Indeed. Been using Macs since 2006 but switched back to Windows late last year after being fed up with the declining quality of Mac software, and the lackluster hardware options.

Speaking to friends suggests that I'm far from the only one.
This to me says one of two things:

1. Either their engineering org is so bad they can't afford to spend some of their massive resources on backwards compatibility.

2. They just don't give a shit.

Either way, not a great look.

Show HN: Testing my first iOS App (Beta) – Cleaninder
Finally, after several years, I got to the point to develop my first iOS app! This is a house cleaning reminder app, which helps you manage your cleaning schedule and notify you before an upcoming cleaning. You can also see if there is a missing cleaning in your room.
Currently it is in beta testing, and I would appreciate any feedback you could give to a beginner Swift developer. I'm sure there are still a lot to improve, but we have to start somewhere.
If you could help me with testing, please fill the form with your e-mail address and I will add you to TestFlight. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!
One example – H.264 is hardware accelerated on iPhone so one might prefer this over VP8 which could drain the device's battery pretty quickly when used in a P2P mesh setup.

Yes, Bitcode is not a requirement for the Mac App Store. Furthermore, Steven’s blog post is misleading: it implies that Apple can just seamlessly translate IR into a different architecture, and shows it kind of working for the simple example he has there. The problem is that this falls apart for anything that is more than mildly complicated (which, of course, is not mentioned in he blog post) because of ABI differences. Apple did this once before with Apple Watch and there they had full control of both the chipset and the ABI on both sides of the transition, plus they had the forsight to mandate Bitcode submissions for the platform. And watchOS itself precludes doing certain fancy things anyways. So this isn’t really a proven way forwards in this case.

Are we talking war combat here? Because in a civilian case shooting legs and taking cover might just as well do it.

The real reason they shoot to kill is because they don’t want the victim to sue. A dead man never sued, their families have a lower chance of getting anything though that has started to change with so much footage.
Extreme left. I don't think this sentiment is popular on the left as a whole.

Has anyone here heard similar sentiments while getting a concealed carry license?

Absolutely, I was taught this in my self-defense shooting class. The question of kill or not kill doesn't enter into it at all. We were trained to neutralize the threat, full stop. The effect on the future health of that threat doesn't enter into it.

And this makes sense when you understand that gunfights don't happen the way you see on TV. There, when someone is hit with a bullet they fall down and stop being a threat. This is not how the world works. In the real world, unless their circulatory system or nervous system is taken offline, they will continue to be a threat. Even if they've been hit through the aorta or femoral artery or something that is likely to be fatal, it'll take a minute or two at least for the effect to occur, and in the meantime, they're going to keep trying to kill you.

"Should match" above was too strong. "Should match for users with locale set to English" is right though. In English, theoretically you should write "café" and "résumé" but practically speaking, it doesn't matter and no one cares if you omit the accents.

In the US, there's starting to be more push from people with ñ in their name to get support for the correct letter, but most government systems have zero support for anything but ASCII all capitals (sorry McWhoever).

When you buy 1000 CPU the failure rate of 4% every year.
That gives you statistically 40 dead servers each year for 5 years (avg component guaranteed life). thats 200 dead cpus.

Lets say $1000 per cpu thats $1,000,000 cost and $200,000 loss to damage.

1% - 50 dead CPU in 5 years - $50,000 in losses

In this scenario you have $150,000 to save or spend to get better equipment.

Also an important note. On top of that you suffer downtime losses and manpower cost of taking server out and swapping parts. If your eCommerce goes offline that might cause significant monetary loss.

For any large scale purchases its all about the numbers game.

In case of single purchases. Paying extra to get form 4% to 1% seems excessive (depending on the cost increase).

At this percentage levels its a roll of dice if it dies or not.

Star Wars: Squadrons
I buy iMacs for my personal use, as they spend the majority of the time running Windows 10 for gaming. Sure I could build/buy a dedicated gaming machine, but I like the hardware (Great monitor, quiet, sleek, mostly trouble-free) and my iMac can play any game at 1080p. Without bootcamp support, I’m going to abandon the Mac hardware for personal, and then for business use. There’s no way an ARM processor is going to be able to emulate x86 to run windows and my steam library at anything close to usable performance.
What are your plans to deal with the scalability issue thus far? I think that is always the biggest challenge.

"to my knowledge"

CPU technology is quite arcane, very high level, there are so many patents, IP money and a lot of secrecy involved, since CPU tech is quite a strategic one for geopolitical power. Do you work as an engineer at intel, ARM, AMD? On chip design?

> How do you tell if the CPU is on the margin of failing

It's not about failing, it's about error detection. Redundancy is a form of error detection. If several gates disagree on a result, they have to start again what they worked on. That's one simple form of error detection.

CPU never really fail, they just slow down because gates generate more and more errors, requiring recalculation until they finally correct the detected error. An aged chip will just have more and more errors, that will slow it down. Which is the reason why old chip are slower, independently of software.

Although a CPU that is very old will be very slow, or just crash the computer again and again that hardware-people will just toss the whole thing, since they're not really trained or taught to diagnose if it's the CPU, the RAM, the capacitors, the GPU, the motherboard, etc. In general they will tell their customers "it's not compatible with new software anymore". In the end, most CPUs get tossed out anyway.

It's also a matter of planned obsolescence. Maintaining sales is vital, so having a product that a limited lifespan is important if manufacturers want to hold the market.
That isn't how whole life insurance works. You are thinking of term life insurance. Whole life is basically an investment package that invests your premiums and pays out to your beneficiaries upon death.
> The use of a CoinJoin does not imply money laundering.

Cleaning coins and obscuring their origins between black market and AML compliant exchanges does though. You described a great way to get jail time.

> you have a right to thwart these efforts to illegally monitor your financial activity.

Good luck with that, but it seems that you actually don't, nearly every country now has a variety of monetary controls and monitors flows of cash with a warrant or otherwise. Merely disguising money flows is often enough to get you investigated. See also things like "structuring", a crime involving moving money in such a way as to avoid checks, which is illegal even if no other crime is committed.

The rest of your post is just more nonsense. If people found they couldn't exchange cryptocurrencies for fiat, HODL would be a thing of the past, and black market uses would also drop because people don't want bitcoin for itself. BTC is dead without conversion being available.

Yikes. No. If you don’t get threatened with a gun or another weapon you don’t shoot period.

Some people have mental issues and normally they twitch a lot. And cops claim they were afraid for their lives, it’s the easy license to kill. I find that barbaric and no wonder we see so much backlash against the police force!!!
Not directly, no, but it's an excellent reflection of the declining software quality and attention that the Mac is starting to get from Apple...
> Insurance is NOT a financial instrument. Insurance is supposed to be a safety mechanism that protects you if something bad happens.

Insurance is fundamentally a financial construct designed to manage risk. And if it's priced too low, it cannot function as a safety mechanism. Funds will be exhausted, and nobody will get their safety.

Where you see kindness, I see financial malfeasance of the sort that undermines the very goal of the thing.
No, that would require making false statements or false assurances, neglecting to disclose information when asked, or stating something happened when it didn't. Buying flood insurance when you know it's going to rain isn't fraud.
1. Please don't extrapolate from a useless program like Geekbench to a general concept such as "faster"

2-3. TB3 is a single PCIe x4 link, which is not even enough for a single state-of-the-art SSD. It's certainly not fast enough to connect an entire other computer to, except for certain embarrassing workloads.
Instead of "defund", maybe a better word, then, is "reform", or "reorganize"? Or maybe define that it is "police unions" who should be defunded, not the entire bucket called "police"?

I am just curious at this choice of word that seems to be the clarion call, which means entirely different in the dictionary than what is being implied! :-/
I can tell, it never crossed my mind. Never saw anything related to slavery/race in this and still don't see anything now. In German the word Meister is also used, for example "Meisterberuf", "Lehrmeister", "Bäckermeister", "Weltmeister" - it has nothing to do with slavery, in most of the cases it just means a person who has mastered something. You have this to, e.g. "Master of Arts". So now what, should this also be renamed? "Skillful Person of Arts" maybe? This word bastardization reminds me really of 1984 and I fear it dumbs us all down.
Honestly, the only thing I like from this is the tracker blocking and no automatic footers/signatures.

But how well do they support plain-text only emails? I've been moving more and more to plain-text as my default setting for sending emails and it's pretty liberating. I'm also starting to read emails as plain-text first before switching to an HTML content-type, but that's more painful.
Mostly it's a combination of tools. We write a lot of custom color functions (using Sass). You can check the src here[0]. A common one we'll use is makeHighContrastColor(), which given two colors will automatically make the first one a 4.5 AA accessible contrast by adding tint/shade.

For palette generation, we do a lot of our work with tools like chroma.js[1] which can help with some colorblind math.

Interrogating the terminal emulator to get the current column is in fact a way smarter, more robust solution that will work regardless of the terminal's behavior when printing at the rightmost column. Also, fewer characters are exchanged with the TTY in the happy case.

Proof of concept, using Bash on Ubuntu 18.04:

Define this function:

getcol()
{
local savetty=$(stty -g < /dev/tty)
local ttyesp
stty raw min 16 time 100 < /dev/tty
printf '\e[6n' > /dev/tty
read -s -r -n 16 -d R ttyresp < /dev/tty
stty $savetty < /dev/tty
printf "%s\n" ${ttyresp#*;}
}

Then this PS1 for testing:

PS1='$(if [ $(getcol) != 1 ]; then echo '[noeol]' > /dev/tty; fi)\$ '

Test:

$ echo good output
good output
$ echo -n bad output
bad output[noeol]
$ echo -n # no output case
$

>Even if the bad acts are a "drop in the bucket," would that be acceptable?

No, I believe injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. Also, I agree with you the injustice is worse when committed by people in positions of authority acting in that official capacity.

That said I don't condemn everyone based on the acts of one or some, that goes for police and BLM.

>And isn't the fact that these bad acts are persistent—regardless of frequency relative to good acts—at the very least suggestive of systemic issues?

Yes, part of why I am happy about the proliferation of video and want to shine a light on the nameless, faceless prosecutors making decisions behind the scenes to sweep these tragedies under the rug to protect the officers. Again no one talks about it, no one knows the name of the prosecutor who initially watched the video and refused to bring the charges against George Floyd's murder(s), that helps fuel the systemic issues. Video will help with accountability, but that is only helpful for what happens on the streets, we need to also focus on behind the scenes on the nameless, faceless people protecting bad actors.

The difference between insurance and gambling is insurance is when the event that triggers the insurance is something one doesn't want to happen. In this case, she was indifferent to the outcome, so it was essentially just gambling.
Insurance and gambling are the inverses of each other.

In gambling, the unlucky losers pay the lucky winners. The people who picked the winning horse, who threw the better roll of the dice, who invested in the right stock get paid.

In insurance, the lucky winners pay the unlucky losers. The people whose house burned down, who came down with a really expensive disease, who lost their jobs get paid.
I think the difference would be an image loaded remotely vs. an image inlined into the email as an attachment? But I'm not well-versed in how images are handled in HTML emails.
While awful in their own right, it's important to understand the difference in both scale and reason between such border camps and e.g. Uyghur camps.
Gambling at a casino is trading expected value for more variance of outcome. Insurance is trading expected value for less variance.
Even if that is true wouldn't you agree that NCIS is mainstream? If it's not mainstream I don't know what is. Feel free to give a better example.

Let me remind you that the whole discussion started by me highlighting the popularity of The Last Airbender (due to Netflix, as someone pointed out) by comparing it to a mainstream show. I could have taken any popular show but thought taking the one topping the charts would be enough to illustrate it. Apparently not, and in the future I must carefully review the viewing habits of the whole HN community in order to make a point and not offend anyone.

So let me revise the comment: The Last Airbender is as mainstream as any other popular show today.
Insurance is marketed as opposite of gambling, which is brilliant. Psychology says that people would rather not lose $10 than win $10 so reframing it as "protection from loss" is great move.

The “Why?” Behind the Rise of Privacy Tech
The privacy tech community lacked an adequate place for founders, investors, and experts to come together and share skills, expertise, networks, and resources to fuel the rise of privacy innovation. To pile on, the multi-disciplinary nature of privacy doesn’t facilitate harmony or understanding across technologists, lawyers, entrepreneurs, press, and policy wonks.
The Rise of Privacy Tech bridges these tech-capital-expertise-communications-policy gaps and makes that braintrust accessible to founders and investors.

Chrome's Ctrl+F behavior is damned annoying for handling linguistic data. When I search for ʰ (aspiration), I don't want h (the letter, which appears in some of the column headers and most of the notes entries) - conflating the two makes searching for ʰ practically worthless. If I couldn't turn off "ASCII characters match everything that looks vaguely like them" in Google Sheets (i.e. enable regex search), I wouldn't use Google Sheets.

...and now that I've complained about it I notice that there are extensions to enable regex search in the browser itself, nice
If I were to guess, I'd say the same way adblockers work on browsers: blacklisting domains. Sendgrid was given as an example. They could also block using image size (1px) or location (end of message body).

That being said, I see your point. It's a game of Whack-a-Mole. What's to stop businesses from setting up a cname record on their domain to Sendgrid, for example?
Yep.

Isn't this extremely ambiguous in many cases because there are no clear definitions? For example, I could've placed a bet that there will be a pandemic in 2020, but when it actually happened, couldn't the bookie have used some arcane definition of a pandemic that the current one did not fit? Or is the definition agreed on beforehand?
