They will never do it because they don’t have Apple’s massive scale.

Some quick googling tells me:

Surface Q2 2020 revenue is estimated at $2 billion.

iPhone brings a little less than $200 billion a year (so probably a variation of something shy of $50 billion a quarter) (2019)

Mac brings in $25 billion a year (2019)

iPad brings in $21 billion a year (2019)

So basically, Microsoft has a hardware business 1/10th the size of Apple’s Mac business. Which means it’s less than 1/100th the size of Apple’s total hardware business (and technically, I didn’t even include wearables, speakers, Apple TV, and other side businesses that use Apple-designed chips).

It is very possible that Apple brings in more revenue selling Apple TV’s than Microsoft does selling Surface products. Given its low price, I doubt it, but if that was a true fact it wouldn’t shock me at all.
Drawing rasters or on a vector display comes later in the pipeline. Maybe there's a more complex taxonomy?

At the top level, you split polygon-transforming vs ray-tracing (or geometry-main-loop vs pixel-main-loop, or projecting vs searching-from-the-camera, or whatever). Then you split polygon-transforming by output style, raster display vs vector display?
I hope so, but then I look around at all the less developed countries out there and all I see is a massive demand for oil. :/
I don’t think crypto should be illegal. I think it should be regulated like everything else in the space, and it’s horrifying externalities like energy consumption and criminality should be internalized via taxation. Once it has the same constraints as traditional finance it offers nothing of value, and will wilt away on its own. Or it won’t. Whatever. Makes no difference to me, once the harms are mitigated. JMHO.

My point as always is if you trust your government you don’t need crypto - as trust is a massive optimization - and if you don’t, you have much bigger problems. Just ask the North Koreans.

The rest is but a fictional dramatization of what life under authoritarianism might be like, just you, your MacBook Pro and your GPU cluster against the man, smashing TVs, killing TV repair men and scribbling down hashes. It just doesn’t reflect any reality I know of. I’d watch an HBO series based on it though! Maybe a modern reimagining of 1984 combined with Escape from Tarkov; we all know how 1984 ended yeah?
Nice work, thanks for doing this.

Micro-services application on premise without Kubernetes?
I are migrating a big application from multi-server monolith to micro-services, this software is not a SaaS but on-premise.

The current architecture leverage a database for each server, and many requests need to be processed by multiple nodes to create one cohesive answer, so far this architecture was fast,low-resources, but really painful and time-consuming to maintain and most important without HA.

Installations scales from hundreds of servers to a simple single server setup.
Asking every customer to setup a kubernetes it's not feasible, only a limited subset of customers have the skills to deploy and maintain it.

I've been searching for a simpler way for customers to deploy and maintain the infrastructure for months, seems like everyone jumped from on-premise to SaaS leaving a hole in-between.
Or they are unfixable. And explaining why to a non technical pm can take all day.
I worked at a company where they used a time tracking application (most of their revenue was T+M) which was so bad that one of the developers reverse engineered the front end API and built a new front end for it.

What you said about impressing the person viewing the reports really rings true in that case.
This was an attempt to save the battery. Where Apple messed up was not talking about this feature.
> but I still don't have to agree with everything the Pope/Church says regarding very specific issues.

You're free to believe what you want. Understand, however, that to be a Catholic means agreeing with the Pope/Church on matters of faith. This is not a negotiable part of being a member of the Church. To be baptized and then profess you do not agree with everything marks you as guilty of the sin of heresy, a textbook definition heretic in the eyes of the Church.

I am not saying this to be insulting, this is Catholic doctrine and many schisms have happened over many hundreds of years due to many disagreements on regarding parts of faith and papal infallibility.

There's actually an odd edge case where you could claim to not follow the current or recent popes. I learned this from Luke-jr (the 'prayers in the blockchain' guy), he's a Sedevacantist that believes the last pope was Pius XII and all the popes since were antipopes/pretenders. Since their bishops can consecrate other bishops these believers hold the weird position of being in communion with what most consider the the Church, but do not follow reforms in Vatican II nor acknowledge that a current pope is installed.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedevacantism

Ah, nevermind then, that gives me rest concerning the viability and transparency of it all.
Right. Either way, it’s a process we don’t have much data about. I really hate to feel this way because I’m absolutely for universal vaccination as a principle.

But this will give so much ammo to conspiracy lovers and antivaxxers :/
that was not the case, I ended being the one plotting the flame charts as no-one wanted to do it
I wonder if that's some kind of cheeky remark internal between the SoS and the assistant, or if there was actually a real thought to do this. Ofc, cheap price, but seriously? Did they believe Gorbachev (spelling) was that vain? Was he?

edit: also, "make the world safe for conventional warfare". Hmpf.
Oh all I meant was the proposed legislation is a form of onerous regulation that harms folks, intentionally or otherwise, that offers no recourse - that crypto can’t help you out of. That likely extends outward IMO.
The quote you use doesn't claim sterilizing immunity but the "protection" and is misleading. The publicly reported protection of the vaccines seeking EUA is against the symptomatic disease, as it can be seen in the protocols of the vaccine studies.

E.g. Moderna protocol:

https://www.modernatx.com/sites/default/files/mRNA-1273-P301...

"To be considered as a case of COVID-19 for the evaluation of the
Primary Efficacy Endpoint, the following criteria must be met:

- The participant must have experienced at least TWO of the
following systemic symptoms: Fever (≥ 38ºC), chills,
myalgia, headache, sore throat, new olfactory and taste
disorder(s), OR

- The participant must have experienced at least ONE of the
following respiratory signs/symptoms: cough, shortness of
breath or difficulty breathing, OR clinical or radiographical
evidence of pneumonia; AND

- The participant must have at least one NP swab, nasal swab,
or saliva sample (or respiratory sample, if hospitalized)
positive for SARS-CoV-2 by RT-PCR."

In some other protocols it's not written in an easily quotable way but spread through the text and tables, but if you analyze the protocols carefully, the goal is the same: it's the vaccinated and symptomatic that are counted and compared with the symptomatic counted in the placebo group.

So whenever you saw "protection" up to now it was implicit it's the protection from the disease as defined above. Not the sterilizing immunity.

Moderna's announcement is also explicit in mentioning so defined "primary endpoint":

https://investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/news-release-d...

"The primary endpoint of the Phase 3 COVE study is based on the analysis of COVID-19 cases confirmed and adjudicated starting two weeks following the second dose of vaccine."

We should eventually know more, but we still don't have that information.
That's right. These days. Could change again. But they could demonstrate immutable faith by adopting a clause like what I mention here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25284296

I mean "anti-competitive behaviour" are words with meaning in the context of society. And no, unionisation is _not_ "anti-competitive behaviour" in any legal sense.

You don't have to write some sort of universal program that can take a textual description of a situation and spit out "guilty/not guilty". You can make laws stating a thing, which a bunch of motivating text, and then direct prosecution against things that are against the spirit of the thing, and get judges to follow it (either through rulings, or if that fails, adding extra laws to make it even clearer what is up).

It's a social thing, not a logical contradiction gotcha. "Corporations may not engage in anti-competitive behaviour. Corporations who act as such shall be liable under anti-trust statues as if they operated as one. Also, price-fixing is not allowed." Then society and the rest fills in the blanks

That's the nature of freedom when you impose costs on others, you need to be able to make them whole. Sort of intrinsic to the No Harm Principle.
Curious why you were downvoted. We don’t have the data on long term effect from mRNA vaccines, that’s a fact.

The AZ vaccine isn’t mRNA it would seem, but the other ones are so that’s still relevant.
> National net wealth, also known as national net worth, is the total sum of the value of a nation's assets minus its liabilities.

For the little sense that comparing a public company to a nation state makes, one still might be inclined to compare Apples to apples (and not to Oranges).

In this case, one should compare National Wealth (country's assets minus its liabilities) against Apple's assets minus its liabilities. That calculation gives us about 65B dollars, which puts Apple somewhere between Ghana (95th) and Turkmenistan (96th).
Please don't fearmonger. The 737 Max is not fundamentally less safe than any other 737... What made it less safe is the corporate culture that added this flaw and the flaw has been fixed. The fix was obvious at the time of the failure and that hasn't changed.

Can an airline really refuse an aircraft without wasting some significant amount of money? I assume the airline or leasing company start paying from the moment they place an order all the way through construction, finished by a final payment at the moment of acceptance? When one orders a building company to build a house, you are given a payment schedule, I assume it is the same with airplanes.

> As an electrical engineer you'll typical use f, ω, and s, in different contexts and you'll learn each of those contexts separately.

Perhaps it's just my unconventional education (see username), but when I'm doing something like filter design, I really do end up using all of those at once. I'll do the on-paper design portions with s, the computational section of the design with ω, and then when I build the thing to test it, the scope or spectrum analyzer read out in f (if I'm lucky). So they're genuinely all there at once!
> We carefully monitor startup performance using an automated test that runs for almost every change to the code. This test was created very early in the project, when Google Chrome did almost nothing, and we have always followed a very simple rule:

This test can never get any slower.

That's actually very similar to how Safari was built.

After Steve showed the Safari icon, he clicked to the next slide. It had a single word: Why? Steve felt the need to say why Apple had made its own browser, and his explanation led with speed. Some may have thought that touting Safari performance was just marketing, a retrospective cherry-picking of one browser attribute that just happened to turn out well. I knew better. I had been part of the team that had received the speed mandate months earlier, and I had participated in the actions he now described which ensured the speed of our browser." [1]

Personally I couldn't give a shit about startup time. I start most of my apps when I boot my machine and I rarely if ever close any of them or turn my machine off.

I care about how fast said applications do their job, that they remain responsive and don't suffer from instability.

Maybe I am just old/desktop user. My machine is a 9900K + 32GB RAM which is definitely fast but it's not absurd. With this amount of RAM I never feel the need to close anything other than to tidy up my list of open tabs so I can see the icons without scrolling again.

Not particularly. If it takes 13s to load Photoshop once a day, then I can access all these great features, that's alright with me.

I basically said the same that you did. Interestingly, making a custom Microsoft chip for Xbox is a proposition that I haven’t heard before. It could provide some of the volume needed to justify custom designs.

But still, the Xbox is not iPhone volume, and you can kind of see that both consoles have architectures that are barely different than a standard x86 PC these days. Their AMD hardware is best described as semi-custom, perhaps not unlike the surface SOC.

And here’s the other thing, designing your own chip isn’t a guarantor of better performance. A great demonstrator of that concept is Qualcomm. There really isn’t much reason that Qualcomm’s chips can’t be just as impressive running Android as Apple’s chips are at running iOS. I mean, they KNOW that Qualcomm smartphone chips basically just run Android and nothing else. So why aren’t Qualcomm chips blasting Intel in benchmarks?

(I will say, Qualcomm’s improvement line is still moving faster than Intel - but there’s still not much explanation as to why Apple is so far ahead in the first place. From the outside it seems to basically boil down to enlightened management and engineering.)

So Microsoft could sink tens of billions of dollars and years into chip design and basically end up with “something that’s just about as good as Intel” rather than Apple’s basically perfectly executed decade of hardware R&D.
Ha.

How I read books: a guide on how to learn
Precisely. An inherently unstable airframe with no passengers and with crew able to eject is perfectly acceptable. An airliner, not so much.
As someone with ADHD, I would encourage you to learn about it. Describing people with ADHD as 'having a hard time sitting in a classroom' is like describing people with depression as 'having a hard time laughing during movies.' ADHD is a complex neurological disorder involving general impairments to the entire executive functioning system. It shares genetic indicators and even some symptoms with autism, meaning that people with ADHD qualify as neurodiverse. It also persists your entire lifetime, as it is endemic to your brain structure (although symptoms may wax and wane over time).

For one example, my biggest impairments are definitely to a) general motivation, including non-work/school activities like reading a book I'm interested in (well-treated by medicine); general impulsivity, including emotional impulsivity and stimulation seeking behaviors (well-treated by medicine); and significant impairments to working memory (unfortunately not well-treated by medicine). The working memory is the real PITA. Studies show people with ADHD lack a specialized area of their brains for handling working memory, unlike non-ADHD people. This means that for me, my brain handles working memory tasks analogously to how blind people can learn to "see" with their tongues -- I have to marshal unrelated brain areas to try to make up the difference. (For an example of what this is like in practice, walking into a room and forgetting why I am there occurs at least a dozen times per day.) Another huge area of impact is to sleep; the vast majority (almost 90%) of adults with ADHD also qualify for a sleep disorder, usually delayed sleep phase.

As for jobs, actually one big risk tends to be having an emotional outburst at your boss or colleagues. Adults with undiagnosed ADHD usually end up developing a reputation for anger problems, as they have big difficulties controlling primal emotional responses. Another major area of challenge comes from our tendency towards substance abuse problems; many undiagnosed adults end up self-medicating via alcohol or street stimulants.

Anyways, I know this is kind of a big tangent from the OP, but I just wanted to throw that out there. I didn't get diagnosed until I was nearly 30 mainly because I was, in fact, able to sit in classrooms. I have an inattentive subtype, meaning it doesn't materialize as visible restlessness and hyperactivity as much as it does in others. Because I wasn't running around classrooms and acting out, I had to suffer in ignorance for decades.
Here's some more labor history for you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Hoffa
For those too young to remember or were asleep in Music History, this is a play on "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols".

The Sex Pistols was a British punk band, a project of Malcolm McLaren fronted by Sid Vicious (John Ritchie) and Johnny Rotten (Johnny Lydon), who enjoyed needling then-Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who badly deserved it.

How exactly are you meant to do that when you are dealing with devices like employees personal phones in an office, or antendees laptops at a conference?
Is that true? Is there not any laws protecting the employees or setting time limits for the notice and the actual end of the contract?
Sure, you could interpret it as HR lying. Frequently when people speak using natural languages it is possible to interpret something in ways other than what were meant. It's clear that the HR person meant that Google's rootkit-enabled security software would make a good faith effort not to intrude on personal data. Then the person in the story proposed changing the contract wording to "May only access Google related information and no personal information." This no doubt got forwarded on to a lawyer who said "No can do, that's a legal promise that the security software is 100% bug-free." That would also require wading into the murk of what is "personal data" and what is "Google related information". Does putting your commute schedule on your personal calendar make your personal calendar "Google related"? Are chat messages in which you sexually harass your coworker "personal information"? No lawyer is ever going to sign off on this.

I love your comment. So insightful. Let me tell you why.

Earlier today I spent some time to read about "Lawrence of Arabia" (I watched it a couple of days ago, essentially for the first time in my life), and I discovered so many interesting things, such as:

1) The movie received 7 oscars!

2) It was based on the life of T.E. Lawrence

3) The director, David Lean, also directed "Bridge on the river Kwai" in 1957 (which also won some oscars), before working on Lawrence of Arabia.

4) There's no love story. The movie lasts for almost 4 hours! It was shot in 70mm.

5) It's interesting how the protagonist's sexuality is never openly discussed, but it's hinted that he might have been homosexual.

Etc. So, after half an hour reading about it, I realized how much more there is, besides the movie itself.

Your comment on Metropolis gave me similar insights about that movie. Thanks again for sharing it.
At some point you will end up with a maximum, a "best I can do with this code", but it's often a constraint because of the underlying architecture; you can't make Angular any faster, but you can consider shifting to a different framework. You can't make webapps any more memory efficient, but you can consider building a native app. You can't make processing a TB of data on a single computer faster, but you can consider making it a distributed, horizontally scaled task.
There's also the option to just not install corporate apps on your personal device.
