I didn't say unilateral, although I support that as well. The United States is the only country ever to use nuclear weapons, and is also one that I reside in. If I lived in Russia or China, I would advocate for unilateral disarmament in those countries as well. Nuclear weapons are an absolute horror and should be completely eliminated from this planet. The United States (unlike China) does not even have a "No first use" policy -- it reserves the ability to use nuclear weapons aggressively or pre-emptively.

OK, so your paper only takes about mortality. It's a good point that a low percentage of people die from this. Great news. However there's growing evidence pointing to long-term health problems for survivors. Elevated risk of stroke even among young people, heart damage, and long lasting respiratory problems. Since the disease is new, we don't really know the long lasting effects yet. Maybe they will go away after years, we'll see. My neighbor had it and still struggles to breathe and has that widely-described "mind haze" many months later. Point is you can't just look at death rate.

But, for the sake of argument, let's assume you personally are fortunately in the group that won't experience any of these problems. How do you know that everyone you encounter are also in that lucky group? Same for the people they encounter after they encounter you? You don't, and by not following the basic guidance of staying at home and wearing a mask when you have to go out, you're increasing the likelihood that others you meet catch it, and then either die, have long-lasting health problems, or spread it to others.

Now, let's talk about 60-80+ year olds. "They're gonna die anyway so..." So, what, exactly? Increase their chances of dying because we don't want to close Starbucks? I don't think I can really even put myself in the shoes of someone making this argument. Almost everyone has someone in their family or acquaintances in this age range. A mother or grandfather. Maybe a teacher. I don't think you're really saying downplay the virus even if it throws these loved ones under the bus. If this was the year 2060 and you were in this age range (I'm assuming), would you still make this argument?

One thing we can agree on: We're glad it's not more deadly than it is. If COVID were 10x deadlier, or affected people uniformly across age ranges, or if it were 10x more transmissive, we would have been in a world of shit, because people evidently don't have the character to make small uncomfortable sacrifices for the greater good. Even with a 10x worse COVID, we would have just kept insisting on going shopping and partying and accepting more people dying. Which is appalling, really.
I guess we should ditch C from "Programming 101" classes, yes? Better started with friendlier languages like Java/C#/Python etc where beginners can focus on implementing their algorithms without messing with lower level details like pointers, manual memory management, etc.

Of course I'm not saying C is not useful anymore (it still is, for example if you are doing system/kernel programming, very likely you'll deal with C). But this is not the typical case for beginners.
Diablo was released for PC in January 1997, and didn't show up on Mac until May 1998. StarCraft had a similar delay (March 1998 to March 1999).

All three WarCraft games were simultaneous releases for Windows and Mac OS, though.
But compared to x86-64 Macs it's not that much slower, because the x86-64 Macs are using old slower Intel CPUs.

Depends on the app but some of them run faster in Rosetta than they do on comparable PC hardware.

Everyone keeps comparing a SoC designed for low-end (in the Apple lineup/ecosystem) to the Ryzen. As the AnandTech review noted, the M1 bests even the Ryzen on some benchmarks and Ryzen beats it in others.

The point everyone conveniently seems to miss is a new SoC for mobile devices running at 10-20 watts shouldn't be in the same universe when it comes to performance with any Ryzen desktop processor—but here we are.

It's disingenuous to state the only reason M1 seems fast is because all Macs are using old, slow processors.

The 16-inch MacBook Pro ($2,799.00) comes with a 2.3GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz and for an additional $200, you can get it with a 2.4GHz 8‑core 9th‑generation Intel Core i9 processor, Turbo Boost up to 5.0GHz.

And yet the new 13-inch MacBook Pro with it's M1 processor blows them away when it comes to performance.

Here's a direct quote from their extensive review of the M1-based Mac mini (https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...):

The M1 undisputedly outperforms the core performance of everything Intel has to offer, and battles it with AMD’s new Zen3, winning some, losing some. And in the mobile space in particular, there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent in either ST or MT performance – at least within the same power budgets.

Introducing a commodity into the cost of a website
> So what exactly do you want changed? A warning already comes up explaining what happened that a user can click through. Unless the website has opted into strict mode, in which case warnings cannot be bypassed, which seems very reasonable.

I'm saying load the website by default; just display a warning that isn't too intrusive or alarming. As a starting point (not suggesting this is peak UX; it's just a starting point for the discussion): it could be just a small balloon notification on the padlock with black text, nothing in red or otherwise alarming (or maybe becoming more red as more time has passed). A little bit like the balloon Chrome displays for "Disable developer-mode extensions". It still lets you use the browser but also gets its point across.

You couldn't think of expiration dates for things that aren't at the extreme? Maybe for actions whose gravity is a little bit more comparable to visiting a website than, say, crossing an international border?

It looks like you lose about 30% performance to Rosetta.

Regarding Rosetta, the AnandTech conclusion is (https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-teste...):

The software side of things already look good on day 1 due to Apple’s Rosetta2. Whilst the software doesn’t offer the best the hardware can offer, with time, as developers migrate their applications to native Apple Silicon support, the ecosystem will flourish. And in the meantime, the M1 is fast enough that it can absorb the performance hit from Rosetta2 and still deliver solid performance for all but the most CPU-critical x86 applications.

The password comparison doesn't really fit. We stopped requiring it because users behaved badly when forced and caused a net reduction in security.

Sysadmins dont pick their private key. They dont write the private key on a post it. None of the reasons for not doing password expiry apply here.

Primary benefit of shorter certificates is it probably makes it easier to punish CAs that dont follow the rules.

> Even a master of lean writing (Hemingway himself) knew when to bulk up, even for just a moment, to create a cadence that could surprise and intrigue us.

There are other considerations too beyond just sound. E.g. recently someone (helpfully) pointed out to me that I had used the word 'super' as a filler word 20+ times in one essay. Which is good to be aware of, and I got rid of some of them. But at the same time, in most of the cases the reason I had done it is because if you have two long and complicated words next to each other, just visually it's difficult to read them.

In the same way that whitespace is necessary in between paragraphs in order to make text readable, you also need horizontal whitespace to prevent the words from running together and the meaning getting lost, and to give people time to digest complicated ideas.
> basically no one uses Eastern ideograms in the West

That’s false. There is a lot of students of CJK languages in European universities as Japanese and more recently Korean as popular language. Chinese and Japanese can be learn in some high-school too. There are publishers publishing books containing such characters (e.g. You Feng in Paris). And of course the diaspora and heritage learners... That a lot of people, even more in countries with significant East-Asian population like Australia or the US.
Yeah we fought a big war over it 160 years ago. 600,000 people died.
Now they are free to spend their (free) time on what they want. When most of the core contributors where payed by Mozilla, they could not chose to eg.

Of course we can't know for sure what would have happened if they refused to work on VR, but my gut feeling is that this would not have helped the project.

I think we'd see a serious boom in Windows on ARM if ARM vendors had a performance benefit to offer and Microsoft implemented a backwards compatibility layer as Apple has in this case. The difference here is in the offering. Microsoft was making a tablet offering where they're just not competitive with no ability to use x86 software while Apple here is offering much more - backwards compatible and all.

Until then there's just no reason to bother with ARM and vendors and users alike can see that.

Only recently has Microsoft announced a backwards compatibility layer, if we can see some hardware vendors step up to Apple levels of performance, there might be a serious shot now:

China isn't ignoring climate change in their rhetoric. What they are actually doing is building record amounts of coal power plants, right now, this year.

https://www.wired.com/story/china-is-still-building-an-insan...

The US' greenhouse emissions peaked years ago and have been in steady decline. China is the #1 emitter, #1 coal consumer, and building record amounts of new coal domestically. And not just in China, but all over the developing world through their Belt and Road program.
scroll perf can be impacted by display scaling especially to non-native resolution, maybe someone else can fill in the specifics
This is a related tangent, but I haven't seen this addressed anywhere else yet so might as well ask it here. What does Apple silicon mean for the future of gaming on Apple hardware? With the death of bootcamp and the apparent difficulty with emulation, is the only hope for individual developers to update to native support like Blizzard is doing here? And what does the future of GPUs look like? Are there expected to be dedicated GPUs on future Macbook Pros, Mac Pros, and iMacs or are they all expected to be SOCs going forward?
Chinese arsenal is only estimated at around 300 (soon to be doubled). 68 DDGs have 90 VLS tubes each, so theoretical limit of 6120 shots, practically much less. But I think this development, if also proven on more realistic conditions (midphase decoys etc) would spurn China to further ramp up nuclearization.

> Parts of Go's runtime are written in C,

?

You can build the Go toolchain (and many other Go apps, so as long as they do not hard depend on C) with CGo disabled. I do not believe this is true.

Source, although it is self-evident for Go developers who dabble in cross-compilation. https://golang.org/doc/faq#What_compiler_technology_is_used_...

(I do think there are optional C dependencies, but that shouldn’t be important; you can go end-to-end without C with exceedingly few compromises.)
The longer we defer meaningful action the harder it becomes to stop. We have the answers if we look to asian countries, but some people are too busy pointing fingers at China saying they started the fire instead of just putting it out.

I've lived all over LA: San Monica, W. Hollywood, Westwood, Downtown, & various valley locations. With the exception of San Monica, one can park without consideration on the block of their destination, and non-franchise eateries of many ethnicities outside the fashionable expensive vortex are still common. As far as "crime bad", LA's reputation is a product of Hollywood and nothing like its dangerous reputation - people here are generally nice to strangers because everyone is a stranger. And who knows, if a stranger are dangerous, be nice as a default and you won't find out. Most other cities trying to "live up to LA" over do it and are much more unfriendly towards strangers.
Actually, i'd be totally fine with that in the run-up to the cert expiring. Although i wonder if it would really make a difference - would the site operator notice such a mild UI change. After all, if they were paying attention they would already have monitoring for cert expiry.

> You couldn't think of expiration dates for things that aren't at the extreme? Maybe for things whose gravity is a little bit more comparable to visiting a website than, say, crossing an international border?

Passports are a credential, so are certificates. Generally expiry dates are strictly enforced on credentials. Same thing applies to driver licenses, health cards, etc.
It’s probably more complicated than that: Microsoft’s customers have traditionally been very different from Apple’s, and they valued perpetual backwards compatibility over Apple’s approach.
Of course it has ethical issues. This could throw MAD strategies out the window. If a country can suddenly legitimately defend itself against an ICBM attack while still being able to destroy the opposing country, nuclear war strategies become "interesting". You just have to teach Joshua that even if one country survives, the planet might not remain habitable for the people living in that country. "Learn goddamnit, learn!"

I've never shied away from embracing complexity in trade of more power and/or flexibility wherever it brings me value.

I run UNIXen as my desktops (Linux, Solaris, BSDs) even if it takes more understanding and tinkering than OS X, because in the end it's more powerful. I run my own email infrastructure instead of giving it up to gmail, because it's more flexible and powerful and I'm in control. And so on.

But git? What a curse it is. I identify with the comments that liken it to hazing. A lot of pain to be inducted into the club, just for the sake of pain. No gain.

I've been using source control systems for many decades and all of them have been tools that provide their value without being intrusive. Never have I had to fight a source control tool or take backups before every operation like with git.

So that explains the hate, from my perspective. git came along and polluted a perfectly good tool space with something extremely user-hostile and didn't add any extra value (no, git did not invent distributed source control so that's not the explanation; I've been using distributed source control since the mid 90s and today I use mercurial wherever I get a choice).
The problem is type systems---be it Go, Java, Haskell[1], C++, or Rust[2]---don't really mind if you ignore the values expressions turned into statements. All these `err` value business if having to remember to inspect and propagate.

The stuff Haskell and Rust do however make the type system far more aware of the issue. In Haskell, all the control flow is "reified" with Monads, which allows the type system (which is data-oriented) to be aware of everything and help much more. In particular, there is no way to "do sequential things" without also handling the errors or lots of extra work that is obvious readinng and wouldn't happen by accident writing.

The situation in Rust isn't quite as straightforward, because there are still genuine control flow operations being used. However, Sum types are still a huge help in that they properly model what is produced (either a success value or error value), and #[must_use] makes sure the Results aren't ignored completely. Again, the path of least resistance is doing the right thing, and anything else is very obvious reading.

-------------------------

This is a long response, but if I could say just one thing, it's wouldn't programming language theory but economics. It's important not just for Rob Pike or O'Rielly books to preach the right thing, but for the right thing to be

a) the easiest and shortest thing to write

b) the shortest and "unmarked" thing to read

Haskell and Rust succeed here, Go fails miserably.

-------------------------

[1] Thank goodness there is #[must_use], but to be fair that is linting post type checking.

[2] The moral equivalent of this problem in Haskell is the type of `seq`. But importantly the Monadic approach doesn't need to use `seq`.
