“ You would be right to say that Intel couldn’t make the M1. It’s not because Intel’s fabs are struggling or Apple has found tricks no one else in the world knows about. It’s because Apple controls the entire software stack and therefore knows what they need on the chip. Intel caters to the entire market (one the M1 just noticeably shrunk) with myriad integrators, workloads, and users, and each has different concerns and priorities making accelerated algorithm blocks useless to some and not-fast-enough for others.”

This is an important point. It applies up and down the stack for everything Apple does.

The people who suggest breaking up Apple are correct that it would destroy them, by forcing them to use inefficient generic components at every level.

If we want competition against Apple, the way to get there is not by hobbling them with the inefficiency of the old paradigm.

It’s by the rest of the industry figuring out how to collaborate on delivering similar gains without vertical integration.
You're singing my song. I really believed that information wanted to be free, and once people were exposed to it, they would become more free. But the information pool is being muddied, and that process is enriching technology companies. They were supposed to lead the charge to FREEDOM!

But power corrupts. And honestly, it all sounds so idealistic now. It has become painfully obvious that the companies will not self-regulate. We've got to do something.

Poetry is still rough around the edges but I think the core experience is great and it's well on its way to be a very popular tool.

Before using it at work, we are waiting on waiting on https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/2610 (alternate repository not getting used for transitive dependencies) and ideally this https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/1556 (disable SSL verify for alternate repositories)

If you don't use your own PyPi, for a bunch of internal packages, it works great imo. One more wish item would be having absolute path dependencies instead of only relative path.
Regarding not being able to work outside the project root[0]: This is actually one of the things that I love about pipenv! Anaconda, for instance, has environments that are not tied to a directory and are referred to by name (rather than by a directory path) and I've found this to be an absolute nightmare and extremely cumbersome! Not everyone has 10 projects that can share the same environment. (Besides, I would argue they never should.) I, for instance, have 10 projects that all require a slightly different environment and it's much easier to type a generic `pipenv shell` on the command line no matter what project I'm in, rather than trying to remember the Conda environment's name time and again. (Besides, it can be easily automated using .bashrc.)

Perhaps YT should have a tiered paid account system - as a content creator you pay a small monthly fee (relative to the local country) to cover costs... say €1 per month for 10hrs of content? As the channel grows in size (and ideally, viewings), the costs go up.

It would certainly reduce the amount of junk uploaded to the internet.

Las paragraph says:

That's more like the overall "mission" of Have I Been Pwned, convince people to do that. It's not a particular actionable suggestion that receivers of the alert email can perform (because, albeit here we're discussing the blog post, actually this has been emailed as a Breach Alert to all HIBP subscribers)

To be fair, this promises to be a service that alerts you when your accounts get compromised, and that's 100% what they have done. But in past similar emails, they also contained actionable advise, such as "go to example.com and change your password", which here is missing, so I guess users are left wondering what they can do apart from either ignoring the breach or changing absolutely all their passwords just in case any of them was leaked, or munging on their own the provided TXT listings (which most won't do).

Also, Reddit isn't exactly fast—it takes six seconds to load for me. Wikipedia and HN are better examples.

If you want the very lowest bound possible on latency for your internet connection, try loading https://cloudflare.com/cdn-cgi/trace. That should load in milliseconds. From there, you can do a little more profiling work on your site.

Macbooks and Apple keyboards in general lack a physical del key (in ibm keyboard terms). They only have a backspace, which they label delete.

Fn+backspace works as a shortcut, but they’re on completely different ends of the keyboard so you need 2 hands. Ctrl+D also sometimes works but is inconsistent across applications.

Also, unlike all other vendors, Apple places the fn key on the far end of the keyboard, instead of the much more used ctrl which is now in the middle. When typing I find it much easier to quickly hit the furthest key than the middle one so I often hit the wrong one.

Reddit recently limited the number of comments you can read in Safari on iOS devices. Click "more" and you are prompted to create an account or go to their app.

It's been fantastic. Reddit comments decrease rapidly in quality anyway, but I was unable to look away. Now I'm capped - one or two scrolls and I have to go find something more rewarding to do. Thanks reddit!
Kiwi Browser is the way to go since Mozilla decided that it knows better than it's users which addons should they be able to use or not. It's basically Chromium with all it's addons available.
Yet, those forums have maybe 1/10th the activity they did a decade ago. I feel like so much has moved to Facebook groups, reddit, discords, etc.

Those comments aren't humorous to me as they're all cheap shots on the same level as racist jokes. People who use that so called humour are either A, trying too hard to be edgy or B, a complete dick.

If you're going for offensive humour then there better be a clever punchline instead of blatant, tired sexism. Instead we get the equivalent of "black people steal" "mexicans are lazy" and so on.

How are you going to achieve equivalent or better performance than instant? The whole point of AMP is that it can be safely prerendered.
This makes me reconsider Vimeo as a video platform. This year I decided to invest my free time in creating two channels for Painting(art in general) and Drawing (design focused), all is planned and tested and the only thing left on the table is video platform. YouTube as a platform rewards "dopamine reaction", controversy topics, kick-bait thumbnails, short form format and so on. Yes, there is a ton of good stuff that is actually hard to find because the Algorithm is fine-tuned to work in absurd way by pushing non relevant content. As a creator after recent changes to UI/UX you cannot tailor user experience in full. Using playlists is not enough of a tool for me.

YouTube is useful for big brands with lots of content with high revenue and everyone small is pushing it hard to find a way to be liked and stay relevant to "monetization" practices. At this point if you as creator don't rely on ad-revenue YouTube is not your place.

> what do we know?

I’ll reply again: a lot. You can’t possibly expect me to summarise the vast, complex state of the art knowledge of RNA biology for a lay person here — it literally fills books. At the very least ask more specific questions, I’ll be happy to answer them, if I can.

> You clearly know nothing about the long term effects

Wrong. I’m no expert on all aspects of RNA vaccines, but I am an expert on RNA biology. What I do know allows me to conclusively exclude the possibility of the RNA in vaccines incorporating into the host genome (because that notion is simply not coherent). I’m not parroting any line here.
Not directly related, but when I was learning programming back in highschool (before the Internet) what made it easy was the built in help in Turbo Pascal. You could press F1 over any function or keyword and you were given a detailed description and example of usage. Learning C later using the K&R book and Google was a huge downgrade. Even today I think that language help built into the IDE should be a basic functionality.
I use Notepad++ on Windows. Never cared for its author, let alone the author's beliefs.
How do we help it die then, it's the most unwelcome, undesirable crap I've seen in years. Google used all its power to force it down everyone's throats, but it sucks so badly and nobody wants it.

Not publishers, who recognize it for what it is (a very, very thinly veiled attempt at stealing users, traffic and analytics, and Google building its own walled garden).

Not users, for whom navigation is broken, links and scrolling behave weirdly or break completely, and the address bar can't be trusted any more.

I’m a massive fan of traditional bulletin board style forums (like vanilla, phpbb style). Even tried launching one last year to compliment the temporal qualities of hacker news. Had decent initial engagement on it but it eventually faded, it’s particularly difficult to get the flywheel spinning on discussion forums because it relies on content OUTPUT and the whole world has shifted to content CONSUMPTION.

That being said, I’ll always have a desire to start, or be a part, of forums. I think they’re a beautiful interaction medium, and can be a great way to make friends, launch businesses, etc.

Honestly I don’t mind this. Ads for free video hosting is a fair offer and at least one can buy ad-free YouTube.

Of course I’d love YouTube and thus Google’s ad empire to not be so dominant, but to the extent that that is fine, this is fine too.

As a user what really sucks is that despite paying to get rid of ads I still have to put up with the ones creators include within the video itself.

Engineering blogs not web-related
Engineering blogs are useful resources to understand how production-ready things work.

However many of the popular ones come from web-only startups like Linkedin, Facebook, Discord, etc. - probably because they have a bias towards knowledge sharing.
Examples of engineering fields: biomolecular engineering, environmental engineering, agricultural engineering, nanoengineeringn mechatronics engineering...

So which engineering blogs not web-related do you read?

HN generally sets the expectations that downvotes are only for off-topic or non-helpful posts. Someone disagreeing productively should get your upvote - even if you still disagree with them.

Subreddits often become a way for mods to push their agenda. There are exceptions to this - /r/moderatepolitics has done a decent job of becoming a good place for across-the-aisle discussion, etc. Unfortunately even productive subreddits get raided by crazy people and extremists from time to time.

HN by not having scores (visible to anyone but you) prevents the "playing for internet points" game. As a user you have very little history and exposure to others so each argument is generally standalone. Whereas on reddit someone will dig through my comment history and bring up the subreddits I'm on ("Oh, you claim to be a moderate so you're really just a nazi!") or stalk me, that kind of bad behavior is just not possible on something like HN.
