For people to young to remember or know, the original "Benchmark Wars" were between Intel and Motorola with NEC, Oki, and Hitachi occasionally getting a punch in there.

I worked at Intel at the time and the 80286 (x86) architecture was going head to head against the 68000 (68k) architecture. The marketing was intense with Motorola consistently using benchmarks that benefited from linear memory access and Intel using benchmarks that benefited from branching and floating point. This was when Intel made a compiler that recognized it was compiling the 'Dhrystone' benchmark and substituted custom hand assembled code for the output of the compiler.

Watching Intel and AMD compete was entertaining because Intel was competing against its own ISA. It added new instructions, AMD created a 64 bit extension, both worked some interesting improvements in memory handling an cache handling.

Adding Apple's take on ARM to the mix is a lot of fun for me. It is like reading a new novel in the Asimov Foundation series or maybe a fourth volume in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I am really glad they are pushing the edge of the envelope here, it is the kind of technology that made me get into computers in the first place.
Looking at the firewall vendors that are listed as official partners here, this looks like another pretty security-lite, native product for companies that are just looking to check a compliance box and not a real enterprise offering.

Similar to the AWS WAF, this seems geared for a smaller team that can't afford the time to deploy and manage virtual security appliances.

It looks like they're following the same formula as the WAF on this one by letting partners provide rulesets.

I'm waiting for AWS to really flesh these products out and eat all these "partners" lunches.
I have become the self-appointed steward of the family photo archive after my aunt pulled a suitcase stuffed with photos out from under the bed in the spare room in her trailer.

The suitcase's original owner, another aunt, "Aunt" Faye, had lived to be 103 years old but had never had children.

And so I got to work scanning I believe over 500 photos — the earliest a tin-type from 1890 or so. Many were then cleaned up in Photos — levels adjusted, scratches and imperfections "healed" digitally. In time I was able to scan more photos from the family and increase my collection. Likely over 1000 now.

Some photos had something written on either the front or back and I also dutifully added metadata to the digital photo describing the text written.

At this time too, I had begun doing some genealogy on Ancestry.com.

As I pored over the photos, trying to determine who was in the photo, where the photo was taken, I began to "know" the people — family dead even before I was born. I could recognize them then. It became easier to approximate the date of the photos too: looking for young relatives in the photos, guessing their apparent age, knowing when they were born from my genealogy.

Eventually they began to sort: first a young Gertrude standing awkwardly in the tin-type as a child, another studio photo and she's about to become a teen, then with her sisters as a young woman, married, with her own children, in her new dress, with her daughter and her daughter's husband, on vacation, with her grandchildren, white-haired with her daughter - now old herself. Finally her headstone.

Entire lives, captured in photographs. And interleaved with the children they gave birth to, who too grew old in photos and also died — and in one case leaving, as it were, a suitcase of these photos that would come to me.

The connectivity of family back past 100 years has never been made so real to me as it has through photos. Maybe I should have been able to see that continuity in the absence of family photos but there they are.

And as I get older I do consider more and more those not yet born. I suppose this digital legacy is one obvious example. I have been spreading the photos as far and wide as I can, not just to far flung relatives but also to Ancestry.com, Find-A-Grave.com, etc. Surprisingly, I have already had relatives I did not know existed reach out to me having stumbled upon some of these photos on Ancestry and Find-A-Grave.

Family photo calendars I created for a few years were sent to two dozen relatives. I have a "family photo album" I am now assembling — I hope to have it done in a year or so and print a few dozen through Lulu.com or similar and send those out to as many relatives who want them as well.
Unless I'm missing something, the "Hemingway Mode" in ghostwriter is not the same as the feature offered by the other editor:

I strongly relate to your comment! I was recently brought into a project where my company was working with a vendor to use their platform to reduce tedious work. Only by repeatedly emailing the vendor specific questions was I able to discover that the internal team had made some significant incorrect assumptions about what the vendor's product does.

To prevent dozens of wasted work hours, we can't be afraid to ask specific questions, even if they might make us look dumb!
I don’t think it skews towards English speakers in particular: it actually skews towards strong communicators in the preferred communication language of the team. A great engineer who can’t communicate effectively with the team due to a language barrier isn’t a very useful team member. It’s tempting to think that technical ability should be the sole measure of someone’s worth as a engineer but that simply not true outside of working in a vacuum.

I don't think Pompeo's reasoning for not doing that is because he thinks China is going to start a hot war with the US by taking down two of its many aircraft carriers. A true war hawk would be salivating at the thought of China stupidly killing a few thousand Americans.
Ah. I see the issue, the HTTPS-Only mode of Firefox and the Encrypt-all-sites mode of HTTPS-Everywhere thinks that you do, because closed TCP ports on your server don't respond to TCP SYN requests at all, whereas normally servers indicate connection refused by sending a TCP RST packet. So anything trying to access HTTPS on your site will just time out.
A single, and final, shot.

EDIT: I'm not saying the US should ever go to war with North Korea, only that there is no possible outcome where North Korea goes to war with the US that does not result in the total decapitation of military capacity of North Korea. It would be like when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor to "demoralize the American people". It just doesn't work that way.
Revisiting the Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data (2017)
"Core ML optimizes on-device performance by leveraging the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine while minimizing its memory footprint and power consumption."

Apple has always been good at running ML on device, as opposed to Google's approach of sending everything to the cloud, then mining all your data, selling it, tracking it, etc. One example is iPhotos, which implements feature detection on-device, while Google implements it in the cloud.

If they can't even communicate in person because they aren't familiar with English, they shouldn't even be considering a remote job where they have to write and overcommunicate in English all the time.

I'm not American and I don't live in USA. But when a communication center with high density of population is infected at the beginning of a new epidemic it's quite logical this happening. When the pandemic expand to low density areas 6/7 months later when we know a lot of ways to reduce the contaminations, it's not normal this is hapenning.
I myself just decided not to drink it for a month. I had to think it through because it turned out I has a variety of habits that led me to having another glass of Cola, and I had to consciously modify them and keep the goal in mind for the whole time. It is a bit tiring, but you can do it for a month if you really concentrate on it. And then I discovered by the end of the month the craving is practically gone. My habits changed. And then a bit later I discovered I actually don't even like the stuff, so it takes me no effort to keep away from it. I was additionally motivated by rather scary blood test I've got which hinted my health could be in danger very soon if I don't stop, so keeping it in mind was easier.

I have no idea but lawyers provide free consultations for these things. They work on commission typically, so they want you have to a strong case. I would speak to you and see if you have a case. Right now though, nothing has happened and you have no case. Let the company dig their own hole or laugh it off with you. Don't give anyone any ammunition against you. If the IT guy, your manager, external contractors, etc. catch any flak for what happened they'll redirect the blame to you. Just hold your ground and don't yell or get angry.

I also think it's possible you're blowing this up out of proportion and you being a temp would explain why your coworkers didn't have your back. If they're set on firing you, just make sure they throw you some money for the hassle. Is it possible it's not a big deal? It is all kind of ridiculous after all.

“If you’re a strong writer and you can consume information in written formats really well, you’ll probably have an easier time transitioning to a remote team than someone who prefers face-to-face communication.”

Inspiring young employees to read and become more articulate is something the best managers and organizations do. Few people enter the workforce being ultra-literate. Who writes love letters, anymore? Who bothers to inspire, or to be inspired? A scarce currency is only more precious.

I haven't kept up too much about how they did this. Is this ultimately just about faking uname(2) in the homebrew scripts? I would imagine Apple would make the mach-o loader transparently run rosetta when they see an x86 binary in response to execve(2). In other words, why doesn't it "just work"?

This is really good help thanks
I joined a new company recently (during pandemic; July). The onboarding was not so smooth. I was constantly following up here and there to get things done (e.g access to tools with IT), more importantly to get to the part with whom do I need to follow up and how to follow up; figuring this out was another follow up.

I created an onboarding guide last week (for my team) which was a very small thing for me (created a document on confluence in an hour). But the amount of response I got was overwhelming (IMO bit too much compared to how i expected to be yet-another-document).

Considering the number of people who have good engineering skills vs good writing skills (I think very few people are good at writing), I think writing is more difficult.

Heya, we (Mosh) are fans of Browsh and are happy to talk if we can be helpful! It's definitely doable to expose (and directly link with) the Mosh networking and terminal libraries if you're unhappy depending on the executables. You're not wrong that our release cadence has also fallen off a cliff, probably for similar reasons to you (this has been a tough year for our active maintainer).

Honestly I think of Mosh as mostly "done" at this point (with the exception of 24-bit color support which everybody wants and which we have in Git), and I'm wary of stepping back into the ring myself as the original maintainer who hasn't looked at the code in a long time, and screwing up a release that ends up botching our so-far-good (knock on wood) security record. Which will just take up way MORE time...

Eventually it is a numbers game. It is likely cheaper to make large numbers of relatively fast offensive missiles than it is to make an equal number of fast AND exceptionally accurate defensive missiles. This is why the US Department of Defense is going in so heavily on microwave and laser technologies. By layering multiple overlapping technologies like this (along with upgraded satellites to pinpoint launches as they happen and help determine the target), you have a much higher likelihood of success. However, if it was just missiles vs missiles, the aggressive side always has a better chance. They just need to have 1-2 successes to cause mayhem. The defender has to have 100% success to prevent mayhem.

I think you're right, "manipulative" has negative connotations that aren't appropriate in this context. When a baby is overcome with distress and cries instinctively I think it's important to always soothe them, when they cry as a mix of displeasure and communication then depending on the baby it may not be necessary to rush to them every time.

He said "price" not "launch cost".

Yes, SpaceX probably has OK margins, but when we're considering how much of SpaceX's manifest is Starlink, this is not really relevant. There's been 9 launches + 3 launches that are 5% not Starlink = 9.15 launches worth of non-Starlink revenue.

And even having this different argument you're triyng to have, SpaceX's margins are not so good that collecting 5% of nominal market price will put them in the black for that launch... That's just fantasy.

This is so different to the people I speak to in my region (not a tech center!). Most visible is push back against Facebook. During COVID, the local volunteer (mostly retirees) steam railway paid for and setup a good old emailing list, and not a Facebook group as many people seem to expect. At the most recent local election, a young candidate (who ended up winning a seat) in her platform had stated not using Facebook for communications and was even quoted as saying 'Fuck Facebook' from Q&A sessions. I have four elderly parents, none of whom use Facebook. During COVID, Zoom birthdays have taken over from face-to-face gatherings. While I have Signal installed, mostly people are sticking with SMS for messaging. One of the neighborhood groups uses Telegram. Google really means the search engine, email and Youtube. Nobody logs into Youtube and find it creepy when it remembers what they have been doing. It is not entirely like this, with a number of active community Facebook groups for things like 'free stuff' and 'want to buy/sell', and some businesses that are only online on Facebook, from when that was still cool. But it isn't cool any more.
It was a key dependency for this and they also broke it out into a separate product.

But you just did. So what does the emoji add to communication? And how does one get the secret decoder ring for it?

There are plenty of emojis that mean different things in different cultures. Some quite amusing.
That's true - but the article is not about technical writing, nor is technical writing the key to smooth communication for remote workers. (Obviously it might help though.)

Many great writers are far too verbose and indirect to be great examples of how to succinctly communicate.

Again, the term 'writing' is totally misapplied.

Most people have sufficient writing skills, the issue is content which is where most of us are lacking.

If anything I would think this is the opposite. Written communication above verbal/face-to-face gives the non-native speaker greater time to formulate their correspondence, look things up if necessary, and use translation tools for help. On the flip side they may get less from language-agnostic channels such as body language, but I think that is a small loss compared to the gains.
But English skill is a major component of being a strong communicator in English.

Native English speakers who practice speaking English every minute of their lives would be at a huge advantage.

It's very plausible that we would place assets in orbit to intercept ICBMs, similar to the Strategic Defense Initiative.

Claiming they have no competency is silly since a good portion of their business is National Security Space Launch missions.
Remote Work and the Evolution of the Corporate Network
My question is what is the play for Intel and AMD right now? Are they shitting their pants or is this something that was somewhat expected given the progression of Apple's chips and their announced plans? Do Intel/AMD understand how Apple managed to so outmaneuver them? Is the performance gain Apple has delivered an inherent advantage of ARM over x86, and if so, does that imply that we are going to be seeing a migration to ARM in the PC space in the coming decade?

I'm deeply fascinated by these questions. I'd love it if someone in the chip design industry who is knowledgeable about the situation would comment.
>It was doing it last year after the US unilaterally pulled out of the agreement

And who are we should thank for it? Iran clearly sees the difference between North Korea and Libya, and it clearly does not want to be the latter. The US stupid move was just the last droplet. Hopefully with the new administration the situation can be salvaged.

>Note that Qasem Soleimeini was killed in Iraq. The point being the Iran meddles in their neighbors affairs.

Oh, wow. According to the Iraqi prime minister he was on a diplomatic mission to ease tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia. He was unlawfully (under both US and international law) assassinated in a clear and blatant violation of the Iraq sovereignty.

And compare the Iran "meddling" with the US openly creating military bases in Syria without any authorization from the Syrian government (you think anything you like about it, but it's still an internationally recognized government) and open military support of rebel forces, often closely related to jihadists. Also we have the rejection of the Iraqi parliament′s call to withdraw US troops.
