You need an arm desktop system and those are currently few and far between.

The arm windows systems are most robust but they lack a tonne of software - whereas the big name apps already work on Mac/arm (^h^h^hApple Silicon) already.

Coupled with native support for iOS apps (because nothing sounds as awesome as running a phone app on my laptop) I wouldn't be surprised for Macs to become the most common arm pc fairly quickly.
“You are lynching negros” was a way for the USSR to deflect attention away from their own gulags.
The words Apple and Elixir are both involved, two topics that many HN readers like to read about (including me).

Even so, as you suggest, there are likely thousands of projects going through this transition right now. It's certain that the first retail Macs will lack some support for some things.
I don’t watch GoT, but I have friends who have and I know that a lot of people who were fans of the series liked to talk about the latest episode together. So waiting until later would not be an option for them.
> We've had to worry about work authorization in the past -- i.e. that my girlfriend might not be able to get a job after college because the approval is taking so long and that she would be forced to leave the country if she couldn't get a job within the allotted time. Right now, she can't legally drive (!!!) because her work authorization renewal, which she applied for with ample time, hasn't come through yet. In a couple months, we'll be back to worrying about job loss and deportation...

What if she were your wife?
No need for it since Java got default methods on interfaces.
I'm not a chemist, but the material is likely based on cellulose which is commonly derived from wood pulp. Plastics and fibers made from cellulose are petroleum free. The word "plastic" is pretty loosely defined, so they may be using "100% plastic free" to refer to anything that is free of petroleum. If they are using "plastic" more strictly, then I would guess they are using something along the line of cellulose nanofibrils.

Milwaukee, WI is famous for their Cream City bricks

For anyone interested, Cream City bricks has a Wikipedia page[0] with pictures of buildings built with them.

They invented the "move fast and break things" attitude.

That's fine for a social network, but by forcing the SDK to be directly integrated into third party apps, they're forcing their attitude onto developers that have a "move slowly and don't break things" attitude.

I'm shocked that they have this rule, that developers play along, and that there's apparently nothing that can be done about this.

If there was some easy way to find out which iPhone apps that I'm using have the FaceBook SDK installed, I would mercilessly uninstall all of them.

But as a consumer, I'm completely blind to the privacy-violating malware that is being forced upon me by faceless corporations.

Yay.
I too am an immigrant to the United States and it's frustrating to read this, and not because the reasons most people might think. I came here as a child and I am reminded every day of the privilege American residency and citizenship affords me. The family that I left behind in my home country is still struggling to make ends meet, while I was, as recently as Feb. 2020, making nearly $200K per year as an attorney. I lost my job due to Covid-19, but I am optimistic that my future is bright, mostly because America is still a land of opportunity, unlike the vast majority of the world.

Mr. Duruk's thought's are frustrating to read because he assumes his privilege. He assumes he's owed an easy and straightforward journey to citizenship, that his future as a foreign-student shouldn't be jeopardized in the least by the political whims of the local population, as if the ravaged parts of THIS nation which screamed out and democratically elected a protectionist president do not deserve to be heard at the international's community's expense.

America isn't perfect, no country is, but having lived here for twenty years, having experienced life in other places, and having traveled internationally, I wouldn't chose another place as my home--and apparently neither would Mr. Duruk.

While I do not agree with this administration's immigration policies, I have enough perspective to realize that immigration policy is ultimately beholden to the local population. That is what democracy entails. Nobody owes anybody anything in life, complaining as if you are owed something reeks of privilege and a sense of entitlement.
If you're looking at which company is most likely to achieve a breakthrough in battery tech, Tesla isn't where you should be looking.
I think that part of the hate comes from the fact that this is a fairly unknown service, and unlike Cloudflare, Heroku or AWS, they don't seem to have any other source of income.

So people might just wake up one day, only to find out this service just disappeared because they ran out of money. I would say this would be bad, even for an indie developer or a small company, but any larger company wouldn't even take this risk.
Hey! We’re criticizing the US here. Let’s stay focused.
No, that's a rather preposterous idea. What exactly would China gain from this that would be worth the possible blowback?

The CCP's #1 priority is stability to enable continued economic development. That's why they advance their more adversarial goals via sustained incremental efforts. They view democracies as vulnerable as they so often change leadership, whereas they can sustain very long term goals.

Life tends to be more banal than James Bond. The simple explanation here is that something went wrong and sparked a fire during maintenance work, likely welding, and because the ship was in dock with a bazillion service lines running through the hatches, the fire was able to spread to find fuel trivially. Based on a comment I read from one of the DC folks fighting the fire, they don't know the origin, but they do know it got into the fuel lines, which caused a minor explosion. The odds are pretty high they're just gonna have to let the fuel burn off.
And's and or's are trivial in any good ORM. There are valid reasons to not want to use an ORM, but they are more around the the object/relational impedance mismatch, coupling table design to the domain model, etc.

But the alternative to an ORM is not opaque blobs if SQL hard coded into the app all over. How do you handle SQL injection attacks for example? What if you add/rename/drop a column? Do you just grep you code and edit every blob of sql in the app?
Multiple news sources have called the ship "old" at 23 years, and more succeptable to fires because of its age. I mean, we knew about fire back in 1995 when the thing was designed (I was alive back then, and I knew about fire).

I don't know anything about shipbuilding, but isn't the US Navy full of much older ships that aren't considered fire hazards? Is there something special about this one? It had a halon system (that didn't work).
The actual likelihood of this happening in the real world approaches zero, given the intrinsic incentives of pirates ie to release as early as possible, and the fact that pirates don’t usually know (or care) if the product has recouped its investment, or not.

Even if it was possible, surely the people who have invested real money should be the ones to make this decision? Indeed, lots of IP becomes free (even freedom-free) after it’s made money, eg the Quake engine.
According to what I’ve read, the halon fire suppression was down for maintenance when the fire started.
I think the gut reaction is that local news is failing because people would rather hear from a source that is more biased to their personal viewpoints. Local news is by nature unbiased (mostly).

This is true, but there are a lot of people that don't care about this and just want to hear the news.

I think that the more overlooked problem is that local news is too general. There may be a few articles/stories that I really care about, but to read/listen to them I have to sift through everything else.

With everything becoming more and more specialized, if I only care about two areas that the local news reports on, it is almost guaranteed that I will be able to switch to a separate outlet that covers only this. I only care about sports and startups? Cool - I'll subscribe to The Athletic and a TechCrunch newsletter. Now I get what I want without all the fluff around it.

This seems to be a huge problem that will be difficult for local news outlets to solve.
These sensors are usually on rooftops, and while I believe they could pick up conversations if we’re next to it or yelled loudly (as in, physically capable of capturing frequencies of human voices), I don’t believe they have a use for recording lots of audio to some permanent storage. Their main purpose seems to be posting time stamped events of a particular sound occurrence with a couple seconds of sound surrounding the event. [0]

> Only two seconds before a gunshot and four seconds after a gunshot are recorded, the company claims.

If they were recording full conversations on purpose without permission that would expose a lot of liability, and unless every customer is in on it (I doubt these distributed public entities are coordinated) I think there would be some documented story by now.

If they want to push that responsibility they should do it officially rather than as a suggestion. The company I work at has a concept called a "build horizon." The rule is that clients have to be updated within the horizon. Internal services do not have to consider internal clients older than the horizon, and may break them arbitrarily. In effect this means that even the least with it internal clients rarely let their internal releases languish more than about half the length of the horizon, because of the associated risks of missing the cutoff.

There are many similar successful concepts that cap the maintenance window that services must tolerate, while at the same time giving developers enough forewarning to understand what is expected of them.
It was laid down in 1995, that's not particularly old for a naval vessel in general. The Wasp class are still active, their replacements are just now entering service, and there was no plan to decommission it that I'm aware of.

Whether it gets repaired or not is more of a financial decision than anything else. Surely the hull has many decades left.
Are there any 4k page size expectations built into the VM? From wwdc the DTKs have 16k pages?
Garp3 looks really interesting. Of special interest to me is inport/export of OWL.
I mean we're not just talking about sketchy payday lenders here, right? You're also saying that Fortune 500 companies that issue bonds are being forced into doing so by whoever's buying those bonds.

That's crazy though. There are plenty of reasons that a company might prefer to issue debt instead of selling more equity.
I have a static IP and it shows a whole bunch of unfamiliar torrents. What am I missing, how could it show false positives for a specific IP?
More like $25-50. But even then, it likely doesn’t have the attributes attached to it that you want if you have a particular target.
sad story ben!
People are tearing down statues and changing language while it is becoming increasingly difficult to openly question any sort of mainstream narrative. These changes were obvious to me beginning with COVID. I haven't been seeing much in the way of "liberal" values and I really question whether or not the US actually "won" the Cold War.
Yes this is exactly what happens in STEM. It is less well-regarded domestically as a vocation, while in many other countries it is considered as a pinnacle of achievement (not to mention a stepping-stone to residency). So our top students go into medicine/law/business or whatever instead, while top students from other cultures come for STEM grad school.
Posthumous execution?
Apparently the fire suppression systems were locked out to facilitate the work and the doors/hatches had temporary cabling/hoses/vents running through them which prevented the crew from quickly locking down areas and control the spread.
Not at all, I was more speaking to companies that lean heavily on OSS without giving back, which sounds like your experience. Would love to pick your brain sometime if you’re open to sharing any lessons you’ve learned along the way.
I don't understand. You have an issue with "spending so much", but you have a hard time caring about an event that's going to have a large cost?
Have you ever been on a massive ship? 844 feet long and only 160 crew. How many rooms do you think the boat has? The ship is almost of the size of a Manhattan city block. Imagine a small skyscraper incased in a steel hull.
I think they're a lil cheaper but why stress over 0.2% when you get a better product that can give you more conversions.
The message has been clear for years now. It was re-iterated in WWDC videos and various interviews.

The Mac is the Mac. It has been and will continue to be the machine where you can install software not approved by Apple, turn off security, and otherwise poke at the system. You can still create your own kext caches and mount the root filesystem as read-write on Apple Silicon. The procedure has changed but the ability to do it has not.

I really honestly don't know how much clearer it can be.
It's been interesting to me to see that despite staying at home all the time due to the corona virus, my smart phone usage hasn't really dropped off. I would have expected to be spending more time on my laptop, but it seems like there is something compelling about the medium.
If I was forced to make a bet, I would guess fly ash.

https://patents.google.com/patent/US10669205B2/en?oq=US10669...

I think this is the patent, but they don't mention a "binder" per se. There are several claims specifically relating to the exclusion of "tar" which seems interesting. I think someone better versed in reading patents than I am might be able to make more sense of that. Tar just doesn't seem like their style. Maybe there are already claims on that or they are well known. But "organic matter", "tar", "cement" or "fly ash" still seem like possibilities.

The patent also mentions "additive" (e.g. pigment / recycled toner) as improving the strength of the resulting bricks and reducing moisture uptake. It can be added in surprising amounts (5-20%). That doesn't seem very scalable though.

Or, of course, they could have come up with something else in the meantime. Distinctly possible.
There's about to be.
I can assure you that a perfect copy of the Mona Lisa (i.e. indistinguishable, even to an expert) would cost much more than a few dollars.
Ask HN: Last Mile as a Service
I’m trying to determine if there are start ups that are doing last mile delivery as a service. Similar to EC2 but you provision drivers and cars who can fulfill deliveries. For about every other company building last mile technology feels like unnecessary heavy lifting.
Military funding is just something we will have to live with, regardless of any kind of social movement. The military is one the few institutions that enjoys Bipartisan support, there is also ample evidence that military funding keeps the American economy humming. Accidents such as this will always happen, regardless of the best safeguards in place; it is the cost of maintaining a large naval force.

At the cost of defunding schools? Most certainly not. The US has enough to fund schools and the military; the lack of federal funding is purely political on the part of the current administration.
Thanks! Focusing on the core features was definitely the hardest part.
Not really, people whose status is beyond question can do stuff like this just because they feel like it. I attended a high school play at a fancy private school in Texas and to my surprise the parking lot attendant was Michael Dell, who had a kid in the school. Nobody said “yuk yuk Dell is such a loser he worked the parking lot.”
Details please?
I find I have a better experience discovering music by making a playlist and then doing the playlist radio to get more music similar to it. Eventually it just plateaus and keeps giving me the same artists as the playlist, but there's a kind of sweet spot where I've found stuff I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Wow it's long
It is a cruel irony of Earth that our atmosphere is made up of such an odd mixture. It’s odd to think that air itself is outright dangerous.

Four fifths of the fluid in which we live and breath ranges from inert to noble. The remaining fifth is one of the most dangerous, angry, reactive, poisonous gasses we know: Oxygen.

It is crucial to life and yet at the same time is quite capable of partially or completely destroying everything we hold dear. Our tools, belongings, us, our homes, warships, forests, crops and savannahs. It needn’t even burn with a flame: most things will decay in its presence with or without spectacle.

If one encountered a planet where almost everything was made of gelatinous gasoline, whose principle inhabitants were a form of highly evolved sentient matchstick that kept striking boards as pets, one might think them a little risk averse. Then of course you’d realize that life and society on this planet have evolved in such a way because they are neither unfortunate or insane enough to live on a world that’s blanketed in O₂.

On a visit to this planet you explain to their ambassador about the atmosphere on your home world. She doesn’t know whether to laugh hysterically or faint in horror. The knowledge terrifies her and she takes deep methane breaths while stroking her phosphorous hands on tibbles-the-striking-board, trying to calm down. You decide it’s best not to further disturb her with stories of plate tectonics and the major cities, nuclear reactors, etc your people have built on fault lines, at sea level.
It wouldn't make sense for them to do otherwise. The Mac has its market and a large proportion of that market demands those abilities. Why turn the Mac into iPadOS when they have iPadOS already?

What they are accomplishing by going to their own silicon is eliminating the need to maintain the Mac as a completely different hardware and driver line. Now the Mac is just a bigger higher specced clamshell iPad with MacOS, and MacOS is the same kernel and mostly the same drivers as iPadOS and iOS but different security policies and a somewhat different user space. It's sort of like a different Linux distribution with a different window manager and different defaults.

I think this will make the Mac better because now it can benefit from all the product dev and R&D being done for iDevices, and vice versa. All those neat features in the high end iPad can now be considered for the Mac.

It would not shock me if they someday allowed the Mac to run iPadOS either if the user so chooses, or vice versa, via some reinstall process.
Extremely ironic given your username.
He thinks we overvalue these things in our society and he does not view this as a huge loss. I'm sure he grasps that they will just buy a new one.
Though preferring is different from being able to tell the difference.
>Google always controlled the search results, and therefore the information you were going to see. Filtering the pages they link to isn't materially different from filtering the facts they choose to feature.

And they have been caught over and over either flat out memory holing or burying things they are ideologically opposed to as well.
Fires on a ship can spread scarily fast, which is one reason sailors devote so much time underway to cleaning--I've heard anecdotal stories of at least one lethal fire spreading through a ship's ventilation system due to the amount of combustible stuff it sucked up.

In port, a ship may be particularly vulnerable to this sort of thing, partially because fire boundaries that are normally closed while underway may be open to facilitate maintenance.

Here's a diagram showing a rough LHD cross-section near the bottom of the page: https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ship/lhd-1.htm

The fire here broke out in the lower V, close to one of the ship's magazines but pretty far from a lot of the bulk fuel (although there are a number of fuel pipes in and around the area in order to facilitate fueling assault craft and ground vehicles, which may be contributing to the fire with residual fuel).

Fortunately, even if there is a magazine in close proximity to the fire, it's likely well-protected, and unlikely to be full of ordnance. Furthermore, ordnance approved for shipboard operation has special thermal coating to reduce the likelihood of cook-off, which may be enough to protect it against the indirect heat of a fire on the other side of a bulkhead.
It will take about 400 years to adjust difficulty in such case, but not a million years.
The halon system was switched off because it was in maintenance.
I don't think anyone wants to put the FBSDK into their apps. You kind of have to to optimise your cac.
These days on my Mac, that's Ubuntu. Xcode and Homebrew upgrades regularly break things for me, and I've never had that issue on Linux. I also don't have to fight with Ubuntu to get it to do what I want like I did with macOS.
Transmitting and receiving implies an exchange. Transmitting just means sending.
That works for most shows, but with Game of Thrones you'd get left out of the conversation that same week and risk seeing spoilers everywhere.
I can remember someone denying me an invite to a private tracker because I might “hurt his ratio”. He eventually relented but it was a hassle. My internet was faster than his at the time so it was a factor for sure.
If the fire was in control it wouldn’t still be burning. This isn’t a forest fire where controlled burns can keep smoldering for days. If the fire was in control it wouldn’t still be burning.

edit: Downvote all you want but if the fire was in control it wouldn’t still be burning.
No, I'm not. I'm positing a possible alternate explanation, something other than "straight up victim," for a woman who reportedly was extremely competent, with a high IQ, a successful career and so forth.

I am doing so based on what I have known about the life and attitudes of a serious career woman I was quite close to and based on my own first-hand experience as a 55 year old woman who was one of the top students in my graduating class, had a corporate job for a time and other life experience.
How major and minor device numbers worked in V7 Unix
I'm not sure any answer other than "I felt like it was a good choice" is gonna be 100% accurate, but a few things, some of which are speculative, some of which are reactionary.

(I'm sadly not very familiar with OAS, so it's very possible that OAS supports many of the things I'm going for!)

- This takes very heavily after protos, which use a DSL.

- This rejects protos because of a few reasons, not the least of which is that every field in proto3 is optional. While it makes sense for google, I don't think it makes sense for everybody.

- gRPC is non-http, and I was unhappy with gRPC-web

- I wanted it to be a terse specification, such that just glancing over the definition file gives you a sense of what the API consists of.

- I wanted a solution that handled websockets/server push as a first-class citizen, and not as a secondary add-on

- I wanted to provide library-level validation of request / response shape.

- I wanted to extend it beyond typescript, notably into python (and hopefully beyond)

- I like the idea of generic structs and oneofs (which I'm going to implement in some future version). I think if we had an easy way to define generics in cross-language APIs, we'd probably use it a fair amount.

- I like the idea of having an extensible language, e.g. be able to provide a JSONLogic type. Imagine a field `priceCalculation: JsonLogic<string, number>`. That'd be pretty cool!
