Javascript being the extreme example here (no one is going to run Chrome or Firefox in Rosetta2 probably) but it is re-JITing very often (I think Firefox starts with interpreting JS code, and then replaces hot code paths with JIT compiled equivalents when they become available).

I also see issues with self-modifying code, but this is also very rare (I knew some .NET code that was injecting/manipulating its own JIT code to go around C# private/protected encapsulation).

I am not trying to convince you of anything, and you have the right to hold to your contradictions, but I find this at odds with most proprietary software, even more so if their execution environment isn't stable or 100% under control.

Regarding your specific needs, it also does sound a bit like the XY problem: you don't really need an app (unless locked-in by data you can't migrate), you just need the functionality it provides, though that may require some unlearning first. Oh and yeah, of course there aren't alternatives for everything.

But if you are really locked in and see the writing on the wall for your solution, you always have the option of creating your own migration path, or a stub application that does the bare minimum you need. Other might step in and help you, so it might be worth asking around first.
Its kinda normal in Switzerland to work 4 day weeks or less. Working 32 hours instead of 40 (which was necessary in my initial education) really felt like a life changer. I could get so much done on that additional weekday and was able to fully enjoy my weekend
To fight my gout and to limit the portions of gout drug I quit smoking in 2009 and stopped drinking alcohol for about 5 years. Now I take drug occasionally and don't eat meat every day (its like once few months, maybe I could call my self vegetarian). Another good practice to lower acids that induce gout is exercises, and drinking water is ok, like 3 liters a 100kg person or so. Same good is limiting coffee and tea. Really just settle in place where there is drinking water strait from the tap, that helps to limit littering with plastic bottles

ELO ratings start at 600 for absolute beginner.
With a good amount of effort, a dedicated amateur can reach ~1500 without too much difficulty, and at that level you'll beat any casual player. 2000 is international standard. Best human player is around 2700.
Note - chess.com does not use ELO ratings - they have their own rating system which is more complex (includes an uncertainty factor based on how recently you have played), but is supposed to be roughly equivalent.
The author of the article is playing blitz chess (3 minutes a game) rather than standard chess, so the ratings are largely irrelevant to standard levels.
I can't find Patrick Wardle claiming that Apple apps aren't routed through the VPN. This claim was made my "Maxwell", but they didn't provide any proof.

Some VPNs were using kexts before Big Sur, some weren't. Wireguard for example is a normal AppStore app which integrates with the OS VPN support. It would suck to be confirmed that it's leaking traffic.

For what it's worth, a VPN will not protect you from threats on a hostile network.
> I consider myself right-wing

Please forgive me if what I'm about to say will sound patronizing, but I'm wondering if this is really what you mean to say. On the anglophone Internet it has a pretty well established meaning, which is not something that people are usually willing to admit in public. If you mean it in a strictly economical left-right scale, you probably can find a better way to express that.
B2b server-to-server API.

Biggest problem is that people just dont understand graphql for some reason. Using graphql is really hard for a lot of developers, in my experience. They just don’t get it, don’t understand the syntax, don’t get separation of query and variables, and really don’t get why an error is returned as 200 ok.

The typing system is also not enforced perfectly. If you got an enum input value, the client can just submit another value not included in the enum and apollo server just doesn’t care.

This gives me a false sense of security, and prompted us to add these validations in all resolvers, so now we have schema definitions and matching validations, basically repeating the schema twice.

The api doc generators and sandboxing tools are generally poor or I haven’t found a nice one.

Apollo’s built-in caching is a mystery and poorly documented, and HTTP based caching isn’t really supported.

I might be using it wrong - I rarely felt Graphql did actually help me in some way.

You really have no way of knowing that particular users are part of the "non-Apple crowd" unless they explicitly say so. I expect that many of the louder voices criticizing Apple come from Apple users themselves, because they have skin in the game.

You have a curious definition of openness there.

Most ARM SoCs are the opposite of open - they're proprietary to the max and don't even support an open boot process.

> The M1 chip will go along way to changing that perception as consumers

The M1-chip will change nothing w.r.t. to perception of "openness" - consumers don't care about the CPU inside their devices.
What consumers see is a machine that'll last longer on battery, is much quieter and performs outstandingly well.

Openness is important to developers and enthusiasts who want to use the hardware as more than just a commodity.

Apple Silicon will kill the ability to upgrade your Apple device - no more RAM expansion slots, no more external GPU support, no more upgrading of internal storage, no more 3rd party repairs.

Apple Silicon turns laptops and Macs into consoles: closed ecosystems in terms of software and hardware. I wouldn't call that "openness" at all.

The RK3399 inside the Pinebook Pro is also not exactly "open" from a hardware point of view: still no open source drivers for the GPU for example (other than reverse-engineered volunteer efforts).

It's ironic that most people will complain about polarization in politics at the same time as strengthening that very polarization. I would like less polarisation. Do you?

Is wanting less polarisation and more understanding wanting the world one way? Seems like it might be the opposite. Seems also that those who are polarised want the world one way in opposition to the other group who wants the world the other. Is there a way to undo that? Would that way be painful? I think most people don't like to change their minds. It's painful. But just because it's painful, doesn't mean it's not possible or that it might be positive.

How do we achieve polarization?

How is actual peace is the real world achieved?

Wanting things to be one way is bigotry. I wish things to be understood more and less bigotry!

What are my beliefs? How have I advocated for them? I see only an appeal for common ground, understanding and therefore less bigotry overall.

I am a half-orphan and I couldn't agree more. I actually would be very pissed at people that would give me preference due to that circumstance. On race too btw, although historically that were mostly negative quotas. That is bad too of course.

I know it was just an example, but there is actually some form of this "patchwork propaganda", where naive people can feel good about being so accepting of something that can be very hard work and wouldn't be the first choice of most people.

You don't need a Harvard degree to understand this to be condescending. Although that doesn't help either as it seems.

Books are a classic thing that should just be digitized and the originals sold off.

The value is in the content, not the paper and ink. In todays digital world, we can make thousands of copies and distribute them all over the world, giving the content a far far better chance of long term survival than the paper and ink would have had even in the best library. Even libraries burn down. Even the most stable countries have a civil war occasionally...
Just to be totally clear, this is how tracking cookies work everywhere. The site you visit includes an iframe with an ID "X" that identifies itself, the iframe loads `trackingsite.com?id=X`, the request includes your cookies for that domain (or at least the ones that are allowed for an iframe request), now `trackingsite.com` logs a visit to Site X from the user holding Cookie Y.

There's a fundamental conflict between privacy and convenience, because I have to either allow no third-party cookies, which means no one can embed any authenticated content from a third-party context (think Disqus comments on a blog), or I have to allow third-party tracking. The middle ground -- allowing some third-party cookies but not others -- is a UX nightmare. Just trying to explain the situation to an average user, at all, is nearly impossible, much less interrupting every visit to every site with "Can I use cookies from {site 2} here? How about {site 3,4,5...112}?".

> Shah was one of the pioneers of the perk in the UK. He started giving staff Wednesdays off

This applies to salaried employees and I think agreeing on which specific day to take off is non-trivial. The standardized weekend is about coordination across society. The same principle applies to public holidays. Selecting Monday, Wednesday, or Friday for an additional day off has to apply across a region to benefit from the coordination effects. Even if you agree with a regional four-day work week I don’t think you will reach consensus on which day to take off.
This is a well-established fact in Economics.

Annual spending growth (inflation adjusted) on various components of social welfare spending (1972 - 2011):

>Pensions and retirement: 4.4%

>Healthcare: 5.7%

>Welfare: 4.1%

Annual economic growth over the time frame:

>2.7%

This is annual growth, over a course of 40 years, resulting a massive increase in social welfare spending as a percentage of GDP.

TSMC is a foundry, there are very few companies worldwide with capacity to do the fab work that TSMC does and Apple is definitely not one of those.

Looking at wikipedia [0], a 6 year old nissan leaf has a range of 75 miles to start with, and it was a minor iteration on the first generation of the nissan leaf. It looks like 2016 was a major upgrade to the leaf, so I'd be curious what the resale of a 2014 vs 2016 nissan leaf looks like when they're both out of warranty.

> The last two ICE cars I had, I bought them when they were 12 and 9 years old,

You're comparing technology that's had 100 years to develop, with the first iterations of EVs. You're right in that a current 2 year old EV likely has a much lower resale value than a 2 year old ICE vehicle. But remember that the Model S has been on sale for less time than the time between now and when this ban comes into place. Buying a 6 year old EV right now seems like a terrible idea, buying a 6 year old EV in 2035 will likely be a very different story.

No nuclear power plant is vulnerable to lightning strikes, and only last-mile power grid infrastructure is really vulnerable to lightning strikes, the rest has redundancy and safety mechanisms that will probably prevent prolonged outtages. Even in underdeveloped places with stuff like overhead last-mile power lines, the damage from lightning strikes is generally nothing major or lasting.

If you were a teenager in the 70's it would be unusual if your parents would have granted you access to a computer. You most likely would have had to learn in college. One of my colleagues who had learned programming in college was in a shouting match with a somewhat younger programmer, and said to the younger programmer, "I've been programming since you were in diapers." The younger one replied, "So have I."

It's not essential to make equipment available to people before college. The most important thing is to make sure that everyone can get into the field who can prove themselves.

Little Snitch & co aren't anti-malware solutions even if they seem like they might work against that. Anything which is running on a malware-infected system can't be trusted.

I don't think it is a good sign.

I think it shows that, even if your personal information is quietly being abused, individual businesses will still prioritise spamming you.

So, even if you willingly give up your personal information in exchange for personalised ads, you will never see the claimed benefit to you.

> Look, (I am assuming here) neither you nor I know how a new strain of a flu is detected

I worked on flu surveillance and monitoring projects for 3 years, and have a forecasting paper published in PNAS (although that was for dengue) so I have some idea how it works.

Most countries have flu surveillance networks, where they sample from general practitioners swabs and look for new strains. In most cases this works reasonably well.

In Australia we have ASPREN for influenza-like diseases. There are also compulsory notification diseases, but in the pre-COVID days these were mostly useful for things like detecting outbreaks of whooping cough or measles, and weren't really used as flu tracking or detection.

> I also have no idea why people have this notion to reject that COVID-19 may not have originated from China

Because the first large scale outbreak occurred in Wuhan in December 2019. It seems pretty odd that it should have originated in Europe, somehow avoided any outbreaks, travelled to China, then come back to Europe via people who have been traced where it suddenly caused a huge outbreak.

> especially the fact that most of the spread of COVID-19 came from Europe, so much so that Gov. Cuomo actually called it the Europe virus

I presume you and everyone knows why this was - that China locked down quickly and Europe didn't.

Look - I guess the European origin is possible. But it's a pretty out-there theory and it needs some pretty extraordinary evidence (and antibody studies aren't convincing on their own) as well as explanations for the problems outlined above. And there's huge evidence pointing to the China origin theory to overcome too.

Take the genomics - there's a single original strain, which was detected in China, and the mutations clearly come off that. Again -it could be possible that strain was transported there but no where else or something, but it is lots of coincidences here, whereas the China origin story fits everything about how every coronavirus we've ever studied before behaves.
Here's one simple thing about relativity and speed of light I can't wrap my head around for the life of me.

In classical physics, forces that act in the same direction, add up. If you forcefully throw an object out of the back of a moving car, its speed at the moment you throw it would be the speed of the car + the speed of the throw. Simple and intuitive enough.

But when you involve near-light speeds... So, if you're moving at 90% of the speed of light, and you have a lightbulb in your vehicle, what would be the speed of the photons coming out of it? Logically, it would be 190% of the speed of light. But apparently that's not how it works. So how the hell does it work then?!
> patents lodged just because particular engineers got there first

That is what patents are. They encourage you to actually get there by giving you a time-limited monopoly on the implementation. It is easy to say "a freshman CS student could have figured this out", but if they did, they could have had the patent instead and licensed it to Intel and Apple. Instead, Intel and Apple had to figure it out on their own.

Yeah, you can see tribalism even here on HN in discussions on different operating systems or programming languages. We are an animal that is irrational, predatory and highly social by nature. Whether we team up to build something useful or to fight with the other tribe depends mostly on the social programming done by the institutions of power such as media, schools and churches.

These institutions also have the power to decide what defines "our" vs "their" tribe. Just the usage of the terms "pro-life" or "pro-choice" already indicates that someone identifies with a specific tribe as the language is an important part of the collective identity.
