It didn't, radio waves didn't stop at the wall ;)

My dad told stories of communist youths tearing down people's "west antennas" and there were also attempts to jam western TV and radio stations, but this was in the early 60's or so. Later it was more or less tolerated (to watch western TV and listen to western radio), even though officially a taboo.
Re: the installation procedure, why does Asahi Linux have to have its own separate APFS container, rather than being an APFS volume in the pre-existing APFS container (and so sharing the Recovery volume with the pre-existing macOS install, not requiring you to resize the pre-existing APFS container smaller, etc.)?

> IP addresses cannot be owned

It is my understanding that IP addresses are not owned, indeed. Please correct if wrong.

There are historical IP space who governance is not clear, but for most IP space it's de facto "owned" by RIRs who assign some ranges to their members. According to RIPE assignment policy:

> Assignment of this IP space is valid as long as the criteria for the original assignment are met and only for the duration of the service agreement between yourself and us. We have the right to reassign the address space to another user upon termination of this agreement or an agreed period thereafter.

Internet "ownership" of resources is, or at least was, in my understanding a form of usage-based ownership (as defined by anarchist thinkers). You operate some resources and your ownership is based on that need precisely, despite having to pay some administrative fees (for domain names and IP addresses) to ensure public service infrastructure is maintained properly. Until recently, domain names and IP ranges were not subject to the "laws" of offer and demand, but rather to a first-come-first-served basis. But apart from historical actors (read governments and military industrial complex) who benefit from special rules in order to maintain backwards-compatibility forever, IP space is managed communally through RIRs and no entity exactly owns IP addresses, at least in a private-property based understanding of ownership.

Of course, my claiming to sell 127.* was a joke :)

> one cannot simply specify the system evolution over long time-scales.

While practically true, this isn't technically correct. If you knew the masses, velocities, and location with infinite precision and could perform all operations with infinite precision, (also assuming no external interaction and quantum mechanics doesn't come into it), you could know the state of the system for long time periods. The problem is we can't measure things that accurately.
I think you have it backwards. MacOS is going to replace iOS. Docking is a good reason for that. With the advancements in Apples silicon, we’re seeing more and more features from iOS added to MacOS, but not the other way round.

I would love a dockable iPhone, I’d pay a big premium for an M line iPhone that has the full MacOS in dock mode.

Thanks, [2] is interesting. Sadly lacking much information on the transmissibility of the delta variant, which is the dominant strain in most (?) western countries. Such information would tell us whether achieving herd immunity without direct infection from SARS-CoV-2 requires continual application of boosters forever (i.e. for each seasonal variant). I say this because there is evidence from other respiratory viruses that, after having transitioned from animal to human, they typically mutate to become more transmissible but less deadly, which we normally deal with by letting sweep through the country without mass vaccination (only for the vulnerable).

This bothers me that these days average engineer can't afford to buy or rent reasonable sized space to do experiments like this. My dream is to build my own IC but I am sure doing that in my living room would likely turn it into something uninhabitable. I've been looking at renting some space in an industrial zone, but that's out of reach money wise even in a remote area.
It's completely practical to ship the (almost) same kernel with different a different userspace. That's the difference between desktop Linux and Android, XBOX and Windows, etc.

In fact if you care about performance and reliability (particularly add more cores and get more performance) there is no option rather than build on a mature kernel. Google's Fuchsia, for instance, is a high risk project which might never reach parity with Android.

(I think of Microsoft's "dual track" OS strategy that took 5 years to merge Windows 95 and Windows NT)
> I have never understood why people felt the need for all this desktop customization and setup.

Compatibility with existing muscle memory.

In 1989, I took a .twmrc file from a friend, which mapped alt-mouse1 to move, alt-mouse2 to resize and alt-mouse3 to iconify. Those mappings became muscle memory over the next 17 years of twm and ctwm and KDE use.

At that point, my whitebox died and I decided to get an iMac because I was very busy with work and personal life, and didn't want to spend a lot of time building/configuring a new whitebox. MacOS was *nix, so how bad could it be? Well, I ended up fighting MacOS tooth and nail, as I could never get my mappings to work reliably. That lead me to use X11 for a lot of things, but that inter-operated poorly with native apps. After about 9 months, I gave up on Mac as a desktop and gave the iMac to my then-inlaws and built a whitebox.

So I feel strongly that the ability to tweak things like this, even if they are never used, can be crucial to some people.

In fact, I'd very much like to covert to using my M1 mbp as a desktop with a dock, but I simply cannot function using Mac's window management on a deskop. I've tried all kinds of tweaks and add-on to get the behavior I want, and they all fail in some way.
Ask HN: Do VC firms talk to each other abt what companies they are meeting with?
I recently got approached by a well know VC firm about a very early state startup that I'm building. Since, there was a conflict of interest (they already invested a player in the same marker) he was clear n very upfront about it. The junior VC I met with was very impressed and said that he would love to connect me with the senior team if I want because had some really great ideas. Next day, I woke up and find messages from 2 of the biggest and well know VC firms of Silicon valley asking me if I am interested in meeting them this coming week.

Depends on how much you start with.
It’s true even with arbitrarily good measurements when you get to the level of quantum mechanics.
The interesting thing is that the OOM killer doesn’t always go for the program that triggered the OOM. It may also decide to kill another memory-hungry process (cough database) on the machine unless you explicitly tweaked it.

To learn what fascism is, I highly recommend reading the book of its founder: “The Doctrine of Fascism” by Mussolini. It is short, up to the point, and clearly defines the subject. Basically it is an ideology centered on subjugating the needs of an individual to the needs of the (national) government. “Strong nation through collective action”.
That was not the question, it said "people".
Not that i disagree with your point, but you'd be surprised - if you're not familiar with the ISP world - the crazy routes some operators announce sometimes.
Big difference between Berlin and Nicosia/Lefkoşa. I lived for 2 years (2010-2012) in the North as a westerner and while the division certainly affects the Island, it is nothing like Berlin in the Cold War.

Healing and forgiveness, on both sides, must occur before reunification.
Officially it's less. But you simply just keep stripping out items from the CPI basket when they make it move it too much.
The author’s point seems to be that everyone exaggerates in a direction that best serves their desired political outcome. What he misses is the obvious — he exaggerates as well, in the direction of “moderation.” His desired outcome is that we all take a moderate approach, and the rhetorical device used to get there is that ‘crises are all exaggerated.’
The “nudge” can also come up even with exact starting information. When you calculate the next step and round it to the nearest nanometer, you’ve just nudged the system by enough to eventually make your prediction worthless in the 3-body case.
Meanwhile, over here in healthcare, I'm currently carefully evaluating whether to update some software packages from their 2011-release version to their 2015-release version (which are 99.9% compatible but add one or two new features).

And many of our critical systems (mostly MRIs) are on RHEL 5. (Not connected to any network, don't worry!)
Agreed, it's hard for me to imagine any realistic price that Apple could put on that product that I wouldn't pay.
While I'm very excited about the emergence of type checking in "modern" web development the triad of GraphQL / Typescript Types / JSON-Schema is a real cluster and I hope we engineer ourselves beyond a solution that requires endlessly translating between them in the next few years.

After having iterated through a bunch of permutations of Rust frameworks, Typescript frameworks and ORMs here is a stack that I'm particularly excited about (that mirrors this article a fair bit):

- Design a Postgres database in whatever means you prefer (I prefer SQL, since it's easy to design constraints in using the full power of the DB engine).

- Use Postgraphile to auto-derive a CRUD GraphQL Schema for your database (this is similar to Hasura, but encourages using Postgres row-level security if you need fine grained access control).

- (Also) Use pgTyped for extensions to Postgraphile's schema when you want to implement mutations outside of DB functions.

- Use Apollo GraphQL Codegen in your front-end to auto-generate types for your GraphQL Queries.

The net effect of this is you get full type safety and your DB Schema is your singular source of truth (Note that I'm not auto-generating forms from JSON-Schema like this post, but this isn't necessary for our particular use case).
Apple have no reason to use existing standards when they can roll their own version tailored to their needs. It's for internal consumption, after all. This is very much a theme throughout their design.
FYI - for anyone running across this thread later. This is a unique problem with (a kind of globally) consistent storage on small (single node equivalent) systems. If you have a large scale distributed system, you WANT writes to be well distributed across all nodes, or you’ll end up with problematic hot spots.

All new writes ending up on the same node/page/index is a good way to crush your system in a cascading-never-coming-back-up-until-you-drain-traffic-kind-of-way

I've been making us use a NAT gateway for all of our EC2 instances since the dawn of time. Only those that need to be directly touched on specific ports get dedicated IPv4. I can count all of our public IPv4 addresses on 1 hand, and that includes a static comcast address for a branch office.

Using auto-assigned IPv4 should not be default, IMO. If I just did what amazon wanted me to without thinking, we would be consuming 5-6x more IPv4 addresses than we otherwise need to.
It was a shorter path, they would have had to travel much farther to get to West Germany than to West Berlin. At the time the commuter trains in Berlin were still going back and forth between the sectors and too busy to be checked thoroughly.

He wasn’t trying to blow stuff up in the US, though.

It’s also inaccurate to describe Gerry Adams as an “opposition politician”. The opposition in British politics is the largest party opposing the government, and has a semi-official status. Adams was not in the Labour party and never even attended Parliament. So to British ears, it’s very misleading to say that there was a TV ban on an opposition politician.
That’s pretty expensive
The money and power within Apple have all gone to iOS over the last ten years, and developer interest is now overwhelmingly in iOS. That alone will dictate the direction of travel.
Source: I am not an operator nor ex-military, but my line of work lets me interact with a bunch of ex-SOF guys.

It's interesting you say that, as my understanding is that the perception is flipped within the SOF community. Most of the guys I've spoken with have nothing but positive things to say about people from Delta. On the other hand, at least two Rangers have told me that they were explicitly told to stay away from the SEALs (specifically, Team 6) when deployed together.

As I understand it, the average age in Delta is significantly higher than that of the operators in SEAL Team 6 and that has something to do with it.
What about people with allergic reactions or certain types of cancers that prevent them from getting any of the vaccines. What if they need to board a flight to take care of a sick family member or deal with an emergency? I guess they are now second class citizens?
Incels are surely a byproduct of our society, not only the West but also my country (Japan) and other regions (so called "ethnicels"[1]), and a threat at the same time.
They have already crossed the line. Violence, especially femicide, due to their misogyny and self-pity is not able to be justified by any words.

I agree with that it is a threat and removing it is the fundamental solution. But we should also have symptomatic treatment for making the world of today safer.

To me it is not surprising that an interviewer would not be satisfied if you attribute your success to luck alone. What can you contribute to a new work place if you rely purely on luck? It is important to identify how you were in a position to take advantage of the lucky circumstances that you had...

My two cents: A well thought out design process tries to augment luck with a controlled progress: where you try to move towards your goals in a systematic, more controlled, way so the final outcome is less dependent on luck but more dependent on your ability to properly adjust and execute your design plan. It might be that luck was more important than the process in your case, but that hard to build on, and more importantly, to make any learnings for the future, it still good to analyze how the process could be made better, how you could better take advantage of the lucky circumstances you had.
I'll jump onto the dog pile and add air filters for your vehicle. Dealerships are buying them up like toilet paper so you have to call around and ask them very nicely if they'd mind shipping it to you. And during fire season too.
Playground isn’t close to full app development; it’s very powerful tool, but I don’t see many professionals jumping to build on that. Full app development is when Xcode and instruments are available.
It's all application-specific. It's not even true that compiling with -march=${cpu} gives you the best performance on that CPU. As an example it was once discovered that for a certain large program -march=haswell was counterproductive on Haswell, and choosing a subset of those features was faster in practice. The same turned out to be true for Skylake. And BMI2 did not work right on AMD processors until very recently, so the fact that the PDEP and PEXT existed was not helpful. Your program would run, but the instructions had high and data-dependent latency.

In short, you need to measure the combination of compiler options that get you the best performance on your real platform. Most people can probably pick up a quick 10-20% win by recompiling their MySQL or whatever for arch=sandybridge, instead of k8-generic, but beyond that it gets trickier.
From what I've read, although they do hand to hand combat it's not very highly prioritised compared to being good with a gun and shooting people.
Is this something people use Nix for?
You don’t need to do it without loss, you need to do it with loss smaller than the closest that the digit sequence could be to an exact halfway point between two representable double-precision values.

This means you may need arbitrary-precision for arbitrary-precision decimal strings, but in practice these libraries are “always” converting strings that came from formatting exact doubles (eg round-tripping through JSON), and so have bounded precision. Thus you can tightly bound the precision required.

This precisely mirrors how formatting fp numbers used to require bignum arithmetic, but all the recent algorithms (Ryu, Dragonbox, SwiftDtoa) do it with fixed int128 arithmetic and deliver always correct results. We’ll see analogous algorithms for the other direction adopted in the next few years—the only reason this direction came later is that the other was a bigger performance problem originally.
People are going nuts about "yoga goats" too; bucklings this year have better prospects than ever before.

If using Gnome, using Sid is worth it. A lot of hate directed at Gnome is because of old versions, or distribution-specific hacks. I use the latest beta of Firefox for the same reason (as a webdev, worth it).

Edit: the main risk with Sid is with proprietary software, such as Zoom. There's always a fix somewhere, but fiddling around can be distracting.
It does though. None of what these people stated makes any sense. It appears to be some sort of propaganda for popular science media. In any case, the logics of the different individuals quoted are completely contradictory, so the only conclusion is a lack of consensus, which I don't deny.

No one knows what the next strains will be, but it is most likely that the generic natural immunity is more robust than the vaccinal immunity that targets only one rapidly mutating part of the spike protein. This is what makes the vaccinal immunity, and NOT the natural immunity, susceptible to antigenic original sin.

Also, Topham's whole argument seems to assume the existence of perpetual "updated" vaccines, which is entirely hypothetical, and which I do not wish to depend on.
