I've frozen in interviews and been unable to think on simple problems just due to anxiety (which I've never experienced at work; if I can't think, I just say, "let me think about it" and I get back to the person in a bit). Other interviews I've completely demolished - solving problems that were supposed to take 30 minutes in 2 minutes, for example.

I think the type of problem and structure we use for interviews is bad. Let the candidate code alone without you watching. Give them internet access. Come back in an hour or two, or let them do it remotely or as a take home. This is more like our real jobs; and gets rid of cutesy "do you know this algorithm?" questions, which many whiteboarding problems are. Instead of going for pure data structure / dp / search / sort algorithms, have them implement things like business rules.
It's pretty clear, to me anyway, that the Pro is yet to be updated - Apple seems to be segmenting the Pro updates from the non-Pro updates. So now would NOT be a good time to get a Pro if that's what you are leaning more towards.

If you don't need the Pro features, now is the perfect time to get an iPad :)
the A14 is a 6-core CPU, the A12Z is an 8-core CPU. So we'll have to wait for benchmarks to know for sure.
Apple co-founded the company. I imagine that they have a right to that IP.

Even if not, then yes, I would imagine that a behemoth of IP design like Apple would probably have considered IP rights during that design...

subscription is a competitive business with less differentiation than hardware. It also scales well without increasing cost linearly so $5 for Indian customers makes sense
Not something I'm going to pay for, but it's a nice add-on to what seems like a decent bundle over-all.
Because as @rainfall pointed out [1], the company has tried to trademark Zig, in essence putting a hand over the whole project?

Is there a reason to use spotify instead of youtube music?
Some regions have had lower pricing even before this. Apple Arcade alone has always been about $1.3 per month in India, for example.

The higher hardware pricing is mainly because Apple doesn’t give up much on its margins and because the import tariffs are high. The latter should go away for some products that are being made locally there though.

And, if it's open source and it's easier than switching to a new dependency, you can just adopt maintenance of the dependency—not necessarily generally, just enough to address any bugs induced in or evolution in needs for the project(s) you have that depend on it.
John W. Rogers, Jr. "was a leading campaigner for ... Bill Bradley's 2000 United States presidential campaign" and "served as a fundraising leader in Project Vote efforts led by former United States President Barack Obama". "He was part of the inner circle of the Barack Obama presidential campaign. He is a long-time Obama associate who serves as the co-chair of Obama's Illinois finance committee and who has been a major fundraiser for Democratic Party candidates. He served along with Bill Daley, Pat Ryan, Penny Pritzker and Julianna Smoot on Barack Obama 2009 presidential inauguration committee."

The reality is that there is no better solution. You can find alternative for this or that component, but you have to deploy yourself, monitor, scale.. Teachers/Schools are on the front, without any support. From the solution point of view, Google Class is the only one that a School can manage, with a small budget, low technical knowledge and no time. Ask for money from task payers, to develop, integrate open source, maintain and deploy it, IMO, has almost no ROI or it's a 10 years plan, we need it now.

Peloton is the ecosystem, I agree. It's the bike and everything around it. I obviously don't know Peloton's financials, but I see its marketing as being trainer+services primarily and BYOD treated as a second-class citizen. When people think Peloton, (I assume) they think about the integrated trainers and the classes structured around them, not _just_ the app for subscription fitness classes. At least that's my view of Peloton and what I'm basing my comment on.

>then people in general (through democracy) can decide what causes are valuable

Like lobbying their representatives to allow for loopholes and credits to allow them to keep their money and avoid the taxes that the lesser incomes must pay
Yes, exactly. I just dislike the value judgment about what unreasonable people do.

In addition a society/culture made up of solely unreasonable people would quickly fall apart. While a society/culture of entirely reasonable people, if they had an excellent rule of law, would thrive.
I've found the Kindle Fire to be a pleasant reading device for PDFs and ebooks. It's not an e-ink display, but you do get full color and PDF rendering is good. It's also cheap compared to an iPad, especially if this is your primary use case (I have both an iPad Pro and a Kindle Fire, the Kindle is my main reading device now, the iPad is a portable computer with Scrivener, Blink, Textastic, and Working Copy).
Ask anyone who has shared more of their worth than this man has. Plenty of parents have done more than give up "everything" to support a kids. Talk to any bail bondsman. Plenty of people regularly go past 0 and into negative net assets to help a family members in need. Talk to any veterinarian. They see people give their last dollar, and then leverage out every credit card beyond that last dollar, to save a pet. Broke means broke, not 2mil, not even really 0. Broke means broken. Forbes should not attach that word to this situation because this man is not.

I currently would not use V for a long running program for exactly that reason, unless it is a very simple service and I free everything manually. That said its -autofree mode is improving daily.

I've read the book. The same thing still applies and I believe I've seen a video where Fung has confirmed it but I don't have the link handy.

Fasting enables us to not have to focus on calorie restrictions to see a reduction in body weight. However, if you only eat 500 calories a day, eventually you will run out of fat and your BMR will go down as you approach a lower BMI.

It's a very slow and gradual process, but it does happen. If you've got plenty of fat to burn, not a huge issue, but as you lose weight it can start to apply more.

Anecdotal evidence also suggests that people who stick with a very strict IF schedule tend to see slower results and bigger plateaus than those who change things up more often.
Aside: the lack of reply link happens when you're in a conversation HN decides is moving too fast, which may indicate a flamewar.

I think you're being misinterpreted by me and others in this subthread, but it's your fault. :) You're literally just wondering aloud what Feeney thinks of Gates and whether that's changed in recent years, but we are reading an insinuation that it has changed for the negative. I don't think our misinterpretation of what you're saying is unreasonable -- someone above states that Feeney has publicly stated that he thinks highly of Gates and your response is to suggest that that's different now, and you link to a couple of articles, seeming to be supplying "evidence" of that, but the articles don't give any reason to think Feeney's thoughts about Gates have changed.

Your responses have convinced me that you really are just asking questions and have no preconceived notion of the answers, but the way you're asking the questions is causing people to bristle because they are presented like insinuations.

FYI.

edit: in my attempt to be helpful I see I'm being a bit repetetive. Was trying to get this out there quickly before the misunderstanding escalated into a shit-fight. :D
It does not matter what precisely she studies - she is a specialist in genetic engineering, and the evidence she brings up is applicable across wide range of living organisms, as soon as it has DNA; what did you personally study? Computer Science? Electric Engineering? Case closed, I guess? Did you actually read what she wrote? Did not she explain why it is a preprint? If you _actually_ bother to read her paper, you'd understand what she actually wanted to say - namely you cannot deny probability of man made virus, just basing your argument on old preliminary research made in January. That research is like stupid statement by Knuth long time about goto operator, old, irrelevant but is become a consensus. And her motivation has nothing to do with China per se, her concern is danger of GoF experiments, which can lead to disaster.
Probably including the sales tax or something in the figure. Isn’t California one of the worst states in the country for tax burden?

I do find it weird that CA has some of the worst taxes for new residents. I can’t imagine a place that is more difficult to break into and then settle in. (High property values, outrageously high property taxes, high sales tax, high income tax, etc...) It’s setup to only let the rich get in and stay. Not a very inclusive place.

Did you encounter this in practice? I never noticed it as an issue when working on my ipad pro.
Depends on your definition of impact. Tesla certainly is not improving education outcomes worldwide, nor funding healthcare research; nor is spaceX saving rainforests from being cut down every day, or helping sustain democracy.

I guess EVs have less environmental impact after four years of use, but do Teslas last that long? The intent there (and the impact) is still very much to monetize
iOS encourages developers to make apps for their services because Safari's features and compatibility lag behind other browsers, and it doesn't implement PWA functionality.
> I've seen lots of news about people buying expensive shit, but the fact that this has never come to my attention is a horrible indicator of what the media chooses to report on.

While weighing journalist's actions you might want to consider that Chuck Feeney wanted to remain completely anonymous and the media - the members of the media acting in accordance with your desires specifically - made that impossible.

(that some of us have known his name for many years might also indicate that this has never come to my attention is not a meaningful measure of the media's performance - perhaps it's a measure of your use of media)
> You'll be able to go on Amazon and buy [Bike/Treadmill/etc] with "Fitness+ Compatible" that streams wirelessly to your watch/phone.

This really isn't new at all (Zwift, Trainerroad, Sufferfest, Aaptiv, etc). Hell even today all that Peloton offers over competitors is nice treadmills and a closed/proprietary protocol for integration (unlike those other examples). I do expect that Apple will likely package and market it very thoughtfully for mass-market, which is significant. One could argue that Peloton is also all about its mass-market appeal, which is exactly why we're talking about Peloton and not the enthusiast-oriented brands like Wahoo.
> neither by stealing or exploiting

Citation needed, as they say.

There have been dozens of controversies involving Amazon: shopping for tax breaks it doesn’t need for HQ2, micro-managing warehouse employees’ bladder, union busting, firing a COVID whistleblower, cross-contaminating inventory, insufficient protections against counterfeit items, building a book ecosystem monopoly, probably numerous others I haven’t thought of off the top of my head.
Me too! It seems very odd (nouveau?) that Apple is announcing a new A-series chip (A14) with an iPad, rather than an iPhone. Even more so that it's not even a Pro version.

Eyeing the A14 vs. the A12X/A12Z, it look like it could be similar since there's 2 less cores for CPU and GPU but there's also a 2-year architecture improvements plus a node shrinkage from 7nm to 5nm. We'll see once 3rd party benchmarks come out.

This suggests that the new Pro will be significantly better, at least in the chip compartment. Otherwise Apple would've put the A13 to differentiate between the Air and the Pro lineups.
I disagree.

YET ANOTHER feature that is linked to ONE SINGLE account. If apple decides to block your account, everything is gone. This happened some time ago to my microsoft account - everything gone. And why? Because I have uploaded (automatically) a nude picture of my gf to their cloud, it was detected by their algorithm and my account was locked.

I had to communicate with microsoft by a PAPER LETTER(!) to understand WHY my account was locked in the first place and that they would not care to unlock it.

This happened 3 years ago. Their policy might differ today regarding nude content. But for me it was a shock and a lesson.
IMO it's shockingly good. Because there's no ads or IAP, the games optimize for fun or story, and not addictiveness. It has a large and varied catalog, but a high quality bar. I have never tried an Apple Arcade game and thought it was junk. Instead I've found some real gems: Assemble with Care, Card of Darkness, others

> Especially considering that its literal definition is "requiring people to actually understand how to program computers

Too bad no one ever told Microsoft about that...
They did, and failed:

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Nvidia-to-licence-GPU-technolo...

My guess is they failed because Geforce at the time was too much of a "desktop architecture", and my guess is that it still is. But now that they own Arm they can just tell all Mali customers "take it or leave it."
IMO Spotify is also way better for discovering new music to listen to. Apple Music's recommendations are bland and uninspired in comparison.

Spotify also does way better on social features (like sharable summaries at the end of the year of what you've listened to, integration with other apps, etc). Of course that's something that a lot of people don't necessarily care about.

I moved from Spotify to Apple music because Spotify had janky network issues under certain conditions, and network issues would sometimes hang the UI. Now that I'm spending a lot more time at home, im considering making the move back to Spotify, since Apple Music has its own share of irritating bugs
Socket puppet? R. Segreto is not a sock puppet. Preprint, because big scientific magazines deny her article for potentially political reasons.

"Don't release this to the world" strikes me as a bit hyperbolic, because parsing is rarely the bottleneck. Considering editors, individual source files are typically (relatively) small, even in a large project. Considering compilers, parsing is already the smallest portion of the run-time anyway.
> Hopefully the market rejects zero-port iPhones and Apple finally provides local USB-C for sync, audio, wired ethernet, keyboard, external displays, etc.

Highly unlikely. I'm not an Apple fan but they'll probably have a slick solution at about $60-$140 and people will just buy that instead. It's going to be a classic upsell move ("would you like $60 worth of shoe miscellany together with your $80 shoes?") and people will just see the nice ads, the nice design, but it and move on :-)
I tend towards the conservative side of center, which has been an uncomfortable place for the past 10+ years in the US -- both parties moving away from the center, but the GOP doing so much faster.

I thought for certain the level of hate the left has for the current federal regime would make my constant refrain of "do we really think the government will do a better job?[1]" finally make sense. However, the empirical fact that government agencies will be directed by those you don't like doesn't seem to deter people from wanting to increase the role of those agencies.

1: To be clear: I'm not an anarcho-libertarian; I think the answer to this question can very often be "yes" but living in coastal California, I too often seem to be surrounded by people who think getting the government involved is the only reasonable solution to any problem. Conversely there is a very large minority of the US right that seems to think that bombs, guns and walls is the only time the answer is "yes"
This doesn't seem odd or unusual to me. New products will have the newest generation of chips. I seem to remember this happening several times with iPhone releases, where new low-end models have newer (and potentially faster) chips than old high-end models.

The Air vs. small Pro choice might be a little difficult right now, since the Pro is presumably near the end of its form factor lifespan while the Air has just inherited most of that form factor from its more expensive sibling. I suspect that ProMotion and bigger storage options would be the key deciding factor for most people, and LiDAR might be a factor for some niche workloads.
Fitting, I just started looking into reusing plastic myself by collecting plastic from my own, family and friends trash and remoulding it into something useful. In my quest for this, I found Precious Plastic, an amazing community around recycling plastics yourself and for your community. https://preciousplastic.com/

While individuals plastic pollution is not the biggest emitter of plastic here in the world, we can always take small steps towards making sure we don't throw as much plastic as we currently do.
Personally, I don’t find the concept of free software to be analogous to free speech. I don’t think they are of the same level of importance, and aren’t even very similar concepts.

> Imagine a CSV parser written in Java. I can imagine quite well that it would rarely need updates, as CSV does not evolve

CSV, which isn't even a standard and the closest thing to a standard is a description of the breadth of different behaviors seen under the name at a particular point in time with some notes about their relative frequencies and respective practical issues, does, in fact, evolve.
People are so into recycling, but I fail to see how I can make a difference by recycling. It just seems like the problem is too massive at this point.
Apple usually keeps things simple, but in this case, I want iCloud, Fitness+ and Apple Music. I don’t care much about Arcade or Apple News+ or Apple TV+ (with its tiny catalog that’ll be free for a year with new devices anyway).

I don't see Apple ever moving to a cable less iPhone (at least on all models). Wireless charging is no where near efficient enough to charge todays larger phone battery packs with anything resembling decent speed. In a car I doubt my phone would charge at all with the increased heat from sun and heat from inductive charging - heck the phone might shut down; it sometimes does on hot summer days already if I'm not really careful with positioning it.

I do admit that the majority of time I rarely plug it in, but when I do in order to get it topped off as much as I can as quickly as I can, it's really useful. External battery packs? Also very impractical and way more cumbersome.

It's a persistent rumor but I just don't see it.

> do on their own property ...

Yea, but their property doesn't exist in a vacuum. They have neighbours and there's always downstream effects.

I'd say part of this attitude is an effect of rights becoming disconnected from responsibilities. Like, sure, one may "own" the land, but it better be well take care of, be a good steward. Not because there's immediate bad effects, but because those effects diffuse into the real non-human world.
A fork is literally a split of the ecosystem.
I am a career switcher who did code "for fun" and only figured out that I would like my life more if I did it as my job in my 30s. Somehow, I had built my life around the assumption that your job had to be "hard" as in "you need to constantly force yourself to do the work" as some kind of masochistic virtue, and it took me that long to realize that I could actually enjoy my work AND get paid well for it if I just did what I loved (software).

Anyway, to your comment: there are people like this everywhere, in all industries. The more money there is involved in a domain, the more you will find people that are only in that domain for the money. Doesn't mean those people wont have legit skills that can be utilized, but there are some downsides as you note.
>>* Marginally bigger display. * 120 Hz refresh rate (ProMotion)

These 2 things are huge for some people, including me. I had been using a 2019 MacBook Pro 13 until I picked up the latest iPad Pro 12.9, mainly for the pencil support (I draw things sometimes). The difference in screens is (to me) ridiculous! The aspect ratio, brightness and 120Hz make the iPad display the best 13" laptop I have ever used. The MacBook Pro looks kinds of sickly & squashed by comparison. It makes me wonder if Apple actually cares about the Mac laptops anymore.

Also, the processor in the iPad Pro is so fast, I honestly don't need any more speed for now[1].
