Programming New Year's Resolution
I normally follow that pattern too — but Catalina was unbearably slow in comparison to Big Sur for me. My new 16” MBP with maxed cpu and RAM regularly took nearly 2 minutes to boot to my Home Screen on Catalina with no startup apps. Regular apps took over a second. Upgrading to Big Sur made my laptop feel fast again. The only downside right now is that it feels like I’m always charging this thing.
My 2014 MBP unfortunately still feels faster running on High Sierra though.
You're right. it has probably grown by a lot , but 90x is probably too high.
From Wikipedia [1]

"Mathematical induction proves that we can climb as high as we like on a ladder, by proving that we can climb onto the bottom rung (the basis) and that from each rung we can climb up to the next one (the step)."

For-loops are a discrete form of mathematical induction and is a basic concept to do any kind of programming, hence the joke (of course its more nuanced than that but is true in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way)

Manure is infinitely more valuable than the AU. Not to mention its current president/chair.

African politics is almost child-like which makes Europe and any country worth its salt giggle with glee. The expression -"like taking candy from a baby" - is apt. Therefore what china is doing is nothing new or special. US and EU do the same thing with heads of state that dont agree with their policies suddenly have civil wars with farmer's sons and military coups or the famous yet tragic "accident"

Its tiring.
You should look at both successes and failures. When you only look at one or the other, the features you pick out might not be unique to that group.
Reminds me of this: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DDfKMx-XgAAWoCT.jpg
It's because it happened to be an easy to remember brand that is now associated with the product.

Other examples are calling a tissue a Kleenex, calling a vacuum a Hoover, calling a cola a Coke, and so on.

Many mainstream people call a video conference a Zoom and it happened to stick.
Not in 1968, the year that car was manufactured in, and none of the other ID's that I've seen had this particular quirk, it was either done by one of the (many) previous owners or a fluke. The wiring in those cars got very brittle over time and shorts were pretty common. That car came from France to NL (I imported it).

Anyway, it was a fun gimmick and it helped to dissuade people from taking it for a ride. I never did find out if it was on purpose or accidental, that dash was not one to disassemble if you didn't need to.
> You don't need them until there's a home invasion.

I would argue that this also is a uniquely American perspective— for me (an urban Canadian), the thought of starting a firefight with an intruder is horrifying, especially once the possibility of accidentally firing on a child or pet is accounted for. I'm also deeply uncomfortable with the numbers around what "gun in house" means for suicide and domestic disputes (even if I know I'll always be level-headed, what about down the road when my kids are teenagers and have friends over, etc etc).

Obviously, part of the guns-make-us-safer story is that criminals don't know which houses have them and which don't, and as a passive effect that's difficult to really study. But for a lot of us on the outside of this mentality, it's hard to escape the feeling that the safety provided by a gun is kind of like the safety provided by driving an SUV— mostly illusory, and comes at significant costs both to self and others.

> And if you've built up a network of cameras powered by facial recognition on every street corner, you've now built the apparatus for an authoritarian-leaning government to harness.

I would argue that this is a distraction— that level of surveillance already exists, but it's away from public scrutiny and is managed by Facebook and Google.

The clear and current authoritarianism threat in the US is the 106 house Republicans who supported Trump's absurd Texas lawsuit, that the leaders of one of the two major parties are unwilling to clearly speak with one voice to shut this nonsense down. And I'd be happy to be mistaken on this, but my impression is that gun owner clubs are mostly on Trump's side— those who are talking about taking to streets wouldn't be doing so to ensure a peaceful transition of power, they'd be doing so because they believe conspiracy theories about a stolen election.
Personally, I envision a world like blade runner 2049. Humans thrive with technology and the earth ceases to be our parent, providing for us.

I don't personally worry about the collapse of the ecosystem as some major long term issue. Major extinction events have occurred in the past, and it portends a massive explosion of diversity as life adapts to the new ecosystem. In a few million years our AI ancestors will tend an amazing garden of native, artificial and synthetic hybrid life.

And if we don't make it... multicellular life will continue to flourish and evolve.
The conversation started by the linked article is clearly suggesting it can change Broadway when software is recompiled to run natively with Apple Silicon, though, and this is a perfectly reasonable take. An M1-based Mac mini that's actually less expensive than the Intel one it directly replaced can be a lot faster.

The arguments in the thread about "but a lot of software right now runs in emulation" and "who knows when the software companies will get around to transitioning" aren't wrong, per se, but they're also arguments that long-time Apple users have heard variants of in the PowerPC to x86 transition. And in the (original) Mac OS to OS X transition. And in the 68K to PowerPC transition. It turns out that when transitioning your software to the new platform doubles your performance and/or is necessary to keep selling your product, you have a fairly strong motivation to do the work.
I do take issue with audits that do not require critical thought; you are correct. The audit itself could be (and in this case is) self contradictory, which can be dangerous.
Ask HN: Where to start introducing young children to programming?
Have a friend who has two kids, an 8 year old boy and an 11 year old girl.

Both of which have started programming lego bots recently.

Just curious how I could best help them become better programmers.
> Except that as we keep trying to point out, 90% of EV charging occurs overnight at home, or at work during the day.

This isn't a good comparison at all. You're looking at the set of people who looked at the operational requirements for EVs and said "yes, this works for my needs" and then looking at how those needs are met. What you would really want to do is compare the operational requirements for EVs and the general usage of motor vehicles to see what proportion of the general usage of motor vehicles can be replaced by EVs and their operational requirements.

EDIT: Even further, you would really want to know about the value of different modes of usage as well. So, for example, it is possible that users value edge case usage (such as very long trips) much, much higher than they do day-to-day usage and so still you could meet 90% of general motor vehicle usage with EVs at the same convenience but if the remaining 10% was far more valuable to end users and the inconvenience too high, it might still not be reasonable.
they can plan as much as they want and not much will come out of it. to vertically integrate you need both softwaree and hardware arm as company. efficient cross comapny vertical integration is impossibl. microsoft is probably in best position but they will
focus on delivering “secuire platform” or something nonsensical like that since they wont be able
to compete on power/efficiency.

It's something that as a French person associate a lot with the USA, although the cultural influence of America is so great that it's been borrowed by many other cultures as a "hip" thing to do. Everything is uh-may-zin in America. Everything is "WOW" and "FLAVOUR BLASTED" and ends with an exclamation point.

I often mock some of my American friends by mimicking them when they say that some rather mundane thing is "AMAZING" or "OH MY GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT" or "THIS IS INSANE" and no, Mark, it's not insane, it's just a decent piece of a cake.

Of course my default French blasé attitude towards everything errs the other way, there's probably a compromise to be found. But at least when I say that I found something to be "amazing" my friends generally take note, because it's not something I say lightly.

That's sort of the main issue for me, it's like the loudness wars for music mixing, when people tell you how to unclog your drain as if it was the most amazing thing that ever happened to them the baseline is completely skewed.

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!
That depends.

If you have a high end gaming pc, probably not, but if you have a regular laptop or want to play on your tv, then I'd say yes

Edit

Should add that you need a solid internet connection
It’s surprising, or at least very interesting, that the move to work from home did not result in people using iPads, but actual desktop computers. Turns out people actually need “big trucks” to get work done, and the “post-pc” world is actually dependent upon PCs.

Reference: “Steve Jobs on the Post PC era”

https://youtu.be/YfJ3QxJYsw8

Was Steve wrong?
Lol... The state does not care about you! It's goal is power and nothing else.
Less pollution in the future and less need for lithium?

So maybe that’s a better trade off for the planet.
Was it deeply integrated in the remote learning of those schools? When I looked at it, Google Meet seemed to assume that you are properly signing up an entire organization to Google everything, whereas Zoom is much more "get a few accounts, email invites and get started", which is a lot easier workflow to get running if you suddenly need video conferencing. Even if you are in Google world, just getting a few accounts for teachers might be faster than getting Meet approved and turned on centrally.

Tbh, I still have not ever participated in a Google Meet meeting, so this probably also very much depends on the markets etc.
Asking the converse. Are there any fields in programming that require like measure theory or topology or whatever?
Couldn't you have satisfied the auditor's need for compliance as well as your own sense of security by simply composing SHA2 with bcrypt?

Hash(password) = SHA2(bcrypt(SHA2(password)))

A SHA-2 based hash with similar performance as bcrypt...
Hardly anyone who? Email clients are supposed to check or they're internally bound (Gmail web client etc).

Yes I think you can bypass the checks but doesn't mean they aren't checked
Yes I wrote earlier, I had a similar problem that I won on. I think it was bad luck and worth pursuing further.
I guess they were taken down?
That’s interesting. I wasn’t aware that was now possible with battery tech.

Thanks for the explanation.
Any company that originated from, passes Information through, China should be viewed with absolute suspicion. If it’s something that needs to remain confidential, it would be prudent to consider a different option.
For hydrogen, the mass of the gas itself is negligible compared to the weight of the tank used to store it in compressed form:

Therefore, an advanced composite container holding 5.7 kg of CH, would provide a range of 300 miles in a hydrogen vehicle, but will require a storage space of 260 liters (69 gallons) and weigh about 230 lb (104 kg). This will then be about nine times bulkier and three times heavier than a typical 7.5-gallon gasoline tank. (https://www.fsec.ucf.edu/en/consumer/hydrogen/basics/documents/task2_gaseous_h2.pdf )

So what you get overall is on par with the best batteries that are becoming available - which however have much better volumetric energy density. This is especially important at higher speeds: the energy required to accelerate a large mass can by recovered with a high efficiency using regenerative braking, while the friction of a bulky vehicle with air is lost (alternatively, passengers will drive a larger vehicle than required since the internal space is insuficient).

In commercial tire shops in the US the tires with the most tread always go on the back regardless of any other consideration.

This is because losing traction in front causes understeer, which is usually easily managed by typical drivers. On the other hand losing traction in back causes oversteer, which is often very rapid in attack and severe in extent. For some vehicles it is essentially impossible for a non-professional driver to maneuver out of an oversteer event.

So for safety sake the best tread always goes on the back. Most shops will refuse to do anything else.

What you're missing out on is that the stock price of companies is largely based on perception, and not necessarily of reality.

"Acting like a startup" gets you investor's money these days. See Nikola, Theranos, AMD, and more. They're not necessarily all bad products, but there's a lot of high-rollers who want to invest into risky companies.

In effect: companies pretending that they're risky satisfies a market... a market to sell shares.

Electric engines convert those Megajoules to actual motion much more efficiently than combustion engines.
It doesn't have a ton of games, but if it has the games you're interested in, why not? I just ordered the Premiere bundle (to get 4K) and expect to play Red Dead Redeption 2, Jedi Fallen Order and The Elder Scrolls Online. They don't have much else that interests me at the moment, but so what? It's only $99.
That is a perspective one acquires after a while. Another huge part is having the knowledge required to not blunder. The questions a beginner SE might ask are along the lines of "what are pipes? how do you package something to release it? how do I revert a git commit? how do i exit vim?". I know many people who are completing degrees in CS and related fields that do not know the answer to these questions.

That said, I think the best way to learn these kind of things is on the job, if you find a company kind enough to let you practice the basics.
I appreciate you sharing your explorations. Novelty is overrated when it comes to learning.
With China, ANY source is more trustworthy than Chinese state media and its affiliates. It may be Falun Gong but at least it’s not the Ministry of State Security.
Yeah - my solution was to not do that because I don't like having multiple monitors with mismatched resolutions anyway and I don't care for HiDPI for work. Every monitor I own is 1080p, even my laptop screen. My Macbook Pro is the only HiDPI computer screen here.

I'm not even sure what the point of HiDPI is though. It never made a difference for my work as a web developer. I understand it's more pixels per inch and less pixelation for high-res images, but if everything is getting scaled up what's the difference?

My (Windows 10) gaming rig used to be hooked up to a 4K 50" Samsung TV but I think the max I could get was 60Hz. Games and movies look pretty good there, but eventually I switched to a cheap 1080p/144hz gaming monitor because I play Rocket League mainly and that is a fast action e-sports game where you want to see as many FPS as possible.
I think the ML and data science folks are close to Math. I agree though generally speaking most programming doesn't involve math.
It would actually only have to increase by 65% each year to get a 90× growth over 9 years. Exponentials, remember!
Somehow the warning made it terrifying for me. Just an explosion with no warning would’ve been more normal to me somehow. It feels like a video game level where you have a countdown to solve a puzzle and you’re trying to save someone or something from the explosion.
I charge my electric Hyundai with a normal power outlet, and every once in a while I fast-charge it. 99% of the time that‘s good enough already. If we‘re going by convenience, plugging in at home is probably more comfortable than driving to a gas station, waiting 5 minutes, paying, and driving back.
Sadly, the device is not powerful enough for a Debian port.
I did eventually get compensation, the details are in the "Closure" section at the end of the post.
My “one weird trick” is take the time to understand type theory.

How are types implemented?

What are the native types on your computer?

How do types and whiteboard diagrams relate?

If you can answer those questions, you’ll start to get an intuitive sense of how to make a program out of types (eg, domain driven design) and of how the computer will interpret those types.
Of course, YMMV, but Southwest Airlines is very focused on customer service, and it is very successful.
I've recently seen a real hard-hitter of a picture online:

They started using soy-based insulation in automotive wiring a couple decades ago.

Sadly, it turns out that rodents really like to eat that kind of insulation. So if you have a car made after ~2000, you need to keep pests away from wherever you store it.
What video conferencing product was not niche prior? I guess WebEx, but "everyone" hates them. (Personally, what I had encountered at work pre-covid had been WebEx and Zoom, outside work a bunch of the free WebRTC-based ones which all didn't work all that great)
We're in agreement regarding the infancy of the field and how that manifests in practice.

I wouldn't take it as an insult, if I were a CS worker, however. That just means that the Gausses, Euclids, etc. of this field have yet to appear. All the warts of this field aside, it does offer a chance for making a dent in history. Something the young workers in the field may want to keep in mind ..
I disagree with this. Yes it is true that they dramatically improved the state of their product which helped them substantially and that some of the novel delivery mechanisms are mainly PR hype, but I don't think it's fair to disregard all the work they have done at all levels to simplify the delivery process.

Delivery from Dominoes is a seamless, reliable process. It is extremely easy to place orders however you want to place them; you can track the product through the stages of production and delivery in a highly granular way and be confident about when it will arrive; deliveries are fast, usually under 30 minutes; the product that is delivered always hits a certain level of quality in my experience; and you need basically zero interaction with a human to get it done.

Contrast this with food delivery services like Doordash which take FOREVER (eg > 1 hour and frequently much longer than that); have unreliable tracking mechanisms and ETAs; result in food that usually arrives cold; are extremely expensive; always require interaction with a human; frequently result in mistakes; and have a dispute resolution process which basically involves Doordash et al saying not my problem or sorry but we don't give refunds, here's a 15% off coupon for your next order.
This will vary a lot by institution. At my institution, the SE students are enrolled in all the CS courses, however they also have to take the core engineering courses as well. This leaves them with substantially less flexibility in electives, but a better understanding of the engineering and managerial aspects of SE.
Indeed! But they rarely have the lowest prices anymore. Certainly not the kinds of bargains you find on RyanAir or easyJet. SWA also doesn't give refunds unless you fly unrestricted, which is usually 3x the price of a restricted fare. To their credit, they don't charge change fees.

The way I think of RyanAir or easyJet or the like is a bit like gambling. Maybe 90% of the time you'll get a super cheap flight and everything will go fine, but the other 10% you'll lose your money. In the long term, though, it's a good deal for the passenger.
I get it, the gov has a hard problem to solve. It's a case of both of them being right - the gov needs a common level of gradable security applied, and these folks are in an uncommon position of being able to test and prove that their choice is more secure despite not being a graded choice that can be approved. The auditors are not subject matter experts, they work for bottom dollar to ensure fiscal efficiency and only check boxes. The best choice is shouted down in the name of efficiency.

This is also how smart folks will nearly always be chased out of government work. It's always safer and less work to make the dumb safe choice rather than the smarter choice that costs less or works better. This explains most of the big problems we have in government. We're not allowed to make smart choices ever, only mediocre choices at best, worst choices most of the time.

How long can we sustain this line of behavior though? We can do it for quite a while yet, but eventually the overhead will kill the state in multiple ways. Of always making mediocre decisions in order to guarantee mediocre results.
"Differences in health and illness are influenced by individual genetic and physiological constitutions"

This is true.

It would seem like a reasonable solution and compromise would be to list the innate genetic and physiological conditions which might affect a person's development. This could include information related to their sex-chromosomes as well as other markers which could be useful like deficiencies and allergies.
It looks like you can blend something in the neighborhood of 10-15% hydrogen into the existing natural gas infrastructure without negative consequence. That's not game changing, but it's a significant environmental improvement if you're using renewables to produce it. It's a fine way to utilize daily or even seasonal renewables overproduction in a useful way without blowing up tons of existing infrastructure. Many diverse steps - some small, some large - are needed to get ourselves to a carbon negative lifestyle.
> That's it. Better pizza = more sales.

I wish it were that simple. I mean, you can't have one without the other, but that's not the only important thing they did. The other really important thing they did was improve customer experience. Being able to order in whichever method has the least resistance for each customer is an important thing that shouldn't be ignored. They were the first pizza chain that made it possible to order by tweet, from your digital assistant, smart watch, etc.

Then, after you order, they actually gave transparency into the order process, making more customers comfortable that the order had been received and was progressing. At the time, this level of transparency was missing from delivery -- there used to be this black hole between placing the order and receiving the delivery where you didn't know for sure if someone had actually seen your order come in. That improvement in trust was game changing and you know it's great because it seems so obvious after you see it.

This article doesn't seem to have a lot to it other than "Apple's CPU efforts will motivate Intel, Qualcomm, and AMD to do better." And, you know, sure. I don't think we expected any of them to say "Welp, guess we better just close up shop now," did we.

(I suspect of those three, AMD's the one to watch. Not to discount Qualcomm and Intel completely, but they've definitely had a feeling of coasting for years.)
Might be some Google account integration built in to Chrome that's required.
Sure, it wasn't a particularly convincing test. But for this kind of standard to work, it has to be kept relatively up to date.

It's not like bcrypt is a new one-off algorithm that they invented for this project.
