yah, i would love it if mozilla focused on all kinds of form controls, bringing them to parity styling-wise, adding more hooks for things like validation/more complex interactions, adding common controls (like month), etc.

basically, they should look at the various web ui toolkits like bootstrap and integrate all the controls and behaviors common across all of them. it would be such a major win for developers and users.

Their debt comes from their acquisition. I'm not sure I understand how this is even possible, but it seems that hedge funds are able to buy entities (like Cirque du Soleil) and transfer the cost of acquisition as a debt for the acquiree -- and, of course, not be responsible for this debt.
I think the "in emulation" bit uncertain. I think this got AOT translated to armv8. Also not very apples-to-apples comparison.
Fundamentally, because of "reduction of steps" [1], although the workflows might be otherwise functionally equivalent:

(1) The cognitive overload of the git push and pull - while this might have seemed small when I was using this workflow, I don't have these steps anymore making them seem unnecessary in retrospect. Reduced steps in general are better IMHO: same reason as to why I might use something like Google docs, even though, a somewhat equivalent workflow would involve going via GitHub.

(2) Ensuring all local environments are similar or identical. Esp. a problem when installing new packages, say on device 1... when compiling on device 2, I need to either remember to do this by noting it somewhere (e.g. modifying the makefile), or I am reminded of it with a compilation failure.

Small gains perhaps, but they add up. Esp. if you are working on multiple documents at the same time (I typically have 2-3 active documents).

Minor correction for the author, TCC was not introduced in Mojave. It's actually present on the 10.9 ("Mavericks") machine I'm using right now, where it controls which apps are allowed to use UI scripting. Like on modern systems, this is all stored in a database called "tcc.db", and it can be reset with the Terminal command "tccutil".

This 10.9 incarnation on TCC is much weaker, however. It doesn't apply to most Apple Events—only UI scripting—and once the user whitelists an application, that application can control any other app on the machine. Also, because SIP wasn't introduced until 10.11, there was originally nothing to stop an application with admin privileges from editing tcc.db directly and whitelisting itself—as Dropbox later did!
Thanks for the firsthand insight!

In order to make it reliable you had to make a custom classifier. The one that shipped with their software was garbage.
Short answer: Yes, faster. Long answer: It depends, and you may be measuring the wrong thing.

Among other things, it depends on the workload and the exact processor. You can find plenty of cases where AVX512 makes things faster. You can also find cases where the entire system slows down because it is running sections of AVX512 code here and there—apparently, for certain Intel processors, the processor needs to turn on top 256 bits of the register files and interconnects, and to get full speed for AVX512 it will alter the processor’s voltage and clock speed. This reduces the speed of other instructions and even other cores on the same die (which may be surprising).

While the specifics may be new, the generalities seem familiar—it has long been true that a well-intentioned improvement to a small section of your code base can improve performance locally while degrading overall system performance. The code that you’re working on occupies a smaller and smaller slice of your performance metrics, and meanwhile, the whole system is slowing down. There are so many reasons that this can happen, dynamic frequency scaling with AVX512 is just one more reason.
Housing is a society issue. income inequality and turning housing into business with rent seekers, seeking high returns. hard to fix piecemeal. One wonders if the current pandemic can cause a change.
What if all the stored information occasionally proved a historical 'conservative' right on some issue? Maybe there really were some aspects of life that were better way back when. We might want to figure out what the tradeoffs are. Is everyone being obese a necessary consequence of modernity?

Things are more complicated than you think, and the conservatives are people too. It seems profoundly illiberal to discount their suffering (their lived experience) just because they seem wrong-headed.
Using that analogy, putting a wealth cap on people is something communists do, so therefore they are communists.

Note that postMessage is only allowed same-origin, for privacy reasons (to avoid cross-site tracking).

Portals are entirely new browsing contexts, so just as "heavy" as iframes. Iframes are generally not that heavy though (especially compared to modern JS frameworks); I'd encourage you to experiment to see how well portals might work for your use cases.

Allowing hosts to inform the styling of portaled pages is a communications channel, so we don't want to allow that directly (since it makes cross-site tracking easier). That said, a page can tell via JavaScript (by testing `window.portalHost`) whether it's being portaled, and we think it's probably a good idea to extend this to CSS. See https://github.com/WICG/portals/issues/3 . This is one noisy bit, so it shouldn't cause tracking concerns.
Adding to this, the subthread that followed on from my comment ends up illustrating the point quite well: the harder governments try to override spontaneous order, the further they go down the path to totalitarianism, which I hope people here would agree is not "desirable".

Which is not to say there is no legitimate role for government. Hayek himself identified pandemics and a social safety net as legitimate cases for government intervention.

The government can make a law that says credit card merchant agreements cannot prevent a shop from making cash prices lower than credit card prices.

Then shops will have two prices cash price and credit card price. Then people will use cash more, and the government will lose some of the information they get from reading everyone's credit card transactions.

Do you think this affects the government's decision? Or are politicians simply bribed by visa/mastercard?

You don't seem to know much about banking and large sums of money in practice.

Let me give you an example which I know exists: EU airliner buys an airplane at Boeing. How do you transfer the money?

This is how they do it today: They are at Boeing where the transfer needs to go through. The money needs to be transferred then and there. So airliner calls their bank to transfer the money. But there is a 9 hour difference, so they need to wait when EU bank opens, but before the US bank closes. Call the bank, transfer first to UK bank (I can't remember why they had to do this :(), confirm money is there. Then transfer from UK to US, confirm that the money is there. This all before the US bank closes of course. Very cumbersome and James Bond like.

And I'm not an expert in international money transfers, but I'm guessing it's not 0.

> Nearly every other aspect of how work gets done is unspecified

No, it's not, the whole classic litany of scrum rituals (“scrume events” in the guide’s language) is prescribed in the Guide.

> Two week increments, for example. I've heard so many people complain about scrum mandating two week increments, when it doesn't actually.

That’s strictly true, but somewhat misleading, as while it doesn't mandate two-week sprints specifically, the guide does specify that sprints are not more than one month. (And that they have “consistent duration throughout a development effort”, which is probably a more problematic command. But the most problematic is using synchronized iterations rather than flow for dev work, and locking the time cycle for product iterations to the time cycle for process improvement.)

> Or people complain about "velocity", and "story points" which are likewise not part of scrum at all

Yeah, they are an attempt (and, used as designed, probable the best attempt yet) to deal with a well-documented hard problem un software development which Scrum just assumes is, and requires to be, solved without really commenting on directly. I have far less complaints about them (except that people cargo cult them badly) than Scrum, which, while also subject to bad cargo-culting, has a lot of it's problems baked into the fundamental spec.
I don't understand the point of comparing an A12Z running x86-64 emulation to the Microsoft SQ1 processor which is also an ARM processor but nowhere as beefy as the A12Z. I am not familiar with the Surface Pro X but if Microsoft is doing x86-64 emulation on it I am not surprised it's not as fast as the A12Z.

if the merchant doesn't charge a creditcard surcharge, and using a credit card is worth 1€ to me, and costs 1.01€/transaction to the merchant. but only 90% of transactions are by credit card. well, then i am better off paying by credit card, since 10% of transactions are subsidising my 1€.

(strangely, in australia, card surcharges became normalised just before cash payments fell off a cliff. credit card transactions have also declined; it's visa/mc debit that have skyrocketed.)

It is a Reduced Instruction Set computer. It's a greatly simplified design.

The x86_64 ISA is absolutely insane. The only way to implement it in hardware efficiently is to "compile" the super complicated instructions into micro-ops which can actually be decoded and executed on the CPU.

Said another way, Intel has to implement a compiler in hardware which compiles the machine code before it gets executed. The extra complexity means more power and less performance.

You can read more about how microcode and micro ops work here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Microcode

Technically it's not military occupation by definition, but if China had a military base in one of its ally's territories, would you try to claim that it is occupation? And is it only not occupation if the US does it?
B2D (business to developer) metrics for Series A
Hi all!

Like a lot of startups, it took longer than expected to find product/market fit.

While we can't say we're 100% there yet, we're finally feeling the type of momentum that tells us we're close, with a "connection request > demo scheduled" conversion rate of 25%+ on LinkedIn, and a clear (and big) pain we solve that's identified and validated.

This shift came when we pivoted from a "vertical" application solution, to being an AI/ML development tool.

The "problem" is that our main "persona" is now developers & data scientists (specifically those who work in conversational AI projects), and that no-one on our team has experience in B2D go-to market.

We have a lot of questions, but the main one we want to answer now is: "what are the metrics VCs look for when evaluating B2D deals in the series A stage".

Our analysis of the space seems to indicate that a few tools in similar spaces successfully raised series A on no revenue (indicating that developer adoption/traction seemed more important, at least back then); since the acquisition strategies for B2D feel closer to B2C than B2B, it would make sense that growth > revenue, however we lack good data.

We do plan on getting first-hand answer from VCs themselves and sharing these back, but thought the community might have interesting insights as well in the meantime!
Higan (née bsnes) is written in a very HDL way. It's almost entirely an engine for evaluating RTL graphs with coroutines. cen64 is very similar. 'On clock edge, evaluate the next clock's input latches'.

But yes, it would be really nice to increase verilator's perf to be close to higan (which is a multi dimensional problem, latency versus throughput, etc.), so that you could compile to software or hardware. A MAME cabinet based around an FPGA with cached configuration images would be the bee's knees.

> There are of course now online options for small vendors—Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc.—but that model has its own substantial downsides for something you really want to be able to touch and test out before purchase.

While in general I am a fan of the "small l" hyper-local libertarianism of Strong Towns (I'm a contributor), at least when it comes to things like housing zoning and small scale commerce, I think this demonstrates that the writer has a fundamental unfamiliarity with how Craigslist works for used goods purchases today.

Here's my recent anecdote to support this: I just sold a clothes dryer and furniture set on Craigslist. Both transactions involved meeting potential buyers on site and demonstrating to them that the goods were functional, and even helping them load the goods into their vehicles. One of the items was loaded into a beat-up pickup truck either borrowed or rented by the purchaser from another individual.

The biggest issue with the Craigslist process was that as a seller I received multiple scam requests, and as a buyer at other times, I've found that the item I inquired about was a scam.

But it's very much an in-person commercial experience.

Where I do think Latin America is leaps ahead is in creativity in using items in design that our US-based market-segmented big-box consumer mentalities don't get a chance to ponder. Examples are the Acapulco chair - made of simple plastic PVC thread and a metal frame [1], which was turned into high design (vs the terrible PVC lawn chairs designs of the 70s and 80s in the US), and the many examples of use of upcycled materials to build homes in Mexico [2]

Just because other apps do that is no excuse for bad behaviour. Almost all apps get flack for bad behaviour. Tiktok is the newest popular thing on the block and it is expected to be widely covered.

Most people view copyright overall as a just law even if the details are argued about.
I think it was fairly popular. I saw people arguing for it (you don't need more than $20 million dollars, so it should go to the public)

Of course this is all anecdotal. Of course I can't give you any numbers, just gut feeling I got there.
Quit trolling/baiting this thread - this isn’t some big corporatist conspiracy - this is protecting creator livelihoods big and small.

The vast majority of the civilized world agrees it is good to protect ‘art’ (from code to books) to keep it sustainable. Just because it can be infinitely duplicated and shared ‘freely’ does not mean it is sustainable to do so. If there is no money in art, less art will be made and most agree that this is not desirable.
Does modern web development just completely abandon the idea of "separation of concerns"? Looks like content is freely mixed with markup and logic and results in a horrible, difficult-to-read mess of code.

The current specification allows the portaled page to optionally "adopt its predecessor", putting it into a portal.

It's not clear whether this functionality will fully survive, as we refocus portals around a more tightly scoped prerendering-focused MVP. For example predecessor adoption might only happen automatically (via the browser's already-existing back-forward cache), instead of via an explicit JS API. We'll see.

Multiple portals are generally like multiple iframes, although we may also impose some restrictions on "backgrounded" portals (e.g. the automatic predecessor-adoption-into-the-bfcache mentioned above).
From what I gather the author is trying to say is that it will become endemic and thus "end".

This is not trolling or baiting (nor even intended to be). This is advocating for efforts, very public and visible, against broken public policy. Authors can still make a living without draconian copyright policy (life of the author + 70 years?) and suing libraries (!!!) for making content available during a pandemic.

I don't believe the evidence shows this (but is a topic for another thread, "why do people create?"). People who create to create will still do so (IMHO, based on the history of humans), even if it is what it is for many people: a hobby funded by other work, the state, or private patrons through means other than controlled access to content.
