You don't even have to reach for SIMD to get better performance. Just stop letting crappy software get written.

I'm currently agonizing over an application that has an 80-120ms response time for 5 hops (including db writes). Yet I know many people who code in my language would find that number amazing for the work being done in those hops.

No SIMD. Nothing too crazy. Just well thought out processing flow and proper separation of the stupid.
I find it a total branding win from Apple that people are even discussing this. To me it is a clear loss to the customer and to the environment. You only have to go on any Apple forum to see people getting their power bricks and cases shipped separately from their iPhones. Its beyond my pay grade to calculate the extra emissions from those power bricks being shipped separately, assuming not every new iPhone purchase is accompanied by a power brick purchase, but the profit margin for Apple went up for sure.

This is the new normal. Sealed hardware to discourage battery replacement, no 3.5mm jack to discourage reuse of old headphones and to encourage sales of Airpods with their tiny 2 year batteries, and now, no power bricks to encourage sales of extra power bricks. All greenwashed and the idiot consumer buys it.
Except it doesn't work in a ton of cases. I've tried for days.

I dunno. It's good to know that it's contested, but all the intelligence organs (from both sides) denying a hacking took place is how things always go.

They denied that the Stuxnet was a cyberweapon too, for years after all the details were public known.

That said, the argument that there wouldn't be a computer controlled pipeline in 1982 is kinda strong. If I were interested enough on the history, I'd start looking from there.

Of course my reading of the relative position of Germany in public perception after WWI might be wrong, but my understanding from the record is that it was still relatively considered ok, and that there was lots of public sympathy for Germany due to the feeling that the Treaty of Versailles had been unfair. So my feeling in the 30s a German / British comparison in the American imagination would not have been so favorable to Britain and so antipathetic to Germany as it would be today.

Fedora QA has gotten a ton better in the last years. I would use it as my daily driver if work would allow it, we're an all Ubuntu shop (at least for Linux devices).
As a linux only gamer, I wouldn't say "nearly every game". Proton has normal wine issues. Check ProtonDB for a compatability rating before buying any windows game on steam.

Most all of the games worth playing (factorio, subnautica, KPS etc) either have native linux clients or work fine via proton/wine, but the latest and greatest non-indi titles generally don't. Anti-cheat/DRM/spyware is a linux killer because it wants to inspect the operating system during play. Whatever the latest batman game is called... it probably doesn't work.

I have an object called TransportMaster, with concrete implementations X_TransportMaster, Y_TransportMaster, Z_TransportMaster. The application instance may contain any number of any mixture of these objects, and they may be created and destroyed at any time by the user. Their use within the application is also subject to the user's whims.

Why would a TransportMasterManager, which provides factory methods, enumerations, a collection of the current set of TM's, and knowledge of the current user choice for which TM's is being used for what, have "no place" in this design?
With this architecture, it feels like the very outermost level - the framework and drivers - would ideally have little or no application-specific logic in it whatsoever, and would exist simply to glue together the various functional components with I/O and distribute them to whatever computational resources are required for their execution.

This, to me, feels very very similar to a model-based approach, where the outermost level is a modeling framework that does nothing more than route data between different functional components and IO components.

I have a strong hunch that this outermost layer does not need to consist of anything more than a suitable framework plus some configuration data specifying (a) the mapping from functional components to hardware resources and (b) the data flow between functional components.

If this is indeed the case, then, extracting individual components or subsets of the system for testing should simply be a matter of providing a suitable transformation of the configuration data, and re-executing the framework.
Right, if we forbid one technology that's dangerous, we must also forbid any technology that could in any way be used in a negative manner, right?

Cars can be used to run people over, better forbid those. A hammer can cave someone's head in, better forbid that. People can drown in water, better forbid that too. After all, we wouldn't want to be inconsistent.

It's not like we would ever consider using any kind of judgement and conclude that the benefits outweigh the risks for some things. That's just silly.
Ok make any kind of verifiable prediction about this and we will see if it happens or not.

I don't think this holds true anymore. It takes Apple some time to get their cloud offerings right, but eventually they do. iCloud works pretty good these days. iCloud photos is pretty slick and just works.

I'm sure Apple has done analysis... to see how many USB-C chargers they'll be able to sell. And has likely provided training to staff accordingly to get accessories sales up. Where the customer may have been happy with the 5W charger and crappy earphones included in the box, it'll be a MUCH easier upsell to a fast charger and good earphones now.

Yes; the Queen's own (extensive) property would remain hers, but the Crown Estate would almost certainly remain with the state. It's a holdover from the days when there was little separation between the King's own money and the government's, and the King paid the expenses of government himself.

How likely is it that Apple would relinquish those 15% to 20% of their profits that are now coming from Google? Not very I would guess.

I could see them coming up with some sort of privacy friendly ad targeting system using on-device matching or differential privacy.

It's about the relative freedom of the market.

A hammer has well known metallurgical properties, so anyone can make one. You don't care whom you buy from, but you buy a cheaper, hopefully better made hammer because nobody tries to fleece you for a 100$ hammer.

In the world with only commercial knowledge of hammers, they cost 10G, people spend many years and invest much capital into going to hammer school, and maybe even you just rent a hammer at a 13G a year rate with support. Nevermind the cost for say, a screwdriver.
> Also another good reason for people not to seek mental help, on top of being able to own a gun.

Your feeling is well-founded, as much as you are being downvoted. This is actually a huge topic in the ongoing evolution of digitizing client records in psychotherapy.

My wife (a marriage and family therapist) was taught in school that about 20 years ago insurance started requiring a diagnosis to reimburse for treatment, and ongoing treatment plans to be uploaded to their portal to continue reimbursing more than the standard 3-6 sessions most insurers felt was adequate.

This cause a HUGE backlash among psychotherapist, because depression would be considered a pre-existing condition, and also if it is on your records, life insurance was nearly impossible to secure, future non-workplace health insurance was hard to get, etc.

So everyone started using various "adjustment disorders", or acute grief (I think that's the term they use for loss of a loved one) as an ethical way around marring an otherwise healthy persons permanent record. There are times when it is more ethical to put a real diagnosis, usually so that you can have them referred to a more specialized clinician.
A very, very small amount of your search queries would be even tangentially related to Apple. Right now, Google has all the incentive of directing traffic away from quality websites and onto pages that fit their plans. AMP gets promoted to reward publishers who publish content in a strict Google -flavoured format. Pages with Google ads can be promoted if Google detects good ad engagement in them. Websites are totally diluted with ridiculous amount of useless blabla become SEO is the way. Just try to find any recipe these days. Virtually all pages make you scroll through 50 paragraphs of foreplay before the actual content appears.

I dislike Apple. I'll never buy Apple. But Apple might just create the best search engine there is, with the right incentives.

I suspect that's partly because the Queen is a symbol of Britishness, and partly because Elizabeth has been a really good constitutional monarch. (And I say that as an ardent Republican. I'd certainly elect her our first ceremonial president).

I agree completely. My take from the situation is much more that we are far far too lenient with our standards for cars, roads, and particularly drivers. We've set the bar so low that the technology has a good chance of clearing it soon but only serve to reveal how actually uncomfortable we are with such a low bar that we've normalized over time.

> Community will continue to be a broad term, but finally people and companies will fully grasp that an audience does not mean the same thing as a community.

This is a great point that deserves more attention.

There is a distinct difference between audience and community that I haven't seen discussed enough, particularly in regards to the state of the internet over the past ten years.

Without getting too optimistic, I'd place a bet that the transition to a community-focussed, opposed to audience-focussed, internet would do wonders for our current "fake news" phenomenon.
Unfortunately you need surprisingly little data to uniquely identify someone. For example, sex, date of birth, and zip code can uniquely identify a large swath of the general public.

Even with SSDs I still find dual booting to be painful enough to avoid.

Mainly because of how disrupting it is to have your dev environment torn down when you reboot and then having to set it all back up when you come back. Even with tmux and using resurrect it's not a seamless experience. This is an issue even with a few second turn around time on the dual boot itself.

Around 8 or 9 years ago I used to dual boot, then I transitioned to a Linux VM with Unity mode (vmware workstation's seamless mode to run apps in their own floating window) then to WSL 1 and now WSL 2. The only way I think things will get better is going native Linux with a GPU pass through KVM based VM running Windows to play games from Linux at native speeds without dual booting but it's a huge pain to set this up properly.

Oh, but in most cases there is something intrinsically evil about killing to defend yourself.

Like whenever you're not facing a murderous psychopath.

It's a tragedy when two people who have a gun feel the need to kill the other, over nothing more than the fear that the other might have and use one too. Even if one was breaking into the house of the other.

If you're a healthy human being you don't want to kill the intruder, you want to be safe. Neither does the intruder want to kill you, they want to get away with your stuff.

Two people not wanting to kill, being forced to kill simply by the presence, or even just the possible presence of a gun.

If you can't see the intrinsic evil in that, then I guess you must really think lightly about killing people.
Well, your comment was:

> The German subsidiaries of those companies, in Germany run by German citizens, still traded in Germany yes.

That sounds a bit simplistic, of course if the German government ceases their operation and severs ties to the US, there is not much to be done, on the other hand e.g. Ford employed slave labor even _before_ ties to the US company were cut [0].

While Nazi Germany is ultimately responsible for these atrocities; in my opinion: companies still have / should have a moral duty. Some companies are exploring their past, e.g. Coffee companies with their ties to human trafficking. I think we need more of that, even just acknowledging our past, because "with power comes great responsibility" and those large companies, more powerful as some smaller countries should be held accountable and should do everything to prevent abuse and exploitation.

You seem to focus on the economics only, I agree profit might not have been the right term, but if a company actively exploited people it shouldn't matter too much whether they turned a profit.

Yep, I know a company that sold over $1m in sales, and their account got banned overnight because someone asked if they sold custom products on a message on Amazon, and a company support rep replied that they could but not on Amazon and directed them to their eBay site.

They got insta-banned and delisted because Amazon does automatic scans of messages, and the Amazon AI determined that directing users away from Amazon was a severe ToS breach.

1 message out of the thousands that they send mentioned eBay, and suddenly that's automatic delisting with no way to appeal.
