Failing Valgrind is surely not a state in which neither a serious program should be nor the code produced by it. Most programs and their results that are in serious use are actually regulaly tested with Valgrind and therefore don't have such elementary failures, unless they aren't maintained.

It doesn't have to be "a library" -- as soon as you want to test it, you don't want it to fail the trivial tests. Nobody wins anything by keeping that in that state.
Is it possible to use inkscape as a library? If not you can always use whatever library to produce an SVG and convert it to PDF. Or are there features in PDF that is impossible to produce using SVG?
I think the point is that it is 2020. Most people won't have to buy it.

Power adapters that use a USB connector have been commonly included with a large fraction of consumer devices for at least a decade now. Most of us already have several that we aren't using.

USB power adapters have also been by far the most common when people explicitly purchase a power adapter, such as when they want a higher wattage adapter to charge faster than the basic one that came with some device, or they want to replace a single port adapter with one with multiple ports to better utilize their outlets.

Result: probably 95+% of consumers in the US who would buy an Apple device already have plenty of USB charging ports available.
Slightly pejorative in that it suggests a result that's less effective/streamlined/economical/whatever than had the new part been included (or at least accounted for as a possible extension) in the original design.
I agree, but the problem with the FT is that they’ve stopped capturing the whole zeitgeist on some topics. Telling half the story all the time leads to the sorts of surprises that financial market participants really don’t like. It’s a very strange strategy for the business they’re in. They did get sold a while back, and their editors have changed, so perhaps their subscription model has been struggling and they’re pivoting to the clickbait model.
Your own code from 6 months ago usually works.
Do you have some context around that number? E.g. are you in a large company that pre-filters the pool for you?

I ask because 50 is not completely unreasonable. I've had positions where we've had to interview dozens of candidates, in our small company. In larger companies, often someone else does some initial interviews though and that filters out candidates who e.g. can't code at all (sometimes - not always!).
Apple just took a huge swing at Peloton and at home fitness startups.

Why cycle in place at home with a Peloton instructor, when you can cycle outside with a Fitness+ instructor? Why limit yourself to your stationary Peloton bike at home, when you can use a stationary bike anywhere?

Apple can and probability will beat out Lulu Lemon's Mirror on price using motion capture on an AppleTV smartTV or Ipad.

Only startup that stands a chance is Tonal b/c of their hardware providing value.
I'm really intrigued at what pattern matching in Java will look like, and happy that our Java-land brethren will be able to use them. It's one of the features that I can't live without even though at first I thought of them as weird and "multiple ways of doing the same thing".
Sometimes it's easy. We had a candidate who looked good on paper and sounded good in person. When it was time to start the screening test he asked to go to the bathroom. And never came back. We took that as a red flag.

>Is Apple going to pull a Fortnite and kick exercise apps off next for "duplicating core Apple products"?

That's not what Fortnite got kicked out for, and I think it is unfair to pretend otherwise.

Also, they didn't kick out Spotify or other music streaming services after introducing Apple Music, so I don't see that happening here either.
First, I think you meant evolution. Natural selection is regularly, directly witnessed in all levels of life.

Towards the more general argument -- in the absence of formal proof, we are left with selecting the most likely scenario. In this case, what is the reason to believe it was created in a lab as opposed through natural mechanisms? The latter is more likely unless some evidence suggests otherwise. If the only evidence thus far is from a non-reviewed journal w/ very obvious political motivations, then it likely continues to be the less likely scenario.
The $1000+ up front and $30 monthly is for the trainer product. You can subscribe to Peloton's (or Aaptiv's or any number of brands') workouts and BYODevice and pay in the neighborhood of $13/mo for the workouts.

Fitness+ absolutely is encroaching on that subscription workout space, but a physical bike/treadmill and a watch are not competitors. If someone wants a stationary bike they're not going to be shopping for a smart watch.
Yeah, to put this in some context, giving to "education" sounds good, but then when you see over $1B or 12.5% of his fortune went to elite private universities (one of which, Stanford, already has the 3rd or 4th largest endowment in NA), that really stretches the definition of "philanthropy".
I doubt most donations are made just to get a callout. That seems like an overly simplified, pessimist view.
Better processor. Wife has series 3 and I have a 4 - the 4 is 50% faster. I wouldn't buy a series 3 as it's just a bit too slow.
How to Encrypt Your Existing S3 Objects with Batch Operations
I looked into it but watches, like phones, fall into the category of things that really do just need built by a company with tiny unsolderable-by-humans parts. When I checked maybe a year ago I found a fitness tracker that someone had found a way to upload new firmware to, but the hardware was no longer manufactured so you had to find second-hand parts on eBay, and there weren't many on sale in Europe. I gave up hoping the idea of an open hardware health watch would be the topic of a Kickstarter in the future.
Well, not saying this is what he did, but if you took away from American minimum wage workers and gave to rural South Asians or sub-Saharan Africans, you are improving world equity.

The West is hyper-wealthy.
> It was AMD who started calling FP32 ALUs 'shader cores' or 'shaders' with the introduction of the ill fated 2900 XT

IIRC, ATI started to use proper FP32 ALUs for both pixel shading and video processing/acceleration [0] around the same time. I guess doing this stuff needs more than simple MUL/ACC instructions.

So, there's no misdirection here.

The base requirements are higher to get into tinkering, which reduces the probability of a child tinkering (my conjecture). Although, perhaps that’s mitigated with the increased ease of accessing that info online.

For example, I could take apart a VCR with a couple basic tools and no input from my parents (who were always busy working and didn’t know English). But I might have needed some guidance on where to get started with a Raspberry Pi and obtaining one, guidance I never would have received from my family.
(Please don't take this as making light of the situation in the PNW. I realize it's awful and don't wish it on anyone.)

I can think of one, small silver lining to these fires:

I recently read that Asian giant hornets had recently been found in the PNW, and if they weren't wiped out in a few years they'd become permanently entrenched. I find that prospect absolutely terrifying, so perhaps we'll get lucky and these fires will wipe them out.
My understanding is that Everett has done his best to make a controversy of it, with most linguists preferring to try to ignore him. Unfortunately that's hard when he's doing the Pinker jig, engaging in pop linguistics, etc. So people are forced to engage with it.

I generally agree; finding a language which opts not to use recursion would be a weird phenomenon, and might make certain claims about UG weaker. But it wouldn't invalidate all of traditional linguistic research for the past however many years or totally upend our current theoretical frameworks.
I don't see any possible way to fund the design and manufacturing of open hardware for a fitness tracker device that would meet consumer expectations for size, style, durability, and battery life. Apple, Garmin, Suunto, and Google (Fitbit) spend a fortune on product development and release new models every year. Any new market entrant would never be able to compete directly; they'd have to figure out some totally different physical form factor in order to have any chance.
For a while I would get news links in the side menu of my iphone that, when clicked, would tell me I couldn't read it without Apple News+. I wasn't sure how that differed from the oft-hated candy crush ads in windows. Idk if this is still a thing.

That aside, this looks like a decent offering. I wonder how profitable it actually is. Apple TV and Arcade have, by my understanding, not done great. I don't have a sense for Apple Music personally but I don't know anyone locally who uses it over Spotify.
Yeah, I've noticed this. See this kind of thinking a lot on the left, and partly explains its tendency towards totalitarianism. See for example the recent riots as opposed to more moderation
You are just doing the same thing. Posting an article with no context. That and making snide remarks.

If you want to say something, say it. Use articles to bolster your point, sure, but posting them without commentary isn't discussion.
If one uses Apple's services, this will be a welcome relief from getting pinged six times a month with "We just charged your credit card for $APPLE_SERVICE_1...", "We just charged your credit card for $APPLE_SERVICE_2...", ad nauseum. Quit nickel-and-diming me and just charge me once.
I have an L-shape butcher block setup between two filing cabinets. It's hard to skip the inner legs completely without extensive metal bracing but the supports you need are technically minimal if you do minimal strapping. I integrated a swivel foot rest that sits 45degrees to the corner. It's about 36" wide and the posts going up from the swivel points support the back end of the L.

“are you advocating for continuing to follow a blog that is known to give misinformation because you like the writing style?”

If you look at op’s comment, there is no mention of style.

I also have no visibility into misinformation from the blogger. Not sure that OP does either.

With respect to his weather writing, he’s been around for quite a while and is perceived as authoritative. He had a radio show dedicated to the weather on NPR. This isn’t some rando with a blog.

Questions you should have asked: “how do you feel about this posting where he makes this claim that is clearly misinformation?”

You may be right about your above questions- but as an outsider looking at this thread, I don’t see why you believe the things you do and I don’t know why OP would ever agree to that phrasing. You assumed conflict rather than misunderstanding by asking ~“are you advocating reading misinformation because it’s well written?” Is a question that assumes someone knows your context.

Trying not to be adversarial here- just underlining where reasonable people would not be super thrilled with the questioning style.
I put it behind the fan as well, but now I'm curious if there a difference in air quality between the two methods?
Unless Apple is releasing a bike and treadmill I doubt Peloton has much to be concerned with. Half the draw is the fact the tread and bike are both extremely high quality and directly track what you're doing (distance, not just heart rate). I don't even think Apple currently has a compatible cadence sensor?

Mirror... I never really understood that one in the first place but I'll assume the folks who love it love it probably feel the same way.
> Can you remind me who in the thread advocated the view you're criticizing?

You reduced the critique of the article to "How dare they screen tenants", which is a strawman that no one is proposing. I cited ways in which tenant screening is problematic (credit reporting and criminal background checks) in hopes of highlighting that it's not at all preposterous for someone to be critical of technology being used in this space.

> So you know nothing about the tenants you rent to? They're all strangers?

Sometimes. I know some people I've rented to. Others have been strangers. Ask for references, have a coffee shop conversation. I've had folks suddenly have life happen to them (and lose the ability to pay rent for a bit). It's not hard to treat folks like humans, imo.
None of that garbage and pretty good quality. Why not try for a month or two?
A big part of my problem with AWS is not the services, so much as setting up the accounts/roles/permissions etc. and then visibility into my spend. How are you handling RBAC?
The article says he put away $2m for his and his wife's retirement. While I agree it's not quite 'broke' in the classic American sense, it is .025% of his former net worth of $8b.
Somewhere between 32% and 75% of American donations are to churches or church-affiliated organizations. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/oct/30/religious-p...

Myanmar is an exceptionally devout Buddhist society with many monasteries supported through traditional almsgiving. I suspect that's why Myanmar tops even the U.S. in the World Giving Index, which merely asks whether you've donated money or time (volunteered).

Not that faith-based giving is inferior, but different people have different notions about what constitutes philanthropy and charity.
Probably a good move. Some of these services by themselves are compelling but don't quite justify yet another $5 a month.

I recently myself cut out Apple Arcade. The games were obviously well beyond the norm in quality, but it was difficult to justify in a pandemic when I'm at home all day and not experiencing those commuting scenarios where short games slot in.

As part of a bundle tho, Arcade increases the value.
It still comes with the USB charging cable; they're just removing the brick.
You can say you reject it, but you're not entitled to your own set of facts.
This shit is why when I had a medium-ticket item (Starcraft II Collector's Edition, sold for ~$300 at the time), I used the Fulfilled by Amazon feature. It cost me more, but I believed that having Amazon know before it shipped out that it was a sealed box, I'd be much less likely to get scammed.
I was very surprised when Apple just removed Touch ID in iPhone X: technology for putting fingerprint scanners under the screen already existed then (and now works great on my trusty Moto Z4), and touch unlock is way more convenient and reliable than Face ID, even before covid era.

Also: Moto Z3 had a fingerprint sensor on power button and it was by no means great. For me, fingerprint sensor works well only on front side, so I can unlock a device that lays on a table, without picking it up.
Most countries don't let you deduct your donations from your taxes. It's hard to compare levels of giving across nations because of this.

A lot of people only donate to reduce their tax bill.

Also, because we don't have a social safety net in the US, a lot of people donate to make up for that, which is certainly noble, but would be far less necessary if we had a stronger social safety net that more evenly distributed that wealth giveaway.

I like the idea of Apple Fitness+. That it provides an integrated experience with the watch and another device (iPhone/iPad/Apple TV) is exactly what I’ve been waiting for all these years!

No need to create yet another online account on a service that may share (or sell or probably lose) my workout and health information. The workout recommendations are computed on-device, and the data stays on the devices (health data is encrypted before storing on iCloud or in iTunes/Finder backups on the Mac). This is how private I prefer it to be.

The casual fitness market (for lack of a better term) is really huge. With Apple Watch SE and the standalone yearly price (covering family members) which seems like a great deal, this is just the beginning of another growth area for Apple. If Apple combines fitness with fun, like Wii Fit or Ring Fit Adventure, that’ll be the biggest worldwide fitness service ever.

I can’t wait to try this out.
If your language is fairly low-level, you might be able to get away with "translating" it into LLVM.

If it's not low-level, you have to make a bunch of implementation decisions - how do your language's killer features work under the hood??

For just one example, for V, the author reuses Go's `go` keyword to launch a new coroutine/green thread. What algorithms do you use to share work between threads equally? What data structures do you use to represent those? What's the right balance between latency, throughput, memory usage, etc etc?

Many common language features are non-trivial to implement, even with the help of the LLVM IR (which I think is wonderful).
@hamburglar I have no idea hence my question. Feeney's style has been to very privately and anonymously find worthwhile projects and fund them. Gates owns giant swathes of the media and is vastly wealthier than Feeney. I wonder what Feeney makes of that during the current global pandemic.

Is that Giving Index skewed by American tipping culture at all?
> (and incidentally why couldn't they do that anyway?)

Why try to compete on merit when you can swoop in and dictate the market to do your bidding? Coming at it from this perspective, it's looking like almost the same old Nvidia again :)

> Take one example. So Nvidia / Arm invest heavily in data center focused designs - are they really going to offer this IP to Ampere / Amazon on equal terms when compared to an Nvidia CPU? As Ben says 'color me skeptical'.

That I don't believe, indeed. They will crush their datacenter competition, but I think the server market here might ironically a bit more flexible in moving to different ISAs when compared to mobile.

I'm saying FB heavily emphasizes its efforts against coordinated inauthentic behavior as if that were the only significant problem on its platform.
This is cool, but I can't help feel that the bright yellow banner beneath each one pulls attention away from the logos themselves.
that’s interesting but it’s pretty rare that you only need to take one medication. (it’s also interesting how this behaves if you can’t remember and/or open the bottle multiple times)

what most people end up doing is using a pill organizer (per days or per days+ampm). this way you can by visually inspecting the organizer (most are transparent) if you took your pills.

i think this could be coupled with a smart pill organizer to send you reminders if time for a specific slot has passed and you didn’t take your pills.
Free trade based on the principle of comparative advantage only survives so long as the gains of free trade are adequately distributed to the public. Otherwise, the public will revolt and show the elites who's really in control, even if they don't end up better off in the short-medium term. In the long run, this can lead to reestablishment of free trade on more equal terms. The elites must preemptively make free trade work for everyone. That's not only moral, but it's rational too. It can help avoid an age of wasted potential and strife. The Great Depression was preceded by isolationism. Who wants to go through that again? Not me.

The point is, the ball is in the court of corporations and the wealthy. Money in politics will work for them until it doesn't. No amount of donations, ear whispering, and cocktail parties can avert popular rage. Trump supporters are only a taste of what may be coming, because Trump was easy on the rich (of course). There's no guarantee that the next populist president will be as nice to the rich. There's no guarantee that the next populist president won't be more capricious on free trade. The underlying ailments that gave rise to populism must be addressed as soon as possible. Critically, free trade is not the problem. The problem, like I said, is that the rich capture too much of the surplus from trade. More of that surplus should be going to education, bullet trains, research, socialized healthcare, etc...and it's not.

Then we end up with more and more schools using M$ because all the businesses use it, and more businesses using M$ because all the kids know it. This is bad for our kids, bad for creating critical thinking employees, bad for pretty much everyone besides Microsoft. If it gets bad enough the government has to step in and strong-arm them like they did with Bell.

I'd argue that anyone in a position to make these types of decisions for their organization has a societal obligation to consider the potential consequences of "just going with the flow" when it comes to contributing to an AWS/Google/Microsoft type monopoly.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I don't really want anything provided by the software on the watch, just the hardware, and I'll do the rest. I realise my use-case is in the 0.005%, but when companies can ship tens of millions of these I am surprised there isn't someone selling what I'm after.

> There's really nothing fundamentally different about Kevin the yuppie changing the oil in his "classic" 2001 4Runner on the street but when you start talking about people like Cletus, Manuel and Jamal doing the same on domestic minivans of the 90s suddenly there's a problem. The fact that Kevin's bank account has more digits to the left of the decimal shouldn't matter but for some reason it does...

I mean, I don't see much of a problem in either case unless they're routinely obstructing the right of way or leaving a half-built vehicle to rust in the front lawn.

sometimes seemingly small differences can change something from cool or at least acceptable to annoying. I used to live across the street from a guy with an immaculately maintained classic mustang. my nextdoor neighbors had a bunch of two-stroke dirtbikes that they would ride almost everyday. that mustang was incredibly loud, but it sounded awesome. the guy was really cool and would show me other exotic cars he was restoring all the time. the dirtbikes were not nearly as loud as the mustang, but they weren't interesting either, so I just found them annoying. despite the fact that they were basically doing the same thing, I'd way rather have the mustang guy as a neighbor than the dirtbike family.

But the point of capturing package thieves was that it would be pointed at your door.

Beyond that, I don’t get why people want to capture footage of package thieves. It’s not like police actually go after these people. Has anyone here ever actually heard back, “yeah, we got the guy and here’s your packages!” Pretty rare as far as I hear.
