Seems possible. We use VDI at my employer for access to windows apps for developers on Macs. The performance is at least adequate although there are inevitable glitches in the experience, but the same is true of running in Parallels or VMWare. But we do rely on the ability to run the same docker containers locally that we deploy to our servers.
Agreed. I approach it more from a "Draw a line in the sand" perspective.

We start a project, pick our stack, pick framework versions and features to use. And then we code for a year using those decisions. We do watch to see what new things come up over the course of a year. We also learn lessons from our choices. When our year is over, we talk about new things, evaluate them, decide what we want to adopt, and move the line in the sand to include the changes that make sense. Then... for another year, stay where we are.
The objective here isn't to identify good students. That's just the cover story.

The objective is to select on criteria other than intelligence. For example, race.

You can actually get patent protection on things like dosage and indications. But it's much weaker than for composition-of-matter patents and often courts rule in favor of challengers.
The only reasonably argument for such a big % fee is that when software was shipped physically you would even have bigger "fees", as GP was saying.

People are willing to pay for those 30%, as long as iOS has an healthy supply of apps, apple will keep it.
tl;dr: use TypeScript, but don't worry so much about hooks.

---

I recently switched my JS + PureComponent mobile app to TypeScript and FC Hooks. I felt motivated to do so because:

- You cannot use hooks in PureComponent render(). The two modalities do not play nice together.

- Many of the libraries I use like react-spring and react-navigation have fully embraced hooks, sometimes without an HOC equivalent. So I felt forced to also embrace hooks or write complicated wrappers to facilitate them, for example new component lifecycle methods (e.g. componentDidFocus).

Some things I noticed...

1. TypeScript is amazing. Combined with Intellisense it has given me coding superpowers. I can write code faster and with dramatically more confidence.

2. You can incrementally shift your JS app to use TypeScript. You can even write type declarations for your JS code without rewriting it in TS. Most of your favorite libraries already have such type definitions (see DefinitelyTyped).

3. Hooks require a significantly different mental model than PureComponent. It feels horribly wasteful at first but apparently relies heavily on JS interpreter optimizations and memoization to achieve superior FMP performance[1]. My app feels noticeably snappier now, but it took a good bit of tuning to correct issues introduced during the port.

4. It IS indeed possible to write a functional wrapper that provides otherwise unavailable hook support for your Component or PureComponent. The tricky part is that you need to use a ref to invoke lifecycle methods on your wrapped component[2].

In retrospect I think I would recommend against porting an existing React project to hooks. However I would absolutely recommend porting to TypeScript, even if you do so slowly and incrementally.

Well, yeah, steroids are incredible, shame they have such severe side effects. Following a parvovirus B19 infection I developed severe joint problems(basically got advanced arthritis at the age of 28, how fun), and all it took to sort out was one steroid injection. I won't lie, for the next few days after the injection I felt like a superhuman, all the issues went away and in general I felt super great. Obviously that's not something you can continue doing because the side effects get really bad after a while, my doctor warned me that if the issues come back I probably won't be able to get another injection because the risk is too great, but for a one-off thing it was like a miracle cure.
Yes. Anything that isn't praise and "we'll all be better off" is taboo, and it doesn't matter what party, what your other positions are, it's sacrilegious.

It's not only immigration though, the same is true for e.g. European political integration. It's considered to be the only thing that keeps us from certain war, so any skepticism is understood as hyper nationalistic and willing to risk peace in Europe.
> it's almost amusing that the WHO was recommending not to use it

Why is everyone picking on the WHO constantly? It's like it's a reflex at this point, as far as I can tell designed to shift "blame" off of... other parties who got lots of stuff wrong.

In this case you're spinning really hard. The WHO guidance you're quoting, quoted in the article you link, was really mild: "“Given lack of effectiveness and possible harm, routine corticosteroids should be avoided
unless they are indicated for another reason,” WHO authors wrote." Is that really unreasonable? In January they didn't have evidence of effectiveness, and drugs have side effects. Sounds like correct reasoning to me. Do you actually disagree?

And in any case that quote is from a document in January, the current version (from March, also linked from the article) is here, and makes a bunch of complicated points about steroid use, citing contemporary research which was inconsistent about effect: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/clinica...

That's just a matter of the process node Apple's PowerPC chips were on. When RISC chips came out their big selling point was that they could be clocked many times faster than CISC chips at the time could because it was easier to pipeline them and because you could put the entire CPU on a single chip.
Geany was a useful tool a while back, but no longer is packaged for centos and lost its key selling point for me which was a decent GDB plugin debugger at a time where there weren't too many other UIs for GDB.

I'm not so bothered about lightweight as I need horsepower to build my projects anyway.

I think you may be conflating components and good old fashioned libraries. You can certainly make a component into a library but that's not their main use case. Their main use-case is for organization and reusability within a singular codebase.

I write reusable components all the time inside my codebases. I never have to target anything except the stack I'm using for my project.
It's amazing to me ivy league universities have done this in the face of uncertainty and extreme anxiety now that we have evidence that elongated sustained anxiety and chaos in one's life can reduce someone's IQ, I just didn't think they would be so blatantly obvious to do if when something globally devastating enough happened to be distracting to even rich white people as well, when students coming from poverty are dealing with distractions that are often worse regardless.

Sometimes it truly takes a rich white person to experience something before they believe it can happen to anybody else, and then they make a decision everyone else benefits from. Here's to new beginnings.

I'm curious how well rich white students who have never been exposed to chaos and uncertainty of this magnitude will fair in comparison to incoming students who have been dealing with it their whole life, a much better IMHO indicator for success in this "uncertain" times.
I'm totally fine without having a single Steam game. Most Mac users didn't have access for many years, and I'm not sure that gaming is a big use case for Macs, at least historically. I would be interested to see if this has changed.

And most software that I depend upon is either 1) open source, or 2) developed for Mac first and foremost with a solid backup app that is open source. The one exception is Microsoft Office, whose Mac versions are second thoughts and second rate software, but necessary for collaboration with a world that has locked itself into closed formats. Office would likely get an Arm version for Mac too, I would think.
It may not be dangerous (I don't know) but it's no longer allowed as treatment in the US

This is not true. It is still allowed as a treatment, and there are still studies going on using it in the US. The FDA emergency approval has been removed, which is more of a technical status. You can no longer acquire it from the government stockpile, and it is no longer recommended.

You are probably being facetious, but my wife is Vietnamese and her parents were boat people who fled the communists, didn't speak any English and had no money, then her dad got a job washing dishes, learned English at night, got into college, then got into medical school, started a chain of clinics, and retired a millionaire. You would not believe how much they despise current "progressive" politics and speaking with them about politics is basically impossible. They and their community / family follow what is happening with things like Harvard and partially as a result they are die-hard Trump supporters (among other things like their belief in religion, police, etc.).

I do not agree with all of these opinions, I am just telling you how this community, which is mostly still poor and not "model minority", views a lot of what is coming out of elite institutions in the name of progress and equality.
The herd immunity thing was the UK’s admittedly shambolic government; scientists and the medical profession immediately raised concerns. And I don’t think anyone’s saying the Oxford candidate vaccine will actually be available and approved for mass use this year?

"What a portable Mac should be" is going to mean different things to different people.

My perfect portable Mac (based on what's available) would be a 16" MBP, because I care about screen real estate first and foremost, followed by a desire to have a fast chip/gpu, battery life be damned. Other people prefer other models like the 13" MBP or the 13" Air for other reasons.
According to Wikipedia Dartmouth College was a male only college until 1972.

Woman did work as employees at the computer center, and bringing dates from nearby schools and colleges to the computing center was apparently a thing as students liked to show off their computer skills.

Also of note: unlike other colleges, students at Dartmouth didn't need to pay for computer time, creating both opportunity but potentially also the need to 'guard' against outsiders.

Without a zero day in the actual decoder (which is probably a possibility given the resources they poured into this), one way would be to send someone a playlist file that tells the player to fetch the video from some URL. Does the player on Tails obey proxy settings when playing URLs from an m3u? Maybe it was that easy or maybe they had to abuse something like fragmented nature of Linux media playback to find a neglected component that carelessly makes network connections, or find a way to call youtube-dl which is often integrated with these players.

I recommend my own self-hosted analytics tool (I know, right...), https://userTrack.net

It has everything you need to quickly iterate over your website (analytics, segments, heatmaps, session recordings and, coming soon: A/B tests). Privacy benefits aside, I think it's way faster to have everything in one dashboard instead of having to go to Google Analytics, than to Hotjar than to some other tool.
The code in it will still run and work but there are much better patterns and features now that help you write more succinct and less error-prone code.

ES6 and ES7 are widely supported now and are much better languages IMO.
The majority of issues with Nazis in government positions and industry had been addressed (partly of course, best effort ...) during the student revolts 1968-197x.

There was one case where an activist slapped a politician in the face and many similar things.

That generation became teachers from 1975 on, and public education was intensely focused on the history 1933-1945, sometimes to the exclusion of other periods. (I find that U.S. people are much better informed about Roman history than I am.)

This article has some issues. The author states that apple's best ARM chip is comparable to one in a "top of the line" imac. This is utterly false.

They also state that the A13 trounces every other ARM chip by 2x yet uses a chart that doesn't include the Qualcomm 865 which is in current flagship android phones.

It doesn't really hurt the main point of the article but the logical appeal falls flat when you don't seem to really understand what you are discussing at a technical level.
"Data are in current U.S. dollars."
Yeah, but it doesn't make up for the decade+ now that plain JSON (perhaps with the occasional URL, which still has to be interpreted correctly by client code!) has been called "REST-ful".

On top of that, JSON-LD is still mainly focused on networked object graph serialization. Unfortunately it manages to be a complex specification without providing the functionality that HTML came with out of the gates as a hypertext in an obvious manner.

HTML is a good-enough-to-great hypertext, we should probably stick with it.

As an outsider, I feel like React both does too much (a virtual DOM? Aren't current web standards enough to make a flower shop website?) and too little -- there's all these terms/technologies/subframeworks that people are using like "create-react-app" and "Redux" and so on.

It's neither an overarching architecture that makes normal web technology obsolete but runs on it, like Windows 95, nor a website generator like Wordpress. Web tech confuses me thoroughly, and I read HN all day.

They're not useless, but it's rather that when everyone's scoring high, it's not the best measure to differentiate candidates.

What happens in other countries, where they only use grades/GPA, is that you start using more decimals - but then again, that's only useful when the size/population of "perfect" scores is low enough.

If you have 10000 students with a perfect 4.0, and 2000 spots, then it's obviously impossible to just use grades - so it kinda loses its function for selection.

High Schools are on the student’s side when it comes to college admissions. So when you’re on the honors track of your HS you almost literally can’t fail because your HS is trying to get you into better schools. Your HS is playing the game with you.

> but in the worst case scenario, USA is kinda screwed by having all their chip manufacturing there.

Nobody should have any illusion: "in the worst case scenario" this "where" any chips are manufactured will be simply totally irrelevant. It's obviously a wrong model to plan for anything. The realistic model is the scenario which is not the "worst case." And then, the question is just is the "aid" reasonable or is it better compared to other existing or possible market forces.

Why giving away money "to spur the construction of chip factories in America" when

1) the U.S. is anyway an immensely big customer and simply deciding on how it buys what it needs can already influence the markets

2) the existing companies already have "chip factories" in America.
Sure, but it's not all or nothing.

ARM can eat the earth but it will not be a shift in a single year, I was suggesting a likely way forward and that is bottom up, coming from low end laptops to higher end laptops and eventually workstations and servers.

Just because it's not for -you- right now because you need local compilation does not mean a JS coder or a normal office worker would be unable to use an ARM based machine.

Nothing prohibits ARM from ever being workstation grade, it's just not the focus right now- but you seem to imply that because there's no workstation capable CPU that there never can be one, which I find disingenuous.

In the US, the iPhone has very close to a 50% market share. A majority market share is not strictly required to be considered a monopoly. Power over an entire market is the quality that is under consideration.

Can you have a successful app business in the US without being in Apple’s app store? I doubt it.

The rules are different in the EU and so is Apple’s market share over there, but since I live in the US I’m hoping that the Apple monopoly will be broken up over here as well.

> Yes, the VM approach won’t work if your underlying architecture changes.

Well, but that's Ben Thompson's point, I think. If it's true that developers prefer to deploy to the same architecture they develop on, then one of two things are possible:

1. Developers largely abandon the Mac.

2. ARM becomes more common on servers.

Apple is presumably betting on #1 (or is just willing to lose the developer audience), but it's a gamble.

Lots of developers don't need to deploy code to servers, of course, but it's easy to see a situation where the momentum is felt by all. macOS's UNIX support has made it, well, I don't quite want to call it the "de-facto" development platform, but something approaching that status.

I am not against more access to the phone, as long as it is a completely manual opt in. I don't want to download apps from the web browser. And I don't want banks or any other company to say: 'we require you to use our app, and we also require you to do that outside the App Store and thus make your own phone unsafe'.

As long as things don't get worse for some, I am fine with it getting better for others. I am not sure that can be the case though.

> Have not messed with the UEFI bits they added in recent versions so it may be different now. But I doubt it.

So you have not looked into the modern way PCs boot operating systems (as in this century), that is UEFI.

Yet somehow you decide to assume Microsoft (which is predominantly not a PC-vendor) have somehow done something something to the PC firmware which boots Windows?

Am I understanding you correctly?

If you’re 100% ignorant about how modern PCs boot and work, why do you even comment as if your opinion will bring anything to the discussion?

And if you’d bother researching things, as opposed to merely holding meanings against them, you’d know UEFI is a firmware level solution to the multi-boot problem, so that operating systems don’t have to solve it each on their own, differently and incompatible.

It’s quite great actually.
Well done. It gives me inspiration to go through other codebases (Rust compiler, Go compiler, .NET Roslyn, ...)
