> The Multicore benchmark compares a 8 core with a dualcore which is a bad faith comparison.

How so? Are we comparing real-world performance or artificially limited what-if-scenarios? That's my critique with these benchmarks in general.

I don't care what a single A13/A14 BIG-core does in a short burst load situation when the context is code compilation that takes a minute or more on a system with multiple cores.

Multi-core is a bad faith comparison you say? I'd say it's an Apples-to-apples comparison if anything, since I usually don't artificially restrict my machine when trying to get work done as fast as possible.

So I'd argue that it's actually your perspective that's just theoretical: oh look - this dual-core [technically hexa-core while we're on the topic of being theoretical] SoC is faster than this octa-core, provided we choose a short, bursty workload and limit ourselves to a single core. You know, as one does when compiling Chrome or a any big software...

Like, contexts where compilation times actually matter as supposed to compiling this small utility takes only 0.89s on the A13X as opposed to 1.2s on the i9. I know, I know, the difference adds up quickly, like to an whole hour after just 11600 compilations. Theoretically, that is. sigh
Yes, the post says exactly that - forking the HTML is easy, the hard part is convincing developers to use that fork instead of the more featureful "mainstream" version.

Consider that these are the same devs complaining about the feature differences between Chrome and Firefox, let alone the vast majority of developers would consider targeting something like Internet Explorer 11 (which already contains A TON of functionality, WAY more than you'd need for a "trimmed down fork" and is still a VERY complex project if you wanted to make a full clone from scratch, despite it being a few years out of date) as something they'd do only in their worst nightmares.

This is why such propositions are hard. Well, that and all the existing web sites that use the existing tech, most of them not being made by huge corporations with big pockets and often are left alone to work with barely any modifications (web development is often made fun of for being too brittle, but this brittleness exists at the framework level, not the web browser level that has very strong backward compatibility).
As I said in another comment here, I and lots of other commenters misread it that way too. I definitely find it funny they took "on the edge" to mean "anywhere on my local network", rather than just on the actual device capturing the data.
Benzos can have a paradoxical effect of increasing distress and disturbance.
When starting to program so much abstractions take place. So explaining code paths step by step really helps. Plus writing it out, makes it easier to tackle it step by step. Then taking this flow and explaining it to my senior give me great points to ask questions.

WeMo Scooter finishes Series A fund raising
I would love for me to tell you that you were joking, but this sounds just crazy enough to be probably true. A cursory search confirms that the NIC seems to have a rather active role in DASH implementations:

"To support out-of-band management, a client system typically requires a Network Controller that supports out-of-band management tasks, such as the Broadcom 5761." https://www.amd.com/system/files/documents/out-of-band-clien... (out-of-band management is the "it works while the machine is supposedly off" stuff)

But it also needs to talk to the system BIOS / UEFI, so I guess something else needs to be running as well? "DASH functionality requires a communication channel between the hardware platform features, system BIOS, and the Broadcom NetXtreme™ Gigabit Ethernet Controller." (http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01944865). I mean, the PCIe interface is useless if the other end is actually off (and not just supposedly off).
link returns status code 418 for me
Wonderful suggestion. Find the right medium first.

I think programming is an iterative approach. If he's experienced with existing codebases, adding features and bugfixing, the existing structure and design might still seem like "magic" - because someone else figured all that out. That historical process become "lost art" to those not involved. While most people can learn to follow a map, very few create the opportunity to sweat out the ability to be able to create the maps themselves.

In design, there's both a bottom-up and a top-down approach. Both are required for a software developer:

1) Have the person build a small meaningful project from scratch using the very smallest building blocks (ie. stdlib). Have them build on top of that again. Make them iterate on design and codebase. Refactoring becomes a natural learning experience in its own why and how.

2) Have the person design the simplest overall system architecture from memory as free-form drawings (or other preferred method). The fewer boxes and lines initially, the better. Have them iterate on adding details for components and subsystems. The idea should form how free-form drawing is natural and the results be usable in understanding, improving, optimizing, discussing and communicating.

3) Combine #2 and #1, preferably as free-form personal projects. Just this time you start with #2. Knowing #1 is solvable by iteration; iterate on #2 and try out designs in #1. Inventions should be prototypes that are thrown into garbage bin until satisfactory design and code structure, or a better idea, has arrived.

This is by no means easy for most or not time-consuming. So a person must learn to love the processes and intricacies of discovery and invention, in order to put enough effort to improve. If there's resistance to go forward with one approach, one need to invent other approaches that works individually, so that some progress can be maintained. Developers are problem-solvers after all.

Alternatively, there might be other type of work needed to be done that suits the personality better, and where results flow easier.
I see that first link kind of buried the lede in footnote 2: " The number of casualties from attacks by Islamic extremists has been greater than by right-wing extremists, largely because of a few cases like Omar Mateen’s Pulse nightclub attack that killed 49 people and wounded 53 others."

So right wing terrorism is a greater threat, unless you are worried about being killed.

Belated.

I can think of many exampled that have worked out. In some cases, apps like Gambling apps are not allowed to use the Play store at all, and yet manage to just fine and get installed directly as APKs.

It definitely varies business to business, and I'm not saying that I wouldn't put my app on Google/Apple, but that is because I do need the discovery.

In the case of Basecamp, they bring their own customers and network. This is true of a lot of big companies and Enterprise apps (some of which have exceptions already).
It used to be custom silicon bit added from PowerVR but they switched to their own custom GPU architecture around the iPhone 8.
I've developed for x86, and deployed on x86. Some years later we decided to add arm support. Fixing the only on arm bug made our x86 software more stable. Turns out some 1 in a million issues on x86 that on arm happen often enough that we could isolate them and then fix them.

Thus I encourage everyone to target more than one platform as it makes the total better. This even though there are platform specific issues that won't happen on the other (like the compiler bug we found)

There's nothing to turn on if you don't have a "participating app".
That's a fair comparison though, if you're a Mac user and this machine is twice as fast and gets 5 more hours on a charge, you'll probably be persuaded to upgrade. If you aren't a Mac user I don't think they need to convince you now, they need to convince the developers and artists to stay on the platform.

Both. German financial regulation is kept intentionally incompetent to not annoy the bosses and their politician friends. It is corruption hidden and performed by incompetence imho.
> Creatives using Adobe

Adobe has been pushing hard to get 'real' versions of all their apps on iOS. LR on my iPad Pro often runs better than LR on my 2017 MBP for example. Adobe has also been pushing transitioning to cloud subscriptions so users are less likely to be stuck on old versions.

My guess is that Adobe is better positioned for a transition than they ever have been in the past.
Somewhat related but I just wanted to brag on my dad:

My dad is a pastor that runs Sunday mornings at a relatively large church. Roughly 600 people on a Sunday morning over a few services; not mega-church, but definitely bigger than the vast majority of Methodist churches. Over time he's become the "technology guy". He's not (or at least wasn't) particularly more competent than most, but wasn't afraid to learn and get his hands dirty, so to speak. Now I would call him plenty sav.

One of his passions is bringing the church to people who can't come to the building. A lot of personal visits to shut ins and hospitals, and recently this meant live streaming. We already had a two camera broadcasting set up, so it was pretty simple to plug it in to the internet (some sort of turn key "send audio and video to this box with an ethernet cable and we"ll stream to everywhere elsed" kinda deals) and off we go.

As an even more aside, I just want to shout out that since the epidemic started he basically started producing 3-4 hours of video each week to live stream.

Anywho, this lead to him asking me how eldery-proof we could make in-home streaming for folks who can't always leave the house, or maybe want to watch VODs if they miss a week or something. I mused that the turn key solution he was using made a few TV streaming options (apps on Fire TV, Roku, Android, etc.) and you could probably set one of those up to start automagically on boot or something.

About two weeks later he calls me up and, to my genuine amazement, has actually come up with a solution. He set up a Roku with a remote that custom app buttons, set up the streaming app (again, this is an app specifically for streaming our church) on one of those buttons, and set the app up in such a way that the first button hops onto the live stream. He even set up pretty good UX studies with a bunch of elderly folks to make sure his instructions were clear!

He ended up getting sponsored for about a hundred of them from a few generous folks around the church and personally set them up in folks homes.
My read of what you quoted: White supremacists may be eager to hurt people, but that doesn't translate to lethality.

This is just political flamebait. If you think this is some phenomena purely constrained to cities you're being lazy at best or wilfully ignorant and driven by ideology, which is probably more accurate.

it’s bc of iOS and AppStore. No serious dev will port their desktop apps to that.

Also good luck to Apple if they lock down macOS the same way.
I'm not complaining about what you're doing. I'm describing what I want. You can accuse me of being unreasonable, but people said the same thing about remote controls. Who'd be lazy to not just want to walk over and switch a channel on the TV? And countless other conveniences.

I'm also not asking YOU to do anything differently. You have a day job, and with however many kits you've made, no way in heck this would compete with YOUR day job. I also want a blueberry plant in my back yard. Neither you, nor this ereader guy, nor even the local garden store have any obligation to give me that. It's a free market.

But yes, I do think there's a pretty good business in providing that last little bit of service. I'd pay for it, and I suspect many others would as well. You can view this as an integration of Digikey+Shapeways+PCB. Or you can view this as an expansion of AdaFruit/SEEED/etc. to be more open. Or you can view this as moving cheap Chinese manufacturing up-market.

And I'd buy an open source Kobo too, for that matter. There's a world of difference between a rootable device and an open source device too. Most rootable devices I have are now sitting in storage somewhere, unused, when the fun ran out and the maintenance overhead kicked in. One or two were never used, as rooting became a pain-in-the-butt, some feature I needed was missing, or there was some hardware change between the rooted version and the one I bought. Most open source devices I have are in active use, some with a few tweaks.

I'm glad to support open. I value my freedom. I also like having things which keep working, and open mitigates risks (if the manufacturer goes under, the community sometimes takes over). I'm glad to pay for that.

However, I'm busy, and I'm not glad to buy a headache. That goes double for people less technical than you or me, ones who want projects for kids, etc.
And for it to work people need to trust it.

Graceful Request Retries in Ruby Applications
They did mention that they are compression the image data with H.265, so depending on the quality level, low-contrast areas might get smeared out. Also, there are some depth resolving errors here and there, which might be solved by using better algorithms. Or this might be an artifact from compressing the layer geometry (they used the Draco library, but did not specify in the paper what parameters they used). The paper mentions some of the limitations they encountered.

Clang (not LLVM) was made by Apple [1, 2]. They specifically hired the lead developer of LLVM to build it because they were not happy with GCC. At this point many other companies have also contributed, but Clang is first and foremost developed as Apple's compiler. It is a safe bet that they will optimize it for new Apple hardware.

Let me try to clear something up for you. The people protesting on the streets right now don't give a shit what color the boot on their neck is. Systemic racism doesn't just mean the system is full of racist individuals. It means that processes that make up the system lead to racist outcomes. And, yes, Black individuals can participate in racist power structures that hurt Black populations, and of course racism doesn't have a particular political party.

Stop treating politics as a game of football and look at how power is distributed and who benefits from that distribution. Material analysis, not color coded appearances.
I personally know people, who invested considerable amounts of money into Wirecard after the COVID-19 crash and even one, who invested last week on the day the stock took its first dip.

At the first point in time the shortselling, the FT articles and the ongoing BAFIN investigation were known. At the second point in time it was known, that they hired there buddies from KPMG, who could not find anything wrong, but even they were critizising the quality of their report, EY could not find the missing money and the public prosecutor in Munich started a criminal investigation.

They still invested. One of them is a computer scientist and CEO of a small business, the other one has a PHD in business administration and works at a big three consulting firm.

Even highly educated people seem think of investments inherently as pyramid schemes. "It fell, so it has to go up again next!" "It cannot rise further, it's already at its all-time-high." No consideration for the actual value being created. At some level, you cannot blame them, TINA and monetary policy actually make it true. Auditing and rating companies, who are supposed to help here are a joke, making it all seem like a game.

It digusts me. On one end of the spectrum, money is something real and valuable. It decides, for how long you have to work, whether you have to live in your car or what you can afford to eat that day. On the other end, it's a a surreal thing. The direction it goes is controlled by private (!) instutions with enourmous amounts of power.

I hope that more people, who did not need the money lost it, than those who needed it. I also hope, that not only Wirecard staff will get prosecuted, but auditors have to pay for this in some way.

Why do we allow auditors to be private institutions with a profit motive, who are also doing business consulting on top of it?
There have been way too many scandals around supplement purity for me to buy into his narrative. Like if someone told me a given brand of fish oil supplements contained 10% of the stated dose, was rancid and full of heavy metals I wouldn't be the least surprised.

But if a fish oil medicine had those issues, I would be shocked, because the consequences for the guilty party would be much bigger, a huge circus of lawsuits and people losing their licenses. That's how I imagine it anyway.

The other part of that is that extends further. And also has its mirror. Who poses a greater threat in Saudi Arabia, the local Wahhabis or foreign secularists? Who would get pursued?

To be honest, I feel profound gratitude to the TL/DR comment author who cared to read the article and write the summary for me. And sort of annoyance towards the original article author. I believe everybody MUST learn to write good TLDRs/abstracts/conclusion/summaries for their own articles or GTFO. "Someone takes the time to post an interesting article"? How do you know it's interesting before you read it? How do you feel once you waste time to read a multi-page article just to realize the valuable knowledge you have acquired actually fits in a twit? Those who find themselves actually interested in the details and everything else can go on and read them, those who don't should not be forced. If you care about your propagating ideas - take care to write a TL/DR.

The old urban legend is that Vitamin D brings you down and Vitamin C, up. Milk if tripping too hard, orange juice to trip harder.
On a side note, I wonder what this will actually mean for Macs. If the move to ARM is part of a strategy for unifying iOS and macOS, we can expect productivity to drop as macOS veers more towards the touch-and-fullscreen UI of iOS.

As far as I understand it, the OS is the main selling point of Macs and a substantial change in the user experience will probably alienate their core user base.
If you are killed it doesn't matter how many others died with you. I personally tend to be more worried about things that happen often and are widespread, than things that happen seldom and are more localized.
