I got slapped around by a large trout, I mean, by dang, once.

Rather than getting annoyed, as would often happen elsewhere, I was ashamed. Because dang was right and I was wrong.

Thanks for that.
Are you familiar with the /r/wowthanksimcured/ subreddit? Might want to check it out.

There are several problems with your statement:

- find a better job: the job market is not ideal right now from the worker's perspective. Not to mention the difficulty of onboarding remote employees which is a stressor in itself. Not to mention the stress and the added workload of joining a new company/role while you have to build trust in a short amount of time.

- finding and landing a job is stressful. Assuming we're talking about jobs in CS, the prep is long, takes a lot of your personal time and ultimately you need to deal with a good amount of rejection. Stressful af.

- after landing a job, figuring out if it's a better job is hard. You really can't. There are yellow/red flags you can notice during interviews along with other intelligence you can get from insiders but more often than not the situation on the ground is more or less a crapshot.

- respecting personal time is subjective. Also a thing which you can't really figure it out unless you're in the specific situation and see if it matches your expectation.

Is this really a good idea for Desktops? Notice the graph is for laptops.
Yes, that is almost certainly the case. They didn’t mention clock speed at all though so we’ll have to wait for real-world tests.
They have only replaced lower-end Macbooks with 2 thunderbolt ports which they had also maximum of 16 GB of Ram before (I currently use 2020 model). They will absolutely increase the IO ports and RAM later but this is just a beginning of a new era.

The higher-end 13” Macbook Pro with 4 thunderbolts are still available.
Talking about Gandiva, something that's open for taking: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-5315 (creating Gandiva bindings for Rust).

I think DataFusion is mature enough that we could plug in Gandiva into it.

If you can't admit you voted for someone, maybe you shouldn't be voting for them. If you are afraid of your neigbors finding out your political leanings, maybe the problem isn't your neighbors but the candidate you are supporting.

If you want to support a specific candidate and everything they believe in, that's just fine, but you should feel comfortable saying as much and, if you feel up for it, laying out the reasoning.

I am completely fine admitting voting for Biden, why he isn't my favorite and who I would prefer. I feel zero shame, you shouldn't either.

Just my POV.
It can be tough to track all these actions and counter them. Some people may persist through burrowing, but it could also just be score settling:

I literally had to cancel orders after noticing this as well, was very confusing even for a developer.

Also, what's the difference between the left and the right versions? just the storage? can't you configure the storage? why do they make it look like there are 2 different options.

If you're interested, check out the paper called "How to Use Indistinguishability Obfuscation" by Sahai and Waters. They were able to prove some very surprising things -- including how to hide a private key by way of iO.
That's not the only way they "bin" things. some have one time blow fuses and they will disable parts of the chip if they are being "lean" and just manufacture towards the number they expect to sell of each version. . It costs about as much to make one with an FPU or without it from a chip manufacturing point of view.
Not all geekbench scores are created equal. Comparing ARM and x86 scores is an exercise in futility as there are simply too many factors to work through. It also doesn't include all workload types.

For example, I can say with 100% confidence that M1 has nowhere near 32MB of onboard cache. Once it starts hitting cache limits, it's performance will drop off a cliff as fast cores that can't be fed are just slow cores. It's also worth noting that around 30% of the AMD power budget is just Infinity Fabric (hypertransport 4.0). When things get wide and you have to manage that much wider complexity, the resulting control circuitry has a big effect on power consumption too.

All that said, I do wonder how much of a part the ISA plays here.
Well, so that means roughly half of the country is racist. No matter what you think of them, if you want your polls to work, this means that your polls have to also work properly on measuring the voting preferences of racists as well; a poll needs to make racists comfortable enough to reveal their intent, or it is a useless poll that won't properly reflect reality of what the people want and what the people will do.
Last presidential election cycle, I seriously snapped when I was getting multiple calls a day, every day. I’d never answer them, but blocking the numbers never did any good.

I somehow managed to get the name of one of the companies responsible for it. Then, I called them up — not the call center employees who were making the calls, the actual corporate office — and I told them to please stop calling me, or, real soon, I was gonna start looking for someone to sue.

The calls stopped. I don’t think I even got any this cycle.
Because mail delays were strategic against the swing states. Florida, for example, where they're allowed to count mail in votes well before election day, did not see much shift in voting ratios as time went on.

Have you done any searching for evidence? It is trivially easy to find.

This is a good comment and good strategy to teach them a lesson. Without some efforts those companies would not recall moral values. Richard Stallman was warning us about this development long ago and he was right. Cripled hardware is useless for hacking mind.

This is conversion, not casting. The closest thing to casting in Python would be changing the type pointer of a PyObject.
Reminds me of self-taught tech. I’ll often know the name/acronym, but pronounce it differently in my head than the majority of people. Decades ago GUI was “gee you eye” in my head but one day I heard it pronounced “gooey” and I figured it out but had a brief second of “hwat?” (I could also see “guy” or “gwee”.) It’s, of course, more embarrassing when I say it out loud first...
In Arc, yes.

Unfortunately not, because we don't know how to write anti-abuse systems that keep working once people know what they are.

On the Air only 7 GPU cores (vs 8 on Pro). Also no active cooling, so likely lower max CPU performance under thermally limited conditions.
Don't know why they didn't just add a screen to the blank function key width gap of bare aluminum between the keyboard and the hinge if they were looking to add some decoration to the keyboard. That would have been praised, instead it's been a pariah.
This is a dupe (Or maybe people would be happier if I said "Previously on HN..."):

My personal experience with Ethereum contract development
I've brought it up. She doesn't care. She tells me unrealistic things too.

For example, she says that I should pursue my expensive hobbies too, like track nights with the 1LE Camaro (which I felt I had to sell when getting married). Where would that money come from?! Should I just not pay the mortgage, or stop saving for retirement? She has also said if I don't like my job that I should quit. I've explained that it would be a significant pay cut since I have experience in non-marketable tech (FileNet and Neoxam). Again, where will that difference come from?

I've suggested she pay portion of the bills, but she won't. If she makes 30% of our income, then why can't she pay 20% of our shared bills (mortgage and utilities). I even explained it that way, but she won't do it. Not even a counter offer.
There's not achieving that at 5W when running the benchmark though, more like 18W-20W. I question the obsession with perf/watt. It makes sense if you're running a data center, or if you need to do "light" work.

But almost everyone I know with a laptop spends the majority of the time working with it docked to power, and often a monitor. If you're using a laptop for work, and you're not running out of a coffee shop, do you want a Zen3 with 32-64Gb RAM, 8-16 cores and an RDNA2 graphics APU at 50W (Rembrandt), or do you want a a device that will play video for 18 hours?

Especially for gaming, Apple's GPU is still years behind AMD and NVidia. They're bragging about 22Gp/s fillrate when latest mobile discrete GPUs do 5-10x that.

Certainly, they have achieved a lot and are crushing Intel integrated chips at the low end, but there's a ton of marketing fluff and special case comparisons going on, and I look forward to seeing a real head-to-head matchup, of say a Zen3 based system against a MacBook on a heavy CPU and GPU bound benchmark like a triple-AAA title.

Years of synthetic benchmarks that exercise giant CPU caches leaves much to be desired.
There's rudimentary statistics support, but I've found that it accounts for a lot of the write time (I wrote some tests last weekend, I can ping your team when I put them on GH).

Improving our stats writing could yield a lot of benefits. I'll open JIRAs for this in the next few days.
My heart broke when reading your article. There are some very different kinds of accusations put on Shor. The most hilarious is definitely the "you are not black so shut up" argument. I understand lived experience and how it impacts a person's ability to speak on a matter. that I have never seen a person even attempt at explaining how the author's lived experience corrupted their chain of thought. Also the original paper was written by a non white person. In my view this is worse than an ad hominem attack because in this tactics you feel like a whole community just insulated you. I don't understand what exactly the people restricting speech in this way are trying to achieve.

Our drive could have been for naught if someone was off that day or they were doing a study, no way to tell in advance. There's not much to give a tour of, just a large viewing room that was open to the public and so totally worth it, but someone did talk for about 20 minutes.
I have a simpler explanation for media failure.

Huge job cuts. Many journalists are now doing work of multiple positions in many places especially online media. New York Times has reduced the number of their total editors in the last 10 years for example. Every major online media had layoffs comparable to 10% of their total workforce in the last 5 years. It affects mid level journalists the most so there are more interns now.

Most of the jobs have been concentrated geographically. Whatever people say, environment changes how they act and what they believe in the most, likely to report.

There isn't enough exclusive content. Any big announcement or what rich people say can be read on social media by directly following their account. Why buy a NYT subscription for that?

There are thousands of big YouTubers reading the latest news from NYT to their subscribers and taking NYT's cut if they actually do something exclusive and costly.

News has become an entertainment commodity for people. The vast explosion of content means fewer people are willing to pay for less but greatly researched content compared to more content and noise.

Is the reality of the 4k era that if you want dual monitors and peformance that you have to go back to 1080p monitors? Looks like I'll be holding onto my $100 dell screens for a while yet.
I don’t do any tab-hoarding in Chrome (that’s the job of Safari on my machine), but I’m pretty sure that it will suspend tabs long before you run out of RAM. 8 GB is still plenty for web browsing.
Mail ballots come from different counties with highly different demographics. You get massive Biden support in one city and massive Trump support in another rural county - it's not surprising at all. There's also differences in when the ballots arrived: some states could process ballots ahead of time so the late counted ones are only those that arrived late and may be more or less D/R leaning. And different states have different voter registration policies; that's why Arizona has had relatively good Trump performance on the later counts since there are a large number of Republican voters using vote-by-mail and there always have been in Arizona. There is boundless discussion of the specifics of this on twitter, etc. I don't think swing state/non-swing state is a useful categorization here. Just look at the where the ballots are coming from directly.
These benchmark scores claim that the only CPU faster than the Apple A14 is the recently released Ryzen 9 3950X:

"I can't convince you not to be naïve about the world"

I think I have seen quite a bit about this world and I adress most problems direct or indirect to secrecy and lying.

If you believe demcoracy needs secrecy, than this is not for me to change.

I also did not say we need a open vote now. I said, "thinking" about it. If that alone makes you think I advocate dictatorship, than there is no further point discussing.
Traditionally leadership in fab capabilities has been seen as a critical US Strategic advantage.
This is a really good point. Training, equipment, and horse-power would have given knights huge advantages over peasants.
Sandboxing needs to happen by default for all applications, without additional work by users. It needs to be an OS- or package manager-level feature. See iOS for example.
For Air, the one on the right has one more GPU core too.
I think that is pretty much what unified means, unless you know that for some reason it can address only 8GB of it or something like that?
Yeah, and good people have nothing to hide! Isn’t that right Alexa?

> If you're writing modern nodeJS you're probably not using callbacks or promises (directly) anymore

I get that some people prefer async/await (I actually find explicit Promises clear enough that I don't have any strong preference, myself), but why wouldn't you be using explicit callbacks, which in my JS experience (mostly frontend, but also fairly modern) are super common outside of promises, which is the only place where I see modern JS replacing exlicit callbacks with a different structure.
You don’t have to be 60+ to have grown up without caller ID. I’m much younger than that, and we certainly didn’t have it for at least most of my childhood.

Worth noting that Intel doesn't actually honor those 10W listings, and often boosts above it for significant portions of usage.

Divorce. You have one life.

I get that this was hastily written but I'm not even halfway done and I've already hit a handful of typos/grammar mistakes.

> Today’s event contained a whole ton of new official announcement, but also lacked (in typical Apple fashion) in detail.

"any detail" is probably what they meant

> This packaging style with DRAM embedded within the organic packaging is something that isn’t inherent new to the new M1 chip as we’ve already seen such a design featured on the A12X.

s/inherent/inherently

> We can see the new M1’s four Firestorm CPU cores on the left side. Notice the extremely large amount of cache – this was one of the surprises reveals of the event as the A14 still only features 8MB of L2 cache.

"this was one of the surprises reveals" not sure what they were going for, probably just remove "reveals" and it works?

Also they talk about the A14 in the title but then barely touch on it at all. It's like 3 sentences about it then a recap of Apple's last transition.

EDIT: I now see that there are multiple pages. I really don't like it when webpages do this and I like it even less when it's not clear at all that there are multiple pages. The title for the next "section" is 20px tall and not clear that it's a link to go to the next section (No "Next", arrow, etc) and the dropdown for switching between pages (this has got to be the worst way to do pagination IMHO) is 16px tall...
I've already tripped or stumbled on my usb-c cable dozens of times working from home. The damn thing is already pulling out at the ends. Why can't apple make good cables? They make their environmental statement making you buy the charger for your phone rather than shipping one in the box, just to sell you junk cables that don't last. I had old multipin cables and earbuds from the original ipod that still hold up. All of their textured grippy feeling cables have been crap.
Neat. On the server, we use bubblewrap, a similar tool (comparison with firejail is in bubblewrap readme)

The whole story is bizarre, but that tidbit was just bonkers. How the hell did they convince a judge that it was ok to go wreck this poor woman's house/yard in hope is digging up some hidden precious metals that her son evidently buried there? I'm speechless.
No doubt there will be higher end designs in the future. The question is, how far will they go?

Will they build a discrete GPU, or continue their AMD partnership, or try to convince everyone that their integrated graphics are good enough? Will they build a massive multicore chip to challenge Threadripper? Will they go to higher TDP and push single core performance even more, or will they relax and just use medium TDP parts that still outperform Intel's best?

I'm excited to learn the answers to these questions in the next year or two.
I think exit polls (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/...) - which again could be wildly inaccurate especially due to their small size - showed people making over 6 figures were mostly voting for Trump.

I use Go quite a bit, and I have the exact opposite experience from a lot of these testimonials.

Someone else mentioned go just works, they don't have to fight the tooling, or that they worked on a go program that works five years later (which language does this not apply to). ??? I've had quite a few problems with things like plugins for go deleting unused imports because I am in the habit of saving frequently. I resolved it, but I still had to fight with the tooling. Then there was the whole go mod situation.

Go code is a language that has succeeded in a niche market (It's magical to just spin up a web server that works out of the box with great performance. ) while also handicapping itself so that complex code is too difficult to write. So it doesn't get associated with the problems some other languages have. Java is a good language that people ruined with horrible enterprise culture.

I don't even really think that go is that painless to learn. The small size of average projects has led to some dire fault lines. The biggest one for me is that it's structural typing for interfaces isn't explicit. Often times I'll read some code that uses an interface, and I'll have a real hard time mentally mapping what uses that interface and how to write code. 90% of the time this isn't an issue because the projects are small enough that I can just keep the whole thing in my head, and I can make educated guesses, or I only need to remember a handful of common cases. This doesn't scale well. Yea, I know there's plugins for these things - and I use them, but I am not a fan of tying development to non-standalone tools.

Anyways, rant aside, looking forward to another 11 years of go.
No, but if you're working at the polls, you shouldn't be trying to push that line absolutely as hard as you can, and then arguing that what you're doing doesn't technically cross it. That isn't the point. The point is, in your official capacity, you're supposed to be neutral. Not "not biased enough to be against the rules". Neutral.
Appreciate the input from someone who has gone .NET -> Go!

I wasn't sure if there were any obvious benefits, but from looking at various Go codebases recently, they usually seem so succinct by comparison to the typical C# codebase I see - I love C#, but that has piqued my interest. Also, I don't try new languages often, so might be interesting just to have a go (yes, pun intended :)
