Please don't tell me how i need to feel. That not up to you, I'm fine how i feel, if you're not, your issue, not mine. Please don't tell me I'm being defensive, you don't know that, and are just projecting into the story that I'm defending against some attack, or i don't know show. Just some story maybe so you can pretend to look down on someone else. Please don't explain to me how show operates, i think i know better than you. I don't see you having much good experience with show, I've got more. I'm not being defensive nor defending anything nor complaining. I'm being clear how i feel about it. Why don't you criticize people trying to put down instead of criticizing me responding... Unless you support people trying to put down? If the thread is dominated by people putting down, that's not me, and if you're against that, you can speak up against it.

I just feel sad for some people they couldn't have a good experience of this because they got hung up on the wording, and sad for others they need to put down to feel better. Be positive and supportive, not negative, mean or gratuitously critical, that's in a show, but guidelines or not, that's just being kind.

If newspaper articles of 1000 words get their headlines edited, what makes you think a publisher investing much more in a 10000 word book wouldn't edit the title?

Just like clickbait headlines get a view, the same applies for getting someone to look closer at a book they might buy.

> The infinite scaling doesn't matter. It's about building out the factory itself, if that doesn't motivate you, it's just not for you.

Oh, I liked building a factory, in order to unlock then figure out the new mechanisms or defend against the bugs.

If I didn't I wouldn't have played through completing all the science.

But for me the game ended at that point because after that it was just more of the same with little more to discover.

I can see how some people enjoy cranking it to 11, but that part isn't for me.

Maybe I'm missing some of the challenge, but I feel like I could mostly scale to arbitrary size (I think my game currently keeps one rocket port with prod modules saturated) now by simply copy/pasting factory chunks and letting the bots replicate them. I guess I would find automatically furnishing long range construction with construction supplies kinda interesting to do... but I dunno why I'd want to try. :)
Not really you’ll run out of your buffer regardless of its size if it would be slower to fill it than to go through it.

But they can use violence. By capturing control of the state and shifting state policy to coerce in its favour. Or failing that, employing violence directly themselves as many large monopolies did in the 20s and 30s.

As an aside, I see this as the fundamental point of departure in language between a Marxian socialist and a libertarian-capitalist, they mean two different things by the "state": libertarians believe the state is a parasite on the market and a corrupter and destroyer of the free market. Marxists believe that the state is created _by_ the market for itself ("The executive of the modern state is nothing but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie.") Both see the other as hopelessly naive.
Perhaps (and this is just a "perhaps" in search of where our beliefs diverge) I have the wrong idea not about the testing of the coronavirus vaccine - because I think I'm quite clear on the limitations of that - but rather the testing of all sorts of substances in the past which turned out to be deadly. Is this vaccine really undergoing strictly better testing than all drugs recalled in the past 50 years for serious side effects, for example? Unlike those drugs, this vaccine is being proposed for a huge proportion of the population and moreover it may be proposed for portions of the population who don't voluntarily agree to take the risks involved. It's quite one thing if a last-resort cancer drug kills 10% of people who take it and quite another thing entirely if this vaccine has long-term deleterious effects for even 0.1% of people who take it.

I applaud and thank those who are willing to take these risks on a personal basis for the good of others but that is an entirely different thing than being willing to take those risks myself and a different thing again from supporting force (or even "just" ostracism) on those who are not willing.

Don't forget the Touch Bar - that weird uncle in every family that we just have to put up with - the feature nobody asked for and every coder I know would so much rather be without.

It annoys me any my coworkers (we use 2017/2018 15" MBP's) every work day to no end. I hate it when when I'm accidentally logged out by feathering the 'lock' icon.

I'm aware I could move it - but ideally where are times that I'd want to use the feature as intended.

The lack of haptic feedback for the Touch Bar is a bizarre and unusual oversight for a company usually so detail-obsessed as Apple. We are not allowed to install anything but specifically approved software, so any third-party solutions are a no-go here. It should be built-in, it's a no-brainer.

I've personally taken to using a bluetooth Apple keyboard half the time with my work laptop just to avoid the Touch Bar as it honestly feels infinitely more comfortable for coding to not have it there.
"When I’ve struggled to put on a headset over a high bun of braids, I temporarily take down the braids. I’m in no position to do or ask that of another woman even if she is a participant in my study. I personally know how time-consuming it can be to get braids or head wraps tied (and what lies beneath a headscarf may be extra personal). Further, a good number of participants didn’t just have big hair, they had hijabs as well, and these, more than any other updo, cannot be removed."

Quite frankly this seems like a non issue. I wear glasses and 3d glasses always are a pain to use but I don't insinuate discrimination. Was the Oculus Go also not designed for Sikhs? The comment about hijabs is ludicrous. The people who want to control their insular culture but also want to be victims in mass culture are infuriating.

> Most of the US is likely to have their medical systems collapse this winter.

“Collapse” is too terse and paints a potentially misleading picture of the problem; “be overwhelmed and forced to ration care on bases other than medical need, such as expected future quantity and quality of life and chance of recovery” and “face significantly reduced total capacity because of COVID-19 impacts on staff” would be more precise.
I also understood black hair to mean black-colored hair. I was thinking maybe there was either a color sensor issue or maybe it was talking about people in front of the device whose hair color is black.
That system implicitly assumes hostility as the default norm and I think it's one of those approaches that tends to follow the Shirky Principle of keeping alive the problem it is nominally intended to fix.

I hope the mods of HN never go with such a system.
Eh, I mean the kids who are passionate about how systems work will find a way to dig deep. I don't think this is going away with lock-down systems regardless.

The only thing it will do is make it easier for the general public to work with machines and the masses never cared to begin with and to be frank that's a good thing. They are less likely to install malware and cause trouble for themselves.

Plus you're forgetting that these companies still need engineers to build and maintain their infrastructure so it's not like the knowledge is going to disappear, never mind the fact that the corporations heavily rely on OSS.
You are reading too much into package names. Tiktok is also known as Douyin in China.
Multi-threaded programming is in no way incompatible with utterly deterministic bit identical execution with sequential code.

Factorio is already written in a deterministic way.

The developers main argument is that they cannot get much speedup from concurrency because their software is primarily memory bandwidth bottlenecked and at least on consumer hardware using more cores doesn't substantially gain you access to more memory bandwidth.
I think most Swift APIs, especially SwiftUI and Combine, are pretty impressive, clean and modern.
> Instead of, "what's wrong with communism!?", we should be asking, "if communism doesn't work, why was it necessary for capitalist countries to direct the entirety of their foreign policies into violence and sanctions against communists in their own communist countries and anyone who so much as requested aid from them, despite capitalist countries refusing to supply such aid?"

The Cold War would be an answer, unless you somehow deny that communists were equally dedicated to subverting and overthrowing the west.

> The reality is that communist countries actually did work and worked better than the prior state those countries were in

I disagree that this is a valid generalization. There may have been some Pareto improvements and its clear that certain people benefitted and others did not.

> When communist countries fell, life did not get better for those who lived there. It got worse.

This is because the centrally planned economy depleted vast amounts of capital in their desperate struggle to keep the economy moving and competitive with the west.

> They say that most things were better, but acknowledge those that were worse, and when they say they'd support a return it's not to an identical state, just a similar one. But their political systems prevent this. One must wonder why.

Cynically I could offer the same answer a communist would offer when asked why people weren't permitted to own factories in the Soviet Union: because that would put "the wrong people" in charge of the means of production.

Less cynically, its not clear how a centrally planned economy would know how to correctly allocate resources, so there's no reason to return to the central planning model in the absence of a solution to the problems that caused it to fail in the first place.
You’re thinking of a different kind of stability. I think OP was referring to thinks like a stable financial system, legal and law enforcement and economic policy.

You all are far more optimistic than I am it seems.
The charts in question are income disparities (1% v other), membership rates in volunteer organizations, trust in US government, a “polarization index” two guys in Political Science came up with, filibustering since 1960, judicial confirmation rates and an Ngram on two terms. All basically Cold War era time series.

These charts have lead the commenter to declare “the decline of America”. This data basically defines for the commenter “the decline of America”. That seems to me an overly-expansive extrapolation from the data...

Thank you for sharing that.
> I'm not a Apple hater. I used to run a Mac.

This doesn't exclude you from being a mac hater. In fact judging from the comments you read on every post on HN that is remotely related to Apple, that seems more likely than the typical blind hatred you see on the internet broadly.

> And I'm not scared, I'm sad. I would love to have 3 or more open competitive desktop/laptop platforms (Windows, Linux and MacOS) but my view is that the release of the M1 makes that not very likely.

Based on what, exactly? Very few people have their hands on an M1 mac and there hasn't been any reviews of the systems from third parties yet.

> If we look at the M1 compare it to the A14, we can see that Apple has made almost no modifications to the architecture to make it fit in a computer rather then a mobile device. They didn't add more cores, they didn't add support for PCI, GPUs, Ethernet, or anything else that makes it more like a Computer CPU.

You don't know what they did or didn't do to adapt the M1 for computers. There has to be some degree of PCI-E support since they are using thunderbolt ports. There is ethernet on the mac mini with the M1 chip. It remains to be seen whether or not supporting discrete GPUs will be a thing and that'll largely depend on how their GPU scales. The computers that use discrete GPUs in macs right now haven't released an Apple silicon variant yet.

> Maybe this is besides the point, but to me it was very telling that they didn't update the physical design of any of the 3 computers. The thermal envelope of the M1 Should make it possible to make some much sexier designs, then the old designs we where given. It tells me a lot about how Apple allocates its resources.

I think it is beside the point. There's no reason to delay new chips just for the sake of being in sync with a new redesign of the chassis. It may or may not happen next year with the iMac or Macbook Pro 16, we don't know that yet.

> Apple have neglected the mac and especially the pro segment for a long time. There was always a chance they would get their act together and build reasonably priced, top speced machines, that could compete with Linux and Windows boxes, but with this move, I cant see them put the resources behind their silicon to compete with AMD, nVidia, and Intel when it comes to Performance and features.

They only released their entry level computers. You have nothing to base this argument on. There have only been leaked benchmarks all of which seem favorable towards Apple. We won't know what it means until people start getting them and testing them.
Or you can do this in general:

ping 8.8.8.8 | perl -ne 'BEGIN {$|=1;} s/.*=([0-9\.]+) ms$/\1/ && print'| feedgnuplot --stream --ylabel "Ping time (in ms)" --lines

Advantage: works for ANY input, not just pings. And is infinitely more flexible. Want a histogram of your pings updating in realtime? Here you go:

ping 8.8.8.8 | perl -ne 'BEGIN {$|=1;} s/.*=([0-9\.]+) ms$/\1/ && print'| feedgnuplot --stream --histo 0 --binwidth 1

It's the same argument, and shifting the objective to "healthcare resources" doesn't make it any more responsive than before.

I (like many people) am at ~zero risk of serious disease, so we're back to the same transitive logic: apparently my catching a virus is morally equivalent to overloading the healthcare system, because I might give it to someone who is at risk. Well, likewise: you risk putting someone else in the hospital by catching the flu. Has it stopped you from living before?

And of course, there is a matter of degree: getting a seasonal shot is one thing; demanding that people avoid seeing their families is entirely another.

Finally, consider that every young, healthy person who gets this virus is afterward immune, and contributes to overall population immunity. Therefore, getting the virus and recovering from it is a positive outcome for society. This is offset by some small risk of transmission, of course, but that's a manageable risk. After all, masks and social distancing work, right?
> Socialism cannot estimate this any better or worse than capitalism.

False, capitalism successfully prices products every day. The failures are eliminated in a process akin to natural selection of species.

> socialism has a wide range of forms and does not prescribe the form in which workers own productive capital.

the only form of socialism that capitalists oppose is the one where socialists restrict the form in which people own productive capital. all those alternative forms of socialism you advocate are free to exist in a free market but they are as rare as hen's teeth (not to say nonexistent). why is that?

VSCode Stories and GitHub Stories: An Opportunity or Distraction for Developers?
I partially automated performance reviews at one place.

I wrote weekly status updates, important accomplishments I marked with asterisks. For the annual reviews I just had a script that loaded a TeX template from the past review then populated it from the flagged entries in my weeky reports. Then I'd just edit it down a bit, tweak the language and sent it out. In theory I could have probably gotten away with sending the autogenerated one at least after I'd refined the usage some.

I did it this way because it's always hard to start writing a performance review. But I found it a lot easier to start with a bunch of stuff I did and restrict it down to the relevant stuff.

I was tickled when they later updated the job description for my role and used the text from my performance review. I guess since I didn't have to spend much time populating it I managed to completely optimize the level of corporate-speak in my narrative. :)
They didn't say anything about unpredictable software. There are things you can do to systemize the software development process but if you go too far you reduce the ability of your programmers to find the optimal solutions. Creating and managing complex systems is an art.
> We learned to get more food that nature would naturally give. We learned to treat diseases. We learned how to control plagues. We learned to control maternal and infant mortality. We learned to fly. We learned to go to space. We learned to tame and control nature for our benefit.

Uh, go us? We also invest far more in weapons, fighting, and potential fighting, than any other single one of the above. We invented nuclear weapons and build a hundred thousand of them, and the primary purpose of going to space was to feed tech into rockets to deliver them anywhere on Earth in 40 minutes. We pioneered genocide and now we are working on perfecting ecocide.

Science and technology are only as good as the ends to which they are directed. That so far is primarily war and making money. But that's redundant. War is about making money, too.
The first is that they could justify continuing to do this to their shareholders based solely on the cost savings from not paying margins to Intel, even if the performance is only the same and not better.

You know Apple’s market capitalization is a little over $2 trillion dollars, right? And Apple's gross margins have been in the 30-35% range for many years. This isn't a shareholder issue. They are by far the most profitable computer/gadget manufacturer around.

So it was reasonable for them to expect to beat Intel's 14nm++++++ with TSMC's 5nm, but what happens now that AMD is no longer dead and is using TSMC too?

No matter what AMD does in the short term, they're not going to beat the performance per watt of the M1, let alone the graphics, the Neural Engine and the rest of components of Apple's SoC. It's not just 14nm vs. 5nm; it's also ARM’s architecture vs. x86-64.

Apple has scaled A series production for more than a decade and nobody has caught them yet in iPhone/iPad performance. There were 64-bit iPhones for at least a year before Qualcomm and other ARM licensees could catch up.

There's no evidence or reason to believe it'll be any different with the M series in laptops and desktops.
I get that. I stick to the Apple ecosystem and it all just works. I often think about building a Windows machine for games, but quickly lose interest.

> Factories that performed worse would often receive greater benefits, as policymakers frequently followed a "squeaky wheel gets the grease" approach. This also happened internal to factories or other productive activities, where there was no real incentive to work more efficiently and sometimes a disincentive.

Of course they did, this is Marxist doctrine. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. Why would this be a bad thing? Who would want to change this aspect of central planning?

> These are, of course, easily soluble problems with greater information and adding some incentives for workers' performance

So did they fail to solve these problems because they were prevented from doing so because of dogma?
What are your thoughts on fastapi? We end up having to define schemas only twice, one for sqlalchemy models and another for the version of that model you want to deliver via the api. The experience has been that the code is almost completely just schema definitions with very little boiler plate, and even the slight duplication between sqlalchemy and pydantic actually end up being more useful than not in every case.
