Sorry, but I really cannot be sorry for Airbnb. I'd actually be glad if Airbnb goes down.

It has made life so much harder for people needing to find a home (either property or long-term rental), made prices go up (sometimes insanely), wasted so many housing in cities. I'm not even sure I find their business really "legal" as it's not so much different from hotel trade (not sure of the wording here) and could be considered as unfair competition.

Of course if it means loss of job for people working there that's something I am sorry for. But I have great hopes they will find another great job.
There are quite a few models listed on AMD's website [1]. Though, when I click on them I'm redirected to what looks like an error page. But you can probably just check the model names on the manufacturers' websites. I myself heard good things about the Lenovo Flex 5 [2].

Yes, it's the basic idea of all the blockchain based implementations. The challenge here is you have to seal the data packet first, make a layer 2 commitment that has some kind of cryptographic binding to the data. Then you have to have a mechanism to atomically open the data while paying the contract. This can be done with some homomorphic properties of some cryptographic primitives but the computational cost is currently very high.
As Apple's own GPUs do not run full OpenGL, does this in turn mean they didn't only create a x86 to ARM translation layer but also a full OpenGL implementation running on top of Metal? Similar to other projects implementing OpenGL on top of Vulkan? Or did they actually invest the time to implement OpenGL directly in their graphics drivers?

That seems a bit weird considering OpenGL has been deprecated in macOS already. I would have expected a full removal once the first ARM Macs ship.
My friend's cousin got involved in some shady activities and some regional newspaper ran a full page article on this. That's where a 2 bedroom semi detached in a not so glamorous part of a small town became: a large villa in a leafy part of the town...
In my experience with the many educational services and communities that do summarize the important content, if you do simply read/listen to the hyper condensed version of 4+ hours a week of lecture you will most likely need to spend that same amount of time saved reviewing to absorb the material if it is anything past the most basics. What the most basics are will vary between people but at a certain point in your learning the time spent thinking about what you're learning simply becomes an important part of the learning process.

Personally I find the "chit chat and hollow conversation" far more pleasurable than spending those hours alone reviewing notes, obviously with the caveat that most of the discussion is related to the material at hand in some way
> 'Scott has been called alt-right and anti feminist online'

Who hasn't? I mean, I see your point and it would be correct in many cases but if people can use this so easily to score points against the NYT, they aren't going to be deterred by that. The online culture that likes to label anything and everything as "racist and toxic" would only make their point stronger.

There is a clear division to be made between firing someone for what they do on their own time vs. actions they take in the course of their employment for you.

When being a responsible journalist is your job, it's not unreasonable to expect to get fired for not being a responsible journalist.

Sorry, I'm not a web programmer. I am a compiler developer, and I have used Prolog with great success in compiler code: Unification is great for matching patterns in tree-shaped structures like abstract syntax trees representing programs. It should be the same for the abstract syntax trees representing web pages.

I understand if this is too hypothetical for you. The other point still stands, that Prolog's native data model allows you to represent tree-shaped (and DAG-shaped) documents just as naturally as Ruby, Lua, etc.
> As long as Apple doesn't start selling A* chips to Samsung or other Android OEMs Qualcomm isn't going to worry

Even if Apple did sell their chips to other parties, Qualcomm will be still collecting its sweet patent royalty from both parties, so it couldn't care less.
He grew up in a multilingual environment, 'his original language' is not a very specific thing. He was educated in German, his family was of a social standing in which German was essential. They also spoke a variant of Yiddish - itself a (give or take) German dialect.
> and the key travel was too small so it was like typing on a touch screen

No, no it's not really.

It's all about preference and tolerance. I bought my Mum an 'old' Apple USB keyboard (i.e. similar to the pre-2017 laptop keys) when her PC's existing KB broke, as I liked mine very much. Being a life-long touch-typer, she just couldn't get on with it, because the travel was too little for her. She's now very happy with a KB with mechanical (Cherry) key switches.

In contrast, I prefer the older Apple KBs, but can get on perfectly well on my 2017 MacBook Pro's KB; and it's not like a touch-screen at all.
> the implementation has started from the factory, not from the world

This sounds plausible, but I'm not sure if it's entirely true: the factory building is explicitly set in a foreign world and not in our on as any of the many many other factory sims out there.

I think it is more like the authors had the "fight against xenos with factory" idea as a start and then got severely detoured into the factory building after they had the basics of the world done.
Some folks wrote a paper based on the proposed constellation: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3286062.3286075

> Already there are new private microwave relay links between
New York and Chicago[11], London and Frankfurt[1], and
London and Paris. These links have relatively low capacity
compared to fiber, but are of high enough value to the finance
industry to be worth building new low latency links

In their paper, they say NYC / LON RTT will be between 58 and 66 ms -- this isn't much better than fiber. On the other hand, London to Joburg -- starlink has an advantage.

> That doesn't make sense. What is in / that is dangerous?

There have been examples of (un)installer scripts removing substantial parts of your system, steam for example. Linux in this case https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3671, but not generally unthinkable on MacOS. It's generally good if the system puts up barriers to prevent such occurrences.

You're entirely welcome to disable these protections, but MacOS is designed to protect Joe User who may have substantially less knowledge and who has no general need to mess around in /etc

> Obesity is largely a function of culture.

It relates to sugary and fatty food availability. So, yes it's cultural and can be improved by improved the system.

But, its root is the incapability of human beings on avoiding the 'temptation' of unhealthy food.

Asking people to stop eating too much and too bad does not work because our survival instincts tell us that to not eat when you can is stupid. So, changes in availability of unhealthy food are needed to improve the population health.

Your point does not invalidate my point, but both describe our society.

Apple can start leaning on their specialized ML cores and accelerators - Can you elaborate a bit more on this ?

I was wondering how this would unfold and looks like things are moving in that direction https://blog.tensorflow.org/2020/04/tensorflow-lite-core-ml-...

Financial Times is considered one of the least biased papers out there. I feel the quality dropped a bit recently but in general,they are ligh years ahead compared to the usual suspects of this world.
Not to detract from your point, but there have been big protests against the Iraq war in Europe. I was there.

My grievance is more how the media, including the government financed ones swallowed said war.
As Scott wrote in his post, there is a difference between being somewhat-anonymous (people who want to uncover his name will effectively do it) and having his full name shared publicly in one of the biggest newspapers.
You really can't avoid dynamic SQL if you need it for your software. For example, if you give your users the ability to select filters to apply to the data fetched from the DB, you will have to dynamically create the SQL unless the number of possible filters is extremely low. Above a certain scale this might not be feasible for predictable performance, but not everything has billions of rows.

The choice isn't to use dynamic SQL or not in these cases, it's whether you implement the feature that requires dynamic SQL or leave it out entirely.
My first thought was Alexa Show cause it has drop in feature and voice calling.
GDPR for the win. In Europe you could demand to be deleted from all databases at the time. You could demand them not to disclose any personal information without your consent. If they do regardless (and newspapers tend to think they are above data protection issues sometimes) you could sue them. They might have to pay enormous sums for deliberately not complying. I don't think that you would pocket that money, but you would have quite some power in the whole matter.
> well produced 15min video and reading a 10 page PDF,

It is surprisingly difficult to create a useful 15 minute video. Go ahead and be rich if you find it easy. It takes me about 8 hours to produce 15 minutes of truly information-packed video content. And it is not as re-usable as you think.

> if one were to skip all the chitchat

Many people need the social chitchat to feel OK. It is not a negative side of video conferencing, it is added value.
GPU is actually relatively easier to scale by adding more cores/ALUs. The difficulty lies in figuring out how to handle peak current requirement of the whole IP.
UI Animations: Going from Good to Great
My first SaaS adventure, don't be gentle
Hi there!

After 10 years freelancing, it was time for something else. I wanted to spend my
precious time on building something for myself. I found a co-founder and start building my first SaaS: UptimeMate

We did a small announcement in early February, and the interest was great. We received over four hundred sign-ups. Don't know if that is much, but it felt great!

But then the covid-19 happened, and priorities shifted. My co-founder and I had to make sure that our families were safe and that we had an income during the crisis. Bills must be paid and UptimeMate is a bootstrapped project, so we had to make a difficult decision to push the launch forward.

Now things on the covid-19 front are settling down in our region, we felt that now is a suitable time to give them access to our beta.

This is a huge deal for us, and we are scared and excited at the same time. To give people access to our project where we have put all our free time in for the last 6 months.

We decided that we have the beta until September 1. Is a 2/3-month period normal for a beta? Or is this to short or to long?
Our beta is free for everybody.
We introduced an early supporter coupon for people who want to support us and want to upgrade for paid plan. We handout a 50% discount. Smart? Or is this way to cheap?
In the coming months we are collecting feedback and building out our marketing page. We hope to launch our version 1 in September.

I'm curious what you think and would love to hear your feedback. If you want to take UptimeMate for a free spin? Try it for free -> https://www.uptimemate.com/

I'm here all day for questions, feedback etc.

Cheers and thank you!
People should look at cellular.

About 20 years ago China started developing its own 3G flavour as a way to develop its technology and to catch up. People were saying that they were quite far behind and that this might only sell in China (which it mostly did).

But today we see the result of this long term investment with Chinese companies front and centre in cellular an 5G.

I feel that chip manufacturing has shot up to an even higher priority for them now, so I'm thinking that the landscape may look very different from now in 20 years...

If you are looking to learn operating system concepts using RPi there is a new textbook by Prof. Vanderbauwhede, under ARM textbook initiative [1].

I think for educational purposes it will be very interesting and useful if someone develop from scratch a simple System V UNIX for RPi based on Bach's description in his seminal book on "The Design of the UNIX Operating System" [2]. The book also covers multi processors topic as supported by modern platforms such as RPi.

Is there an MVC type of model layer available for prolog?
It isn't necessary that the majority of the population hates it. Just a sizeable portion like 20% is enough.

Also the puzzling thing is the stark disparity of the perception of the smell between different people. That doesn't happen to, say, seeing. This is akin to having a dress where half the people says it's black while the rest say it's white.
He's Orthodox Christian [1], but he defends all peaceful religious practice against the attacks from celebrity atheists like Dawkins and Sam Harris. But he also attacks violent religious extremists like Wahabis. I don't know about him being anti-Jewish. That doesn't sound right to me. Can you point to anything?

I also don't know about him attacking Dawkins' math; I don't know of any significant math Dawkins has ever published. You may be referring to Taleb's defence of E.O. Wilson, Nowak et al [2], which was attacked by Dawkins and Steven Pinker, without disproving the math in the paper, which Taleb claims to have verified.

I thought RISC chips are easier to create in a more power efficient way as the chip design is way easier than for CISC (like x86)? If Apple had been able to create a competitive x86 chip they would've done that. But the instruction set is an extremely important part of that.
Since it seems that the reporter might have been named after all, did anyone take a quick look at their previous work to check whether they have a history of publishing problematic or misleading 'hit pieces'? It might be useful to figure out if concern really is warranted here.
I first heard this explained by John C. Dvorak and it has terrified me ever since.

Originally I just believe that journalist just had a terrible understanding of IT, but when you think about it, there's no reason why it's just IT. Why would journalist have a better understanding of medicine, politics, climate, finance or any other topic covered. Basically you're left it a situation where you can only trust highly specialized publication, who hire subject matter experts and let them act as the journalist.

This raises the question: Are journalists actually required?
I think people are forgetting a very basic human deficiency that Jeff Bezos has all his execs understand, and that's Narrative Fallacy.

We put too much pride and ego into what we know, to create a narrative from the data points we see that might or might not have anything to do with reality.

We should put less ego into what we know and acknowledge that we know very little and start from there.

I don't think that distinction is helpful. Journalism is too important to our society for us to give the profession a free pass by giving the shadier parts a different name.

I'm sure that wasn't your intention but a profession won't improve if there's a way for its practitioners to shrug off criticism by telling themselves some version of the no true Scotsman fallacy.

Each story has one thing following another in a logical progression that i'm sure you can discern, so what more understanding are you asking for? I could tell you all about the movie Toy Story, but do i understand it? I don't know. It's interesting, and i bump into it every so often in my thoughts and all that.

If i understood it, i guess i wouldn't ever need to think of it again. Which reminds me of Twin Peaks, which i definitely don't understand.
