Okay, sure, Trump misrepresented that maybe -- although his tax returns are typical of someone with lots of depreciable real estate, and don't have much evidence of fraud.

But let's talk about other so-called trump 'lies'. What about the continued doubts by the NYT that there would soon be news about a working coronavirus vaccine at the end of October, early November? What about the Steele Dossier that is now known to have been paid for by Russia (which Trump said at the beginning, but was claimed to be a lie)? What about the forced firing via threat of withholding aide of the Ukrainian prosecutor by Joe Biden, who denied being involved with his son's business dealings in the Ukraine? We were told that was lies, but there is indisputable DKIM evidence that an e-mail from Burisima to Hunter Biden thanked him for meeting his father while he was in office (https://github.com/robertdavidgraham/hunter-dkim). Are those lies too?

Sure Trump lies, like any other politician. But sometimes he tells the truth, and the truth is so ludicrous, that it seems like lies, but when it finally comes out that it was true, we all sit and say to ourselves... maybe we should believe the guy. But I mean... continue on with the denial, you'll just turn more formerly anti-Trump people into pro-Trumpers.
My personal belief is that a non violent first offense should NEVER result in jail time.

Yep, Bernie Madoff should have walked, albeit with a felony strike and ruinous restitution.

The alternative is our current gulag.

You are presumably not an intelligence agency.
Maybe I'm not suited for the modern world, but I paid for Office and Adobe Creative Suite and BBEdit and I expect to be able to use them indefinitely, unless I want a feature upgrade. I don't want a toothbrush subscription or a laundry soap subscription and I don't want a Photoshop subscription.

I worry about what happens to the things I've created should my subscription lapse. I'd rather budget for a one-time purchase than have a yoke around my neck forever. A tiny yoke, sure, but add that to all the other ones and they are taxing to carry around.
You can have a 13" with 32GB or a 16" with 64GB. Just not with Apple Silicon.
Never measured whatsapp but it's really pretty performant. Is it heavy?

Slack and discord, on the other hand, are real drags.
Supporting the Linux desktop means they can leverage more of it for whatever solution they ship.

They can either use an existing display server, or write their own. The latter would be absurdly more expensive.

Somebody who got it wrong and actually admitted he got it wrong is often a credible source on why he got it wrong.
So by that definition since my private key is a lot like a combo to my safe, the government cannot compel me to disclose it? That sound like good news.

Also, I guess I am storing all my keys at STL files that get 3D printed and destroyed upon first use. Hello protection from search warrants!
Does macOS handle memory in a way where it just lets RAM fill up to some point before actively doing something about it? Because on my 16gig Macbook 8 gigs are gone just with browsing & spotify.
First a high-end ARM chip would have to exist. The 8cx is pretty meh compared to the M1.
Considering advertisement works on a subconcious level, ignoring them will take some serious serious mental discipline. Maybe after spending a few years in a monastery on a mountain will you be able to resist their invasion into your subconscious headspace.
The legal issue isn't a big deal, but I certainly don't need that work on top of everything else. It was for an off-leash dog. The real problem was that we had a totally incompetent trooper make numerous mistakes on the citation, including a mis-citing it as a more serious charge and lying to a judge. I'm trained and licensed by my state in a quasi law enforcement capacity and even I'm shocked at the dysfunction of the system in this case. (On an unrelated matter the previous judge was arrested on multiple charges).

I don't think therapy would help. I would not be happy paying money for someone to just facilitate a conversation. I'll just deal with it until I can't, then I'll quit my job and she'll have to start helping out or listen to me about moving.
TIL it's "Dan G" and not the Chinese surname "Dang" that I'd always assumed.
What I am lamenting is the observation that the iPad OS seems to be Apples vision for how computers should work: Crippled, not much user control, just content-consuming devices with Apple controlling every aspect of it. That’s not a personal computer anymore, not a device where we have much control over it.
There's also a lot of useful information that has only ever appeared in Twitter conversations between Apple developers but I wouldn't call that documentation either.
This "actual serious work" you mention is not what most people use Office for anyway.

Most people write simple letters, and do very basic spreadsheets.

This is probably one of those "80% of the people use 20% of the features" scenario.
Not sure why I'm being downvoted. Look at dragonwriter's post where he explains more clearly why averages are meaningless in this discussion.
> political rather than patriotic

Unfortunately patriotism itself is highly political; the ultimate question of "my country, right or wrong" results in some people noticing that it is in fact wrong in some cases.

Do they not teach Clausewitz in the US military? "War is the continuation of politics by other means". Every shot fired in anger is a political act. Not the politics of the person firing it, but those directing the fire.

It is possible to try to be non-partisan, but an apolitical military is an oxymoron.

The US military is the guarantor of a host of political lines across the world; supporting South Korea or Taiwan or Israel or Germany or Bosnia is a political act.

You can't sign up and then disclaim responsibility for the political results of following orders "apolitically". The last people who tried that got shot at Nuremberg.
> this quagmire was avoided by having the government build a skilled team in-house

Oh, this has been my feeling of how to solve the issue as well. Government in-house projects seems to have better quality overall in Sweden too.
Yeah, so i don't accidentally trigger Siri all. the. time.
Do I really need to point you towards the Trump lie tracker? I am only exaggerating a little when I say that if he says ten words, he emits 11 lies.

> The 2019 MBP 13 supposedly uses an 8th gen, 14nm Intel part (14nm is 6 year-old technology).
A more fair comparison would be Tiger Lake (20% IPC improvement) on Intel's terrible 10nm process. The most fair comparison would be zen 3 on 7nm, but even that is still a whole node behind.

I'm not sure exactly what your point is. The fact it is IT IS on a better node. That's probably a big part of the performance picture. But, as a user I don't care if the improvement in performance is architectural or node. I just care that it's better than the competition.
I think it's a mistake to assume that the VC had the choice between this deal with our 800k recouped, or the same deal without it.

The real choice was likely this deal where we let the 800k go, or future uncertainty.

This isn't "rich people don't care about 800k". This is more like "400k write down makes sense at this time".
One advantage I could see would be lowering value for thieves, if it worked out like locked phones that cannot just be wiped and resold.

My Huawei MateBook 13 2020 Ultra has 16GB and cost ~€1200 i.e. same ball park as the ones you listed (i7, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, GeForce MX250, 2736x1824 display).

Apart from the RAM the main reason I went for it was the resolution (I liked the extra height in a 13" form factor). Also, it works with linux - though haven't tried it yet.
The example feedback goes a bit in that direction, but how would that interact with mixed content?

Say, I have a server running on 192.168.1.1. The box is only accessible through its IP address, so I can't get a public certificate for it and therefore can't enable https.

I cannot access the box from a http site due to the new restriction.

I cannot access the box from a https site due to mixed content.

So I cannot access the box anymore at all?
Windows 10 is such a hotch-potch, I hate trying to find anything that I need to use.

'Settings' PLUS 'Control Panel'! let's play 'Treasure Hunt'! - Though I read a few days ago that the Control Panel is about to vanish into the West. Will the Control Panel-specific stuff vanish also? Or will it be moved to Settings? Where in Settings?

I have Windows 8 and Windows 10 on newer computers. (Laptops, just in case, because I may need Windows for some reason while travelling. Mind you, that's a mere 50 gig Windows on a 2000 gig laptop.)

On my desktop that runs 24/7, I have no Windows version installed.

If I need to use Windows at all, I boot up a minimal Windows 7, because IMHO it's the best Windows ever produced. Second to that is Windows XP. No other Windows comes close.
I still highly respect NYT but I agree that the tone of its headlines (if not the actual article text) in general has gotten more sensationalized over time. I now read both NYT and the news section of WSJ to get a more balanced perspective (I steer clear of the opinion section of WSJ because it's a total dumpster fire).
Touchscreen, right?
I hate how right you are.
There are plenty of great "barefoot" walking shoes in the market nowadays.

I like to run on Vibrams and sandals (I generally use a Shamma Warriors during the summer), and a have a bunch of other shoes for walking (Lems, Freet, Vivobarefoot, etc.)

A good all-around barefoot shoe that is suitable for both running and walking that I'd recommend is the Lems Primal 2.

Also: use toe socks (Injinji is the only brand I'd recommend) and, if you can, use toe spacers for a while (1-2 years minimum) to correct some potential issues with your toes placement (unfortunately the only brand that seems to be decent enough in the market is Correct Toes, but it's rather expensive; the cheaper ones you can find everywhere are no good in my experience)
It’s hard to trust allegations like “our switchboard was hacked”, especially coming from someone who starts out with saying the Dems always cheat.

I’d much rather hear concrete allegations with evidence from someone who isn’t a lawyer for the losing party.
I very much agree with this. Rust is to C++ what Go is to Java. I think the fact that Go compiles to native binaries and can be linked statically are the primary reasons it is often compared to system languages like Rust or C++. But really, it's not the same type of language.
2018 midterm polls were pretty spot on.
Is it? I thought only memory controller is in the chip, not the memory itself.
Somehow reminds me of the "PLEASE" keyword in INTERCAL.

If you don't prefix enough of your instructions with PLEASE, the compiler will reject your program for not being polite enough, but doo it too much and your code will be rejected for being too polite. You have to find the right balance.

FYI, INTERCAL is one of the earliest and best known joke programming language.
Progress, Stagnation, and Flying Cars
My point was this is marketing spin.

There's no way to say what "faster" means or what 98% they used. Is it faster than 98/100 models? or faster than 98% of the 261M laptops sold in 2019?

"faster than 98% of laptops sold last year" is a nice quotable soundbyte that will be spread without any of those details.

I'm actually a big fan of Apple's products. I'm sure all the numbers, R&D, and benchmarking will prove the M1 to be impressive.
> not too thin, heavy enough

Wait. What? I can honestly say that I've never thought to myself that a laptop was too thin or too light.
It will be interesting to see how they do once Trump is gone. As the article mentions, Trump's presidency was very good for their subscriptions.
I believe that was only for the higher end 4 port MacBook Pro 13, not the lower end 2 port version that the new ARM version is replacing.
That's not what I've gotten out of govt and media reporting.
In the .NET context, browser-targeted deployments can have a minimal download overhead of around 2 MB, which is a far cry from 50 MB. How? Blazor. For details, see https://blog.ndepend.com/blazor-internals-you-need-to-know.
Electron is cancer .. but Skype is native (for now, at least on Linux. Although I'm sure they'll switch to the Teams codebase and Skype native will disappear forever too)
Years ago back when I had a landline, I was excited when "Gallup" had finally called me to participate in a poll.

It turned out to be a "push poll" for a particular issue (which I agree with) where they were trying to identify personal info about myself and sign me up for something.

I suspect this was not an uncommon campaign technique, and it only needed to happen once before ppl stop answering calls from "Gallup".
Dude had a Hitler mustache, wearing a white pride t-shirt, and is standing next to a Nazi Swastika flag in the pic. That's pretty telling.
I actually worried about this because of Windows on ARM only supporting ARM apps installed via the Microsoft Store which banned competing browsers like Firefox. You can run x86 apps with emulation without the Microsoft Store but why even bother with an ARM device then?

Turns out Windows on ARM is a farce and never had a chance in the first place. The available SoCs were crap, no hardware manufacturer actually launched ARM laptops in significant quantity, apps had to be ported to UWP, etc... It's basically Windows RT again and it was a total failure at that.
Why don't you try marriage/couples counseling? I doubt HN can help fix your dysfunctional marriage.

I believe in: everyone pays the same percentage of their salary towards shared expenses. But this kind of stuff should've been hashed out before you got married.
When I feel a bit to much about a subject I open notepad and write the comment there and then just close the window if it feels inappropriate. This way there is no risk that I accidentally post it but it still feels like I got to say what I wanted to say. And then I can write something more levelheaded.
No, it wouldn't be. The thin blue line flag is a racist dog whistle. The transgender flag is inclusive.
How does InfluxDB compare to TimescaleDB? My understanding is that the use case is pretty similar (time series/metrics), are they good at different things?
I completely agree with this. The knowledge that subscriptions are a constant drain on your income (no matter how small) means I am extremely reluctant to pay. I think the same goes for a lot of people. I think this article don't get when people want to pay for subscriptions.

People prefer a subscription when it offers a blend of value and convenience (Costco's savings, Amazon Prime's faster shipping for cheap, and video game bundle subscriptions instead of buying outright) or offers something that's hard to replicate without a subscription (paying for phone insurance so that you're never out more than the $50 deductible if you break your phone). Toothbrush subscriptions don't fulfill either of those categories: you're probably going to the store anyway so you can get a toothbrush there, the savings are small, and a subscription doesn't simplify your life.
If the heat/cooling story is here for the Mini, that thing is exactly what I need
Yeah, true. As much as I complain, I still use Steam.

It never occurred to me to boot into windows for gaming though -- once I moved I quickly wiped windows and never looked back (like ten years ago now).
I can second this. From being proficient in multiple languages to then picking up Go for primarily API service's I'm not looking back. It has taken a little while to level up to expert but the effort in learning how to build from the ground up by not using a framework is well worth it!
Someone from the product team at Gitlab needs to look at issue 35054
It is completely non-intuitive UX which is causing a lot of people issues. Merging branches is the bread and butter of GIT, if you are changing a fundamental primitive (mergers) of how a technology is expected to work, by reversing the direction of the merge request (opposite to the direction provided explicitly by the user) without warning that is a major issue.

> I'm convinced that no centralized platform is able to provide true free speech

Signal is centralized and provides true free speech. End to end encryption means they don't know what you're saying, so they have no way to know what to block. That is comparing apples to oranges though, I assume you meant a Facebook or Twitter type of social network.
Priests upset by online 'mass-hoppers' rating performances, counting views
The people wearing it made it political. You see them exclusively at trump rallies.

For similar reason wearing a red hat now became a political statement. In Poland for example now wearing something with a thunderbolt or 8 asterisks is sign that you support current protests. In France wearing yellow vests. Those things constantly change and at specific time it can be political. It's all about context and if you're voting you can't claim to be oblivious to it.
No, he should have just said the thin blue line flag implies racism and bigotry, which is the real problem. It intimidates.

Not everyone has a dysfunctional relationship. Partnerships work when there's trust.

How Emotions Are Made
I mean if you think about other professions that use Macbook Pro they don't need it either. Are video professionals using it to scrub through video? Nope. For any audio professional it's useless. No one who is serious about their profession would use it.
AMD's Smart Memory Access was recently announced. In unoptimized games, they're projecting a 5% performance boost between their stock overclock and SMA (rumors put the overclock at only around 1%).

The bigger issue here is bandwidth. AMD hasn't increased their APU graphics much because the slow DDR4 128-bit bus isn't sufficient (let alone when the CPU and GPU are both needing to use that bandwidth).

I also didn't mention PCIe lanes. They are notoriously power hungry and that higher TDP chip not only has way more, but also has PCIe 4 lanes which have twice the bandwidth and a big increase in power consumption (why they stuck with PCIe 3 on mobile).

It's also notable that even equal cache sizes are not created equal. Lowering the latency requires more sophisticated designs which also use more power.

1) Due to covid its highly likely that many of the companies in NY are listing as remote rather than NY-based.

2) Just an opinion, but I would guess the majority of companies on Dice would trend towards older tech stacks. My employer has 4 open Go positions but is not found on Dice.

Sadly typical of HN today that a topic that is interesting technically and politically neutral (the challenge of accurate polling) is derailed up top with an inaccurate culture war comment (there is no correlation between when a Dem condemned violent protest and whether they won their election).

FWIW, Shor’s theory about poll respondents is shared by Robert Cahaly at Trafalgar, but Trafalgar polls missed badly too in 2020 but in the opposite direction. So either that’s not actually the critical factor, or it’s not possible to control for this factor in any sort of reliable way. I find that far more interesting than Shor’s personal HR problems.
Upgrade your sbt version and make sure that whatever file you update is not (transitively) imported/used by every other file. If that doesn't help, check for excessive macro/typelevel usage.

Incremental compile times should be seconds not minutes, something is probably wrong with your setup.
That's mostly losses related to ad revenue. Subscription revenue has increased steadily over the last decade.

wrong! bad engineers don’t want to write documentation
What I mean to say is polling as a major industry for political campaigns is done after this election. The current people running these public polls have no place of confidence anymore: donors should not take them of value, and public opinion should ignore polling. They had their chance this time around for survival as an industry but roundly threw that away.
I don't know what you consider 'bulk'.

I would say that candidates pushing a three year old conspiracy theory doing better in elections than, say, the Libertarian or Green candidates demonstrates some mass.

I would say the US president supporting it gives it some mass.

Pretending it is not a significant force in Republican politics is either spin or an ostrich impersonation, not sure which.
I disagree. It's FAR too early for him to be writing about "why we got it wrong" because if they knew that now, they would have known that last week.

Look, if it was 2 points in a couple states here or there, I get it! But... if the guy was claiming the possibility of a 400 vote Biden landslide? Nah man, that is either massive incompetence or it's intentionally misleading. Neither scenario do I trust this person.
Apple would love to kill laptops because consumers expect them to be general purpose computers. That's not really apple's business model, though.
It isn't there to purchase, it's maxed out at a measly 16GB. Plenty of workloads are RAM-intensive, but people who need more RAM are forced to spend $500 for a slower Intel CPU and GPU.
With the DRAM this close, it can probably be very fast. Did they say anything about bus or bandwidth?
I'm working in Belgium as well and really wondering what space you were working now because 100K-200K net is way above developer wages here.
> Parallels is also amazed by the news from Microsoft about adding support of x64 applications in Windows on ARM.

It's strange that they mention this but don't say whether it will be possible to run Windows in Parallels on Apple silicon. From everything I've read so far, it seems it's not currently possible to purchase a version of Windows for ARM because Microsoft licenses it only to OEMs.
I find that NH is a great jumping off point for adventures I didn't even know I wanted to take. For instance, in this story I learned that some people can down-vote, and a lot of work is done in the background to keep goofballs like me from derailing things.

I too would like to thank the moderators.

Further, and more interestingly to me, I learn that HN is written in a LISP variant called ARC... I've never understood LISP, and especially never thought that anything useful could be built with it... at least at the subconscious level, yet I know AutoCad and Emacs are built around it. I have similar feelings about Prolog, which I tried once and just didn't grok.

Is there an IDE for lisp?
>Oh Apple, why are you doing this, taking freedom from your customers

Because they can. Most other laptop manufacturers are producing garbage. Vaunted brands like Thinkpad and Dell are even failing to keep pace.

My wife's 2019 Dell XPS 13 is awful to use. The touchpad is horrendous, and I'm not buying Lenovo after the Superfish thing.
