I think Docker for Mac should just use x86 emulation for the time being -- apparently the new Apple chips don't support virtualization?

x86 emulation gives access to most available Docker images anyways -- and the performance of the new CPUs would seems to indicate that emulation may not be so terrible, at least for the short term.
This article as well as many others confuses meaning of "infection" and "disease". This is a very important distinction.
The Pfizer press release says it is 90% effective at preventing the disease [1], it does not say the vaccine prevents infection.

COVID-19 = the name for the disease cased by the virus

SARS-CoV-2 = the name of the strain of coronavirus that causes the COVID-19 disease.

This vaccine is 90% effective at preventing the disease, but while infected, you have replicating RNA in your body and will be contagious.

It counts for a lot, but it’s not like that’s all people use Python for. There are also other languages with similar amounts of lesser friction to get going.

And those things aren’t enough to justify building large software out of.

Nobody is a fan of extra charges, but I am quite happy with Stripe since it's simple enough to use, by now powerful enough to be used even with bigger customers and for us it was the biggest road to being able to send out invoices to customers abroad which can be paid via Credit Card quickly.

Look at it this way: If you're serving big customers on annual plans you can always include text on your invoice about how they can pay via SWIFT / SEPA wire transfer. Of course you're still eating the currency conversion and bank handling fees for accepting those payments.

For us the pain of the 2.9% + 0.5% percent is not big enough to warrant even researching cheaper alternatives. If someone has hot tips for something that allows me to charge via Credit Card, accept payments in various currencies, and has an invoicing and subscription product built in I'm all ears!
He doesn't work for them anymore.
we’re exactly in the same situation.

1. Am I doing something that challenge me in the way that I like.

2. Do I have ownership?
I predict with enough time this will become a standard practice. So much so that in enough time, many company's will stop supporting Intel on Mac entirely (aka, <2020 Macs)
Re: Licensing Issue: I saw a list recently of the royalty rates different online music sites pay. Google Music was paying the highest rate, by far. So that is probably part of it.

The first AS Macs are targeted at people who don't need things like docker. Eventually all the support needed will be available. It's a two year transition, you have to start somewhere.
I religiously upgraded every machine up until this same release. I never had issues, and my tenure began at Tiger. Everything was smooth sailing – perhaps because I made sure to take a backup before every upgrade which might have protected me from Murphy's law.

I am also sitting still on Mojave. In the past there were usually compelling reasons to upgrade - in terms of quality of life and performance. Catalina, in my use cases, doesn't really do a whole lot for me. I can't think of a single feature that I want aside from perhaps the standalone Podcasts app. But because of all the noise raised during the last upgrade season from Mojave to Catalina I decided that the juice definitely wasn't gonna be worth the squeeze.

So now I have pretty much decided to just cruise this 2018 MBP along on Mojave until I replace the machine entirely. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Your industry experience aside, are you asking why a ~2500 person company can't magically copy the latest tactic of a ~15000 company for just one of its product types? Are you asking why one niche of a clothing brand doesn't just do what the prime source for one of the most popular clothing items of all time does?

Or would you like to dive into the logistics of customized manufacturing when applied to ~$200 items?

There is one Spotify feature I started enjoying lately: Seamless playback between all connected players (including Chromecast) and every instance works as a remote for the other players. Just great!!

You can read my response like you read the original article. In my post I state why the premise of the original article is false. What else do you read in my post?
Guido is not a Physics Nobel Laureate. Going with the Physics analogy, Python is more like an overgrown masters level project, not a Nobel prize level by far. He did a good job at growing the Python community, and this is a great achievement! It requires certain personal traits not everyone has. But at the technical level, he made many beginners mistakes when designing Python, which he tried to fix later, but not always successfully.

Maybe this should be formalized, like automatically get open tabs into easily searchable persistent storage, whether they are called Bookmarks or not. Then they can be closed by prompting to "clean up".

Maybe even skip that manual step entirely. People use browser histories like emails now -- by searching, not by active organizing.
The internet has a lot of people - you're probably not the only one scared.

Care to explain what's worrying you though?
I was in the process of writing an email to the mods requesting that they change it to be more accurate when I found they'd already changed it. Apparently I'm not the only user to do so, since someone beat me to it. I have no associations with YC, HN, or Stripe.
Why do you say that the results aren't impressive?
49% reduction in all cause mortality when High intensity interval training is compared to moderate intensity continuous training seems like a very strong result.
> I upgraded to Catalina 5-8 months after it was released, mostly because the initial rollout was so rocky (at least according to the articles on HN).

The last part is the key: people who have problems usually complain loudly and widely, so there's a huge sampling bias. I've been using and supporting Macs professionally since the 90s. In that time, I've had exactly one case where a day one upgrade broke something — 10.4 shipped with a bug where all NFS exports were read-only — as long as you did a check first to confirm that any commercial software you were using was supporting (e.g. Adobe sometimes had fairly long delays).

There are two common problems you'll see frequently: a system which was already failing will be attributed to the new OS (I've seen people claim it broke their hard drive, when it was really just the first problem which couldn't be excused as a fluke), and people will often say that their system got slow because Spotlight / Photos were reindexing in the background.
If you are using gatsby, please be prepared before upgrading. I had lots of problems using it. I couldn't run "gastby build" successfully in big sur. I tried much but couldn't solve it. Also, i had problems with webpacker as well. So, i downgraded it. I was using beta big sur but i'm not totaly sure it is fixed by now. Please do a research and if you do, please let me now.

Apple uses Akamai for Apple Music, so I wonder why that doesn't work for macOS updates. I guess they never felt the need to invest in serious CDN infrastructure for Mac updates since it's a smaller user base?
I think it's just kind of like the economic version of something like "in the future, you will be able to seamlessly communicate with everyone, constantly!" - which is true and can be turned into a really nice, cleanly-looking scifi promotional video. But then the reality of that is you have 12 different ways of sending text to other people and you can never remember which one each person prefers; the apps all spy on you and are owned by different corporations that are held at gunpoint by different governments, not to mention that you're stressed to the gills by all the notifications and absolutely everything is covered in advertisements.
Still worth sharing so that people are aware. I was in the market for these machines and holding on until their release, but I started going through my tools to see what was supported or not, and no docker is a no-go for me.
Matches with me experience, the only effective way I've ever managed to export my drive is via FUSE mount systems :/

There's a path from falling to bacterial pneumonia that, as one person put it, means that "The death certificate says the cause of death is pneumonia, but the real cause of death was falling."

I'm fuzzy on the degree to which HIIT would contribute to lower incidence of falling injuries. Meanwhile I have a large pool of anecdata about yoga and taichi, some of it first person (I have, in the last five years, tried very hard to break my own ankle on several occasions, but walked away without even a sprain).

The M1 does support virtualization. Parallels is already working. I don't know how long it will take to get HyperKit working on Apple Silicon.

QEMU would allow running x86 images on Apple Silicon but I don't know if the performance would be acceptable. You can't use Rosetta 2 with Linux no matter how much you might like to.
Related: I once had a course called psychology of game-design. It was an amazing subject that I absolutely loved. One caveat, the teacher was an absolute authoritarian dictator that took away a lot of our freedom in how we were allowed to take this class (e.g. you didn't take your book to lecture? You fail the class instantly). That completely killed the fun for me of the whole course. I think there are parallels here with the working world.

Contrast that with another course called gaming and technology. It was relatively similar in content, but the teacher was quite good at facilitating and slightly below average at teaching. This resulted in people who aren't independent learners not liking the course and the independent learners loved the course.

Ultimately, there were also all-star teachers whom everyone loved.

One of the fondest memories I had was when I went to an honours program and saw teachers auditioning in front of us. One teacher was so amazing at presenting that I didn't even care for what she was teaching, I just took her course because she was an amazing presenter (and teacher, I later found out).

When I look at the satisfaction from those courses, I can see how external circumstances at work are way more important than the work you're actually going to do.
That's impressive. We struggle to find a way to "migrate" from AWS Aurora 1 to 2 (that is from MySQL 5.6 to 5.7). There seems to be no (easy) way to upgrade without downtime for large databases.
Sounds like sin #1 to me - Your face presumably still has the same shape, so that's password reuse ;)
I feel that spinning this as a several-year grace period is a bit disingenuous. I'm a huge Stripe fan, but this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Here's the exact notification that went out on April 6, 2018 in the dashboard:

"As a user of Stripe Subscriptions, you will get all the functionality of Stripe Billing's starter plan with no change in price. You can continue using it free of charge on your existing Stripe pricing, even beyond the $1M free threshold. This will be automatically applied to your account. Contact support@stripe.come with any pricing questions"

As far as I can see, the Billing Starter plan has not changed and still applies. Not only that, it claims we get "all the functionality of Stripe Billing.." when this hasn't been the case for a few months. New features have been gated recently, ie. the new customer portal.

You have every right to change your pricing how you see fit. However, if this message was worded as it being a grace period, we would have taken steps two years ago to consider other tools or building something in-house.
Hmm, maybe they render differently in different browsers? To me, 0, 2, 8, 20, 56, 68, and more all look exactly the same.
Woah, this is neat!
Better than "my opinion for which I've not even attempted to see if the data can be contorted to support", which is still the stage we're at for a lot of our industry since it's such a new field.
Stop pretending that there's an easy empirical answer to everything, and accept the nature of complex domains.
Given that the comment you're replying to mentions support for WebExtensions being added to Safari, does that mean we can expect to see uBlock Origin support sometime in the near future?
No, I've seen no evidence of this. Docker Desktop does not work [on Apple Silicon] in any form today.
Count me out of Safari until it has world class dev tools
He should have called their bluff and failed the quiz on purpose. What are they going to do?
Safari is my favorite browser. It is only missing some sort of containers or personas functionality. Those features are really good in Chrome/Firefox.
PSA: Big Sur forgets where apps' windows are when plugging back into an external display

https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/651131?answerId=64...
https://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/jt0gjk/big_sur_forge...

I've been on the public beta of Big Sur for months (and issued Feedback Assistant bug reports on this). As of 11.0.1, there's still a dealbreaker bug for people who use external monitors.

If you unplug an external display and then plug it back in, none of your apps' windows (which were on the external display’s Space beforehand) are visible or where they used to be. The external monitor’s Space usually appears completely empty.

I genuinely hope Apple fixes this ASAP.

I'm the GP, and I also switched to iCloud Drive. But thanks to a comment above I've moved my _sync folder back to Dropbox and use Maestral as my Mac Dropbox client and it's been working great for the past 18 hours or so.

I switched _sync back because Alfred and other apps warned that using iCloud Drive for sync doesn't work great because it doesn't always update properly, and I've found that to be the case.
Yes, Intel makes parts with more cores, but their entry level chips only have two cores.

Apple chips with more cores will come in time as well.

It's the per core performance, especially at a given power draw, that matters going forward.
Hi, I'm a PSF Director and the PSF's Treasure as of this year. For transparency, our tax returns as of 2018 (and soon 2019) are up on https://www.python.org/psf/records/

That's enough for passing familiarity with what the algorithms are / pointers to reference material when appropriate. Not nearly enough to perform on command from memory in 20-40 minutes.
If the world moves on to ARM from x86, it will be interesting to see what happens in the GPU/Accelerated computing space. I'm guessing AMD/Intel will probably not support an ARM pairing anytime soon.
I particularly liked this tweet:

Processing margins are thin and they have a valuation ($36B) to justify, so they have to grow product margins where they can ("going upmarket"). Market realities/constraints.
Password cycling studies show that it generally weakens passwords and only increases the likelihood that fallible human beings recycle the same (variations of) passwords across multiple services.

About all this article shows that is the only "complexity" test that matters is that a password shouldn't be in the Top X most used passwords, and X may be as low as 10 (much less the thousands you can easily check with Pwned Passwords) if you are attempting (distributed) password spray detection in your login systems, MFA, etc.
Children raised by married parents is very much the norm around the world. It is definitely unusual. Whether it's developed or not is just your, frankly strange, opinion.

And if people responsible for awarding research grants within tech decide not to investigate whether there is discrimination against women, or tech companies decline to give full access to their data.

Then the quality of evidence that you demand can't exist - in that case, should nothing be done about it?
It's actually abnormal to actively throw away things. It's not how the brain works. Do you actively try to "forget" things? Very rarely.

We only need to throw away physical objects due to space constraints and rearrangement/search cost. Mental and virtual objects can decay away and there is no rearrangement cost when they are already organized by relevance.
Fun historical story about Microsoft and Python. I worked there for a bit back in the mid-90s when they acquired a startup who's merchant server software was written in Python 1.12 or something. After Microsoft acquired, it became the engine for running ecommerce on MSN, and eventually became part of the SiteServer suite. The first port to run the software at Microsoft involved wrapping the Python code with a shim that exposed it as COM interfaces. I think it was eventually rewritten in C++ with ATL or something, but that was after I was no longer there.

I still remember the first O'Reily pink Python book waiting on my desk back then when I joined.
Prior to Big Sur I found that it stuttered one sites with scrolling, like Twitter. I would like to use it, but it got too annoying, Firefox is fine. This is on a 16" MB Pro with i9 and lots of ram.

I'm mildly curious about the details of Benford's law, etc., but one of the strongest signals that something is afoot is how widespread the censorship has been on this. When I see that, I start with the assumption that what's being censored is likely true.

The other night, I realized that of the various sources I trawl, some of the best analysis going on to knock down invalid theories of fraud is happening on TD. (Note that I said "best", not necessarily "good".) Why is this happening? Because those discussions have been wiped off of most other sites.

No matter how you feel about the claims, this is an appalling state of affairs.
Please don't, keep being fun!

It works here on HN too, many of my comments are upvoted jokes and I liked yours. It's sad it attracted animosity though.

I like browsing HN mostly for the interesting discussions, but I enthusiastically take the occasional jokes that come with them.

(I might have been upvoted by people taking my jokes seriously now that I think about it. I don't know if this is a terrifying or a funny thought!)
Pwned Passwords is a most common password (hashes) database compiled from years of breach data: http://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

Ask HN: Why do people dislike Google Analytics?
I see this pretty often on HN where users will not use an application if it incorporates Google Analytics, but I'm not really sure why. If anyone can help me out that would be super helpful. It also seems pretty difficult to write a custom solution over Google Analytics, so I'm wondering what people recommend instead?
