Apple’s Grand Central Dispatch concurrency library has dispatch_once [0], which does something similar. It relies on non-standard “block” extensions to C, which are a way of defining lambda functions, and in practice you only see it used in Apple platforms.

It’s amazing how many startup founders get caught up in the idea of looking like they’re moving fast at the expense of everything else.

Doing a phone screen on 20 people in a day would be a stretch, let alone full interviews. This sounds more like a hazing ritual than anything else.

Ironically, I know plenty of people who would have pseudo-succeeded at this task by pretending to have interviewed the 20 candidates but instead just hired their friends. These types of startups are magnets for people who can put on a good show while doing everything in their power to enrich their own careers.

There are too many good startups with genuine founders out there to waste your time on these hustle-and-grind founders.
>'Imagine what power they'll be able to pack into such a price once they apply Apple Silicon to the MBP. I'm thinking 128 or even 256 GB RAM ...'

I'm interested in why you think Apple will be able to build an integrated memory controller for a laptop that is capable or 128 Gigs or 256 Gig of RAM. Most laptops with Intel were stuck at 16 Gigs of RAM for years although more recently that has increased. My understanding about the reason for this is that these high capacity integrated memory controllers are very difficult to design. Is there something specific to ARM that would make iterating on these easier for Apple than it has been for Intel?
If you have an electric kettle, you can sidestep this problem -- add boiling water and keep the stovetop flame on low the whole time. Then it's just a matter of turning off the heat at 15 minutes and uncovering at 20.

I will admit, despite how trivial it may sound, that it is nice not having to worry about turning off the heat. It means you can walk away and get into some other task more deeply.

However, I don't think I'll ever buy another rice cooker, as a pressure cooker can do the same thing but is a more general tool.
Article title: Data isn't just being collected from your phone [...]

> this gives a big incentive to the app developers to offer a proper Mac version too

Maybe but I'm not totally convinced it's enough. For small apps which are only currently on iOS this might be interesting, but for the large pool of applications which currently target web, iOS and Android, doing extra work to support a mac branch of the application is still that: extra.

Those users are already supported by your web application, and even if it's relatively less work than creating a separate native mac application, adding a mac branch of your iOS app will still add effort and complexity to implement and maintain. And that would be to serve what's probably a tiny minority of your active users.

> why are there Apple stores in China?

It's a known fact that Apple cooperates, apparently enough to be satisfactory for the CCP.

Short personal anecdote if you don't believe they vigilantly ban anything they don't like: My mom is Chinese and Buddhist. Her tiny Buddhist organization was recently told they would have to cease operations. All they were doing was meditating and praying together in livestreams. They also had online lessons with Buddhist monks and stuff like that. It's all harmless stuff, and their page had like 5K likes.

You would think something tiny like that might fly under the radar in a country with 1.3B people.

It doesn't.

> It seems like a rationalization to always see ourselves as the "good guys" no matter what. Every empire ever did.

I'm not saying we're always the good guys no matter what. There's enough to criticise in our society. But no matter how much room for improvement we have, you cannot seriously contend that it's even a question whether democracies like ours are superior compared to totalitarian regimes like that of China. That question was answered over and over throughout recent history, and shouldn't ever have been brought to the table in the first place.

> I can see the Chinese rationalizing their bans as defending their sovereignty against Western dominance

That's not a rationalization, that's literally just what they're doing. And we're also doing the same by banning TikTok. But that's not the point, defending your sovereignty isn't inherently bad. The point is that it's only bad if bad regimes do it.
I feel like this is the weakest take on the argument.

They want google to pay for re-hosting /lifting any content (previews, headlines, etc.). Linking is just caught in the crossfire, if it's even mentioned.

If we are being honest, the majority of people read headlines and don't bother with more than the first paragraph or summary of the article. This is all displayed on Google properties where users don't even leave the Google infrastructure.

Is Google providing a service? Definitely. Does online news depend on Google? Definitely. Is Google's relationship with them abusive? Definitely.

On the other hand, soon space will be so accessible that any serious astronomer will be able to deploy a cubesat to assist in imaging and observation.

But I agree that this is an interesting dilemma. Perhaps the low earth orbit satellites should be limited to certain bands around the globe (certain coverage regions in the case of Starlink), so that there remain pristine skies in more remote areas: internationally agreed upon "Natural Sky Preserves" or something of that nature.
No, it can't. China is an export economy that depends on foreign countries (primarily the US) buying its goods. Trade regulations hurt China more than they hurt the US by simple math. This fact is upheld by a review of China's pre-COVID GDP data.

Yep, looks about right. That benchmark is designed to maximize the decoder cost of the CPU, while effectively idling the rest of the CPU. On some of the architectures I worked on, with the thermals turned off, you could decap the part with decode. But you could also do that by jamming the x87 unit, issuing L0 prefetch, etc. The same is true on the ARM parts I work on. In practice, though, user code doesn’t do this. I’d be interested to see this when the larger L$ are lit—they stop at L2.

Also, mops aren’t “RISC”; they’re mops. The only part of the x86 parts I worked in that used a decode ISA was the network & DMA, which desugared down to x86i.

There have been performance improvements in Perl 5 over the last 5 years. Nothing dramatic like a JIT, but a collection of smaller improvements that add up to something significant.

I'm assuming that sort of thing will continue, but with less backporting to version 5. Jitting just the regex engine without compatibility problems is one potential thing that could happen. PCRE2 is pretty close to that now.
There’s every suggestion that Spotify are struggling to defend themselves against artists who demand bigger payments.

China is a hybrid. Their roots lay in communism, but thru also draw heavily from Confucianism when convenient. Related to the last point, they do not share the roots of western philosophy, but rather eastern which makes comparisons difficult. That said, they claim to be die hard communists with Chinese values, as they put it.

I find it interesting that if someone on the right calls themselves capitalists or whatever, that’s taken at face value, but if someone calls themselves communists but they have some accompanying unpleasant characteristics it automatically disqualifies them as being true communists.

Their economic system is state sponsored capitalism but their government and everything else is communist.

The modern form of power stemming from controlling a social media platform doesn't lie in completely blocking out inconvenient information (old-fashioned censoring) or spreading that one official truth (Volksempfänger-age propaganda), it's the power of subtly augmenting some groups of voices while giving others less exposure. It's mostly a destructive power because the most reliable way to use it is to blow up harmless disagreements into crippling internal conflicts - and all without anyone noticing that they are being played.

I loved BeOS, but there was an even more fundamental problem that put a limit on its days: A failure to anticipate coming need for home computers to become more secure. At the same time that Microsoft and Apple were both working frantically to ditch their old single-user desktop operating systems and replace them with, in effect, spruced up versions of existing server/workstation operating systems, Be was trying to launch a brand new OS on the dying model. Had they survived even a couple years longer, they would have had to reckon with that, and they simply didn't have the resources to navigate such a fundamental transition.

Displaying gobs of output in a terminal is pretty much the most useless benchmark you can do for a terminal emulator. You never watch output that goes by faster than you can read, unless you're actively watching movies through aalib or libcaca.

I would be happy to have a "framedrop" equivalent for terminals when this happens, as it's totally useless from my perspective.

Not to say that optimizing throughput it's useless (total time adds up over the course of a day), but latency and start-up time are really what matters in a terminal emulator.

It's also hard to measure correctly, because some terminal features such as output reflow and ligature support hide major spikes in latency that you only experience occasionally but can be incredibly annoying (say hi to all url regex matchers!).

alacritty felt absolutely abysmal in the latency department when I last tried it one year ago, which is even worse than most libvte based terminals.

kitty is much better, but it's not exactly a lightweight terminal. It still starts in no less than a full second compared to mere a tenth of a second of urxvt, xterm or mlterm. urxvt always felt more consistent to me, but all three outclass pretty much all other terminals I ever tried.

For those using a tiling window manager, the built-in tabbing and multi-window support is pretty much useless too. Having true-color support is probably the only big argument I can see, which is nice to have for inband images, but again.. something rarely used in practice.

Perhaps you can see why that makes your comments all the more baffling? It's understandable that you might view the network as a UI bottleneck since you were working on an application that relies maximally on low-latency networking, but you must realize how unusual that is, and how fast typical networking actually is in order to make your work possible at all. (and to the original point, how lame an excuse network latency is for those who can't manage to cobble together a fast implementation of a much, much simpler application)
