I have the exact same experience. I've developed on Windows, and for the past 10 years on Linux. The experience for the latter has changed so much in terms of usability that I struggle to understand why alternatives are at all desirable for developers. Out of necessity I had to do iOS development on OSX, and out of the gate that already leaves a bad impression. I can cross-compile and target anything from anywhere and run in emulators or virtual machines and what not, the hardware can do it, the software allows me to use it, its all good. Except the mac ecosystem. So, purchase of a mac it is, install of xcode and the whole shebang. Very little is enjoyable, and less is particularly intuitive. I love my grandmother, and for non power-users who mostly wants to use a browser, a gnome based ubuntu seems a better option than OSX, and definitely also Windows.

As for how the experience was for me, in terms of developer and power user, everything mac has from unix seemed a bit half way. It certainly surprised me repeatedly, finding some versions of core utilities to be older and not supporting flags here and there. But this was fine. Homebrew felt sluggish. But this too was fine. Then comes iOS development, and oh lord what a shit show. This was not fun, and the release process and signing, and all that.

I've reached the point in my professional life where I want things to work. I don't wish to struggle with technical limitations caused by politics and marketing decisions. Development on OSX feels that way. You can't virtualize the OS, and can't emulate an iPhone. You have to go through way too many hoops to do what should be simple.

So, I honestly, and for no inflammatory motivation, don't see why people like to work OSX. I understand that you wish to do so if you are limited by software and tools that restrict your choice, making it either that or Windows. And I dare say Windows is, in total, even worse.

For usability and ease of use, as an OS, for use with free software and otherwise software that exists for the platform, it's in my honest and in an effort to not be too biased or fanboy-y (again, I wouldn't push my fanboyism on my grandmother), simply easier. For a power user and again not limited by language or tech, there is no competition. None. I'd chose to work for a different company if it meant I didn't have to develop on OSX or Windows. Life is too short.
Easier to set up. Cheaper. Gets tons of updates. Can be used with PC via VRDesktop/Oculus Link.
This is good news for India. 60 percent of my classmates from a mid tier IIT work/study in US. This only increases competition levels for masters in India. GATE and PSU's would be frikin hard this and next year.

It doesn't stutter whatsoever (you've claimed this in multiple posts, and I think you need to look at your playback device because the game is buttery smooth). And for integrated graphics of a binary translated x86-64 game running on ARM @ 1080p, that is pretty amazing.

No one is going to claim that the GPU on the A12Z beats a dedicated GPU, even a low-end one. But as someone whose kid has an iMac with a Iris Pro integrated graphics, this looks a world better than what Intel integrates, not even accounting for the whole binary translation thing.

And clearly the higher end Macs with Apple silicon will still have dedicated GPUs as well. Why wouldn't they?
someone already brought this up, there is rationale for it at bottom of this thread
I would say that there is a wide gulf between wanting to make sure people have healthcare (Sanders's big position) and the violent revolution and subsequent authoritarianism that Communism tends to require.

Hell, even an average user would likely appreciate being able to bring their laptop to the local repair shop, give them $200, and walk out with the same laptop, but with more RAM, storage, and a new battery.

The only current option is to drop $1500 on a the new model. It's not only more expensive, but wasteful.

I guess there are a lot of younger folks around here nowadays, but it was perfectly normal in the 90s and early 00s for regular non-technical home users to get out a screwdriver, open up their desktop PC, and replace the RAM, add a new/larger HDD, add a CD/DVD drive, even swap out or add a graphics or sound card. And there was a perfectly functioning computer shop industry that would do that for you on the cheap if you weren't comfortable.

In the past 15-20 years manufacturers have gotten us into the cycle of buy->discard->replace to the point that people don't even know it was ever different.
As someone else pointed out, and a QuestDB engineer responded, it’s been noted and an issue has been created for it. 5e reasoning for it was actually solid.
They say any vaccine would take at least a year, and I don't think we have the fear and determination to protect the majority from this for so long.
AFAIK, Pegasus seems to be the name for the spyware (surveillance tools). See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSO_Group https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)
As far as I can tell though, it has to be VP8 and can't be VP9. Maybe I'm mistaken about that, but all the webp literature I've read or skimmed talks about VP8 specifically. So what's the advantage of an animated webp using VP8 over a webm using VP9?
> Has AWK changed significantly in the last 30 years

Actually it did, exactly the dialect used by the author of OP, Gawk got some very new and, in the context of awk language dialects, advanced features recently.

https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/Namespace...

The introduction of "namespaces" construct allows it to work with older programs but also construction of "libraries" in separate files.

Anyway, I really like the OP implementation, everybody should take a look at:

https://github.com/rethab/awk-jvm/blob/master/jvm.awk

It's based on the https://github.com/zserge/tojvm/blob/master/vm.go but I consider the awk version really more "elegant" in some my-own-taste sense.
The cameras are too crappy for that right now.
They've consistently pushed back on reforms from both the community and the federal consent decree. They insist they are 'tough on crime' and the city is holding them back, going so far as to demand people vote out the city council.

They've described the concerns about policing as "the flavor of the week", they fought against body cams, they've defended police in well documented cases of retaliatory and unbecoming behavior.
What does https have to do with getting exploited?

If the web server is compromised, then it’ll inject the malicious JavaScript code into the HTML, and transmit that to you. SSL is irrelevant in this regards.

Unless when not using SSL, then the HTML is getting intercepted in flight, and a malicious JavaScript code is injected into the HTML.

Is that more of what we are now seeing these days? The routers are compromised, and the HTML is getting compromised too.

This is a legitimate question.

Granted, I’m fully in support of SSL. Nobody should be seeing what you are browsing. This leaves too much digital breadcrumbs lying around.
Ask HN: Separate Domain for Web Application?
The company I work at wants to point the primary domain e.g. (company.com) to a third-party CMS to manage the content (marketing, lead-gen). And use a different domain (company.app) to host the web application, which contains PII/PHI data.

The main argument is that this approach is necessary from a security perspective. It'll prevent a compromised third-party CMS (the CMS company they want to use seems to have poor security, no SOC audit) from affecting the web application since it's on a different domain.

The web application is also not public, so having two different domains shouldn't affect SEO.

I'm curious if any one out there has any experience with this type of approach and if these reasons are valid over just using one domain with many subdomains.
That sounds like a very quick way to get a tax evasion charge...

for sure and it is probably doing the heavy lifting behind many of the companies+governments you interact with.
On some points I agree, the disease is really terrible, the problem is elected officials are wildly unprepared for the job at hand. I'll never forget Gavin Newsom's dire proclamation that 25M Californians would have covid 19 in a few weeks(we have 174k currently), this was late march [1]. In addition in Santa Clara county I remember this statement saying 16k deaths from covid by end of May(we have 152 currently) - [2]. Don't get me started on Trumps statements! If I put out these insane numbers at my job I would have been fired, and if I wasn't fired I would have resigned in shame. These statements bring extreme anxiety and fear to people and I feel like there will be repercussions come Nov.

I've seen this improve a lot in recent years with Let's Encrypt, so that's been a great trend.

LE is still tedious as heck to set up on your own, though, so I guess people who haven't migrated to modern hosting yet are still being left behind. Most hosting-for-devs platforms these days give you HTTPS by default and don't think would even let you host a website without.
"Period"? It's unknown how long a vaccine will take, or how effective it will even be.

Prolonged lockdowns have costs too, it's just not politically correct to compare them to peoples' lives so people like to ignore them.
I bought my 2018 XPS 13 with a Windows 10 license, but tried installing Dell's official Ubuntu image on it after a few days, and couldn't live with it. Trackpad acceleration was awkward, fingerprint reader unlock didn't work, and font scaling was too small (along with other UI elements). I wouldn't be surprised if the trackpad and font scaling issues were fixable, but I no longer have the interest in fixing those issues. So while it's very usable, Linux is still far from parity with MacOS or Windows 10 on the "it just works" front, and I don't expect it to reach parity in the foreseeable future.
Most of the time it isn't bad UI but a vocal minority that just hates any change.

It's not like these companies release these changes without doing significant user testing and AB testing. If you design based on the opinions of HN/Twitter, every site would look like Craigslist (or HN's favorite abomination of a design, the Berkshire Hathaway site).
video format usually take up too much memory: what you gain in efficiency costs in resources.
Conversely, animated WebP are dirt cheap: one buffer only, written over and over.

Then, there's optim being made in WebP to allow fast jump to keyframe, even when there's transparency. Video codec don't allow that, and you can have an arbitrary long torture sequence of transparent frame that needs to be decoded back when the video comes in the view again.

Last, animation are usually low-fps (~10fps): there, video codec don't perform very well and are basically keyframes. So the difference isn't as great as one would think.

Oh, and hardware need a 'reset' between decoding tasks, to reconfigure memory, and decoding can't be parallelized.
I'm not going to dismiss the author's comments on the game but I do feel it's reading a lot into what is just a game. A game that I've sunk almost 2000 hours into and have only played with enemies/pollution on for <30hrs. They weren't fun mechanics since, as the author points out, there are no options but to fight and pollute. I've even tried to play with mods that let you clean the air but they don't work well even once I've gone full-solar. I'm willing to have my beliefs challenged but I'm not grasping how this game is inherently bad or promoting bad/harmful ideas. I don't find the pollution or alien aspects of the game well thought out but thankfully I can turn them off and just play a factory-builder game.

As for the opening quote. I've seen the YT video of these comments being made and I'm struggling to understand the line being drawn between a person with a disability and AI/ML models trying to move. I'm not saying it's wrong but I just don't understand. If someone can summarize it better I would really like to better grasp what Hayao Miyazaki means by this.
The feature preview process is a joke.

I was only given at most a couple of weeks to provide feedback which like everyone else here was negative.

But to have it launch now means that they never had any intention of listening to real feedback. They just wanted to see if there were any showstopper bugs.
Yeah an extremely pathetic move.
Lots of pointless user-facing "innovations," some of which break things with no warning, and very little improvement of the base OS from what a Unix person would notice, combined to cause stagnation.

When Apple moved to file 'tags' from comments which one could edit which would be attached to the file, they literally nuked thousands of annotations of mine. I was never warned that they would be blown away. What kind of company just does this?
15% of cases among what demographic/clinical groups, though? I don't think it's anywhere near 15% (or even 1%) of cases in healthy people under 60 with no complicating conditions, but I could definitely be wrong. I don't think our testing, especially in the US, is strong enough to draw any real conclusions given how many people are asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic.
What I learned from looking at every AI/ML tool I could find
The question was 'symptomatic'.

Lest you think it's a typo, the number of symptomatic tests is a critical number to know.

It's not about whether the individuals beings tested have been harmed, it's about whether testing shows us the infection rate in the population or not. If 100% of tests were of symptomatic patients, the numbers tell us almost nothing.

As explained above, if you do that in safe Rust, your program does not compile.

So no, you don't have data races or undefined behaviors.

If you mix safe Rust with unsafe Rust, and your unsafe Rust has a bug that causes a data-race, then you only have to search for the bug in the 0.00001% of your code base that uses unsafe Rust. Which is many orders of magnitude better than even "safe" languages like Java.
From experience I would say running the OSS project is definitely harder, but the type of person who is capable of making a successful OSS project is not the type of person who can chain themselves to a chair for 3 months and practice interview questions. Studying for FAANG interviews is arduous and extremely non-rewarding. It is like the extreme opposite of an OSS project, where you put in the same hours and have exactly nothing to show for it.

They still defend indefensible things like Holodomor or Tiananmen Massacre.
>The number of unarmed black men shot by police across the entire US in 2019 was 14. [0] How does such a small number spark this level of fear and protest?

Because the police routinely treat people who aren't police or aren't visibly well to do (which being white goes a long way toward) like crap.

People will tolerate that or they'll tolerate some deaths but they won't tolerate both.
I'm not sure what you're arguing for here.

There's a very short period of time between when a patient starts drowning in their own fluids and when they die. So you need to be oxygenating in a clinical setting because you need people immediately available to intubate in case your oxygenated patient starts drowning in their own fluids, which they do often. That's why it confers a 12% survival rate. If you've progressed to the point where supplemental oxygen doesn't work then you're pretty close to dying. I'll take 12% over 0% any day of the week.

As always you should look past the statistics to what actually needs to happen in those situations. Statistics provide very little assistance in determining whether an individual patient needs to be hospitalized or not. You can't look at someone and go "oh this guy is one of the X% that will eventually need a ventilator." You have to assume that any one patient that needs supplemental oxygen may be one of that X%.

So sending people home with supplemental oxygen should be a last-ditch effort if the hospitals become completely overwhelmed, not a routine activity. And to facilitate that, we should absolutely be trying to keep people from getting sick so our hospitals remain open for the unavoidable cases.
Registered developers can do sideloading, no info yet if that will continue to work. Or if it will be possible for users to register as Oculus developers in the future or if that is shut down as well.

If hardware can still be used there are generally people around who continue to use it in some way. And the hardware of the Oculus was pretty nice actually (even if many here don't seem to like it because of only 3-dof).

In my experience this is partly because Homebrew has steadily moved to a "knows better than you" stance and every time you ask it to do one thing, it goes off and does a bunch of other things first.

MacPorts is well worth a spin if you're on a Mac and have trouble with Homebrew. I switched sometime last year and am very happy. I think I've actually been using it more because I know it's not going to be a pain every time.
Ahh..nice to meet you Google-Bot, now i know how they do it ;)
It would have been possible in the USA, but we've seen a failure in leadership to prevent the spread of the virus.

If we had taken decisive action in January or February, we would have had enough resources for contact tracing, and really limit the spread. Instead we'll see at least 200K deaths from this before it is over.

Looking at the new case counts for the USA vs. the EU makes me sad and angry.
I believe Wipr works on both iOS and macOS. I'm also a happy Wipr user.
The Quest. The 64 GB option is enough for 99.99% of people.
Check the example queries, one of them had aggregation and simple column selection in the same query with an "order by" clause at the end.

I can't tell from the output whether there is an implicit "group by" going on over the non-aggregated columns, but eg. this query produced some results without any errors:

select windDir, avg(windSpeed) from weather
Adding this because the more I think about it, the more Amazon is used possibly far more by myself and my friends. Amazon’s own as network is on pace possibly to be third with a huge gap after the big two. Amazon has other ambitions as well. Shouldn’t we try to curb usage before things get too bad?

I have always thought in my mind for my self I need to lessen Google in my life and then Amazon. As I explain below FB isn’t an issue for me personally though of course for others it is.

—
To the point of FB vs Google:

Facebook has more for sure and I bring up the 3 of their big 4 properties below. But point stands to me.

I block major FB domains and sub domains along with FB and it’s properties on my desktop and jailbroken iPad (hosts file) where I spend the majority of my time.

I think I don’t block certain google things because it gets hard to navigate with certain sub domains of theirs blocked if you’re not on a crusade which I’m not. Also their CDN is pretty widely used for fonts scripts etc.

I do have occasional use of FB Messenger, Whatsapp, and IG which all happen on my iPhone. So they are getting more stuff prob than I think.

i haven’t kept up with numbers as recently but IG has ~1.2B users, FBM has ~1.5B, Whatsapp a bit more than that. FB with 2.2B or so. I think those are monthly active users. With tons of overlaps of course.

I am assuming Facebook won’t give their number of unique people overall using their services as people here and elsewhere would decry that as a huge invasion even though we know they know some estimate :p.
From my understanding it's because Valve really wants to directly interact with Apple as infrequently as possible.
Patrick is loser who made bingo cards and later a bunch of failures to only end up working for Stripe. Why the fuck would anyone listen to that blabber mouth hack who hasn’t achieved anything than tricking dumb people he has shit of value to say like a fucking Mullah.
At this point the pandemic is so widespread that testing and contact tracing would be unlikely to achieve containment. We would have to first impose a very strict lockdown for several weeks, which would be politically difficult.
An A12Z's GPU is around double an Xbox One's in gate count. On a GPU limited title like that it should be doing way better than this.

Also it still appears to be stuttering, and opening other videos doesn't show the same stutter.
Lets start with the actual number of gun related homicides per day 40.

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

You are comparing the number of gun deaths in 2 populations and concluding that the difference in total deaths indicates a commensurate increase in dangerous situations faced by officers. Your inclusion of gun suicides makes it extremely difficult to be charitable with your interpretation.

Greater gun suicides correlates with hopelessness and availability of guns not danger to officers and these deaths of despair are literally 60% of the gun deaths you are talking about! Half of the remaining were murdered by someone they know. Most of the remaining 20 not 100 daily murders seemingly random violent murders aren't really random they are criminals murdering other criminals.

Cops aren't overwhelmingly dealing with gang bangers they are overwhelmingly dealing with members of the general population and lots of low level offenders because that is what's out there. That is who they are murdering. They are murdering a broad swath of the population mostly not entirely focused on black people literally because they can get away with it.

Instead of pretending we can't look at the deaths in proper context we ought to analyze the deaths in their proper context. Although this is hard to do in a comment thread your reasoning is in this case worse than nothing because it gives one the false impression that you have a handle on it.

Please stop apologizing for murderers.
So, all of these places I saw portrait as such in media, mostly conservative to right leaning ones in Europe, or FOX news, turned out to be no no-go areas in reality.

Using footage from demonstrations that got out of hand, civil unrest at one point and overblown as well as wrongly cited numbers are all that is to that.

And yes, in Europe there is no such thing as no-go zone where police don't go and all you have is anarchy.
How’s this possible? Anyway this can be prevented?

Have you found any good counterexamples? We let our three-year-old watch Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood and I love it because it is exactly this: short (~10 minute) stories about situations and conflicts that a young child will encounter in everyday life.

This sort of argument clumps everyone everywhere together as a statistic.

The problem domain is much more granular than that. You would need to collect statistics on a specific community in order to get an informed conclusion about the events in that community.
