Your first two paragraphs track, but I think the second two are quite a leap.

Sure it’s possible, but I think it’s exceptionally unlikely that Apple will try to lock down the Mac the way the iPhone is.

The reason is they think of them as fundamentally different products with fundamentally different purposes, and for the most part the trend line has been moving to more opening of the iOS ecosystem rather than more lockdown of the Mac.

(For instance in the last few iOS releases they’ve added file system support, removing the default apps, and in this new release they’re allowing users to set alternative default apps, etc.)

Apple views the iPhone as a pure consumer device where the most important thing is that everything “just works.” It’s locked down in the same way a video game console is locked down, and for the same reasons: they gain a lot of “just works” benefits from keeping things very standardized. And most consumers LIKE that. Most consumers hate that their PC (or even Mac) often fails them in “mysterious” ways that require tech support or just living with a broken experience.

Apple talks about iOS as a “car” and Mac as a “truck.” They see Mac as their development platform, and literally called that out in their keynote.

There is certainly a desire on Apple’s part to make the Mac also an excellent consumer product, hence things like the existence of the App Store and app signing, but on the Mac there have always been “escape hatches” for those who know what they’re doing.

Now, the part that Apple does want to lock down and is able to lock down even more with this move is the Hardware. They’ve never made Hackintosh easy and have never done anything to indicate support for tinkering with their hardware, to the point that when the pro community began to bail they brought back a highly “configurable” Mac Pro (configurable with official parts but not really tinkerable).

But anyway, I don’t think Mac OS is going to get locked down substantially more than it already is. It’s a nice OS with some trade offs, if those trade offs have worked for you in the past they’re likely to keep being fine, and if not then you probably wouldn’t be a Mac user anyway.
A Haskell project with docs, this is a pleasant surprise.

I’ve been playing around with Phoenix recently and I’ve been missing a decent type system (Dialyzer is pretty bad). I know very little Haskell but this makes me want to dip my toes in.
I use a mac for work and have definitely spent some significant time working with it as an actual laptop.

I really do appreciate the smooth scroll physics. But I really can't figure out why every raves about the gestures. I only ever trigger them by accident. I think I eventually turned them off, but only after screwing up a few times and thinking that I might some day actually want to use them.
All that is true for WebP too, isn't it? If you cannot recompile a piece of software, how are you going to add WebP support to it?

And you aren't breaking it. In a theoretical world where transparency got added to JPEG, software that doesn't support it will show a fully opaque JPEG (adding transparency in a backwards compatible way isn't rocket science). Compare that to using WebP instead, where software that can't handle it won't even show the image.
India is actually being quite slow in their response. The general feeling seems to be that India doesn't want escalation, but also do not want to be seen as being bullied by China.

The situation right now is being described as 'tense but calm'.

China changed all of the nation's maps to now include an added claim on a new piece of land in Ladakh. China also works very closely with their new proxy Govt (Oli's Nepal). So, at the same time Nepal is also changing their maps and laying claim on new land that they did not previously stake claim to.

So now technically India is occupying Chinese property, and they China been clear in wanting to use force to claim it.
> the stereotype of urban black communities having a lot of violence

Urban black communities had (and have) a lot of violence. That's a fact, not a stereotype.

The stereotype is that this is due to the inherently violent, unintelligent, morally inferior nature of Blacks.
I don't know if it's unprecedented, they were at war less than 60 years ago:

I started out with OpenTasks after setting up Nextcloud, but soon hated it. Didn't feel intuitive among other issues I found. Still, I was forced to use it for a while, until I accidentally stumbled upon Tasks.org on F-Droid, and it's a lot better. It feels smoother, more intuitive, and overall has more features. Needlessly to say I switched over and haven't looked back.

Excluding outsourcing companies, such as Tata, there is no proof that H1-B holders are paid less than the prevailing wage. The Trump administration has not targeted such companies, thus proving that this is a political move made to appeal their voter base.

Also, they are not banning H2-A seasonal worker visas, i.e. temporary farm workers, furthering in the fact that this administration does not care about unemployment, given that most jobs lost because COVID-19 are blue collar and lower wage service jobs.

In short, this is a move that appeals to the "America first" supporters, but has little productive value.
I think this is a worthy trade-off. The difference in performance is not that big.

Sadly it's not western and the opposition is not democratic.

I am talking about India and China.
It’s honestly pretty bad on their slower and/or older models - they’re pretty clearly developing for what their devs have, which is their higher-spec machines. If you go into an Apple Store some time and play with their higher-spec machines it’s pretty good.
I have met many ethnically Indian people that are American born. Perhaps many of the people you saw were American citizens as well.

I have noticed that people of Indian heritage are encouraged to get a master's degree. Most of the Indians I've met have one.
It's not typically laminated, usually the cop is supposed to take it and call the person who handed it out (or tear it up).

This is very real, though.
I don't think this is a theoretical possibility.

There is a huge income inequality, the society is splitting 4-ways - top/bottom(social status and income) and left/right (political).

As we get more polarized, there is a possibility of people starving and oppressed which will end up going on the left or right or top or bottom and creating havoc.

2020 is an unprecedented year so far. I don't agree that this is a theoretical possibility.
That's because BLM isn't a single organization. There doesn't appear to be leadership because there is no power structure or organization from which one could lead. It's literally grassroots.

As for diplomacy and strategy, we're talking about a subset of society that has been systematically failed by society for centuries. That they don't have diplomacy that meets the expectations of the powers-that-be should not be a surprise.

If a few bad apples discreet an entire social movement, shouldn't a few bad apples also discredit the entire law enforcement apparatus (and even the entire criminal justice system) in the US? Can't have it both ways, at least not while maintaining a logically consistent argument.
One of my concerns with censorship is that I want to know if people in power are saying these terrible things. When it's simply deleted or hidden, it's like it never happened. I'd much rather it be out there for the world to see.

It depends on the customer and project which parts I focus on making "pretty". If it's a data-intensive thing, I might spend time optimising the protocol, compression and making the data pipeline robust.
For a web app I'll spend more time making it more usable by streamlining the most relevant flows (which I know of since the client has been testing the (M)VP already).
I think the point of H1B being tied to an employer is that a H1B entry needs to be temporary and not long term immigration. If you don't like your employer, or your employer is shafting you, then return back to your country and look for another job. If it happens to be another job in US with H1B visa, good for you. Start another temporary stint.
Yep I’m not defending the NYT Opinions page or editorial board, in my opinion it’s an embarrassment for an otherwise solid paper of record (not defending NYT in general, either - they have made some serious mistakes).

However, the poster is trying to put the Cotton op-Ed in the same league as fairly mild policy debates in the WSJ. I find that dangerously close to legimitizing it.

The right to protest is constitutionally protected, but whatever.
Actually it is only one order of magnitude.

But the more important factor is that in most homicides the victim and the perpetrator know one another. On that basis minorities, and particularly middle-class and up members of minority groups, have good reason to be more concerned about abuse and/or murder at the hands of authorities as a more important consideration than truly random violence.
Could you elaborate a bit on the technical vs. political aspect at play here?

I was kind of just assuming that the trackpad issue might have been, at least partly, because the hardware macs use for trackpads was special. Are you saying that's not the case?

Also, what about cut and paste??
Agreed. It strikes me as odd that Apple hides this ability deep in the Accessibility settings.
Unfortunately, on average they are seen as cheap replaceable work with no resort to taking abuse. However, amongst them there are quite a few very talented developers. If the system worked properly they would be able to select them better. I work with quite a few H1Bs and the experience has been quite pleasing. However, I can see the abuse they take, the unpaid overtime they put in, because they can’t say no. That may spoil our market and we would soon need to fall in line with them.
The potential use of force is absolutely necessary for the enforcement of any law, otherwise it's just a polite suggestion that can and often will ultimately be ignored by antisocial individuals.

Now, personally, I would love to live in a society populated solely by considerate, thoughtful, and polite people who always follow polite suggestions and don't need to be forcefully coerced. However we don't live in that society and the claim that we don't because of law enforcement using force is very much an example of wet streets causing rain.
I think people do consider the money value of time?

If you're an employee, it's irrelevant.

If you're self employed, the mental overhead and switching costs are high.

And if you are the person for which those things are true, do you believe the marketing?

Wouldn't 5 minutes memorizing keyboard shortcuts be a better use of time, at $0/monthly cost?

I would argue that the area in which people fail to consider the value of time is actually the time cost of implementing new processes, software or otherwise.

There are hundreds of thousands of free courses and tutorials that could each save someone a little here and a little there, why doesn't everyone spend all day learning?

It's an interesting question, really.

I lean towards pick the 2-3 core activities and optimize for time and output with those tools. For everything else, optimize for low mental overhead.
Or even

tcc -w -run - <<< 'main() { printf("Hello\n"); return 0; }'

However, runc seems more convenient to pass in just the statements.

> They also fake looking for Americans- in practice, many of the jobs are earmarked for a specific person, and you are wasting your time applying for it.

Disagree with this, agree with the rest.

I've hired (and fired) folks for teams and this is not true at all. The wages in SV are very competitive. At one point we were desperate to get ANYONE who could pass the interview, including dropping the bar for the interview. H1B employees are technically more expensive for us, because the overhead for H1B fees/lawyers etc.

edit: I forgot to mention that H1Bs routinely negotiate their pay to be higher, since they get multiple offers as well.
You have an ultra-simplified view of what ethics can be and how it can be employed.

This is evidenced in how you think "ethics" can be defined by a wikipedia page.

The concept of ethics is very much different from its numerous instantiations.
Don't underestimate how much local impact the protests are having.

In my town, the police chief noped out. A rather startled black lieutenant has found himself in the role now. AFAIK he's got a genuine desire to improve things, but I'm not holding my breath.

Meanwhile, 3 proposals to defund some programs like in school officers have been repeatedly proposed by our only black city councillor for the last couple years, always blocked by the majority of the council. The protests changed that in ONE WEEK.

We may not be getting the sweeping reform we want at the national level, but this absolutely has had a huge impact. And looking at the pooling, there's been a fundamental change in how many people agree there's a real problem.
I'm a very strange person in many ways. I personally prefer to be able to make my own choices about how I waste away my free time - Netflix, books, biking, walks, prayer, meditation, yoga, etc. Trading that in for spending more time to get my groceries (or toiletries, or dry goods, or similar) does not sound like an attractive choice to me.

I understand that this is an unusual personality trait. Still, I'm reluctant to give it up.
> getting paid to lie (which is, fundamentally, what advertising is).

Not fundamentally. A lot of advertising may be well be outright lying, or close enough as makes no difference.

But... I used to go by a shop named "Cards Galore", it had its name in reasonably sized letters hanging over the sidewalk, and then when I wanted to buy a card I knew where I could get one. Nothing lying about that. I think there's a lot of advertising which is like that.

Something weaker might be true, like "large-scale advertising will inevitably lead to large-scale lying". But "advertising is fundamentally lying" is not true.

Why is Firefox slower on a Mac? I know Safari is (supposedly) faster than a lot of the other options, but I haven’t seen anything about Apple slowing down other browsers on Macs[0].

[0] I know they force all browsers to use the same webkit engine as Safari on mobile devices, and used to limit competitors to an older slower version for “security reasons” but AFAIK they don’t slow down competitors on mobile anymore and never have on Macs
Do the team members being let go get to retain their stock options?
Academia and “intellectual” circles in the West are not universally enlightened about the equality of humans (comments here, and on BLM threads on many forums). It doesn’t even appear to be an opinion of the conclusive majority. I was quite shocked and disappointed when I learned this too. People are just that, I suppose.
While I have talked about the financial of an All in ARM Mac platform, that was from an angle of each individual component. But you could also look at it from a company R&D perspective.

Example. Apple ship ~10M MacBook Air a year. Current spending on MacBook Intel chip is roughly $200 per unit. As long as Apple could make it below $200, they make more profits or lower the price.

That is a per unit, per model angle. i.e Apple could easily have fitted an A12Z inside Macbook Air, and save them at least $150.

Or you could look at it from a company total perspective.

Apple currently spend $2B annual R&D ( a made up number )on its Chip design. How much more additional would we need if we need to design for Mac CPU as well. $500M / $1B? Great, and do it. ( If you follow Apple closely, Apple's Net Profits and R&D has been at a fixed percentage for a fairly Long time )

>And finally, I am also curious about the accounting and financial disclosures required in such decisions.

There is nothing that needs to disclose until these decision make material effect on its stock performance.

It is worth pointing out Apple receives $10B annually from Google for having it as default search engine on Safari alone. While it is expensive to design its own chip, comparatively speaking it is still peanuts for Apple.

At the rate things are going, Apple could have spend more money on Apple TV+ Originals than R&D spend on Mac CPU alone.

Arson and looting are, and that's what the post you're replying to meant.
Fair benchmarking is really hard. It is much better to compare languages on features, safety, programmer efficiency etc. But you can't boil that down to a single number.

The most fair benchmarks I've seen are to implement strictly numerical algorithms, but that's not very userful because you're basically testing a small piece of compiler/VM optimization at that point. It also leads to unidiomatic code because it's faster, e.g. "C in Java".

The most useful benchmarks I've seen are exercises where programmers of different languages try their best to create as fast a program in their language as possible. It allows you to see idiomatic v.s. fast code in that language. Downside is you're testing for a large part which contributors you've managed to catch.

As others have noted, NYTimes had dozens of articles about Banksy, whose identity has been known by many and could easily be discovered by the NYTimes (if they don't already know it - I suspect they do).

The "cancel my subscription" wave is well warranted, because that's the only vote people have with the NYTimes.
>Actively court American companies to set up shop in EU

Hate to say it, but you're wrong. American tech companies are American companies, run by Americans with American consumers in mind. What you need to do is figure out why Europeans are using American sites rather than European alternatives (where those exist).
This will destroy any credibility the protesters have. It will stop being about police violence the instant this happens. I think protesters should continue to protest without violence and do everything they can to counteract the methods used by the police to protect themselves and other protesters.

That said, I am angry at what I see and it is difficult to not feel contempt for the police using teargas, pepper spray, flash bangs, and rubber bullets. That contempt has prompted me to demand reform.

> It is illegal to carry a ton of less lethal alternatives like blackjacks, clubs, or batons.

I'm not going to dig up sources for this. However, when I looked into the reasons for laws prohibiting these items about a decade ago I discovered that these laws came to be in the late 19th and early 20th century. Washington explicitly prohibits nun-chucks and butterfly knives. It appears this was intended to target Chinese Americans who were more likely to poses these. Those individuals may have been disenfranchised from owning firearms. This was a way to further disenfranchise them from owning any weapons. Readers of this comment should do their own research to confirm or disprove.
