Precisely - this is the perfect opportunity for Apple to do a "no new shiny things" release, given that they are going through quite fundamental changes in their Mac architecture.

Yeah a part of the point of Intel Core branding was to allow Mac to use Intel without carrying Pentium name.
Keep in mind that even famous middle-class actors with regular jobs aren't working right now. Film production has only just restarted in the last week.

Actors are used to taking whatever gig they can. I suspect as film production picks up you'll see fewer of those really well known celebrities on there.

On the other hand, it takes all of a minute to record one of these. You could literally do it in your trailer on set while you wait for them to set up cameras.
Right, apparently only a quarter of all developers uses them (https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2019#technology-_-...).

I agree with you (though I have to admit I just posted one myself). But then maybe it should be mentioned more explicitly in the guidelines.
>> Further more, it is missing many things that you come to expect in a modern programming language - arrays, good numerical performance, etc.

Those depend on the interpreter. For example, Gnu Prolog has full support for arrays. Swi-Prolog has good support for rational numbers. Constraint libraries like library(clpfd) in Swi-Prolog simplify numerical computations. etc.

About numerical support in particular, the problem is that representing arithmetic in first order logic is not straightforward because it doesn't have a concept of a "number"- so what a "number" is, must be defined before arithmetic can be done (and in fact, to some extent, this was the purpose of FOL in the first place). Additionally, Prolog slightly departs from first order logic semantics in that it doesn't have a clearly defined concept of "function" (by contrast in FOL "arguments" of predicates are variables, constants or functions). Instead, Prolog "cheats" and allows predicates to be passed as arguments to predicates. However, for performing arithmetic operations, Prolog defines a predicate is/2 that takes as arguments two "mathematical expressions", where an expression is either a number ...or a function (so a function; because constants are functions with 0 arguments). For example, to add two numbers you would write:

?- A is 1 + 1.
A = 2.

This is clunky and messy and ends up hurting the eyes and the brain, even though there's no real problem with performance in particular (in most Prolog systems there's a low-level back-end that handles that anyway). The constraint library clpfd that I mention above exists to smooth out this impedance mismatch between the declarative paradigm and the wonky "functions in a language without functions" of mainline Prolog. It's billed as "declarative integer arithmetic" (and does the job well) (once you get used to it).

Anyway it's not that there's no good support for numerical computations. It's just ...weird. Even in the context of, you know, Prolog.
It might be the other way around. The might have gotten around the big issue with running arbitrary x86 code on ARM (the way weaker memory model) by pinning all x86 threads in a process to a single core. Which would be unfortunate.

1. They explicitly said yes, there would be a whole range of CPUs that they're making. This isn't just "throw the phone CPU on a desktop," they'll have laptop class and desktop class CPUs that are different.

2. They're saying integrated. Whether they also throw Radeons on high-end desktops is probably not yet determined. (They have a two year roadmap for this rollout, and I think it's pretty obvious they'll start with the portables/iMacs where the benefits of ARM are more likely to outweigh the pain of change for more people.)
Android supports a version of App Clips (Instant Apps) and PWAs. I'm not sure they're mutually exclusive, especially since iOS already supports PWAs.
Yes, but if you actually look at the death count, it has dropped in the past month and a half, despite re-openings: https://ga-covid19.ondemand.sas.com/ Georgia being one of the earliest states to re-open, continue to see their deaths plummet even as their case count increases. What's the reason for this? I don't know. Better testing, maybe. Maybe a less deadly version of the virus is propagating now. Not sure.
If you told a reddit user from 5 years ago that you would be banned for upvoting content, they'd call you a nut job.
Apple will only add push notifications to PWAs if enough people move away from Apple devices for lack of PWA push notifications. Once the quality of PWAs improves to the point that they're indispensable (and I believe we're getting there slowly), Apple will have to comply.

Till then, they're probably not going to do it.

I didn't say speech wasn't special, I asked you to consider it as a kind of action, which it is. I value the free exchange of ideas because speech is such a significant kind of action.

That speech is so important that I shouldn't be able to pick who I want to be friends or business partners with based on what they say?

I had begun to spec out a strict subset of HTML[0] until I realized I had just recreated AMP. What we need is an AMP-like HTML subset w/out the custom tags and ads (same issue with htmx). Any such HTML "fork" should make it a goal to be easily implement a viewer/browser of said type which means instead of just adding things, things need to be removed too.

I only posted this because I had some immediate insight into the nature of the issue - i.e. one of Github's two DNS providers seems to be having issues. Someone less familiar with DNS could learn a little by running the commands I put in the original post and seeing how the results differ. It might also be interesting to see how the reality of the issue translates into their eventual status page update.

In general though, I absolutely agree that generic 'X is down' messages with no further information are pointless.

Yeah, you're on to something. I'd guess it's intense and precise coaching paired with people who don't do this sort of thing very often. It seemed to get a lot worse soon after they started trying to get a bunch more presenters involved, some years back. My guess is they didn't think the first couple of those were polished enough, so cranked up the prep, which, when applied to people who haven't developed outstanding presenter-talent, gives you a really fake and awkward effect. I think the somewhat rougher early ones were nicer, personally.

To their credit, I guess, most other events I've seen like this since everyone started trying to ape Apple's announcement style have the same problem, and usually worse.
I've got to imagine this is a huge moneymaker for any celebs that have "event appropriate" fame. For example, I saw a friend get a personalized graduation message from Natasha Bedingfield (singer of that ubiquitous graduation song "Unwritten"). I thought it was really cool, and at a couple hundred bucks a pop I can imagine that Ms. Bedingfield can make more in a month's worth of graduation messages than the average person could in years.

Many times in the article she perceive male founders as stoic machines that regardless of health or mental state would go to work and operate as if nothing is wrong, and then goes to copy that. That is a stereotype that is hurting both men and women, and removing that would resolve a lot of the hardship.

> You are implicitly making the claim that anyone who owns or leases a building for their business is rolling in excess money, which is incredibly ignorant, naïve, uncharitable, and untrue

You are twisting my words. I make no implicit claim of that sort. Do you not see the difference between being 1) shot with a gun, or stabbed, or otherwise physically attacked in a violent moment, and 2) coming to work the next day to find your place of business burned?

Those are two very different things.

I do not mean to suggest that the employee whose work is burned is not hurt, but certainly, it is not a violent act against them as the other situation with guns or stabbing is.

> That kind of thinking is pretty hideously warped, and you'd do well to rethink your worldview to avoid such malice.

I really don't know about this comment. I think it is your worldview that is 'warped' but I wouldn't insult you by calling your traits 'hideous'. Please be more polite on HN.

I'm getting the impression that Apple wants to merge the desktop/iOS/iPad platforms long term if you look at all the recent updates together.

Yeah, not "state of the art" technically, but that's where the first generation Ryzens (14nm) were made, which still feels like yesterday to me, haha.

"14nm" is still good enough, especially considering Intel's "10nm" vaporware..
What’s preventing streamers from streaming to multiple platforms at once. Is it against he Eula or something ?
> So honestly it'd be a bit out of character

This is Apple we're talking about. They boast about unverifiable performance claims in pretty much every product they announce...
Inferring from the video announce plus guessing:

Will they have a wide TDP range of designs? Yes. On feasibility, there are two major components to the cost - first is the engineering cost for design. You can bet that these costs are not massive; Apple has roughly $200 billion cash on hand right now. Most of the work will be scaled up as part of their overall design process.

The second cost component is the Non-recurring engineering to get a mask-set made for the chips. A 7nm start right now costs maybe in the range of $20mm? If the Mac Pro is required to stand on its own feet financially, perhaps that will push out timing / push up cost. On the other hand, if one considers the cost of the top end chip to be a marketing cost, it’s literally a rounding error.

GPU - Apple is going to have their own GPUs, and no longer worry about AMD and Nvidia. They’ll have complete control of the hardware and software stack and control their own destiny. I would be very surprised to see dual GPU options.
The Verge article is a little unclear when the "two-year" transition timeline started. Apple's own announcement says:

"Developers can start building apps today and first system ships by year’s end, beginning a two-year transition"

This doesn't seem to make sense. By more accurately predicting where crimes will occur, the police departments can reduce the amount of patrols needed.
Status symbol? Maybe for highschoolers, but if someone showed me this IRL, as an adult, and actually paid real money for such platitudes I would question their maturity level. What an exploitative model.
i was replying to the parent thread that observed no performance data was shared. if performance were say, the same or slightly worse, then it would explain why apple wouldn't release performance data. but they might still want their own chips, if they increased profitability

Well they have spent the last 4 years trying to fix wave after wave of side-channel vulnerabilities. A handful of those affected ARM and AMD as well, but a very large number of them were Intel-only, and were a direct side effect of Intel cutting corners on safety to get advances in their performance numbers.
You're making a distinction between the employee and the owner, which is highly revealing. You don't think the owner works, supplies or has any value in the business they run. That is dehumanizing them. That is hideous. I stand by my words.
I doubt it, the cost of building an assembly line for chip fab is apparently one of the most expensive among all kinds of manufacturing. This link was posted on HN last week that alluded to this: https://stratechery.com/2020/apple-arm-and-intel/
It's funny how that works. This story may be only tangentially related, but here goes: A few years back, I was visiting the local ARM offices in Trondheim, Norway. I happened to mention something about the iPhones using their processors, and my host immediately said, “I am not allowed to comment on that”. But everybody knows it, I said. In response, he said yes, but he still can't talk about it. Possibly, he broke the rule by admitting even that much.
The two examples are perfectly equivalent.
Thanks—we moved most of the comments thither.

Original sources are generally better (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) but corporate press releases are an exception to that rule, since they tend to bury the lede or be otherwise obscure.
Can't find the link, but as I recall in one of the interviews, Hal Abelson explained the reason behind switching to Python: SICP/Scheme was good when systems where small and a single person could understand/create whole systems. Nowadays, systems are huge, lots of parts/components, and programmers mostly write glue code.
I think it's reasonable to argue that we have a bunch of local monopolies today, only that "local" on the internet is interest-based-local, not geographically local.

You mentioned Google Search, I'd add Youtube for video content, Twitch for streaming, FB for social network etc. Sure, you can broadcast video content without Youtube, there's vimeo or you could host it yourself, but it's really not a feasible approach. Much like you don't really have to rely on the local utility company to provide you with electricity and water, you could totally run a generator in your back yard and have trucks bring in fresh and move out waste water ... but it's not a realistic approach.

> To this end, I say "nope, you're not entitled... we have an open internet, drive your own damn traffic".

I'd respond that we don't have an open internet, but more importantly: you don't have to be a platform, nobody is stopping Reddit from being a publisher.

The reason why they don't want to legally be a publisher is simply that their low-cost approach doesn't work if they have more responsibility for what they publish. They very much want to be able to pick and choose what is published, but they don't want to be considered a publisher.

I've spent most of my career as a front end developer. We have three tools in our toolbox: HTML, CSS, and Javascript. We need them all and will push each to the extreme to create better experiences for our users and reimagine what the web can become.

As I see it, the welfare state model has the benefit of moving towards maximizing the potential of each individual. If you have free education and a strong safety net, you can take a lot of risks in terms of career choice without even realizing it, and never be worse off for it.

The 'individual responsibility' model of states like the USA seems to be more based on blunt acceptance of the idea that someone needs to take out the trash and tend the lawns, and that gets too expensive if people have a choice in whether or not they want to do manual labour.
The president is not an elected post but a selected post. They selected a dalit exactly for this reason the person above states. For tokenism.

I am making no such distinction! I honestly have no idea what you are talking about. You stand by your words to insult me as hideous? Please stop.

I do not think like this. At all. I am not sure where you got that idea. Obviously the owner works, supplies and has value in the business they run...? I don't understand why you would think I don't agree with that?

Highly unlikely. Apple will need to figure out how to get it's 30% cut from those PWAs first.
Apple could continue to ship arm/x86 machines in parallel for years if the fat binaries+emulation work well. If say the desktop mac pro maintains an edge somehow, or Intel comes back from their current slump in 5 years this could go on indefinitely.

(that probably totally depends on whether Intel actually designs a desktop chip for the first time in nearly two decades, rather than continuing with their current sell server chips as poorly designed desktops path)
How is that at all different from Slack?
I don't know enough to agree or disagree, but to me having academics even ask questions on the ethics of their work is the most important thing; if one's work affects the real world then you can't duck responsibility for it.
Last time around, the dev kits had Pentium 4 processors but the Intel Macs that launched used Core and Core 2 processors— a totally different microarchitecture with drastically different performance and power characteristics. It's a pretty safe bet that the first ARM Macs will be using SoCs that are at least a generational improvement over the A12Z. The higher-power Macs that will probably be released toward the end of the transition will likely use chips that are more drastically different from what's in an iPad Pro.
If nothing else this made me realize that Digg still existed. Read the article which was pretty good. I think the blanket meetings are wasted time blanket statement is interesting. They serve a couple of different purposes when used correctly. The most important of which is shifting cons to pros on whatever the initiative you are trying to champion is. Status update meetings are the easiest to cancel, especially when there isn't enough changed to warrant the update.
