Where are these antifa affiliates? Who are they? Can you name them specifically?

I find your entire narrative hiliarous and non-factual. You jump from one BLM guy being marxist to all BLM being marxist to riots being due to BLM Marxists with antifa affiliates.

Please tell me what led you to these conspiracies? Do you recognize police were executed by right wing extremist groups who have been named by prosecutors?

Do you see antifa when you close your eyes?

> If taking the geometric mean of all 172 tests on this AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X workstation, using WSL2 yielded about 87% of the performance of running bare metal Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on the same hardware.

So many questions:

- Why a geometric mean? The Geometric mean of ubuntu is 73.64, what does that mean?

- different tests have different units. Sometimes small results are better in one test, but vice-versa in another test. Are these being lumped together? Or is this just a mean of a subset of tests?

- Why is a larger geometric mean better? Why is a ratio of geometric means a good way to measure relative performance?
There are enough bariers in the earlier steps for those barriers to entry with programming not to matter.

1. Understand the problem
2. Break the problem into subproblems. Goto 1 till subroblems
are small enought to be tackled.
3. Develop the algorithms for each of the subroblems you got
after step 2. No handwaving allowed.
4. Implement the algorithms.

I'd say for majority it ends around the step 2. Programming only matters at step 4.
> Very nature of this kind of software. Over years I have never seen a proper antivirus software work without coming on my way. Of course I have not used all of them but only the most popular ones. Locking files, 100 percent cpu usage, false positives are some known issues. In the last 5-6 years I have never seen it correctly report a threat, but that is just for me. I am sure it is working fine for some.

> it's far from a "free market"

This goalpost was never set. The original assertion was industry insiders blocked Facebook from launching WhatsApp Payments in the U.S.

Stripe and Venmo and Apple are valid counter-arguments to that claim. Barriers exist. But if those companies could surmount them, Facebook, with its massive lobbying arms, could as well. The explanation is thus a bad one for the observation.
Dodgy how?

I've always found that it's difficult to get a student to even venture a guess about the answer to a problem. If they do make a guess then they probably have a mental model about how the situation should work... and then teaching becomes easy: either their model is good or it needs tweaking.

You gotta have the confidence to be wrong.

In context, the phrase “civil discourse” has an alternative meaning that you arrive at by substituting the first dictionary definition of the word “civil”:

> 1. relating to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as distinct from military or ecclesiastical matters.

It’s a brilliant argument that works on two levels: violence is the only alternative to free speech, and raw and ugly honesty can lead to greater understanding.

Really nothing to say about this article... but the "ag" abbreviation is strangely disturbing. Do people pronounce that in speech? If so, how?
The original title is "Here’s what’s happening to Boot Camp amid the Apple silicon transition" but I've instead used a line within the article because I felt that was the more important point.
For clarity the argument goes like this:

The global average military spending is 2.2% of global GDP, the US spends 3.4% of GDP. In a vacuum that looks like a dead loss, but over the last 10,000+ years even minor increases in progress could easily make up for that. Consider the USSR was destroyed by failing to manage that expenditure, in a world without war it could easily still be around. Now extend that back to every poor use of resources eliminated by war like Aztec mass human sacrifice or the southern states use of slavery.

I don’t think it’s acceptable trade off for the direct suffering of war, but it is a defensible argument.
This is somewhat similar to how scientific articles are typically read.
That’s true, and I’ve suffered from the same problem when I later bought a home in Southie built in the 1870s. Just replacing the water heater was thousands of dollars.

In the case of my first apartment though I know for a fact my landlord had more than enough cash to update the building if she wanted to - her husband owns the Red Sox.
I think this is how Android works now, and has for a few years. It is crazy that it wasn't always this way, though. Apps in the past could choose to request access to all your photos just to let you pick; but now I think that will get you removed from the Play Store (maybe?) since the official way in Android is now the way you describe.
While I was there, hapi.js was extensively used by the Global eCommerce department and was responsible for fronting the entire mobile API. You can check Eran's blog for stories of how it handled all of Walmart's mobile API traffic especially during the massive thundering herd of Black Friday traffic. It was used on many other projects including some "big name" projects, however, I don't know if hapi's involvement was made public for those so can't name them directly.

"rewrite" obviously implies a much larger change, in my opinion.

After passing a constitutional amendment, would it not be misleading to declare "The US rewrites the constitution" ?

If a 2nd edition of a novel includes a new preface, it would be misleading to advertise the book as "re-written".

You see it as "sexy sounding", I see it as intentionally misleading about the significance of the result.

Nice work and I liked the clean layout.

I see you are able to open the URLs directly - something the app I use seems unable to do - perhaps it’s time for me to changes apps.

A feature I’d enjoy is the ability to open both the story and the comments at the same time. I almost always do so manually anyway - i like comparing the (often) hyperbolic article with a does of reality/sense in the comments. Or is it the other way around?

I keep trying to find the time to write something myself - perhaps in Swift or Capacitor. An HN reader seems like a good first project to learn a new language or technology.
Presumably the submitter of this link is also the author?

Do you have any suggestions on what areas are good for innovation?

I also find myself at a complete loss for what technologies are actually out there, how they're used and what a typical farm looks like and how it operates. Even the data of "90M acres of corn, 85M acres of soybean, and 30M acres of wheat" is complete news to me.

What are some sources to get at this data, to get a feel for what this system looks like?

I know that the "global village construction set" [1] was marketed as trying trying to solve some of these issues but I'm not sure it really developed into anything actionable.

Keep up the good work, I'd like to see more writing. Do you have any suggestions on other blogs that talk about similar subject matter?

Building GitHub-Style Hovercards with Stimulus and HTML-over-the-Wire
Wait, maybe I am missing something. So there is an actual physical place called the Black Market?
What I consider beta is:
- the Apple Watch 1 and iPhone 1 didn't have real apps (at least until the second year/generation)
- the physical design of iPhone 1/iPad 1/Apple Watch 1 was changed with the second generation
- the Core Duo MacBooks were the only Intel non-64 bit devices
and there probably are quite a few other examples

So as far as I am concerned, the first Apple CPU in a mac will be a no-go beta device, that will be much better at the second generation.

Also, regarding the OS, we are not really yet aware of all the things that are going to break with the architecture change: it's not a switch to ARM but a switch to Apple. There's a huge lot of possible problems for a device I'll need running at 100% for my work.
> decided to stop contracting with him

Not sure how this differs from a firing unless you are suggesting it was unrelated to the memo.

> his personal need to write long, politically charged, essays at work

You don't know the context. He didn't force the memo on people - he was actively encouraged to provide feedback to a forum on this exact, politically-charged, topic; then that memo was leaked, without his permission, (to unfriendly, politically-charged outside recipients) when someone found issue with it.

The insinuation "write long, politically charged, essays at work" that he abused company resources to do his own thing, versus being encouraged to engage with politics (which google does) and then finding himself on the wrong side of opinion is exactly the kind of abusive framing that hit-pieces used.

> women and minorities on staff

Who saw the memo because someone tried to offend them with it - not Damore. I don't disagree that sensitive topics might not be appropriate for wider audiences, but Damore is not responsible for that. No one was fired for leaking the memo, nor are media outlets being sued for propagating a false, offensive representation of the memo.

To be clear "women and minorities should be incapable of joining the software profession based on their genetics" is not something Damore said, it is something the media said, attributing it to him. It is the media therefore that owns these words and the offence they (and their distribution) caused. Not only did they slander Damore, but they also caused the offense Damore was fired for.
I rarely downvote, but I when I do, I always try to leave an explanation. I downvoted this post because you made a claim with great confidence, despite it being clear you don't know how medical research works.

> "More harm than good" cannot be assessed objectively. How could you possibly weigh "one extra death" against "ten unnecessary treatments"?

Well, a very simple way would be to see how many deaths are caused by those ten unnecessary treatments. If those ten unnecessary treatments cause two deaths, I think the outcome is fairly clear.

More specifically, you wouldn't assess this in terms of "deaths" because 100% of people die. Instead, you'd study this in terms of units of time alive, with a probability distribution and a quality factor applied. If a treatment reduces pain and but causes blindness, pain and blindness both correspond to quality factors.

The quality factors, right now are generally treated as subjective and left to the patient as you suggest, but this is largely because we haven't gathered enough evidence for a general theory of quality of life based on health factors. Your claim that this "cannot be assessed objectively" is very much not in evidence--a great many scientists are assessing it objectively, looking at happiness, life satisfaction, satisfaction with care, societal effects, etc.

There is an entire, mature field of study built around objectively assessing the thing you are claiming cannot be objectively assessed. Hundreds of billions of dollars are invested in the idea that this can be objectively assessed. You might have some criticism of medical research, but throwing out a claim like "this cannot be assessed objectively" with no evidence when millions of people and billions of dollars are invested in the opposite, sounds an awful lot like you aren't aware that strong counterarguments to your point exist which need to be addressed if you make such a claim. This is further supported by you talking about "deaths" when in fact that's not really the metric people use for assessing interventions.

Source: worked a at a company that did medical study data warehousing.

In a more general sense, I would caution you that just because you can't assess something objectively doesn't mean it cannot be assessed objectively.
... a result that almost reinforces the findings in the paper reported in the article: octave (equivalence) perception is learned/culturally influenced rather than being hard-wired.
IMO, that example is absolutely not "no code". In fact, I would think it would be very hard to understand by non-coders. If you can train someone to understand that, you could train them to code.

The only saving grace it has is that most of the interface is "no code" so that you can focus your training on smaller pieces... But that's just "low code" at that point, which isn't nearly as marketable.
Power really isn't an excuse these days. There's a huge library of great games on Steam that run beautifully on a $600 laptop. Look at how many great games are on the Switch, which is about as powerful as an iPhone 6S.

It's just ridiculous that a leading software company can't support such a wildly popular class of software, but Apple game support has such a long history of tragic incompetence that any handwringing is a waste of time.

How to Destroy Talent - The Great Icing Conspiracy
The Okteto CLI lets you develop inside a container, no matter if it is running locally or in a remote cluster.
The main advantages of developing inside containers are:

- replicability: development containers eliminate the need to install your dependencies locally, everything is pre-configured in your development image.

- fast inner loop development: native builds inside your development container are faster than the docker build/redeploy cycle.

- less integration issues: your development container reuses the same variables, secrets, sidecars, volumes, etc... than your original deployment.

Radio protocol is extremely specific. As is medical terminology.

If they're required to use a term for a person, but haven't been briefed on what term to use, then I think there are bigger problems there and "political correctness" is not the problem. Basic communication is. They will also not be penalised for using the wrong term when there's no briefing on what the correct term is.

If they can't remember what term to use when they have been briefed on it, then they have bigger problems (there are thousands of medical terms they presumably also struggle to remember).

So, were they briefed on the correct term or not?

I also found that the 16:10 is a better ratio, than 16:9, when working with code.

I wish there would be more 1920x1200 or 2560x1600 displays...

Lacking those options at reasonable prices leaves me with the option of using rotated 2K monitors, though 27" ones are uncomfortably tall and 24-25" ones are a little too high in pixel density.

Huawei's Matebook's 3K (3000x2000) display with its 3:2 (1.5) ratio at almost 14" size is an amazing sweet spot though.
I wish they would have it in 28" size for desktop use :)

In the end I'm working on 27" 2K and 5K iMacs for about a decade now and I see it as a good compromise, despite the aspect ratio, but I quite like my 30" HP ZR30w with its 2560x1200 resolution. Unfortunately its backlight is getting old and uneven :(
When the scam is big enough, there are consequences for the auditors. Enron sank Arthur Andersen, for example. Didn’t hurt the consulting arm (now Accenture) though.
I worked for a company around 2009 where the founder wrote his own bespoke VB like programming environment - IDE, PC emulator, bytecode VM, compiler for ruggedized Windows CE devices used for field services.

The company was founded around 1996. I assume he wrote it because there was no easy way to develop for Win CE back then except for C++/MFC. It did allow the company to hire a lot of cheap developers from well known but not well respected private colleges.

The same code could also be used for the back end supporting services, but he did at least add support for COM interop on the server so we could use any language to actually do the heavy lifting.

They pushed him out around 2011 and I was the only old guy that knew anything about C++/MFC and assembly to maintain it until the company folded.

Friends of mine were taught by Carsten Haitzler (rasterman, original author of enlightenment, lead dev of tizen) at UNSW. Back in the day enlightenment was, in many ways, miles ahead of the competition. Unfortunately it was miles ahead of the hardware as well.

I recently decided for a refurbished MacBook Pro 2015. Fast, great display, great keyboard, lots of ports, and relatively affordable. I'm really happy with it. I'd wait for at least one iteration to invest a lot of money into an ARM machine… just to be sure.
That's an easy one, because spying on France industrial or state secrets by foreign powers happens all the time.

For example: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2019/09/27/business/hacker...

So, to answer your question: they do not try to extradite the foreign operators responsible to the leaks, and they do everything to strengthen their IT security. Also, they possibly build or reinforce their cyber-defense team to cyber-counter or cyber-retaliate.

This kind of response is just how it happens when abiding to the international law. Still, they are far from doing nothing, and they are efficient.
