> Women I know who wrote software kept finding new roles where they'd be in management instead and then they moan that they liked writing code and miss it. Maybe that tells us that sexism in software development is prevalent and they wanted out, which is no fault of theirs, and maybe they just wanted more money - but it definitely sucks overall.

I secretly (well not in this moment but ordinarily secret) consider women in software development smarter than men, on average, due precisely to this observed tendency to spot where the social and monetary rewards are (management, other social roles "above" developers) almost immediately and start aiming for that ASAP.

[EDIT] this is in general bigcos and "startupy" places, anyway—I dunno if that trend holds in e.g. FAANG or finance or the other places where devs actually do make really, really good money rather than just good-for-not-a-manager like everywhere else.
No white collar criminal expects to get shot over accounting fraud or insider trading. They go quietly, turn themselves in.

I do understand the libertarian view of things, the first-principles consideration that ends every conflict in a wild west shootout. But in reality most people want to participate in society, and abide by the social contracts therein.

Feel free to consider my original questions, if you want.
For me, I use 20g of coffee, ground to a 20 on a Baratza Virtuoso, with a 275mL of water in a French press, brewed with boiling water for 4 minutes.

If you change any of these variables- grind size, water temperature/volume, amount of coffee, etc, you drastically change the caffeine content.
The only thing that really stood out to me and that I’m excited about is, “AirPods automatic device switching”. Which IMO they should have had from day one when launching the AirPods.
Not an insider, but as far as I know, it's mostly their fab that failed.
They're still on 14+++nm when AMD is on 7nm, with 5nm coming soon.

You can have the best architecture in the world (no idea if they have) and the best engineers, it's hard to compete when you're so far behind in transistor size.
Nah, I have (for one example) a collection of apps that just exist to power the real version on my watch.

Note that these apps actually do something in some cases, like I have a Twitter app (Chirp) where I'm pretty sure the heavy lifting happens on my phone and the watch just does the display.
Also didn't he leave to create his own design firm, whose biggest client is Apple? His influence will be all over their products for a while.
What Went Down at WWDC 20 – A quick glance
No AVX is fairly brutal

Not at all. You can measure average density of patrols in various areas at various times, the mean and average distance between patrols, the average response times for different patrols to converge onto a response. You can also poll the community on perceptions of local police, visibility, community satisfaction, and so on. To say this sort of thing is too hard to measure really only means you don’t want the data.
There is a Pandemic going on. This fully online WWDC certainly affected the feeling as much as the content.
We are starting to find out the long-term effects of benzos, and it doesn't look good: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6325366/
No, it seems certain mathematicians simply assume this to be the case without any scientific argument behind it.

Perhaps it's just too easy to call something "racism" just because we don't like it?
> There was no interest in building bridges during it's building, Republicans were laying out the dynamite, and spent a hell of a lot of wasted effort after Trump took office trying to trigger that dynamite.

So what's the point? One could argue that Republicans were responding in kind. You would disagree (as would I, but that doesn't matter). This kind of endless litigation only polarizes us--we each permit our own extremists because we believe they are slightly less bad than the other side's extremists. I think a multi-party system would be helpful, but I think the problems run deeper (especially since we're seeing the same trends toward polarization in countries with multi-party systems).

I think at its core the problem is that our epistemological institutions are corrupted by extremists. We aren't having an actual debate because the "hosts" or "moderators" of the debate are only presenting one perspective and only the facts that support it. The other side isn't going to have their opinions changed because their questions aren't being addressed, only shouted down and maligned. I think this lack of real national discussion drives each side to be more entrenched and more extreme, and I think this is somewhat by design--the media in particular seems to be optimizing for it deliberately.

I think we need to build a collective awareness of the manipulation we're subject to. We need to understand that the folks on the other side of the party line aren't evil, but that we're being presented with a distorted perspective (although certainly many on each side really are bad). We need to start moderating ourselves as individuals and developing empathy for people on the other side of the party line while demanding better of our institutions. We won't start agreeing with each other on everything or indeed many things (and certainly not overnight), but we should be able to have productive debate and work gradually through issues. We need to start humanizing each other and finding common ground.
One thing I both like and dislike about Taleb is his habit of "name dropping". In his earlier works (e.g. Fooled by Randomness) this was great as it produced a wonderful reading list (e.g. try Popper, it's far more accessible than I expected). In his later works, I find it fairly unpleasant.

But Read (or re-read) Fooled by Randomness with a notepad handy and note down any author he recommends and that should answer your question.
Almost every streamer will have twitter/instagram because it's near impossible to get sponsorships/brand deals without them.
XHTML was not that bad. It was quite conservative - make serialization/deserialization idempotent, remove document.write, quirks mode, DOM Level 0 accessors.

The stupid part was advertising of writing XML by hand - both XHTML and XSLT. That is machine format - "application" in "application/xml". Not more sense than writing JS AST. And semantic web has no advantage for author.

XHTML 2.0 - XML Events is like IE <script for>, <img>alt</img> is good, <h> is good, removal of <i>, <b> - no one would see, XForms - partly adopted, and RDF - don't know.

Though it kind of understandable - XML was in rage. Everyone pushed it, Microsoft above all, IE5 accepted "text/xml" [1]. And Microsoft pushed XSLT without XSL-FO.

Everything except for the Android part, sure.

But you're definitely letting perfect be the enemy of good if you think that closed-sourced drivers means that e.g., a closed source web browser doesn't increase your privacy attack surface.

Life is full of choices between imperfect options. And security/privacy is always qualified with "from whom". Sure, closed source drivers are not ideal and I am more vulnerable to privacy attacks from state actors. But why should my response to that be to just willingly give all of my personally identifiable information to Google, Inc?
Burning a building to the ground is presumably an (in)direct act of violence against the inhabitants of said building. 911, the Oklahoma City Bombing and the Kyoto Animation fire all come to mind.
I'm wondering if the EU will retaliate?
$17 is the global average. If you live in a country like the US, you probably generate way more revenue per year, since you have more spending power (and thus are more valuable to advertise to).

I think the general problem is that those who can afford to pay for Facebook are those who are the most valuable to advertisers. So if you gave users the choice to pay or not, the users who draw the advertising revenue would pay, leaving the users who the advertisers don't really want to advertise to.
> Graviton is apparently pretty closely based on an Arm Neoverse N1 CPU and the 64 vs 32 core point is comparing a hyperthreaded part vs one that isn't.

How does hyperthreading change the story here? The 32-core CPU is the one that had hyperthreading while the 64-core one didn't. Hypthreading is widely regarded as being around +20% performance for multithreading-friendly workloads. Either way, the per-core performance of the 32-core x86 CPU is nearly 2x that of the 64-core ARM one. That's not a good look for being desktop-viable.

Especially when the 32-core x86 cpu also comes in a 64-core variant. And then a 2P 64-core variant even. You can have double the CPU cores that are each 2x faster than the Graviton 2 CPU cores.

Which gets back to only Apple has managed to get ARM to have good per-core performance so far.

> Plus Graviton seems to be materially more cost effective.

The c5a.16xlarge is the same price as the m6g.16xlarge. No cost effective difference in that head-to-head.
> The other unspoken risk is that while Apple may be vertically integrating its SOC, it still relies on a fab like TSMC. Intel's recent problem is rooted in their inability to move off legacy 14nm fabrication process. TSMC may have done great in 7nm and now to 5nm transition, but what happens if/when they stumble? Would Apple also want to acquire them or build its own fabs to mitigate this risk?

Surely this is an advantage to being fabless? If TSMC stumble, they can evaluate other options. Same for AMD, where would they be now if they were still tied to GlobalFoundries?
Pretty sure he survived if you left through the window after killing everyone.

You meet him again later iirc, though only very briefly.
Because the apps that are considered part of the OS are tightly coupled to the OS itself, and often those app updates are intended to showcase new features of the OS that they want developers to take advantage of. Things that are considered standalone apps like Logic, etc. get updates through the App Store like other apps.
Referring to the other side in a debate as "the devil," aside from being hyperbolic to the point of inducing an eye roll in every reasonable person within earshot, is exactly how the US ended up with a reality TV show host in the White House.
There’s no accounting for the priorities of large corporations.
Delivering applications in chroot/jail had some momentum circa 2003. The tooling was on par with current docker if chosen wisely, but surely not on the level of vagrant/docker-compose/docker swarm/kubernetes.
If a company denies products and services to poor people because they can't afford them, and those people are poor as a result of generations of systemic racial oppression, then that company is guilty of racial discrimination. Racial discrimination is a cornerstone of the whole socioeconomic system.
I've heard good things about the mobile OS, but with Mixer Microsoft missed the mark.

They did a decent job of copying the Twitch UI to make the transition familiar, but then had a number of unnecessary friction points that I'm sure drove folks away. As an example with my own experience: I was a somewhat regular Shroud viewer on Twitch. When he had his first Mixer stream I tuned in, only to find out that A) his overlay notifications hadn't been integrated and B) I couldn't even minimize the chat pane of the viewer without signing up for a Mixer account, which was an onerous process.

Not having a large streamers overlay integrations working prior to his debut stream tells me that MS does not understand how critically important community engagement is in live streaming.

Forcing me to sign up just to be able to control the viewer UI drove me away and removed any chance of me returning and finding organic reasons to sign up for Mixer.

That was the one and only time I watched Shroud after his move.
It was frankly amazing to see how utterly silent US media was on the yellow-vests movement. Do you have any good retrospective sources that I can read up on about those, I think my media experience with it was hearing about it once on NPR and then never hearing it mentioned again except in the form of a neo-facist related movement.
I don't find that hilarious. Anyway, if you have a “no snitch culture” you can't expect the police to have an easy time at finding the perpetrator.
so could you provide some actual, open-source basic benchmarks. And not strange, opaque geekbench results...

I guess AMD is fine for me (as is my old Intel-notebook) and I'll just wait for POVray, GROMACS and Co.

EDIT:
And well, I noticed, supposedly Anandtech ran SPECint2006 on the A13 (and numerous other chips) - they ran it with WSL for x86 (because running on a dozen Android things is easier than running a standard benchmark on Linux/Windows ofc). You find the results here: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/14892/spec2006-global-over... - I guess (not sure, because it's for some reason not cleary marked and mentioned...) these are SPECint2006-results. So, let's check them for validity (because WSL is no problem and it matches Linux ofc); just looking at an i7-6700K (which is a little bit behind the i9-9900K they supposedly ran on):
https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2016q1/cpu2006-20160... - marginal worse performance than @anandtech in some benchmarks, but that's with an older CPU and an older arch! And then there are the 3 or 4 benchmarks which are just way off. Makes one wonder, what they really did (because of course, installing CentOS and running SPEC on native Linux is too much of a hassle, when running and compiling on 8 ARM-platforms!?)

EDITEDIT: it's even worse for SPECfp2006: https://www.spec.org/cpu2006/results/res2016q1/cpu2006-20160... [well, here the old 6700K suddenly sometimes is twice as fast as the 9900K and 3x as fast as the A13 (and yeah the story of the 2.8GHz-low-power-chip drawing circles around a 4.5GHz-HF-part just didn't sound convincing in the first place...)]
I use AdGuard DNS. https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html No connection with the company, just happy how it's worked for the past month with all of us (Dad, Mom, 3 teenagers) at home and zero complaints from the family.

I had set up one PiHole and was trying to decide whether or not to do another Raspberry Pi or on a Mac since the router wasn't happy with just 1 IP for DNS. Decided to try the AdGuard route and it just works.
I honestly don’t understand what you were unable to do. You had to open the sms app and reply... Maybe there was something that has changed and I’ve forgotten about.
It is $500 and you have to return it at some point.
That was long coming with the Mac App Store, signed apps, TPM, abandonment of OpenGL/OpenCL, etc.
Patagonia's actions are 100% within their rights. Patagonia's actions are 100% about exercising their rights, as you say. Both Facebook and Patagonia are entitled by the First Amendment, as reiterated by Citizens United, to exercise the freedom of speech directly, on behalf of their owners or shareholders. There is no First Amendment violation of any sort.

Nevertheless, the thing that Patagonia are exercising their rights to do is a call for censorship. The point of the boycott is to pressure Facebook to censor users' content, with the aims of preventing certain viewpoints from being expressed. These viewpoints are likely noxious.

This is a call for censorship in practice. This exercise in free speech seeks to undermine the exercise of free speech. This movement is a call to reduce the freedoms which is made available in practice to the people of the world.

I do not believe it will stop here. I believe it will not stop until it is very harmful. I believe someday the fruits of this movement, if successful, will gravely harm the freedoms of expression generally.

I therefore condemn and denounce it (though I will not call for it to be censored.)
You learn that you are on the mercy of the platform owner.
And that if you withhold enough details of the punishment you can play afool with courts.
Code generation is not a safety issue. If you have the privileges to run code then generating code should not cause more problems unless the OS has significant vulnerabilities.
Same here, you summed up succinctly why I also have not followed through with a degree. The academic system is now more of a hindrance than a help, compared to studying independently and maintaining connections outside academia. Academia has failed to adapt to modern learning.
Macs are cheaper than PCs and have longer support.
A large issue is that people refuse to help them. How do you solve a crime if no there are witnesses willing to talk...
And defeating a CPU ID check is trivial.

Companies selling hardware that is "Mac compatible" and profiting from that is a very different thing. Apple clearly cares about that.
Cops shouldn’t be put in a spot to make decisions. Otherwise societal biases seep into those decisions. Our policing systems should be resilient against biases in the individuals policing.

Is that an editorialized title? The title on hackernews doesn't convey at all what the article's title and subtitle do:

> Like the entertainment industry, colleges will need to embrace digital services in order to survive.

Completely different meaning.
The article itself is not starting a gender flamewar. The author is reflecting on her experiences. It's interesting. The flamewar starts when some users find parts of it activating and rush to the comment thread to reflexively vent their activation. Better options would be to reflect on one's own reactions long enough for them to turn into something thoughtful [1], or simply not to post. If you don't find it interesting, there are other things to read and discuss here.

It is unlikely that the custom kernel extensions and other processes used to support the "in violation of terms of service, exposing you to risk of relation by Apple up to and including termination of iCloud/iTunes services and/or legal action seeking recompense and damages" macOS installation process for non-Apple hardware that you seek will be ready today for the macOS 11.0 beta released an hour ago.
And identity politics breached into the final bastions of logic completing the spread of corruption and signalling the completion of the ritual to summon the lord of chaos.
One thing I would definitely add is never use Stripe Connect and Stripe Billing within the same Stripe account. Make sure you create a separate one. Stripe does not have any tools to separate the data once mingled and it makes accounting a total nightmare. Wish I’d known this before.
It was on the first page of a Google Image search.
Isn't that for specific benchmarks though such as some geekbench/specint or web browsing benchmarks? I worry about non-gpu floating point for example. There is so much hand-optimized AVX/SSE code out there in big apps.

Yeah, the fact that the PS2 could play DVDs had absolutely nothing to do with its tremendous success.
Why would they need to sell them to anyone?

They'd just run their internal clusters with the high binned parts, and the low binned parts would go into their AWS budget tiers.

Tada! Now they've got the best, and unloaded the rest onto suckers while billing them for the privilege.
RISC-V doesn't really get Apple anything. They were a very very early investor in ARM back in the early 90s, and the rumor is that they have a pretty much "do whatever you want" licence to ARM technology.
"As fast" on specific curated use cases. Show me an Apple chip that beats any laptop on 7zip.
In 1995 individuals would crank out doom WADs and marathon maps like it was nothing. 2.5D was a sweet spot for ease of making something. As a tween with no artistic skill and the family computer I could make maps and mods and texture stuff.

Things got more difficult when everything became legitimate 3D because of unreal and quake. It still happened but IMO was a much steeper curve.

For serious scientific studies, anecdotal data is not useful.

For product fit, the experiences and feedback from your target audience are _extremely_ "relevant in the grand scheme of things." If your target audience is saying "I literally don't know anyone who would want to use this," yeah, that's relevant.

Unless you're aiming to imply that me and my friend group and greater gaming community are the exception and in fact the majority of young people use facebook, in which case....lol.

My "anecdotal experience" is interacting with dozens of gaming communities which mysteriously all link to subreddits and discords and twitches and never, ever a facebook group. That's not very anecdotal when these are communities of tens and hundreds of thousands of people.
