I've grown to like unstructured documentation, rather than the more structured headerdoc/doxygen and the like. If you write it well as prose I find it's often clearer. With doxygen it sometimes feel like filling in a bureaucratic form rather than actually writing documentation (and it often reads like it, too).

Sadly, the ability to mash autocomplete instead of looking at the doc page for regular expressions will be a major selling point.
I don't think there can be much debate that there's a lot of bad journalism out there, of a variety of different types and for a variety of different reasons.

But the TFA was an attempt to use information theory to explain why (and how) one should seek out multiple journalistic sources, rather than an observation about the problems with journalism itself.

The best thing to do about the battery life is probably to make it very flexible in shutting down things, i.e. every screen one by one and so on.
> The DDR4 bus is 64-bit, how can you have a 128-bit channel??

Less familiar with the normal on laptops, but most desktop chips from AMD and Intel have two 64 bit channels.

> Which might have downsides of its own.

Typically for each channel you send an address, (a row and column actually), wait for the dram latency, and then get a burst of transfers (one per bus cycle) of the result. So for a 16 bit wide channel @ 3.2 Ghz with a 128 byte cache line you get 64 transfers, one ever 0.3125 ns for a total of 20ns.

Each channel operates independently, so multiple channels can each have a cache miss in flight. Otherwise nobody would bother with independent channels and just stripe them all together.

Here's a graph of cache line throughput vs number of threads.

https://github.com/spikebike/pstream/blob/master/png/apple-m...

So with 1,2 you see an increase in throughput, the multiple channels are helping. 4 threads is the same as two, maybe the L2 cache has a bottleneck. But 8 threads is clearly better than 4.

That's a false dichotomy. Who's advocating for less empathy for humans?
That scenario is addressed in the next few paragraphs.

I think the issue is that Kinesis is a single point of failure for a ton of systems. When it goes down, loads of other system's workflows can't operate. AWS is famous for eating their own dog food and someone just poisoned it.
If I understand correctly how this works, this is a laser pulse of 1.8MJ and that pulse's duration is in the 20ns range.

So it's actually massively powerful but very short.

If you were to burn gasoline at a rate of 2mL per 20ns you would be burning 100,000 L per second, which is a higher rate than Saturn 5 on takeoff so quite a burner...
yep, it seems only us-east-1 is affected
Yes, in communities like Cupertino, the cities themselves are downright hostile to housing: https://medium.com/yimby/the-latest-on-vallco-explained-9d37...

When the planning commission of a city likens housing advocacy to "an onslaught of anarchists and YIMBY Neoliberal fascists", rational process has pretty much broken down.
But some global services run through us-east-1 - eg Cloudfront is now broken too. So this is also affecting users who don't actually run anything in us-east-1 explicitly (or in the US at all)

A lot of the web is already just javascript. Looking at "appification" and throwing our arms up in the air is just a form of giving up.

Rather, we should find ways to ensure that whatever direction the web takes, we can keep building powerful tools to foster the creativity and agency you and I have today, and push them to the hands of the mainstream.

No, it very much does. Laser fusion relies on creation of a spherically symmetric shock wave, which in turn momentarily creates huge pressure and temperature in the center of a pellet, thus igniting the fusion reaction. Any asymmetry (caused either by miscalibration, setup design, pellet flaw or even simple thermal noise) gets amplified by plasma instability effects and results in huge energy losses. The wiki article [0] briefly covers some of such effects.

> it won't help in areas that Apple just organizationally doesn't care about/doesn't have the bandwidth for because that's not a technology problem

I would posit that Apple is always going to keep macOS working on some workstation-class hardware, just because that kind of machine is what Apple's software engineers will be using internally, and they need to write macOS software using macOS.

Which means one of two things:

1. If they never release a workstation-class Apple Silicon chip, that'll likely mean that they're still using Intel/AMD chips internally, and so macOS will likely continue to be compiled for Intel indefinitely.

2. If they do design workstation-class Apple Silicon chips for internal use, they may as well also sell the resulting workstation-class machines to people at that point. (Or, to rearrange that statement: they wouldn't make the chips if they didn't intend to commercialize them. Designing and fabbing chips costs too much money!)

Which is to say, whether it be a Hackintosh or an Apple Mac Pro, there's always going to be something to cater to workstation-class users of Apple products — because Apple itself is full of workstation-class users of Apple products.
> Programmers are the exclusive consumers of the Application Programming Interface, while users don't have to know about it.

The term "user interface" is perhaps a bit unfortunate, and "human interface" would be better. In my usage of "user" here it's a synonym for "human".

> I don’t know any full time developers still using an Apple laptop.

Fascinating. I can name a few startups in my town that use Apple. One just IPO'd (Root), another is about to (Upstart). There are others as well.

The big companies it's hit or miss. Depends on if they are working on big enterprise applications or mobile/web. Mobile and web teams are all on MacBook Pros, and the big app dev teams aren't.

When I was last in Mountain View they were on Mac as well but I know that depends on personal preference.
I think some posters here are missing that Caballero isn't trying to prove anything, they just made a few assumptions (if it was created by intelligent life, then...), looked for something that matched those assumptions, and selected a candidate star system for further consideration. I don't see anywhere that they are claiming this is in any way evidence for the assertion that the Wow! signal originated by intelligent life.

Diplomatic relations with the US matter a lot for the economy and trade - as you've seen in many countries over the last four years.

If you support an authoritarian/populist/homophobic ruler at home (in Poland or Hungary or Brazil or wherever), you also support Trump because he will support your country where a Biden administration will be far less likely to boost Hungary if it costs relationship points with Germany or France...

While i didnt vote for red this year (independent) I totally agree and the sudden labeling of certain tweets is egregious towards free speech.

There is so much fake stuff on the Internet and tech companies suddenly labeling tweets of the president, but not others is disgusting and goes against free speech. No labeling is needed.. speech that doesn't cause physical harm should not be labeled!

Im speaking as a proponent of free speech only as I could not vote for that person and do not believe much of any political mumbo jumbo (to me it's two billionaires using their resources to do whatever and make up whatever to win).
I think many folks' experience with Zoom would show the opposite. Perhaps it's not very efficient software, but battery life often tanks, computers get very warm, and fans start spinning.

Any improvement to that is a very welcome change, if you ask me.

Reddits /r/conservative only allows those who have 'proven they align with conservative views with the mods' to interact with many of their threads.

This is in line with my general experience that those who claim 'conservstices are being censored' are the boy who cried wolf so that they themselves can censor what they don't like. Also called hypocrisy, double standards, the usual.

The reality is most political conservatives align with immoral and/or factually incorrect ideas, therefore they're rejected and filtered out because they attract anti-intellectuals that you can find on any youtube comments section about the coronavirus. The number of people that claim they 'do their own research' and then claim the 'virus is a hoax' is representative of the kind of people you attract when you allow those kinds of people.

The fact that places like youtube and Facebook even allow it to exist demonstrates how little 'conservstives' are censored. You can find plenty of conservative channels that advocate for all manner of immoral, factually incorrect and Ill intent to people.
And then your results are published online (either because you need funding or someone reports on them) and people criticize you for not accomplishing your goals. Humans... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Roku's are no better.

The top device on my network being blocked from reaching it's mothership are my Roku devices. This is the top analytics from my NextDNS console for the past two weeks:

scribe.logs.roku.com 417,115

stats.gc.apple.com 24,752

ssl.google-analytics.com 16,178

track.sr.roku.com 7,534

Roku is easily on the top of my list on spying devices on my network. The Apple ones, while still worrying, are on a network with tons of Apple devices between phones, MacBooks, watches, iPads, etc whereas there are three Roku's making all that traffic.
What you call "elite" (affluent nice people who feel safe enough to be somewhat left-wing) is clearly a very different set of people than is meant in most other comments (wealthy guilty people who feel unsafe and unsustainable enough to screw everyone else).
I agree. Maybe it’s because of various SC rulings making involuntary committal to mental health institutions impossible, and the temperate weather that allows people to exist without homes more comfortably than other places. Maybe it’s other policies, or economic forces. But as you point out, there are real world affects of supporting different political parties.
Why sadly? Autocomplete does a ton for making APIs more discoverable and easy to use.
I care that Apple or Microsoft don't get to know what executables I run. That is information highly relevant to security.

And what do mean with paranoid? I think computing is in danger of getting locked down and that would be such a large overall detriment for everybody. It is a matter of having a broad perspective.

It is also political because you create information asymmetry. To be honest, to dismiss it as paranoia might not be a really valuable assessment. Subjective, but I think it fairly lacking.
Not advocating prescriptives, just sharing what has worked for me in my limited personal experience. YMMV.

I keep the initial focus on them and I first introduce myself as a blank canvas with a known role between us. "Hi, what's your name, my name is yourapostasy your new neighbor/who waves at you on your 0500h run every day/who the mailman mixes up our mail all the time/etc." Then elicit details of "their story". People pretty universally love talking about themselves. Somewhere in that tapestry are common threads, and I build upon that. I've fortunately never met someone through this approach so odiously unrelatable we could not bond over something they care about.

After that, it is a matter of time and resources put in the relationship, as long as you maintain a Nash Equilibrium. The more time and resources, the more differences you both will generally tolerate; not a linear relationship, but everyone I've met has a "clearing price" to voluntarily associate with another.

I don't think in terms of "take back power and wealth from the rich", because there are too many layers between us for me to effectively address, and it doesn't scratch my agile itch. I instead have worked towards increasing both mutual assistance capabilities and self-sufficiency at the same time, and reducing my and others' reliance upon capital in an organic fashion. My position is that the capitalists (the 0.1%) have for all intents and purposes "won". They've "taken their 'ball' and gone home". The more I can decouple from capital "churn", the more I can save of myself and those I care for. There are some extremely broken systems (real estate, legal, political, medical, etc.) in the US that take unreasonable levels of capital to access for ordinary income citizens.

Autarky isn't my goal; it's long-term consistent survival at an "acceptable" standard of living without requiring a poll tax of capital out of reach of ordinary income households. Sometimes that takes some involvement with capital, but preferably a more frugal method is used when feasible, trading off convenience/time/etc. that I have more readily available. I don't hate capital nor capitalists. I'm just (in the scheme of a US reality where booking a billion in annual individual income doesn't even place in the top 10 income list) capital poor and working around it as best I can. Let it be noted in this discussion however, that there are many US citizens who would give their left nut to be in my "poor" position; many of us by virtue of being on HN in a well-compensated industry (at this time, I never take good times for granted) are in a similar position. But if you're talking about grand "take them down" terms, I've found I've achieved far more stability, sooner, by pursuing the above path than getting all pissed about a system I have neither the capital nor power to help change at this time.

Yeah, SVG import/export for smaller elements works fine but once you get into larger files, design systems or designing entire applications in Figma, import/export of SVGs becomes untenable. Otherwise you just have the .fig file format, which is also proprietary as well.

Currently for my open source project, we all just work directly in Figma then export the design to a website via the tool we're building. Works fine for now, but not doing anything too complex. Project is https://github.com/instantwebsite in case you're curious.
sure, whatever your personal experience may be. You can not deny the existence of caste based inequality in a country like India. It exists.
Nope, you're totally correct. Anytime I give a DMARC talk this is actually the example that I use (all the domains that you buy and don't use). At the end, I close by telling people to go home and turn off email from those domains with the sample SPF and DMARC records that mirror these.
I have no axe to grind with Apple. I'm a happy Apple customer and have been for most of 30 years.

The same code that keeps malware from running on a mac (or iphone) keeps non-app-store apps from running on an iphone, or prompts you to move non-notarized apps to the trash on a mac.

It's not some separate thing: the exact same code path that protects the consumer store revenue and developer notarization service revenue also protects users against malware.

EDIT, for clarity: I am speaking of Apple-developed, Apple-owned platform security code, where root keys are not held by anyone other than Apple, not generic crypto primitives or the concept of code signing in general (where we have a P-as-in-public PKI).
I would like more sending systems validating the policy before changing the default.

E.g., I don't think sendgrid/mailgun/gmail check that they are allowed by the SPF policy to send emails from a domain, when you add a sender address. Worse, some APIs don't require you to set up sender addresses ahead of time, you can just set it in the "send email" API call, which makes it easy to unknowingly send emails that are blocked by your own policy.

DMARC would allow you to find out, but I'm not sure how many people have configured reports, apart from those whose whole business is email.
A tactic that's backfiring on them now, as they get accused by the President of "pandering to the left".

Yes, I was arguing that they are like a poll tax. The 24th is a very good point. Is the right to vote even explicitly stated in the constitution? Is that why the 24th was required to prevent poll taxes?
If this is such a great idea, I would recommend the author of this proposal to work instead on a transpiler that converts the proposed javascript-only websites into a mix of HTML+CSS+js. If the idea catches on and, at some point in the future, people start using the transpiler almost exclusively, then the web browser developers could add direct support, and even eventually phase out support for legacy individual HTML/CSS/js files. Another benefit of implementing a transpiler first is that it would make the proposed javascript-only approach usable today.
I'm not sure what you're point is? Both the other commenter and I felt that it was familiar to us, and the combination of that and that it's a rather unusual phrase made it stand out.

We're not sitting around going 'gosh it's like I've read your comment before' because everything you wrote is unoriginal.
Holistic Info-SEC for Web Developers
The way web currently function in a browser: you can start with a simple piece of text readable everywhere and smoothly progress it up to a full blown application step by step. It is insanely creative and powerful paradigm that can be successfully used by everyone starting with my cat and ending with some genius programmer/artist/insert your own here.

Sure it is a mess if one wants to look for a mess but it benefits far outweigh its many problems.

Myself I mostly design native applications and servers but when I need to put some web fronts I am pleased on how relatively easy everything is (no I do not use giant web frameworks).

So back to the author of original article. In my opinion it is very arrogant, incompetent and naive (at best) piece.
How would you recommend handling false information then? I'm talking about false information that has real world impact, like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Telling people a polling location is closed when it's not is a practical example.
