The breaking changes don't change runtime behaviour, just the type checking. Its more like the the linter is getting stricter over time. Your test will still pass at runtime, but they might start failing at compile time.

Also, for the cost of dealing with a breaking linter once and a while it helps enormously with upgrading javascript libraries provided they have up to date type definitions. If an API changes you are immediately alerted to many of the places where your previous assumption are now wrong.

It also completely changes the way you write code. Often time you can just go to the leaves of your application, make the change you want, and then just follow the compiler errors all the way back up to the top. When it compiles there is decent chance that it will run successfully first time.
What do you mean? There is an overwhelming amount of evidence for the Big Bang. Unless you mean something other than the scientific consensus by the expression "Big Bang". And what do you mean by sell? The Big Bang used to be a fringe interpretation of the equations until the evidence rolled, not because it sounded appealing. Einstein famously introduced the cosmological constant so the equations would allow another interpretation (a static universe), which he just as famously regretted as soon as the expansion was measured.
Who is "we" here? Have you worked on a browser?
I was very interested in astronomy as a kid. I remember my mom taking me to visit the observatory as a kid. Somehow she got in contact with people there and I was able to tour other places.

While now I’m just a developer, it definitely sparked my curiosity and my like for science.

I have very fond memories of it.
They have incubated this chip arch in their iPhones for five years!
>it's that their pivot to services based revenue is not going well.

You deduced that from the "record breaking quarter breaking all estimations" part?
Not just music, games too

Which is why I like GOG
Completely nailed it. I need something with more grunt than the base prices here and apple don’t have a hold on that market because of expense. And they don’t hold the lower end market.

This is still a niche.
I’d go so far as to say “laptops of late”, thermal throttling isn’t unique to MacBooks.

My XPS15 regularly throttles and sounds like it’s about to take off.
Nice charts ... so performance per watt is indeed 10x better for S865 vs the Ryzen.
Well, the predictions that "they can't hold onto their market share, surely not at this prices, etc" have been going on for 20 years now...
A lot of people who have been banned from having the wrong opinions would like to host their videos somewhere... and some already do.

A useful app that I can think of is one that supports subscribing to various independent video publishing websites... but aggregates them in one app.
Even before HTTP/2 was standardised there were some strong arguments by Mike Belshe (co-creater of SPDY) and others that we should drop push

But it never happened and so made it into the H2 standard

If your father has somewhat fast, always-on internet you just build him a personal streamer box using a single-board computer (RPi etc) and an external drive. Put something like Airsonic on it and he can listen to his music, netcasts, audio books and internet radio stations anywhere he wants. Hook it up to his stereo - him being in his 70's he might still have one - and he can use it as a jukebox, playing through the speakers without having to fiddle with Bluetooth.
I bet Bumble is more successful as a social network for women than as a dating app. I’ve not had a single chat on it and I don’t expect to ever get one. But hey, you can swipe right on Sharon Stone and a bunch of hot instagrammers! A man would probably get more value out of an hour on a random onlyfans than a year on Bumble.
I still buy CDs; my primary sources of new music are Bandcamp and CDs. Books in print or DRM-free ebook; and I buy BluRay and DVD movies, too.

I've experienced numerous beloved shows come and go from Netflix, some which I have no idea where to stream. That behaviour is fine for when I'm effectively channel surfing, but when I have a specific experience in mind it's garbage.

I don't trust buying DRM-laden content from most retailers because of the stories of accounts being locked or purchases being removed.

And then there's that I spend enough time traveling in poor-cellular regions...

I swear, DRM'd streaming just simply isn't suitable for _cherished_ experiences.
can i psychoanalyze you for a sec here and ask you to delve into why that makes you uncomfortable?

for context, to me (lifetime atheist) it looks roughly equivalent to someone sticking some hippie nonsense in a blog post. not particularly relevant to the content but a bit of personal minutiae.

do you have a history with religion or situations where you felt pressured to conform to religious norms perhaps? or something else entirely?
It may be possible the variations are due to differences in the thermal environment when the tests were conducted. I would expect the pro and mini to beat the air as they should have better thermals, but that may only show up over longer term tests and environmental factors could win out in shorter tests. Just a theory.
I don't quite get how Apple could claim to be Thunderbolt-compatible with this sort of limitation in hardware, though.
Not to mention they could buy 10 x Spotify's whenever they want with change to spare...
They were waving their hands around a bit saying that in addition to on-package RAM with high bandwidth, they have done optimizations inside driver, OS and APIs to eliminate 1 or even 2 or more RAM to RAM copies for common tasks. So maybe there is a higher effective bandwidth when comparing to Wintel machines. It was very vague. Would love to read a detailed article comparing the systems.
Even if the Ryzen wins out, that would still be comparing a desktop CPU to a mobile one, using 105W vs 10W. It is incredible that we are making these comparisons. Apple outdid themselves.
The core of Google is its advertising business, search is but one of the ways they feed that beast.
What's observable.io? The domain doesn't seem to work.
Not to mention I believe the RAM is included on the M1 SOC.
thanks for that post. that and some other resources convinced me then that my time is better spent elsewhere.

in the post it says less then .1% connections in Chrome receive a push event. some people will always try out the cutting edge, but the fact it hasn't spread after several years is a pretty good indicator that it's not producing the expected results.

I don't know why things that are "nice to have, but not essential" and at the same time not really working need to be kept, just because they're in a standard. if it was essential I'd view it differently, but in this case I hope it gets dropped.
Comparing age with racial discrimination can only be done from privilege. Am I wrong assuming you are white?
Can you?

I'm a long time Spotify user and didn't know about this.

I know about https://support.spotify.com/us/article/listen-to-local-files... which isn't the same thing at all.
Around here we have a custom of letting your kid have a nap in the baby wagon outdoors, even in winter. I guess people started using baby monitors for that by now. When I was small, mum just left a window a bit open (1970-ish Sweden).

This is even done at daycare down to -15 degrees C. However they do have someone present next to the kids at most times.

There are lots of stories of swedish people going to USA and getting arrested for leaving their kid without supervision outside while being 5 meters away inside a store for five minutes. We are used to a bit more relaxed way of parenting I guess :-)
And software!

It's a drag to open Steam, or other, and find a game has stopped working because it can't auth with non-steam DRM, or a recent update has broken or removed features and the developer has abandoned the product.
X86 CPUs are not really "running" X86 ISA since Pentium Pro (1995), they are translating on-the-fly X86 instructions to microcode which is actually getting executed. ARM CPUs are also not executing ARM ISA directly and doing translation as well.

Simpler ARM ISA has advantages in very small / energy efficient CPUs since the silicon translation logic can be smaller but this advantage grows increasingly irrelevant when you are scaling to bigger, faster cores.

IMHO these days ISA implications on performance and efficiency are being overstated.
A co-worker did a PhD when he was 60+.
The issue is that personality can be faked, or even just show friction between “personality via delayed text media” and “personality in immediate conversation”. So the apps try to tone it down and just leave that side to the date experience.

> In what respect is Apple “locking down their software hard” with respect to these new Macs?

Locked bootloader only booting stuff signed by Apple.

So these CPUs can only be used to run MacOS, no Linux or other alternate open platforms.
Play Store identified as main distribution vector for most Android malware
If you're easily generating 200GB per month in photos and videos then a NAS would probably make more sense. But keep in mind the vast majority of people don't take that many photos.
On the non-Apple side, it will be interesting what AMD does with the 5nm node.
> the app doesn't let you play music with your screen off

It does, but without a subscription, only music you uploaded or purchased.
Nowadays, it's common to live in small places (apartments or studios); I'm thinking that the shelves and fridge space is a limitation.
The religious fanatism of Americans always gets to me. Even a damn motorcycle repair site starts with a bible quote.

Most of the time it's because the license has expired and the licensee doesn't think its worthwhile to renew.

That doesn't mean no one cares about it; it means that the licensee doesn't see profit in renewing it.

They know that most users will keep their subscription active despite the lost content.
There's going to be a AMD mobile version of the 5000 generation soon and when looking back at 4000 generation their single core (boost) performance is going to be virtually the same as the desktop variant.

Desktop CPUs differ from the mobile CPUs mainly in how much can they boost more/all cores.
Certainly for an at-will contract they could have some influence, as they could always fire anyone who lives farther than, say, 10 minutes away. Then their challenge would be to find enough workforce within that 10 minute radius. For a low paid on-site job located in an expensive city center, that could be hard.

I'm sure there would be all sorts of loopholes and weird situations in paid commutes. But there are also many of them in the remote tax suggested by the article. For instance, what would happen if a company officially says "no, you have to come to the office" but then in practice does nothing to enforce the rule?

Also, as a curiosity, where I live, there's a tax deduction for commute costs. Obviously, it's fine-tuned so that most people don't get to use it (i.e. would be so small that the effort to claim it exceeds the benefit), and so that you can never recover all your practical expenses. But some of those who have become remote workers because of COVID have lost access to that deduction.
Nope, that study is about survival of patients with his form of cancer and hepatic metastases. As far as I'm aware the cancer in Jobs was detected long before hepatic metastases.
Even if it's used internally it doesn't mean it's not beta/buggy. Intel releases regular microcode patches and has issues with all their existing experience. This is apple's v1 which was in the pipeline for over a year. The designers are likely months into working on v2 already - that cycle is very long.

"Don't upgrade MacOS to x.0 version" is already a common idea. Why would it be any different for their hardware?
Hey, don't hold our heritage against us and rather swing by our Valley office when C-19 allows us to meet.

On the subject of price - I fully agree with you - the price for sure can't be justified just by energy savings. It's a completely different product, with totaly different features and use cases. And yes, using it just for reading the news is costly.

I do like I how it looks tho, but that's just me. :)
Policy makers have to contend with making the right choices and keeping popular so they remain in power. Often the right thing to do for the long term isn't the popular choice.

In the UK many people complain about the NHS and how it is underfunded, but that would require a raise in taxes which would be political suicide.
it's probably <20s short tasks, if you run the CPU/GPU at full load for extended periods the thermals kick in and the M1 Macbook Air without fan will reduce clock speed.

iPad pro - the current 2020 gen iPad pro has A12Z (essentially the same chip as 2018 A12X with extra GPU cores) - significantly older chip than A14. I think there will be an A14 iPad Pro refresh with mini led display in early 2021.
So what, scroll to the next article, every article posted may be an improvement, may be there is something done in a new way. Every human has his own way od doing things.
I put my 80+gb mp3 collection on OneDrive; and I rsync that to my phone after ripping new CDs.
PVS-Studio for Indie Developers
Yes, those are widely known fact. There are aspects of the ISA that do constrain performance and cannot be easily worked around, eg the memory model which is more relaxed on ARM.
Apple iCloud
Mine doesn't throttle when the ambient temperature is below 21°C, but throttles almost immediately if the ambient temperature is above 24°C.
That sounds awesome, mind linking the product?
Thank you! :)

That's a question that's looms over every new company and open-source project.
I don't think Firebase will go down this route, it's a very different offering to what they already have, and any encrypted stuff will be incompatible with the rest of it. There's also Google's (rightfully earned) bad public image when it comes to privacy, which will limit adoption.

In addition, being open-source is very important for a solution revolving around data ownership and privacy, something that Google will just not do. Our plan is therefore to continue building the best open-source project we can and let the developers decide.
Debian stable.

Whatever project you have, figure how to install things per project and not system wide.

I use pyenv and pyenv virtualenv for python, rvm for ruby, nodenv for node. For node, figure how not to use -g.

Surprisingly an annoying one is PHP so I just have VMs that I use for it.
They are going to sell these things like cup cakes ... why buy a pc laptop when these are around?
For me I tried the youtube music, found that it was heel bent on playing me videos I didn't want to watch and immediately switched to Amazon prime.

I'm sure you can avoid the music video aspect but I could be bothered figuring that out after enforced disruption to my app habits and so just changed provider.
What? Multiplexing HTTP and other traffic was the entire argument justifying HTTP/2 and 3 complexity with multistatus etc. That server push was never going to work was clear from even a cursory look at the protocol spec and a minimal use case involving two subsequent page loads with shared resources. Was it really necessary for Google to foobar HTTP?
Armenian forces tried to fight conventionally in open terrain against an enemy who had air superiority and fared like every other force that's done the same.

It’s not rocket science to get a response on there. Ditch selfies. Show your best self. Smile. You’ll get a match...

Bumble is definitely more popular among my female friends. There are a lot of “fake” profiles too, profiles created with the intention of getting you to follow their Instagram, but there are real profiles out there with real people on the other side. Bumble is one of the many dating apps I tried after my divorce and it’s the one I have the most success with. I’m not a model so Tinder doesn’t work. I’m not interested in diving into another marriage so eharmony and hinge don’t work. I tried the league but I’d rather eat dog shit than listen to a 1%’er cry about money problems.

Woman just want dogs. Men just want a woman. Men, get a dog.
I'm pretty sure it's an open secret that paid Tinder is definitely helping out their users in various obvious (e.g. see who swiped you) and non-obvious ways (e.g. more favorable matching algorithms).

Not sure if it's a bad thing either, as the common saying goes: if you're not paying then you're the product and non-paying Tinder users are there to prop up paying ones. The only down-side I'd argue is mentally hurting ignorant people with self-image but I think Tinder is doing good amount of effort explaining this.
Server noise aversion isn't only a female thing. I'm male, and replace my home server fans with blessedly quiet Noctuas, and the 24/7 servers are usually passively-cooled Atoms, or running on repurposed OpenWrt SOHO routers.

BTW, although severs-at-home techies seem to be disproportionately male right now, maybe it doesn't hurt to mention that servers are equal-opportunity. For example, I know at least a few women with servers at home. One even used to have one of the fridge-sized Cray supercomputers at home, just because. Another one, when I saw a K8s-at-home post a few days ago, she was the first person who came to mind to send it to, since she's the most enthusiastic, besides being a recognized technical expert on some related enterprise architecture. It feels a bit silly to articulate examples, but seems that people (and kids, especially), subconsciously pick up on signals about what we are supposed to do, and those signals can be misleading.
Should be tagged (2004) in the title.
accounts-daemon.service is a potential security risk. It is part of AccountsService, which allows programs to get and manipulate user account information. I can’t think of a good reason to allow this kind of behind-my-back operations, so I mask it.

sudo systemctl stop accounts-daemon.service && sudo systemctl disable accounts-daemon.service

That orange glow was actually terrible white balance because of the context I took the photos. I Should have corrected those pictures, that orangy hue is not how it looks.

And if cartoons, graphic novel panels, newspapers rendered on e-ink don't seem like "anything even resembling art" to you that's fine. It's the most subjective thing in the world, but there are a lot of people who do.

My photos were not meant to be representative of the peak of how good the screen can look, else I'd have taken them again.

[edit: typo]
Because they're expensive and the best selling laptops are half the price?
The Jim Keller effect. He was involved in architecting both Ryzen and this.
I know you said this sarcastically. The custom GPU is going to be a huge roadblock to get anything graphical to render. Probably never going to happen.

Add: actually never say never. Consoles with custom GPUs have been very successfully emulated. So maybe someday.
ehhhh that comparison is pretty weak. you get to choose how much you care about being "discriminated" against for your interests. you don't get to choose how racial discrimination impacts you.
In Berlin, Mysterious Dwellings Hidden Amid the Trees
I have about 20TB of data on several external hard disks / nas / machines. Due to some disks failures I had to move these data and believe me I wish I had 10GB Ethernet so that transfers don't take literally days.
It's not my cup of tea either, but it's one of the things I like about this site. It represents a previous era of the internet, when people put whatever they wanted up on their personal sites.

Nowadays we're all carefully curating an image, crafting our messages, and optimizing our content to fit our audience. This guy is not interested in any of that. He has something to say so he says it. He doesn't seem to care much how it's perceived, he's not trying to make money off of it, he doesn't care how it looks or if it has good SEO (at least as far as I can tell...). He's just being himself, with all his quirks and oddities.

I think that's why it's so popular on HN right now. It reminds us of the way the web used to be.
Benchmarks came in and I stared at an older 2013 MBP 15” and decided, “Yup! Time to upgrade”. Tons of others at my work are looking at these with drool coming from their mouths. 2020+ is going to be the decade of extreme-computing on ARM I guess.
I use the just-in-time method of building things. I was spending the time before he was born building the changing tables and dressers for all his clothing.
> implementation in C++ rather than a nice functional language for dogfooding

To be fair, the main author of Lean has been cloistered for two years writing the next version, Lean 4, which is written in its own (pure functional) language. The siren song is strong :)
I was using it. I still want to own the shit I buy. I don't want to subscribe to a service just to rent shit. I know where subscribe cancer eventually goes.. To exclusives and to having to subscribe to tons of services just to get the shit you want. And of course you have to have a internet connection and what not. I just want to buy the music and have it on my device.

My google play music yesterday killswitched itself so I installed "simple music player" from f-droid and took my google play purchases from google takeout. Good riddance.

Also youtube music absolute sucks with its sound quality and ads.
You’re right... these M1 MacBooks ARE half the price of a high end pc laptop AND are 4x-12x the performance. :D
An avenue that can be useful to explore - and my personal preference for home (quiet) gear - is professional workstations. They're often server grade gear, but in a tower form factor and made for low noise output. They can be pretty cheap on Ebay.

For example, the Dell Precision 7810. Ebay (US) examples:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-7810-Dual-Xeon-E5-2680-V4-32GB...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Precision-T7810-Dual-CPU-Xeon-Works...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Precision-T7810-Workstation-2-...

Those look pretty good CPU wise, also having dual E5-2680's. They're the newer v4 revision though (more cores) and also leave plenty of room in the budget for upgrades (ram, ssd).

---

If you specifically wanted server gear for some reason though, enterprise (server) gear generally have tower models.

Careful research is needed though, to make sure you're getting something that isn't too noisy. ;)

More dual Xeon Ebay (US) examples:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PowerEdge-T620-2x-Intel-Xeon-E...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PowerEdge-T620-Server-Dual-6C-...

Those both would leave plenty of room for upgrading the ram to 64GB, and (depending on their purchased options) may also come with remote KVM. Note that I haven't personally mucked around with Dell server gear in years, so no idea of their KVM situation these days. ;)

For that model (PowerEdge T620) specifically, it's noise seems potentially workable after it gets past the first part of server boot:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaQr2WFKq74

Note that although I'm just showing Dell gear here, HP, Lenovo, etc all have their own lines. eg HP Z840. With a bit of Ebay searching, it's possible to find some really good deals. :)
Add O2 sensors to it?
Me too. I would love my job to be "clean up tech debt all day"

I guess the disconnect is between "what is the monitor used for" vs "what can a baby monitor producer be sued for". Their worst case is the worst possible litigious customer.

Although I don't get why the engineers argue that one rather than lawyers. It's a disclaimer / liability issue, not a technical one. We know the tech will fail at some point.
