This is my consideration.

1)ARM is good for phones/tablets/portable small devices which runs on battery because it saves much more power.

2)I think that x64 hardware of similar specs outperforms arm64 in performance.[Personal observance]

3) I love how I can boot Different linux distros/BSDs/HaikuOS/Windows/other x64-generic-OS.In my arm64 phone,I can't(OS must be especially crafted for that specific processor ,then it must be tweaked carefully for that device in order to boot).Also,there is very much diversity in arm64 space.This implies that some arm64 hardware can't boot/run some OSs which hasn't been crafted for that device.

For my use-case,(3) is very important.I am damn sure that,some manufacturers might manufacture hardware that can't boot other OS(say situation where most (arm) laptops can't run linux and only runs windows). I don't want that to happen.Also , booting up OS in arm64 is not standardized(there is lot of diversity in boot process in arm64 unlike x64).Also ,some components might not be upstreamed in Linux kernel(So,I need to patch my kernel everytime/My kernel will never get updated to new major version like many android phones).

Speaking of other architectures,I also don't think RISC-V will become major architecture anytime soon/will suffer the same disadvantages of arm64 I mentioned above.Maybe,pp64(openpower) might be good architecture but I haven't got a chance to deal with that hardware.

A few comments. This is a port of Basilisk II. If someone feels uncomfortable using an Electron app, they can still install plain Basilisk, which works just fine.

I don't know if you can distribute OS 8.1, but there certainly might be a legal issue with the original ROMs. You're including one and the thing is people used to look elsewhere for those. They're easy to find, and there are tools to dump them if you happen to own such a Mac which would make this issue disappear.

About some posts here. I've never had decent performance with Hypercard in Basilisk II, on the other hand Mini vMac works great for that.

Lemmings run nicely in Executor, which happens to be a nowadays free compatibility layer for 68K Mac software that doesn't need neither a dumped ROM nor any copy of the Macintosh System Software.
That would be done by frigates, destroyers and corvettes. Carrier groups are needed to dominate conflict theaters and other countries by projecting power.

I wonder if, though possibly solving the problem of clean energy, it will also create other problems, say, something like "geomagnetic field pollution".

Alex Salmond Trial: Sky News Miss the Story
Apple owned 43% of ARM in the early 1990s, when the company was investing heavily into Newton and associated mobile technologies during the Jobs interregnum.

Owning the instruction set and reference designs maybe isn’t terribly useful, when your primary competitors already have perpetual licenses to the technology and do their own core designs.
Something seems badly off to me with the phrase "candidates who stumped 40 year veterans with elegant code".

I don't want code that stumps anyone. I want code that delights 40-year veterans, for sure. But the signal of genuine elegance is "oh, that's a lovely way to do it" much more often than it's "how the hell does this work?".
Holy cow. The online version is more responsive than most of the native apps on my phone.

“Dark energy” explained within general relativity
From the article: "But of these 92% – a total if 2,297 – were incorrect, with just 173 providing ‘true positive alerts’."

Those are frightening odds when you consider the impact such system could have on those "false positives", eg. possible detainment until your identity is confirmed.

The police may have had the resources to check each case in person during the trial but you can imagine what could happen once there is a push for more wide adoption of these systems as a way to save on police resources.

I would also love to see the proportion of people with dark skin tones who were flagged as false positives.

Then what happens to the pictures of non-confirmed positives and negatives? Are they purged from the system automatically or are they kept around for a while? What recourse have the false-positive to not be harassed in the future?

Let's face it, this genie is not meant to stay in the bottle and it's a policing dream to be able to automatically identify potential undesirables, wherever they are. Why not at the entrance of banks and other sensitive places? Like sports clubs and parks and swimming pools. At every corner of the streets maybe?

> If anything, I think the most reasonable concern is that we won't change enough. The police violence and accountability problem is very real and very serious.

That’s reasonable, but there is also another possibility: we’ll make changes in form but not substance. There are attempts underway to rename the high school I attended (named after Thomas Jefferson). Those efforts arose as a result of the fact that this year no African Americans were admitted in a class of about 450. At the moment it seems like changing the name is a lot more likely than changing admissions or recruiting policies.

Oh I know and accept that, it’s just always a little funny to see that much of a difference in size.

I use Photoshop every day, and I know that features added since version 3 that I use take up size:

* Layer styles

* Adjustment layers

* Smart objects

* Camera RAW

* Machine learning selection tools

* Generator for assets

So they have added real, valuable features for me. And I don’t particularly care about application size. Just funny to think you couldn’t even fit Photoshop on a CD at this point.

Is Your Company Supporting Diversity and Inclusion Movements?
I have multiple juniors but you just described my life and it makes me want to literally scream.
I am an outside too. I have a disability. For a long time, I felt like you describe, like the world is discriminating against me when it comes to dating (and a lot of other things).
Regarding dating I am pretty sure I was wrong.
It is not called discrimation, rather, it is called personal preference.
You can't force other people to choose you by claiming they are discriminating against you. That train of thought simply doesn't work.
Iterating over an Enum in C#
Thanks for sharing. This looks interesting, and I might end up using it in the future. (Right now I'm holing up due to the pandemic, and not venturing out; later, I plan to get on the various online dating apps that are out there.)

Some feedback:

1. When I click "Get Started", I'm presented with bright blue "Sign up with Facebook" and "Sign up with LinkedIn" buttons, and a small faint "Sign up with email" which I can barely read. Why is this?

I feel like Facebook is selling everything I do to the Russians. Or... something. :) In any case I don't trust social login, and by extension I tend not to trust websites which push me to social login.

2. Out of curiosity I created an account, didn't upload any photos, but started rating other people. Immediately afterwards, I'd love to see how others rated the same photos. I'd learn something interesting about how people present themselves.

3. After rating 20 or so photos I got accused of "poor vote quality", with "Our AI has detected randomness or patterns in your votes." Ummm... huh? By definition, any data will always either be random or have patterns. Anyway, I got chided for doing something-or-other wrong, with a request to vote better (how?).

I recognize there's a problem here -- you don't want people to just give everyone top ratings on everything, because they just want to increase their own credits. Nevertheless, at this point I got discouraged and stopped.

Looks like a cool idea! Good luck with it.
Great news! I was genuinely baffled when they shut it down. Easily one of the best and most influential websites of its time. In terms of content it was on a par with HN, Slashdot and Reddit, with a slight bias towards design.
That is correct. Wen I am wrote about "communication overhead" I meant having to talk to other teams to get the work done. Talking within the team (including PM, stakeholders etc.) is, IMO, desirable to set the overall team vision and to keep everyone on the same page.

I feel that once two teams, no matter how closely related, get the feeling of two different "mandates" (often personified by two managers, sometimes not), it becomes very expensive to keep them aligned. It is probably faster(wrt achieving the end goal) to go with fewer people in one team.

The thing about x64 is that it's really complex instruction decoding system is unavoidable overhead. Especially since every processor translates the x64 instructions into processor-specific micro-instructions. And then those are run by the processor.

It seems to me that a simpler instruction set that occurs much less overhead than the above will simply have a higher performance ceiling. The only advantage I see in x64 is that the complex instructions are a form of 'compression' for the micro-instructions. Maaaaybe the resultant bandwidth reduction in reading isntructions is worth the performance overhead of x64 instruction decoding.
The reason why I say that it was an effective filter was that the majority of people flat out FAILED the coding challenge. We only send out the coding challenge to people who where successful in the first interview and still most people failed the coding challenge.

I am very sure that a random selection, even after the first interview, would have been disastrous.

Result is that we have not fired anyone for performance reasons since we established this hiring process. Which I would say is a success.

Here is the thing: We cant just over hire like you suggested. That would just waste money and as a startup we don't have much of that to waste. Also I think it would be incredibly shitty for us to over hire just to fire people a short time later. The majority of people would have to leave jobs and/or immigrate to this country. Hiring such a person when you are not 100% sure you want to work with them is fairly immoral.
Glad you are feeling better. Out of curiosity, what would be the reason for an employer suing you, assuming you behave with integrity? Did you sign a paper saying you were going to stay N years or deliver X, Y and Z? Never heard of that before.
> Car gets stolen: often the case is solved, license plates help, etc.pp

Are you sure stolen car is "often" found? Here in Czechia they find like 20% stolen cars, bikes will be worse but not that much worse since 20 is already quite close to 0 anyway.
> That sounds like a No True Scotsman fallacy. "It's not voluntary? By jove, then it's not capitalism!"

The Wikipedia article you link to contradicts your premise:

> Capitalism is an economic system based on the private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.[1][2][3][4] Central characteristics of capitalism include private property and the recognition of property rights, capital accumulation, wage labor, voluntary exchange, a price system and competitive markets

It’s one thing to complain about imperfect implementations of capitalism. For example, observing that economic duress makes some labor transactions only nominally voluntary. But voluntary exchange is a definitional aspect of capitalism. It’s the underlying assumption behind much of the economic theory of capitalism. Criticizing capitalism by pointing to mercantilism and slavery—which are based on precisely the opposite of voluntary exchange—is nothing more than a rhetorical slight of hand.
Ex-yahoo here, thought I would add my 2 cents. Yahoo under Jerry and Filo (love them both, this is not personal) had a twin culture of niceness and bureaucracy which killed us. Here are an example of each:

1. Niceness - a coworker decided to just randomly not show up for work (not WFH, just disappear occasionally). I took it to management, and was told we don’t want to hurt his feelings.

2. Bureaucracy - I left yahoo to go to Facebook. At Facebook, if you needed a server, you would go to an internal tool, slide a slider and click a button. At Yahoo, you had to take a proposal to a committee led by a cofounder, and then be repeatedly shot down until you finally persevered.
Sorry - my mistake. I was going off memory.

I will be the dissenting voice and say I prefer MIPS.

Like the Wintel (Windows/Intel) monoculture, ARM brings the GoogleArm monoculture. The Apple/Arm monoculture that some people seem to hope for would be no different: heavily restricted, with fewer possibilities for free software.

MIPS64 offer us a good royaltie-free alternative, to be independent of the western companies (UK/US based)

If Nvidia gets ARM, I fully expect the same shenanigans Intel pulled on X86.

So I hope a third party alternative (MIPS, Sparc, anything) will be there, hopefully with a major fab like Samsung behind it.
I still haven't found something that is quite as good as delicious was for finding other 'curators' with similar tastes (and then being able to filter what they curated by tag, iirc).
No surprise, TBH. For thousands of years prehistoric humans didn't eat similarly sized meals N times a day every day. They ate whenever and whatever they could hunt/catch. Which means huge meals after days/weeks of hunger only to have days/weeks of hunger again. No wonder our bodies are well adapted to such irregularities.
Some believe it is better to be poor but getting richer, than to be rich but getting poorer.
> but Verizon was the worst and basically took a company on the road to destruction and stomped on the accelerator.

Verizon was and still is very scary. Whether or not they are incompetent, companies that came from the mother bell, att, Verizon, CenturyLink, ... And all major ISPs are scary.

Verizon's supercookie thing was revealed shortly before it's acquisition of Yahoo! And Aol. If Oath/Verizon Media succeeds as a major online destination, they could have more data than Google, no? I mean it is a data hoarders dream. Own the pipe end to end?

» This is a direct result of the internet in general. With lower publication costs you get more publishers which means more supply of ad space which means ad spend that used to go to journalism now goes to Instagram "influencers" and lolcats. Which would be just as true without any of the tracking.

I read something either published by Google or about Google that basically said that publishers in average can expect to see twice the revenue with targeting than without which made me think if that's all then we should get rid of tracking and figure out how to live on half the money.

> If your users have the ability to actively choose what version of your software they're using, it works.

I don't think SemVer is about choosing which version to use; it's about being able to plan the impact of upgrades. So the only requirement really is for your users to be able to actively choose when to upgrade.

Which does still mean that breaking your API should be avoided: all a major version release does is communicating to your users that it is likely to be more work than a non-major upgrade, not actually lessen the work.

See also https://vincenttunru.com/semver-explained

I also don't buy this:

> Semver throws a complexity wrench in what would otherwise be straight-forward automated releases.

SemVer is part of proper communication with your users. So is a proper changelog that explains how a release will impact them. If you have a properly updated changelog, defining the scope of the version upgrade is trivial; if not, you have the task of updating the changelog as a wrench in your release anyway.
House Judiciary: Examining the Dominance of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, and Google
That is well put, and I'm going steal some of those words in the follow-up I'm writing. I essentially feel that teams should grow when tech and process initiatives have led to creation of a whole new problem space that can be explored independently.

Consciously applying Conway's to identify communication boundaries sounds like a good way to get there.
For the layperson, what is so special about ARM chip designs? Are they much more efficient in compute achieved per clock cycle or something?

Or as the author alludes to, have less power consuming non-useful overhead processes running in the background? Is it the equivalent of pipeline length that Apple pointed out when making the Intel transition back in the 2000s? (the "megahertz myth"?)
> I really struggle to see any meaningful downside in using semver, even if you don't do it semantically,

It erodes the social contract of semver.

Without a common understanding and trust of semver you lose the ability to have an educated guess on whether 2.4.3->2.5.0 is an API-breaking change. Naturally, you cannot truly rely on this anyway (and dependency versions updates need to be tested), but being able to have a general idea about your dependencies' API breakage at a glance is a great help.

This becomes even more important in the case of transitive depdencies: something that might be drive-by bumped by your direct dependency (satisfied by the fact that it's only a minor release bump and _their_ use doesn't break) might actually cause your direct use of that transitive dependency to break.
Indeed you are allowed to come to your own conclusions. I object to this statement.

>Fusion is an example of sunk cost thinking. The only reason we're working on it is because we had been.

This is putting forward the opinions of others. The premise is the people who stay in the field lacked some form of awareness of your arguments. They are aware and they disagree. You can’t assume your argument is accepted in the argument.
Yeah exactly. All <1.0 indicates is "we're not really doing SemVer yet, but intend to do so at some point in the future, probably maybe".
