I don't know if I'm a world-class engineer, but I'm definitely a foreign engineer. Why should we all end up in Silicon Valley?

I'd rather have good engineers around the world than all competing in California just because it's a good way for the FANG companies to keep wages lower than they should be. The same companies that tell us that we're living in an interconnected world and so on. Fine, just open offices everywhere in the world, or promote remote work, instead of trying to get everyone in the same physical talent pool.

Ultimately it only benefits the shareholders of those companies, not engineers (American or foreign), nor the population of the areas where tech cash is driving all prices up.
> We're not allowed to use Github in my organization (bigcorp, IP etc.)

Is your organization aware that Microsoft owns Github and your Azure stuff is most likely hosted inside Microsoft data centers exactly like Github? Seems like a weird line in the sand to draw.

> Microsoft under Satya Nadella is a very different company from what it once was.

Yeah, Microsoft is doing great things in other areas. VS Code, Windows 10, WSL, DirectX on WSL, the massive focus on open source and giving back to the community. I just found MS Teams in particular is unusable garbage, but I'm very happy with Microsoft otherwise.

I don't know if you're old enough but MS Comic Chat was significantly superior to Microsoft Teams.
No, the problem isn't in the material, that's relatively easy part, we already have good prototypes in carbon nanotubes.
> if you are going to offer criticism, try and offer a solution or ask a question that would address that criticism.

My solution is that the solution probably isn't useful so don't bother. Seriously. The game of assigning quantitative value to lives is almost never going to help you make better decisions.

> All I see here is "The value of human life is incalculable, so just give up."

Nope. It's exactly not that! I don't think it's incalculable. You can definitely choose a way to calculate it. Precisely, even. But it's going to be some complex function. And you're going to plug that function into another model. And when you do that, one of two things will happen:

1. you'll ground out in a deontology because you choose extreme values, or

2. the uncertainty in the other parts of the model will dominate.

In COVID-19, #2 is what happens.

> With that in mind, what would you suggest as a model for determining, say, how we budget for healthcare?

I suggest that any reasonable model would look more like an entire industry of mathematicians thinking about edge cases than what we would recognize as a single mathematical model. And even then the answer would probably suck. And definitely nowhere would you find it useful to have a quantitative assignment of lives vs. money, because anywhere you try to use that is going to have a ton of uncertainty that dominates the useful range of possible values. Which pretty much comports with my original comment that "there is no universal answer". I'm not an actuary or policy analyst, though.

Situations like this present another potential advantage of organized labor. Beyond guaranteeing benefits and reasonable wages, it can also allow workers to throw a wrench into the gears of whatever evil shit their company might be complicit in. Aviation and dock workers have used their collective muscle to undermine the likes of Pinochet and Israel, and there's a lot of possibilities for tech people to do something similar. It's probably why a company as vile as Google is fighting unionization so hard. Best to keep your employees limited to writing easily-ignored petitions.

I've heard the term seamfulness in design before without properly grasping it and it took me some time to flesh out. The basic gist as I understand it is that our experience of the "real world" is characterized by intrinsic knowledge of limitations (seams) - but knowledge thereof allows for intuitive navigation of said seams - knowing where the edges/seams are gives us a more satisfying/richer experience than running headlong into less-understood limitations where the seams have been hidden from us (ironically for our own convenience).

From the article "when we know where the seams are and how to manipulate them. The power in being able to manipulate the seams creates an elevated experience, one that emulates the ease of a seamless experience with the added power of control. Where seams help you identify how any one element interacts with the broader environment, the knowledge of ‘beautiful seams’ (source) could become invaluable to the user experience."

It's kind of funny; I came out of school ready to design circuits with discrete transistors and they laughed at me. "Sure, that can work, but it will definitely work if you use this opamp." Much like we caution people not to write assembly, because the compiler can do it better.

But sometimes it can't. Sometimes the opamp designers made choices I would not prefer for my circuits. To me it's funny how after all this time, I've only recently started to consider transistor-level design again. I suspect it's a deeper understanding of the tradeoffs than I had as a novice engineer. Or hubris, thinking I can do it better.

There absolutely isn't a practical alternative for low volumes, there's barely even one for medium volumes. There once were IC houses with semicustom parts - they had a variety of transistors, resistors and maybe a few (really huge bipolar) gates onboard, and you could design the metal layer, resulting in a single custom mask on an otherwise standard product. Actually, Astec still has one, Device Engineering offer one, but there's not a lot out there. This was always a niche business anyway.

So yeah, it does seem obvious that we should design from discretes, actually crawl into the boxes in our block diagrams and build the things in there from scratch. But it's funny how easy it can be to stop doing that, to just find a single chip/module that does it all. And it's been amazing to me how well the IC market has mapped out to what I have needed over the past several years. Every time I've tried to build something, I found I could just buy it. Eventually, you think "buy" before "build." For me, it's taken extra effort to consider "build" first anymore.

Just like the author found, it's fun, too. Just buying that ublox GPS chip is okay, but building the parts I need is cool.

Interesting. Although in that situation I think it would be easier to find the outer string, then unescape it, then find the inner string.

Although if you want to do it with pure regex, it can be done without backreferences too, although it would be exponentially large as you get more and more levels of nesting, whereas with backreferences I think it would only get quadratically large.
I was looking for some complete open source Lisp programs to review. I wanted to experience the “magic” of Lisp, and bathe in its suffusion of blue [1], while becoming enlightened in the language of the gods.

I found the Hemlock [2] source code, which is an Emacs like clone. I don’t know how good it is, maybe someone else can comment on it. But the source code appeared to be rather clean and well organized.

This guy’s comment [3] on Lisp got me interested in it again: “Lisp is executable XML with a friendlier syntax.“.

And it appears to be like a key-value pair, where the data and code can interplay, and rewrite itself, and execute itself. Sorta, but if this can be done, then this would make for an interesting self-generating AI system. Of course, there are still other ways to skin this cat, like using a database.

I still need to do some more work to reach that enlightened state of Lisp Zen.

Perhaps someone else can share their enlightened states that they’ve reached with Lisp?

Your wording makes it sound like ARM is still being used just for smaller devices and controllers with very well defined and limited uses. General purpose computing is already possible with iPads and iPhones. They're just artificially limited by the OS.

iDevices weren't really made with games in mind, but they can push out performance that beats handheld gaming devices. Artists (including myself) use iPads extensively and the response time with the Apple Pencil beats out just about anything else on the market. The only limiting factor is the tiny memory that limits the file size and layer limit on some programs. They're just fine for watching video, and even multitasking with a video playing while working on something else. This is on tiny device with no active cooling and long battery life, beating out most laptops in the same price range.

I don't believe there is any curated use case. They're already more than capable of being general purpose computers. I mean, Apple is already openly advertising that they're making iPad OS more desktop-like and operable with mice and keyboards. Literally the only things holding them back are the OS and Apple's refusal to put some decent memory inside.

Ask HN: End of Hackintosh or macOS on Raspberry Pi 6?
Hackintosh - macOS running on non Apple hardware.

Hackintosh community has some of the extraordinarily talented developers, who has over the years developed sophisticated tools and methodologies to run vanilla macOS on non Apple hardware[1] or on AMD CPU with custom kernel.

Apple so far hasn't explicitly indulged in sabotaging hackintosh scene(Only those who sold pre-built hackintosh hardware incurred Apple's wrath), in-fact some hackintosh specific kexts where whitelisted officially in the macOS few iterations back when kext signing became mandatory.

Apple's blind eye towards hackintosh made sense as besides increasing penetration for macOS, it provided access to iOS app development in markets where price of Apple hardware was the primary barrier to entry unlike Android development.

But, interest for hackintosh seems to be declining steadily[2] since it's peak in 2008(snow leopard 64bit?); may be because tools for hackintosh are very stable now, macOS hasn't undergone major architectural change until now (or) is it economic uptrend around the world which makes entry level MacBook a promising investment for iOS development.

Anyways, things have changed today; macOS Big Sur is the official transition of macOS to iOS with better mouse and keyboard support. Would apple lockdown MacBooks further to the level of iPhone/iPad that, macOS upgrades wouldn't be available as separate package on Mac AppStore? I don't see a reason why it wouldn't in the future.

macOS upgrades available as a separate downloadable package is crucial for hackintosh, without it accessing macOS would amount to piracy.

Would this rekindle the hackintosh development to support other ARM hardware(RPi 6?) for macOS or will Apple doubling down on lockdown kill the hackintosh scene for good in this decade.

You don't understand the concept of being a people? Citizenship is not an award, it's not something one deserves. But it's not something you can give to anyone either.

How do you define yourself? Don't you have a people, a group or tribe (whatever you want to call it) you belong to? I know people who define themselves as "human" and "citizen of the world", but they are quite uncommon.

Not to discourage you from a Sprachaufenthalt (ganz im gegenteil), but you can prepare for one by following germanophone papers.

Edit: there are a couple of amusing anecdotes on german culture in http://www.gutenberg.org/files/48612/48612-h/48612-h.htm which I find stereotypical to this day:

> Germans liked things done in an official and formal manner, even in the midst of chaos, catastrophe and defeat. The Allies obliged, and gave the Germans various forms of very official-looking "surrender passes," ...

> The Americans and British dropped leaflets on Berlin ... [with] key numbers in the corners, showing to which series they belonged ... Nazi authorities [sent] Hitlerjugend and Hitlermädel out to pick up the leaflets and turn them in for destruction. ... What the Nazis discovered—too late, too late—was that the schoolchildren had begun collecting the leaflets, using the key numbers to make up perfect sets. Some numbers were rarer than others, so that the Hitlerite children swapped Allied leaflets all over Berlin, trying to make up attractive albums. Mother and Father—who did not dare pick the leaflets up off the street for fear the Gestapo might be watching—found a convenient file, reasonably complete, in the room of little Fritzl or Ermintrude!

Undoubtedly not just a loose file, but neatly punched in a two-ring binder. When Oceania starts to always have been at war with Eurasia (that is, if they read their own books, which Dr. Linebarger doubts), they'll have to make up propaganda sets in the form of Panini cards.

Author is probably being unnecessarily hyperbolic in order to make the piece interesting.

To me, dragon fruit flesh is similar to that of Asian pears, firm, crisp, sweet and refreshing. The tiny black seeds are akin to strawberry seeds in that they add to the texture but are otherwise unnoticeable.

I had my first taste of a dragon fruit a couple of years ago on a Cathay Pacific flight (amazing inflight meals btw) and was like where have you been my whole life. I knew I had to get some when I returned to the US. I quickly learned that most grocery stores in US do carry them... for about $6 per lb. They’re not cheap treats.
This is reading way too much into the game. The game is not a didactic device that aims to teach a lesson about ecology, conservation, and the peaceful coexistence with nature, just like plenty of works of fiction do not address anything in the real world—they are simply figments of the author's imagination.

> Also, a game is not a lecture in economy or ecology.

Okay good, because this sentence invalidates pretty much all of the author's criticisms.

I feel that the whole article is just like the people who say shooting games are harmful because they promote violence in real life (they don't). Why not write about them? "Shooting games actively ignore the basics of human-human interaction, and ultimately the basics of life."

Also, I don't think the author played this game where pollution is turned off:

> As a game device, the aliens force the player to build a machinery of war. If one would take out the products, the buildings, the technology research etc. directly or indirectly connected to military, there is only a fraction left. So for a great deal, this game is a war game, with little strategic value I might add.

When you turn off pollution, you turn off the militaristic aspects of the game, and I can assure you there are plenty of interesting things to explore without the military. From basics like fully utilizing the two-sided nature of conveyor belts (you can totally have each half delivering completely different products and prevent them from mixing up, therefore saving space), to intermediate stuff like fluid mechanics (how many pumps and where), train station design (how to load and unload efficiently) and railroad planning (train signals are surprisingly rich), to advanced things like circuit networks and combinators.
That's OK. I'll make it happen if no one else does.
