Is there a name for this trait of bringing unnecessary precision to a discussion, I wonder?

I mean, contextually it’s obvious that the previous poster meant this is the slowest Apple Silicon that will ever exist in a relevant and comparable use case - i.e. a laptop or desktop. And the clarification that yes, slower Apple Silicon may exist for other use cases didn’t really add value to the discussion.

And I’m not even being snide to you - I’m genuinely interested whether there’s a term for it, because I encounter it a lot - in life, and in work. ‘Nitpicking’ and ‘splitting hairs’ don’t quite fit, I think?
Looks like a great start. I worked in this space for a couple years with Cladwell [0] and would be happy to chat with you on what worked and didn't. Definitely came with it's own scaling issues as our users would add 400 items from their closets, generating tens of millions of outfits!

You're envisioning using a touchscreen device much like you'd use your smartphone which is flawed to say the least. Having used a touchscreen laptop for the last 6+ years, I assure you there's a place for touch in laptops. The arguments against touch on a laptop are much like arguing against any other peripheral used.

> Try reaching your hand up to touch your monitor and hold it there for a minute. Now try pretending you’ll do this for an 8 hour workday.

This is asinine and you know it. That's akin to arguing that we shouldn't use mice or touchpads by saying "just try typing with an onscreen keyboard all day using point and click."
Yeah, it'd be dead simple to pull this off with false information.
I still agree with your sentiment but wouldn't have writing more code still made you a better programmer when you were presumably still learning?
Since the beginning if the quarantine, 90,000 people left San Francisco. Nothing shocking when just spelt out.
Yet another reason why I do not want to live in the great white north.

Although, in time depending on how politics slants in the US there actually may be positive tax advantages for upper middle class earners ($150k-290k).
> What type (and how big) should length be?

size_t.
Yep, you can add items you own in the closet, then you can generate outfits with only those items.

Re: measurements...that's on our roadmap.

That can definitely be implemented without much effort.
A single counter-example doesn't make it all wrong.

Perhaps a committee was involved.
I've noticed that some people seem to have an intrinsic desire for privacy. Desire is possibly even to weak of a word, but I can't come up with a better one. I have it, one of my daughters has it. My wife does not.

I would say that I do not feel like me if I don't have time that is unobserved by others (and I'm not using this as a euphemism for masturbation). Even though the things I do then are typically inane. My browser history is fairly inane, and yet I would not publish it.

I had kind of noticed this before, but didn't really have to put it into words until trying to explain my daughter's need for privacy to my wife. She is a very empathetic person, but it took several conversations for her to start to get the idea that "I want to do something without someone looking over my shoulder" is different from "I want to hide what I'm doing from someone" (though absolutely the latter can be used as a smokescreen for the former, particularly by teenagers).
Would love to see similar stats for NYC.
Your comment was flagged because it’s nonsense. Nobody disputes that N95>surgical mask>cloth face covering. However the administration failed to provide N95s so we work with what we have. Show me a peer reviewed study on the ‘dangers’ of masking, not some crackpot on Twitter.
Games (many in C++ with one or two features beyond basic C). All kind of solvers. GPU programming.

C sucks when you need convenience of big standard library or safety above performance. There is nothing like C when you care about speed, memory footprint and efficient memory management. It's great other languages took over in areas C is terrible at but it's not like areas when it's the best and often they only option disappeared.
Not defending the youtube-dl take down, but you can write a story about a boy living under a closet with an abusing adopted family who finds out he is a wizard and there is nothing anybody with the rights to Harry Potter can do about it. Copyright protects concrete versions, not abstract ideas (very much by design, and very much deliberate).
Wow that thing looks amazing
Well that pretty much settles the matter, doesn't it.

Good luck ending up with homeopathy kick off working drugs of the market. If reputation could destroy those, it already would have.
It would be interesting to see the raw data and compare to the base rate (exodus / ingress over the last few years). The article doesn’t seem to link to its data source.
white mocassins are silly. They would get dirty in a second.
Because of the major cities in each state. Parts of New York are very red. those parts just aren't urban.
I don't know that that's a fair comparison. Just because it's an ARMv8 chip doesn't mean it's directly comparable to what's in smartphones. (I assume you aren't comparing it to Apple made chips for iPhone specifically, since then it wouldn't be true that it's in "basically every smartphone in the world".)

In particular, this is the first 5nm chip to be widely available, and by most accounts on performance it competes with top of the line hardware at a small fraction of the power use. Most existing ARM chips are designed for the very-low-power market, e.g. in phones, not to be used in a high performance laptop.

If there's a Dell or Thinkpad laptop with an ARM chip that's comparable, by all means, let me know.
They reaped billions in profits. The issue is that organizations can't turn it on and off based on competition, once you are rich and lazy, the organization fills up with coasters and before they know it they no longer have a higher gear. Remains to be seen if Intel can come back, but I doubt it under their current leadership.
that's rationalization, not science. feel free to wear a mask everywhere if it makes you feel better and aligns with your mediosocial affiliations, but the breadth of science show that masks are effective in specific, marginal situations, not everywhere, and that its population-level effects are drowned out by other, better mitigations.
Do people actually care about GPUs in their laptops? It seems like any semi-serious gamer would have strong incentives to have a desktop (modular, the prestige of building you own rig). And anyone using GPUs for compute is just going to remote into some server.
I am really enjoying the ReMarkable 2. I wish the display were more "actual" paper size of course (it's 10.3" diagonal (no margins) rather than US Letter's more typical 13.8" diagonal (no margins), or even a moleskin's 11" diagonal (no margins))

That said, sketching/writing are just as good as they are on the iPad Pro or Surface Pro. The pen/glass "feel" is no worse than those other two solutions either (but no better either). Very low latency, easy page switching. The iPad's rapid zoom in / zoom out is helpful in sketchpad for drawing details which epaper clearly has challenges with. But In terms of taking notes or writing down things as I'm coding and need to get back to? It's super awesome.

I've also put PDFs of data sheets on it which are easy to read (if a bit shrunk). The PDF reader is functional, same with the EPub viewer, would like to have the click the page to turn pages that the kindle and other apps on touch screens do.

Syncing with the computer is pretty seamless.

I don't like that it clears the screen and puts "reMarkable is sleeping" on the screen when I've had it sitting open with a PDF. There may be an option to change that but I haven't found it yet.

All in all I'm glad I got it and I've been using it pretty much every other day or so.
It looks nice to me, I love the transparent sidebars especially.

Though I did also like the vista look when it come out.
I recently got my RM2 and love it. I already own a 13" iPad Pro with the pencil, but for being a notebook, the RM2 easily beats the iPad. Yes, there is way better software on the iPad and you get all kind of fancy drawing tools. Where the RM2 beats the iPad is:

- it looks and feels like paper. No glowing screen, textured surface, it just feels like writing with a pen.

- the always-on display. I use the ReMarkable as my notebook while working and can have it in front of my all day long. You still can see the screen content when it goes to sleep after 20 minutes (sleep can be deactivated) and you can even have it preserve the content when it switches off after 3 hours. So you keep your notes in view. With the iPad, it turns itself off quickly and of course uses way more power.

- overall I think it has the better design for this purpose than the iPad, I have the book-like cover and love it.

- hackability. I need to learn more about that, but you can ssh into it and have a normal linux shell. Try that with an iPad :p. It seems to be very easy to cross compile Go programs for the ReMarkable.

I consider this a funny story. You might consider it just sad...

Preface: my style could be considered wanting when it comes to picking out my own clothes. Many years ago, I did a complete refresh of my clothes because nothing fit and everything was well-worn. So I took a buddy whom I considered stylish to Nordstrom's and he, along with the salesperson, took what I gave them as my budget and general requirements to pick out a complete wardrobe. They did so. However, there were so many different items and colors and I didn't know how to mix and match. So my friend devised the following list which I still keep:

Matching:

Yellow Polo goes everything but black (blue and mocha best)

Blue check goes with gray and stone (blue and stone best)

Dark tan herringbone goes with black, camel, tan, stone (olive and mocha ok)

Camel (shiney) goes with tan, black, mocha, and olive

Camel (short-sleeve button down) goes with mocha, olive, and black (tan is average)

Eggplant/Plum button down goes with blue, black, gray, camel, mocha, and tan

Taupe goes with tan, stone, black, and camel (not blue)

Purple goes with tan, stone, black, camel, blue, and mocha (not olive)

Blue/Gray (slate) t-shirt goes with tan, black, and navy (stone is best and camel is ok)

Sky blue t-shirt goes with everything but olive (tan and stone are best, black is ok)

Burgundy t-shirt goes with everything (olive best)

Olive/Green t-shirt goes with stone, tan, black, camel, and mocha (olive is ok)

Black pants always black belt

Tan (with black) -> black

Tan (with lighter/softer) -> brown

Yellow -> brown

Tan goes with either

Herringbone goes with either

Green -> brown

Mocha will almost always wear brown (except if black pants, then either)

Black and blue pants will be black shoes except for light shirt (e.g., yellow)

Stone will more often go with brown except with purple and black shirt (though not necessary)

Treat gray as black

Socks always match pants or darker

Earth tone pants with black socks ok in bind

Don't mix belt and shoes

Served me many years. Sadly, none of those clothes fit me anymore. So here I am again...

Use wcspbrk.

UTF-8 continuation characters are limited to the range \200 through \300 so there's basically zero chance that if you choose something like comma as your delimiter that it's going to tokenize the middle of a multibyte sequence.

Also take into consideration that, under the hood, functions like strpbrk() are typically accelerated by CPU instructions such as PCMPISTRI which doesn't support UTF-8 natively but it does support UCS-2.

My favourite part about this is that he's clearly not bragging or anything. He's just explaining this view, but his threshold is so ridiculously high that it completely defeats the explanation and he doesn't even realize it because he's been doing it for 30 years. In the audio, you can hear him talk with such sincerity.

Absolutely love it.
> I'm unconvinced about array access returning Maybe being a good idea, because it's generally a bug, not actual uncertainty.

So that's the thing: in JS (where I spend most of my time) I never wrap an array access in a try/catch even though it could throw. Rather, I probably have an if statement that wraps up any array access I'm unsure about. That way I avoid throwing for the out-of-bounds case. So I'm with you there: if I wrote Elm the way I write JS it would be clumsy and redundant.

However I don't write Elm the way I write JS. That if-block for safety I mentioned earlier? I usually move that into the Nothing case when my Dict/List/Array access/query came up empty. In Elm you have to consider that the array access could go out of bounds, that you could end up trying to get the head of an empty list, that you could query a Dict with a key it doesn't have. Rather than move those to an if block surrounding same, we usually move those inside. In Haskell you can leave those cases undefined, natch. I like that in Elm there is no such thing as undefined behavior.

I've heard some very rad things about Zig so I'll definitely be checking it out soon.
Looks great! Love the clean and simple UI
Yep, for full disclosure, I work in healthcare pricing and payments and adjust claims myself.

While discount programs focus on the uninsured, this is the first time I’m seeing the discount being framed in such a way that it effectively incentivizes paying out of pocket. It’s an important incentive if your goal is to decouple routine drugs from the third-party-payer model of insurance.

Health insurance in the US is actually 3 different services bundled into one: (1) risk sharing for catastrophic care, (2) access to low prices (called "fee schedules"), and (3) tax advantaged pre-payment for non-catastrophic care. 40-80% discount on drug prices essentially competes with insurance company fee schedules, i.e. service (2). By offering what amounts to insurance rates without charging insurance premiums, Amazon is essentially decoupling the fee schedules from risk sharing. That's a really underrated side effect of this product offering, and can have long run impacts on the industry (IMO for the better).
Now can we get nVidia drivers back for MacOS? Give me the ability to run an nVidia eGPU natively in Mac OS and I'll keep buying apple for the foreseeable future! Sure, my remote box with a "proper" gpu is fine, but Mac OS will always be the best medium between Linux and something that's actually useable day to day. I love linux, but god could I not use it as a daily driver.
Yeah. When I'm guessing how long something will last, I guess it's about halfway through its life unless I have really good information to the contrary. Intel was founded in 1968, so let's say it will shut down in 2072 (give or take...many...years). And Fortune 500 companies don't seem to totally shrink back to startup head count and revenue even when they go bankrupt—they might have significant revenue but even more expenses. So it seems pretty reasonable to guess Intel will be around with (at least) $20B of revenue in 2060, in spite of their rough patch today.
At least in Germany the closing quotation mark is the other way around like „this“
When are we going to stop playing the blame game in regards to COVID? When it's cases in middle America surging, observers are "not surprised". How can this comment be taken as anything but scorn and disdain for rural Americans? It's repugnant.

Where was this same sentiment when places like NYC were getting swamped with Covid? Anyone?

I'm so damn tired of this holier-than-thou approach to COVID, and life in general. It gets nobody anywhere, except for making the person casting aspersions feel better than the ones they're looking down on.

If anything, this pandemic sure has made people show their true colors. Always a good thing, I suppose

Wasn't that proof using a paradox, though? Then that basically really proves the existence of paradoxes. It doesn't disprove the existence of all other kinds of statements, of course.

A statement 'x == 1' might be contextual (with a free variable x), but I think the theory is talking more about statements like

for all x
(x + 1)^ 2 == x^2 + 2*x + 1

which is true and does not depend on x. Contrast that with

for all x
x == 1

which is obviously false.

But the proof outlined in the article constructed a statement with a free variable, where a substitution with a certain value leads to a statement which is neither true, nor false. That means that the general statement in the proof's example is neither true nor false either.

Sorry about the awkward terminology, BTW, my engineering degree was a decade ago and in a language other than English.

We've been looking at cladwell too, their app is cool, but we noticed that its catered more towards women and we've had user's mention this as well.
I definitely agree with you from an investment standpoint. Bitcoin as a short term (and maybe even long term) investment is a horrible idea in my eyes as its value is all over the place.

But from the definition on Wikipedia, a Ponzi scheme is a form of fraud, which itself Wikipedia defines as "intentional deception". I wouldn't say that Bitcoin or the Bitcoin project itself is intentionally trying to deceive you into using it as an investment. Maybe all the companies that are advertising Bitcoin as an investment are though.

I also do believe Bitcoin is overvalued currently. It makes sense to me that the value of each Bitcoin would grow over time, just not at the crazy speed it's currently growing at.

That is a remarkable claim - do you have a citation?

Can you elaborate on that?

To be clear I wasn't suggesting that Cobalt is a replacement for Electron. Electronic has a lot of its own APIs too.

Rather, I wonder if Cobalt could be better than Servo along some dimensions as an engine for something like Electron.

Symbolic Regression: The Forgotten Machine Learning Method
Right you are. Wiki says since 1.2. It looks pretty good.

I just spotted JavaFX Script. Huh. This is almost directionally correct. So of course it got killed.

If you're curious what The Correct Answer™ is, imagine VRML-97 reimplemented using JavaFX Script like syntax.

Its wiki has a link to the Curl (programming language). That syntax is also directionally correct. But is also missing most of VRML's semantics.

There's also a link to the F3 programming language, aka "form fits function". Great slogan. Alas. Looks like a misunderstanding of Conal Elliot's Fran functional reactive programming language.

Oh well.

Thanks for the tip. JavaFX's Script w/ CSS was about 1/2 the solution. Maybe someday someone will loop back and harvest the good bits.

They aren't mutually exclusive.

WebKit was originally based on KHTML, but Apple still founded WebKit and controls its source code. Even if WebKit was just Apple's name for their internal fork of KHTML, I don't see any reason they'd retire it.

Blink was originally spun-out of WebKit too. Similarly, Google controls Blink, and the two have diverged significantly in the intervening years. I suspect patches for any of them won't apply cleanly to the other two.

Regardless of their origins; KHTML, WebKit, and Blink are now independent pieces of software.

It's still unclear to me why anyone should expect Apple to retire WebKit for iOS.
Ah, but I don't live in Sweden, I live in NYC. So, mass death is on my mind.

Nobody here panicked in February, or the first week of March. We were more or less going about our daily lives like normal, because that's what the state health people told us to do. Nobody wore masks, nobody social distanced.

By April 1st, NYC was seeing 500 deaths a day and increasing. It's the largest mass casualty event in NYC since 9/11, and was much worse, in body-count terms. It was comparable to the 1918 flu epidemic.

https://www.healio.com/news/infectious-disease/20200821/exce...

Of course, a NYC-level of mass death is absolutely not guaranteed to happen elsewhere. Different populations, different habits, luck- there's variables. But do not tell me that it's media hysteria when you didn't listen to ambulance sirens for a month.
I'd love a truly open source world class search engine. Curious how both the crawler and the search index / search is done by the likes of Google/Bing/DDG. Eventually someone will make an oss version of it that can compete.
