I mean that's counting on a lot of stuff to happen. Emergency contacts often don't get notified. A car crash that gives you the TBI breaks your phone, or they extract you from the car and your wallet/phone are left in the car and they don't even know your identity on admission until they get the license plate lookup. But if your kidnap risk is high and your risk of exposing the data is low, it's fine I guess. For example I don't have anything to lose from the publication of my hard drive (my main computer security threat would be keylogging my banking passwords etc.) and many others are in that position.
that's just plain wrong. if you even used tiktok, you'll understand how truly frighteningly powerful their algorithm is at finding exactly the kind of content you want to watch. i was never the kind of person to scroll my phone right before sleeping, but somehow i found myself doing that these days on tiktok, mindlessly just swiping up over and over again, not able to stop because almost every video seems to appeal precisely to my taste, even in the weird humor stuff.
Man, this will put a lot of us in a quandary. Buy this knowing the Apple Silicon is coming down the pipe or wait it out. I am disappointed no obvious changes to cooling have been made.

I misworded my point on that bit, I more meant I'd rather take a full-beam to the face when I'm on the pavement if it means the driver is aware of the hazards around them.

Occasionally (and in my experience it is only a handful of poor actors compared with the number of cars on the road), I'd take getting intense glare as a pedestrian if it works in everyone's safety.

Appreciate it's a different call for cyclists etc, but as a pedestrian I'd welcome the trade off more than drivers not using their full beams when they deem it neccessary.

This is a standard resume-farming strategy that dev shops often use. They don't actually have a current opening but are hedging their bets for when a need comes up. In the meantime, you get to fill out a long application and do a take-home test! Fun right?

If you see the same company post the same opening month after month, that's what they are doing.

As someone that has an active app still written in Django 1.6. The larger my project and more complicate the more I wanted to ditch the model/view/template separation. And attach methods to the model so that it can be called from everywhere, returning html code in a string directly.

Other times, I wished Django had something analogous to a component, where everything is just encapsulated in a single file. I don't want to separate javascript/html/css view/template. I want a single file I need to update and an easy way to call to render.

The template system is also difficult to use, if you get complicated scenarios.

I needed to show event details in a modal if that was the user preference. But the page could also be embedded.
This lead to me having to render differently depending on the device, whether it was embedded and if it was a popup or not. This lead to an explosion of possibilities, a total 2x2x2 = 8 different views for the same data in the same template.

The most practical way was with if / then statements but that still lead to me repeating html code. And being difficult to reason about and test.

I also got into situation where the template wasn't parsed and updated. Probably because of too many includes or inheritance in the template. For example, I wanted to write a custom css file that would use google fonts that the user selected in the UI. The only way I found to work was to bypass the template and write a function in the view that would render_to_string the css file.

Linux fans have to come to grips that its place on Android and ChromeOS is only a convenience for a POSIX like kernel.
>ARM (excuse me for not using the cringey term Apple Silicon).

That makes less sense, though. Apple isn't using Arm's cpu architecture, just the ISC.

Apple is switching from Intel chips with x86 to Apple chips with ARM. You should, when comparing, use one pair or the other.

From x86 to arm

Seat belt laws should not be on the books. Yes you should wear it, but the government should not be allowed to make rules that only protect you - so many other draconian rules would disappear if they could only outlaw things that show clear danger to third-parties.

It's one study that says that one font (not the same one) didn't appreciably help a handful of kids with and without dyslexia. It's interesting, but not enough to make any kind of generalization. Heck, without being independently reproduced, it's not enough to make its own claims.

The study used word lists vs. prose. I'm no expert, but that limits a reader's abilities for pattern recognition. Also, the age and reading experience of the reader may have bearing on the potential benefits. This just looked at children (otherwise unspecified).

To me, the interesting finding there is that preference does not correlate to speed or accuracy for the given task. It might be that even kids just pick the one they think is prettier and that even with kids most folks "like" clean-lined sans-serif.

I know design folks say that sans-serif are good for signs, titles, etc. (which would apply to bear words) and serif are better for prose. I have no idea if there's good data to back that up, though.

The terminology doesn’t matter. It’s used here because this is a very entrepreneurial audience and most people understand what is meant by it. I don’t think anyone means to imply that you need to treat your hobby/side projects like a business.
If I'm reading this correctly, the rate in question is an overnight rate, but quoted annually. A better way of looking at it is probably the overnight premium -- which looks like it's somewhere around a 1% cost to borrow money today to be paid back tomorrow.

EDIT: And this is specifically in the offshore market. The article doesn't mention high interest rates for Turkish banks to borrow Lira. This sounds like more of a matter of currency controls and market manipulation rather than an indicator of a currency collapse or the return of hyperinflation.

I saw "Intel" and I laughed out loud. Wow. The nerve Apple has trying to sell Intel-Macs after announcing the change to ARM!
Love the idea, I have thought about this before and the main issue is training my self to click an extension to check. If an icon flashed when there was a HN submission (ideally only if I didn't come directly from HN since I already know) it would be way more useful.

That said we all know the big issue with that is privacy. I don't want an extension sending every url I visit to any service (directly to the API or through some third-party). I've mulled over this issue before and I'm not sure how much space it would take up to store a list of urls that have been submitted to HN (Maybe keep 1 month plus all submissions that got over 100 upvotes or something) and check against that local list.

Then, and only then, when you get a match you can call out to the Algolia API to get the HN url (or store that as well depending on size).

I have no idea, off the top of my head, what the storage requirements for this look like but I don't think they would be huge. The other issue (which I want to look into the source to see how this handles it) is the stupid social/ads tracking params that are added to URLs. Maybe there is a good list of these that you can remove (from both the current URL and the HN submission) so you can see if it's the same base URL.
FWIW, I haven't noticed a significant change in flagging or downvoting comments, for the conversations I follow. However, there does seem to be a an uptick in flagging posts.

Thought experiment: how could that be abused? And what would we do about that?
I can see how this can be quite successful. On the one hand, private interconnect from your DC to a nearby Cloudflare PoP can be cheaper per Mbps or Gbps of bandwidth provisioned and hence can help reduce your overall network bandwidth costs. But on the other hand, you have to pay Cloudflare for their services and since they are bundling a lot of complex services they can justify charging a lot more than what a typical ISP's fees per Mbps of Internet would be.

If they succeed in attracting a lot customers to ride on their private network across any geography, over time their network will have the same jitter performance issues like Internet. If they grow too big, then they would have effectively privatized large parts of the Internet. That cannot be good for anyone.
Isn't Github basically the blueprint for running an infrastructure to manage a full remote coding workspace?

I'm actually surprised the mature way Microsoft handles the Github acquisition. It's not anything like that of what they did with Skype. What you are referring to a managerial nuances on a blueprint like this.

And it is not like Microsoft would have any problem to multiply these engineers salary by 10X because they still would not pay software engineering market rate in Seattle or another hub.
Apple only supported PPC for about 3 years after the Intel transition... what are you basing 5-6 years of support on? Apple hasn't made that promise.

And what user that is ok with a 6 year old computer is interested in spending several thousand on a new macbook that they're going to have to throw out in 3 years? The only user I can imagine that would be ok with the 16" macbook are the users that upgrade every 2-3 years... they can risk it and likely won't lose out on anything except maybe the resale value.

Ah, okay this is interesting. The entire notebook is one iframe, which lets you do more of the metaprogramming and sharing variables. Both printing (via console) and non-printing infinite loops crash the iframe until you close the page.

I'll have to look more into async stuff. Great eval article there. I've found these four lines to work for importing content[1]. I dove into realms[2] and the realms shim [3] a while ago after reading about Figma's engineering behind plugins [4] but I never figured out how I might use that for my system.

You might take a look at how the codemirror author built his book [5] and editor [6] in this repo [7]. He implements the loop detection I derided in my first comment. I shouldn't be so harsh, it's a good and simple idea. It's just not an answer, more of a hack. My interests align pretty well with the p5js editor audience[8], so some of the early issues there convey why the simple loop detection isn't ideal.

> Will macOS install on a non APFS volume though?

It depends on the macOS. Only Catalina and higher (macOS 10.15) require APFS. macOS 10.14 and Mac OS X 10.x may use HFS+. That is, though High Sierra and Mojave both "want" APFS, they may be coaxed (cloned) into booting on HFS+. [0]

My mom just got an android tablet. The material icons are extra cryptic.

Also, in some apps (looking at you, zoom), timed controls disappear way soon, before she can even orient herself and figure out what’s what.

It takes her 5 min to switch her camera on.

“Camera icon” means nothing because it’s too abstract. I say “square with a triangle next to it”.

The text which is sometimes available along icons is often tiny and next to impossible to read.

I’m wondering if in 20-30 years I will be struggling with interfaces streamlined for other generations.
That's fine from a theoretical standpoint, but the reality is far, far different. People in general do easy, token gestures. They're not following proper procedures for mask use.

It seems very important to Apple to get the T2 (similar to an iPhone 7 CPU) controller chip into all the Macs. But it seems unable to accomodate internal HDD or Fusion drives. And Most of the 21.5" models are bargain basement (as far as that goes for Apple) models. Fusion drives were an interesting digression, but obviously not the wave of da future.

This kind of whataboutism does nothing good for anyone who appreciates honest debate. It only helps further cement dishonest arguments. Yes, the U.S has its hands full of cloak and dagger blood from who knows how many regime changes it's been complicit in or a direct cause of (not to mention the deaths caused by its direct invasions), and Colombia has a long, sordid history of human rights abuses by all sides.

Despite these things, both of those countries are internally, practically far better places to live in than Venezuela for both economic reasons and in terms of individual/political freedom. Venezuela is all the opposite in so many more ways. What's more, it is distinctly a repressive state that does not at all allow free elections and whose executive government branch does everything possible, legally or not, to rig all state structures for its own perpetuation. Meanwhile, this same government's economic mismanagement has achieved catastrophic, humanitarian disaster depths of damage.

More basically, whatever the sins of the U.S or Colombia or whichever other country you pick, not one of them excuses any aspect of what the Chavez/Maduro governments have done to their own country.
>("game programming" and "embedded development" aren't limited to Windows-only stacks

If you're not developing a mobile or console game, windows is 95%+ of your market. At some point your going to need to do some development/QA on windows regardless of what hoops you're willing to jump through to develop on Linux.

>"embedded development"

There is a plenty of proprietary windows only software for which there is no viable alternative on Linux. And there are a lot of embedded systems out there in the world running on Windows. Sure if you are a one man shop, you can choose your own stack, and Linux support is one of your top priorities, then you don't need Windows. But many people in the embedded world are on Windows whether they like it or not.

>My point is, people who say their work is only doable on Windows tend to just be scared to move away from the specific tools they know.

And people who say "just use X on Linux instead of Y on Windows or Z on OS X" tend to overestimate the Linux alternative because they don't use it professionally. There are many professional software tools that do not have viable alternatives on Linux, and many more for which the Windows alternative is just much better than their what's available on Linux.
You sound super smart and down to earth.
We have a number of tools at our disposal as drivers to minimise bad situations. Personally I think overuse of high-beams is more valid than under-use in quite a number of circumstances (and exceptionally bad in others).

Your comment implied that drivers who instinctively switch on their high beams to get a sense of a situation where they need more visual input are "jackwads" which I tried to highlight isn't the reason they're doing it.

Wanting to see more when you're driving a massive piece of machinery at decent speeds isn't something that makes you an outright asshole.
MacBooks and iMacs are not direct competitors - one is a laptop, the other is a desktop computer. You can have up to 128 GB of RAM, 8 TB of SSD, and a beefy GPU in an iMac, something I bet won't be available on ARM for some time.
> Ever noticed how long it takes to kill an app and restart it? Ever notice how much more often you have to do that, even on a 5-month old flagship phone?

Is this an android problem? I don't really ever have to close apps unless the app itself gets stuck into a broken state and forcing close to restart can correct the issue.
