Economics of scale. my bet is Apple will develop a cluster of M1s and call them M-power-2 to address the 1.5TB RAM workstation market you mentioned. It will be practically an array of M1s (or next gen) together. The way the M1 is used from iPad to iMacs is genius in terms of cost reduction at scale and for an end consumer, who doesnt care who else uses their chip, I get a good $/cpu power bargain.
Tim Apple being the supply-chain guy he is, I see him doubling down and scrambling engineers to user more M1s in array to build a stronger core. Maybe an M1-based server rack for AWS?
> Attackers and defenders have completely different perspectives that sometimes lead to completely different opinions. And I definitely don't care about the consensus opinion of the security community considering that over the past decade the majority of self-described and even employed "security engineers" are neither experienced systems programmers nor experienced system administrators. Prowess with nmap and Wireshark seem to make for "hacker" credentials in this community.

TYVM for this healing missive, but especially the nugget I pull-quoted. That sums up a lot of what I had come to think about "security" as a career: You need to be an engineer first.

For any cryptocurrency experts out there, is there any way the Bitcoin protocol could be altered (or temporarily halted while being updated) without compromising the blockchain so that instead of guessing for some hash/key combination, it could be part of some distributed computing project? Like assisting in the Folding@Home or some other project that benefits humanity in some way? I know hindsight is 20/20, but it represents an immense wasted opportunity and supposedly consumes more electricity than all of Argentina.

oh, that i agree with. i certainly didn't mean that the different unique aspects to each region should go away, but the identities connected to them.

Other than the security of your coins, the problem with crypto IMO is liquidity.

If a bank sees a transaction from a crypto exchange they can freeze your account. Even if it is a good faith transaction where all the funds have documented sources.

The real reason banks hate crypto is because it takes their control away. Banks can create money easily via fractional reserve banking. They also collectively control money supply via the Fed.

They cannot do that with cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, so now they want to extend the power of the "US" (pronounced Fed) dollar to the digital world via "stablecoins" that are pegged to the dollar and have built in fractional reserve support, replicating the dollar system on top of a phony blockchain that offers none of the benefits of a real coin other than making banks powerful and happy. Only then they will embrace crypto, while banning every other crypto.
Convicted Post Office workers have names cleared after cover-up of flawed system
Interesting, because in my experience issue references are always in context (eg. in code comments, or in prose with context explained), so I more often felt that the slug part was outdated/pigeonholed than actually helpful in establishing some extra information.

Would something like the ability to optionally have slugs, but still a single numeric namespace be a good compromise for you?

For example: FOO-123 takes you to the same issue page as BAR-123 (everything before the number is ignored when actually routing the web interface), but when seeing internal references in the tracker, a per-component slug is prepended if configured (eg. the infra component could be configured to always refer to its issues as INFRA-nnn). This would let issues be moved around components while a maintaining a greppable, constant ID, but for users to use slugs if that helps them.
That is like saying the taste of good food is an attack on our reward system. Attention works that way because it is often helpful.

On a normal day advertising is pretty useless. When the world is changing it is a very effective way to find that out. It is part of the system that drives rapid improvement.
Trial-by-peers is not the problem, problem is prosecutorial, police and expert misconduct. Vast majority of wrongful convictions are caused by withholding(or even falsifying) evidence, police forcing out confession from innocent or experts who are either ignorant or deliberately lying. And those who are later caught doing these things are nearly never held accountable and in rare case when they are, it's just a slap on the wrist.
The big difference on Earth is that you have to convince a whole bunch of bad actors to act good, whereas on Mars, the small community can act in unison under one government.

>I believe the consensus model for XRP is "ask some trusted nodes what the state is and believe the majority".

You are wrong on that. Every node locally applies all the rules to all transaction. There is no way a rule can be broken because your node listens to other who broke the rules.
If all your trusted nodes would break the rule your node would simply stop and ask you to connect to proper nodes.

The consensus majority is only needed if there are 2 or more way to make valid (not breaking any rules) forward progress (aka a double spend attempt)
Only in this case nodes side with the majority of their trusted nodes. There is no "wrong way" in this case its arbitrary which side the network goes the only thing that matter is that everyone goes the same way. Which is archives if everyone sided with their surrounding majority.

Its very important to understand that if someone would have the control over which side it goes in such a situation he could do absolutely nothing with this "power" as both ways must be valid in the first place.

The only person who "loses out" is the one who attempts a double spend because he has no way to know which Tx will success and which will fail. But no honest participants cares about that. If you attempt a double sends you voluntary let the network pick one.
And you base it on what?
If I remember it correctly, it's the 4% that were supposed to be the conservative estimate.

Anyone who says the rate is 0.027% is obviously bonkers, given what sample you'd need to specify the result with a 0.0005% error. I don't see how anyone could practically do that.
A great team proves themselves by beating great competition, not bad competition. Anyone can throttle a punching dummy. I don't know why people sit there and pretend like if you put the 12 squads together in their own league that the games would all be evenly matched. That's never the case. It's much more interesting for most people for a game to be close than to watch a blowout with an overmatched opponent.
I thought this was just a way to reduce money laundry. If the church would just receive donations, it gets hard to track where the money is coming from/going to. There's a church in Brazil that flies helicopters out of the temple carrying cash [1]. If you're a drug dealer there's no money laundry scheme better than this.

There should be some consumer protection regulation around using words buy, sell, purchase etc. Can you sell what you bought to someone else? If not, you did not buy it. Do yo have root on your device and all it's components? If not, you did not buy it. And so forth. That might make people a bit more aware on the stuff they think buying.

The more full quote:

> Imagine if scientists kept the result of every scientific study to themselves. The same work would have to be done over and over again as everyone was forced to reinvent the wheel countless times to do anything at all.

Computer scientists do exactly this, as it's possible to publish while withholding your source-code. This is harmful not only in that effort is wasted reimplementing published algorithms, but also in that the reader is deprived of the ability to check the source-code for bugs that might impact the published results.

So my sister does professional photography, and went from a 16GB MacBook Pro(2016) to an 8GB Air, and reports no decrease of productivity - quite the opposite, in her experience all Adobe programs run much faster, and the machine is quieter and lighter to boot. So yeah, I'm not sure - maybe the ram amount isn't as a big deal as people make it out to be. On the other hand I'm a C++ programer and my workstation has 128GB of ram and I wouldn't accept any less.....so obviously it varies.
Can you link a good test result that proves this?

This libertarian tilt is soo yesterday :)

Following the market and money signals alone leads to such amazing "innovations" as bitcoin and crypto -> people betting the next idiot will be left holding the bag and burning tons of energy and hardware while at it. Plus wasting a bunch of engineering hours on pointless endevours.

Or such amazing innovative endevours as Ad optimisation and network tracking.

Sorry but following money alone leads to some pretty pathological scenarios and results in a shitty society. I used to like libertarianism, the "don't touch me if I don't touch you" foundations and the logical framework is neat - but it just doesn't work out in reality - at least it doesn't lead to a world I'd like to live in.

That is the major reason M1 is having such a momentum. I was pretty skeptical that niche x86 FORTRAN R extensions would work on M1. But here we are, Rosetta made it the smoothest ride possible. Now look at Microsoft and their Surface Pro X.
It pretty much does, though. It’s just the syntax is horrible.
As a Venezuelan in Europe this feeling is eerily familiar. Including being the enjoyer of a communist utopia and whose family resisted the fascists of the 50s.

> Incidentally, the argument that the tide is more reliable as it always flows twice a day is a rather moot point, as like wind, the tide doesn't always flow when you want it to.

Producing energy on a completely predicable schedule, while being less useful than at will, is much easier to deal with than producing energy on a modestly predictable but highly variable basis.

But on the general point about funding for tidal energy I agree with you. To make it work we'd need to make bold and highly disruptive changes to the environment, for example the tidal barrier across the Bristol Channel.
To stretch your analogy:

"Part of the reason Apple can get away with doing this is that — and let’s be honest — it’s been selling badly underpowered systems at certain price points."

There is also market share. Being more affordable to more people means more sales. True, Apple has always positioned itself as premium. That will remain. Now it will be a higher value as well.

Any examples of free JS doing that?
Thanks for sharing this. I never read this article of Joel. Must be because I never thought I will end up building a bug tracker of all things!

Very useful pointers there.

1. Make sense, maybe add some CANNED FORMATS for steps to reproduce will make sense.

2. true, but its now a question of FIXED RESTRICTED WORKFLOWS vs FLEXIBLE WORKFLOWS (like trello)...

3. this is already there

4. yes

5. already available

6. we have added in a 'report/respond to bugs via email' feature that lets you email in the report. Couldn't get some of our team members to change their 'emailing bugs' habit

7. yes, agree

8. Absolutely true. There needs to be a PM who does remind them though, otherwise we will have stale bugs at the end of the sprint

9. A thought might be to group a set of bugs into a feature. Maybe that can be a feature of the bug tracker

11. This is our greatest blocker as of now. Every user wants a new field to track.

That is why we have a diversity of wind farms!

Wind turbines scale much more easily than wave/tidal, both the size of the turbines themselves (much larger than a wave/tidal system could ever be) and where they can be located around the UK coast.

A diversity of renewable energy sources is sensible (nuclear, wind, biofuel etc), but wave and tidal are difficult to scale and have failed to deliver.

This analogy makes no sense. You are comparing a product made through coercion and abuse of workers to a product willingly made with tools that you happen to have differing preferences on.

Facebook and Instagram is probably the upper bound on memory-hungry apps. (The average webpage consumes more memory nowadays than gcc -O3.)

This is a poor argument - especially if you include finance.

Finance makes large scale project possible by providing developers access to capital via the bond market.
That's fine if you're buying new. Is there an i5 that beats an older i7 in performance? When buying a used laptop or desktop, how much extra research do I need to do to figure out which processor I'm actually getting? There's been 13 years of i7's.
Def depends on the job too. I was referring to jobs that paid under $20 an hour in 2021 dollars.

Even though I haven’t begun turning my life around until I passed my 20s. Still, my next job will be as a developer. In that case, a lot of the issues won’t be the same. Even though I’ll be a “lowly web dev cog”, I’ll hopefully be paid decently enough, and be either remote or in the high flying New York area, or some other major metro area.

It is a lot easier to swallow a lot of the issues if my salary is above the median and mean average and on pace to be six figures in a few years.

I think I’d like you as a manager, haha. If it is fine, could you email me at the address in my profile? Assuming you manage tech employees, I’d like to ask about a thing or two. No pressure.

Some benchmark sites claim they saw performance reports. Whether they make those up to see more traffic, I cannot tell. If I worked at Apple, I would not tell :)

For example https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-apple_m1x-1898 talks about a 12 Core CPU but with only 16GB RAM.
doesn't mean they will always fail to deliver.
> Producing energy on a completely predicable schedule, while being less useful than at will, is much easier to deal with than producing energy on a modestly predictable but highly variable basis

I agree in theory, but in practice tidal doesn't scale like wind does (both in terns of the size of turbines and where they can be located around the coast).

The predictable but small amount of energy it can produce is of limited use.
Characterizing the company and cogs as flowers as part of a larger ecosystem sounds and feels better. However if the treatment is the same as the cogs. Or worse with the platitudes, then it’s better for the company and higher ups. Worse for the flowers or cogs.
Regardless of whether the accusations about defectors being coerced to make North Korea sound worse are true, honestly this just sounds like an obvious consequence.

If you isolate a country economically by cutting off all legal ways for it to trade with the international community, it will have to rely on illegal ways.

Generalized trade sanctions have time and again proven to be ineffective because they are so indiscriminate. They're meant to work as a deterrent, not a punishment. But the deterrent works with the threat of disrupting the economy, which only works short-term as the existing supply chains come to a halt and businesses panic. If you sit the sanctions out long enough, the economy will have already collapsed and will rebuild itself under the new restrictions. Once the economy has adapted, the sanctions are no longer a deterrent, they're just how things are, and the promise of conditionally lifting the sanctions feels like a trap because it would require changes to the economy that would again make it vulnerable to those sanctions if they were reinstated.
Global warming on Earth is happening - there is no stopping it. Unless you cut the global population in half, their economic development requires CO2 emissions.
Yes that makes the life easier. Tracking is always pain in the a*. This could make a huge difference.

In some jurisdictions you can make a copy (how to do this is another matter) for your own use, i.e. for backup in case the original medium got unplayable. So then the disk, the box and maybe the purchase confirmation acts as an unlimited time license. At least that's how I remember it worked in Poland.

Yes, I do sometimes.
Why? There are so many ways to store them, why is this such a pain? I don't get it but everyone here says so but in meatspace I never hear anyone complain about it.
> Most people plead out because they’re ridiculously guilty.

"Most people" can be as low as 51%, which is not very useful here.
Yes, I hate it too.

It gives the church too much power here in Germany.

The reasoning is often, that the churches are the biggest providers of social and health related charity. They own schools and hospitals etc. pp.

I never understood why they didn't simply nationalize these things if they think it should be paid by taxes.

I have no issue in paying taxes for hospitals and schools, but I don't want that part of that money also pays for some crazy faith.
We are trying hard not to go into the project management tool mode. There are already great tools like Asana, JIRA and others filling this role.

Common sense is an excuse to apply bias when you have nothing else to provide. Likewise the word obvious is fully interchangeable with the word oblivious without changing either the context or substance of a statement.

There are valid reasons for requiring re-approval.

A very good example is that a normal looking first commit gets approved.
In the next commit the PR author exfiltrates GitHub secrets by base64ing them and logging in the workflow run (or any other way).

Boom - now your CI infra AWS S3 testing bucket, Google BigQuery keys etc. are leaked.

Runtime is also easy to work-around - repeatedly push commits with a execution time limit on the CI workflow to avoid triggering outlier detection.

A trusted PR author today doesn't guarantee trust tomorrow.
Also your trust on some other repo doesn't (and shouldn't) transfer across repos.
