omg they're actually doubling down on this. Libreoffice has something like 50k downloads per day and isn't listed, while among "critical projects" there is... minetest ? tesseract ? battle for wesnoth ? dolphin ? citra ?

There's qt creator (and a ton of Qt-using projects) but not Qt ?

Developer productivity is inversely proportional to complaining. Listen to complaints carefully.
I've never seen COBOL described as cool before, and I must respectfully disagree. COBOL is horrible and uncool -- I should know, I used in one of my first jobs.

Assembly language is kind of cool, though!
Exactly. Adding one more to such a long list probably won't have much impact.
Like a couple other people I'm very surprised by the negativity around this tool. I was introduced to it when I started my current position a few months ago and I've found it everything BUT hard to use.

The method chaining feels good as long as you check the return type of the function your calling. Most of the time it returns the element you just asserted against. And when you're trying to drill down into deeper sections of the DOM you can speed up tests by calling .within from a higher level element to keep the search to a specific part of the tree.

The individual steps with their state available for viewing in the sidebar is great as others have mentioned. The test doesn't run at light speed, so locally you can actually VIEW what is happening. Plus when it does fail there's typically a long timeout (~40 seconds) before the test actually fails. So it's very noticeable when your test hits a snag.

Also helper functions are not hard at all, and we have a few useful ones we use in almost every section. I have more I could say, but I'm not going to write a huge raving post. Just wanted to try to post some positive contrarian perspective.
Global polices take time to bubble up. Say you get a local authority to agree to something (news), then multiple ones (news), then the entire state (news), then multiple states (news), then a continent-sized entity (news), then multiple continent-sized entities (news), then all entities (news).

That's a lot of announcements for what could be, in practice, a single policy. When the problems are as many and as interlocked as this particular one is (involving emissions, energy sources, level-playing market issues, etc), you will have a multitude of agrements and initiatives, which will feel "multiplied" through news channels.
I happened to desperately rationalize what most companies in social tech go through.

I am traveling (I’m the kind of person you expect to travel in a pandemic, wear a mask!). And I have Gruber’s comparator: the Bose QC35 II. I carry mine in their case hooked to a carabiner hooked to my briefcase, so the APM’s highly exposed wrapper of a case is not my cup of tea. I can also see the utility for movies at home so I appreciate the MacBook/Apple TV problem. Those are 2 of my 3 main use cases (The other of course being VTCs like everybody else). I don’t think that I will be running out to replace my current headphones but when they get long in the tooth I might consider the second generation of this APM design. It’s not a retina MacBook where I would buy it pre-order as soon as the announcement is out. It’s a 2008 unibody MacBook. It has a compelling future but I want to see what version two is.
Bojo has already stated that they aim to lower their standards to better compete with the EU, so totally understandable that the EU doesn't just believe him.

An Ar-15 is no more compact than a hunting rifle. Barrel length is restricted by law.

And every gun I’ve seen with a detachable magazine comes in a variety of sizes. Hell. A Ruger 22 rifle accepts a 100 round magazine. Is that an assault rifle?
> ... definitely feels like they’re intended for stationary use. Their lack of water resistance aside...

> It’d be nice if [spatial audio] worked with MacBooks... But the device that’s just begging for spatial audio support is Apple TV... It’s crazy that Apple sells a premium movie-watching set-top box and very premium movie-listening wireless headphones and they don’t work together for a premium spatial audio movie-listening experience.

So, AirPods Max are not water resistant and are heavy enough to feel intended for stationary use. Yet the two unique selling propositions of these headphones are: seamless transitions between Apple devices and spacial audio.

Seems to me, if you're not going to be using these on-the-go for comfort reasons, you also won't be benefiting from the only two unique features they offer.
Corporations are already deciding what videos you see, whether you like it or not. They are already censoring.

I really really enjoy Clojure and think its success will only grow.

The (excellent) Java interop is a major strength. I’d argue it’s also a double edged sword: Java libraries tend to be very mature and capable, and Clojure programmers, especially the senior ones, tend to be very comfortable in Java, so often the native libraries just don’t get written.

I went to look for a CSS selector library the other day, the accepted solution seems to be to just call into Jsoup. I did find a native xpath library but it was such a thin wrapper around Java stuff that I ended up needing to learn those APIs to get something done the wrapper author hadn’t considered.

The thing about relying on Java libraries is the users, who came because they like lisp and Clojure, spend an inordinate amount of time trying to wrap their heads around Java apis (if they don’t know them already). Which is not fun.

ADHD not, but CFS yes - i take meds daily to not keep falling asleep all the time.

My theory is that for the part of the ADHD population the core reason is excessive daytime sleepiness/tiredness.
Not the most positive review ever. The lack of Apple TV seems like a thing, but presumably an update is in the works.

The weight thing seems like a design decision that gives insight into the job to be don’t by these headphones, which is very much not the job(s) handled by AirPods and AirPods Pro.
To each their own, but over the ear headphones with noise cancellation make public transit much more enjoyable for me.
How would less RAM make the M1 faster?

A paradox is defined as a well-founded but self-contradictory statement. The existence of this paradox means that absolute freedom of speech is impossible, it's not a rule you can follow.
I'm central UK and had the exact same thought when I saw these announced — it would be a brave soul who wears these where I grew up!
With any policy there is a serious risk of unintended consequences, however.

If this policy does not explicitly include trade, there’s a real risk that European companies will lose in the market as their products are more expensive compared to high pollution imports, or they’ll be forced to move manufacturing to locales where they are permitted to pollute more, both of which are bad for the EU and the world.
I agree, and I hope to see more fully open review approaches in the future, where everyone who is interested can see the reviews and the reviewers' names. The Journal of Open Source Software has this: https://joss.theoj.org/.
It's certainly not a high-profile journal, yet, but it starts getting contributions from strong researchers.
Considering that in small communities, it is not uncommon that even the author can infer who the reviewer is, anyway, I think this is the way to go.

>Let me tell you a secret. It doesn't work for non-programmers. The complexity of "Z = X + Y" is no more or less than "ADD X TO Y GIVING Z", and bugs will happen at the same rate with either syntax. The added verbosity will only annoy you.

Not to mention that verbosity often distracts from meaning, leading to more place for bugs to hide.
> Is that latter case simply due to the availability of high performance GPU cards?

It's a combination of things:

* Apple has not indicated that they'll allow for third-party GPUs

* Apple has not pushed for widespread gaming compatibility

* Game developers prefer to reach the widest audience

Apple would need the M1 successors superior in gaming computation and capable of marrying up to high-performance GPUs, write the drivers necessary AND get broad adoption of Apple gaming to factor into game publishing.

This is all theoretically possible, but it didn't happen while Apple was using roughly the same high-end hardware available to PC gamers, so it's questionable (in my mind) that it'll happen when they are locking down their hardware further, and trying to use all their own hardware for gaming.
Most of the interfaces I've seen that interact with COBOL running on mainframes are built with Java.

Not sure if this helps, but could also lead into working close/near with mainframes and COBOL.

I saw your text as a light grey so I decided to re-read it a few times. I absolutely agree with you. The people who complain the least should be paid the most attention when they do.
One minor point of differentiation, it looks like while this uses screenshots to capture each step (correct me if I'm wrong), Cypress captures the DOM structure. You can go back to any step an inspect the raw code on the page, which offers a bit more context when debugging.
I understand that and it reinforces my opinion, lobbying works because representatives and sometimes officials with unilateral control are told to do things because they are too dumb to do what's good for them. That is lobbying, the word used when you respect that particular country, or corruption, the word used when you don't respect that particular country. In my experience across jurisdictions, the process is analogous.

The obvious answer that you haven't accepted is that, in this conversation, you are a diver surrounded by amoral sharks.

We all view and see the gradient of relativity and are not swayed by your arguments. The consequences guide the actions, and a municipality's hotel tax or zoning laws are the toothless kinds of laws, so toothless that it isn't even worth bothering to change them. Did you see how gig apps lobbied with push notifications against California laws and referendums and court rulings? Because of the consequences.
You can airplay almost all content, but I guess it doesn’t have Bluetooth 5.0 or other hardware it needs to work with the Max (there’s also no U1 chip[0], in case that could have been used to have the iphone work as a proxy or something).

I was ambivalent about noise-cancellation until two things happened at home this year…

- With the assistance of a friend, I rebuilt my kitchen. He swore by his AirPod Pros, I dealt with hours of tablesaws and sanding with foam in my ears.

- Then my building owners jackhammered apart the rooftop overhead in an asbestos removal project.

Now I’m thanking my AirPod Pro every time my neighbor’s baby wakes up at night.
AirPlay exists for that exact purpose, but I haven't seen anything confirming or denying whether spatial audio works with AirPlay.
> RISC-V is praised only by people who have very little or no experience with different CPU ISAs and with the history of their evolution.

I'm having trouble actually digging up the reference right now, but I've been told that it was specifically built out of decades of industry experience in what works in building processors/ISAs.

> RISC-V sucks more than even the ugliest ISA, x86.

How so?

> At least from the huge x86 ISA it is possible to extract a subset composed mostly of more recently introduced instructions, which can be considered as a decent ISA, except for the weird encoding, with many prefix bytes, which is needed for backward compatibility.

So, exactly like RISC-V base + extensions?

Is maintaining legacy spaghetti code written by below average programmers something that strikes your fancy? If so, COBOL might be for you -- but bear in mind there's no shortage of legacy spaghetti code written in more modern & marketable languages! :P
This is not an added feature, it is a removed restriction.
Yep. Back when I had a job that took up a lot of my time, I tried avoiding overtime ($50/hour). I actually used this website back then to determine my time was worth $150/hour to me.

Basically, unless OT paid a lot more, I wanted my free time.
It was meant to attack some representation of fundamentalist Islam.

Most Muslims do not believe in the requirement for burqas and niqabs. There is no such prescription in the Qur'an itself, only a requirement for modesty that some fundamentalists interpret as full concealment.
> Every other pair of over-the-ear headphones I’ve ever used feel a bit cheap in comparison, because my over-the-ear headphones have all been constructed mostly of plastic.

His comment here surprises me, because I'd have assumed Gruber knows the headphone space really well. He should check out a pair of Sennheiser HD800s or Audeze LCD series. At the high end, headphones definitely don't feel cheap. There are also plenty of models in the $500 range that don't feel cheap. In particular: headphones intended for the same use as the AirPods Max apparently are (stationary, high fidelity) usually don't feel cheap, and are also usually heavy!

The rest of the review seems fine. The AirPods Max look nice and probably sound nice; if I didn't already have a pair of LCD-2s I might buy them. But I don't need another pair of headphones unless they're designed for portability. Based on what Gruber's saying here, they are not.
Soviets killed only white Europeans. Maybe some Jews too, but the amount would be insignificant when compared to Nazi Germany, so it's all good.

Confederate flags aren't national flags, so you are looking for something more than consistency when you make that comparison.
That is itself abusing the system and makes it worse for those who need it. There are benefits for the disabled that some technically qualify for that are meant for those worse off than they are.

Unfortunately I don't know how to draw the line - that is why it is possible to abuse the system: some who need the benefits may seem better off than others who don't need them. This same argument prevents some who really should take benefits from taking them! All I can say is be careful and please don't cheat the system - everyone who cheats is evidence that we need to tighten the rules even at the expense of not giving benefits to those who need them.

It is a hard problem.

Stop using some very rare edge cases as an argument. You are just showing your absolute incompetence.
They are applying the reasoning entirely consistently, you are just refusing to actually accept what the reasoning is.
Did you read something on crypto about 10 years ago and then stop reading? Strange decision to vocalise that fact on HN.
If anyone has a good reason to bundle every location’s use case into one app it’s Uber. A common Uber user scenario is someone who takes an Uber to the airport in one country, arrives in another and has poor internet capability for one of several reasons (roaming, poor mobile service, must connect to airport wifi, etc).
> goes back many years

I've sometimes wondered what might have happened if 9/11 had occurred a couple of months later. My fuzzy understanding is that through 2001, US DoJ was working up a major effort, a "War on Porn". Mid September, shortly before kicking off, that focus became an embarrassing liability, and was quietly shelved. So instead of a big explicit declared War, with associated societal reflection, we've had a long quiet shadow war, with misdirection integral. Though hoping for societal political reflection seems increasingly quaint.
The fact that a number is independent from ZFC does not meant that the number is inexact. The theoretical functioning of a 800 state Turing machine does not obviously depend on your axiom system.

In fact, I find the example a pretty nice argument for 'undecidable' problems having an actual truth value. Specifically because of the thought experiment of 'how would BB(800) not have an actual exact value'.
Well, if you don't care about security, you can always put the setuid bit on the binary (I suppose that would work?).

In case 2. you're being a little disingenuous by oversimplifying the issue.

The issue is that when "bad guys post bad stuff", it gets amplified because its engaging, and can really distort people's reality and nudge their belief systems. Have you taken a look at Cambridge Analytica? This was their playbook. There's a reason those people were paid a lot of money, and received a ton of scrutiny.

As for case 1. Yes, people are not happy with the status quo, but they can be convinced that the reason they are not happy is because of something that's difficult to prove, and creates an "us vs. them" mentality. Think antisemitism in WW2, or anti-immigration, more recently.
That you are not entitled to without limits.
> COBOL jobs are not particularly well-paying, and there are young people learning it, and no, they don't get awesome paychecks.

But say this to non-programmers, and they vehemently deny it's true. And always cite a friend of their neighbor who made it good from COBOL. It's like they need to believe there's a shortcut out there to sure wealth as long as you're smart and work hard.
Google Campus asked a bunch of other personal questions (ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation etc if I’m not mistaken).

The funny part is that in Europe this is considered extremely sensitive information and there are even strictrier laws and penalties for storing those than the regular personal data.

There are many consumer headphones with an “open air” design that let street noise in.

I live in a busy hipster neighborhood that’s also a major traffic hub... and I like it. I’m a city rat. The music is supposed to come with the roar of cars at a green light and the dozens of half heard conversations on busy sidewalks.

I have the-cheapest-model Sennheiser open airs and a with-mic-for-Zoom-calls JBL. The JBL absolutely isolates the environment mechanically. This is good for a meeting (except for the fact that you hear your voice from your skull, but heck.)

Correct, but how people use the web has changed over time. Content and interaction was also far less centralized. I had to dig for specific channels on IRC to find the kind of hateful discussion I can find in 5 seconds on Twitter. There was far less spam and noise in those days.

Many of us run an ad blocker in our browser. Is this not censorship of certain types of speech?
On this view, all the problems you mention are only
problems because society doesn't give affected people
enough support

Sure, it's possible to reductio ad absurdum the "social model", just like nearly anything else.

"Being in a coma isn't a problem! It just makes you different. The problem is society's refusal to cater to the workplace needs of people in a vegetative coma state!"

All the social model aims to do is think about a separation of the impairment itself and the ways in which society may make it worse.

In some cases, sure. Lots of impairments will just be debilitating no matter what. Somebody in a coma is not going to be able to participate in society very much.

Lots of counterexamples though. For example, imagine a skilled software developer. However, she needs a wheelchair and she can't work anywhere in town because none of the buildings have wheelchair access. A perfectly able developer has been rendered disabled (or at least, unable to work) by this fact. This is somebody who could be working, if we simply build wheelchair ramps or allowed her to work from home.
We often talk about the sanctity of "freedom of speech" for people who say harmful things, but what about the people that are suppressed from participating, because of fear of being brigaded, doxxed, or emotionally harmed. These people are being prevented from "freedom of speech" as well. Usually for reasons of being in an out group. Shouldn't the platform be able to censor those who would limit it's growth?
