None of this is relevant to the actual issue raised by the GP: the yokes of the pilot and co-pilot are not mechanically linked. They can be mechanically linked even with a FBW system. And personally, as someone with a bit of flying experience myself, I can't comprehend why you'd want them to not be mechanically linked. The opportunity for confusion with conflicting inputs is too damn high.
All my negative reviews are still up.
I'm not an expert in BPF by any means. My gut tells me that the hype of eBPF is an example of Hyrum's law. That is, eBPF will be leveraged beyond its design intent, as an in-kernel JIT engine. This is more a comment on human nature than the technology itself.
Ok, so you've failed to provide an example, I'll make you a big favour just this time.

That was the original database structure, right?
So we assume there're 3 tables, related by FK, right?
Now let's take a "magic" tool. It wasn't specified, which one or what db is used, so I'll take "postgraphile" and assume it's a Postgres. No problem here, right?
Now if I as an absolutely naive person, will run "postgraphile" and point it to my database schema, it will generate respective types and mutations, pretty much usable from the beginning. No problem here, right?
Now let's say I add an extra field to db schema to any table. Oh, dear, do I need to write a code? Let's try to restart it. Boom, it works. Right?
Need something more complex? Create a stored sql function (x: users|post|comment) => T that maps the data you need, restart a service and query your new field from your updated gql schema.

ffs, read before you write.
I can see that. I would probably be on here a lot less if I had an interesting job.
I really hope we will be able to. All the mentions of "security" in the keynote were making me cringe.
800k actually is small enough to give away when you're dealing at that scale. The lawyers fees and other fees wouldn't even be worth that much from a sale.

The bigger reason is reputation. If Techcrunch posted an article saying, founder screwed out of acquisition by billion dollar VC, it wouldn't work out so well for the next founder considering that VC.
Yes, literally?

I’m talking about 4GB DDR4 non-SSD Office machines still in production that are borderline crime against humanity.
Haha yeah. I assume the Mac Pro will remain a special case (as it is now), probably getting its own totally custom ARM chip when the time comes.
Disclaimer: The world is a lot more complex than you or I can imagine, and there are many variables that go in an environment that neither of us are aware of.

Anecdote from current job: UK citizen living and working in US for a Swedish company on a h/w project that I need physical access too. H/W is made by a Chinese company. Project leads are situated all across the world in multiple time zones. Other parts of the software development is spread across Eastern Europe.

Anecdote from last job: Building software in a team of thousands spread all around the world across every time zone imaginable needing access to remote systems, physical hardware and thousands of sensors on a floating ship thousands of miles away with a crappy satellite connection.

Conclusion: "I don't understand how the other half lives, therefore it is impossible."

There are certain subsets of software development that need to be hands on. Many don't.

And to address the "lack of discipline" in the article: That's your problem.

To address the hiring of foreign nationals and local labour laws: There are literally companies that exist solely for that purpose. I've used two of those companies in the past for our own teams to hire a foreign national as an employee that works remotely. A cursory web search will throw up dozens of companies that specialize in just that. Those companies have registered offices all across the world. You're hired to that company locally and fulfill all local employment laws for only a marginal amount of overhead.

Bad article is bad.
> At minimum, you're adding a "rewrite your accessibility code" cost to anyone moving from .NET Framework to .NET Core.

That would be true if it were common for applications to directly support alternative UI modalities, but that's not how accessibility generally works. An application implements a GUI, including support for the platform accessibility API (hopefully with the help of the GUI framework), and it's up to a separate assistive technology, such as Narrator (for screen reading) or Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for speech input), to use that generic accessibility support to adapt the UI for a specific need.

So if any assistive technologies are using .NET Framework, they might have a bit of difficulty converting to .NET Core. But that's a small number of applications, and in my experience, most Windows ATs use native code anyway. And using SAPI via COM interop isn't hard; you don't have to get down and dirty with P/Invoke or anything similarly low-level.
It will only drive one 4k display at 60hz, I would imagine it would support multiple lower resolutions with no issues.
These are all targeted towards consumers. My last three personal Macs have had 8GB of ram and they were fine.

My work machines on the other hand were all specced with 32GB.
How would you improve on the Air? It's such a beautiful, sleek little thing. I've currently got a 13" Pro and it just feels so damn clunky next to the succession of Airs it replaced.
This isn't strictly true though, there are any number of polling methods that pollsters use these days including online polling and essentially pre-approved call databases. One of the examples in this article was an in-person poll with 70% response rate.

It's probably more accurate to say it's harder to effectively weigh or average responses in a setting where there are 4 or 5 different channels you are collecting responses from.
I'm guessing the MBP13 is now a legacy model, being refreshed more to satisfy direct-product-line lease upgrades for corporate customers, than to satisfy consumer demand.

Along with the MBP16 refresh (which will use the "M1X", the higher-end chip), we'll probably see the higher-end MBP13s refreshed with said chip as well, but rebranded somehow, e.g. as the "MacBook Pro 14-inch" or something (as the rumors go: same size, but less screen bezel, and so more screen.)

And then, next year, you'll see MBP14 and MBP16 refreshes, while the MBP13 fades out.
Even if ARM Windows was supported by Apple, none of the games have ARM versions so it wouldn't help.
Possibly because OSX still doesn't support DisplayPort multi-stream and you can't plug multiple monitors into one USB-C port.
I was running a Windows VM on my laptop earlier this year (before some of the telework issues got worked out). While, yes, you need at least 4GB/VM, by the time I had two running the issue wasn't RAM. Laptop CPUs just can't keep up with that workload IME. Not unless you get, maybe, the latest 16" MBP (if restricting ourselves to Apple's hardware).
It does as well as the twitter client does.
As well they should! Following the laws is part of not being sketchy.

github went way above-and-beyond here. It is under no obligation to:

1) Enforce an invalid DMCA request

2) Take down forks and repos from other users, without DMCA requests

3) Threaten to ban users

DMCA has a simple, neutral process. github receives a request. It's required to take down that specific tool if it's a valid request (NOT everyone who forked it). The developer who owns that repo can then put that up. At that point, github brings that repo back, and gives the RIAA means to file litigate against the developer. It's inspired by the concept of a common carrier, where github would be acting as a neutral party, not a thuggish policeman-for-hire.

If github ignored DMCA requests, I wouldn't do business with them either. I expect them to be a neutral third party, as the law dictates.
Probably something similar to their secure boot with their phone iBoot.
https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/IBoot_(Bootloader)
My guess is that they are using up to 2 HBM2 memory stacks (from the picture). Each is limited to 8GB . If they were to go to HBM2e in M2 they could get up to 2x24GB. The biggest advantage of HBM is lower power per bit as the signals are all on the package running at a lower frequency.

The memory market is getting fragmented with Nvidia having seemed to moved from HBM2 to GDDR6X (Micron being only supplier). LPDDR super low power (cell phones) and DDR4/5 for rest of market...
Same. This is the best machine I've owned.

I heard yesterday that Apple does not offer a battery replacement for 2014s and you have to go third party. This is an unfortunate development and I'm wondering if I should inquire about getting mine replaced.
hahaha 2 times Air user, touchbar is a big NO.
Virginia here, but this should apply anywhere paper ballots are used. The voter is free to mark the ballot they hand back to be spoiled and replaced any way they want, including in a manner that obscures who they voted for. The ideal marking if someone was concerned about this would be to go through and check every box for every candidate before handing it in to be spoiled.
Funnily when I was in London, coppers knocked on my door at least twice a year on average. It was a running gag towards the end.

Considering that I come from a third world nation where the cops often pull members of my community aside for searches and special checks, the British police force for all their faults are a breath of fresh air. I've been exactly in that spot, with police using surveillance data and national ID data to arrest protestors and put them under false charges. I've personally almost been arrested for no reason except for 1.) walking in the night alone and 2.) walking at night in suspicious clothing (i.e. T-shirt and shorts).
Trusting "Experts" is a pandemic. We see it everywhere. They ubiquitous "They say..."

Trust Coaches to teach our players (you gotta play catch at home to be good at baseball!).
Trust doctors...

The list goes on...
Ahh good find, and according to CrunchBase that Stripe fund was $10M total.

That makes a bit more sense now.
During WWDC they said you can't use any other operating System at boot time, only through virtual Machines.

>Additionally, if the media makes the wrong call due to insufficient evidence at the time or bias, then they could take a hit to their reputation.

Does that ever happen? It seems they're exempt from repercussions.
Fuck to HN for shadow banning
You would also think they would keep the MagSafe connector, which was truly revolutionary (and has definitely saved me at least a dozen times), but yet here we are.
The choice to do on-package RAM makes it hard. They limited themselves to just two dies here, so maybe a real "pro-focused" machine can have 32 GB later. I guess those of us that need the extra ram will have to wait for Apple to release the M2 with DDR5 support and then re-evaluate our options. But for now these are a hard no for me.
"Testing conducted by Apple in October 2020 using preproduction MacBook Air systems with Apple M1 chip and 8-core GPU, as well as production 1.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based MacBook Air systems, all configured with 16GB RAM and 2TB SSD. Tested with prerelease Final Cut Pro 10.5 using a 55-second clip with 4K Apple ProRes RAW media, at 4096x2160 resolution and 59.94 frames per second, transcoded to Apple ProRes 422. Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Air."

This is relevant. This means that the performance increase vs Intel is using the extremely throttled 1.2 GHz i7 as the baseline.
The depressing advice I once recieved from a previous manager: "Not everyone has the potential to be more than a midlevel developer."
My compiles take like 8 minutes at worst.
You think the iOS version of Slack is native?
They've stated that they target 10W in the Air, the cooling system in the Pro is identical to the Intel so probably 28W ish, and the Mac Mini specs say maximum 150W continuous power, but that probably includes a few tens of watts of USB and peripherals.

Used Apple products maintain their value very well. The 2015 MBP Retina can be found on Ebay between $700-$1000. I've thought about getting one myself.
Well they're advertising XCode so
Async is not used just to enable parallel execution. Using 1 thread per every long running request is a good way to bottleneck your web server.
I never used Resharper, just plain old VS. It was dog slow, I’ll never go back, it’s not just the performance, but lack of stability, crashes, lots of exceptions, etc. It just feels like a project that’s not been given the love, and one that’s just having more and more features built on top of shaky foundations.

The other day one of my team (who still uses VS) complained of cut n paste not working (it would paste half the selection).

The basics are broken in my humble opinion
No, but I would staunchly argue that Keynote is better than PowerPoint for making and giving presentations.

Apple cares about presentations, and is lukewarm at best about making documents and running spreadsheets. It shows.
You can charge from either side though. You just don’t get all the bandwidth that USB4/TB4 normally provides.
Intern salaries typically beat that in the SF at the larger companies, which is pretty wild by itself but is obviously just in line with the rest of the pay scale.
Sorry to hear that. For what it’s worth: I once submitted a tiny pull request for Bazel (IIRC allowing insecure connections to localhost for docker repositories) and it was accepted and merged within a few days. Positive experience overall.
There's a slight difference between striving to save lives and striving to maximize profits for shareholders.
It's both.

There's a certain irony to the fact that their "responsive" website doesn't scale correctly.
The only thing could be some really aggressive swap disk situation offloading anything not needed that second. But that won't work for things where you need all the ram right now, video editing for example.
Do you know what kind of software is used to design these chips? I understand you can do prototyping in Verilog and then somehow translate or make use of these predefined cells. Then how those cells are placed on the die? Is that automated or semi-manual like when doing PCB design? I play with FPGA, but I just keep wondering what it would take to design my own chip.
That's for reasons that I would expect the technical readership of this site to understand.

Please take this shallow retort back to Kotaku.
M1 chip page shows that 10 watts is the thermal envelope for the Air
Here is the study https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0...

The study has this line which caught my attention:

> The incidence of any psychiatric diagnosis in the 14 to 90 days after COVID-19 diagnosis was 18·1% (95% CI 17·6–18·6), including 5·8% (5·2–6·4) that were a first diagnosis.

So only 5.8% of people got a first diagnosis, and the remainder of the 18% were people who had been previously diagnosed with one of these conditions.

This seems to contradict what is written in the linked article:

> In the three months following testing positive for COVID-19, 1 in 5 survivors were recorded as having a first time diagnosis of anxiety, depression or insomnia.

So it seems like the linked article has a bit of hyperbole in it.
How hard would it be to release an ARM version? Also out of curiosity, what game was it?
What do you use function keys for? I was thinking about this, and I don't think I've used a function key in years.
Bringing light-speed internet to Sub-Saharan Africa
That would be weird. Thunderbolt 3 supports 2x 4K60, so this should as well.
Everyone's talking about how the founder got lucky that his investors let go of their $800K liquid preference.

My guess is that this wasn't all luck.

The VC's in this case knew how transparent this founder was being in reporting his startup journey. They knew that this decision would get publicity.

With this knowledge, the VC firm probably made a calculated decision to forego their liquid pref in return for the good will generated by the founder's transparent PR.

It's cool to see the founder being financially rewarded for his transparency.
One random thing: one of the photos in the announcement has a Chinese (I think) keyboard layout https://www.apple.com/newsroom/images/product/mac/standard/A...

what's sad is that the drug war has conditioned our medical professionals to distrust their patients from the onset.
My guess is that the next wave will be Pro.

And they will have significantly upgraded CPU/GPUs to match the memory.
I got one of the MBP with the touchbar this year after holding out for many years (changed jobs so had to change laptop). Man it is so much hard to do the volume changes, and there has so far for me been zero benefit.
You forcing your own caveat on what I said before other people get to read it is a good bit different that simply freely speaking, regardless of the fact that you own the medium.

Either Twitter is a place for us to speak or it is the blog of the moderation team. It cannot be both. If they want to caveat everything everyone says then you're right, the solution is to not use the site, but it isn't because we don't like what they're saying, it is because Twitter is no longer a website designed for people to have discussions with one another, it is a website designed for the owner to control the flow of ideas.
It probably has 8 cores, just that one failed and they disabled it. Making CPUs is expensive and a faulty process.

A lot of CPU given any release is the same high end CPU with faulty cores disabled.
Yeah fairly certain it is, despite not feeling that way from a UX perspective.
Lots of comments from people complaining about the lack of 32GB of RAM. Can someone explain to me the need for 32GB of RAM as a developer? Is it the IDE or your particular application area? As for me, I do all my professional development (C++17/Linux, Vim, EDA industry) on a five year old T450s with 12GB of RAM. For me the limiting factor is CPU power for sure. I only run out of RAM running some of the larger customer tests for which I have to go to a beefy machine in our network, but that happens rarely.
I agree. I read all the comments in this thread and this time and the negativity isn't there. It just doesn't exist. I don't know if those comments were removed, but I just suspect they never existed.
Three browsers open is not a requirement for the vast majority of folks.

There are probably a number of useless Windows services that could be shut down as well.
I have written comments here that could be interpreted as harshly critical of specific YC companies, and they stand or fall on their own merits and community votes, not mod bias. They do a good job here.
No to plant medicines. It is cruel to subject someone only to plant medicine, doubly so if it hasn't been rigorously tested: Give folks actual, up to date medicine instead. You know, the same quality that everyone on the planet should have. There is no reason someone should have to suffer more than they should. If you need anti-depressants, by all means, please have access. And to drugs that alter the course of auto-immune diseases to make them less of an impact on quality of life: Please give high blood pressure meds and insulin if needed.

Farming and nature isn't a cure, and does nothing to help someone adapt to the city they will likely be living in upon release.
> This suggests that free speech is merely about being able to speak and that advocates would be happy for their speech to be stymied in other ways

I do not suggest that. I am not trying narrowly define speech. My point is: It is free speech for someone to make claims about election fraud. It is also free speech for someone to refute those claims.

Why deny Twitter the right to their own editorial position, whatever its bias, while certain twitter users — with strong biases of their own — have free reign?

You seem to want to cast Twitter expressing their own position as inhibiting someone else’s free speech, but it’s just their own free speech. Free speech means you get to express yourself, not be free from contradiction.
At first glance, it seems like this could be used as a powerful fingerprinting tool across multiple sites. Are there any plans to disable this for consumer devices, or to at least put it behind a permission prompt?
Oh man, I put "Superheroes" by "Daft Punk" on this and was just hypnotized by the visualization.

I think also "Studio Microphone Quality" - whatever that means.
That was more a rhetorical question. The real issue is you can’t predict how long you’ll live so it’s not correct to say “draw it all down evenly over X years”
Can you use iO to decrypt an FHE ciphertext and return an obfuscated output only if the ciphertext matches some value?

The iO circuit would need the FHE decryption key and the hidden output. If there were exactly one FHE ciphertext for any plaintext (which can't work, otherwise you could distinguish FHE values and break it), then you could simply implement this by supplying <target FHE ciphertext> XOR <obfuscated secret>.

Is there a scheme where iO could do this, or is it impossible because any obfuscation would necessarily require both the FHE decryption key and the obfuscated secret?
Retailers most definitely take on the full risk of distribution and storage. Even when there's a buyback agreement.

Retailers are also NOT interested in buybacks, as the cost of shelf life is not cheap(much more expensive, than warehousing)... and white label products are also higher risk(not shared risk) for the retailers and are always lower margin.

There's a very clear difference between financial incentives between traditional retailers and Amazon. Equating them - is ignorance at best.
Their performance claims are the very essence of vague, but Apple sure seems certain it will be great for software engineering. I'm curious. I won't be convinced until we get some real data, but signs seem to point that way. What makes you strongly suspect it won't be great?

Build code in Xcode up to 2.8x faster.

I have a hunch it will be adequate for single-threaded tasks and the real gains will come for multithreaded compilation, since its superior thermals should enable it to run all cores at full blast for longer periods of time without throttling, relative to the intel silicon it replaces.
Money is a tool, and like any other tool it may or may not be useful to you. If you want to be a digital nomad on a little boat sailing about then you need much less money than someone who wants to build a mansion and drive a ferrari.

Money does not indicate how valuable you are as a person, it indicates your ability to optimize for money generation. Or put another way, money won't make you happy, don't let the lack of it make you unhappy.
The one in the article mentions it. I shouldn't have generalised to the whole US, but my point stands for that particular prison and others like it.
