To me that's the big problem with everyone claiming to be "encrypted" - Dropbox was also encrypted back when they forgot to check user passwords for a few hours and anyone could log in "as you".
Not OP, but video nerd. I haven't actually used the product yet, but my guess is they're using WebRTC, which can be run (almost) completely as a peer-to-peer mesh network for small enough groups.

Where video can start getting really expensive is, as you said, when you're centrally hosting/processing/streaming large amounts of it. For this use-case there's a good chance they don't end up touching the video streams themselves at all, which is really cool.
Windows is also on ARM, so I don't think they have to get rid of dual boot. Windows on ARM also supports emulation of x86 apps (though strangle not x86-64).
Can you point us to the source code for verified boot? How about auto-update?

Utter bullshit. _Any_ clear eyed reading of the deep history of just about anything anywhere shows that this is false.

Even recently, for the first time in history, Australia had a woman as PM. She was extremely competent, overseeing the passing of more legislation - her actual job -than anyone in recent history, despite being PM in an unusually extreme partisan environment.

She was brought down by a right wing bully-boy who is already famous for being one of the most incompetent leaders Australia has ever had.

He ate an onion like an apple, brought back knighthoods (and then granted one to a foreign royal family who was already a knight!), was unable to pass key legislation - and was removed as PM within 2 years.

There are countless examples like this in politics and society in which demonstrable competence has been brought to heel by unchecked, dog whistling, incompetent bullies and the lame excuse that “boys will be boys”. It is foul and corrupt.

A code of conduct exists to ensure that the air is clear enough for competence itself to be rewarded. Anyone who claims to believe in a meritocracy should embrace something like this. A code of conduct is an enabler - quite literally the opposite of oppression.

> Solar panels are much cheaper than when the film was made. It's this reduction in cost that's driving the energy disruption, not increase in efficiency (although that helps).

Solar is a nonfactor in energy. It counts for absolutely nothing.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_energy_consumption#/medi...

The only energy disruption we've had is natural gas in the last few decades.

To show you how insignificant solar is, it only makes up 15% of renewables. The largest renewable source is wind ( 3X more energy than solar ).

I think it's worth noting that this a relative, as well as contextual.

For example, I recently heard a CTO at an agency tell a story about a new client. The previous agency had engineered something relative esoteric. Something that while understandable was also somewhat fragile, and took time to bring back from going down. In ecommerce, time is money. The client's biz needs went beyond the system being understandable.
@mmcclure is right. This uses WebRTC and is currently in peer mode. As soon as I start allowing more than 4 people per room that might cause some performance issues, I’ll need to monitor that. As it stands now there is a hard cost, but it isn’t prohibitive yet.

Most of the portability problems for retargetting to another little endian 64-bit architecture aren't the easy ones of bit widths and integer types, but rather more subtle things like a more relaxed memory model and different performance characteristics.

It's not worth the overhead of attempting to ship bitcode. Apple has shipped products on 6502, 68000, PPC, x86, x86-64, ARM, and ARM64. The transitions have been annoying for the lost software, but that's not an unusual occurrence for an OSX upgrade either.

The interfaces don't have to have representation in the language for their existence. This is true for all programming constructs. They are patterns imposed by design that can exist without support from the language.

A language does not need to have interfaces to have interfaces. An interface is simply a set of methods and the contracts those methods obey. An object can be said to implement an interface if it has the methods that obey the required contracts. Interfaces are entirely about decoupling. Such that the client of an interface depends on the contract of that interface and not any object that implements it.

The SRP in SOLID is about factoring interfaces such that each client ends up with interfaces that are specific to its use of the object rather than depending on an interface that provides more than is needed. That is the interface is responsible to a single client.

The example for SRP that is given is an interface that combines two distinct uses. By splitting those interfaces, the code that results is more flexible even if there is only one object that implements both interfaces.

Neither of those SRP mentioned in that article are the specific SRP that appears in SOLID. Nothing wrong with that. Please cite Clean Code or that article, rather than SOLID, for them.
This, most of all. Substitute native language if not English; the important thing is that the project be defined and developed in both a human language and a computer language, so that mismatches can be identified and resolved.

* Start by describing what you are trying to do.
* Specifically.
* Not 'build a web business to enable users to achieve their
potential', not 'create another library for X but simpler'
but *specifically what the software will do* and, most
importantly, the priorities of scope increase (it'll happen
anyway; just get the priorities and their order down in
text ASAP).
* Put it in a readme.txt or something.

* For any given subsystem of the code (meaning: any section
which can sort-of stand on its own) write another such file,
in more detail.

* Let these files guide your tests too.

* Keep them up to date. If priorities change, *start* by
updating the readmes. The code isn't immutable; nor is the
plan. But the plan comes first.

* When unsure how a new subsystem or feature is going to work,
write out your ideas and thought processes in text. Don't
start coding at all for a day or two after you sketch out the
basics. *Append* to this file instead of replacing large
parts.

[edit] Wasn't intended to quote that part (sorry to mobile users) but I can never remember how to get bulleted lists on this site...

The Factual
> Have they shown developers much respect in the past?

I totally agree Apple is not the most developer-friendly company, and I wish they'd focus on developer needs more. They should copy a page out of Microsoft's book and take Steve Ballmer's "developers, developers, developers" to heart.

> You can't even compile for the mac on other OSes, from what I hear.

I can compile Windows software on Linux or macOS using MinGW. Did Microsoft do anything to enable that? No, independent developers cloned the Microsoft API headers, etc, to build a cross-platform compilation environment for Windows.

There really isn't a MinGW-equivalent for macOS. There should be. But, just as Microsoft didn't do anything to produce MinGW, I don't know why we should expect Apple to do anything to produce the equivalent for macOS. (It should actually be an easier job than the MinGW developers had – macOS uses the open source LLVM toolchain which is already cross-platform – it is just a matter of providing header files and library stubs for use when compiling on other operating systems.)
> My understanding is of nociception being a biological phenomenon that can be measured by proxy via behavior...At absolute minimum it seems weird to me to talk about an unconscious patient experiencing pain. Surely we benefit from being able to draw a distinction here?

It may be weird, but I think it's very valuable to have a taxonomy which lets you ask about kinds of pain which are not merely yoked to immediate verbalizable things. As you say, it is complex.

For example, if you thought 'unconscious pain' is a contradiction in terms, then what do you make of things like anesthesia awareness or the troubling long-term PTSD-like symptoms in some people who undergo anesthesia ( https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/wzj6WkudtrXQFqL8e/inverse-p-... )? That may be 'behavior' but they certainly are not classic indicators of pain. They are not like dipping a mouse's tail in hot water and observing its movement. They do, however, despite the lack of qualia, look like learning processes about avoiding damage.

And why do we apparently have consciously-perceived damage signals which can in fact motivate behavior (if the person chooses to) without the accompanying painful qualia, if nociception is merely behavioral effects? When Tanya decides to react to burning her hand on a stove by moving it away, is she really experiencing the exact same kind of nociception that you or I experience when we burn our hand on a stove and move it away? It's the same behavior, after all.

I'm sure you can extend 'nociception' as a word to cover some but not all of these cases, but by that point, nociception needs the entire essay as a preface just to explain what one means by that, which is why I don't use it. It is a pointer to an entire theoretical & empirical apparatus the reader does not have. Anyone who already knows all that doesn't need to read the pain section at all as it's obvious why pain in humans is an example of bi-level losses.

Microsoft Teams’ noise cancellation has been driving me absolutely crazy the past few weeks. I live on a busy road, and whenever a car drives past Teams will reduce the volume of anyone else talking in a meeting. Even if I’m muted - Teams gives me the “your microphone is muted” notification. And I use closed-back headphones for meetings so I don’t even hear the outside noise. So this results in my having to constantly have the Windows volume slider open, one earpiece off, and listen for a car coming so I can raise the volume in advance. Is anyone else dealing with this?

Check Hinkley Point C. When done it will reliably produce more than 3GWh every hour of every day. More than 28 TWh every year.

Your 269 renewable projects, occupying thousands of times more land space and requiring hundred of times more resources to build, will only produce 3 to 4 times as much at best, while still requiring an equivalent spare capacity (in storage, using unavailable technology, or in gas, coal, ... or nuclear) for times of no wind or no sun.

Renewables are a sham. A waste of money, land and resources. Seriously, I'm quite sure of it now.

First Law trilogy, by Abercrombie. This is what Gritty Fantasy should read like. It’s got scenes in them that I want to reread the books just to get to. Really hope these would be made into a series or films, as the cinematography in them is already perfect. Without spoiling the first book as it’s revealed early on; Logan Ninefingers is essentially a Barbarian, but throughout you get the feeling he’s deeply afraid of that side. (If you’ve watched how Mike Tyson talked about his fear of that side in him on his podcast, this is essentially it...)

There’s been other books as well, but these are the biggest reread-able ones for me.

ORAM is pretty costly for a feature that many people don’t actually need. Yes it is log(n) for reads and writes, but the bigger downside is that ORAM by design thrashes any cache you happen to be using. I imagine this would be particularly noticeable for filename resolution with deep directories.

Plus, ORAM provides no protection out of the box for timing based attacks.
