I will say I really like the lock button and the touch ID integration. I hate the lack of physical escape key (especially for vim); however, they are fixing that on many (most? all?) new models. Mostly I'm pretty meh about the touch bar. Not sure how much cost it's adding, but I'd probably rather they reduce the cost.
Nice, I love stuff like this. I can then take the generated files and pull them apart for understanding knowing that they are "working" examples.
Yeah, FWIW, R. A. Wilson talks about how B3 was known anecdotally back in the 70's in "Sex and Drugs" as good for bad trips.

Some of these lower tier celebrities like interacting with fans, like a lot of celebrities aren't that popular or rich enough to have people manage their social media for them and are the ones actually interacting with online fans... or critics.
3.1 Gen 2 is 10gbps USB + DisplayPort and DisplayPort doesn't mix -- out of the four high speed lanes it either gets two or four lanes. Now full USB 4 is a 40gbps bus with mixed PCI Express, DisplayPort and USB packets. It is not a small change.
ARM isn't new. Not even Aarch64 is new.

(‘ARM’ has become meaningless marketing drivel; there are physically existing pairs of 32-bit ‘ARM’ processors that have exactly zero physically existing machine instructions in common.)

[Dis]claimer: I have no long or short in AAPL. Anyone posting or voting in this thread should similarly disclose.
Then why are they doing:

* ARM macbooks

* iOS Apps on macOS

* iOS look-and-feel on macOS

* iOS features like Control Center, Widgets on macOS

Each one of these might be justifiable in isolation, but viewed as a whole it paints another picture.
I wonder if they have added support for Display Port MST? (daisy chaining two monitors over one USB-C/thunderbolt cable)

Windows via Boot Camp support it, so it’s only a software limit.

It was my single biggest wish for this years macOS update.

I agree with you as a user. From the company's perspective though, I'm guessing there's a decent correlation between "people who will pay $, instead of free" and "people who have enough disposable income to impulse-buy high-cost items from your ads".

As anecdata, if you offered me instagram without ads for $10 / year I wouldn't even blink before accepting it. Yet I've also bought a half dozen things from their ads for > $50 over the last few years, which is likely more valuable to them. Or more specifically, makes their ad platform more valuable to their ad-buying business customers.
Yup, and to complicate matters more those resolvers you're talking to may be talking to more caching resolvers.

For a given application server it might be:

- check local dns caching resolver

- check local network caching resolver

- if internal domain, check local authoritative resolver

- if public domain check isp resolver

- recursively resolve from there

Clearly I never said your machine expires. You can continue using the most recent OS supported by your hardware. Your Mac Mini will not cease to function just because Apple releases an OS it doesn't support.

Spot on! Don't you think it's interesting to see the current Chinese ruling class's propaganda on HN always harping on their dreamed up superiority of top-down social organisation? Completely oblivious to the value of chaos. One hope they will learn.
But institutions have the ability to enforce behavior in that group.

If these people were really "just bad apples", this wouldn't be a problem anymore, as there have been literal decades to solve this.

See how that's different from a group defined by things you cannot control, like skin color?

I can't blame one person of a certain hue for the actions of a person of that same hue, because they don't share anything in common other than the hue.

Whereas police departments are 100% accountable for the actions of their members.

Today you learned, huh?
One directory up they have some other tools people might find useful https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools
That's the problem in Chicago. CPD has destroyed whatever trust the community had in them.
I didn't find much, but I have an idea for calculation:

* Most of their projects have a relatively static cost[0] year-by-year.

* The big variable is SETI@home. From the SETI PoV it's zero-cost, but that's not the case for society (compute, electricity, pollution).

It's not difficult to find TFLOPS estimates via BOINC or wiki. Translating that back to cost is rather difficult, for me at least. Most people did not buy computers for this. Network bandwidth cost is also difficult to estimate. I suspect main component is power for processing. But electricity estimates vary widely depending on hardware used, I dunno how to estimate the average consumption per TLOPS.

I really want to know what will happen to x86 virtualization.

For me, running Windows in a VM was the killer Mac app. There's always one or two Windows applications that don't have good Mac equivalents. I spent a good portion of my career as a Windows developer working on Mac with a Windows VM.
Yeah, "Apple Scrambles to Head Off Antitrust Prosecution" is the shadow-headline here.
I don't understand why anyone would care about this. What difference could it possibly make? Are fewer people going to buy ARM Macbooks because the execs sounded a little wooden?
Oh huh. I use that feature pretty often. I have my fan speeds ramped up to max 24/7 so I never noticed mds_stores going crazy but - yep there it goes.

>Honestly, every time Apple has done anything with the Mac the past couple of years, they've screwed it up.

Compared to what OS?

The latest Windows 10 update buggers up Storage Spaces and printing, hard on the heels of another Windows 10 Update that deleted the user's files.
Roland G Fryer's recent work shows that for every investigation over a white cop shooting a black person allegedly wrongly, 179 extra people die due to the severe reduction in policing (up to 90%!) over the next two years. Roland G Fryer is a black economics professor at Harvard. His papers are working papers for the National Bureau of Economic Research, and as such not peer reviewed. When he discovered in 2016 that (if you do the math properly) police are actually more likely to shoot a white person in a life-or-death situation, he said it was "the most suprising result of my career."
Finally! Now which email client to use that promotes security and great features?
Your timeline is completely confused. ASPX came out in 2002, after HTML4. HTML2 was the era when CGI scripts were dominant.

Next, HTML2+SGML were also well-designed, and people weren't just doing regexp. The mess didn't come in until HTML3 and even more so, HTML4.

Today, it's easy to parse /specific/ pages. If I want to automate one web page, and it's well-formed, HTML5+AJAX makes that easy.

However, in contrast to HTML2, it's very hard to parse pages /generically/. That's why I gave the example of Altavista and a11y tools, which need to work with any web site.

Try to make something like that today: a generic search spider, a web browser, or an a11y tool. See how far you get talking to JSON endpoints. They're often easy enough to reverse-engineer for a specific web site, but you need a human-in-the-loop for each web site. With HTML2, one would build tools which could work with /any/ web site.

And boy were there a lot of tools. Look at all the web browsers of the nineties, and the innovation there.
PayPal launching Bitcoin is like Blockbuster selling subscriptions to Netflix
There’s a fair bit of AVX/SSE code out there, but these days the vast bulk of AVX/SSE code is generated by the autovectorizer and that’s mostly going to work on NEON without a hitch. Clang enables the autovectorizer at -O2 by default.

I’d be interested in estimates of how much hand-written AVX/SSE your computer actually runs. The apps I’ve seen usually have a fairly small core of AVX/SSE code.
Maybe the solution is SSR + fuzzying then :)
Rare materials are what made some trackers great. Remember what.cd? That was the most comprehensive music catalogue ever. And it worked.

Also, there's the issue of people finding rare source materials, but keeping them to themselves, because sharing is a hassle. Monetization would help incentivize these people.
Thanks for this.

I believe you are correct, although I did think that kernel_task was there to help cool the components down, and not simply as a devide to report throttled CPU usage consistently with unthrottled.

That said, I didn't mean to say that thermal throttling only happened in userland but rather that it did happen there, even though it might also happen elsewhere.

Within the context of this thread, this is relevant since in this case the CPU was not being thermally throttled as it was running cool, but something was still throttling the amount of power going to it.

I was merely suggesting that Nextgrid's affirmation that it must have been the firmware throttling the CPU is not necessarily true. Given that there is a software component to thermal management (or at least I thought so), it's only logical to assume that there may be a software component of whatever other throttling was occurring without it necessarily being suicidal as suggested.
Come on you guys, when the discussion gets to this point, it's past time to stop. See the rest of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23606594 also.

I think most of the gripes described are really issues that come from moving from a MacOS desktop to try a Linux desktop; if you were moving from a x86 Linux desktop to the Pi the experience would have been much less painful.

> Single-thread performance it tied to clock frequency

Within an architecture, yes, but between architectures performance of different usage patterns may vary wildly.

> which cannot go above 5Ghz

this is objectively false. Intel is shipping (limited amounts of) chips that boost over 5GHz, and IBM is shipping its z15 z/architecture CPU which clocks at 5.2 GHz, and shipped its ancestor, the zEC12 CPU clocking in at 5.5Ghz (!), in 2012.
Come on you guys, when the discussion gets to this point, it's past time to stop. We want curious conversation here. Among other things, that requires a certain degree of relatability with the other person. If you don't have that, please just let go. Hammering on other people's words doesn't help.

There's a model of debate in which harshly countering other people's mistaken arguments is held to be valuable, because errors eventually get hammered out that way and the truth emerges as a sort of well-tempered steel. That model does not work in internet forums—for many reasons—the most important of which is the container can't withstand it. That is, the hammering destroys the forum itself long before the process completes (assuming it ever would). An entirely different kind of arguing is necessary to keep this place from destroying itself.

To be picky, that's the hardware, not the OS. And the same argument still applies: If we're flying blind, the benchmarks may underrepresent performance (although I think you're overestimating the opacity of the i-architecture).
My wife asked me what I thought of the new macOS look and my reply was "well I don't hate it" which I think is the best kind of response I can give based on a few screenshots and a short pre-made demo.

There is a lot I liked the look of and a few things I didn't like so much but might look better on a real system. Just have to wait and see what it is like to actually use.

From what we saw I don't hate it though. I think it looks quite clean, good spacing (possible touch Macs in the pipeline?), consistent, new icons look good, etc.

I think this really was a historic day as Tim said. After almost twenty years OS X is over. I do kind of wish they had jumped to macOS 14 to align version numbers with iOS and its children.
AngularJS 1.8 – does anyone know what's up?
I'm seeing activity in the github for AngularJS 1.8.
https://github.com/angular/angular.js

Does anyone know anything about it? Maybe back porting some features from Angular 9.1... I'm curious about Google's stance on the LTM support for 1.8. Previous version 1.7 reaches end of support in 2021, and would be nice to know if the purpose of 1.8 is to extend that.

I posted this in Reddit and it got deleted by the moderator; sorry if I'm doing something I'm not supposed to - was just curious because it will impact my work on whether we migrate or not...
You know immigrants pay rent and buy houses just like everyone else right? The government doesn't force people to host them in their bedrooms.
Maybe I'm going out on a limb here, but it doesn't seem to me that you'd need fancy predictive mathematics to get reasonable solutions for community visibility.

Yes, I consider speech to be that important. I don't think you should pick friends or business partners that way, although I don't think you should be forbidden to either.
As I see it, one noteworthy feature of these libraries is how readily they can be implemented in Prolog itself.

For instance, library(format), library(http/http_open) and library(xpath) that are used in the example I posted are all written in Prolog, using at most a few very basic and general building blocks that are implemented in Rust:

https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog/blob/master/src/lib/f...

https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog/blob/master/src/lib/h...

https://github.com/mthom/scryer-prolog/blob/master/src/lib/x...

To run the example across multiple cores, we need more support from the underlying Prolog engine, for instance to run multiple threads. In my view, this is a key aspect of designing a Prolog system: deciding what must be provided by the engine, and what is built on top of it. Scryer Prolog is still in its early stages of development. I expect it to provide support for multiple threads and interfaces to external databases in a few years at the earliest. This also depends on how many contributors the project will be able to attract.
Yes ;-) Have we met before? Can't remember, sorry!
> I won't put in extra work to make my sites work in IE

From my experience, running websites in Germany,

- you can still expect ~20% of desktop users to surf with IE or legacy Edge, and

- the above percentage is higher the older your users are (and lower the younger they are).

Also note that end of support for IE is still 5 years out.

This may be insignificant to you. For others, IE support is essential.
I'm no expert on ARM vs x86 performance, and AWS's own language is careful to specify it's only significantly more cost-effective for certain workloads.

It'll be interesting to see how fast improvements are made in both Apple's and AWS's processors. That's another factor I see contributing to this: if Apple's pace of processor improvements continues as it has for iPhone and iPad, it'll be tougher year after year for competitors to stick with the status quo.
What stops Intel from Licensing the ARM Core and build a industry leading ARM Chip?

That others can compete directly on price. Intel can probably do it technically, but will not have the margins they had with x86.
Happy to see them getting rid of the useless 'notification center' drawer on the right side that I've never used and for some reason 'Do Not Disturb' is hidden within it, assuming you know the right key+click combo.

Notifications are a huge part of any OS, they need to be treated as a first-class experience, not tucked away into a hidden section you never see unless you click on it.
I am old. Back in 1995 web sites loaded faster with 14.4k modems than some of them load today with 200mgps connection.
Yes - they called out "plugins" being transpiled in the keynote.
The only difference between a 2012 and 2014 Mac Mini is that the 2014 is less upgradeable and has a worse processor. There is no technical reason to drop support, only Apple Logic(TM).
While Mr. Triska evangelizes for Scryer (which I really hope will succeed in its endeavors), the more mature web framework still is in SWI prolog.

As for the database, this is where prolog shines: prolog is the database. You store data in the internal facts database.

Concurrency is another prolog strength. For example: https://www.swi-prolog.org/pack/list?p=spawn

See also this very nice talk: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https:/...

As for retries, I have only a blurry idea of what that's about, but from my limited understanding I suspect it's perfectly doable.
If you think the bins are determined by yield rather than by fitting a supply/demand curve, I have a bridge to sell you.

Of course, yield is still a physical constraint, but apple sells a wide range of products and shouldn't have any trouble finding homes for defect-ridden chips.
I think im confused, what exactly is wrong with this take on GMOs: https://geneticliteracyproject.org/glp-facts/nassim-taleb-fi...

From everything I have read about Monsanto (none of it from Taleb), they are a pretty shitty, unethical company. They have ruined the lives of farmer in many places inside and out outside the US. I mean, round up is illegal in the EU.

His issue with GMOs, as I understand it, is mother nature "developed" and evolved these crops over a long period of time, and we should not trust a few IYI scientists at Monsanto, etc to play with that evolution via genetic manipulation.
That missed the point of my comment. Wasn't arguing 'for' table designs.
JUST watching, yes. However, I really am inspired when watching my VERY competent co-worker. I pick up on little habits, and have a lot of 'Oh, cool!' moments. It's actually pretty cool because it's getting to the point where sometimes he will actually say 'Oh, cool!' about something he sees me do :-)
I suspect that killing 32bit was a necessary step, as they aren’t going to port deprecated features to new platforms.

They did some of this before intel, I think with some of the transitional
MacOS->OS X APIs.
What we really need is a new amendment to the Constitution about digital privacy rights, end to surveillance without a warrant, digital documetns are the same as "secures in your papers" from a constitutional perspective, etc. Half measures like Yang's simply won't work.
If someone made the claim that X people are the genetically less intelligent than Y people, I could point to a dozen times and places in history where that would be considered “plainly obvious,” amongst them America itself a mere century ago. The only reason it’s not today is because we have data to the contrary.

I don't consider design language across platforms a positive nessisarly. I want my laptop to be a laptop and tablet to be a tablet. They don't need to share UI. That's why windows 8 was such a disaster.
> Logic isn't worth much without plugins

A lot of people do say that, including a lot of professionals, but in my opinion Logic with its stock plugins is already absolutely great. Some people buy a lot of plugins because they don't know how to use the builtin plugins, and some because they enjoy playing with new stuff more than making music (and yes, some who know what they're doing too).
When the Intel Transition Kit was returned, they gave the devs a first gen Intel iMac for free.
> I've spent most of my career as a front end developer. We have three tools in our toolbox: HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

While it may be common, this seems a somewhat problematic framing of things. You're first responsibility ought to be to an analysis of the problem space, determining the appropriate tool to use based on the needs of the project. If you've already chosen the solution before you've even considered the problem, then of course you would have trouble conceiving of the options outside that narrow set.
Apple doesn't surface the information they collect to third parties. If you are talking about in app advertising tracking, I reset my tracking advertiser ID pretty often too.
The freeze is pretty wide ranging and will apply to:

- H1-B - Specialty occupations

- H4 - Immediate family members of the H-1B visa holders

- L - Intracompany transferees from oversees

- J - Work-and study-based exchange

- H2-B - Temporary non-agricultural workers
What about developers developing those models?

I think some worries are warranted.
> If you need someone online to justify for you learning new things in your field you have probably already lost.

You can't learn everything though. You absolutely should contemplate whether something is worth learning before embarking on that process -- otherwise you fill your head with useless new things.

Nobody is saying that I need to learn COBOL to stay relevant in the job market today, even if that would be a new language for me.
If you can include some example of previous email sent on your website... That would help you and your audience. Win Win
Appearance fees for celebs are nothing new. It just used to require talking to their agency. Top celebs probably will still require it. This is creating a market place for mid and bottom tier notables to tap into that.
clearly this analysis was accurate! prescient and well done. was ARM running most non-iphone smartphones in 2006? the iphone launched in 2007, so this analysis must have been based on other smartphones (unless you had inside intel on the iphone).

1) which 2006 analyses proved wrong? it would be interesting to see which assumptions made sense in 2006 but were ultimately proven wrong.

2) which companies are you evaluating in 2020, and why?

thanks for sharing.
I linked to the docs where it says they plugins and the process need to be the same architecture; you won't be able to mix and match in a process.

Also transpile is a source to source compilation and isn't the right term here.
