It's Fox News for psuedo-intellectuals. My mother is a subscriber so I read a bit and it is absolutely atrociously biased and blatantly misleading in a similar way to how Fox News operate. The main difference is NYT add a minor sheen of intellectual language over the top to try obfuscate it.
Presumably the NYT article would be under the reporters name.

Funny how, I believe, the terms "orphan" and "newtype" originated in Haskell and were carried over to Rust. Evidence of the functional programming heritage that Rust has, I guess.
In the News, to normal people reading an article, it's more interesting to hear about about a real person with a real life, with a real family, home etc than a pseudonym with no background. It sucks but that is how the News usually works, and how people like reading stories about other humans. Hopefully in this case they might see the damage that this might do.

> NYT feeds off of bipartisan hatred and conflict in order to make money

This is how every newspaper that is reliant on ad views for revenue operates. You'll notice the ones that depend more on subscriptions, like Financial Times and WSJ, are noticeably less clickbaity or intentionally provocative.

Also, I'll go out on a limb and guess that you work at Facebook - aren't you guilty of the same thing? Sowing ideological division to increase "engagement"?
> If I give any app the freedom to access my messages or call list, does it increase or decrease privacy?

I have an app(lication) that has access to my messages. It doesn't do anything with them aside from showing them to me on request. It doesn't affect my privacy at all because doing so is far beyond its scope. If I had shitty apps, I would agree, but until now those seem mostly restricted to shitty app stores. But if they cannot be trusted, they cannot be trusted to see my messages at all.

> People are drawing, creating music, making movies, editing photos on their mobile OSes

True, they are not completely useless, just mostly. I can do that on other OS with far more freedom. Artists generally don't like restraints too much and I do actually paint digitally. Wouldn't know how to connect it to a mobile device, nevermind the atrocious software selection.

The cameras on mobile devices are nice though. Don't think the common mobile OS makes handling image date easy at all. Even most normal users want images on their desktop as soon as possible.

How would you measure good journalism? In OP’s case they could only see a given journalist was bad by personally witnessing the falsity. You don’t get many opportunities like that unfortunately.

I do think some journalism is good. Many reporters at the Financial Times come to mind for example. But I found your reply did not really address the nature of OP’s complaint.
It seems short-sighted to ignore the person who has used a product or service, loved it and keeps loving it, and will persistently recommend it to others during its lifetime. It's hard to think of a better marketing channel when it works at scale.

If that's the way they are thinking about "the potential user," all they're saying is "we'd prefer to do our marketing ourselves, please; don't go around recommending our products."
I get the type-safe part, assuming it means the eventual query will produce a predictable result set compatible with wherever it's being read into (I'm not a haskeller), but a) SQL is easy enough to learn syntactically b) there are good reasons not to create dynamic SQL; it's better to write it such that a query plan can be cached (for scalability). Which is very likely possible here but is it done?

I wonder if the person who wrote this understands SQL to sufficient depth. Not saying either way, just asking.

The author might be interested in trying out Eco. It plays like a mix of Minecraft and Factorio, but with ecology and economy added in - you need food and other resources from nature, which you can preserve or cultivate, and pollution causes natural resources to dwindle. There's less automation than Factorio - instead the game is intended to be played by a community of players working together (in a more or less capitalist way depending on what you're into).
Here's the library they've written: https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks
I think this is the critical point. The marginal utility is quite clear though: Readers can check all sorts of claims for themselves by looking up public details about the person. E.g. are they really a psychiatrist working at X as the reporter claims.

In the specific case though, given a really well established pseudonymous online identity, that is the central subject of the article, the marginal utility of the additional information you can check seems uniquely low. At least if the subject is just the pseudonymous activity of the author.

> What if every hospital had an overt political stance and forced doctors to make diagnoses based on those politics?

At least in the US, this is standard. Try getting your local Catholic hospital to deal with complications with your IUD and this isn't a "what if." There are plenty of stories of people who discover that their primary care network has an avowed ideological stance on certain procedures and they need to switch doctors and perhaps go out of network for full care.

> What if the hospitals had a financial incentive to sensationalise public health?

Don't they? There is no shortage of for-profit hospitals, and thanks to insurance, Medicaid, etc., they can often increase profit at no cost to the patient by just seeing the patient more and treating them kn more ways that might be strictly speaking unnecessary.

> What if independent doctors only got into medicine in the first place to make decisions based on their own partisan politics?

Isn't this approximately the backstory of Planned Parenthood?

Basically, everyone has an ideology, a reason to do what they do. Sometimes it's based on their view of the world and a desire to make it better in some way. Sometimes it's profit. Neither of these is necessary nefarious.
That's been done, unsurprisingly, on Twitter already.

I think unfortunately journalists are trained to take phrases out of context so that they sound "sensational" / trigger emotional responses in the readers. You quickly find that out if give out interviews - you need to be very mindful how things may sound if taken out of context.

E.g. a while ago a newspaper here took me an interview/ they were building a story about people that had somewhat remarkable results in school & ample opportunities to leave (e.g. I participated in IOI and had 2 medals), and still chose to stay in the country - what were their motives, how it turned out for them. During the interview, I mentioned something along the lines that "I earn well enough to afford everything that I want, and my friends/family is here, I'm used to the local culture, etc". As a result, "I can afford everything" became basically the headline.
You mean he didn't expect to get so popular? Sure, I can believe that but he's been popular for a while. My argument isn't really that he should have foreseen this, it's his own damn fault and that he deserves no sympathy. He has my sympathy, I just find his response unpersuasive and (perhaps understandably in his moment of distress) overwrought.
Personally, I'd rather journalism wasn't licensed in this way. I get the intention behind it, but it'd basically outlaw freelance journalists, independent journalism sites, blogging, etc, and make it easier to justify arresting people at protests because you don't like what they're recording.

Also an easy target to politicise, and dangerous to society if the far left/right end up running such a board and dictating that their opponents are wrong.
I love when people are shocked because someone decides which tech to use based on the merits of the tech instead of what the current year tech fashion dictates. It's hilarious.

No it didn't. It mentioned running Linux in a VM, which isn't the same thing.
In the Hey case it does seem like Apple was simply applying it’s rules, and DHH didn’t quite understand them.

I was far from simply applying the rules. The only documented rule they were applying was the one, which states that you must use Apple's in-app purchase if you offer sign-up within the app. There are many high profile apps (Netflix, Kindle, Fastmail etc) that require paid memberships but which don't offer sign-up within the app (not to mention several apps that Basecamp already offer in the app store), and Apple has apparently been fine with those for a long time. For that reason, Basecamp had every reason to think that they were in compliance with both the letter of the guideline as well as Apple's interpretation of it.

The distinction between what Apple calls reader apps and whatever they deem an email app to be, as well as the consumer/business distinction that an Apple spokesperson also offered as an explanation to one publication, are not mentioned in the app store review guidelines, and Apple has not talked about them before, so how on earth can DHH be blamed for not understanding that these distinctions mattered?

Cameo seems to fit in the proud tradition of companies that have a niche, but are never going to be FANG. I'd put them in a bucket with Medium, Kickstarter, and Patreon. They provide a relatively simple service, they take a reasonable cut, and it has it's place. The problem with them is the Medium problem - when you've valued your company far beyond its role you essential destroy the business in an attempt to get it profitable to justify the valuation that you've already given it through your series A/B/C.

Whether it's throwing huge cash at A list celebrities, or jacking up the rake on their existing celebrities, or deciding they're a "platform" it's going to be very difficult for their management not to explode their own company through greed.
> Disengaging based on an N=1 is not the type of individual action that improves our society.

Statistical significance is not the only epistemological tool around. I would even argue that, outside of some scientific fields, it is really not that important (and might even lead to a lot of wrong conclusions in the context that is used nowadays, but that is a different discussion altogether).

We are not some dumb statistical machine. We have an entire model of the world in our heads, and one single observation can have profound implications on it. The journalist reports to an editor, who maintains a system of job promotions, and all of this is connected to an institution that holds very real power. The OP observed this journalist manipulating the story, not in a random direction, but in their view in a direction that would appeal to the status quo. It is normal to update one's map of reality when confronted with first-person experience of an event that goes against what you've been told, and when the simplest explanation for how the world works changes in light of this direct observation.

And this is also how your mind works, and this is also how you formed your views on reality, including repeating the "N=1" cliché. None of it has anything to do with p-values.
Maybe there's some case to publish his name if he's misrepresenting himself. It doesn't seem like that's the case. If the journalist finds discrepancies he can report on them too.

Of course it's the role? Your generated value is always your individual contribution multiplied by the task that you chose to apply that effort to.

If you replaced an excellent CEO with a mediocre CEO or with a bad CEO, then you might see, from some baseline, doubling of the company's a value, or erasing it to nothing, based on which direction you decide to set the company and its culture. If you're the CTO for the company, your choice of team structure and how you choose to influence technical architecture could lead to productive happy teams or slow miserable ones. If you're the engineer in charge of writing a service, you could set your team up for tons of technical debt down the road, or a smooth running service that's easily and safely extensible. If you're doing a bugfix, you could spend the time to truly understand and solve the issue, or throw another if loop to the pile that the next person will find and have to understand before they can make their own patch to the code.

So, if you have the ability to spend a day on a single effort, one which will improve the life of one developer, or one that would improve the life of all developers, or one that would improve the life of all employees, there's obviously a preference from the company's perspective. And then you can consider things like, improving the life of people who don't even work at your company, but that's generally done on your own time, unless the company thinks that the reputation that they gain is worth giving you the time.

The audiobook read by Anton Lesser is worth listening to.
I don't disagree with everything in the linked post, but some of the commentary is just "make it better", which really feels like it needs more nuance.

Render pipelines: URP and HDRP are the two Unity-supplied render pipelines, but they're part of a broader Scriptable Render Pipeline project, which allows Unity or other devs to write render pipelines that interface with the engine in ways that non-core code couldn't previously. The "Standard"/old render pipeline is the default now because most assets are built on it, but iirc either soon or now you'll get the option to select the render pipeline when making a project. "Just make swapping free/nondestructive" isn't really a solution for swapping between arbitrary render pipelines, and not even necessarily a solution for swapping between the two Unity supplied ones.

UI: Mostly agree. The layout systems should be better, the masking should be better, the fonts should have been improved in the background as well as buying TMP. Hopefully UIElements is a good solution. Tried to write a React style renderer for UIElements once, but was stymied by the lack of duck typing in C# (without dynamic, anyway).

Multiplayer: Totally a mess.

Demos: Agree that there's often too much reliance on beta features or engine customisations. The SRP approach mentioned above alleviates some of that. Disagree with "don't make rendered videos out of Unity", I work in ArchViz and it's definitely a direction we're pursuing, due to cost and ease of iteration. There's a very cool DOTS/networking example that Unity has been using internally in Unite talks, and I'm waiting for that to come to stable, because it has a really cool editor interaction story for DOTS, networking, remote devices, etc.

DOTS: Lots of the iteration appears to be addressing the author's last point, making the fast solution the simple solution. Transitioning to DOTS with a cleaner API should also help future backwards compatibility, which is a pain point the author identified earlier. Unity's current C# APIs are limited from changing in many ways due to an attempt at backwards compatibility, but a clean break allows you to have better architecture from the start.

I guess the TLDR is that I actually do agree with the author in many ways, though I think they're also being unnecessarily harsh and acerbic in places. Lots of things are in a transitionary state, and have been for the past two years, and that's frustrating as a professional working in Unity. That said, if you're building a game using the capabilities and systems in place now, those won't fall out from under you unless you choose to try follow an upgrade path.

Perhaps. But this is also the kind of story that can go far beyond the HN niche, especially given how it can align with current political views. It depends whether they do publish the article, and what it's like.
That depends on the hardware and the kernel, of course.

I believe Linux has always required wrapping in-kernel FPU operations in calls to kernel_fpu_begin()/kernel_fpu_end(). As I remember, when Itanium first came out, some floating point algorithms in the Linux kernel were changed to fixed-point, because the (at least early) Itanium FPU handled some corner cases (presumably, denormalized) by trapping to the kernel ("floating point assist fault") and requiring the kernel to emulate the faulting instruction in software. The function to enable in-kernel FPU disabled interrupts, which would have caused issues if the FPU needed assist.

The other option (I think) for Itanium would have been to throw out IEEE-754 conformance for in-kernel floating point and have kernel_fpu_begin set the FPU mode bit that just truncated all denormals to zero. I'm not sure the arguments for not doing this, other than fixed point being faster on most architectures and available everywhere, so supporting Itanium was a good excuse to banish a few more uses of kernel_fpu_begin().
So what are we then?
