I know that developers can post LLVM bitcode to the App Store instead of a binary, which allows Apple to recompile it for architectural changes. I'd be surprised if Apple optimized per device. Creating separate builds with optimizations for different iPhone models would make more sense. Do you have more details on that?
Requiem for open source maintainers: “is this dead?”
Sure, but this article called out Elixir in a most unflattering way too, two wrongs may not make a right but I don't see the point of this post to do anything other than what I did right there state an opinion that is going to rustle some jimmies. There's no real objective discussion to be had here.

Edit: That said I'm not being contrarian for the sake of it, I tried both Erlang and Elixir. Elixir however, is the one that kept me because I knew I wanted the benefits of that VM and the OTP capabilities to a degree but the niceties of a modern language which is after all a major reason I choose a language to do a job and be easy to write and maintain which I feel Erlang lacks the latter.
As a hiring manager, a large fraction (easily greater than 50%) of resumes that I see do list OSS projects and contributions as accomplishments and technical experience.

I work with professors at a university, the amount of times I've heard them complain about low attendance rates makes me think otherwise.

Yes, professors don't usually TAKE attendance but they do make a big fuss when they notice half the class missing even if it's because the other half of class watches the lectures on their own time.
I’m not familiar with the book, but

1) I don’t think the analogy of ambling around our backyards holds for space travel. Space is vast and largely empty, it would be astronomically unlikely for anyone to casually wander over to earth from another star or galaxy.

2) We only treat ants that way because we already know about them. People have noticed them and studied them at great length. A person who doesn’t know that other animals exist on earth would probably be incredibly fascinated by them and likely try to communicate with them.
Imagine if forgetting your password locked you out of your 401k forever.

I definitely would not feel comfortable with that.
Yes, oppression is too strong of a word to use - the feeling I had would have been better described to state that suppression of ideas is on the spectrum towards oppression, a sign that that's not the best direction to go in, the better direction to lead towards is closer to freedom, and expression vs. suppression.
Please only memo if you need to (e.g., "Wow! This component is noticeably faster when I use memo, there's customer value in that").

Overly aggressive usage of React.memo, and premature optimization in general, tends to be more trouble than it's worth.

I agree, and I wish this particular comment of yours were further up the chain.
It's completely untrue in my experience working with WWW, GNU, and POSIX. Compared to Android, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, eBay, and many other platforms I've developed for, I feel supported and catered to, and if I have a problem or a question, there is an actual human on the other end to guide me, politely and helpfully.

Developing for Windows back in the day, it was about halfway there. I had zero ability to communicate back to the platform owners, but I rarely if ever felt shit on, disrespected or disregarded. In contrast, on Win32, I felt like everything I wanted to do had already been considered ahead of time, thought through, and there was an existing and elegant solution available.
thanks!

HN is amazing sometimes ;)

I was 17/18 just becoming independent in college when I discovered the show and it gave me so much confidence.

'No excuses. No apologies. No Regrets", "F*ck em all", or Justin's self actualizing speech to his therapist and mom that I won't repeat here lol.

Yeah Gilead will reimburse all the copay. I guess so they can charge insurance/government an insane amount. Which is passed along to us anyways...

I think it was like $2000 out of pocket for me for 3 month supply. and i have really really good insurance.

Yeah the one dating experience i have had in covid that actually progressed I used that short time frame dosing.

Though in normal times for most PrEP users it would seem impossible to schedule sex in advanced or too frequent to do that.

But still really good research on how effective these drugs are. maybe we'll get more research into short term PeP - though i think that's a different drug combo.

"very challenging" ≠ impossible

It would be very challenging for ne to build an app, for many people on HN, it would be trivial.
Personal thoughts:

In Elixir you have consistent utf-8 binary string usage everywhere, consistently named modules/functions, consistently ordered arguments/return values, and, thanks to the pipe operator, in 3rd party code as well.

And none of that in erlang ;)
There is nothing about the severity of covid that merits shutting down the entire economy.

A full shutdown of the entire economy (i.e. you can't get food or water if you need them) would only be warranted in the case of an existential threat.

> MS wants to take control away from users and owners, so uses such language.

I wanted to clarify this issue in logner detail but obviously outside of enterprise settings (which the owner does not trust the user).

Now, I'm writing to HN here, which really likes its freedoms (and I also want it). But the general pattern nowadays is that people value the consistency over customisability. The success of locked-down iPhone and Android is a great example: sure some users wants to run other software on the device but the simple truth is vast majority of users prefers to trust Apple or Google to do their job properly as their main goal is not to run a computer but rather to do their own business (similar to how a company often contracts its electricity, water, network connectivity, waste management and others).

On a similar vein, the newer versions of Windows will run with the secure boot option enabled (which will ensure that the system is as intended by Microsoft). Again, some people wants the system to be easily modifiable, and in that case there are ways to lower the guardrails to allow you to a certain extent. But the vast majority of users trusts Microsoft to manage the system and let them just do work.

TLDR: Some users view a computer as something to tinker upon but most users see it as a tool to be used.

Yeah you can definitely sell anything to a couple who is trying to get pregnant, especially if you know they've been trying for a few months without success.
Representative government caving to demands when the demands are terrible, like in this case, is not a good thing. In that moment what is needed is enough guts to see the measures through and fend interest groups off. Loss of leadership and movement towards "the customer is king" politics is responsible for a lot of mistakes in the response to this virus.
The difference here is that NPR, like PBS, is publicly funded and with that should be politically neutral.
> on mobile I use GitJournal

Is it good?

On mobile the common case is to launch an app and immediately see/search the notes.

Or type something, close the app and assume notes are synched.

But git pull and git push are not blazing fast operations. And there are no pushes, to get updates from the server immediately.

Git is a good storage, but I doubt it is suitable for notes without intermediate service handing note-specific scenarios.
> For the average consumer, battery life has just been another stat on the spec sheet for years now.

I'm not sure I agree with this. I think if you asked someone whether battery life was a priority, they might say no. And if you asked them to rank tech specs I'm not sure it would necessarily be that high either. But the experience of using a laptop with a noticeably better battery is, for me, quite likely to be one of those things that you didn't know you were missing, even if you just charge it every now and then.
> In 3 years in the US you earn significantly more than in 5 years in France, so the vacation and health coverage arguments do not hold, unless you have an expensive illness (>30k$ per year).

Care to elaborate? Especially the part about vacation. Do you mean that US developers will retire early than their European counterparts because they are earning more in average and by doing so will enjoy more free time? I'd rather prefer to enjoy my free time when I'm in my 20s and 30s than when I'm in my 40s, 50s, etc.

The part about the health coverage: well, that's the thing, you never know if you'll deal with expensive or rare illness... so the European way of health coverage is worth it.

> Some political ideas are not "we must both give up something to exist together." Some are "My idea is morally right, and by necessity it must conquer yours."

I think I see what you mean, as a general concept, although I think using "conquer" is a poor word choice. The word "conquer" tends to imply force.

There are many tensions between ideas in law, life, and philosophy that are resolved by economics, thinking, compromise, persuasion, voting, organizing, and group behavior rather than force.
I hate scrolling!!!

Not your fault btw, there were words with spaces appended to end of your image url's which I needed to encode.
I have heard this elsewhere, but when I looked into it, it seems like it’s not that big of a challenge compared to the other difficulties of space. More of just a consideration that has to be part of the design. See: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacecraft_thermal_control

Can anyone give an expert opinion on the difficulty of cooling in space?
Not really the underlying concepts again the VM and OTP stuff are pretty neat, but the fact that it's fairly esoteric when it comes to writing it imo. That may be a shallow opinion but it did keep me away from the language in a way Elixir did not, time is money and I believe Elixir is far easier to write and maintain and as such is quicker to work in with the right tools to boot.
The problem is not that that's what it is "exclusively used for". The problem is that AWS asked them to moderate/remove content inciting/planning rape, torture and assassination of named public officials and others and Parler refused to do so.

The author's argument only relies on people being more likely to getting tested for Covid-19 than for the flu, not on them always testing, so your anecdote does not work as a refutation.
Perhaps a little pedantic, but I don't think this is technically correct, since Stallman and the GPL wouldn't really apply here for server-side code, since it doesn't seem like the client-side application code is being questioned regarding trust, but rather the intermediary code on Signal's own servers. In that case, Affero GPL would be the answer. And that license was first published in 2007, which is something like 18 years after the initial GPL release.

I don't think that actually detracts from gist of your point, but just wanted to point it out in case anyone was interested.
Think of it in terms of a print server. It's a long-running process that other processes connect to, in order to request a service. It handles the "impedance mismatch" between the clients and the hardware it controls---in the case of a print server, it demultiplexes requests and translates them into something the printer can deal with; in the case of X, it displays the information as requested by the client and provides notifications of events as requested by the client.

IIRC that was Snowden’s claim too and he worked on it (I don’t have an exact text quote since this is from the Citizenfour doc), and the claim is that the data can be requested as long as the individual is suspected, which can be for something as frivolous as a ML look-alike match on traffic patterns.

Also the key piece of the reporting was on the abuse of the Patriot’s act. Without Greenwald and Snowden the New York Times wouldn’t even touch the topic.
Back in the Web 2.0 days, I started a "users' union" at the then largest German social network StudiVZ. It was only half-joking, and to my surprise quickly attracted the attention of the network's founders, who reacted in the best possible way, trying to utilise it as a feedback channel for the product.

Ultimately, this fizzled out (just like StudiVZ after its acquisition and subsequent demise vs Facebook), but I still believe there is merit to the idea.

We considered that option but didn't like it. It still wasn't fast enough, and placed onerous (or at least annoying) dependencies on future employees.
IKEv2 can be configured securely, but by someone that that is familiar with that particular minefield. Both on Windows and MacOS the GUIs configure weaker security by default (the cynic may wonder why!).

On MacOS you can use Apple Configurator /Apple Profile Manager and on Windows Powershell, to configure stronger security.

The nice thing with WireGuard is it’s either secure or it’s off.

As you say, it’s easy to misconfigure IPSec and the number of experts gets smaller day by day.
There's another assumption you can add - that some people are more susceptible than others.

A good portion of hospitalizations and deaths have been the elderly via nursing homes. If those have become safer, it'd make sense that we can have more cases without heavily increasing hospitalizations
Looks great! I've tried it out with a bunch of recipes and liked the cleaner layout of information. Using chrome-extensions to augment the web experience based on metadata like this is definitely an underrated capability.
Thank you. I honestly believe that there is a non-trivial percentage of the population that _likes_ the COVID world and wants to keep it going as long as possible. Some may like working remotely, others may like the wider acceptance of meal and grocery delivery, others may prefer the reduction in greenhouse gases. That is the only way I can rationalize the insistence of lockdowns here on HN and elsewhere.

Either that or COVID is another social issue that is being exploited by nefarious actors to divide western nations.

Or both.

Learning the concepts and ideas behind lisp really expanded my horizons as a programmer. For me, that all started with emacs. Though elisp isn't very fast and has some pain points, emacs as a whole gave me an extremely established customizable code base that I could play around and learn in.

Though it's cliché and often listed as a negative, emacs really gives the user more than just a program to edit text.
I don't think so. If they had to offer support for these services that they provide now, people would have to pay for it. At this point so many people have been using free email, photos storage etc.. that I can't imagine many people would want to pay for it.
If you don't want to trust anyone but to verify instead, consider running Matrix with your own server. In this case you still can talk to anyone else on Matrix, because it' federated.
> But I think people often don't get how much a political idea can be subjugation more than compromise.

Based on your comment so far, I will say that I don't get what you are trying to say.

Do you mean this: those who define the terms of a debate shape how it is perceived, what options are considered, and (to some degree) how it is evaluated?
Not in the benchmarks I've seen.
A point not many people are raising is its winter in the northern hemisphere, so naturally the R0 will increase. Why this new strain is so prevalent? My personal opinion is since schools opened up they have acted as the main vector. Going undetected for an extended period, I read children are 'being hit the hardest' ie their is a lot more asymptomatic children. The latter point is just conjecture but the note on winter I do think has merit.

Overtime the virus will be less deadly to all age groups and likely become another common cold virus. I read a article in hn the other day talking about how all cold virus might have started as pandemics.

Based in history pandemics last 18 months. Two winters and one summer. But that is during natural spread rather than nation wide lockdown.

While I'm ranting, I believe masks were always a vector to get people the smallest viral dose. Have you seen anyone with a mask, they touch it every few seconds and even reuse it. I remember back 12months ago I was panning on wearing different clothes inside from outside, having a buffer area in my house and having a mask cycle were they spend 3 days in the suns UV.

I don't think the virus will get as much news, a important catalyst is when their is government mandate of the pcr cycle number. If they reduce it they can stimulate low infection numbers.

In my personal opinion mass testing was the biggest mistake, after it hit large community spread they should have only tested in hospitals for research purposes and held all data at a national security level for 10 years.

People are just not mentally able to deal with such situation, look at social media for an example their is so much pure rage in the world. Even in my county NZ the anger on social media is shocking. Its the same logic that you should not tell people about aliens (in movies) because people as a group can not take the stress.

We on HN are a bad sample, we are probably more likely to be logical. Where most people would have strong emotions.

I read this title as "Ireland events" as social unrest. I know this is not the subject, but its equally vaild, given what we have witnessed over the last year.

Yes, but I have 1 gbit uplink and upload speads are 3 megabytes per second at best. Actually, I tried via rclone from VPSs at various locations also and no change. Frankly, that's shit. I've been paying the 2€/month 100GB storage plan simply because the OneDrive Android app does its job of offloading photos quickly well but that's really it's good for. That, and uploading 100K-1M Office documents.

As soon as I noticed this issue, the deal of 1TB storage with a O365 subscription also went sour. 1TB I can't really use -- no deal.

This problem is well known; it's all over the internet -- OneDrive is a sloth. It doesn't affect downloads, btw.
