Apple released the 3rd iPad generation with 4x the resolution of the prior generation, despite the GPU being absolutely miserable. The net result was that many graphical operations were much slower. It was a few more generations before the responsiveness caught up with the lower resolution 2nd generation. We know that they've done the same with Macbooks, going to dramatically higher resolutions while often relying upon the the iGPU that has only marginally improved.

There has never been a hard and fast criteria, beyond that ostensibly the benefits outweighed the detriments. I had a 3rd gen and enjoyed that super crisp display, so it was an okay compromise.

Add that recent software iterations have put dramatically more emphasis on power savings/efficiency, and are much more proactive about frequency scaling, etc.

As an aside, this post will be autodead, and that's cool. Love ya HN.
Interesting website, definitely unique.

I had a look over the blog post sample https://www.forthwrite.io/blog-sample, as this is what you do, content, but I find the article very confusing and I have no idea what it's about. For me the article just feels spammy, like it was written by bots. I wouldn't publish something like this on my site.

For me it's the new compiler - Graal - many people say it isn't as tuned for AArch64 and some people have claimed its architecture isn't brilliant in all places for AArch64 either which could be a longer-term problem. I push the Java compiler pretty hard so a few % regression over C2 on AArch64 would be pretty nasty for me.

HAProxy is what we switched over to at work. I'm not informed enough to give you the pros and cons of each.
Exactly. A lot of the comments here are along the lines of "we setup a k8s cluster and now managing it is a huge burden" which is not surprising. The power of k8s is to allow separation of concerns in your technology organization. You can have a dedicated team to build and maintain the underlying cluster and then app development teams are consumers who deploy their application on the common infrastructure. Kubernetes provides a nice abstraction layer so those two teams/orgs can interact through a well-defined API. As a dev team, we can manage our own infrastructure and pipeline through declarative configurations and let someone else manage the underlying compute and network infrastructure. As long as you don't fall into the anti-pattern of "every team builds it's own k8s cluster" then you should be able to derive some nice economies of scale.
Back around the time of Heartbleed, there was a bunch of childish[1,2] attention given to OpenSSL's warts, mostly centered around the OpenBSD fork called LibreSSL, which stripped out a lot bad, old code and code for non-Unix platforms.

Unsurprisingly, the childish attention faded into nothing because it's much harder to write good code than it is to tear apart someone else's. But the smear on the OpenSSL volunteers' reputation remains, as seen by GP's comment.

There's no shortage of jobs looking for elixir developers, which is based on erlang.
Yes, absolutely. In many/most real world cases, different types of learning overlap (these themselves are only mental models, after all). In this case, the cognitive aspect would be the what and why, helping you to get why this exists, what problem this solves, and to how to find out whether the current problem at hand is a good case for an application of this knowledge. And if your mental model is precise enough (say if you have 2 decades of experience as a full-time mathematician), you'd probably be able to recreate the function as needed.

Everyone else still has to memorize the actual terms.

I bought my first house in 2006 just before the peak. I sold 3 years ago for less than I bought. But if I consider what I would have paid in rent for equivalent standard of living, then I broke even or maybe even a little ahead in total cost. However a BIG difference was that a significant portion of that expenditure became equity. So I was able to grow wealth rather than grow someone else’s wealth.

If I were to do it again (for the first time) I would:

- go out to dinner less and save more of that money (nothing to do with home ownership, but I could have hosted more at my HOUSE)

- perhaps bought a little less of a house or bought a 2 family and rented the other unit.
CDC tracks pneumonia deaths across the entire United States through two separate systems.

It couldn’t sweep by undetected. When we actually got hit by coronavirus hard, alarms starting blaring immediately both in local health department stats and in CDC FluView which tracks “influenza-like illnesses” and pneumonia mortality.

1. CDC FluView data - the coronavirus outbreak in the United States is clearly visible as an historically large spike of pneumonia mortality. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/index.htm

2. New York city’s own surveillance system “ While only about 100 cases of the coronavirus had been confirmed in the whole state, the city’s surveillance system was, by the end of the first week in March, signaling a spike in influenza-like illnesses at emergency rooms. A few days later, the number of police officers calling out sick jumped noticeably, as did calls to 911 for fever and cough.“ https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/08/nyregion/new-york-coronav...

This is not just happening to Apple. Every tech giant is losing sight of the fundamental experience over marketable features, shiny and profit.

There are a lot of places you could assign blame for this nonsense, but perhaps a better path would be to just start a new company and release products that don't suck. Surely there is at a small, yet viable market out there for "how macbooks used to be prior to 2014".

I'd throw my wallet at the first company to produce an exact clone of the late 2013 macbook pro running a non-shit variant of OSX. This is easy money sitting on the table, but there's probably more money in shoving 12 month product cadences down everyone's throats.
> a good software encoder will provide better quality

Why is hardware lower quality? Isn't the encoding algorithm deterministic and so the same wether you do it in hardware and software?
No, we should move it younger, and stop infantalizing adults, but who wants responsibility?
I found the book pretty enjoyable. The description of advertising technology could be more lucid, the portion on Facebook seemed a tad long, and the romantic intrigues were pretty tame to be mentioned. Still, there's alot to like: I enjoyed the autobiographical tour from quant to startup employee to startup founder to grown-up startup employee to unemployed, particularly the description of the AdGrok acquisition talks. It's always difficult to ascertain what might or might not be true in these kinds of books, but I was left feeling like a friend of Martinez, him pulling back the curtain a bit and letting slip a few secrets, me discovering cracks in the Silicon Valley blend of meritocracy and 'we're changing the world' companies.

Recommended read, though the meat of the book is in the first 1/2 to 2/3. Tone is pretty polarizing, though clearly I was a fan.
About your pricing, I think it's a bit strange to have to commit to a 12 months plan without having a trial, especially considering that the pricing is quite high for content writing.

Boxcryptor is a paid solution, similar to Cryptomator. I think I gave each one a try out on my phone, but ultimately just went back to using plain Google Drive and Google Photos. It fell into the category of "what is the real tangible benefit of this to me actually?" The real cost was added complexity, decreased reliability, a worse photos experience, and possibly another subscription cost.
Believe it or not, in most states you do indeed have the right to self-defense against the police.[0] If the police are acting with excessive force, likely to cause great physical harm, you are within your rights to choose to fight back (notwithstanding the fact that this will probably get you killed). This principle was a big part of Randy Weaver’s successful defense after the Ruby Ridge stand-off.

This is a reminder how naive we can be interacting with malicious individuals on the internet. Are there any useful platforms that teach internet safety in everyday life?
> They are destroying innocent bystanders lives and livelihoods; the celebrities who are egging them on are doing so because their neighbourhoods, livelihoods and lives are not getting burned down (see https://www.rt.com[...])

With due respect, I fear this may be precisely an example of the "majority illusion" described in the article.

You're not seeing a representative sample of "their responses" or "celebrities" -- you're seeing a sample selected by the media specifically for the quality of being newsworthy. (Or entertaining, or engaging, or aligning with the outlet's political views)

If we're to learn anything from this PLOS article, it's that we should not be overly confident in our views about what "everyone else" is doing.

I think you're right about that. Certainly an unusual launch pad. But wasn't it also that they weren't planning on leaving anyone behind anyway? In that case destroying the office building isn't that big of a deal. Although it shouldn't collapse until the rocket is clear of course.

NYC was putting patients into hospital cafeterias, the Javits Center, and a US navy ship in the harbor if you didn’t notice. Moreover, many people who called in sick were told to stay at home because there wasn’t room in the hospital for them like there normally would have been.

> It was only a month ago when Cuomo and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) suggested that the crisis would blow over. But as the need for more hospital beds became clear, Cuomo, at his daily news briefings, described his forceful push on the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and then his calls to President Trump, to allow covid-19 patients at the Javits Center.

One thing that would be very different from a windows transition is that Apple is much more aggressive about pulling support for backwards compatibility. MS spends a lot of energy to support really old software for businesses whereas Apple typically gives a 3 year window then pulls the plug.
It should be noted this article is from 2016.
If you're trying to build a system and a culture that deploys frequently and often, this is a great way to do it. You want engineers deploying smaller changes more frequently - smaller changes are easier to review, easier to reason about if something goes wrong and easier to revert if they need to be.

You want to incentivize people to deploy as often as possible because it forces people to address the pain points of deploying. The idea is you build a cultural idea and drive towards a goal, in this case deploying on the first day, and use the cultural goal to address the technical pain points.

All of this seems odd for coinbase though. We did stuff like that at Etsy, because the key insight was that it's cheaper to fix errors than it is to prevent them in an e-commerce context. A hiccup on an e-commerce page just forces a reload and it's usually not a big deal. A hiccup in a bank transaction is much more frightening.
In most cases, forcing staff to use two-factor authentication is enough to block most of attempts. Employees can still leak their passcode onc (even though stealing codes is more difficult), but there is much less risk of persistent compromise.

> Assigning morality to facial recognition, a task most humans can do is more than a bit bizzare in my opinion. I tend to operate on a "free extended thought" model when it comes to processing available publically available inputs.

The problem with that is that while in theory you could use a million people to do things like facial recognition on the scale allowed by technology, in practice, this would be incredible expensive, so it doesn't happen.

If I can do it do my neighbor it is vastly different from me being able to do it to my whole city. It has very different consequences and should be weighted on its own.

Funny... A move to AMD would be less disruptive to the macOS ecosystem and would solve the roadmap issues. It seems AMD will have the lead for a good couple years right now.

Intel must be creating a lot of problems for Apple to warrant this move. Or maybe AMD is not willing to give Apple the same sweet deal Intel gave Apple to get the transition.

Qualified immunity is for civil repercussions, not criminal. Individual police officers can go to jail for committing crimes in the line of duty. Any civil lawsuits stemming from such acts, however, cannot be aimed at the individual officer, but must instead be against the city/state/feds. I’m skeptical that letting officers get sued for things they can already go to jail for would be a major additional deterrent.

(To be clear, I’m in favor of ending qualified immunity in cases associated with criminal acts, not because I think it will make things better, but because it is fundamentally unjust for the taxpayers to be forced to cover the bill for an individual officer’s illegal acts, when the officer — of all people — should have known that the act was illegal)

He's got plenty of leverage, assuming that the product is a part of the company sale pitch, i.e. the company is not being sold just for its customer list, website rankings or other non-product assets.

Edit - looking through OP's commenting history, it appears they are working on the real estate market software. In this case it is very likely that the company is being sold for the list of its customers to a larger competitor, to allow migrating customers to the competitor's platform. In this case the OP has little to no re-negotiating power, because the product is not what being sold here.
Regarding your edit: you should look into the r/nottheonion subreddit.
The decoder is deterministic. The encoder is free to decide where to allocate more bit of which block type is better in a specific place or other things. A software encoder can be improved without replacing the entire cpu/gpu.

That example is not realistic. You rent dedicated servers from a provider that will always have extra hardware at hand, and handle all of those steps; you don't rent hardware yourself and run it in your basement :)
Cool. Thank you. I didn't remember the UI details.
And that's the problem; by then it's too late (i.e. never took the time to backup the db). It's about finding the balance, writing a PHP app shouldn't involve studying C compilers and CPU design. But I think these tools (whichever you decide to use) are such an essential part of what you're building that "outsourcing" them as much as possible might be a bit ignorant.

That being said, as long as it works, it works. And if your app is small enough never to get into the grey waters, all the better.
Bertrand Russell was a philosopher, so he wrote about the "problem of induction."

"Domestic animals expect food when they see the person who usually feeds them. We know that all these rather crude expectations of uniformity are liable to be misleading. The man who has fed the chicken every day throughout its life at last wrings its neck instead, showing that more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful to the chicken."

Game theorists probably have a different term for unexpectedly converting a repeated game to a terminal one.
