1) I live here so I know what I'm talking about. Either way, anecdotes are useless.

2) What is this nonsense about group A and B? Are we responsible for our ancestors? Are you prepared to say everyone in group B is responsible for any and all harm they collectively do? The answer is no, you would elect to treat people as individuals instead, so it seems it's you that treat the different groups differently by assigning collectively responsibility to only one of them.

3) "can't see color" is absolutely the correct way forward. We've spent decades proving that what you look like has nothing to do with your talents, motivations, interests, passions and character. We will never progress forward if you continue to discriminate and treat people by the very characteristic you claim is being used to discriminate.

4) The system is nothing but laws. Anything else would be up to how a specific individual deals with those laws, which is a problem with that person and not the system.

5) Anecdotes are useless. The travel ban is not what you claim it was, but perhaps you should look at how members of that religion handle racism first. You won't find any multiculturalism there, that's for sure. As a foreign-born naturalized US citizen, I don't support birthright citizenship either. It's unique to only the US and Canada, not the norm, and repealing it would solve many problems.

6) I don't hate left-leaning American's. This is your projection, clouded by your bias and judgement. I only hate policies that enact the very discrimination they aim to solve, created by people who are ignorant in the problems they aim to fix while ignoring all consequences of those solutions and further blocking any potential discussion or feedback.

7) No, the modern left is not responsible for any of that. America is a melting pot and has been for centuries. This is not some new development, it existed for generations before you and there are no serious attempts to stop it. Again you keep using anecdotes to say a few people are representative of the whole. Is there a country without criminals? Does that mean we all commit crime? Clearly not, so why don't we look at what actually is the reality instead.
New contractors tend to encounter mediocre to bad potential clients. Because good clients have regular work and adequate budgets, existing contractors are already working with them (the regular work part) and existing contractors are moving heaven and earth to keep those clients (the adequate budget part). Good clients have long term relationships. As do established contractors.

It is a long game. Deep pockets to ride out cycles are helpful. Because of relationships.

A common mistake is pursuing clients with little money. There is a sound business reason established contractors don’t work for people with no money. New contractors do it as a way of avoiding competition. But there’s only so much runway to fritter on a dead end strategy.

In your case it sounds particularly dead end because the projects are undercapitalized. This makes them even less likely to succeed. It means the founders are less likely to be plugged into a network of well capitalized further opportunities. And your role is central to the success, under resourced, and requires working with “amateurs” (as opposed to founders with successful fundraising track records...never mind exits).

In short you need better clients and time spent doing work for lousy clients is both easier and less productive than time spent pursuing good clients. Good luck.
> The societal failings like prisons existing in the first place?

Prisons existing is not a societal failure. You can't have a society with 330 million people and not have at least 1 murderer who is relentlessly violent, who needs to be physically confined to protect everyone around them. As soon as you have 1 individual like that (which is almost guaranteed by the law of large numbers irrespective of how good that society is), you've already agreed that some kind of prison (whether or not you label it as such) is necessary.

Every large country has some kind of supermax prison, including Scandinavian countries, because it's a simple reality that individuals like the above exist in small numbers.
Text Compression as a Test for Artificial Intelligence (1999) [pdf]
It's ~$21k. https://smartasset.com/taxes/paycheck-calculator#5UaGLn7scu

You're not including taxes - no one cares about mortgage in itself. If you include taxes, it's closer to $8k and then you gotta get insurance (which is going to vary wildly by thousands based on where the home is located). If you're unfortunate with taxes + insurance, your monthly payments could end up being as high as $9-10k/month.

> Not only that, but we're talking about salaries for ONE SINGLE PERSON. Married in tech? We're talking a $900k annual salary. Calling this lifestyle "very economical" is so insanely out of touch with how most people live their lives, it's no wonder tech people are hated as completely out of touch.

Sure - if you can manage to get two 1%'er people together then you'll be living the high life but that's not something you should take as common place. Same with assuming that they'll both be working for their entire life before 65. That's like saying, "Imagine if you were Mark Zuckerberg and then married Mark Zuckerberg!!! You'd be doubly rich!"

Btw - if you're at that income - you have to save at least 25% of your net income for retirement and hopefully you do that at a very early age (like 30-35, if you're starting that savings rate at 45 then you're fucked). Social security won't even pay your property tax when you're retired. So, if you expect to live anywhere near your current lifestyle in retirement... you have to save a lot more (percentage wise) than most Americans.

I'm not saying you'll be poor but go look at what house you can get in a decent peninsula neighborhood for $1.5mil. You won't be impressed. You'll have a nice car and can afford some niceties but what you come home to will be a piece of shit compared to your income. e.g. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/856-15th-Ave-Menlo-Park-C...

>> but recognizing another player just means that they can speak at the same level as yourself.

Not levels. It is about experience rather than complexity. Law students, all students generally, get hung up on the minutia of a situation. Old hands see the bigger pictures. The law student will say "That doesn't come in because it is hearsay". The lawyers say "If the cops have it, it almost certainly will come in at trial somehow". The old hands don't bother with such discussions because they know a case is won or lost long long before evidentiary hearings.
Personal opinion, no insider info

I think it's a good CPU, but I don't think it'll be a great CPU. Judging by how heavily they leaned on the efficiency, I am pretty sure that it will be just good enough to not be noticeable to most Mac users.

Can't wait to see actual benchmarks, these are interesting times.
> I imagine they all are made with 16Gb on and the ones that are broken get sold as 8Gb.

that gets done for GPUs and CPUs because they're a monolithic die, but AFAIK that's not done for memory chips.
FWIW: I just wrote a long-ish post on the history from BPF (and before BPF) to eBPF and XDP:

https://fly.io/blog/bpf-xdp-packet-filters-and-udp/

An interesting fact is that packet filtering as a problem domain has been dominated by in-kernel virtual machines going back into the 1980s; it's an idea that comes all the way from Xerox.

> If I'm tired, it's necessarily because I'm mismanaging my work and time

Is it though? What if you are (always) on call? What if you get a message from your boss late evening asking for stuff for early morning? What if you have late night meetings or very early morning meetings (and what if both are present)? What if coworkers from other timezones are messaging you outside work hours (if you even have defined work hours) with 'urgent' requests?

Often, the time mismanagement is external.
I read somewhere about 15 years ago that the term was introduced when laptops would get so hot that the legal departments at laptop vendors started to worry about their liability if they kept calling them laptops and they got sued by someone whose lap got burned.

Now that Apple's laptops run much cooler, my guess is that they continue to say "notebook" because Apple owns an important trademark that ends in "Book".
Oh that's right there was the model without the touchbar that had two ports and was a carryover from 2017, thanks for clarifying
A better take on DI wireups in .NET: https://nblumhardt.com/2010/01/the-relationship-zoo/

A needs a B at some point in the future Lazy<B> Delayed instantiation
A needs to create instances of B Func<B> Dynamic instantiation
A provides parameters of types X and Y to B Func<X,Y,B> Parameterisation
A needs all the kinds of B IEnumerable<B> Enumeration

I've been using Airs as my primary machine since 2010. I don't use bulky software (XCode, Adobe suite, Office, etc), so if you use any of that I wouldn't recommend it, but for software dev it's been plenty fast and a real joy to use.

The only time I'm speed constrained is deep learning, but generally I just run tiny test sets locally and then run full jobs on a cluster or the cloud.

In the mid 2010's I had a desktop with like 64GB of Ram and four million processors, and I found programming on the Air I was still more productive. Productivity wise I think it's a very high dimensional space to consider.

(P.S. Can't wait to get this new Air!!!)
InfluxDB creator and lead for InfluxDB IOx here. Happy to answer any questions people might have. In short, it's an in-memory columnar database with object storage for persistence. It's a bunch of other things as well, but that's the main thrust of the project.
> we'll find ourselves with a system with a handful of highly vulnerable points of failure.

I'd say we have that now, since there may be 50 election systems, but we generally know which 5 are going to be important ahead of time. And that selection of states aren't necessarily the best equipped.
So they invest in a company and then they invest in a bunch of companies to raise the turn-over of the first company. Seems legit.
I dropped the Apple ecosystem many years ago, but the pricing never ceases to intrigue me.

230€ for 8GB to 16GB RAM. (and RAM is shared between CPU and GPU)

230€ for 512 to 1TB SSD.

They sure know how to milk their customers.

So while the starting price seems surprisingly low, an acceptably specced 13 pro comes in at 2139€. And that's without knowing how the GPU will hold up.

The presentation is brilliant marketing though and so much better than the competition. As long as you disable your brain for claims like "Universal Apps are the fastest and most powerful apps you can get!", and never mentioning specifics like the chips the benchmark actually compared with or what that game is that runs faster under emulation than native.
I'm not the person you replied to, but I frequently use the play/pause key and also the volume keys. I occasionally use the function keys in my text editor too.
Have they said anything about hyperkit on the new platform? And being able to run stuff like Docker for Mac?

I've seen lots said about the lack of Bootcamp support but I've actually never even used Bootcamp, Linux VMS are much more relevant for me and I imagine many other developers.
A true stoic wouldn't develop the negative feelings that motivate blogging.
I have 1500 tabs open in Firefox, plus CLion, PyCharm, a few Jupyter kernels eating 5-15G, a few apps running in background - it’s often nearing 32G on a 32G 7-year old Mac and sometimes goes into swap space. I personally won’t consider anything less than 128G as a main machine at this point (and it’s a pity that you can’t swap upgradable RAM on iMacs for 256G).

Well, you make good points. I can't argue with that.
> That blows my mind. Microsoft has had an ARM version of Windows for years. I would have thought they would have lept to support Bootcamp on these new Macs.

Why and for who though? Yes, there is an ARM version of windows, but there is pretty much no software for it - and most of the Windows ARM software (Office?) likely has already iOS versions and will have upcoming Mac ARM versions.

I have the feeling that 99%+ of Bootcamp users use it for x86 software.

It's not difficult to replace RAM or SSD with the right tools (which may be within reach of an enthusiast), problem is that you often cannot buy spare chips as manufacturers can only sell them to Apple or that they are serialised - programmed to work only with that particular chip and then the unit has to be reprogrammed after the replacement by the manufacturer. I think they started doing it after rework tools became affordable for broader audience. You can get a trinocular microscope, rework station and an oven for under a $1000 these days.
If they started now. They've been working on this for some time.
Yeah, that was poor word choice. I guess I was going for issues actually caused by the disease and not issues that are self inflicted or inflicted by society's response to the disease.

Reading between the lines of their announcement, it seems that they'll do well in performance per watt and battery life, which is where ARM is traditionally good. They will not do well in raw performance for workstations or workstation-replacement laptops.
TL;DR: People lie to pollsters.
I would not be surprised at a firing of many and replacements of some with loyalists. It’ll look a bit like vandalism compared with past transitions.
Riiiiight, because no cryptocurrency folk has ever criticized Tether. That is sarcasm, it is a recurring topic for most of last decade till now.

Inductive reasoning suggests that Tether dollars are mostly and usually created accurately as they have weathered state actor lawsuits, some segments of the market itself choose competitors primarily for better transparency and a lack bad history.

Given the similar percentage growth of similar stablecoins like USDC and DAI, there just is a market for stablecoins where capital completely skips bitcoin to enter the digital asset market. USDC issuance size is just as large as Tether’s has been in the recent past, while Tether was weathering the exact same controversies as it has today. This suggests there is just a market for stablecoins, simple as that. This actually bolsters the general credibility of Tether functioning mostly as they always claimed it did where Tether was created only in response to deposits on Bitfinex (except when it wasnt, but usually).
The fact that they say it will run the iOS version of "among us" and HBO max, means I think your right.
This link has clearer instructions on what to install: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/5.0

Just download the versions you want and install them all. Also keep in mind if you're doing actual development you need the SDK, not just the runtime.
On that note, https://twitter.com/Bitfinexed is a great source.
it's there, you just have to configure it
Do most people with MacBook Airs have workloads that require more than 16GB or ram or do they generally value a lower price point?

Cost, performance, light weight - pick two right? Apple seems to have picked a combination of lower cost and light weight. Customers who need more ram probably move up to a MBP.

No need to overreact. My point was that prisons are often exempt from local legislation regarding smoking in indoor public places, in the US and elsewhere [1]. I find this to be strange - it seems to punish prisoners who don't smoke over and above their sentence, and staff.

of course it applies, they have less resources to support more systems than Microsoft do to support one system, this will be reflected in compatibility
> Or not I guess as it means I won't be buying anything today

Honestly, people who don't use their computers as Facebook machines or have very specific things they want to do with the ML engine should probably stay away from Arm Macs for a couple years. There's bound to be plenty of software that doesn't work or doesn't work well, Docker will have ~limited usefulness until more and more people publish Arm images, etc. Plus I'm waiting for the typical Apple move of screwing early adopters by announcing that next year's model is 3x as fast, $200 cheaper, etc.
Is there any information on what type of software will run?

Will it run things like R, Julia, Postgres, Docker (which I can work with reasonably well on my late 2013 MBP) and will we see any of the speed improvements or will some of the packages that work fairly well on the Intel-based models just not work?
They already disappeared, I switched to Windows in 2019.

I use MacStadium for compiling and testing iOS apps. I was wondering if the ARM machines would be worth a look, but they are disappointing. If I was still using Macs as my daily driver, I would buy the new MBA for a personal machine.
> The author of "GitFlow Considered Harmful" put out a simpler workflow that achieves all the upsides of GitFlow with none of the downsides:

I see no relevant difference between that workflow and GitFlow, besides the rebranding of old concepts and some unexplained focus on merging options.

I've also revisited the author's old rant from 2015 regarding gitflow and the only tangible criticism he had was the separation of the master/mainline and development branches, which is extremely shortsighted and miopic as it fails to acknowledge the reality of non-CICD/old-fashined software release lifecycles.

GitFlow has one main concept: using feature branches to do develop work, use release-specific branches to integrate changes, establish and enforce upstream/downstream relationships between branches. The rest is just rebranding and nit-picking over semantics.

You can do a lot more with powerpoint though the results are pretty unattractive, but that doesn't matter to me.

Exactly this. Where is the verification?

Predictions don’t count for much unless you check that the expectations line up with reality.
Tethers are not printed out of thin air. But me saying this doesn’t mean anyone on HN will believe it, although they similarly believe other random Internet strangers because it agrees with their preconceived desire that Tether is fraudulent.

The vote and free speech remain powerful tools for meaningful expression. And they do have an impact. Even if it seems like you're being ignored, each voice really does matter, and policy does change in response.

But that policy flows from the civilian political realm. Military leadership doesn't decide which missions to take on. Congress and the President do. The military won't decide the fate of this election, no matter how contentious it gets. The civilian bodies will.

Same thing in the audio engineering world. It’s crazy how quickly it’s pivoted from Mac to PC in such a short timeframe.
I think it depends a lot on your job. I used to do a lot of Cadence Virtuoso work in Windows (now I've moved to Linux) but that fact that is was running on Windows only mattered once, when I setup the tool. From then on I was full screen in the CAD tool and my day to day was basically identical to my flow now. I imagine for a lot of professionals, like myself, it's the application suite that matters, not the OS.
This is typically what "tough on crime" means in the US. Not that they will catch violent criminals faster or better, but they will prosecute minor crimes as if they were violent crimes. It's how many politicians leverage the fear of crime to get elected.

Our criminal justice system is broken where innocent people should fear getting incarcerated because: 1. Almost everything is a crime and 2. Every crime is prosecuted harshly for political points. (look at me, I'm tough on crime, I imprisoned 300 criminals).
> If you roll that same die 10 times and you get a 6 each time, then we can say that your probability estimate was wrong. But that's what happened with the polling of these states.

The 538 model is explicitly based on the assumption that the state-polling errors are correlated to one another to some extent. Ie, if Trump performs better-than-expected in OH, he will likely perform better-than-expected in FL as well. This is why they rated Trump's chances as being 0.1, not 0.1^8. Given how polling works, this is exactly the right assumption to make.

Hence my earlier comment that if you want to evaluate the accuracy of 538 or any other model, you need to evaluate it across numerous different elections/events, over an extended period of time. Not a single day of elections in a single country.
> People tell the truth, when you ask them who they’re voting for. They really do, on average. The reason why the polls are wrong is because the people who were answering these surveys were the wrong people.

The takeaway from the article is not that people lie, but just that people who are more trusting (according to the GSS survey) are more likely to take surveys and are also more likely to vote Democratic.
And the Intel Mac Mini had user-replaceable RAM. Tired of fan noise and slow response, I went from a 4 Thunderbolt 2018 MacBook Pro with only 8GB of RAM to a 2018 Mac Mini with 32GB of RAM (originally 8GB, bought the RAM from Amazon and upgraded it).
