Well-timed for you, but Pike could have benefited from doing this experimentation forty years earlier. Who knows where he would be now?
Sure, I conflated 'still compiles' with 'still the right pattern'. Its sorta like Javascript, ECMAscript has been backwards compatible but the ecosystem is a consistently moving target that users have to adopt their code to or feel left behind. E.g crossbeam and parkinglot. Also the bunch of nightly features that disappear but many use.

Sure the mainline stays clean but thats not what matters in practice.
Apple could argue they sell their Gift Card at 15% discount and they will not be disclosing / we will never know how much revenue of App Store are from those. Apple also give ~5 to 10% margin to Network Carrier for Apple Credit via Mobile Billing.

Which is to say 12% is a fairly low number.

I dont have a problem with 30% cuts per se, I have a problem with Apple forcing IAP, applying rules when ever they see fit aka Hey and Fastmail / Gmail Case, dictating price because you cant have your product more expensive than via the web.

Given the recent iPhone 11 pricing was actually lower than expected and Apple doesn't seems to be pushing ASP anymore, I would not be surprised if Apple moved some cost over to App Store department. Namely how the App Store revenue will support iPhone / iOS update model for 5 years that is much longer than industry average on Android.

They high-road the guy until their's no room left for discussion. They stop just short of calling him a racist authoritarian for naming his package RuboCop years ago. The creator isn't even from the US, it's a bit ignorant to assume the entire world shares their personal world view, and worse to assume the rest of the world should cater to it. I am entirely sympathetic toward the US' plight right now, and we have had protests in my city in a different country in solidarity. But it's a US systemic and cultural problem specifically, we probably shouldn't accuse random people from other countries of being racist just because they aren't immediately up to speed with your issues.
That's arguable. You could say, not everybody loves is delighted that the value(to themselves) of their work goes down, the more they do it. I think most people accept some form of taxation but annoyance at idea of diminishing returns is very understandable.
Unpopular opinion: What else do you expect Apple to do with applications that are no longer in compliance with their rules and regulations for the platform?

They could make you happy and grandfather applications in, but then that creates a different "rage" inducing scenario for new applications.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with their platform rules changes, the change was made, and now needs to be enforced.

>> I wonder what sort of progress would smooth over the extraordinary credit injection we've seen in 2020.

> A successful Mars colony, obviously :) Gaining a second planet might possibly justify this level of credit.

I'm not so sure. From the perspective of Earth economics, a Mars colony may be no different from a massive, useless boondoggle. The colony would obviously consume massive amounts of Earth resources, but what products and services would it provide Earth in return and is the production of those things on Mars economically justifiable?
That seems outright illegal misappropriation of funds, not just being "evil".

Which is why you have a bootstrapping problem bringing back the forest. The soil is only poor because there is such a vibrant ecosystem that nutrients are constantly getting absorbed into living material as fast as they can be retrieved from dead material. The vibrancy consumes everything rapidly. But if you destroy the forest, you destroy the stored nutrients.

But as to raw material, surprisingly little of the physical bulk of trees actually comes from soil. It comes from the air! This is where the Carbon in the CO2 -> O2 process comes into play.

Ask HN: Ideas for open source projects about Algorithms?
Hello everyone. I am trying to improve my Github profile, sharing projects, etc. I am interested in Algorithms (I have a Master Degree in CS and Algorithms classes were the ones I enjoyed most, I took some courses on Heuristics too).

However, I find difficult to create projects on Github about them. It seems projects in other areas are simpler for this: Machine Learning has Kaggle, frontend has libraries, but what should I do for Algorithms?

It seems obvious that creating a new algorithm would be quite impossible (or improve a known algorithm), and implement well known algorithms doesn't sound interesting or challening either.

> What do you think happens [to] the tenants when the landlord's properties go into foreclosure

That actually depends on where you live - here in Ontario, we have laws that give tenants the right to stay even if the landlord sells/loses the property. The new owner must allow the tenants to stay, with the same lease terms, even if the new owner is a bank.
Very fast for me.

Facebook was fined $5,000,000,000 by the FTC for what the president's chief executive of campaign's company (Cambridge Analytics) did: they used military info ops on American people in an election.

And now they want editorial control over publicly owned information services?

Why don't they (the installed alt-right) go claim that the government deserves editorial control of the papers as well?

Clearly that's the issue needing attention here; not obstructing an obstruction investigation.

> Why `alphabet_pointer = alphabet;` points exactly to the first element in the array? Why not the whole array?

Someone decided it has to be so, because it is pretty convenient. Usually when dealing with an array, you want to do things with its elements and therefore it's extremely convenient that an expression with array type is converted to a pointer to the array's first element. If that didn't happen, then you'd very often have one extra layer of annoyance to go through in order to access array elements.

> Why not the last?

The first element is convenient because then you can reach for the other elements by adding a zero-based offset or index to the pointer. How often do you operate on an array starting from its end? How often do you like to work with negative indices? That's why not the last.

> Can we have a pointer that accepts a whole array?

We can have a pointer that points to a whole array:

int a[50];
int (*p)[50] = &a;

printf("%zu %zu %zu\n", sizeof a, sizeof a / sizeof *a, sizeof *a);
printf("%zu %zu %zu\n", sizeof *p, sizeof *p / sizeof **p, sizeof **p);

I'm all for diversity in thought - typically though this kind of thing gets flagged on HN.

After 9/11, invasion of Afghanistan and both Iraq wars there were songs banned from the radio and people were thrown out of malls for wearing t-shirts that were anti-war. Conservatives were all for that or had little to say about stifling free speech concerns. The argument was its private property and companies can do what they want.

There were plenty of pro war advocates that brow beat anyone who disagreed with any of those military actions. There was very little anti war sentiment on any of the major networks in the run-up to Iraq 2003. The disparity of pro war to anti war advocates on all the major networks and cable news channels was heavily tilted towards being in favor of invading Iraq. I recall watching Nightline on ABC when it still did heavy and serious news, when Ted Koeppel hosted it. They had a very honest forum about both sides, it was very even handed and I felt like everyone in America should have seen it, as it may have had more influence on the country. No one was watching it at 11:30 EST, and quite frankly it was too late. Nobody at Nation Review complained. It was all too convenient for them.

And now that the mood of the country has shifted so much that even Rush Limbaugh has the hosts of a black radio program, and even the typical right wing blowhards concede maybe there's a problem with racism and policy brutality. And the National Review, which has trained the political and cultural attack dog, that typically goes after those on the opposite side of political spectrum, suddenly they are afraid that the monster they've helped create is coming back to get them. And the comparison is so weak its pathetic. Just because NYT subscribers (full disclosue I am one) didn't think they should have published is crappy editorial. Suddenly we're the Chinese Cultural Revolution. This is pathetic.

Tom Cotton, a senator who could have published his editorial anywhere, and the NYT, a barely center left newspaper got grief about publishing it. No one is shutting down Tom Cotton, the subscribers of the NYT could and would have heard about Senator Cotton's ideas anywhere. What a bunch of whiners.

Things You Need to Understand about Swift
There's one thing that I've noticed and it's the memmory subsystem. SPECINT and SPECFP dabble on the "raw power" of the chip, and it'd seem in that area the A13 would be king, but as most "micro"-benchmarks go, we no from real world performance that they don't quite tell the whole story.

So I went looking for performance numbers related to memmory, and found some anandtech tests[0], the summary being:

* L1, L2 and L3 are comparable to AMDs 4900 processors (which I'll take as baseline for "best x86 mobile", with a grain of salt).

* LPDDR4 1600 MHz vs AMD's LPDDR4 4266Mhz (dual channel, can't find if A13 is DC too, but I'd expect it to be).

* RAM latencies in excess of 340ns, vs "65+"ns for AMDs. Let's take that as "sub 100ns" since they're not giving straight numbers[1].

* RAM bandwidth to memory in the order of 20-40GB/s depending access patterns. That places it around the x86 "counterpart" which is capable of "around" 25-50GB/s

* Bandwidth in the caches is different too, but I didn't want to risk a bad interpretation on my side. It'd seem the Ryzen hits larger numbers (so better), but I admit I'm not used to reading these charts and feel a bit "out of the water" there.

Seeing all that... I'm not sure the memmory system is on par to what x86 has to offer with its "best contender" right now. And let's also remember that Intel is still beating AMD in memory latency (which helps them drive better numbers in some "real world" benchmarks as we see in certain games, for example, where Intel still leads despite the "raw power" Zen2 has shown).

My take is that a "slow memory system" could be a big drawback for a CPU in real world tasks, resulting in a chip that, on paper should be great, but once you sit at a computer to use it "feels slow".

Of course this is complex to test and try, and far more than I can analyze sitting at home driving searches over the internet.

It sounds like they're just taking existing bounty money for themselves. Only if your bounty is from before 2018, you can only redeploy it, and not get your money back. Any bounty from between 2018 and today is just lost if it doesn't get claimed within 2 years. Future bounties probably won't be on this platform.

Sounds like a quick money grab while destroying your brand. Were they recently bought by a hedge fund or something?
Of course.
Yeah, what I was trying to illustrate is that with enough contextual knowledge the amount of things one has to memorize becomes comparatively smaller. Basically if one learns and remembers Euler's Identity and the expansion of e^x = (x^n)/(n!), then you don't really need to memorize the trigonometric expansions.

Reading over it I guess that may have been your initial point.
Great. Next time I'll just silently downvote and move on.

And I think it is unreasonable to assume that a single bad take on a subject made by an anonymous user years ago should be held as an example that there is an overwhelming movement of harming the OS community. It is simultaneously possible that plenty of individuals have uninformed, clumsy approaches to a topic and that it is not an overwhelming movement or agenda.
I think it's a consequence of gamifying absolutely everything. If you had a online tool I used to quietly manage production at my cardboard box factory and then you went and added leader boards, badges, xp, recognition points and an influencer score, then box manufacturing better be pretty bloody exciting for me from now on. We now have an entire generation of software developers who have never known these tools without the gamified experience.

The op-ed draws a distinction between those who are peacefully protesting and those who were rioting and looting. Dropping that context seems unfair and misleading.

This paragraph - which is probably the source of the criticism - is clearly in the context of how to deal with rioters who are breaking the law by causing substantial damage.

"One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers. But local law enforcement in some cities desperately needs backup, while delusional politicians in other cities refuse to do what’s necessary to uphold the rule of law."

> This case is about public officials suing the press.

In this case, Facebook is "the press". Keep in mind that there is no legal definition of what it means to be "the press" — rightfully so. NYT v Sullivan is particularly relevant because, in the case, NYT carried out a full page ad by supporters of MLK Jr containing several factual inaccuracies, such as the number of times King had been arrested during the protests, what song the protesters had sung, and whether or not students had been expelled for participating. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that, unless you can prove "actual malice", the free dissemination of information is protected by the Constitution.

Those that post on FB are already held liable. The whole point is that Facebook Inc isn't liable. If you were to post the text of the first chapter of Harry Potter in a FB post, Facebook Inc would not be liable for copyright violation, it would be the individual (or association) that posted it.

> In my humble opinion, it should be perfectly possible for citizens to sue their politicians for being lied to.

It already is possible to do this, it's just practically infeasible. If you are able to prove "actual malice" — I.e. if you can prove that a politician knowingly lied to their constituents, they can already be held liable for damages. The burden to prove this is high enough that you would need to find documented evidence that the individual in question knew the truth and specifically lied. Remember, it is not illegal to make political promises that you can't keep, and it is not illegal to be publicly wrong about the facts.

> Civilians should be able to trust the elected leaders' words.

No disagreements there. The only issue is that the First Amendment makes it essentially impossible regulate how those words are disseminated.
Well, at 13 years old, Carlsen (#700) was already giving Kasparov (#1) a run for his money while looking kind of bored and casually checking out the other matches around them [0] so I'm fairly sure a GM rank on a website isn't really something he worries about that much now that he's spent 120 months as world's #1 and holds the record for highest rated player in chess history.

Kasparov still holds the title for most time spent at #1 at some impressive 255 months though. [1]

You really misunderstand the tracking-point platform. It's a holdover system to calculate windage and drop on a moving target locally on the system, not some kind of visual analysis engine that does target determination.

It provides "Hey, you need this much windage" not a shoot/no-shoot decision. It's also entirely on-system so the customer owns it, it's not running somewhere in the cloud.
