Have you tried Turbo Boost Switcher?

It does wonders for my 2019 16 MBP, ensuring the fans very rarely kick in and CPU temps stay reasonable doing similar workloads to what you describe.
Not the one I was thinking of but same point :)

He is talking about market share. I don't think he meant big companies aren't using it.
I'm a full-stack .NET dev that did a brief stint at iStreamPlanet - a streaming media company - where I got my first exposure to Go. I was actually surprised when they hired me with absolutely zero knowledge in Go. That said, I was able to hit the ground running with minimal assistance using the language itself and I found Go to be enjoyable. Don't let the unfamiliar territory intimidate you. "A Tour of Go" was a perfect starting point: https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1

You raised an interesting point in your question though: how do you reap benefits? I did not find a good answer to this. I've yet to see any convincing real-world reason to switch from .NET Core to Go. I thought perhaps it had an edge in the streaming media industry, but I didn't find that argument to hold significant weight either. If you go searching online, you might find some articles that show Go to be more performant using large numbers of threads or doing exclusively mathematical operations, so that might be where you could reap some benefits?

EDIT: I hope what I said about reaping benefits doesn't come off as any sort of fanboy-ism towards a specific language. This is just my personal experience as C# dev. Use the language that's right for you and right for the task.
Yeah but you pay a higher tax rate and get no benefits of QSBS. Generally there is a lot more opportunity for tax optimization on sales than on income.
I'm genuinely surprised you are accidentally touching the TouchBar. I have had the 16" for 8 months and haven't done that once.
Such a damn shame they went with ARM and not AMD Ryzen. Mac quality has really suffered the past few years, and ARM is just the nail in coffin for me.
The rational explanation is that branches are much easier to work with. You can rebase and merge branches with your standard workflow, but stashes can only be popped in order.
Branches can be reordered and changed at will. As beginner I started with some stashes, but never needed them since. You already got tons of tools for branches, but none for stashes. Stashes are like submodules for me, quirky.
I'm suddenly feeling a little better about all the time I spend investigating better/different ways to approach technical problems, even when I know that I can't apply them to the problem that is immediately in front of me.

I mean, obviously at some point you need to cut down the tree, and sometimes you're just carving down your ax without making it any sharper, but still.
Not really. They already have class leading GPU's in ipad and iPhone.
The mother determines the religion in Judaism. We don't know if the son was Jewish or if the father's mother was Jewish.
Yeah, since about 2000 it's been shown to be really unreliable in the US. Heavily weighted towards democrats for much of the same reasons that makes normal polling unreliable now.
> Is mobian and SXMo what you recommend?

Yes, definitely.
I do not want to minimize your experience either, as somebody suffering from chronic pain for the past two years myself.
Chronic pain sensitizes you further, having this awareness helps you deal with your condition better. I highly recommend reading the following article.

And as Dave Chappelle says -

Got to find a way to find joy in your existence in spite of that feeling.
I think the best new projects are created by a small focused team. Adding too many people too early actually slows things down. But, of course, I'm biased.

The thing about this getting to production next year is that we're doing it in our cloud, which is a services based system where we can bring all sorts of operational tooling to bear. Out of band backups, usage of cloud native services, shadow serving, red/green deploys, and all sorts of things. Basically, it's easier to deploy a service to production once you've built a suite of operational tools to make it possible to do reliably while testing under production workloads that don't actually face the customer.

As for us rewriting the core of the database, that's true. But I think you're unrealistic about what the data systems look like in closed source SaaS providers as they advance through orders of magnitude of scale. Hint: they rewrite and redo their systems.

As for Grafna, MetricsTank was their first, Cortex wasn't developed there, and Loki and Tempo look like interesting projects.

None of those things has the exact same goal as InfluxDB. And InfluxDB isn't meant to be open source DataDog. That's not our thing. We want to be a platform for building time series applications across many use cases, some of which might be modern observability. It also doesn't preclude you from pairing InfluxDB with those other tools.
After more consideration it is much more likely to be LPDDR4X just like the recently released A14 chip. It would seem unlikely that they would have developed a brand new memory interface.
> ...or Syria for that matter. Conflicts the US triggered...

Wasn't the Syria conflict actually triggered by the Assad regime's behavior?

https://www.history.com/news/syria-civil-war-assad-rebels:

> However, in March of that year, 15 Syrian schoolchildren were arrested and tortured for writing graffiti that was inspired by the Arab Spring. One of the boys was killed.

> The arrests sparked outrage and demonstrations throughout Syria. Citizens demanded the release of the remaining children, along with greater freedoms for all people in the country.

> But the government, headed by President Bashar al-Assad, responded by killing and arresting hundreds of protestors. Shock and anger began to spread throughout Syria, and many demanded that Assad resign. When he refused, war broke out between his supporters and his opponents.
As someone who works with a lot of interdisciplinary teams, I often understand concepts or processes they have names for but don't know the names until after they label them for me.

Until you use some concept so frequently you need to label it to compress information for discussion purposes, you often don't have names for them. Chances are if you solve or attempt to solve a wide variety problems, you'll see patterns and processes that overlap.
That's not really true though. The viewpoints that are extreme enough to actually get banned from twitter are probably only those that the most extreme views. If you're excluding the 10% of the most extreme content that isn't really an echo chamber, there's still a vast space for discussion and disagreement.

Apple “redesign” inspired by new Google icons
I did a little "redesign" for some ios apps from Apple inspired by Google's new design language.
They are now easily identifiable among other apps ;)

I totally agree with you.

There are examples from around the world of prisons that aren't anything like the US model. It's not a hypothetical, it's a reality that isn't brought up in US political debate because moneyed interests favor the status quo.

I'm not trying to give voice to every gamer, just pointing out that there's more to gaming than games that rely on this crap, and that some of us accept that.

Life is full of quasi-moral choices like this. You can choose to support hardware that supports your platform. You can choose to buy local rather than carrots flown in from South Africa; wtf Waitrose! You can donate your time to helping people hoping it makes the world slightly better.

Not playing games that go out of their way to force me to run Windows is my moral stand here. I get that it's not for you, and it's not for a lot of other Windows gamers, and it might even be stopping the Year of the Linux Desktop...

But my view is this too shall pass. Trusted Clients are bound to fail, as they have again and again and again. They're running out of options. Engines with action integrity checks are the future. And e-sports will move to the cloud because that just makes sense for everybody involved.
"Shithole countries" and a refusing to denounce white supremacy make for an easy start.
> "if you're not making at least $250k a year, then you failed as a developer"

This is a trope that runs through HN that gets frustrating sometimes. There's often a follow-up comment along the lines of "Only 250k? A fresh grad in the bay area can expect that much in salary, but if you're even average, total comp should be at least double that to be competitive!"
This is galling. I bought a new top spec Air earlier in the year to replace the one I'd owned since 2013. I hate it. The fan comes on about every 30 seconds (doing things on the new machine that were fine on the 2013 one). Literally no at Apple seems to care and I'm not the only one complaining.

It's taken then less than 6 months to refresh the entire line? What an absolute kick in the teeth - especially on the back of a machine I really dislike. Super shitty move from Apple.
I used https://gist.github.com/tomfitzhenry/35389b0907d9c9172e5d790... to install it (different model but it worked for me).

The router uses systemd-networkd, unbound, corerad, hostapd.

I'm not in a position to share my config yet. If you give me contact details, I can share a few bits.

Downsides:

* When you screw up, you can lose Internet connectivity.

* When you screw up, you can lose access to your router. I mitigate this by securing exposing the router on the Internet, and then using 4G to SSH to the router.

* It took a while for me to figure out how to get a decent IPv6 setup.

* NixOS specific: if you find some config on StackOverflow (eg) it takes a bit of time to figure out how to fit that into NixOS.

The result is great though:

* this router has been through 2-3 major upgrades, and it just works.

* NixOS is modern/popular enough that it has had wireguard/corerad packaged for a while.

* I have confidence my router is actually behaving according to its config, because NixOS does a great job of that. This allows me to easily rebuild, which is useful if I experiment with something but give up: revert code, then deploy and the router is back to its previous state.
To be honest. You should wait a few weeks for all the expected reviews which will not only perform performance comparisons but highlight what software works that which does not
You are correct. They hid the option.
Even in Bootcamp Apple did not bother to expose all hardware to Windows . The touchpad is reported as a mouse with a scroll wheel, no option to enable hardware encryption or to use Touch ID to unlock.
> I thought that his open stance on what he'd been doing would mean he'd being open to people criticising what he'd done

His goal in publishing this information seems to be to foster a community of transparency. To that end, his actions appear entirely consistent.

Put another way, what additional information do you want him to convey? His goal is to accurately and openly convey information, and he's basically laid it all out on the table.

You're free to have an opinion on whether his actions were right or wrong, but don't expect him to engage with your criticism when that takes a lot of time and effort (and is not part of his goal).
> Good verified voter data for 2020 will take a while

Agreed and my above source is (probably) using exit poll data, which we should be a bit suspicious about. This is early and it's going to take a few weeks to get and unpack data.

> in 2016 Trump won 55-39 among whites with over $150K income;

And he seems to have taken losses there in 2020

> even if they've lost some ground with some of these groups compared to some point in the past, Democrats remain heavily favored, nationally, by blacks, asians, and hispanics.

I was reading an analysis today that suggested Dems may continue to lose these groups - and they will be losing them to the Republicans ( [2] but note the source and that's it opinion and give the appropriate grain of salt). Given how uncomfortably close 2020 has been for the Dems, I would not rest on my laurels and assume we'll just continue to come out ahead in these groups.

It's starting to seem like there is something the Republicans are selling that are picking up these groups, and the Dems are failing to hold onto them despite their messaging.

People keep saying this but with super fast SSDs and I/O is it really necesssry? Especially in a small laptop. You have to remember more ram means more power consumption and also a longer time to sleep/wake.
Yes, I understand, it might work for you. Not sure if you expect that sharing this would magically make it work for me, the fact is that my personal experience shows it does not work in two entirely different linux distributives.

I believe United States v. Eichman invalidated 18 U.S.C. § 700 -- which is the Flag Protection Act.

The "Flag Code" normally refers to 4 U.S.C. § 1 -- which I don't think ever had any penalties for violation. It's simply advisory. The purpose is primarily to define the way the flag is used in an official capacity.
you have to admit when you're in a busy day w/ looming deadlines and your machine starts chugging coz it can't handle the excel docs/dev work going on it feels like the worst thing ever.

the kinda company that can't afford to give you the latest stuff is more likely to have those kindsa days all the time too so it feels even worse. management even rides your ass coz you can't make it work...

part of "making it" as a software dev in a lot of countries is getting a machine per your specs not having a machine specced out to you by IT.
It is "impossible to prevent the military from being used for elective wars" because most people disagree with that goal. (according to observed preference, not stated preference) We just tossed out the only president in many decades to refrain from starting a new war, instead choosing one who voted for the Iraq war. The people have spoken, and they want war.
Biden only gets lucky in PA a full day after that if you look at vote share per batch, well after in-person votes are counted, and the later you go, the luckier he gets.

The pattern is the same in every swing state except Arizona, and in Virginia as well. If you plot out Edison data that has vote count updates, in "normal" states (both Biden and Trump dominant), things are chaotic initially (when in-person votes are counted) and then they settle to a certain GOP/DEM ratio, with a very slow drift towards GOP, presumably because rural votes take longer to show up. In the swing states you observe the same initial chaos, and the same slight initial drift towards GOP, but then Biden starts to get very lucky indeed, and his luck improves as time goes on.

To be fair, this could just be artifact of how votes are counted, in which case I'd like to see what could lead to such a pattern _only_ in the swing states. Or this could be evidence of vote rigging by all means necessary. No matter which side you're on, this should be looked into.
In many countries other than the US it is uncommon for private citizens in daily life to fly or display flags at all, let alone with some nationalist or political slogan adorning it, except when associated with right-wing activism.
i don’t think you need to reference much of anything but the flag itself to firmly establish that the flag doesn’t have text on it.
I'm sorry you got a lemon but what does that have to do with how often Apple releases new machines? How often is Apple allowed to refresh their laptop lines for it not to be 'galling'?
I don't pick up unknown numbers, I call them back a bit later. If the number turns out to belong to a call center, great, I just hang up. If it's a real person, sure, let's chat.

If somebody really wants something, they'll call again.

Also, sending an SMS to the unknown number and asking for a name works wonders.

If someone really wants something they will take the time to type.
I am curious with which parodies you could come up with. Given that this was made with PowerPoint xD
I intentionally took a performance hit by moving from a Pro to an Air almost entirely for this reason (although the low power and light weight are pleasant benefits). I'm glad that the new Air still has F-keys with Touch ID; but I'm flabbergasted that they're still not making the Touchbar optional for the Pro series, given how polarizing it's been, and the underwhelming adoption of new Touchbar functionality by third-party developers.
I know and it caused me to think about this whole article in terms of Sacha's art which is surely an extraordinary synthesis of systematic and emotional thinking in the field of comedy.
Yes. A lot of the digital surveys you see do this. E.g. they enroll people in mechanical turk. They claim it's similar to a Nielsen group but I don't buy it. We do truly random surveys delivered in mobile ads. Can't ask nearly as many questions but I think it's one of the best ways to currently get a large truly representative sample

Specs don’t tell you the thermal story. You can buy an i9 in a thin laptop and feel good about it until it throttles down to 1GHz after 30s.

The MBP should be built with better thermals to avoid throttling since you might be running simulations or movie encoding all day. The air should throttle after a certain amount of time.
Just for fun, I went back to the very first thing I implemented in Go, about 8 years ago†. Compiled and ran flawlessly.

It is SO nice to not have stuff just break out from underneath you.

(Modules wrecked this a little bit; I think it was a mistake to go 1.0 before they worked out a packaging/distribution solution. But what they finally came up w/ looks really nice.)

No what I mean is that Apple pays import duties to bring the computer into the EU from its point of manufacture. This further increases the cost compared with the US or a duty-free zone like Hong Kong. 30% overall increase of price is what I would expect for import duties + VAT, so Apple isn’t overcharging here.
The vast majority of PC laptops sold are cheap low-end volume computers.
>Go is a phenomenal language and I'm not really sure where I'd be without it, my company basically wouldn't exist, I wouldn't be solving the problems I am.

I don't want this to come across as negative but I really don't get this. Can you expand upon this if you don't mind?

What is it about Go specifically that you make claims like that? Realistically couldn't you have done everything you did in Go, in say Java or something else? (I make this as a general comment, I am not aware of the things you have actually written in Go :) )
I guess so but I loathe voicemail more than I loathe the occasional marketing call.

It's easier to just answer given the overall chance of it being a waste of time.
As with Pavlov's comment about the memory this could be a yield thing. It may be that there are enough dies where one of the cores fails that it's worth turning them into a lower spec model as happened with the 486 SX all those years ago. More than one core failing might not happen often enough to warrant making them a product line.

My past manager moved to a FAANG, and had that FAANG recruit me nonstop for two years.
This reads to me as being in alignment with the parent comment to which it was posted as a response.

This is a good question: should news media like NYT report news without any political biases? Or is it OK for them to pick a side while reporting (progressive, liberal vs conservative etc).

If it is OK for media to report news with a bias, then will that accelerate the echo chambers across the political spectrum where news media only report on angles they favor?

Just wanted to raise this for discussion.
I was expecting "meh", but it did lead to some cool sites/effects.
That's only partially true.

For example, AMD sells 12 and 16 core CPUs. The 12 core parts have 2 cores lasered out due to defects. If a particular node is low-yield, then it's not super uncommon to double-up on some parts of the chip and use either the non-defective or best performing one. You'll expect to see a combination of lasering and binning to adjust yields higher.

That said, TSMC N5 has a very good defect rate according to their slides on the subject[0]

I thought the entire point of the current UK government was to be amateurish. Having enough of experts, and all that.
Did you know that you can change what buttons are on the Touch Bar? You can make it almost behave the same as other keyboard by having it always show F-keys.

Glad to hear this has gone well. My current plan is to stick a Linux workstation under my desk and then use my MacBook for remote vscode.
My company gave me the current 16" late last year, and it's been a piece of junk: suddenly starts to roar without a reason (while plugged in to power supply) so people on a phone conference complain I should switch off the hoover.

Often freezes with not much open other than a few Chrome tabs, O365 and Sublime (not actually DOING much with any of them at the time).

The keyboard is poor, the touchbar is useless but doesn't get in the way that much, the touch pad is too large and disturbs me sometimes while typing source code. The lack of ports means without a hub the whole machine is pretty useless (and that means all users will have to buy an USB-C hub for another $100 - annoying but the real annoyance is to have that hanging of your laptop all the time, and you mustn't forget to pack it, or you're screwed).

I also dislike the 16" form factor compared to 13", as it breaks all my leather bags when I try to carry it (not so relevant anymore in the days of the home office..).
