From a business point of view, it makes sense to waste a few days once in a while to support it.

But sometimes you can't support it without huge hacks like implementing everything on CPU with WebAssemply. For example MediaSource is disabled on Safari for iPhones (but enabled since a few months for iPads). I think the only reason is to force developers to publish apps in the AppStore. Which is a pain.
That argument is outdated by a decade or so. Sure, there's still some college students, but the ones from a decade ago now work in the big tech firms, NYT, etc.

> I'd suspect the reason is that these benchmarks are long enough, that the Intel CPUs just end up completely throttled down after the first ~30-60s, while the A12Z does not.

The reverse is most likely true. The macbook has a bigger aluminum body to absorb and dissipate heat. In addition, it has an active cooler with heat pipes to conduct away that heat for ejection from the system.
I'm hanging in there, thanks for asking.

In mid-March, after a messy parting from a startup, I left Manhattan for my parents' place in the suburbs, intending to stay for a few weeks; three months later, here I am.

I had blue periods where I got nothing done and just scrolled through reddit all day. Today I am enjoying running barefoot, the 16 hours of daylight, and the sheer luck of getting along well with my parents.

That last point is the big one, to me. I guess if I had any general advice, it would be to put energy into having good relationships with your parents, if you can. They won't be here forever.

And then Apple would cut Intel off at the knees in return. Microsoft doesn't really have any CPU design patents, Apple has thousands, so they'd be treated differently.

It probably just hooks mmap() (or mprotect()) and looks for when the JIT sets PROT_EXEC on memory it hasn't translated yet.

Here's a tutorial for a simple JIT that uses mmap() with PROT_EXEC to write machine code to before executing:

Late Stage Capitalism is a nonsense concept.

Perfect competition is a very simplistic assumption from unrealistic late 19th century economic model by Walras. That is fine for econ 101 but its clearly not what economists have understood for a long time.

Also, water markets are inertly political for the most part, so political economy actually gives you far more insight into how they work then Walrasian micro economics.
> Governments employ 20 percent or more of workers in nine states

The claim was public sector unions, not government employees. And the claim was 20% of votes, not 20% of workers. A substantial share of government employees are not unionized; this is particularly true of federal government employees; and a substantial share of voters are not employed (some unemployed, but more out of the workforce, looked students, homemakers, and retirees.)

And nine states leave 41, or 82% of the total, where even that far-from-what-you-originally-claimed situation still doesn't apply.
Looks nice, but I'd need an easy web client too. Currently, I use ticktick (android app and web).

I think emulation would be interpreting the instructions one by one and doing what they say in software (a bit like Python's byte code interpreter). Rosetta translates the binary to another (now native) binary, and then runs it like normal, and much of the time this will be an ahead-of-time once off translation.

Mobile Development Is All Edge Cases
Yes: Google heavily promoted their format but unless you’re serving a high volume of traffic it’s not worth the cost of doubling your storage and maintaining a separate toolchain to lower your transfer by perhaps 10%. By now more devices have hardware support so its performance is more competitive but at this point I’d go straight to AV1.
A "counterexample" like infinite negative value breaks the system so easily that you ought to consider whether it's out of bounds, instead of being so certain that it's a counterexample.
I had - without questioning it - assumed you were commenting from a Western Democracy yourself. It is beautifully eye-opening to be confronted with my own bias so starkly. In fact, I am British, and I think our system has many of the same issues as that of the US. Of course we have our own issues, mostly stemming from what I perceive as a delicate sensibility which is pervasive in British society, and is the subject of decades of jokes at our expense.

I wrote, and rewrote the rest of this comment 3 times, before I gave up, and started from the top of the thread again. Now I have decided to stop exhausting myself over what might be acceptable to an indefinable demographic (HN commenters reading this individual thread) for me to say.
Wow, your views cannot be more misinformed.

Is there something wrong with the AVIF decoder's chroma upscaling? E.g. look at "Kodim 3", where the colored hats overlap each other. There's severe blocking, where I'd expect blurring instead. All the other formats blur, which is much less distracting.
But that's only true as a one-way information dump. If it takes more than 1 person to make that video, you've lost time rather than gained.

If it's truly collaborative, with each person contributing on the fly, then there's no way to make that 15 min video without all participants anyhow.
You said it yourself: production at scale is the only place where the current pricing makes sense. That's fine, but it means I'm not going to be using Amazon k8s for most of my workloads, both k8s and non-k8s.

Possibly they'll do something like WSL/WSL2 to provide an ARM based Linux kernel interface and then use Rosetta2 to translate the x64 code in user space to ARM?

Having ARM only containers would be mostly useless (it's technically possible, but I bet there are very few ARM container images around).
This is a weird comparison, while I get the comparison of non-transparent images jpeg or webp are probably fine.

However the main benefit of webp is alpha backgrounds or transparency. It can destroy PNG when it comes to compression and size.

Awesome.

Most of my dependency chains are tree-like, with minimal cross-linking, so infinite-depth subtasks will handle most of my use-cases.

Collaboration is essential to getting things done -- taskwarrior's siloed tasklists have been a big blocker for me. Very interested to explore what list-level sharing can open up.

Will have to give Tasks.org a try. Figuring out a desktop/cross-platform option is a long-term need, as most of my tasks are on the desktop. Capturing tasks (a la GTD) is as simple as popping open a terminal (Win+A for me)

t add +[ListName] Thing I need to do

Ctrl+D

and I'm back to work. I can modify the task with dependencies and other decorations later. What I can't do with TW is project/list-level sharing and calendar integration, something Tasks.org appears to do gracefully.

Since Safari (and WebKit) are the only available Web-rendering engine for iOS and iPadOS (and the default one for MacOS), it's kind of important to be able to at least render usefully on it.
When you convert JPEG to WebP, you're converting data in a lossy format to another lossy format. Of course you're going to get good JPEG to WebP compression, because you're starting with a low-quality source. If you start with a lossless image (RAW/PNG/TIFF/etc.) instead of a JPEG, you might get different results.
I feel you. This has been such a shitty time just in general around the world, and I've been having a hard time personally as well. During the past month I've been pretty unproductive at work (partially out of my control), we had to put down our dog of 15 years, my grandpa had a stroke, and one my uncles has an extremely aggressive form of cancer. Luckily I'm still in good health, and I don't know anyone with covid-19.

Strangely the coffee thing struck a chord with me. When I was having a bad time some weeks ago (worries around grandparents and covid) I got really frustrated because on top of that I spilled water on my keyboard.

Like, in the big picture, that's not important at all. But that send me over the edge into complete frustration. Was pretty unproductive afterwards.

I'm sure everything will turn out fine for you though, hang in there!

> They have given in to internal activists who have no desire to learn, think, or report the truth.

I am shocked and saddened this is where we are as a society. Literally one man's opinion distressed so many people, in such a way, they felt the need to raise an army and then descend on their employer and demand they remove, recant and say it will never happen again?

We have arrived at a time in place where you cannot have your own opinion without fear of the rage mob coming after you.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

Deliberate bad actions can also be mistakes.

If people don’t accept that they made I mistake then yeah, that’s an issue – and one where firing should again become an option, sure (basically that unwillingness to accept that is then the second offense).

I do agree that the situation here is bit more complex since the public is involved.

This seems serious enough that, I think, the challenge is more about the NYT making transparent their process, their decisions and what they did.

I think that’s even more valuable than just firing someone. They should investigate which processes, guidelines, rules, etc. contributed to that behavior and how and wether they plan to change that. They should outline what they communicated to that reporter. They should apologize.

I want an explanation and improvements, not someone to be fired. Also because I think more often than not people who actually did make a mistake are unlikely to do that again.

They could be the problem and actually toxic, sure, that’s always a risk. But I think that’s ok.
Personally, I call it the Dan Brown effect, because when I was a teen I read "The Da Vinci Code" (I am not expert) a few months before reading "Digital Fortress" (I am somewhat knowledgable) and I found it so profoundly bad that it mad me angry for wasting my time.
Are you sure that’s Chrome and not a website which selects the format based on the client’s advertised capabilities? I know Facebook did that and it confused a lot of people when a .jpg wasn’t a JPEG.
E2EE means the analytics data is encrypted by the visitor, using public key cryptography. The secret key to decrypt that data is only known of the website owner. Anything I store is encrypted, including that secret key, and the source key is derived from the user's password, which never hits the server (using the SRP protocol for authentication).

The only thing I can see is how much data a website generated, but not what this data means.

And yes, the whole purpose is to hide the data from me. I don't want to know who visits your website, how long they stayed or what pages they visited. The website owner may want to know, but I can tell them without having to know myself.

Then what is the point in docking at all? Now you have to keep track of what's on the dock and what's on the phone. Plus, by the time you integrate all this into a dock, you basically have something that costs as much as an inexpensive PC, so why bother?
I'll agree that Lieberman played a large role in the death of the public option. That said it was eleventh hour and further changes to the bill would require more time to rectify, and Republicans were still involved down to the wire, even if they didn't vote for it.

You'll see wild swings in these numbers depending on how specific you're being about the type of place being rented and even between services doing the reporting.

Here's a March 2019 article from CBS bay area (based on data from the rental site Zumper):

"Median 1-Bedroom Rent In San Francisco Soars To Nearly $3,700 A Month"

"Elsewhere in the Bay Area, San Jose’s median rent for a one-bedroom was $2,540 (5th highest in the country), while in Oakland it was $2,320 (9th highest)."

Factual accuracy is the cornerstone of the profession.

In reporting out a story, it is the journalist's responsibility to obtain factual and verifiable information. People are the center of the story, and using their real names adds credibility to the story.

Now, there are circumstances where reporters use pseudonyms for sources --
mainly to protect victims of sex crimes -- or anonymous sources entirely. The
latter is constantly debated among journalists. However, the consensus is using
anonymous sources is necessary when all other avenues of getting someone on the
record is exhausted or the story is so explosive that people close to the
information are willing to shed light on an issue so long as their name is not
used in print, mostly from fear of retribution, which is more common than you
think.
I think your best bet will be to use a wrapper around it: https://docs.rs/embree-rs
I'm in a similar situation. As a UNIX, command-line user I've noticed that every release they make things harder for us. Yeah, Homebrew is great, but Apple doesn't support it and they could break things anytime.

Lately, I've been doing most of my dev work on a Windows 10 machine using WSL. It's come a long way and is very usable now.
This resonates so much. In a very similar boat myself. A near four year old and near two year old, and a partner that is not as outdoorsy as myself makes for incredibly distracting days (toddler politics are crazy; those who know, know). As soon as I end my work day, I get both babies outside because they need that intensive activity more than I need to sit on the couch and be consumed by depression and anxiety.

Doesn't help that despite a 20% salary cut, my hours of operation have only increased as my employer furloughed a large chunk of our workforce. My ol lady works on the weekends, so even after working 50 semi-productive hours a week (7AM to 6PM most days, sometimes later) I don't get a break as she works twelves Friday through Sunday, often from early afternoon to early morning.

The mental toll has been substantial, which I'm sure has led to some lasting effects on those I share a roof with.

After talking with my mother about this, it seems this is a multigenerational thing -- people that lived through Civil Rights, Woman's Sufferage, JFK, Vietnam, Korea, The Cold War, etc are just as heavily impacted. No one is functioning well right now.

At the end of the day, all we can do is keep trying the best we can, and hopefully we don't release total a-holes to the world when all this is said and done. Hopefully we don't become total a-holes ourselves.
> I had just moved to a new city before everything, started a new job. I don't know anyone, it's impossible to really meet new people.

Meeting new people seems impossible, but it doesn't have. It helps to connect with others over a common interest or hobby. Boardgames, hacking for fun, volunteering, writing, photography, art, music, radio making, astronomy, movies, sports, gardening, museums, libraries, animals, cooking,... There's plenty out there to bond over.

Instead of trying to meet new people, try to look into something which is a bit outside of your comfort zone, but has piqued your interest. Look into activities like workshops, classes, courses, initiations,... Every city has plenty of small non-profits with really interesting offerings who do outreach to local communities.

It's up to you to figure out what you want. So, I just gave you a few examples. Well, try this: sit yourself down with a piece of paper and take 10 minutes to jot down every activity which pops up in your mind and is doable. Okay, you do that exercise every day for the next 5 days, refining your list. Meanwhile, you start to do some research about the things you've jotted down. Find out if they are interesting. You don't have to work on that 24/24. But keep things in the back of your mind and scribble down what you think. After 5 days, you should already have an inkling of things that might be interesting to do while getting you out of the door.

As for meeting people: that happens as you start going to those social activities. Sure, it's a lot like your first day of school and you don't know anybody. But that's literally how everyone starts out. At the same time, you're an adult now, and the people you'll meet are adults as well. And the vast majority will understand that you're new around their parts.

Yes, the quarantine has shut down a lot of activities, but that doesn't mean you can't shoot an e-mail to whatever initiative you stumble across, finding out if they would welcome you shortly, right?
Maybe because these people like to short stuff?
