Personally, I gave up on the Apple ecosystem years ago and moved to Linux. But I feel ambivalent about this.

On one hand, the iPhone/Pad chips have impressive performance and power consumption, at least for the mobile use case. Some competition in this space can't hurt, and it will be interesting how well they fare against Intel and AMD in a different environment.

On the other hand: this seems like a golden opportunity for Apple continue the path of merging iOS and Mac OS, turning the desktop platform into an equally walled and locked down garden.

This will also be a rocky road for very performance sensitive applications which Macs are used for a lot. Like video editing, Photoshop etc.
You should share this with dang as an optional feature that can be enabled like "showdead"
Sometimes the channels are derelict - someone created the account, maybe to leave a comment, then never really used it again. Maybe you could argue that people should be responsible for shutting down unused accounts. I wouldn't agree but that's not unreasonable.

But it is often the case that the owners of these accounts try to get access back from YouTube, to no avail. Several animators I subscribed to had their accounts hacked (maybe poor passwords) and filled with crypto scam nonsense and the process of getting them back was hopeless and took many months of concerted effort from them and their fans.

At that point, though the scammers are of course primarily at fault, I'd also place blame on YouTube for allowing the scam-turned accounts to remain. Protection for user content that is sometimes illegal should cease when a host repeatedly fails to remove that (specific instance of) content in good faith.
The Kenyon Review only pays $.05 per word, this definitely seems to be one of the better markets for fiction.
Which is why Microsoft went around and is incrementally merging Win32 and UWP, including sandboxing for Win32.

Is there a theory for why south and east asians are over-represented in the sciences, and how this fits into white supremacy?
You say it like it's a bad thing. I can't wait to have more competition as far as instruction sets go. Of course things will break but it'll give us a reason to make our apps and toolchains ARM-compatible beyond Raspberry Pis and small devices.
The author has the pdf available on their personal site. I highly recommend reading it. It is understandable by a hobbyist in my opinion.

That's because the article is a review of the translation.

Published book reviews are of two kinds. Either the publisher of a book gets some magazine to print a review as a promotional tactic, or the book is notorious enough on its own for magazines to review it, so that they can capitalize on its notoriety.

In the case of the former, the review is a paid promotion, so it is invariably positive. Regardless of how sincerely Dave Eggers loves Machado in general and this translation in particular, he is still being paid to rhapsodize about them.

You can take away the facts that there is a new translation of Bras Cubas and that it is being actively promoted, in the New Yorker, by Dave Eggers. But those are not, on their own, reliable signs that the new translation is good or necessary.

They are talking about finance, but the same could be said of the computer field.

I would say just a limited number of software engineers work on projects that significantly benefit society.

Seriously, a computer-controlled toilet could be measurably more beneficial to society than most phone applications.

The application of AI to self-driving cars is way more meaningful than applying it (in a negative fashion) to purchasing preferences.

Reminds me of what my Programming Languages professor used to say, "Scope - it's not a mouthwash!"

Most people don't know what scope, or descope means in this context.
If you’re the one implementing the language’s memory model then it’s your problem isn’t it?

If you’re generating the machine code then it’s your problem isn’t it?

If you’re writing lock-fee code that doesn’t use the C memory model then it’s your problem isn’t it?

> then you probably have lots of other issues to worry about

Yes, yes we do.
I moved to awesomewm a few years back and I absolutely love it. I can open half a dozen terminals at once and they'll all automatically be ordered in a way that's immediately useful to me, where all the terminals are visible and (largely, depending on the automatic layout set) equally sized. And if I want another layout, I just press one combination to cycle through all the layouts I've configured. tmux doesn't give me that kind of flexibility. It doesn't feel anywhere as fluid or seamless to switch between half a dozen (or more) terminals.

It means I can have an overview of a bunch of different things and keep terminals context-specific (1 terminal for htop, 1 for docker, 1 for whatever remote test environment, 1 for project A, 1 for project B, 1 for some other remote host I need for some reason, etc.) If I want to do a new task unrelated to anything I'm doing before, I don't need to break the context of an existing terminal, I just press Alt+Enter, it's automatically slotted into a place where it's completely visible and usable and I can do that task quickly. When I'm done, I can close it, again, without disturbing the context of all the other terminals. It's just incredibly freeing to have that and I feel it frees a lot of cognitive load by being able to go back to a terminal for a certain task and immediately see exactly where I was and what I did last.

Also, much like the other comments, I use task-specific virtual desktops all the time. First desktop is for all the terminals. Second is for browser/communication. Third is for project A. Fourth is documentation related to projA. Fifth is projB. Sixth can be more documentation. I often have 10 virtual desktops for different things. I don't want to imagine what it'd look like if I had it all on one desktop.

I moved to an X1 2 years ago when I refused to get the new keyboard and my 2013 MBP was on the way out, very happy to have Linux as the native OS for dev work, but I don't love the added time I do have to spend maintaining my own OS now.

Also slack and zoom for linux suck :(
What's been going on with the embedded ME/PSP in x86-compatible hardware for the last 10 years is ugly. If this is real--I'm hoping this evolves into a real alternative to that architecture though it's possible it could start doing the same thing.

That precedent was set about a decade ago, and even here on HN there is a vast crowd of people who happily support(ed) that.
I would love to see new MacBook pros with the latest AMD Ryzen, speedy and power efficient, processors. I can understand the move to ARM, since iPhones and iPads are already there and it make sense to unite the ecosystem.

Fun fact: Kalamata is the second largest city in southern Greece. I tried finding why they named the Apple project like this, but couldn’t find anything relevant. Any ideas?
youre new, this is a YC classic
Depends on how fast they are and who knows, there might be custom hardware to help the emulation. I’m pretty sure while there will be issues 4-8h of battery life and your laptop working at full speed when not on the mains will be great wins and eventually worth the change.
Not all compilers and other machine-specific programs are as tuned for AArch64 as they are AMD64. Some may not be designed with AArch64’s properties in mind.

Whats wrong with the T2?

I just heard some stories that you can't recover your data when your hardware fails (which is not that huge of a problem, who does not sync their files nowadays), and that some laptops get 'improperly' resold (not being deactivated), but thats it. I probably missed something.
I wouldn't be so sure. Apple was happy to leave behind "pro" customers who needed floppy drives (1998), optical drives and ethernet (2013), and USB ports (2017).

Sure, the industry ended up following them on a lot of this, but that should be as much a cause for concern as the rest of it. An awful lot of the pro audio / video work that happens on high end Apple hardware could absolutely happen on a machine where the only software comes in via an app store.
- Erlang/Elixir: taught me functional programming, pattern matching, recursion, supervision, how to achieve fault tolerance

- Docker: taught me about server management and immutable infrastructure; paved the way for a lot of concepts (containers are surprisingly foreign for a lot of people)

Other than that: learning about different databases in general and learning how they solved the problems they had and why they solved them that way; the same problems come up over and over and it's important to be able to recognize good ideas from bad ones as well as when to recognize solved problems from novel ones
Hm. For one they have seamless Virtual Box integration. Which means NATIVE vbox-port running on that, and fast. Can use one of the fastest (message passing) micro kernels available. Which seems fitting to the concepts of Haiku from my layman point of view? What i'd imagine is your desktop, with the exact look and feel and usage concepts ripped free from Beos/Haiku kernel stuff, and running atop SeL4 instead,
with BFS running in some user task, thereby not loosing all the database/tag-capable stuff for the DE.

Maybe even having more drivers for contemporary hardware?
Also security, network stack?

To anyone remotely paying attention, Apple has clearly been working on this for years, and most certainly has their entire system image cross-compiling as just a rote step now. And for all the "I hope!", obviously they'll have a transpiler for x86-64 to AArch64, and a full virtualization environment.

The only reason Apple hedged is concern that Intel might have been sandbagging and would pull something out of the hat. If Apple moved to their own chip and then a revolution in Intel chips came out, that would be bad for Apple. It is increasingly unlikely that is going to happen.

I fully expect Apple will introduce a chip much faster and much more efficient than Intel, and it will come out with ridiculous battery life and efficiency...and HN will be shitting their beds about how terrible it is that some menu flickers or some other stupid bullshit.

And yes, I know this will automatically by dead, because 80% of the inhabitants here are slobbering imbeciles.
The original term (28 years) was okay. If these guys sue for 150,000USD per infringement and there are 1.4 million documents as the article says, they can sue for 210 trillion dollars. Doesn't something about that strike you as absurd?
I like the concept but not able to understand why I would like to write in markdown?! Markdown has a very steep learning curve imo. As a general user (note taker or blogger) you are asking me to learn something else in order to derive value from your solution.

Arm provides different models for consistency of changes to memory from different cores/cpus to Intel. Concurrent (typically lock-free) code may be relying on intel’s behaviour

The static analyzer. There are so many subtle things that aren't caught by the compiler and don't cause any problems in your testing but will definitely come up once 10M users are running your app. The static analyzer can catch some of them before you even run! It's great.

The various sanitizers - Address Sanitizer, Thread Sanitizer, Undefined Behavior Sanitizer. These all also find things before you ship. They require (re)building and running but it's worth it.

Beyond that, any sort of instrumentation that can show you in real time information about your running application. You can see memory growing, even if it's not leaking. You can see performance tanking and know the exact function that's causing it before you quit.

Beyond that, for me using a framework that was well written made understanding architecture much easier. I had used MFC and CodeWarrior PowerPlant for a few years. They got the job done and were easy enough to use, but I didn't really learn anything from them. But when I moved to using Cocoa, it was so elegant and the separation of concerns was so good that it clicked and really taught me a lot about better architecture.
Congrats, you made me purchase another gizmo. :)

Anyway, I'm a licensed HAM and I've played with electronics since forever. I was thinking to get a small SDR module to tinker with.
In developing countries the best and brightest can't do much without a supporting eco system. For example, several Indians come to the US and get jobs as software engineers in the best companies. But the same employees wouldn't be able to produce similar work while working from India in the same companies (anecdotal evidence) as more is needed for a functioning team than just developers. This is the case for most jobs.
Agree to disagree. For certain kinds of programmers who tend to think more analytically, databases are easy to work with.

For those of us who tend to think more visually or kinesthetically, I appreciate tools that are trying to solve problems at a less-lingual/code level.
who makes the non-proprietary CPUs that will provide competitive performance here in 2020?
Their iPhone chips blow everything out of the water so this is exciting.

I haven’t tried it myself, but it sounds like you may find Silverblue Linux [1] of interest. It’s supposed to treat the base system as immutable images that are updated “atomically”, while user apps are handled via Flatpak, completely separated from this immutable base.

In other words, an OS model that sounds more like iOS and Android, but built on Fedora and targeted at computers.

Ah I see never heard of them
It is an oscillation between a supply shock and a demand shock, and back again. Multiple so-called "bullwhip effects" stacked on top of each other, all across the various sectors in the economy.

It's worth remembering that from the Western POV, the pandemic absolutely started with a supply shock - a big chunk of Chinese manufacturing essentially shut down for two months, and a lot of the usual cargo thus never sailed. This not only caused raising prices on all sorts of imported goods two months down the line (it takes as long for the container ships to reach Europe and the US), but also caused export problems - less incoming containers = less containers available to ship things back out. This coincided with the western governments instituting lockdowns and stay-at-home orders, resulting in reduced demand, which further forced the shippers to park their containers, cancel sailings, or even consider scrapping some capacity. Ocean shipping will take years to recover.

Supply and demand shocks are essentially two sides of the same coin, each 180 degrees in front of the other. They're oscillations in the system. We'll be facing repeated demand and supply shocks in the future, hopefully each with smaller magnitude than the previous one, until the whole system stabilizes again.
Well, maybe. There isn't a hard requirement that a bank will invest the money; excess reserves are currently over 3 trillion.

> in light of the Oracle licensing situation

You mean the licensing situation where Oracle completed open-sourcing the entire JDK and made Java free of field-of-use restrictions for the first time in its history?

> the biggest issue in both cases was heat.

I don't think Apple was in any way naive about how hot Intel chips can run under load. It's also not impossible to make a laptop body that can run those chips with decent temperatures... if you're willing to make compromises on size.

IMO, the biggest issue was they still chose to make the systems thin in spite of the thermal tradeoffs that would result from that.

Yes, thinner's probably more desirable, but would people have stopped buying MBPs if they were a little less thin? I don't think their sales would have shrunk by much, since most Mac users are for the most part a captive audience, because they love MacOS.
> Once you start playing around in GNU Radio and decoding more exotic stuff

Do you have any tips or resources on how to get to a competency level where you get to decode arbitrary digital signals you find from a scan?

I've read through all the GNU Radio documentation, along with the examples on their wiki and have even written my own blocks but keep finding that opening a grc file that someone else authored, there will be a critical block I've never seen before (and likely, never see again) which hampers experimentation. As soon as I attempt to decode a real-life signal, it feels like I dove in too fast -- there's too many unknowns, since the end result is [presumably] not going to be a nice, human-readable string. However, occasionally, I find challenges like [1] which are great, since you have the expectation that the signal _can_ be decoded; it's just that I've found examples like these to be quite rare.

So much this. And command-line debuggers are usually awful. Just being able to set a breakpoint in the actual text file you're editing without using a different tool, and stop when a condition happens can speed up your workflow so much.
but the image you want to run in it might not.
Olives are to apples, as arm cores are to intel cores.

(Kalamata is a kind of olive, a small tougher and pithier version of its blander behemoth brethren.)
Is there a way to say "a lot of ARM support issues across apps that I rely on" as though it isn't a bad thing? Hahah. I do agree some instruction set competition would be a good thing, especially if this can further improve battery life on portable devices.
Developing countries like China and India prize STEM studies as they lead to well-paying careers.

Those may appear to be over-represented in work visas because that's what US companies want to hire.

Nothing to do with white supremacy.

To expand on what that means, most of the CCP central committee are engineers, while US representatives have a high percentage of lawyers.

Engineers build things, and lawyers debate things.

So Pudong Airport has a 300 kph maglev train to downtown Shanghai since 2002, and we don't have any. (There's a nice maglev museum in the Shanghai terminus that only takes 30 min to 60 min to view.)

Not strictly a better programmer but a more efficient one.

- FZF (Fuzzy Finder) really speeds thing up in bash when searching your history.

- Vim (as others have mentioned). With the plugin vim-fugitive (a git related vim plugin). I love Gblame in vim-fugitive, as being able to look at the history of lines of code and stepping back in time can at times be very useful.

- Creating various aliases. For example in git I have little aliases which just make me faster. "st" = "status", "rbi" = "rebase --interactive", "ci' = "commit", etc...

- Using The Silver Searcher (ag) or Ripgrep (rg) instead of grep. Much faster than using grep.

- Using 'fd' instead of find. Like above it is a lot faster.
How would I do this?
I do think it is deserving, but that doesn't guarantee you won't be disappointed. It has a lot of qualities, but it might be the case that none of those qualities matter much for you or impact you in the same way.

The only way to guarantee you won't be disappointed is if you are interested in some meta-learning about how the literature is developed by people from a different culture and from a different time. Machado de Assis is definitely a great writer, and a unique one, especially for people who are used to literature from Western Europe and North America.

So, if you want to expand your literature horizons, it is a sure win. But even so, you might not like his writing, for any legitimate reason. There is just one way to find out.
In Catalina, I see the move towards these macOS & iOS compatible apps ("Catalyst") as making it easier to develop apps for both. It's a service for developers, if you will (I am not an app developer!)

I don't necessarily see it as trying to create a single OS for both desktop and mobile.
Very clever. What about “ Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You?”

Do you try to find the mouse on every page in goodnight moon?
Also probably shouldn’t use your real name on any site nevermind YouTube. From that alone we have almost a clear idea of his life, his Instagram page, his children. Very scary stuff. I’d hate to be this public about my own life.
