> This will catalyze giant migrations of workloads away from AWS Intel instances to the Graviton2 processors.

Or just from Intel instances to Epyc Rome instances. Which is a less significant migration with basically all of the same advantages.

Nim tried regions based memory management and ended up going a different direction. The feature still exists, but the core devs ended up considering it a bit of a dead end: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/6930
Is this really a knock on Apple though? It’s not like all this is up to them. Personally I want MATLAB support but Apple doesn’t get to dictate Mathworks schedule.
You are comparing regular software to nuclear disasters and amputating a leg.

That's nuts.

Things like SqlLite have 100% unit and integration tests, because that's what it requires for being used in airplanes.

That's how "bugfree" software things works.

Read more about it and you'll see what insanity you have to apply to fully test your software to let it be "bugfree".

Summary for only SqlLite:

- Four independently developed test harnesses

- 100% branch test coverage in an as-deployed configuration

- Millions and millions of test cases

- Out-of-memory tests

- I/O error tests

- Crash and power loss tests

- Fuzz tests

- Boundary value tests

- Disabled optimization tests

- Regression tests

- Malformed database tests

- Extensive use of assert() and run-time checks

- Valgrind analysis

- Undefined behavior checks

Feel free to create software with a all possible checks for "employee time off". By the time your full stack app is done, you're 20 years from launch.

In the meantime, 1000's competitors with an MVP successfully launched and expanded features and your stuck because of all the tests.

No it's not, macOS has a fundamentally different approach to apps and windows. Where you open only 1 app instance that can run multiple document windows. You switch between apps, and can then switch between windows in that app. This can partly be immitated in the window manager, but not all apps will work well with this pattern. Also standardized keyboard shortcuts, spelling check, secrets management and general app behaviour is hit and miss on Linux. Whereas on macOS most apps adhere to the human interface guidelines. This consistency and predictability gives me a greater efficiency on Mac over Linux system. I tried going back to Linux for 1,5 years when my then employer didn't allow me to work on a Mac and no matter how much I tweaked it, I could never get the same enjoyment and productivity compared to macOS.
Thanks for that link. I'm seeing similar results. The Arm instances are a no-brainer for a massive amount of workloads. Yes, leaving the Intel instances will take many, many years, but I don't see any future for buying any more Intel-based reserved instances from AWS. The Arm instances are just a clear winner when measured on performance per dollar.
Even if you don't go down to the individual stroke level you can break kanji up into a set of radicals. If you mix that up with the katakana, hiragana, roman letters, and punctuation it's maybe something like 500 characters.

Given the affluence of emoji's and various Unicode symbols these days it weakens that argument even further.

While Firefox had to drop support for OpenH264 on Android, because of Google's Play Store policies. It is not true that only Chrome supports H264 on Android. Firefox switched to the Android platform encoder and decoder. So H264 work fine in recent versions of Firefox.
I was a little concerned when I saw this headline, since I still use Hangouts for SMS and I've been ignoring the notification that it's going away.

PinePhone even has a great solution for the eMMC ease of use problem. The bootloader loads from eMMC by default (and I believe comes preloaded with a distro based on what version you bought) unless there is a bootable (micro)SD card inserted. There's a popular bootable SD card image for the PinePhone that exposes the eMMC over USB allowing flashing using `dd` or similar, which makes the whole process rather painless compared to the mess that is raspberry pi.
Japanese websites? Are we kidding here? What design? Let's just be honest about it. Sites like these suck and there is no reason to make excuses about it or attribute it to some cultural aesthetic. Most things in Japan are designed beautifully. Websites in Japan are an exception.
Why? Will the market be any nicer to them? They’ve failed to make their case as to why anyone should care that Vale exists; never mind actually differentiate it from the current swathe of robust, established Rust-style languages already in full production use and battling each other for the market’s next 20 years of attention. And they’ve barely reached v0.1, and expect to make a difference when make their grande entrance into that bullpen? Who’s fooling who here?

Look, if they just want to be another D then by all means have at it. It’s great that they have a personal hobby, but at least have the good grace to put up a notice saying they’re making this thing to please nobody but themselves. That way anyone else looking at it knows not to invest their own time into a toy project that doesn’t even take itself seriously, never mind have the chops to make the rest of the world believe in it too.

Oh, and by the way, I’ve said nothing about Vale that I’ve not said of my own projects… right before I’ve pulled the plug on them for failing to hit their overall objectives. And the best of that work’s been technically excellent, with sitting users royally pissed that I’ve just chucked their investments on the scrapheap along with my own. But I’m a realist; and it’s better to pull the trigger now and move on ASAP to the next thing, than drag out a slow but inevitable death and then have to junk an even larger investment further down the line. See also: sunk cost fallacy.

You want to ask other people to believe and invest in you? You’d damn well better bring more than just a tick list of features and your delicate feels. Else you’re just messing them around for your own personal ego.

It's not purpose-built for Mac. All available indications are that it's the same chip as they've been shipping in devices for years, just "harder better faster stronger".

This is barely different than AMD releasing yet another line of Zen chips or Intel shipping a new Core i9.
NextCloud and Colabora might be what you are looking for.

Spyware or locking down doesn't really work in this day and age if the kid is using a Windows PC. In most (if not all) Windows PCs you have local access to you can create an administrative account not subject to parental controls or anything else. No admin access is required to create it. This is trivially discoverable through Google.

And I think the class I mentioned is genuinely good, actually. It's how I'd teach the subject - builds up from simple to complex, using an industry-leading game engine (Unity), interesting assignments, etc. Of course kids nowadays want to build an AAA 3D game right off the bat, but there's value in understanding that this doesn't work, and you have to start simple.

They absolutely can agree on what’s true. What they can’t do is admit what’s true when it’s politically inconvenient.

I read Gabriel Wyner's book, _Fluent Forever_, which was pretty decent for giving ideas on how to effectively use SRS for language learning. That would probably be a good place to start.

I disagree with his approach (which I haven't followed since original discussions) to then try to monetize this by basically creating a closed-source, locked-down Anki replacement. As I recall, he wanted to do what he said in his book wouldn't be effective -- to sell his cards to others.
One of the only reasons I'm still with Google Voice is because having your number with them mitigates (far as I can tell) SIM swap attacks. Yeah, someone can swap my SIM, but effectively nothing goes to the carrier number, just the GV number, which is much harder to socially engineer (even if some of that is because it's impossible to get someone on the phone).

If you tightly lock down your GV account, it should be much more difficult to compromise than a random cell carrier. I don't know if there's a comparable service, but I'm dying to pay for one, if only to not have a single point of failure.

Meaningless words unless you define the religion out of religion, which is hugely disrespectful to both the religious and the irreligious: You can take any philosophy and insist it's a religion, but in doing so you destroy the special place religion holds in the minds of the faithful, and you call atheists charlatans and fools for no legitimate reason.
Equal access to amplifiers like Twitter and Facebook can also be harmful to the democratic process or even to individual lives.
I'm confused. In every modern language I've used apart from go and terraform, only leading indentation matters and autoformatters do not apply mid-line alignment or align subsequent lines against characters in a previous line.

edit: and maybe Haskell? the layout rules are complicated

personally I don't think lining up e.g. variable or parameter names in c style declarations improves readability at all, and it pollutes git diffs.

but I do use a monospace font in the terminal because many command line applications align their output into columns using spaces.
Do you mind giving me an example of this in 2020? I do remember reading a lot about this in the last couple of years but it seems designers have been quickly to rectify it. Out of all the websites and apps I use commonly, I'm seeing less and less examples of this.
Daemonless and rootless are killer features.

The lack of filesystem isolation and volume support are the last things keeping me from jumping ship.

Well, it's one single component of the problem, there are many other factors involved in bad UX. Resources wasted on advertising are unequivocally the hardest to justify out of them all.
I am in no way anti-vax. I personally have a lot more than the average person does, because of my adventures around the world. I've always felt comfortable getting vaccines in the past, and I encourage others to do so.

In the case of the COVID-19 vaccine I am more than a little concerned it has been rushed into mass production, and we don't have years of data about side effects and possible long-term consequences. We have certainly screwed up enough things in the past to put doubt in my mind we can rush something like this and not make a mistake we won't know about for 5-10 years. I was talking to a Doctor friend last night who said she has concerns because a couple of the vaccines use genetic material.

I'm not saying I won't get it, but I doubt I'll be one of the first to rush, and I may drag my heels a little to see what happens.
I don’t know about anyone else but the move to touch screens has been awful. I don’t need 2 menu layers to adjust the air temp or seat heater. All I really want is apple carplay.
If I were to guess what this M1 chip was designed for: it was for JIT-compiling and then execution of JIT-code (Javascript and/or Rosetta).
I went down the same route and wouldn’t change a thing. The difference really is striking.

Just curious, as I’m looking to upgrade the processor that I bought - are AMD processors widely known as being better than Intel?

Not trying to start an argument about which is better, I’m just genuinely curious as I have no idea as I’m not a gamer and have always gone for Intel processors.
> I meant that even something like atheism is a religion.

This is incoherent because it presupposes "an" atheism, as opposed to a broad range of philosophies which only hold lack of religious faith in common. It's like saying "non-strawberries" is a useful and enlightening category of food.
"As long as they weren't intentionally causing workers to get infected"

Well, of course they were (allegedly). And at the same time trying to protect themselves.

"John Casey, an upper-level manager at the plant, is alleged to have explicitly directed supervisors to ignore symptoms of COVID-19, telling them to show up to work even if they were exhibiting symptoms of the virus"

"In late March or early April, as the pandemic spread across Iowa, managers at the Waterloo plant reportedly began avoiding the plant floor for fear of contracting the virus. As a result, they increasingly delegated managerial authority and responsibilities to low-level supervisors who had no management training or experience."

This is dumb. Every time you do one of these migrations you lose a non-trivial percentage of your users. I legit no longer know which Google chat program I'm supposed to use on my iPhone anymore. It's even worse on Android. It'd cost them very little to "componentize" voice calling feature and reduce maintenance cost that way by simply using the same component in both programs. But, any large organization is doomed to ship its org chart, which is what I suspect is happening here. Again.
They're the publisher of things they write and publish themselves. For example, the Facebook engineering blog. They are not the publisher of what their users post, even if they perform moderation of that content. That's the law. There's no "publisher"/"platform" hat that a company has to select before going into business.

> As of today, they updated the study with 3000+ patients.

Yes, this update was around July. They found an IFR of .7% with patient treated with HCQ. Lower than the 1.2% mortality rate in eastern France. But wait! In august, the IFR of eastern France was calculated again and was found to be around .7% (+-.3%) too?

SO since august, the narrative changed: HCQ soes not prevent people from dying at all, but prevent them to carry a viral load important enough to contaminate other people as much. With no real study, as doing so would be unethical. Convenient.

Honestly if you followed the story as much as i did (and i did buy HCQ early on, as my boss was a fan and sold me on Raoult with daily update), it became more and more ridiculous, with the organ point was the IFR recalculation in august, when i told myself i should be ashamed to have willingly believed something this early, coming from someone who, as Bergame started dying and Colmar was being infected, stated that the virus would not be coming to France, then, as my cousin bagged the 18th body in his hospital, posted a video called "Coronavirus: Game Over!", later edited and renamed.

It might not be for you, but then I'm curious why it's noteworthy enough to have two layers of comments about it. If you don't want to talk about that then by all means let's not.

Apple has priorities, and these have results. I think it would be interesting to talk about that, as Apple could have invested time and money in getting some more things going (I'm thinking virtualization and Docker related things especially - you know, the stuff they demoed at WWDC!), but they didn't. It's fine they didn't, but we can still talk about that can't we?
At my company, we run our CI/CD (Jenkins) using the Docker-in-Docker paradigm to facilitate easy maintainability of the CI itself and allow us to run containerized builds.

When we shifted to RHEL 8, we attempted to move this over to Podman and it went miserably (this was back in November 2019). The main reason being is that podman-in-podman doesn't work and had bugs (at least back in Nov 2019). Maybe it fixed now but this was our experience. We ended up doing quite a bit of analysis on podman only to conclude it's simply not there yet relative to docker (ecosystem and ergonomics).

There are quite a few corner cases that docker quite simply supports out of the box beautifully that podman doesn't support or just has bugs.

I like the what the project is trying to solve by being daemonless, but this is not as simple as a drop in replacement for docker that RedHat markets it as (alias docker=podman).

We ended up sticking to docker professionally and personally, I am still using docker over podman. The ecosystem and ergonomics are just far too nice to give up over podman.
I assume it's almost zero migration for 99% of use cases from an Intel instance to an Epyc Rome instance.

But if they figured out performance with Graviton2, what makes you think ARM isn't the clear future for server performance per dollar?

I see people championing Podman because it's daemonless but is it actually beneficial or is it championed because it's Red Hat and a case of security check boxing?
That totally fails to answer my question. You said being anti-LGBT is morally wrong. Here's some guy in Teheran. He's not a moral relativist. He's very much a moral absolutist, and he's dead certain that LGBT itself is what's morally wrong.

Why do we believe you instead of the other guy? Why does Facebook believe you instead of the other guy? Because Facebook is in the US instead of Iran?

Here's my position: I am a moral absolutist. Still, I don't want a moral absolutist deciding what Facebook thinks is appropriate content. There's too many systems of absolute morality, and too many of them differ from my own in important ways - ways that I'd like to be able to talk about.
