Not fully. MacOS applications are nothing more than _APP_NAME_.app directory with an internal structure and manifest files that denote it is an application so when double clicking on the directory Finder knows to run the actual application binary located with-in the directory. This allows for decoupling the resources from the binary. Had to place multiple 3rd party binaries here in case the end-user didn't have them installed and used them as a fallback.

Most 3rd party applications are actually an installer script that places the contents into /opt/_APP_NAME/ or where ever the end-user requests they be placed.

The closest I'm come to mimicking Mac style on Windows to create an installer that does not actual install but extracts the contents to user's temp directory and executes the application. Needed a simple solution so the end-user just had to download and double click to run the application since they might not have admin rights to install the application.

I actually prefer the MacOS style since installing and backing up applications or moving to a new computer is the same process.

I keep seeing people who argue that TVs would be notably "more expensive" if they didn't come with ads.

Let's say that the average Samsung TV costs $1,000, ad revenue per person is around $30 a year, and the average lifespan of a TV is 10 years. I own a Samsung TV since 2016. I think they may have pushed 5 firmware updates since then.

There is no way I can be convinced that Samsung needs to increase the price of TVs by 20%. Also, if that's the difference, why can't I just pay more and opt out? And why are other users in other countries not being shown ads?
A well managed portfolio accounts for return, volatility and correlations. It is also re-balanced over time.

But... What is a portfolio? The term portfolio refers to the combination of assets such as stocks, bonds, or cash. As a portfolio manager, your job is twofold:

Picking assets: decide which assets you will be part of your portfolio

Allocate capital: decide on how much capital you will allocate to each asset

Your job is to maximize the expected return and cut the risk of your portfolio.

Imagine that you have $100k and suppose you already selected a portfolio of 30 assets. How would you build your portfolio? i.e. how would you distribute you cash in the different assets?

PORTFOLIO SELECTION

Harry Markowitz was awarded a Nobel Prize in Economics for its Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) he introduced in his 1952 paper "Portfolio Selection".

MPT forms the foundation for all subsequent theories on how risk is quantified. It still influence the way we invest today.

Risk-return trade-off is one of the basic concepts of Modern Portfolio Theory. An optimal portfolio does not include securities with the highest potential returns or with the lowest risk. It is a thin balance between the two: a mix of (i) securities with the greatest potential returns and of (ii) securities with the lowest degree of risk.

What are the expected returns and volatility of a portfolio containing the two assets? A linear combination of the two? Not necessarily. The values are a function of the correlation between the returns of the assets.

Glad to have your feedbacks on this
SIMT has always just a fancy disguise on top of SIMD hardware, but don't tell the GPU manufacturers I said that :)
As a recent college grad who has held many junior developer interviews while working at a startup, I would say that the answer is most definitely no. The current interview process is so bogged down with a high number of applicants and focuses so much on objective accomplishments, that any shortcut to trim applicants is taken. It seemed that only by removing applicants with a lower GPA or perhaps a mismatching degree could the interview pool actually reach a manageable number. This is a real shame because so many good people are most definitely ignored, but it is so much harder to prove character traits versus simply checking for a degree.

Coincidentally, I also started trying to learn C programming on System 6 yesterday.

So far the key resource for me has been "Macintosh C Programming by Example,"[0] which also uses THINK C. The disk that originally accompanied the book is available on Macintosh Garden.[1]

Scott Knight also has a nice intro to classic Mac development, using Pascal in the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop instead of THINK C.[2]

Then there's also the old Inside Macintosh books[3] and other how-to books[4][5], but I haven't looked at those yet.

Absolutely. If forced (as in there are no dumb tv options that are viable), I'd reluctantly buy a smart TV, but I'd never let it actually connect it up.
It’s getting harder and harder to. I ended up buying a projector and a screen, large TVs are pretty much all infected with this kind of “smart os” and I don’t want a tv constantly asking to be connected to the internet so it can download adware.
quite obviously dont have adblocker on since i said above that there was an ad...
which will still display ads sometimes, bec "consumers want it"
Someone in a previous thread mentioned Sceptre TVs. They are dumb. Incredibly low priced but quality models available (55" 4k HDR HDMI 2.0 for $300) [1]. They have 30yrs experience. Seems a good company. Have high-end models too.

Honest question: why is it appropriate for Apple to take 30% off the top of everything, but Samsung doesn't get 30% of Disney+ subs?
I bought the top-end 65" model from Samsung a few years ago. Judging by this my next TV won't be a Samsung.

One thing is how annoying most ads are. Ad networks has proven themselves time and time again to be excellent attack vectors for all kinds of nasty. I don't want that on a device I paid thousands of dollars for!

> since C++ does not even pretend to have a stable ABI. I know that the G++ developers are trying to keep things compatible but i'm not sure of the C++ designers care that much.

The Itanium C++ ABI is the stable ABI on Linux, and the C++ standards committee (along with those who maintain the Itanium ABI) cares very much about not breaking the ABI. For example, the C++ committee is not able to make any ABI-breaking changes to the standard library, even where it would be advisable.
I had one of those TVs. The ads show up in the menu bar. I called them and told them I paid over a thousand dollars for this TV and do not want ads. They said they'd be happy to help me disable my internet connection. I was so dumbfounded at the petty response that I simply hung up.

Lost a customer for life. I will never again buy a Samsung product.

I once asked an engineer I respect deeply “what’s an acceptable timeout for this integration test?” His answer has stuck with me for a long time: “whatever your users will tolerate when they attempt that workflow.”

Software can always be made better and can always be made faster. But you do have to know when to stop, and for me it’s always at “what my users will tolerate.”
Samsung really needs to just flush their entire software division. It's all garbage. Their android software is a frustrating joke. Tizen is a hot mess. Every issue I've ever had with a samsung product was with their software, and it's why I've sworn off the brand as a whole.
Why am I not convinced?
Air quality monitoring service Airly raises $2M
If the top 1% get their income doubled, and the median doesn't change (even after accounting for inflation / purchasing power), then it's debatable if we even have a problem.

If the bottom 30% income halved, you're correct that we have a problem, but that hasn't actually happened.

You can view the inflation-adjusted income data split up by quintile here -> https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/income-p... (Table H-1, All Races, it's an Excel spreadsheet). Even among the bottom quintile, inflation-adjusted income has increased.

> the company will pocket the remaining $460k

First, in most companies it's very hard to say who exactly managed to increase the profit. Is it you who came up with the idea? Is it your boss who picked this specific idea out of fifty other ideas you came up with last week? Is it the QA team who managed to catch the bug which would've erased all the profits? Is it HR who hired you among other candidates?

Second, no, the remaining is not $460k.
In a Big Greedy Corporation I work an average annual cost of employee in "primary" location is around $200k (pre-covid). It includes office space, technology, infrastructure, salary, taxes, fees, insurances and so on.

Third, that's the premium the company gets for the risk. Intern will get his salary no matter what. The company makes a bet though. You want to own part of that risk? Build your own company.
Teleconferencing is a good example of where this does matter, although I'd suggest that despite the current situation we're all in, it's not a significant part of the industry.

> And don't forget about the studies out there that show a relationship between load time and revenue in e-commerce: "A 100ms decrease in checkout page load speed amounted to a 1.55% increase in session-based conversion."

This is true, although I believe this relationship doesn't hold when you're moving from 200ms to 100ms, it's more for when you're moving from 1000ms to 900ms.

If you own an Internet-connected TV, you've been seeing these for 2 years or more. I submitted it 11 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21427405) and it wasn't new then.

The ACR-based retargeting audiences (https://www.samsung.com/us/business/samsungads/resources/tv-...) are probably the most offensive. For example: "Reach viewers who saw your competitor’s ads as quickly as 60 seconds after linear ad airing." Since they're capturing and analyzing screenshots from all TV inputs (even HDMI sources), they can target based on not just what you're watching, but which ads you've seen. Games, movies, apps, whatever - they're capturing the actual image you're seeing in realtime.

I maintain a list of deep links to opt-out of data collection and sharing, mostly just because it pisses me off: https://simpleoptout.com/ . My site includes all of the TV manufacturers and TV OSes, but Samsung is easily the worst. As I wrote: "distinctly less customer-friendly than its peer companies. If it can be retained and shared, it probably is."
Yes, because Google is a major contributor to ISO C++, LLVM, clang, has billions of C++ code, and yet fails to follow best practices.

So what to be expected by those companies that hardly have such a deep knowledge about C++ among their troops?
You know, being controversial here and coming from a finance perspective, I've wondered if Excel has done more harm than good to the finance / M&A / investing industries.

Endless iterations, countless different scenarios, simulations of whatever what-if analysis you can think of, exact numbers to 10 decimal places... it all creates the perception of critical thinking and useful work.

Often, again in finance and investing, these things are actually only a way to make you feel like you did something useful. It is easy to do these things in excel - and you can show the numbers and the outputs that support all the "hard work" you did.

However, at the end of the day they are just numbers in a spreadsheet that you can make do whatever you want.

Critical thinking about investment rationale is lost, because it is hard and doesn't look robust because it is just words, and mindless number crunching is preferred because it is easy and looks robust.

> but most average consumers definitely wouldn't.

This is the problem. We're so used to giving up privacy now that, slowly, they're chipping away at the small amount we have remaining. And it affects everyone.
Not "nobody should give them a job", just not a job with ability to do harm. But that's for every employer to decide for themselves.

If you don't think somebody having done X before makes them more likely to do it again than normal people, I don't know. (More accurately, people who did X are more likely to be people who would do X again). We just have to disagree - but you can not enshrine such beliefs in law.

As I said, trust has to be regained, merely doing something you are forced to do anyways does not prove anything about your real attitudes.

> Are we comparing a person in one location to another? I thought we were talking about improvements year over year.

We're doing both. And in both metrics, the bottom are the best off today than ever before. Unfortunately, the bottom were really poor in the 20th century, so being better than that (while good), doesn't mean our work as a society is complete. But that's a welfare problem, not a "what is the system like for the average American" problem.

It's also worth noting that, in America, the bottom 3 quintiles are extremely underrepresented in the highest COL metros. That's just not where they're concentrated. Given the purchasing power disparity between US states, the variance in the US-level data is probably too wide to be useful, and you kind of have to compare from State-to-State -> https://www.advisorperspectives.com/dshort/updates/2019/12/1.... Once you account for that, the root causes also become easier to identify — predominately local land use policy.

You can find 30-60" 1080P "dumb" TVs for >$400 relatively easily, but 4K/8K/bigger panels are almost always "smart". These big modern panels are a commodity and the manufacturers snap them up to use in the fastest selling models.

Hopefully in the next 2-10 years we will see a renaissance of high quality affordable dumb TVs as people continue to learn about data collection/ads/etc
I do. 75" version. Was budget price, decent picture. Only gripe is that it's slow to turn on versus my other TVs. Is otherwise solid, though isn't used often, but have had it for ~2-3 years now I believe and no major complaints.
I'm not suggesting it demeans women to speculate.

But, in a nutshell, I am dirt poor and cannot seem to escape poverty in spite of apparently being the only woman to have ever spent time on the leader board of HN. Plenty of men have no problem using HN to network and make money. For me, it's mostly been a dead end in that regard.

And I get a zillion personal attacks and excuses when I say that, but if it is "just me" then explain to me where all the women "doing it right" are. Because I appear to manage to fit in here better than average in spite of my gender, yet cannot turn it into an adequate income even though that's an explicit goal of mine.

So when five million mostly men step over my body in the gutter and go "Meh, not my problem she can't afford to eat. It's not like I'm sleeping with her." it's pretty freaking dehumanizing.

And after eleven years here, I am quite clear that boils down to "Most men don't really want to engage me with me in a substantive and meaningful fashion if I am not going to sleep with them and even if I did sleep with them, I would merely be a sex object. They still wouldn't engage me meaningfully in a lot of the ways I want to be engaged."

That opinion is based on 55 years of living, lots of reading and yadda. It's not an uninformed or knee jerk opinion by any stretch of the imagination.

Eleven years ago, I showed up here (on HN) all naively assuming I should be treated like a person simply because I am one and that's not been my firsthand experience of participating here.

I have purposefully not set up the smartTV features for any of my TVs, and on one of them I actually opened it up and removed the WiFi card.

It's not exactly rocket science to plug in an NVidia Shield TV or an Amazon Fire Stick, so I don't really mind using those, but I don't like having any kind of implicit spying being done to me by my TV...I kind of feel like TVs should remain a "neutral" platform.
But that’s not the point that is made against flatpaks - the point made in the article is “it allows access to the home directory, so it’s worse.”

Whether flatpaks is better or worse than packages depends on many other factors. Flatpaks allow software providers to package for multiple operating systems in one package, for example. This makes software available that otherwise wouldn’t be. Whether that’s worth it or not is debatable, but raising clearly invalid points to attack flatpaks is disingenuous.
That's why I do think we should ban digital ads. This didn't any good for humanity.
I bought a TCL Roku TV and thankfully the only ads are on the home screen where you select the input or app.[a] I can’t imagine watching video from an input and the TV deciding I want an ad on top of my movie.

[a] I don’t delude myself into thinking this won’t change, but so far, I can just tune out (no pun intended) the ad on the side. Not to mention that the ads are of shows and movies, not products (which would be worse).
