This looks very interesting! Headphone jack and everything!

I have an Pixel2 and was thinking I'd get an iPhone next, but I'm really turned off by Apple's behaviour lately. I also don't want to send more money to Google.

I'm willing to accept that it may not be as polished as the big players, but how would you say it compares to other high-end Android phones?

And if you've tried running linux on it is it usable with reliable call quality?
Both Xserve and A/UX were only relevant to the extent of Apple shops, nothing else.
They may or may not be a waste of time, but they are not science. Without the hypothesis of a mechanism, and experiments specifically designed to disprove that hypothesis, it’s not science. Post-hoc observations of correlations are more closely aligned with astrology or financial journalism than anything we should consider science.

This isn’t a problem we as Americans need to fix. It fixes itself. For instance, the average Ivy League graduate only makes marginally more money than your public school graduate.

By the time you’re making even low 6 figures, the idea of interacting with an Stanford grad who has done nothing of note with their education and makes something comparable to you is quaint.

Generally speaking, distribution of US income as a proxy for social standing gets you pretty far.

At the end of the day, being associated with prestige is cute (working for a big name) and perhaps what many people desire, but holding it yourself manifests itself in different ways at the individual level. Those who really have any modicum of power don’t care about baseless associations.

“Yeah you worked for a FAANG, great, but what have you accomplished?”
You're getting downvoted because your comment seems like trolling.

The reason it seems like trolling is that the information you're demanding "evidence" for is:

- the number of elapsed hours since October 7, 2019, when Catalina was released and OCSP became mandatory

- the number of hours of outage the other day

- how division works

None of these seem to be fairly in dispute.
Harvard is not really that expensive when you factor in financial aid. Nor is it an easy task to be admitted.

What I've generally found is the "common view" in the US is that people get upset/snide at the mention of the school. It seems like this is also an int'l phenomenon if your comment is any guide.
They certainly didn't expect the massive Intel fuckups from the last years. With the normal performance growth curve they would still be ahead.

* Broken 10nm and 7nm fab process. No end in sight. Even IBM could surpass them.

* Even with much stricter memory guarantee orderings they managed to break caching and C3 kernel/ user seperation security (Spectre, Meltdown, ...).

* Temperature management. Eg AVX512!

* The government "mandated" backdoors.

Who would have expected such massive Boeing-like fuckups from the industry leader?
Yeah, just like they hassle me with my wire-wrapped homebrew OpenBSD-based SDR mobile phone in my blue Radio Shack project box every time I try to get on an airplane. Why does The Man always pick on me?!

Can't you, by starting or (much less favorably) joining a startup?
The issue I have with this, is that anyone who is technical enough to install an operating system from source, must necessarily have an understanding what hardware they will be able to install it on. I’m curious if you have ever done this.

No such person would have any illusion about what Mac hardware they could use.

Everyone else, reasonably expects Apple to take care of the OS for them. Indeed that is arguably the selling point and key differentiator of the Mac.

Nobody is misled.

have similar experience. struggled with Matrix/Element and with Signal too. the only app that works for non-techy audience in my experience is Telegram. i got several people to stick and continue using Telegram while i did not succeed with the other two. i guess better than Whatsapp in any case!

on the other hand, we use Matrix for all the communication in our little startup. we got some integration going on such as rss feed and notifications about new signups etc. works great as a Slack alternative.
Payza Founders Sentenced in $250M Money Laundering Case
I did elm for about a year professionally, and loved it. Reading the discourse thread he links, I''m guessing one of Richard Feldman's recommendations could be to flatten the structure. I'm sure there are times when that's no better than 14 lines to update 1 field, but it should probably be used more than it is.

As for why his lenses code can be better than the 14 lines, you're exactly right, it can be extracted into its own file making it an easy-to-use API made of stable code. That lenses code is simple, though unusual at first glance. Once it's an established pattern in your codebase it'll take 5 seconds to grock an entire file of it.
Great talk. The definition of observational equivalence is very elegant. I instantly thought it made no sense or must be a partial definition, then the simple example given on the next slide explained it perfectly.

I also wish people would stop thinking of vegetarianism as a black-and-white concept. Moreover, the people who are quickest to point out that "you're not really vegetarian" are the ones who eat meat regularly :(

Especially for someone who is vegetarian to reduce carbon emissions, 90%, 95%, and 100% aren't that different, and hell even 50% is a tremendous reduction especially if it means that it's easier to convince 5 people to do 50% than 1 person to do 100%.

Occasional indulgence was never the problem for the environment, and people should know that's okay to occasionally indulge, it doesn't need to be black and white.
same with me. I'm buying a new phone soon due to mine being too old and slow. Librem seems like a great choice, even though it still has a quite good share of bugs... but I need to support this effort. It's sad the lack of alternatives

This sets the tone for any further conversation we might have. You are simply a fundamentalist, a dogmatist. People earn money because they work hard, then they buy stuff with that money, then they do things with that stuff. And that's how our economy works! I don't even know how to reply to such an absurd statement. It's like someone saying the sky is pink. What are you even supposed to argue other than... just look out your window?

Glad you decided to split my sentence in two in order to argue against something that I didn't say. A significant portion of food goes to waste while there are shortages in other places, this is what I said. You can argue all you wan't but you cannot change the basic reality that your system for allocating resources isn't doing a good job at allocating resources.

Bankers (class I people) are given free money that they then lend out, with interest, to the rest of us (class II people) who pay tithe to them for the economy to work at all. Not content with this, if they ever make a serious fuck-up and tank the whole economy, we will be there to compensate them for their losses and make sure that they still get their due profit. This is not right, full stop.

Of course we can't paint all employees of any company with one brush, but I don't think we should let the majority of Enron employees off the hook so easily. That kind of systemic fraud requires cooperation or at least a large number of individuals to look the other way. I realize some innocent people's reputation will be hurt, but there needs to be some social pressure for whistle blowers otherwise the risk reward is always such that "a few bad apples" will take the risk enabled by the silent majority "just doing their jobs".
This doesn’t come up enough: intel’s ceo had to abruptly resign in June 2018 due to a relationship with an employee. [1]

That could not have come at a worse time for a company like intel.

Totally agree but Graviton, impressive though it is, doesn't have the aggregate advantage of M1, Intel is setup to respond to that challenge, M1, not so much.
I'm guessing that is in the US, as here in the UK no company would expect just two weeks notice!?

My current contract is pretty typical requiring a months notice either way.
I think this marks the definitive point where RISC dominates CISC. Been a long time coming but M1 spells it out in bold. Sure variable size instructions are great when cache is limited and page faults are expensive. But with clock speeds and node sizes ansymptoting, the only way to scale is horizontal. More chiplets, more cores, bigger caches, bringing DRAM closer to cache. Minimizing losses from cache flushes by more threads, and less context-switching.

Basically computers that start looking and acting more like clusters. Smarter memory and caching, zero-copy/fast-copy-on-mutate IPC as first-class citizens. More system primitives like io_uring to facilitate i/o.

The popularity of modern languages that make concurrency easy means more leveraging of all those cores.

Since the housing collapse I have been saying we should change how resumes work: Prohibit dates. You would say what and for how long, not when.

Ex-Intel engineer here that worked in R&D- I saw the exact same situations during my time and was one of the reasons I left. The way that teams in the same org with the same goals couldn't or wouldn't work together was incredibly frustrating and such a massive waste of effort. At the time I thought it was a unique situation with our group, but it's sad to see that it's more of a systemic issue that still hasn't been corrected.

It's just that... swapping data in and out of ram is far slower than clock speed, right? So if the bottleneck is RAM, would it make sense to get the most RAM? (ie: Intel Mac)

> Refactored our front/end experience using React.

vs

> Increased user engagement 27% by refactoring our front-end experience in React.

Do tech interviewers actually prefer the second description over the first one? To be honest, I find the second one out of context (and a bit robotic/pedantic). Reasons:

- sure, 27% may look like a decent increase, but what was the metric you guys used? How many users you have? One cannot put all of this info in a resume of course (because it's a resume!) so please don't just drop a 27% there as if it means a lot

- I can imagine that the goal of the team/company was to "increase the user engagement", even perhaps "increase the user engagement by X%" and the product team thought "alright, let's refactor our front-end in React; no idea if it will bring an increase of X% or X/2%, but let's do it". But it's impossible to say that React (or any other tech) will bring you an increase of engagement in %X exactly. You just don't know that number, the number comes after; you may have some hypothesis but that's all. So, what you are actually telling me is this: "hey, we wanted to increase our user engagement by some percentage and so we refactored our front-end in React. Later on, our analytics tool told us that the user engagement increased by 27%." Again, you weren't aiming for that number, it just happened.

- you are not going to get hired for that 27%. Imagine there's another candidate that says "Increased user engagement 89% by refactoring our front-end experience in React". What now? Is him better than you? Again, context is king, but you cannot put that much context in a resume.

Mostly you can't buy your way into an Ivy. You have to have the right social connections. When I worked for a New York broker half the partners were outright imbeciles with Yale educations. They got into Yale because of their ridiculous WASP names.
That chart is not of competing technologies, but of market demand and one technology. The classic disruptive chart shows two technologies improving in parallel, but the performance customers demand doesn't increase as fast, so eventually the disruptive technology is "good enough" for those customers (even though the incumbent technology is better still: it "overshoots") and has other desired qualities (like battery efficiency), so customers all switch to it.

Here, of course, Apple is unlikely to sell its chips to other manufacturers... so any disruption will be at the product level: affecting wintel laptops, desktops... and eventually perhaps game consoles and linux servers. Everything.

BTW I really enjoy his theories, but let us note that Christensen himself assessed the iphone as non-disruptive.

Sure as I said, anything is possible, and that can change, but to be fair the iPhone is a consumer device, which was firmly within Apple's wheelhouse already when they were developing the first model.

Do you really think there's a market for dedicated hardware for iOS build servers? I mean there is some market for this since CI vendors already do iOS builds, but it seems like a bit of a stretch to imagine there being enough demand for Apple to actually put the R&D and product development resources into making this a reality.
Presumably not from scratch?
For a smaller company, that doesn't have the ability to dedicate a team of people to authn and authz, OIDC/OAuth/SAML/etc are all extremely complicated tools that take a lot of experience to even begin to understand the terminology. Ask your average engineer to implement logins for an API they'll be able to do it. Ask your average engineer to implement current SSO-like integrations for even the most standard of use cases (website logins) and it's a huge pain. Drift ever so slightly off the beaten path (IoT devices for example) and you're in for a "fun" time.
Using non-Free tools has been shown to be distinctly non-pragmatic under a wide variety of considerations.

> I often listen to lectures from military historians and they quite often have a 'black sheep' feel around them, making self-depreciating jokes about how they still exist, this often leads to good lectures because they are already not inhibited by the conventions and trends other historians tend to follow.

Sort of.

My wife is a historian, so I am friends with an unusually large number of history faculty. There is good military history that is widely respected by the community. The problem is that there are a lot of very old academics who refuse to acknowledge new ideas and methods, leading to a lot of continued publication of bad work.

It isn't military historians being free from conventions that trap other historians. The available analysis methods of modern history are very wide and there isn't a trend trapping the field. If anybody is stubborn and stuck in conventions, it is the aging group of military historians who refuse to integrate new ideas.
Ahh, thanks for the hint. It was a bad typo, but I can't edit my post anymore.

The reason people who drop out of prestigious schools to pursue projects become the most successful is because they are 0% concerned about credentialism for themselves.

The minute you start hiding behind / pursuing opportunities because of social status is the minute you start your descent into laziness and lack of useful impact.

Everything is a balance. I relate to how pursuing prestige in schools can lead to pursuing promos. But in general use Harvard or wherever for great learning, and with promo projects pursue actual meaningful work. It’s really the most sustainable way.

Source: it’s a lot more satisfying to pursue a promo project that helps everyone on your team (e.g., engineering excellence etc).

And yeah obviously students rarely have a correct idea about the real world (just haven’t seen enough of it yet). Interesting hypotheses though.

> The trillion dollar bailouts are central planning.

> In order to criticize a distributed system properly it is necessary to identify those things that are the product of the distributed system, rather than those things that are the product of centralized planning.

What you call "central planning" is merely the emergent behaviour of the "distributed" capitalist system. A certain bearded German economist warned that in such an economy, the state is just another apparatus of the bourgeoisie.

Turning the old cliché on its head, pure capitalism only works in theory, never in practice. In the real world, disparities in money are disparities in power, which ensure things such as bailouts and more fundamentally, banking laws that are effectively a license (for some) to print free money for themselves.

I'm pretty sure that's not true. I doubt there's much of an actual value-add in going to an elite school, but the average incomes of graduates of them are substantially higher than that of random public school graduates.
