I’m very amused by the fact that this hardwares does not have hardware for some specialised operations that competitors do.

From the article, it would seem that compensating via software was fine (performance wise). Apple’s approach seems to be seems to break the norm in fields where the norm has proven to be unnecessary complexity. Which open tip room for just more raw performance.
You might look into talking walks in a local forest preserve if you have one nearby. There's a name for this as it applies to relieving stress, "Forest Bathing" which is based on the Japanese practice of "shinrin-yoku".

I started doing this back in the mid `80s in Los Angeles because I was stressed something awful. I can say it does work for me and I noticed it right away. That was long before I heard about shinrin-yoku.

When I started doing this I would look for a good place with lots of trees and fresh air, a creek or stream was always good, and I'd pack a small day bag with water and some snacks, a beer and a bud, and go meander around. I'd find a secluded spot to sit and relax for a spell and maybe explore some more or just stay put and soak it in. If you sit still for awhile the forest critters start coming out and doing what they do and it can be a pretty relaxing thing to just sit there and do nothing but observe that.

Here's a link to an article about shinrin-yoku. I'm sure there are quite a few articles about it to be found and I just picked one that seemed to fit the bill. Some of them I've read include some reasoning for how and why this works. All I can say is it worked for me and still does: https://www.rei.com/blog/hike/theres-no-running-in-forest-ba...

Wouldn't that API then just give someone else (presumably the intelligence agency) unrestrained access to all phone lines? Someone outside should be responsible for providing access, you can argue Huawei shouldn't have been chosen but I find it hard to blame them for doing their job.
Thankfully I don’t have trouble sleeping. I can’t imagine how miserable I’d be otherwise.
K (as well as X and V) is supposed to be a fractal, so the pattern isn't just arbitrary. X and V are too dense in my opinion and could use a lower branching factor, maybe base 2 for consistency. K is better in this regard, but they didn't recurse correctly which makes it less satisfying.
While I dont think it will be a non-issue I suspect it will not be that bad, especially for countries with money. There can be better infrastructure build over the medium term, population growth is reducing and politically there seems like immigration reduction. Also countries that haven't in the past like my home of Australia can make big improvements in managing water from those that needed to earlier, half flush toilets, grey water tanks etc. The other big one is agriculture where better market pricing of water can create better allocation and farm location in that way. But maybe with cheap solar we'll see more atmospheric extraction or other modern tech solutions.

Definitely dont think its a non-issue but in the scheme of things if feels well within solvable bounds for wealth human innovation.

I suspect the biggest issue will be cross boarder water rights where one country is holding/using water before it reaches the next. Good luck with this one....

That's exactly the point the pamphlet I linked to makes. C was far from the state of the art when it was invented, it's only major redeeming quality was that it worked on the shit low-end computers that were available to the inventors back then.

The tragedy wasn't that C was invented, it was fit for purpose then. The tragedy was that as HW evolved beyond the PDP-11 level, unix programming remained stuck at C.
Right but checking credentials was okay and I assume their credentials had their name (or gathering their names was surely okay).

Shouldn't it be accompanied by aid to cover the cost of more expensive energy sources? Otherwise this is just wealthy countries asking poor countries to take a hit to their development uncompensated, which is going to have a body count as well.
The police have been emboldened in their fascist tendencies, I'm trying to remember now, yes I'm quite sure of it -- it was the president immediately preceding the one now in office. He made it cool to be racist and violent, now the trickle-down effect is happening in the middle classes. Just in case you were wondering. He was in favor of violence against the press his whole time in office.

I believe the big difference is that the Carbon printers use a special bottom plate that lets air molecules passing through. That's why they can use chemical reactions to create better material properties.
This also means the print doesn't stick to the bottom plate and they can print faster.
It isn't just about prioritizing the latter. For india, Money spent on improving the economy or alleviating poverty goes a lot farther than spending on carbon neutral energy.

For a rich western nation like germany? Not a lot of low hanging opportunities so might as well spend on green energy.
Correct, but that depends on the judge obeying the law, which he isn’t. He’s denying or delaying every request while forcing discovery in the intervening time to force the victims to settle.

Until trolls have to put up non-trivial bond to cover discovery costs there is no reason for them to stop, and petty corrupt judges like this will continue to profiteer from it

Thanks - I actually missed that you have a small video on your homepage :) (I was on mobile before so maybe that's why!)

At the moment to do a quote we have an excel document, which is basically a project plan which runs by week and we put the hours into each cell in the appropriate week (and on each row, specify the consultant). The output we get is a project plan which goes in our proposal document, and a fixed price which goes in there too.

Then we take the final number of hours estimated and input it into our accounting program which generates an invoice and tracks it through the lifecycle (with all the weird payment terms you get!). When we meet project hurdles we have an admin assistant which will then invoice on milestones.

Almost all our work is fixed price, but if we do need T&M we use Clockify to track time for free.

What would be the workflow with PriceTable? Can I replace the excel document or would I still need that to work out the overall hours requirement?

I had a similar thought. It's amazing what you can do with machine learning, but this example shows that you can't just throw machine learning at a problem and expect good results.

And it shows that, at least for now, machine learning isn't going to make humans obsolete.

Water efficiency is one of those things like power efficiency in that it hs come quite a long way and can probably still go further. Some places actually are too efficient with water; sewer systems are often designed to work assuming some sort of minimum flow, and the spread of low flow appliances has started to cause these systems to block up from lack of flow.
No, they shouldn't. Piling on claims is a well-known bad-faith argument tactic called the Gish gallop[1]. The poster has provided no source, and it would take hours just to verify all the claims, before even getting to whether or not they were material. It works precisely because it's much easier to make claims than refute them.

- Lambda event passed to your lambda_handler is just a big json, get it and copy it somewhere, and then you can test your code locally. ( lambda_handler(your_event, None) )
- If there are some things you cannot do locally, use some flags to handle them. (You may use: MessageGroupId from the lambda event for example)
- Prepare a deploy script and use it. (aws lambda update-function-code ...)
The import tariffs could be used to fund developing clean energy infrastructure in said countries, so no it isn't necessarily a colonialist policy. I could see the EU doing something like that, not so much the US though.

> However, it feels a kin to rewriting history to depict C as a subpar language that was poorly designed and had little to no redeeming qualities, when facts speak for themselves.

It was subpar compared to the state of the art then. It's redeeming quality was that it worked on the PDP-11, whereas the better languages required mainframe level resources. The tragedy isn't that C was invented, it fitted it's niche back then. The tragedy is that as HW evolved the world remained stuck with C rather than switching to better languages.
Also, the other side in this instance is journalists.
> Apple are doing it out of rather sickening lock-in culture in the company and Metal is far from the only example like that.

I don’t disagree, but what else they could possibly do?

Metal shipped in 2014 for iOS, in 2015 for OSX. Vulkan 1.0 was released in 2016.

I don’t think it was reasonable to postpone long overdue next gen GPU API for a few years, waiting for some consortium (outside of their control) to come up with API specs. By the time Vulkan 1.0 has released, people were using Metal for couple years already.

I don't think "colonialist" is the right word to use here and it carries unnecessary connotations. All developing (or developed...) countries need to do to not be subject to import tariffs is joining the carbon price club.

Of course I support giving away green technology, because I think reducing carbon emissions has much higher priority than making profits.
It is great for her future, however back in Portugal if you take the technical high school path, you are expected to be a good developer by 18, when done with high school as alternative path to university.

During my time it meant:

- Knowledge of BASIC (GW, Turbo and Quick), Turbo Pascal, Turbo C, Turbo C++, 80x86 Assembly, dBase III Plus and Clipper

- Databases and their data organization on harddisk

- Digital circuits

- OS design, with experience on MS-DOS/Netware and Xenix

- 3 months trainship at the end of the degree into a local company

- All the remaining stuff on traditional high schol like physics, math, geometry and whatever else.

Certainly not, but the tools are there for anyone that wants to have a go at it.
I mean, for all the attempts to mock them, they are law enforcement officers. They do have legal rights of ones, they do have power and they have different set of laws that applies to them. They are not in costumes, those are really uniforms and they are really real cops.

It just so happens that real cops are real people. And real people don't create pristine pure organizations straight from Hollywood movie. So what happens when the organization gets too much benefit of doubt and too little accountability is descent toward abusing power more and more.
Scott Bezek has a great video on "How a Split Flap Display Works" [0].

He also sells blank "flaps" on Tindie [1].

The documentation on how to build the Split Flap is also really awesome [2], including how to cut your own flaps [3].

I've been following this project for a while. It's pretty awesome. I estimate about $10 per character (as opposed to the $180/character (!!) another poster mentioned through Alibaba), with a large portion of the cost being the custom cut "flaps" (in small quantities). It seems like the cost could get in the $2-$4 range per character but I couldn't figure out how to do it without a significant amount of labor involved in cutting the flaps.

FYI, there's also a company called Oat Foundry that sells large split-flap displays [4]. I seem to remember the cost being in the $10k+ region but I don't see a price and I could be way off base.

Oh, interesting, I see Vestaboard also has a (smaller) one for around $3k [5].

Your argument is equivalent to criticizing ARM for putting in instructions to optimize Javascript into their architecture, as if that "sabotages" every other programming language. Or Intel for putting in instructions to optimize AES into their architecture, as if that "sabotages" Salsa20.

It doesn't make any sense. Of course Apple optimizes Metal for their GPUs and their GPUs for Metal. None of that is hostile towards other APIs. All of this hardware is Turing-complete and by definition can implement any conceivable graphics API. The only question is how well it performs with those APIs, and until we have benchmark numbers, your argument is based on assumptions lacking any evidence.
With 400 emails per day the last thing I'd want to do is add another time-waster on approving a meeting and collecting feedback on it, meeting minutes are sufficient.

I far prefer to let people self-organise and foster that culture plus weekly or bi-weekly 1-1s. Nothing is anonymous in an organisation.. you can recognise people by terms, grammar. Then.. having people do a survey on a meeting, every meeting?, is squaring the problem so.. a 1 hour meeting of 10 people, 10 hours, results in 2 minutes feedback time per person, 20 additional minutes, plus associated time to rant about someone else i.e. one's self, and then to deal with that passive-aggressive rant rather than sticking this emotional response into the 1-1 when someone's had time to reflect.

Madness.
That is not an argument at all. You can call it rioting if the journalists actually riot, or even incite. You’d have to be specific and show that these particular journalists were guilty of it, otherwise you’re just punishing random people for things they haven’t done. Also, you cannot punish someone for doing something legal.

Otherwise, the fact that their business model depends on things happening is immaterial. It’s like calling doctors mass murderers because they benefit from people getting sick.
Sure, aid them as much as possible, but I don't really see how for example a carbon tax + carbon dividend scheme is terribly bad for a developing economy.
> Right now all of the incentives for that company are to gain the trust of customers during these early stages when everyone is looking for a reason to throw up protectionist barriers.

What makes you think these are "early stages"? AFAIK many telcos already use Huawei 4G equipment, though I can't find actual numbers for that. I'd say Huawei/China is already well positioned to abuse any backdoor access they have. The move to 5G could only expand this.

KPN is obviously in the wrong here since they can't prove whether there was unauthorized access or not, and speculation articles like this don't help. In any case, it doesn't seem like a good idea to give untethered access to a company accused of IP theft time and time again[1]. Whether all those are PR smear campaigns or there's a real cause for concern is difficult to judge as an outsider, but given China's track record, I'm inclined to believe there's some truth in them.

I have the exact opposite experience/ problem. Whenever I'm asked to review, there s an artificially short deadline involved (typically a couple of weeks).

> iOS apps should be FairPlay encrypted AIUI, and presumably that goes through the SEP to only authorize decryption when booted in secure mode.

Wow is it really possible that iOS apps are encrypted with a private key that is stored within all SEP devices and it hasn’t been cracked yet? If so that’s incredible and would explain why a workaround for using iOS apps with SIP disabled hasn’t been released. Of course I shouldn’t be that surprised since 4K DRM media content would rely on the same property.

Edit: I looked into this and it turns out that each device has its own public key and the server encrypts the app/content with a key derivable from the device public key on-the-fly at download time. This is a simplified explanation but the essential implication is that there is no global private iOS app package key.

> Besides, I think most of this stuff goes through OS-controlled IOMMUs to access memory anyway, so it can't do much harm to the main OS.

Great point. If these other onboard devices have unfettered access to the memory bus and/or can trigger some sort of NMI then you can never really trust these devices. Though as you point out, most contemporary x86 PCs are no different in that regard.
Water is a highly local resource.

The US as a whole has plenty of water, forever -- you could divert 10% of the Mississippi to the West and solve the water crisis. But you can't, because there's a mountain range in the way. Pumping and canals are VERY expensive.

Canada is even further away.
Let me answer many questions targetting India here:
1. Why spend money on defence:
Ans: we have 'peaceful' neighbours like Pakistan and China.
2. Why coal plants when trying to reduce global emissions:
Ans: the west was built on using fossil fuels. All your manufacturing is being outsourced here. You want your products to be built here and therefore we need electricity to produce it. You are not giving us money to build nuclear power plants, only agreements and threats after doing most of the damage to the environment yourselves.
