This is a concern I've had.

If I told one of my coworkers that I use `pass` [0] to keep my passwords encrypted and synced into an online git repository, they would know what that means. My wife would have no idea.

So then it's not just a matter of "here are the relevant credentials", it's also "Here are the relevant technologies and X would know how to piece it all together"

But then at the same time, maybe it just doesn't really matter and I should just get a safe deposit box at the bank and put everything relevant in there in paper form.

Right, where you could send the worker a terminate signal if some conditions were met like time or no response or too many responses...

And that drawback obsoletes the strategy it seems, unfortunately.

It's an interesting problem, how to provide full access and control as well as non-corruptible recovery systems.

One of the biggest problems I consistently run into is that printing to the screen is a slow operation, every learns this day one of any graphics work, but things like console.log or Node.appendChild are the primary way to destroy someone's computer for a short period of time because orders of magnitude more operations are queued up before they can complete. I wonder if painting operations could be limited to some max number per second to prevent that orders of magnitude queue problem. And, more importantly, how do you code that limit?
Interesting choice of words. Very carefully says nothing about retiring - it seems like he was simply demoted and now just advising Tim Cook.
If Apple sold a decent £1000 machine then they wouldn't sell £1800 machines.
Whelp that's my signal to get back to work.
Yep - to the executives, saving a couple of (theoretical) hours of development work is worth paying a few extra seconds per page load. Of course, the customers hate it, but the customers can't go anywhere else, because the executives everywhere else are looking for ways to trade product quality for (imaginary) time to market.
They dropped down to less than that in the middle, almost completely negating their benefit since everything something you needed would always end up on the slow spinny drive :/
I'm also on a 27" 2012 iMac. Have 32gb inside. I've had the internal drive fail a few times, once under warranty - another time due to age. I'm about to transition to an external SSD as my boot drive since the SSD part of the fusion drive is on its last legs, and keep the internal 6tb HDD for storage. When Apple silicon rolls around, I'm planning to update. Apart from the drives, the machine has been a total rock. No performance issues, apart from when the drives had their issues, but hard to complain this deep into its lifespan.
i want to point out that the way the addresses in the image of the mail is hidden appears to be easily recoverable even with plain eyes.

Can we change this submission to that?
Implicitly TV users are also prohibited from making their own technical decisions. I claim this is because the TV predates the era of open computing platforms like Unix.
Which is riddiculous, because if they can fit good front camera in iPhone they should be able to do that in the much bigger device, like laptop, right?
it's a multiplayer video game so assume users will attempt to subvert it by any means possible.
That is not my argument at all. My argument is not, ignore the things you disagree with. It's: if you want to change them, that cannot be achieved just by denying business with them and with a 'my way or the highway' attitude. Instead, dialog and understanding yield better results. And you're not doing that.

You also state a number of things that I think are not as factual as you believe. I do not know whether you are interested in challenging those believes, so I will keep my mouth shut about them unless you indicate you are willing to.

>The USA had an earlier electronic system well established by the time chip and pin was available.

So did many other places.

> I think the USA has been far more innovative with credit cards that give rewards.

US credit card schemes charge merchants massively more, so yes, these fees can then be used to give "rewards". EU cards have lower rewards because the fees are limited by law.

It's not something to be proud of. You're paying higher prices as a result.
How about without social media or platforms in general?
what were the thermals like?
The Air series we’re solid machines for a good while until they stopped updating them. It was such a good price/performance/portability balance that I didn’t miss having a Pro machine for a few years there, even doing relatively heavy tasks like photo editing and development.
Schools like buying Macs, and they don't particularly care about performance. The low-end iMac has always been a top seller to lower education because a kid isn't going to complain that their computer takes four minutes to boot.
They look pretty cool!

For me the initial load of the site is really slow and animation is like 5FPS. Also half of the animations are not loading, but it could just be the HN traffic.
I agree, it's very much a work that is done together. If EU considers the deal hurt competition, then Google might still be able to buy Fitbit if they take measures that ensure competition is still healthy, so very good if one admits to that and are eager to find a way forward rather than the classic Uber-response "Everyone but us are stupid, it's our way or the highway"
I invented the translucent blurred window effect. It first shipped in Mac IE 5.0 in April 2000 (the non-Carbon version only), for the autocomplete window, and later that year for the web page context menu (first in the special MacHack version).

The effect doesn't have to be expensive, and my original implementation was fast on millenium era machines.
The goal is preserve the context of the background, while keeping foreground data readable, in a way that is natural to our human visual system. If you are doing it properly you also shift the brightness values into a more limited range to diminish the contrast and keep the tonal values away from the chosen foreground text color (this is also cheap). Done properly it is visually pleasing with virtually no effect on readability.

People have coded some boneheaded imitations along the way though. They don't add the blur, or they don't adjust the brightness curve, or they make the radius much too big, or they compute some over exact Gaussian blur that is too slow.

It's the nature of blur that it doesn't have to be exact to be visually pleasing and convincing.

I see what you did there :D
Apple’s pricing makes sense when you realise they’re just a consumer electronics company masquerading as a luxury brand.

Most people can afford to buy an iPhone of some kind. $1000 monitor stands and expensive iMacs is what makes their brand seem luxury.
Accuweather isn't too bad.
The chip also contains a bunch of coprocessors which have little or nothing to do with ARM, e. g. the GPU.
That’s one more reason to call the chips Apple chips, not ARM chips.
Not presumably, definately, at least in benchmarks. Max transfer rates on a current model gen4 ssd can reach upwards of 5GB/second, but top-end gen3 model is faster at other things. The Samsung 970 pro is still the fastest nvme consumer disk in almost all categories, besides max transfer rate, due to its usage of 100% mlc, instead of qlc & mlc cache.

Schools don't need Macs... it would be the other way around iMacs need schools.
Facebook did this to me as well. I provided a number long ago after they requested it under the premise of security (and it was used for that, as I recall), but then they started texting me about all the people I know posting stuff after I hadn't logged on for many months. I promptly blocked the number.
There are people, who require a new machine now, so it is good that they get an up to date offering. Also, there are people, who need x86 compatibility when running virtual machines. Also, as long as Apple expects developers to support x86 Macs, they need to offer x86-based machines for those developers.
So you agree you are spreading FUD then.

1. There is no law on the horizon that will require any accessibility for general purpose commercial apps.

2. Further, one can add accessibility features on Godot or other engines if needed. No technical limitation whatsoever.

3. If such laws came to be in a decade or two, engines and frameworks of all kinds will most likely support those features on their own.

4. The only case you can make against Godot is that someone has a company which hires people; and finds a blind person that is as productive as a non-blind to the point they are the best candidate for the job; and the company is in a country with such laws; and someone is an asshole that does not want to hire such person even if they are the best; and the position requires to use Godot tools; and the tools are non-accessible to begin with; and that someone does not want to spend the money to make them accesible; and the rejected candidate sues you and wins the case.

No business will even think about such an scenario. In an ideal world, they would. In the real world, they don't. And I am siding with the blind person in such a case and hoping such a company is busted in that case. But the case is extremely rare.

Do you think it's fair that people that do twice the work are paid half as much just because they're younger?

In the case I know (nurses), it's about a nurse taking care of twice as many patients, and usually better. Not trying to change things, just doing their job.

What I can tell you is that those people doing more either quit or just give up and stop caring.

For what is worth my experience is mainly with the private sector. It's just that usually they are a bit more willing to sack people.
Fellow aka Apple Hall of Fame.
It's also very possible for existing employees to require accessibility as time goes on. Either old age or an accident can leave them less able than before.
The have to do that in order to offer a machine that has a low price with their 40+% margin.

Apple only does value-based pricing. They'd charge you a percentage of your income if they could figure out how.
That is true for legacy, but for me not true for the Tesla UI.

I quite enjoyed CarPlay in my Honda, it solved a huge hole. But I really don't find that same hole. The only apps I really used was maps, and podcast app. I have both in the tesla info-tainment section.

Would be cool if they opened the market for third party apps, could be handy for some stuff... perhaps someday?
Yeah, entry level should be a 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM for any "premium" desktop in 2020. I'm sure some bean counter at Apple has calculated that arranging the options in this way makes more money for Apple per unit, but I can't tell you how many times I have looked at an iMac or Mac Mini and thought "that's a pretty good price", then add the correct amount of memory and disk capacity and noped right out of their website.
> `drop(&mut self)` means, strictly going by the types I could call drop twice!

Wouldn't calling a destructor on an object twice will also compile in C++? I don't really see this as an issue in either language; the solution is "don't ever call `drop`/destructors manually"
I actually do heavy data processing but not every day.

It can be hundreds of RAW images (50MB/image) or the simulation software I'm working on which can generate GBs of output in 3 seconds if I leave the wrong flags on.

In my other workstation I can actually see the big jumps of write accumulation when I do these tasks via SMART (I log the data periodically).

So mine was a honest question rather than covert fanboyism.
I certainly saw a lot of people writing things like "they only succeeded because they welded people into their apartment buildings". I've also read that that only happened one time and was strongly criticized within China but oh well.
Imperative functional programming (1992) [pdf]
The first number after the i# is the generation. i5-5350 is fifth generation, i3-9350k is ninth generation.

That said, the difference between generations is pretty minimal thanks to Intel's huge process blunder last decade.

If you want to know which chip is actually faster for your workload that turns out to be a fairly difficult question to answer. A lot depends on what you're trying to accomplish and how your code is built.

> Remember when channel changes on TVs were instantaneous?

I think about this every time I use the Hulu "Guide" on my Fire TV. It's extremely slow and cumbersome.

I remember using the early digital cable boxes in like 2005 which were much more responsive, and honestly, the UI was much better too.
High quality cameras have been around since ~2015 even on midrange smartphones. Why can't laptops get one of those? Is there a supply issue?
Existing Mac software should "just work" due to Rosetta.
I don’t know if they would actually do it, but that would be an awesome way to launch: one category-defining device in terms of portibility and performance, and one super high end device to create a halo effect around the new processors
Did you move to something or just stopped tracking?

I like the idea of tracking stuff for myself, but it doesn't seem possible without evil cloud at the moment. Maybe with apple watch?
5700 XT is a very high end GPU, especially the 16GB option (can you even buy a 5700 XT with16GB for PC? I can't find any in the local price aggregator, all of them are 8GB). It isn't the fastest GPU you can buy, but it is still a high end one.

If anything, this is the first time i see an iMac which has a good GPU. Though considering iMac's form factor and my experience of having a PC with a 5700XT i wonder about thermals.

In any case, it does not help paranoid people like me, who are always reluctant to share a phone number as a recovery method (I use self-hosted email, it's the most reliable recovery method, but I understand it's not an option for most people).

While I wouldn't phrase it that way, the so-called wet markets where dozens of live animals are sold in unsanitary conditions are a problem. Western nations do have a variety of health/hygiene laws that effectively make such markets illegal. They are seen as a primitive/backwards/dangerous throwback to something rightly done away with long ago.
carbon-neutral Jet A1 would be very nice, but so far the only case of it being used is the newest USN supercarrier, which can throw efficiency to the trash and has immense amounts of "extra power" from reactors that it can throw at it.

I wouldn't mind a future where we use syntin-based fuels or similar for aviation and push for max renewables and nuclear for power elsewhere.

Has anyone said definitively that it wouldn't be open-source in the future? I know sometimes this is due to things like joint or contract development where the lawyers need to hash out the rights first.
Then you are correct in your original comment: that isn’t “acting like a monopoly”. There might be a different term for it, but “monopoly” ain’t it.
To counter the dominance of "Big Tech", the governments should seriously start breaking chunks out of them. For many giants, there are some obvious break-up ideas:

1. Amazon: AWS, Hardware/Alexa and Retail. Ads may belong to Retail or may be a separate entity.

2. Google: (Apart from all the non-Google Alphabet companies which are already separate) YouTube, GCP/Apps, Hardware, Search (Web, Image, Maps, etc). Ads should be split between YT and Search.

3. Facebook: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, VR. Ads can be split (or copied) to each of the first 3.

4. Microsoft: Windows, Azure/Office, Gaming, Bing / Ads, LinkedIn.

5. Apple: While hard to disentangle, Apple's control over App store and iOS (30% cut, forbidding competing browsers etc) should be weakened.

I am willing to bet my personal money that such break-up or weakening of Big Tech will generate far more value in the tech sector in long run (say by buying NASDAQ and holding it for the next 10 years).

Most commercial aviation doesn't use leaded fuel because it uses Jet-A1 instead of AVGAS 100LL.

Replacements for currently used anti-knocking agents are searched for, but less so specifically because most commercial use involves Jet-A1, and low-end general aviation uses MOGAS where possible due to general lower prices (though those tend to vary - sometimes AVGAS 100LL can be wildly cheaper than MOGAS)

I claim it's because DRM, since if it wasn't for DRM wanting control of the whole reception to display path to be protected, you could just stick an open computing device in between the streaming signal and the display device, and make your own technical choices.

You still can, AFAIK, for content that doesn't require HDCP.

CDW will happily sell you once license of LTSC and 4 of the cheapest SKU in the catalog (I don't know what that is, currently-- in the past it has been stuff like $5 DVD playback licenses) to get you over the minimum purchase qty.
The cloud vendors (at least the ones I checked) have SKUs with fairly limited downclocking, but more importantly the license based downclocking is per-core. So as long as you get at least a core to yourself, the noisy neighbor problem is reduced in that you affect your own CPU speed only.

For more fine-grained sharing, sure, if the key before you was running AVX-512 you'll get a lower frequency for the initial part of your timeslice, but it should pop back to full speed in under 1 ms.
