I don't think it takes a ton, they were probably overcompensating.
Thank God for living in China. We are expert at doing it ourselves with just an email with a blueprint :D
Exactly, I always wonder how much Safari is faster than competing browsers. I have dozens of open tabs and it just works. With other browsers, I cannot even work after a certain number of tabs.
Apple's new privacy changes: good for users or the company?
Yeah, that's crazy too. Maybe I have rose colored lenses because I did my advanced open water through my university and we did tons of dives to the same spot with I guess more academically focused exams and whatnot.

Still, that was circa 1997 so, um, I forgot pretty much all the detail :).

> granddaddy of OOP languages: Java.

Nowhere near. There was a lot of OOP hype in the early 90s with Smalltalk and C++, so Java just went all-in (everything is in a class) on that trend of the times.
What stops anyone from implementing ARM ISA on FPGA? If you think of an ISA like an API - that's something that is not copyrightable, so in theory anyone could do ARM on FPGA.
So I am guessing that nobody wants to bear the cost of such development and also risking potential lawsuit?
Silk solves a different set of problems. Silk offloads expensive things like page layout or rasterization to the server, and for a static page you could theoretically cache those too.

Mighty is streaming a browser instance, wholesale, as a video stream. It's very very different both in philosophy and actual implementation.
That's a nice tech. I'd rather have yr basic optimal hemieggoid tho. Too Rococo.

That looks like good substrate for some kind of fat polymer coating.

How does it stand up to the wet?
Drupal had this for quite a long time (since Drupal 5 through 8 IIRC), but there was a proposal to remove it.
It’s hard for me to see that as a problem. What problem is that causing for you, or anybody else?
dude ur the man
One problem is that many economists will look at the resulting price inflation and treat as money supply inflation, and call on less government spending and tighter lending when really we need time and serious covid treatments for the logistics to settle down.
Well I love my Apple App Store. It protects me for certain things with payments, and it’s another line of defense against some attacks.
Israel probing link between Pfizer shot and heart problem in men under 30
This is a false dichotomy to propose. My claim is that the police - notorious domestic abusers, rights violators - are failing to collect evidence from women coming forward with rape allegations. Given the time-sensitive and trauma-riddled nature of such things, it is not a simple topic, so even without attributing malice, it is clear police are undertrained (here and elsewhere).

I wrote a bunch more and gathered some links, but Hacker News is telling me to slow down. 6 comments on this thread since 2pm, wow such spam
>As you fall from the event horizon to the singularity, you see the entire future of the universe unfold since all arrows of time now point toward the singularity so as you move along it, you are moving in time.

This would suggest that as I see the entire future of the universe as I fall towards the event horizon I also see the entire future of the horizon itself... which means that I will never cross the horizon because it will at some point far in the future no longer exist.

i.e. there is no spacetime path which ever crosses the event horizon

I'm near the point where I'm going to have to learn some black hole math to convince myself otherwise. (I think I'm wrong but can't see why)
This level of semantics is indeed pointless - to clarify, your comment supports both what you wrote and Google's use of the "unable" wording in their response; they are unable to reinstate your account <without introducing liability to lawsuits regarding unfair business practices> <and except in exceptional circumstances>.
No, I'm fairly certain I refuted it.

The parent comment is incorrectly stating that each request to Apple is checking a binary, and it's not. This has been well documented both here on HN and across the web.
I've had open tab sync across all my devices (including my phone and tablet) for like a decade now. Both Firefox and Chrome offer it.

Maintaining state across sessions by storing your whole browser on a server somewhere is a cute solution, until you need to access that server while traveling and now your ping to it is 300ms instead of 30.
You are suggesting that draconian actions against drugs, homelessness and crime are causes for people associating with their own class and prejudicing other classes. I suspect it's the other way around; we are prejudiced to favor our own kind across many metrics and the consequence of that prejudice is homelessness, crime, poverty etc...

I say this because the kind of prejudice you point out is rampant across all societies, not just America and if anything, America handles it a lot better than any other society.
Farmers prefer irrigation to rain, it’s controllable. And in the west water is not only free but use it or lose it because of idiotic prior appropriation rules.
How are you making that estimate?
The last I read Apple plans to add or expand one more ad slot on the App Store. Is there a bigger ads initiative?
...thus explaining why food is consistently 20+% more expensive in Hawaii than in California, despite year-round growing conditions.

The only goat dairy on the Big Island imports all their feed from continental US. Apparently local forage would make the milk taste "off". Nobody grows hay in Hawaii, probably because there is no dry (enough) season to dry it in, and (maybe?) nobody has thought of trucking it to the dry side. Or something. Agriculture is always harder that it seems like it ought to be. Cheap shipping forgives a lot.
I think they were humorously asking what "LCL" means in this context.
Does LevelDB/RocksDB still randomly corrupt your data?
Well, the problem is that they aren't monopolies. They may be problematic but we don't have laws or regulations to deal with this specific situation. And when we call it a "monopoly" because that seems to be the closest thing then the defenders of these organizations can say "but it's not a monopoly!" and they are right.

So if you think it is problematic to have two players in a market even when they are on equal footing then you need to promote legislation to make that illegal. Or if you think there's something specifically harmful about this pair of dominant players then those externalities need to be addressed through legislation.

But shouting "monopoly" is, at this point, counter-productive IMHO.
Can you become a firmware engineer(embedded software engineer) through bootcamp?
Hey everyone
I'm trying to find a bootcamp for software developer and i stubbled on to firmware engineer. I got very interested in that topic. I heard that firmware need to know both software and hardware so I was wondering can you still be able to become a firmware engineer without a college degree but by going through a boot camp. If Yes does any one have some good boot camps that they can say postive thing about. Thank you every one!

What spend money on real ram. We can use the hard drive as free memory.

At 12 I learned a lessons about that thrashing.
Yep it neatly organizes everything with subscriptions and vetted apps into a single location. Can't ask for more. The only people that want out of it is people who want a bigger rev cut, to bypass app store rules and infect devices.
I’m entirely onboard with aesthetics based positivity. There’s nothing wrong thinking Twinkies are the best things since sliced bread.

And that’s perfectly valid insofar as nutritional content is not a consideration. Insofar as a person has plenty of access to fresh fruit and vegetables.

Not everyone is so far up Madlow’s pyramid. Their needs are also legitimate. My comment is a response to the scolding of people who consider them in their judgment of the project’s merit.
That private parties hold funds of this magnitude but can't imagine what to do with it, while the country languishes without railroads and housing, indicates to me that taxation might be a little low.
privilege is a misnomer when its really freedom from some distractions

nobody is going to call the police on you for simply walking in a neighborhood

nextdoor and facebook groups arent going to have messages from vigilant bored housewives just because you walked down the street

sundown towns and the ideas that reinforce them don't exist for you

but saying “privilege” suggests other things are handed to you that wouldn't necessarily be true
The "policy" is indeed the law, in the form of a contract - you or Google breaking that contract could mean you end up in a civil lawsuit that would cost you tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars assuming it isn't frivolous. Instead of actually taking everyone to court and scaring off developers, they simply give themselves the option to terminate the contract if you break it instead of going to court.

The thing is that they can't bend the policy for certain players without being sued for unfair business practices/anti-competitive behavior, which is why Google has to enforce it on everyone if they want to enforce it on anyone.
It appears that it wasn't the cost per se, but the colossal desire of the Chinese companies, with the help of Chinese government, to get Apple's business. This let Apple meet pretty crazy deadlines: https://www.businessinsider.com/steve-jobs-new-iphone-screen...

Maybe a price that would allow such speed in an American company exists, but likely it's sky-high.
Aren't VDA's cheaper?
Thank you so much for sharing this. I've not yet finished a decade in the industry, nor ever laid an eye on Elixir before, and this made sense pretty quickly. Great job explaining it all!

On a side note, its pretty amazing to see the impact on readability and understanding that native language features have on something like async. I've worked with similar systems to the example in the past in JS/Go/etc, and while you can definitely do the same stuff presented here, it tends to be a far messier callback-hell ime. For lack of better explanation, this Elixir code just "flows" better to my eye, which I know is a completely subjective and non-helpful unsolicited piece of info. Thanks again.
asm.js is JavaScript, specifically a subset of it that can be consistently optimized. So if your point is "JavaScript is slow", using JavaScript as your point of comparison is a bad way to prove it.
Thanks for your responses :)
Someone, or rather, many someones, have figured it out.

The reply from @dnh44 is perfectly on point.

It sounds like a terrible situation with an easy solution (a utilitarian email to the first company advising you're not taking their offer).

This part is bizarre:

> Oh, and they want a 30% dividend paid quarterly.

That's a very weird request from an angel investor.
Only open source is allowed there.
That doesn't remove untracked files. You need to do the memorable "git clean -fd" to get rid of those. This is my point: two commands for what should be doable in one simple command.
Apparently him and Todd Howard are on good terms and chat every so often. Would be so great to have him back for ES6
> I feel like things have felt pretty good in the PC world since NVMe SSDs and approximately Sandy Bridge.

Agree, and I would add that devs on some platforms have not been as thorough about using (or abusing?) all that new power. I've been able to continue use a Sandy Bridge laptop from 2011 - it'll turn 10 years old in a couple of months - because most apps on Linux still have so little complexity that you could run them on a computer from 2006. Electron-based stuff is not the norm. Adding an SSD a few years ago has been my only significant hardware upgrade.

Meanwhile, Macbook Pros that came out two years after my laptop was built can't even be updated to the latest version of macOS, before you even get to the issue of software jank.
You are paying way too much for your manure.
At no point do I blame the victim. I really want to know where you come off thinking I'm blaming the victim. Get off your emotional ego trip. I blame this rabid social media society that makes a victim imagine they are completely helpless. You make victims feel more helpless by saying there's no one out there willing to help.

If someone is wronged, there is a process is most countries, especially western ones. They, as a victim, need to start the process in some way to make sure justice happens. None of it is secretive. No one, ever, should make anyone feel powerless to do so.

"To do everything right"? Did they go to the police? That's basic step one. Why are you making this seem so difficult? I'm really failing to understand how that's so difficult when you're an adult traveling the world. Your narrative makes future victims think it's not an option. Don't you get how incredibly harmful that is? Then, when you're traveling, your embassy is where you go if something criminal has happened to you. That's another basic to know, or in all seriousness, you shouldn't be an international traveler. This new age society is making people unable to have agency in their own lives to take any action. Yes, you're not going to John Wick problems. But holy shit, a majority of the world has a criminal justice process. Stop pushing a narrative that victims should just wallow in depression instead of pushing for justice. Making blog posts isn't the answer and will only let it happen more often.
> Hansson’s response to this employee took aback many of the workers I spoke with. He dug through old chat logs to find a time when the employee in question participated in a discussion about a customer with a funny-sounding name. Hansson posted the message — visible to the entire company — and dismissed the substance of the employee’s complaint.

If this telling of the events is accurate, what a petty way of handling the situation. Especially for an executive and company leader. It's like when somebody on Reddit digs through your comment history to try to win an argument.
We’ll me too but if there is an alternative I can still direcr my business to Apple’s store.

On the Mac I avoid the store if it’s possible to download directly from the developer so that they don’t have to pay a cut. If there were an alternative Mac App Store I would avoid it too like the plague.

There are some interesting iPhones mods where flash can be increased well beyond what was available in a particular model (16 GiB -> 256 GiB). IIRC there's some overseas magic device that transfers stuff from the original chips to the new ones.

Also, HP 48G/GX ram chip piggybacking with proper bank selecting and extra address line decoding.

Industrial flash I had my grubby hands on circa ~2001 was rated for 10k writes per cell, but it seemed to work 1-3 orders of magnitude longer than the datasheet. In fact, it wasn't possible to get a single cell error in a reasonable time-frame despite very carefully making sure random flash test writes were occurring and reading them back.
The question is whether it generates $30-50 of value a month to users, not if it’s a good price per GB.

For people who spend all day in a browser, which is a lot of people, I could see it.
This argument falls apart when you consider how often this is made nowadays. Yes, for one individual product spending 1-2$ per day isn't much. If you do this however for everything people advocate it nowadays, you're suddenly spending a thousand bucks plus per month solely on subscriptions.

> it was priced higher, we’d have more incentives for companies to come and make more great software

This is also a strange logic. The definition of innovation and the benefit of competition is to drive down prices for consumers, not up. Let's not turn software into some sort of Veblen good.
> If she doesn't know whether she genuinely consents to sex or not, then how is it morally acceptable to have sex with her?

Thing is, this is all a nonissue if your partner is enthusiastically into having sex with you.

So maybe more mutually fulfilling romps and less "well it was borderline but I did it anyway."
I'm unfamiliar with US law, but I thought that with these secret warrants, there would be little distinction between positive action (like telling the press) and negative action (like not continuing a canary).

As in, a judge would briefly think 'nice try' and send you to federal prison. Is this a concern for rsync.net? I assume they would have legal advice that supports your position, and know far more me.
Also, Musk can get away with things. It's his whole schtick.
It’s a shame we are reliant on (2) app stores. It would be nice if there was a way to safely implement browser plug-ins that would bring some of the functionality offered by native apps. Not sure if WASM/WASI might save the day here eventually, but the path we’re on now is looking pretty grim if the status quo wins out.
That’s also not going to work if we’re talking about farmland. Not every parcel of land is exchangeable for every other. It’s one thing to point at a city and say “fewer people could live there” and another to point at farmland and say society won’t feel an impact from not growing the crops on it.

The question is if they generating this much per employee, why employee does not get 30%? They are okay to charge app developers this much in app store, so why they think the effort of employees is not worth 30%?
If I was their employee, I'd quit.
Sure, emacs or CLI?
On the other hand, deeper water is less likely to be contaminated by toxic waste seeping down from the surface.
Yep. There are reasons Perforce is so prevalent in game development, even if we gripe about it:

- Large binary asset support.

- Exclusive locks for binary assets.

- Speed. When configured properly, it's very fast, particularly for large repositories.

- Tooling support. It's nearly ubiquitous in gaming.

I'm working on repositories that are 100+ GB and need to support both programmers and artists. Git just isn't the right tool.

We do use git for backend server-side projects. Having to support two different version control systems is a pain, but, again, it's useful to have the right tool for the job.
It doesn't need to be without user approval. I would be more than happy to email out a trustable commit hash or what have you.
wokeness is more a nuclear option to the bog standard "hetero normative cis gendered, white male power structure".

Through the looking glass, you get shit like "cancel culture is cultural marxism" which has been going on for decades.

If the choice is between wokeness and growing inequality and wealth gap spurred by the white christian nationalists, i'll accept the jargony attempt to reach better ends for more people.
My preference is to disallow/disable fast-forward (and squash) merges to master, and then use --first-parent when you want the clean non-broken easily bisectable history, which is most of the time, but the full messy history is still there.

I actually don't care so much about seeing the messy history, but its annoying when everyone on a team is always rebasing there branches and force pushing them. I've definitely been at places where one team member is waiting on another to merge their code to master so they can start working.

Of course, rebase all you want locally before you push.
My trained hand hits the +10s button in a fraction of a second :)

Usually when I'm watching "mainstream" content on Youtube I just skip the first one or two minutes entirely. There's always a lot of ceremony, "don't forget to like and subscribe", fancy intros etc. It takes me a couple of seconds to find out where the content _actually_ starts -- and it almost always starts after the 1 minute mark.
This is some amazing work by a young kid in Turkey. He jumped in and understood the (somewhat insane) hyperscript runtime, and managed to knock this out in a few days. Pretty incredible.

I'd prefer two distinct monitors. I use one more expensive colour-calibrated one, and then a standard one for work where colour isn't as critical. A large colour-calibrated screen would be prohibitively expensive.

What Apple should do is charge users $10 to turn off competing app stores, since from posts like this it seems to be worth so much to users to have them locked out.

While I don't think the study is particularly strong by itself, your criticisms are kind of strange.

I find that hard to believe that defining a roster of "Democrat elites" materially changes the survey responses and analysis. The only way this critique is relevant is if you reject the premise of the paper, but you don't seem to be doing that?

Is that a critique of all correlative studies? What specifically is this paper doing that you think bridges on phrenology (or all that other brain-size hokum)?

Why must this paper do that? There's a whole field of political science and opinion polling devoted to effective messaging, and they produce studies like this all the time. Maybe you find focus-group-shaped messaging "insulting", but that seems orthogonal to the goals of this paper. But maybe you can crack that nut and then we can purge like half of Twitter and most political talking heads ;)
Fdroid was the thing I missed most about moving to ios. Sure, it had a limited app selection and the apps were basic. But every app on fdroid had a really wholesome feel to it, like the app devs have made this just for you to enjoy and not to try to squeeze money from you.

Now on the app store, absolutely everything is crammed with adverts, tracking IAPs, and subscriptions. I can't just install an app and expect it to work because there is always some catch that ruins it.
Which is what you want. Whenever possible you should avoid running proprietary programs.
