Not at all. I suppose that I am just trying to point out that every asset has its pros and cons depending on the situation. The Euros at the bottom of my travel case are just as useful to me as my gold coins at the moment, and the pennies under my couch cushions, though easily more liquid, are much less valuable than either. Bitcoin is obviously far more accessible and convenient than gold, but I just cannot see anyone using it for small transactions... at least while the network fees are as high as they currently are.

x86 used microcode from the beginning: https://www.reenigne.org/blog/8086-microcode-disassembled/
Loads of people didn’t think much of the iPhone when it came out either.

No physical keyboard, other devices have large touch screens, no stylus, can’t copy and paste. Appreciating the iPhone is largely done in hindsight.

Best not to make predictions too far into the future.
> The Atlantic was one of the media outlets that was drumming up fear that Houston was running out of room back in July and it never happened.

I call BS. I had a family member who was hospitalized in late June in Houston, for non-coronavirus reasons, at the #1 rated hospital in Texas for general medical care. They were literally hospitalized the night when our county judge put out the emergency alert on all mobile phones to stay home and isolate because the hospitals were going to go over capacity. The hospital was my family member was at was absolutely inundated. The pharmacy would hang up on the nurses because they were so swamped. Sometimes meals would come nearly 3 hours late. Nurse calls were not answered at times for over an hour.

My family member was also hospitalized in October, for non-coronavirus reasons, and it was actually worse than in late June.

These hospitals are basically now running two hospitals in one: a coronavirus hospital and a non-coronavirus hospital--that are not supposed to mix (everybody admitted to this hospital gets tested for coronavirus) but this still happens anyways.

This is such a huge undertaking and requires tremendous amounts of work by all of the healthcare staff.

Dude, you are being so disrespectful towards the people who are literally working non-stop under tremendous pressure. They are our last line of defense, for saving lives, and you are just totally blowing the whole situation off like it is no big deal.
Is there already an in-depth analysis of the M1 by someone with a low-level perspective? I want to develop an intuition on why/where the M1 is fast. E.g. is it branch prediction, reordering, memory latency. Unfortunately, most articles don’t go any deeper than “seems to be optimized for macOS”.
Probably going to (and should) be downvoted as well, but... while I respect republican/conservative views, how can you not see that this moron is the epitome of a shitty wannabe dictator? He's used all his power to try to falsely prove that the election was a fraud (while building up for it all summer), and failing miserably at it. He would definitely try any other viable means if could.

I don't even know what his actual "policies" are (who actually knows, he just leans wherever the wind blows) but I'm hard-pressed to find a more ungenuine person (maybe because the ones beating him are actually not outright idiots).

My view has nothing to do with policy/politics. The guy is just a fucking disaster - whatever text-to-speech puppet making public announcements would sound smarter and more knowledgeable.
Then I'm not sure why you put it in reply to a comment that just talked about how they don't understand how people could do that, if it's not relevant to the threats.
> I should say this is going to be remembered just like the iPhone in 2007.

I hope people will not forget about TSMC who made this all possible.
Every game is something "never done before". And I did not say not meeting deadlines is sheer incompetence. I said the way they slipped is incompetence. Less than a month from release while blindsiding their own company and fans.
Am I missing something? If I invest in those indexes I’m not investing in the stocks I actually want to own.
Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Once with a 6 months crunch, second time closer to 10 months of 14 hour days. That was enough for me to swear off the entire industry despite working towards it for most of my younger life.

Saw it what it did to our team, destroyed multiple relationships, the product suffered for it and overall both titles we're a disaster.

It cuts in more than one way, aside from some really rare cases the industry compensation is abysmal compared to traditional software engineering. I basically doubled my take home salary leaving the industry while also having a sane work life balance.

Rami Ismail of Nuclear Throne sums is up well[1]:

> In these situations we don't even expect everyone to get through unscathed. It's like management calculates the amount of churn, of burnout, of careers, relations, happiness that will be lost and goes "well, that's not too big a sacrifice to undo the damage of our incompetence".

Fuck em. They deserve nothing for putting a team through hell like that. Chances are they aren't the ones to pay for the damage their crunch does in the end.

"Los Angeles County contributed $656 billion in gross domestic product, or 27 percent of California’s economic output, in 2015, according to a Bloomberg analysis of the most-recent data available from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. That’s the largest amount of goods and services produced among 3,000-plus counties in the U.S. and equal to the economic might of Saudi Arabia."

I find the quote there that equates x86 to Windows ecosystem funny. That's just wrong.
The explanation is appreciated. We’re all human and passions drive us in weird, occasionally unpredictable ways. I’m undoubtedly as guilty of it as anyone.

Also, fuck those anti-vaxxers.
Yes that sounds familiar. Due to that and so much more, it wouldn't be surprising to see this phenomenon in USA building inspection as well. Only, I've built several buildings in the last decade, and I can confirm that the building inspectors (who in every case worked for the relevant local fire department) are very professional and very opposed to letting unsafe shit be built for the use of the public.
> 90% of the abstractions don't ever get used. Write twice and then make an abstraction.

Coding to avoid or contain change does not mean overabstracting. Overabstracting generally means more change down the line, which is one of the major reasons its bad.

I built an open-source email verification API: [link redacted]. It checks if an email exists without sending any email.

I released the open-source lib some years ago, and built a Saas only this year in April. It started generating revenue (~$100MRR) since September, and I'm not really touching it anymore.
I agree, there has to be a better way. This is a hard problem to solve as twitter, facebook and other social media companies are finding out.
"behaves strangely isn't random or stupid"

Nope, it behaves fine. The owner of the network is serving under age kids. Push too far and its white lists only and block all other IP and I'm sure we'll get deep packet inspection forced on us. Some folks have serious problems with Google Images Search, but you can actually deal with that.

I would also say anyone hard coding DNS into a device is just absolutely unprofessional. Its basically a red flag that any filtering the owner of the network doesn't matter to them.
Strange choice of title, since LEGO doesn't snap-fit. LEGO blocks join by press-fit, where tight tolerances ensure friction between the connecting surfaces. This as opposed to the expansion and contraction of intentionally miss-sized joining surfaces – causing the snap of snap-fit.
Or maybe it's a misdirection to get the enemy to go down a path they know is a deadend.

Or a lure to get the enemy to work harder on a problem so they can steal the solution.

Or fake so that the enemy spends more resources faster.

Or any of many other possible scenarios. It's a nonstop game of spy versus spy.
Nearly a third of workers don’t want to ever return to the office
I was thinking about the same thing.

If the commitment of Microsoft is in question, there’s a good chance of increased resources by Dell, Asus etc towards Linux.
Because the OP was about angry customers, not exclusively about death threats. Of course people are angry, because they in many cases actually lost something. In many companies, you book leave months out and cannot change it.

They were still promising there would be no more delays with less than a month to go, even saying only a natural disaster would stop them. Now we know that's a lie, and they were deliberately misleading customers.
Can’t speak for the poster who wrote the parent post, but we’ve just evicted the AWS Elasticsearch stack from our platform. For something simple, it was a resource hog, configured badly out of the box, complex in all the wrong places, and limited in its offering and linkages to other AWS resources. Just my 2 cents of course.
That's correct. If you're a software developer and interested in maximizing pay while minimizing stress, you obviously avoid the gaming industry. The only news here is that the company seems to have reneged on the promise it made, but it's not obvious how a union would have solved this problem. Would the union help get the game shipped on time?
The same system works wells in Singapore but it’s for three tiers of income and over 75% of population lives in govt owned housing.

Housing obtained at subsidized rate shouldn’t be treated as a speculative asset as the people signing up will likely never qualify for housing loans, normal interest rates or even have the ability to put down down payments. Especially in desirable areas. The goal is to provide stable affordable housing for those who are housing insecure. The market place has been made accessible to them for habitat and not to get an unfair advantage as a speculative play.

Do you have any source where I can look at the numbers?

ETA: the same system here in the us is called BMR or below market rent apartments. It’s not social housing or section 8. There are also 55+ only senior communities to assure that seniors are not priced out due to housing insecurity/eviction threats.
I’ve always wanted to know why they named the game Sauerbraten.
I never said not to do anything at all. I just want the action to be different. So you'd still get your climate change benefit - which I want too!

Maybe it works differently where you are but nothing is sold here. No paperwork changes hands regarding property ownership. At any point, if the homeowner wants to throw the roof solar out, they can.

They are getting a subsidy.

The subsidy makes the solar panel vs energy costs deal work out. It was ultimately to spur the solar panel industry - which I agree benefits everyone in the general global warming sense. But in the global sense it doesn't matter whether that is via a thousand homeowners or a single power station.

As for the land? :-) Australia has plenty of that. We're amongst the lowest population density on the planet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependen...

Go full fantasy and we have arid land for enough solar panels to power everyone on the planet - twice over! That fantasy ignores many realities. It is a terrible idea in a practical sense.

But it makes the point - we've got space for solar panels for one or two solar power stations for our local populace.

My point is that benefitting everyone a bit more equally rather than significantly the homeowners would be nice.
Imagine talking an overworked employee out of blowing his own brains out, so he can at least finish the work he has left to do and then you can lay him off.

That’s the game industry.

Who is a serious intellectual? What does that even mean? One thing I know is that serious thinking involves going through many ideas, many of them at risk of being naive or flawed, to sort out how to think about the world.

I could name one person but not only is he banned but I would probably be too if I mentioned him.
They have to say that, though, don’t they? They need to convince a bunch of regulators that their purchase of ARM won’t cause too much damage. They couldn’t really say that they would be going to choke a whole industry by dropping the licensing model, even if it were the case.
There’s a definite chicken and egg problem. I think it would have to be a grassroots bottom up thing starting with small vendors, because I agree the big vendors aren’t going to do this on their own. But the small vendors are probably the least financially able to make a principled stand on something like this.

You’re probably right that software devs as a group are generally too egocentric or libertarian minded to engage in any sort of collective action for their own benefit.
> and I thought that we'd be a bit more technically savvy than that here.

That part wasn't needed. Please be kind.
Nah, this is it for x86. The only relevant piece of x86 binary software is the Windows ecosystem ... and that runs on arm now. Everything else is either interpreted (Python, Ruby), JIT'ed (Java, C#) or can be compiled natively to arm anyway. All Apple have done is prove that it's possible.
Where are some benchmarks comparing M1 to the best x86 processors from AMD? Since M1 is only 4 big cores maybe it would be fair to compare it to the 4 core 8 thread APUs and not crush the poor thing with an 8 core version.

A1 is cool. Good for Apple, but it's not the computing miracle it's made out to be.
I've mined a few Moneroj just casually using my desktop PC. Makes for a good space heater in the winter time. Depending on it as a sole source of income, no. But it's not impossible to obtain cryptocurrency from mining in 2020.
The idea is that the cladding won't be stolen off the side of the building to be sold (criminal) or torn off by bored vandals (antisocial).

Yeah, letters don’t have much of a cost, but extra words do, which is why people complain so much about needing to plow through SimpleBeanFactoryAwareAspectInstanceFactories.
Then it's a good thing I never made an argument about whether she deserved to be fired.

Top level comment said, paraphrased, "it's a shame people dismiss her as a Twitter personality when she has a highly respected body of work in the field."

My reply was to press that, in my view, she's not being dismissed as "just a Twitter personality", but rather her Twitter behavior is worthy of examination in itself.

Finally, I've never read civil rights era letters to the editor, so I'm not referencing or borrowing any specific rhetoric from there. I'm using bog standard English language words to describe the arguments and advocacies that I am seeing in the present.
That would be in comparison to some mainland European countries, such as Germany, where tenants are more like a leasor, in that they can decorate, improve, etc.
> Wada is also interested in investigating what he calls the "type-II snap" which has the opposite qualities: it’s easier to pull apart and challenging to push together.

What is a good real world example of this? Maybe something like a spring loaded system which takes force to load but then is released with simple trigger.
It's also worth remembering that while it may have shifted the smartphone market (and certainly Apple tablets), competitors still exist, improving over time, remaining relevant. Would someone argue that Android is simply not an option as a smartphone for a very large portion of the smartphone market? No.

And likewise, competitors to Apple's laptops and workstations are very much going to continue to be relevant, and to improve and compete. The M1 has shown that power, battery life, and minimal heat production are more possible than ever. That doesn't mean end users will all suddenly drop everything and stop buying products from the competition. They'll just raise their expectations for future revisions.
A union’s role would be to enforce humane working conditions, not to ensure that a company achieves arbitrary financial goals.

"A nitrous oxide engine is an internal combustion engine in which oxygen for burning the fuel comes from the decomposition of nitrous oxide, N2O, rather than air. The system increases the engine's power output by allowing fuel to be burned at a higher-than-normal rate, because of the higher partial pressure of oxygen injected with the fuel mixture."

Some pieces do, like minifig hands on poles. The iconic bricks friction fit though.
This same effect can be accomplished by spraying cold water into the air inlet, and this is used in some high end cars and jet engines. It also cools hot points in the engine, letting you push the compression higher without causing premature detonation.

Does mean you have to refill a water tank too, but it also lets you get more power without producing any more NOx, which are bad for both the environment and people.

There is a reasonable discussion of the cache hierarchy, decoding units and out-of-order window.
It's a better oxidiser than oxygen - also the reason for nos tanks in cars.
My little desk-computer has a pretty dirty audio path. I can turn up the audio to hear the chirps of the power regulators over the speakers; when the CPU is leaning on the PSU. Even just keystrokes in my editor cause a flurry of chirps as the clock-rate is increased and the systems races to idle within a few milliseconds.

When a process stalls I would already know whether it's IO or computation. Depending on the chirping I may reach for either ping or top to investigate further. Sometimes I leave these chirps on for hours. It's nonintrusive feedback to me about background tasks and when they clear.

I actually worry that my next machine will not have this flaw. And now I'm thinking of a syscall-chirp generator to get an even better feel for the pulse of the machine :-)
I think the reason it keeps coming up is that it is the most prominent bad review, but due to Moorhead’s allegiances, poor calls in the past, and eclectic selection of software, his negative review comes across as being in bad faith.

Faking the smell is straightforward, but the vaguely creepy feeling of a dying tree in your living room is another story.
Yes, "as long as there aren't variable names that are too similar to one another"...

It isn't safe to trust that to be true. That way lies bugs, including security holes. You have to carefully check the names.

I agree. Also, buff dudes spend a long time at the gym and it makes me look bad compared to them so I don't think they should be allowed to go to the gym so much.

You're getting a lot of hate for this comment but I think it's an important discussion.

It isn't easy to "just go somewhere else" or "start your own thing" for a variety of reasons. The reality is that the majority of these game developers aren't getting job offers every day and don't have access to the kind of capital necessary to start a company.

It's flippant to suggest that these developers can just find another job, because the other reality is that most of these developers would only be able to find jobs doing the same thing but under a different moniker.

People in other places in this thread have produced some solutions, which I think is somewhere along the lines of organizing and unionizing, and I think that would help for bigger companies who are known to exploit these workers.

Whatever the solution, history has shown that you cannot rely on a company's word that they won't do this anymore.
Apple made it possible for TSMC to be able to do this. It's a tight partnership, and you don't understand the relationship between the two if you think TSMC's accomplishments come in isolation.

Your sentiment is better expressed as "I hope TSMC gets some credit for the role they've played."

Would recommend reading "Mobile Unleashed" by Daniel Nenni if you want to know more about ARM history in general.
I was thinking about doing the same recently. The big thing I wanted to test was the way they hide Worker spin up in the latency of the TLS negotiation.
Argue from personal interest if you like, but arguing from business interest suggests that you have a better idea what makes them money than their execs do; the final delay can't have been done for much more than money.

Reread the OP. It's not exclusively about threats. This is also a giant billion dollar corporation that deliberately misled customers (who in many cases have already paid them for the product).

How did they deliberately mislead them? By saying things like only a natural disaster would stop the latest release date, only for it to slip with less than a month left.

That's an actual lie and false advertising. As someone with project management experience, the people making those claims are either incompetent or lying.

So yeah, customers who paid them money and were lied to have an absolute right to be furious. Death threats is an excuse. 99.99% of the criticism was justified and without intimidation or threats.
I don’t think these goals are exclusive. I am not sure about the M1, but the A13 and A14 are doing quite well in SPEC benchmarks. If they have compromised these scores, it’s not obvious to me.
> put way too much focus (imho) on various nights and parties which don't really relate to entrepreneurship or business.

“Work hard, party hard” is an extremely common aspect of startup culture. I personally suspect that startups tend to draw in risk takers, which explains the prevalence of over-drinking in many (but not all) startups.
I was confused by this article. I am interested in understanding better the point of view of the author and if you have insight in it I would appreciate if you can elaborate on your comment. The criticism of the character creation surprised me: sure it could be better, but is it not also the most embracing version created yet in any AAA videogame that we known of. Same with the poster: is it not cool to have a buff trans protagonist - they are objectified, but that is the point of posters (see captain america or black widow posters). Please assume good faith in my questions: I understand the topic is sensitive but while I have tried to read up on it, my surprise at the tone of the article seems to mean that I am definitely missing something.
Sure, it is not desirable, but what if it is what is needed to suceed? Complaining about bad management doesn't finish anything.

Hopefully the compensation was OK, at least.
