Apple can only give guidelines and draw contractual terms. If a supplier is in breach then Apple can go ahead and break the contract and that supplier would lose out on a lot more than just the contract (as is the case here). But to hold Apple accountable for the actions of this company (and it may have only been the finance team being pushed by say, a CFO to show profitability for a quarter before a promotion or something) seems out-of-the-ordinary and unreasonable.

They're an easy target but you have to put the bias aside with Apple.
You should take a look at Denis Villeneuve's Arrival(2016) if you haven't already. It explores this concept in a very peculiar yet thought-provoking way.

That aside, I think that If in the future somehow manage to make effective use of VR/AR for purposes other than entertainment, such virtual environments could be used to simulate suchevents. It would be reminescent of today's Fortnite events, but with much more serious repercussions.

However one should keep in mind that such events could have traumatizing and demoralizing effects on our civilization. Although temporary these effects might constitute a major setback.
In many cases the memory usage is linear with input data, so you can come up with a function that predicts memory usage, add some padding, and then you don't need retries. E.g. this example here: https://pythonspeed.com/articles/estimating-memory-usage/
Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. The problem was that I was doing this on my residential cable connection from the US and the exchange where I was executing trades would be in Eastern Europe. The ironic thing is that even back then I had a good idea of how to set up communications with a server like theirs to be significantly faster but it didn’t occur to me that milliseconds mattered. A typical trade if they executed it almost instantly still took 300ms. And they didn’t execute instantly so it was closer to 2 seconds more likely than not. Out of curiosity, what are the fancy examples of this vs this simplistic one?
> (I know promises are ~technically~ not monads)

"first nation to deliver vaccinations at a big scale"

Yes, we are getting into it but something like 300K first jabs for a two jab vacc in two weeks is not going to set the world on fire. The logistics behind delivering the jab are absolutely breathtaking.

Here in the UK we are rich and have the science etc. We are a small, comparatively, densely populated place. We have a country funded health service and a fairly well funded military with experience and gear and man power. I think the UK represents one of the best possible case studies for mass vaccination.

60M people at 300K per week is 200 weeks or nearly four years - this is a very artificial example and only an illustration. To get 60M people jabbed, twice, in a few months is going to need a few resources!

As a kid I remember a red liquid that you could buy at the store that had mercury as it's main active ingredient. I remember that every time I cut myself my mother would get this thing out and put a little of it on the cut so it would not get infected. I remember going to school with these red spots. Now it's strange but at the time it was normal for everyone to have them when they cut their skin.
>Yet when a journalist calls up a scientist and say "What do you think?" and the scientist says "These could have an effect on virulence or transmission or antibody neutralization," somehow that gets translated in to "It's making the virus more virulent"

This has been an incredibly large issue for almost a year now and it's ridiculous. Journalists not understanding the way scientists speak was vaguely understandable ten months ago, but after a year straight of science being the number one news maker in the world it's obvious that the media is just use it as an excuse to scare-monger and increase their clicks.

Literally every day in the last few weeks I've had to explain to someone that vaccines will almost certainly have a profound impact on if people can transmit the virus because the news articles keep taking the "We don't have data yet on how it impacts transmission" and reporting that as the worst case scenario, when in all likelihood it will profoundly diminish people's ability to transmit the virus.

So far the outcome of the "disgusting spectacle" in the US has provided evidence against the risk of incipient dictatorship, not for it. States mobilized to various degrees of success to enable voting despite the pandemic, and the result was the highest turnout since 1900.

And you should really familiarize yourself with the actual government response in the UK and US during World War II. The censorship regime was extensive, far more so than anything we've seen in recent memory:

Although I agree with Microsoft's position here, one line stuck out as absurd:

A study of cyber-attacks was done, and the United States was not included on the list of countries? From Stuxnet to Vault 7 to US officials openly bragging about our cyber attacks on Russia (and others), there is no dispute that we are among the most active countries in the world when it comes to cyber-attacks. Ask Angela Merkel what she thinks about it. Absurd posturing by Microsoft to leave us off the list.

> AMD has been doing great work over the past few years

Yes - thus "MS's fortunes" is also tied to AMD.

> but they've traditionally been a much smaller outfit

Tradition isn't really the key here. Intel does explore more markets and holds much more market share (specifically desktop and laptop PCs) right now. AMD has been steadily growing in the desktop/laptop space, aside from their semi-custom (console) business, and they have made meaningful strides in performance and efficiency that at least keep Windows (and thus Microsoft) in the game now that Apple Silicon M1 has brought Macs to the table as competitive performers.

But - I'm less convinced Microsoft has to copy Apple and design efficient ARM chips in-house in order to remain competitive, at least in the PC business. I think we'll see some shifts in market share from Windows to MacOS, initially in laptops, and the rest will remain to be seen, but Apple should certainly become competitive in other PC areas as they roll out their new lines of CPUs. There are plenty of areas where AMD's performance CPUs remain very competitive, and Windows is still the preferred "mainstream" and "gamer" platform.
England and Wales (maybe the whole United Kingdom?) fixed this specifically for such important crimes. You can face a second (or indeed subsequent) trial for some crimes despite being earlier found NOT GUILTY if there is substantial new evidence for the prosecution. In OJ's case, it's likely (under those rules) prosecutors could put together enough evidence to show OJ actually did kill those people, go back to court and get him convicted.

Historically it was possible in England and Wales to re-try people in some particular extreme cases. For example if prosecutors could show tampering with the jury allowed you to get off, they can get the High Court to run a new trial, having presumably successfully convicted people (maybe including you) for the jury tampering meanwhile. Or if the original trial judge made a decision that is manifestly wrong e.g. you're on trial for murder, the judge says you seem like a nice man, acquits you on the spot, that can be appealed because a jury was never asked about it.

But in 2003 as a result of the fall out from the murder of Stephen Lawrence (basically a bunch of white guys murdered a teenager apparently for being black but they weren't found guilty of murder) the law was changed. Now it's possible for prosecutors to go to court to get the court to decide that your original acquital was unsafe (the same way they'd decide if e.g. new CCTV evidence showed you were actually half way across the country at the time of a crime your conviction for that crime is unsafe and should be undone) and order a new trial. This option is only open for a handful of offences like murder or kidnapping.

PowerShell is, in my opinion, quite discoverable and usable with a few commands to find your footing. I don't memorize a lot, because it's so well-structured and intuitive for the most part that once you get the basic structure it's easy to hack around with the docs.

Three commands that are useful to memorize, though, (particularly if you're having trouble remembering names) are Get-Command, Get-Alias (also with -Definition), and Get-Member. Get-Command gets you info about a command, like if it's an alias or not, and the path if it's a unix command. Get-Alias shows you all the active aliases, and Get-Alias -Definition shows you the active aliases for a given command. Get-Member shows you all the members of an object which can help you with Select-Object and Where-Object and so on.

Yes!!! I've been trying to teach Juniors that if the function itself has 4 levels of abstraction, even if the names are readableFunctionThatDoesXwithYSideEffect ..... it is harder to understand, Ctrl+clicking downards into each little mini-rabbit -hole. Just keep the function as a 80-liner, not a 20-liner with 4 levels of indirection w/ functions that are only used once (inside parent function) ugh.

>I don't always need to have n+1 layers in my architecture where all the layers just call the next layer anyway.

This is by far the most common thing I’ve seen consistently in especially difficult to maintain codebases. Anecdotal for sure, but number 2 on that list is way behind. Extra abstractions for a future that has yet to happen and abstractions because the IDE makes it easy to click through the layers is the number 1 by far reason I’ve seen code based be very difficult to maintain.

If you just keep in your head, “Can I see exactly enough on this page to know what it does? Not more, not less?“ It’s an impossible ideal but that concept is a fantastic mental guideline for maintainable
codebases.
> Mostly Python these days, but I try to make it clear and easy read.

Which is why I enjoy languages that let me do this without getting too hung up on performance. It's curious that you bring up Python, because idiomatic Python (especially where math libs are concerned) seems to vastly favor brevity/one-liners over all else. It's nice to hear that a veteran is favoring clarity.
That advice should be understood in the same way as "sentences should be no longer than a few dozen words" or "paragraphs should be no longer than a few lines". Of course adding a line break at an arbitrary point in a long paragraph doesn't make it better. But a solid wall of text is a red flag.
> At the risk of stretching the analogy, maybe the equivalent is "code only those things that people at a junior level would recognize for what they do".

Spot on. And I would add: Keeping in mind that junior level person could be under excessive stress. Perhaps something has failed. Perhaps they are looking at that section of code for the first time.

Context matters. It affects readability, comprehension, and understanding.

I think the central thesis of Clean Code still holds up. You should never mix layers of abstraction in a single function.

I agree up to a point, but I find this kind of separation a little… idealistic? I prefer the principle that any abstraction should hide significantly more complexity than it introduces.

At the level of system design, there probably are some clearly defined layers of abstraction. I’d agree that mixing those is rarely a good idea.

But at the level of individual functions, I have too often seen numerous small functions broken out for dogmatic reasons, even though they hid relatively little complexity. That coding style tends to result in low cohesion, and I think the cost of low cohesion in large programs is often underestimated and can easily outweigh the benefit of making any individual function marginally simpler. If you’re not careful, you end up trading a little reduction in complexity locally for a big increase in complexity globally.

Using an IO monad first is putting the cart before the horse, unless your business problem is fundamentally about IO. If you want to be able to express the business logic as functions then you need to use monads to encapsulate the complex parts of the implementation (or you'll end up with an ad-hoc, informally specified, bug ridden implementation of half of them), and once you're comfortable with them you'll probably find them useful for giving you explicit-but-not-too-verbose control over IO as well.

1. Again - there are multiple workers; different workers do not have to take the same position (and, despite the headline, there's no evidence presented that the rioters were workers)

2. I make the opposite assumption. If the company has 7 million dollars of assets, why would it be defrauding wages?

3. Yes, we agree that Apple is not involved in this dispute. There is a good argument that they hold some responsibility for the situation, that is not currently recognised in law.

So, we simply disagree.

But, even if I were to agree with your points, I still don't reach "bad/corrupt legal system".

Do riots which occasionally happen in every country in the world illustrate a bad/corrupt legal system? I think not, and I wonder why you reach this conclusion in this case.

That's true. Younger people seem to lean left. As they grow older, a lot of them start to lean conservative.

My hypothesis is that when they are young and underdeveloped, they have incomplete understanding of the world, are prone to believing in unrealistic utopian ideas, and hence are easy to manipulate. No wonder, the leftists want the voting age to be lowered even further.

As they grow older and wiser, they see it for what it is.

The younger conservatives are explained by the fact that some kids who grow up in conservative households don't fall for the same manipulation and older liberals are explained by the fact that some people are more reluctant to change, mostly because they weave their personalities around their identities in early adulthood. Some is of course explained by influence of peers (i.e. people adopt a political view to fit in) and hence location... but I think this covers it all.

I know I will get downvoted for this which is fine but I'd like to know your hypothesis for the same population leaning conservative as they age is... if it's not too much trouble.

Indiehacking: A review of my 3rd year
When Apple launches a new product, they tend to stick to markets where they can create a unique enough product where they can have good profit margins. For example, with the iPhone & iPad, Apple owns both the OS and the CPU. On the Watch, Apple has integration with the iPhone and the best wearable CPU.

How can Apple bring a unique enough experience to the car to get the margins they command on their other products? Perhaps they wouldn't get the 30% plus margins they get elsewhere, but I can't see Apple spending so much effort to get the slim 5-10% margins you see other automakers getting.
The default advice for Reddit is "just unsubscribe from all the defaults because they're full of toxic assholes" so I don't see why the same measure wouldn't apply to Voat or 4Chan.
