It's not in this version. I'm 50/50 on whether it will ever be enabled. If it's not enabled in iOS 15 around September then I'll raise my probability it will never be enabled to 90%. What incentive does Apple have for enabling it? 4 years ago when other browsers got it it was important. Now, with WebGPU 6-12 months from shipping there isn't much reason for them to ship a bunch of code to Safari that has to be maintained and tested forever.

I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's illness. I hope she has recovered well.

Did the doctor's test for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)? I only learned about that illness recently. Interestingly, there have been multiple, failed attempts to build a vaccine. It is one of the last statistically significant childhood viral illnesses without a vaccine in highly developed nations. I wonder if an mRNA solution can be found after the COVID crisis is over. I sincerely hope so.

This is a funny article but I think falls under flamebait.
Architect comes up with library to make it so even a monkey could handle use case X without fucking it up. Then they go to architect land where they all stay in their ivory tower. Then use case Y comes along but nobody thinks to switch from or extend what the legendary architect gave to the people. Those who try are heretics who have gone full cowpoke. Then when things get bad enough who should come to save the day but the hurdy gurdy architect, probably not the same one as last time.
They can always come up with statistics like 92MW x 5 hours-per-day = 460MWh/day x 365 days = 167,900MWh = 167GWh/year. You can see marketing claim of 167GWh yearly capacity coming online for last year!
The not paycheck to paycheck people I know, myself included, charge everything they can and put the credit card on auto pay for full balance. So in my case at least, your $300 is more like $10,000 monthly. I’d be pretty mad if something happened and I owed $100+ of interest but like you said, not as mad as having the late payment show up on my credit history

Should mention I make ~$300 a month in cash back by doing this and that’s my main motivation. I actually hate the idea of cash back as I realize it just adds cost to the system but I’m just one dude and the world has spoken on the matter so I may as well get what I can out of it.
I don't really agree. The more crap they add the more I will want to leave. This payment stuff will lead to new types of (WhatsApp takeover scams are already rampant here). PayPal is good enough for this and fairly trusted, I don't want to give everyone all my details.

Consider ICQ that was really well loved until they bloated it with unnecessary crap. Same with MSN messenger. I think this will happen here too.

In the micro, it certainly isn't. I mean, at least in the context of HN or the workplace.

In the macro, it's relevant to issues of school/workplace speech in the sense that it's good to remember that major religions are awfully large tents and represent a wide plurality of beliefs. Christianity is not necessarily synonymous with any particular belief regarding gender, etc. The same could be said of other major world religions.

I'm an atheist and therefore don't have a horse in this race. But it's one reason why merely identifying as belonging to a religion is fine in the workplace, whereas espousing specific religious beliefs that disparage others is a problem.
I had a coworker with ADHD and I'm pretty sure he was prescribed stimulants although he was discreet about it. His patterns of focus were idiosyncratic, and occasionally he wrote code that just oozed "hopped up on addy" stylistically — particularly spurious and superfluous abstractions.

Kinda depends on what you do and say as a conservative I guess. I agree that in liberal circles there is a bias against conservatives, but that's also because many conservative views are intolerant.

Expressing "I'm a conservative" should be fine, but saying "I think homosexuality is gross. Oh by the way I'm conservative" is not. Unfortunately, the "conservatives" are often associated with the latter.

I also think it's ok to be intolerant of intolerance, and not all views should be equally freely expressed. Taking a more extreme example (and definitely not saying OP or all conservatives are like this), but I'm ok with a klan member feeling his only means of survival at a work place is to keep his mouth shut about his beliefs.
Ah yes, the "Stop wasting your time demanding your freedoms and tell me exactly what will finally convince you to bow down to me" defense.
> • Money is overrated. Truly new things rarely need an abundance of money. If that was so, billionaires would have a monopoly on inventing new things, and they don’t. Instead almost all breakthroughs are made by those who lack money, because they are forced to rely on their passion, persistence and ingenuity to figure out new ways. Being poor is an advantage in innovation.

Uh, no. Being poor is a huge waste of time and energy.

I also wonder about this. They say that children who grow up on farms have stronger immune systems because they are exposed to the natural environment more. Weirdly, they also have low incidence of food allergies.

Do children who attend daycare eventually develop a much stronger immune system? (No idea how this could be scientifically measured.) I also wonder about doctor's who work in the emergency room. How are they not constantly sick with some kind of common cold / flu / bronchitis? They must have the immune system of a super hero.

Honest question - does that really make you finish up prototyping faster than having SOME level of organization? Unless I’m coding something so quick that I’ll be done in the same couple of hours, I feel like at least having some sensible names for things, some comments here and there (in particular TODOs), etc helps think (and prototype) much faster.

The work Tyler cites demonstrates that inequality in the US is almost entirely a function of real estate. Let that sink in. This implies that the vast majority of inequality comes from owning land.

Big Tech companies are not a real estate business. To believe that they are indicates extreme confusion about what a company like Netflix does. To shoehorn them into culpability for rent seeking in the housing market is to substantially miss the point.
[Author of Dgraph] Do try it out. I don't consider Dgraph to be a "NoSQL" DB. Typical NoSQL DBs are document DBs. Dgraph is unique in that it is able to use graph to deconstruct a JSON document, and re-construct it at query time. Your document could be anything you'd want at query time -- and that's really powerful. So, give it a shot.
That's pretty much what the author has to say

> Resource Versioning (URI-based)

> Versioning specific resources by theirselves.

> In the same example of /api/v1/companies and /api/v1/users, if companies changed substantially then maybe a /api/v2/companies is created, but /api/v1/users remains untouched. This makes upgrades easier for clients as they know where to focus their attention. If there is no v2 for users, they just keep on using the v1.

> One problem with this approach is it looks nearly identical to global versioning on the outside, and isn’t.

Affordable housing isn't a US centric problem, I think that it is fair to say that it is still a big concern for many families across the world. If you look at what % people are paying for housing vs. other stuff, I imagine a pretty clear trend over the last 50-80 years would start to show.

If they're making a nuisance of themselves at school, the school would presumably give them a detention, with repeat offences eventually resulting in expulsion. If they're making a nuisance of themselves elsewhere, the school is not involved. (Note that the latter applies to criminal actions as well; that's what the police are for.)

Oxygen depletion doesn't seem to be the issue though, CO2 toxicity does.

At 1400ppm CO2, we've turned what, 1000ppm O2 into CO2 (is it 1-1?), or 1% of the atmosphere. Dropping O2 from (Edit: Fixed numbers) 21% to 20%. Or about a 5% reduction in O2 density. Equivalent to approximately 1500 feet of elevation... That's just not that much.

(There's also a long list of papers showing issues with CO2 toxicity at low levels of CO2... I keep intending to write a blog post summarizing them)
Developers are stakeholders to, ESPECIALLY the author. Writing clean code gives me aesthetic pleasure so that is reason enough for me to do so.
Which is why it should all be avoided in the workplace. This is not a debate about the merits of gay or straight sexual orientation.

My coworkers have no need to know if I am in a relationship, have children, etc. If they ask I will (and do) tell them I am not interested in having that conversation and I will never ask them or engage further if they bring their partner/spouse/children up.

Still seems crazy to have the whole site in a single PHP file, though. A dozen files (or even a few dozens) might have been saner. But then again, in that case we wouldn't be talking about the site...

I don't think they're any more difficult than SQL really. In fact, with Dgraph we can avoid scans, where SQL has to scan for most of the queries.

In fact, we're aiming to work on query optimization in depth starting mid-May. So, perhaps in a few months, this would be a topic worth writing a blog post about.

This is why I think the SUV PHEV is the perfect vehicle for the US market. And the market has shown this, demand for the RAV4 Prime is so great they can't make them fast enough and it's going for over MSRP. The car manufacturers are slowly noticing this (Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Ford, Audi, BMW have PHEV SUVs) but they need to push PHEV across all the models.

And you'd be completely fine with being passed over for a job because there is a quota for pink people and you're not pink? One can object to bad solutions to a problem without denying the problem itself exists. It's exactly the stifling of these types of discussions to real problems that's the issue. Any suggestion of alternatives or pointing out problems with existing practices, and you get labeled a bigot.
Personally I use Roku because it's the snappiest experience with the fewest crashes. I started with a Chromecast but its integration with Android was a little too deep: leaving wifi while casting YouTube would cause the YouTube app to hard lock into a "connecting to chromecast" error that persisted even after force-stopping the YouTube app. The second time I had to restart my phone because of that I chucked the Chromecast in the trash.

Fire Stick is a joke. The wifi reception is terrible, the entire UI is laggier than my old cable box, and the apps crash on launch more often than not.

Roku just works, and it works like something that was designed by professional adults and not blood-sucking marketeers eager to screw over their users to make an extra ten cents.
> I also really can't hear the difference between a mastered 96khz 24 bit raw audio file, FLAC, or ~300ABR Mp3

An MP3 file at around 300kbps should be pretty much indistinguishable from FLAC for a human, so that's not surprising at all :)

The reason why I keep my music library as FLAC is not because it sounds better - it's because it's a perfect lossless copy of the original source that can be encoded to something lossy should a need arise. If I had to make 128kbps Opus files for some mobile use case, I'd rather do that from FLACs than MP3s. It also avoids double lossy compression when using things like A2DP.
> by a lot of conspiracy theorists,

And climate denialists, who generally fall back on their weak intuitions. It'd be overgenerous to compare them to Newtonian physicists failing to grasp Relativity--the former was at least a respectable, experimentally verifiable theory that one could get to with basic calculus and the straight lines our minds draw for us, and not an inaccessible mathematical theory requiring graduate study to grasp that warps your mind just like it warps space time.

A lot of people are like Flat Earthers who won't look through a pair of binoculars to watch a ship disappear over the horizon. It's both right in front of their face and yet beyond their reach; it needs just a smidgen of education, and they'd see it for themselves.

It is this way with climate change denialists. But things are looking up! Monarchs are basically extinct now, the Arctic will be ice-free in summer sooner than expected, and floods in Florida are picking up! Some people are gonna get an education soon!

As I understand Monero is more differential privacy, so that wouldn't fit Signal's objectives. Zcash is hard too because you really have two wallets (shielded and transparent which increases complexity and makes things non-obvious for non-experts, which is against Signal's goals). Both these have issues with transaction times, which was something Signal noted in their choice for MobileCoin.

As to Moxie's involvement in MobileCoin it does make sense that he would push for something that has a fast transaction time. I wish they were more open about what they were doing (AMA got canceled) but I understand they are trying to avoid legal pitfalls (like Telegram did originally). But it is still early so time will tell.
if you can easily get a 5x leverage (20% down) for a property investment due to the current lending environment, then yea, a property is going to return more. But comparing like for like - zero leverage - stocks are always going to be better (and correspondingly riskier).

With what authority will HR eliminate discrimination?

At a minimum, they’d need to stop accepting employee referrals (how can they tell if the referrals biased?) and take over the technical interview process.

Also, what happens when an exec elsewhere in the company discriminates against someone? Will HR have the power to unilaterally fire the exec? The CEO? The chairman of the board? How would they even detect the discrimination?

Sadly, declaring that one division of a company will eliminate discrimination doesn’t work. You need the whole company to pull together, though realistically, that won’t work either.

Society as a whole has to decide to solve the problem. Looping around to the article, one of the political parties passed hundreds of bills to disenfranchise minority voters; arguing that minorities should have basic rights is (in the US, at least) politically controversial.

Charitably, I hope the goal is to force my values on the employees, and silence dissent (no bigoted discussions at work).

It is political to sponsor an organisation attempting to correct for the disincentives women face in technical fields. Some people would prefer not to sponsor that, as they believe women are represented at their natural and correct ratios in tech.
