The problem is there isn’t a CPU available for competitors to use in their laptops. Apple doesn’t sell their chips to 3rd parties, and no other ARM chip on the market has competitive performance. Microsoft is trying - but their Qualcomm based laptops are extremely slow compared to offerings from intel / amd.
32 M1 cores may well be the most powerful desktop you can get. The only equals it might have are the top-end Zen3 chips.

IMHO this would be more fitting for the Mac Pro's price. Intel Mac Pros have always been grossly underpowered for something so expensive. It should be the most powerful desktop you can get for that tag.
New paradigms emerge when people think differently about the problems to solve or try to solve new problems. It makes sense to me that it might take more than one generation of people working on a similar set of problems before we have significantly different solutions.

It's a bad idea, especially in kernel/low-level/performant code. It's OK to check some values at specific points (like when a value is passed from user space), but in general it's bad practice to check it at every single function. You trust in your program flow.

Imagine if at every function down a complex stack you go with:

if (!ptr1 || !*ptr1 || *ptr1 > 5 || param1 < 0 || param2)
/* etc.... */
{
return NULL;
}

(used arbitrary names and values).

How can you tell someone is wrong in Programming?

Wrong outputs are checked by tests and you could do time studies.

However that's after-the-fact. With abstraction there isn't a correct answer from code alone (outside possibly nested loops)

Quebec has quite an interesting system. Everyone must pay in the same national car insurance. You are unable to sue anyone for what happened to you on the road, if you get hurt, the insurance pays you a standard amount for the injury and that's it. So it overall reduce the burden on the court system and the insurance self-finance itself, there's no need for profits. Quebec has the lowest cost car insurance in Canada (and may be North America?)

there is nothing that prevents either AMD or Intel to innovate even beyond what Apple has done, and integrate the RAM or build similar SoCs, if the market demands it.

Actually I do wonder if they have a real issue here. Can the chip makers (AMD/Intel), the PC manufacturers (Lenovo/Dell/HP/etc) and Microsoft cooperate enough to compete.

I'm not sure Microsoft is that committed to Windows anymore (mobile first/cloud first). The PC manufacturers have been complacent for a long time, happy to suckle on the WinTel teat. Intel have been struggling to deliver (this is probably what drove Apple to switch).

Perhaps Microsoft could step up but my gut feeling is their heart isn't in it. What little moat Win32 still has disappears with a switch to ARM.

Same for blockchain-based recycling tracking (which Chinese government had been investing in a couple years ago), etc.

My issue with all of those ideas is that they are essentially trying (even if failing, for now) to devise ways for humans to trust fellow humans with less.

Contrast the experience of using the railway in South Korea (typically you never have to show your ticket) and China (where staff went through my luggage and confiscated shaving gel of all things): setting aside any legitimate justifications for either treatment, one makes you feel like a fugitive who should not be trusted most of the time while the other treats you like a responsible and honest adult—and we all know how labeling works.

Will it be impossible to address, in a post-scarcity society, the underlying issues that cause humans to lie to or hurt each other? Do we actually have to resort to dressing more and more of inter-human interaction into a straightjacket of never-forgetting blockchain?
A a successful entrepreneur is someone who founds a profitable corporation. Whatever skills are required to do that is completely arguable and also completely irrelevant, if the corporation is indeed successful.

Entrepreneurship is not being good at sales. It's not being a good leader. It's also not being a good coder and it's not being good at whatever metric you might feel is important. It's about founding an (eventually) profitable company.
The point is that the outputs of the calculator are fundamentally surprising, in the sense that if any individual programmer could easily know all the expected outputs in advance, they wouldn't need the calculator in the first place. Photoshop surprises us by calculating the precise location of millions of pixels based on relatively simple inputs like a handful of clicks on a screen. This logic does not apply to every single imaginable program, but it does apply to the non-trivial ones.
The seem to be aiming at keeping the base price stable, or in some cases at the low water mark for prices for recent models. The new Air starts a hair below $1k as before.

After market RAM upgrades on Mac laptops haven't been possible for quite some time now, so I don't think a strategy to try and leverage more profit that way is a change. We'll have to see how they approach that for the higher end kit.
I agree tooling should be improved, but the change should be legible in more than one tool. Chances are good that someone will end up looking at the diff in the future in their favorite IDE, on the command line, or in who knows what else tool.

The simplest and clearest solution is to split out the changes in separate commits.
Thanks, very informative! It sounds like the kind of environment where blame-shifting was easy and no-one felt responsible. I'll try to catch up on some of the podcast episodes.

The rebranding question is still a bit of a question to me, even if industry will remember and if there are dis-incentives around it (i.e. the product line re-testing you mention, which might be still be a worthwhile dodge depending on the expected reputation cost - it probably affects hiring and job retention and various other things as well as industry perception and sales).

It's not the first time Google sides with scammers. What comes to mind is blocking of the phone call recording API in Android. I can imagine insurance companies and various other organisations involved in from phone sales to outright scams had a "talk" with Google to have this removed from the phones as consumers had too much power. I myself got scammed by insurance company - they claimed I will get a certain option, but after I paid and got all the paperwork, there was no mention of the option I was supposed to get. Thankfully I recorded all calls with that company and only when I said I had them lying on record they changed their tune and refunded me. I am now struggling to find a new phone that can record calls as if there was a conspiracy to never talk about this feature as well. I couldn't find any review that would test if call recording is possible.

The problems with ACH is that ACH takes 3 business days. If you want an "immediate" transaction, you do a wire transfer, and pay $30-60 for it, which is a hefty sum. That was one of the original "problem statements". Of course, BTC transactions are now very expensive, and that's an issue until lightning solves that.

As far as loans - the theoretical, grand idea there is that the loan market becomes global, e.g. Americans can loan to Sierra Leone, where they don't have access to a traditional, efficient banking system. Again, a pipe dream for now. Btw, there are other coins claiming to do loans based on reputation, but so far, I haven't seen them working well. And of course, there will be scammers.

This is Apple's opportunity to become a hardware giant. I hope they don't mess this up.
I can't agree with every point of the article, but there's a certain truth to it, particularly the false attitude that the important stuff is happening elsewhere.

I strongly recommend finding a local political change that is needed and learning how to affect that change rather than worry about the endless news cycle of national politics. For me, this is housing and zoning reform: needlessly restrictive housing law is creating needlessly expensive housing that is decimating and disrupting local communities. Change here can be at the town level or at the state reform level, and either are infinitely more actionable than say fretting over the supreme court or a politically gridlocked congress.

Slightly related anecdote:

Not sure who you can trust more in this conflict. I just know that political articles are full of partisan crap, I am sorry not to find better words for such a state.

I also know that the optimism and perhaps naivete was the better patron. Random vandalism of some pages wasn't even a large issue, but we can see severe framing in many cases and especially hot-button topics are often unbalanced.

Best articles come from random individuals from all over the planet. Certainly not from the WMF, but also not necessarily from a dedicated community.
That’s very interesting to note. I imagine that the popularity of the iPod led a lot of new people to Limewire before the iTunes Store and Spotify took off, pushing its true peak to be a lot later than most (including myself) might recall.

The “Don’t steal music” label on every new iPod might as well have been a Limewire ad.

So now you're saying that "slavery started to fade away" as soon as it was abolished but it had nothing to do with the actual abolition? Just co-incidence?

And, yes, it halved as a % of the population because the urban population was growing faster than the slave population was growing. That doesn't mean it was shrinking.
With GitHub's API, commits are so easy to game. I'd never use commits as a measure of how good of a programmer someone is. I made a Python script in 15 minutes to commit to a repo every second, and the repo is sitting at about 750,000 commits.
> "Don’t bother with man pages." Strongly disagree.

Me as well. Though I am not against well linked documentation on the web. But man pages provide several unique advantages.

- Because man pages are installed with the same package the software comes in, their version matches exactly to the version of the installed software.

- Man pages don't require an internet connection or a running server. The internet connection can be a problem in certain kinds of enterprise networks, embedded system or during my commute in the train. The running server costs money who might not be willing to spend it as long as I would like to use the software.

- Linking from the executable to the web is tricky. Does the terminal support clickable links? Which browser should I start? Does it help the user in any way to start a browser on a far away machine that he connected to through ssh, mosh, telnet or morse code over avian carrier?

- It is very easy and safe to open a man page to an unknown command. You can be sure the command is not executed by accident. If I have to type `some-command --help` I am never sure if this is one of those commands that doesn't accept --help and does something stupid instead.

Despite all these advantages of man pages or offline available documentation I also like good online documentation. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/ comes to my mind when thinking about excellent software documentation. Granted it is not a one-minute tutorial for the latest newbie. But for someone using that piece of software for years, its value cannot be overstated imho.

Well I hope I didn't dissuade you from making an Android app at all! I've always hated the steady stream of discouragement that comes out of people who claim to "know better" and I'd certainly hate to have added to the pile.

> costs of comparison to NULL aren't massive

Depends on how often you are doing the comparison. Is it 1 time/second, or 10 million times a second?

There is a difference.

If the code above is the one in charge of putting/removing network packets in a queue, or putting threads ordered by priority for the scheduler, then you should consider the side effects of checking for NULL.

If you are going to implement this function in a library for Jimmy The Programmer[1], then check for NULL.

Oh, interesting. I expect this is also easier in a country with single-payer health care. In the US, the majority of the cost of car insurance is for long-term medical care that may be needed after a crash.
These chips mean Apple makes more money as well. Each chip now costs them pennies, as opposed to hundreds they were paying Intel and AMD. And their design costs are basically paid off by the iOS devices.

Pretty much everything they were paying Intel and AMD (for graphics) is now profit in their pockets.

I also think that the biggest problem we are facing is, that we still haven't developed any useful metrics or measurements of quality in our field. There are some easy things like performance or resource consumption, but:
Others like security, robustness, maintainability or plasticity are equally important, yet different approaches can not be compared numerically only by argument.

To the ‘ad hominem fallacy’ people: the opening paragraph states its entire motivation and thesis: Pg’s recent ‘reactionary’ political views and then purports to figure this out.

Then it mentions nothing more about said views instead - yes - launching into an ornate argument about PG’s technical ideas from a decade ago to conclude that PG is an ‘unserious intellectual’, with the hope that its original thesis has been settled.

That’s ad hominem - don’t be fooled by the bloated, foot-noted middle.
