When you're a business, you can't make turn-on-a-dime decisions like that. You commit to business-equipment purchase/leasing/upgrade agreements with a particular OEM; who in turn usually commits (for economy-of-scale reasons) to one CPU supplier or the other. So, if you're stuck with an OEM who's in turn stuck with "the wrong" CPU supplier (right now Intel), that can make you cross, at the potential performance that's being left on the table.

But even for the individual, unless you're buying sealed non-upgradable appliance devices, you've still gotta consider the fact that in building a PC, you're choosing a motherboard socket, and thus potentially making it cheap to upgrade to later-gen CPUs that stay compatible with that socket.

In that mindset, it makes sense to be happy with the CPU maker you're "stuck with" for a while when they provide good, high-ROI upgrade options; and to be angry with them when they don't.

With views you can maintain backwards compatibility despite migrations happening. No need to change your front-end.

Best intro to functional programming imo.
My problem was people using ORM frameworks and having very little knowledge of the database they were using. Slow as molasses, difficult to figure out what is going on because of many layers of extra "stuff".

On the other hand, think about the improved cache footprint from using 2-byte object handles rather than full-size 8-byte pointers. If the "user code" keeps a lot of those handles in sequential structs, that is a huge win.

This is beside the point I was trying to make. The point is that Pure Rust > Rust + Non-Rust dependencies in the sense that it's easier to compile, cross compile, install, or deploy.

If it's pure rust, then I don't have to worry about dynamic or even static linking. I just compile the code for the target and I'm done. Cross compiling becomes simple. Installing becomes simple.

I'm repeating myself a bit here but just to clarify: there's no question that pure C is awesome for portability. And like with Rust it becomes less fun once dynamic linking gets involved.

Fortnite offers alternate direct payment without the “Apple Tax”
That’s the point right? It’s a direct swing at a topic Tim Sweeney has been very vocal about.
> Perhaps there's something unique about the German market? Is there anyone from Germany here who can shed light on this?

I'm from Germany (but not in the car industry in any way) and I think the main reason why they have sold so much cars is not because they are competitive, but because they have to. They have to sell the cars to fulfill whole-fleet emissions requirements, otherwise they'd be
punished by fines.

So they push the cars into the market at losses, but it's still cheaper for them than paying the fines.

> In view of the threat of fines being imposed on the EU for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, it is worthwhile for car manufacturers to sell electric cars at a loss (without covering all costs). Because electric cars reduce the average CO2 emissions of a vehicle fleet, manufacturers can sell many profitable cars with combustion engines with an optimized amount of electricity and still remain below the generally prescribed average of 95 grams of CO2 per kilometer, calculated Prof. Dr. Peter Hoberg from the University of Applied Sciences in Worms.

Tesla was significantly supply limited in Europe because of COVID-19. Traditionally the first month in a quarter is for European builds, so they can get on a boat and be delivered before the end of the quarter. Which is what happened in January. However, in April their factory was shut down. And because being profitable in Q2 was super important to Tesla because 4 consecutive quarters of profitability would allow them to join the S&P 500, the cars they manufactured in May & June were shipped in North America rather than to Europe.

Until Tesla becomes demand limited rather than supply limited, any analysis of any particular market is prone to error -- spikes in one direction or the other may be just due to shifting shipping choices.

So the drop may mean nothing, or it may be significant. I suspect the answer is somewhere in the middle.
I don't know of a single Free Software project that gets significant income from selling the software. Introducing the option of paying for Firefox would change nothing, as people would continue to download Firefox without paying, and Firefox would continue to auto-update itself without charge.

People are already able to donate to Mozilla (although not directly to Firefox), if that's what they want to do.

> I collectively paid a lot of money for boxed releases of Red Hat and SuSE back in the day, to support development.

Right, exactly. It's essentially an optional donation, and sadly, few people choose to make optional donations.

> I'm willing to pay for a supported, professional version

Charging for premium support is a different idea.

I'm not opposed to paid Free Software support, in principle I think it's a great idea, but I doubt it would generate much revenue.
I Offloaded My Anxiety to Trello
At this point though intel has slashed their price/core to be competitive if not better than threadripper. They don't have anything that compete in core count, but if you look at the 9980/10980 series with 18 cores, its very competitive on a price basis per core with the 24/32/64 core threadrippers. If you want max cores then you still need to go with threadripper but if 18 is enough, i don't get all the hate 10980 gets. There are certain linear algebra related workloads where the intels excel and why I would probably go with the 10980x were I to upgrade (which im probably not, 4 year old pc doing fine)
I don't see that happening. Apple needs to make money and they do so by having huge margins. They can certainly increase the CPU budget by taking out the Intel cut (though really they've just swapped that for the TSMC cut), but they're not going to chuck a $1000+ CPU in a ~$1200 laptop.

This may be my lack of knowledge in CPU manufacturing, but from what I understand larger dies get you more performance not more efficiency, so considering their inability to build adequate cooling solutions and fondness for reducing thickness even if they chucked a 32core bohemeth in there it won't be running very fast.

On top of that, since AMD are using the same nodes I don't really see how they wouldn't be able to compete. Especially considering Apple probably won't be selling their CPUs separately, leaving out large parts of the market.

Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing? It would be great for both businesses and consumers. (although it would depend on how successfully it was executed)

And it would be a benefit to society if gas was priced higher rather than subsidized by junk food and the demographics more prone to buying it. Especially due to a certain something called climate change, and how cheaper gas helps suvs and other low mileage cars.

Nah. Relying on the stabber's self attestation "oh I felt really threatened" is always stupid. That's how you get situations like Trayvon Martin.

There and back again: the story of renaming ConvertKit
This puts Apple in a very tough spot. Last week, Tim Cook was questioned in an antitrust hearing re: Apple's anticompetitive practices (along with Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sundar Pichai). The spotlight is already pointing right at them, so any move they make here is going to be noticed by lawmakers.

If they remove Fortnite from the App Store, Apple will probably be seen as the bad guy. After all, Epic is not taking anything off the top here; they make the same amount of money whether consumers choose to purchase through the App Store or through Epic's direct payment system.

If they keep Fortnite on the App Store, they're going to need to make a rule change to allow alternative payment methods within apps. One of Apple's main defenses during antitrust hearings was that App Review applies rules fairly and consistently. If they don't change the rules, that argument falls dead in the water.

Epic leadership knows that this is going to cause a firestorm. I'm happy that a large company with market power decided this was the right time to do this. I doubt Apple and Epic worked together on this; there's no way that this doesn't completely embarrass Apple and its App Store policies.

It will be exciting to see how this plays out, but my bet is that this is going to lead to a huge win for Apple developers.
One pain point I have is that functions as a service systems like Lambda have an special event format - this is sorted out by tools like Up which will install a small adapter and let you run your normal Http server in lambda. https://apex.sh/docs/up/

Besides this, the other service I like is Fly https://fly.io/ with lets me submit a container and runs that all over the world where necessary. Google Cloud Run does something similar, but its region locked. Fly is like global lambda for containers.

Between these tools and services, I’ve stopped caring about servers completely. Never need to install a package or use ssh again. I either submit just the app executable to lambda using Up (for light HTTP APIs) or send a container to Fly (for heavy servers, TCP, web sockets) and that’s it.
I'm curious how they even got this update to their app through the review process. Apple never would have allowed it per the app store rules. I suppose they are using some dynamic tech to push updates out to a build that already cleared the review process?
Finland has roughly similar GDP per capita as Germany so I would hazard reasons there are similar to here.

What you point out is correct if Tesla is a luxury brand. But there is talks how Tesla will become bigger than Toyota or whatnot, which is something that a purely luxury brand cannot do.

The thing is that a normal person simply cannot afford a Tesla. But they can afford an EV third of the price.

In Finland average gross salary is ~3500€/month which is maybe 2500€/month net. That comes as 30000€ per year net of actual usable money. Renault Zoe costs around 30000€ here brand new. So someone with average salary can reasonably have a used Zoe.

Brand new Model S is something like 90000€ here. Only someone in top 2% or so can afford these cars. It’s purely a luxury product.

Tesla might remain popular with wealthy but it simply cannot take over the mass market due to costs.
single desktop app probably doesn't but you don't run just a single one. Chrome, IDE, database server, db client, web server, VMs, slack/teams/gitter, email client. Try provisioning a VM with single core and running them all at once inside...

This doesn't seem to apply to the CPU industry, where Intel has been charging these high prices for the enthusiast products and then not driving innovation in the midrange, due to having a monopoly position partly brought about by previous anticompetitive behaviour on their part. Is that similar to the bicycle industry?
I’m sure there is disagreement among some doctors over this, but ADHD in the current medical literature is not defined by brain function, it is defined by sustained dysfunction in life situations.

Keep free stuff free and add paid stuff. If your free stuff isn't sustainable, you really should have though that through early on.

This limit seems reasonable, because storage costs are expensive. But it should have been implemented day one so people have reasonable expectations on retention. Other's have mentioned open source projects and artifacts for scientific publication being two niche use cases where people still might want this data years later, but it'd be rare for it to be pulled every six months.

I only have a few things on docker hub, but I'll probably move them to a self-hosted repo pretty soon. At least if it's self hosted, I know it will stay up until I die and my credit cards stop working.
I am absolutely sure this is a play to give their lawyers more ammo to claim monopolistic practices in the App Store. They want to get shut down.
I had. My experience is mixed, sometimes all you wrote happens (like, it takes days to get processed), sometimes it doesn't (you might be surprised how fast some small providers can react, sometimes faster than bigger ones). If you want to speedup the process, contacting the legitimate owner is the way (and hope their response is faster).

I understand the will to take action, but doxing a phishing site can cause collaterals you did not foresee and you want to avoid, legally and otherwise. And it doesn't solve anything, as previously explained, it just temporarily turns them down, which leads to a comparison between the time invested by the adversary (who will block your source as first thing) and yours (and you don't want to go there). Definitely is not something to suggest to inexperienced people as "a good way to fight phishing" (which they'll take literally, because it looks cool). There might be exceptions to this (as in, calculated risks) but they go far beyond what makes sense for someone alone to do.
A salary of 2M could cover the salary of 5% of the employees that have been fired (assuming a 150k salary). I bet you their impact will be much bigger than a single CEOs.

I know of no country/city where someone needs 2M to live comfortably, but I haven't even called it ridiculous. What I called ridiculous is that seemingly this CEO does not have their salary tied to the performance of this company.

This sort of baseless assertion has no bearing in reality. In a project that hasn't adopted any linting tools and automatic style checks, all it takes is a misconfigured editor to post a change request that fails to comply with style guides. These sorts of absolutes show a complete detachment from reality and absence of any practical experience in the field.
Intel really doesn't want your feedback, eh?
The whole situation boils down to price.

AMD is a better value given the price. If Intel wants, they can just cut and match the prices.

Why is there so much callous fanboyism around/against a goddamn CPU supplier like they’re a statement of their lifestyle or such?

From the announcement, V-Bucks are 20% cheaper (... when purchased from epicstore I guess...).

So, you use your browser, login to epicstore with your account, purchase v-bucks at 20% discount and you use those v-bucks in all Epic Games regardless the platform.
Yes. You would either need massive censorship or insane levels of technical transparency. In both ways it's a huge technical challenge.
Most people in Germany consider BMW and Porsche to be highly prestigious, while Tesla is seen as a wannabe hipster toy. If you consider that most CEOs are 40+ and have driven BMW for 20 years, that kinda makes sense.

Looking at both the EV sales number by auto manufacturers and by auto brands, you can see that EV sales is no different than all automotive sales, the cheaper the cars, the more sales number they would have.

Cars (EV included) under VW and Hyundai brands are mostly affordable low-end to mid range vehicles, so it makes sense that they are sold more than luxury brands like Porsche, Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz and Tesla. Yes, Tesla is still a luxury brand with majority of the models selling at close to $40k USD or above (the $35k USD Model 3 standard range version was removed from their website, even though you can still technically order them by talking to a sales rep.)

Until Tesla can make their cars at below $30k range, they are not going to be competing head to head with VW and Hyundai, or in other words, they won't enjoy the sales number that VW or Hyundai has. There just aren't many who can afford Tesla. This is basic economics.

PS: Nissan Leaf sales numbers low is probably outlier due to the charging port (Nissan uses ChadeMo instead of CCS for fast charging, but they reverse course at 2021 model year since ChadeMo is dead outside of Japan) and the charging infrastructure issues.

PPS: Tesla manufacturing quality is also another issue - comparing to mature automotive manufacturers like VW and Hyundai. VW has 80 years of history of making cars, Hyundai has 50. Tesla is FAR behind in terms of the operational and manufacturing quality control than traditional automotive competitors, especially the German ones and Toyota (too bad, Toyota is betting big on hydrogen fuel cell and hybrid technologies, not on EV).
Yeah I just hope and pray that this century doesn't turn out like the early-to-mid 20th century.
You are right on only one thing: 1 version globally is stupid. Global properties in general are stupid. Have a notion of public vs private dependencies and one gets the right amount of coherence, not too much or too little.

Otherwise, hell fucking no. This misconception is causing so many mistakes. Software is an ecosystem; I give 0 shits about individual libraries programs whatever, just that the end composition meets my criteria. The app bundle / flatpak / corse-grained Docker vision of software is plain wrong, and will basically prevent future gains in productivity.

Nix and friends get it right: no single version dumbness, everything is installed the same way, be it by the admin or by regular user, and with proper notions of dependencies.

Socially, I understand where OP is coming from. The common view that distros are some crusty 90s holdover held hostage by a bunch of neckbeards who don't care about users not like themselves. But distros like NixOS put the user in full control. There's feeling of de-alienation using a NixOS machine that's really hard to convey to those that haven't yet tried it (and gotten over the initial learning curve).

Riots are also non-specific. The violence directed toward the "enemy" of the riot is at best a large fraction of the riot's violence. The rest is directed simply at its surroundings. The stores big and small, nearby homes, anyone who happens to be walking by and fitting the wrong description.

You can't do that and be just. A "just riot" would be an attack directed against a specific entity and people would label it a terrorist attack or mob violence, not a riot.
A lot of the infotainment can be commoditized (and should) by Android Auto and Apple Car Play instead of the various levels of awful put out by the legacy manufacturers but where Tesla shines is the interplay of the actual car hardware and software for non entertainment purposes and it gets better over time. A real world example: they recently pushed an update to include the side cameras when the rear view camera is loaded https://electrek.co/2020/06/18/tesl-software-update-2020-24-...

You can argue that it should have been included from the get go, but at the very least it could be after the fact, so it was.
