Quite neat indeed, will give it a try. Curious to see how it compares to https://github.com/jcubic/lips and ClojureScript.
You’re quite right, I hadn’t properly thought through what patient means precisely. I edited my comment, thanks!
of course not, but the effort to bring real-time collaboration to native apps is much higher, e.g. MS Office's still-poor current experience compared with Google Docs's capabilities 5 years ago

Is the iPhone as useful as before? So it’s the same price as before.
I'm guessing a big part of it is the MASSIVE accessory ecosystem that's built around the iPhone.

People have docks, cases, chargers, cables, etc. that all work with Lightning.

I think also that USB-C is a more complicated protocol. Not all USB-C cables and ports are created equal and it could be a massive headache for them to deal with all the incompatibilities that might arise.
> Most programming challenges, even at FAANG-scale, ultimately decompose into some family of classic interview problems (usually a graph or a hash table.)

Most problems decompose into using a graph or a hash table (or an array), not implementing one. And the hard bit is usually things like translating the business requirements, architecting code to keep it maintainable over time, and dealing with buggy / opaque 3rd party systems.

Classic whiteboard interviews don't test these things at all.
Grayshift, the Startup That Breaks into iPhones for the Feds, Raises $47M
Didn't find this one compelling. "Some truth to it..."! Please, it's an industry-wide disaster, aka billion-dollar mistake.

Granted some of the test fashion is useful for computer scientists and the fraction implementing algorithms. But the other 80% are being selected for the wrong thing. These other folks that are curious could be trained on the job (the growth mindset) in a few weeks, if that were still a thing.
Though presumably the Ad Observer plug-in didn't sign up to Facebook's terms of service. If anyone's violating their terms it's probably the users who install the plug-in.
The same argument was made against banning single use plastic bags in supermarkets in Australia. People said that everyone would just continue to buy them and nothing will change. Turns out that most people did not keep buying them but instead took their old ones back to the store to reuse. Some people still buy them but overall there was a huge reduction.

When you give someone something for free they will take that option every time, charge just 15c for the bag and people will decide that they will bring back their old bags because its a small savings for almost no effort.

I also never see stray plastic bags floating around the street like I used to.
Everything I've seen suggests that neuroatypicals are over-represented in tech relative to the wider population. I'm not saying there isn't anything more to be done for them, but I expect they're still going to have a more welcoming environment in tech than just about anywhere else.
>> Second, companies exist for profit, and optimizing is not often the most profitable next step.

That's true and reasonable. And after this 5nm node, TSMC has 3nm and IIRC 2nm. We are at the point where throwing more hardware at slow software is becoming a non solution.

The good news is that in many cases there is a LOT of performance on the table on the software side.

Also, as the author points out (debunking their complaint immediately after issuing it, instead of simply removing the complaint from the article), you can use not only your previous iPhone's charger, but its cable (which obviously works with the charger).

Wall Street has little to do with this listing, which was unimaginable 5 years ago, as Jack Ma noted.
It means the control group: those not hospitalized with covid 19. This is a distinct idea from controlling for confounding factors.

They may have done that too for all relevant factors but we’d need to read the paper.
This is great, but I no longer feel that the macOS HIG represents usable design for anybody. Apple's native apps are confusing and inconsistent. XCode is perhaps the worst offender. (Is that because it's okay to ship sub-par experiences to developers? )

My opinion is that Google's UX is now best in class -- things like Google Docs that are just nearing perfection that everyone seems to have no trouble with. Youtube would be another example of a highly effective UI.

I do think native is quite overrated :)
It's still listed in the law that you're not allowed to insult royalty, but that does not appear to be enforced. For example, see Böhmermann insulting Erdogan on national TV:

Doubtful. I'm pretty sure every single motherboard has at least one USB-C port in the back, and most will come with the new USB-C header as a lot of the latest cases have a front USB-C port.
I applaud this person's effort and persistence. Many people have ideas, but many of those same people do not have the cajones to get it from paper to a product.

Make a purchasing decision?

There are value-conscious customers out there, many of which hang out on "deal hunting" sites even for luxury goods. Although the type of consumer willing to scrutinize the bill of materials in order to optimize the best specs per dollar is probably looking at Android.
For the record: My gf’s parents went out of their way to ensure she went to that specific school. I’m told it pretty much broke them financially to have the correct zip code.
The author contradicts himself in trying to argue that hiring isn't a crapshoot. On the one hand, he says the best hiring managers "didn’t chase the same pool of candidates everyone else was chasing—instead, they found non-traditional ways to discover really talented and motivated people who weren’t in the pool of usual suspects". But then in the very next paragraph he cites Google, Facebook, Stripe, and Dropbox as examples. Huh?

It's so misleading to cite BigCos as examples of excellent hiring, because the founders of the companies and the initial employees are never hired in the same way that their engineers are currently hired. They're usually just people who happened to know each other in a dorm. It's only after the company gets a bunch of funding that they need to fill seats with a bunch of warm bodies. But the success wasn't because of the assembly-line style hiring, it's the product idea and the personal qualities of the founders that drove the success of the company. Engineers throw themselves at those companies because of the compensation and prestige. It's not because they have a magical snowflake hiring process.
I don't have good stories (or rather, none that I would want to share), but I do have battle scars. Hiring is hard. It's really complex to get right, and I spent years tuning the process.

Having done both, I'd much rather be on the hiring end than the candidate end. But as the hiring manager, I mostly just felt weariness at the process.
The fetishization of Google (specifically their interview process) has really hurt the industry and caused a lot of unnecessary stress for a lot of engineers.
I guess the definition of code is missing; as a coder, all the graphical settings etc is also code and in that sense, there simply are no no-code solutions. But if we say configuration (with dropdowns and checkboxes and such) vs code is no-code then there are and I have seem these work in actual companies. We delivered quite a lot of these when I still did that type of thing; for instance, a lot of the internal (intranet) software for political parties and unions in my country we just generated with our own point/click code generator. It was simply crud with roles/permissions etc on top of their internal (ms-sql or access at the time) and many of these applications were used for many years internally. But I agree ; if you call a spade a spade, only 'low-code' exists and no-code shouldn't be used. That's fine.

I guess 'useful' is in really who you are asking; people working in department X in country Y of huge intl corp Z are usually not very happy what the 'headoffice' bestows upon them as software packages. Restrictive, everything has to be coordinated with those scary people from IT etc etc. To be able to change that without breaking the bank can be very empowering and has been the domain the domain of low-code (and no-code) tools forever; from Excel, MS-Access to Wordpress to less well known systems.

One of the biggest electronics retailers in the EU has a central, restrictive, very annoying massive enterprise CMS which is pushed down by the headoffice; every local country started pushing out WP sites; low code (html/css (they have to use the house-style, so they copy that from the main site), the rest is plugins and some shortcodes) needed and cheap while not having to wait for 6 weeks for permission to change 1 sentence 'by IT in the homeland'.
It wastes less electricity than normal Qi wireless charging because it can line up the coils more perfectly.

> However, Facebook does have the obligation to not share info of users who didn't explicitly consent to it with third party apps

But Facebook is not sharing info of users' friends. Users are sharing information about their friends.

If a user should not be able to access particular information about their friends, then the onus is on Facebook to restrict that access. It was Facebook's fault for exposing excessive data to users' friends during the Cambridge Analytica scandal and it's their fault for doing the same thing now.

Facebook needs to clean up their own mess instead of suing research groups for taking advantage of it.

I think you may be an outlier in owning only one lightning cable. I just looked in my desk drawer and counted 5, and I can think of 3 more in other areas of my house and car.
I respect them for sticking to this, but I think it's a mistake. It's clear users in general don't care about an app being pure Mac OS controls/SDKs/etc. and their claims about it being a truly superior UX are unfounded (having used both regularly, Figma disproves that heavily). With this, Sketch isn't available on Windows nor the web (until very recently it seems?).

I wouldn't die on that hill.

One thing that most people, including the OP, don't seem to understand is that the heavy process and rigid structuring of the FAANG interviews is to transform the "Optimal Stopping Problem" (aka the "Secretary Problem") from one of of ordinal evaluation to one of cardinal evaluation.

Extracting a cardinal evaluation goes a long way towards solving the "Optimal Stopping Problem" more tractable and efficient.

I think it is more or less certain that Apple has a multi-year plan in action to exit China.

Companies in the huge Apple supply chain been getting nudged more, and more with each year by Apple to consider relocating either to Taiwan, or Vietnam.

P.S. I believe Foxconn is the one, and only company in the world of this size to be ever caught doing "third-shifting"
How is left recursive grammar handled in the C language
That has to do with order. Insulting people is not considered orderly, hence the possible penalties. You can however insult people using the language twisted the right way and not pose yourself at risk. I wouldnt call this concept reduction of free speech, when in fact all it takes away is the liberty to insult someone in certain ways.
Assume we move over to electric vehicles (like Tesla) as the default mode of transportation at some point in the future, will that solve this problem?

In other words, is our ability to generate electricity for all the electric vehicles more efficient and better for the earth than how we currently power them with gasoline?
Of course, starting now is better than starting later to get the effects.

That said, I can totally imagine people downing a megadose of vitamin D, declaring themselves immune, and going out to lick doorknobs immediately.
I’m skeptical of no-code solutions because every once in a while, a user does
something really problematic without knowing that they do — this isn’t a criticism
of the user; how can they be expected to understand, let’s say, security, if they
don’t have a rudimentary understand of cryptography or client/server models?

A more physical analogy is that I do DIY — including internal wiring of the house. I’m
comfortable doing that because I’ve read through the whole of the regulations and have
a degree-level education in Physics and understand the risks. If a stranger asked
me whether they could wire their house through Youtube videos I still wouldn’t
happily say yes — even though theoretically there’s enough good information out
there to wire a house.
I suppose we're talking about a distinction between it being true that this decision will reduce waste, and this decision being primarily motivated by the desire to reduce waste. You seem to be saying "well yeah, they're reducing waste, but only because it's profitable for them." Shouldn't that be a good thing?! I would certainly prefer a world where decisions which tend to be good for the environment tend to also be good for business.
Yes.. what is the base rate of vitamin D deficiency in the general population?
Yes, it's pretty obvious that management at this company and org is actively and preferentially hiring talent from India based on my lived experience. And note there wasn't a single Black or Hispanic American candidate in the pipeline that I got to screen. Not one.
They also moved OLED to the regular phone and added 5g. Without internal information its impossible to know what cost what. I doubt the brick and airpods cost anything more than $4.
I don't understand what would possess anyone to hand over their wifi creds to a TV. Sounds like you should change your wifi pass.
And the problem there is? Any one of those companies are all long term TSMC customers and I have no doubt have solid working relationships with them. They would have had similar opportunity to book that fab capacity too.
Well, with USB-C you've got two holes that can fill up with junk, not just one. The Lightning port is at least easy to clean with common household items: toothpick and ear swabs.

You may think that, but it's a standardized term already.
Deciding Your Tech Stack
From your experience, what were the challenges with picking and implementing your companies tech stack? Anything you wish you did differently?
If the populace are better educated, informed, and engaged, then having policies which are more evidence-based than your opponents' is more likely to get a greater vote share. This shifts the direction of the arms race away from senseless posturing and towards actual policy debate.

That's the idea at least, and I think it's worth considering. But yes, speaking as someone looking in to the US from outside, a more proportional voting system would also do wonders for your democratic legitimacy.
Is Marko the ONLY framework with this feature? Surely there's some more.
I see where the author is coming from, certainly. But, you have to realize, most hiring discussions on HN end up emphasizing the candidate's perspective. From my POV as an interviewee, I don't actually care about any of these myths. What I do care about is being tested fairly, using problems and scenarios that could come up in real work, not whether I can regurgitate some DP algorithm.

IMO, this is what's lacking in most interview processes I have participated in, and most of these issues can be fixed by following a structured interview process. As a side benefit, you may end up with better candidates, as well. At the very least, you can actually tell if the candidates you choose to hire are as good or better than other people who have gone through your interview process, and that's worth something.
On the recent IBM z processors, eDRAM is used even for the L1 chip. And that's above 5GHz.
Bash tip I picked up from observation - always start a potential command with #

I work on a x86 interpreter that is only usable because of Apple's massive investment into these chips over the last couple years. I doubt that is what Apple was designing them for, but they are very useful to have as an application developer.

> That was Friday. On Monday morning that Training department didn't exist. All 6 employees dismissed instantly

Without more context, it's hard to know if that response was laudable or horrifying. If this was an ongoing pattern of behavior, then it's good they finally did something.

If this was the big boss making a show by firing employees for laughing at their manager's inappropriate joke bu not reporting it to HR by the end of the day, then that's a pretty horrible place to work.

The person who made the joke and his manager need to go, but the rest of the team? That's a harder case to make.
But now it's just the iPhone. It used to be the iPhone + earbuds and plug. It's objectively less product.
Now you are replying with a double-down on your original thesis “but the real reason is the massive savings they will get on logistics”?

Sure, add all the logistics costs in your head using some heuristic (security is a big component you are missing). Now compare that number to the profit of selling an extra charger, or the BOM price of a charger.

HN is a community of thinkers and you will be judged by your responses to criticism. Learn from your mistakes, or back up your opinions with some numbers and calculations so we can learn from you.

It's never "both sides" unless someone's actively trying to push a wedge issue for political gain. It's almost always "lots of varied ways to be wrong, and one way we're pretty sure is right" and if you try to present them all, the one that's right gets drowned out in the volume of dross. Journalism must be curation or there's no point.
I do the same thing. All of my scripts have a -defang parameter which walks through the entire process, including placeholder log messages, but not actually performing the operation. My run books always say to run your exact command with this switch first, to proofread it. For some dangerous scripts, defang is enabled and has to be manually turned off. Defang is also nice because it will tell you e.g. here’s the size of the backup you’ll be restoring, or the filepath you’ve composed based on your parameters, or confirming that you’ll be replacing an existing thing instead of creating a new one. It has saved me many, many times.
Then read the paper.

I think you're onto something here. AMD is likely seeing the end of the road for their CPU business within the next decade, since it will run up against physics and truly insane cost structures that will come after 5nm. At the same time we're far past the practical limit wrt ISA complexity (as evidenced by periodic lamentations about AVX512 on this site). The only real way to go past all of that right now is specialized compute, reconfigurable on demand, deployment of which is hampered by the fact that it's very expensive and not integrated into anything, so the decision to use it is very deliberate, which in practice means it rarely ever happens at all. Bundle a mid-size FPGA as a standardized chiplet on a CPU, integrate it well, provide less painful tooling, and that will change. Want hardware FFT? You got it. Want hardware TPU for bfloat16? You got it. Want it for int8? You got it. Think of just being able to add whatever specialized instruction(s) you want to your CPU.

I'm not sure this is worth $35B, but if Lisa Su thinks so, it probably is. She's proven herself to be one of the most capable CEOs in tech.

I probably will buy this game in January, but it bothers me to get a game that if I play 10 years later when the original updating service is no longer active, it may not be playable.
About 45% of the US population has Vitamin D deficiency. It's higher among some populations (elderly as they are more likely to be home-bound, African American as darker skin inhibits UV absorption, obesity due to adipose tissue storage, etc). Those of us further North are more likely to be deficient as well due to decreased exposure during much of the year and being inside or bundled more in winter months.
There's no way to see what these third parties actually access of your data. I don't think anything substantial has changed since CA to ameliorate this.

I own more than 1, but they all get used regularly. There's one on my nightstand, one in my car, and one in the office. I can swap them around, but that doesn't solve the problem - at the time I'm ready to buy a new phone, one of them is worn out.
