> > Now, perhaps OSX is more feature complete than Oberon, but certainly not by a factor of ~40 000X.

> I am not at all sure that this is true.

Well, the first 90% takes 90% of the time, and the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time. That is, the last 10% doubled the size of the project. And if you add another 10% to the scope...

That is, doubling the number of features much more than doubles the lines of code.

Well, does OSX have double the number of features of Oberon? Far, far more than double. It's almost laughable to even compare the two. So while Oberon is very tidy and efficient, the comparison is kind of misleading.
The visual light spectrum starts at around 380nm, if we arbitrarily assign that to be "C", and we ascend(ascending wavelength, descending frequency) from that with the same 12-tone "equal temperament" used in music we get:

C 380

B 402.595975856532 ~violet

- 426.535578357562

A 451.898703701034 ~blue

- 478.769998960052

G 507.239144584613 ~green

- 537.401153701776

F 569.356689213139 ~yellow

E 603.212399747916

- 639.081275592823

D 677.083025786658 ~red

- 717.344477638087

C 760 infrared

With 760 being one "octave" below 380, though the visual spectrum ends at around 740, which means the visual light spectrum is a bit less than one octave.
OpenSSH that ships with macOS doesn't support ECC keys loaded via PKCS#11, only RSA keys. This is the case even on Big Sur because though it ships OpenSSH 8.1p1 its linked against LibreSSL 2.7.3, which lacks support for delegating non-RSA signing operations. This is annoying if you're using an HSM or secure enclave via PKCS#11; for example the T2, which only supports ECDSA P-256.

There's nothing wrong with RSA keys. What's being disabled is the use of SHA-1 for signature hashing. SHA-2 works just fine and the same RSA keys continue working.
I installed this and could not get networking going again in WSL 2 until I uninstalled it. I was sad.
Thanks, but this sounds like it only says what subcategories and, perhaps, pages are in the categories—but doesn't contain any data from the pages themselves. My main target is kinda-structured data from infoboxes—e.g. genre, platform, year for videogames. I don't even need categories particularly—I just grab all pages from them, hoping that all the pages I would want are in these categories.
The AWS issue in US-West-2 is only affecting a single AZ, according to them. A single AZ should never take down a production service.
It's a 15" screen! For 4K to even begin to make sense, you need a 40" diagonal, and with your face about a foot away from it. (For a more detailed explanation, ask a local fifth grader.)

People will fail the pure color test and that is all there is to it. They will know it was light blue, but won't be able to choose correct light blue. Nad they will sux even more with mixed non-primary colors.

Reproducing visual properties is much harder then you think.
Because procurement processes suck and developers don't want to deal with them. When it's something from Microsoft, Google, Amazon, it's not a problem because those deals are handled at a level that developers don't interact much with and are ingrained as business critical. There's no way we're going to have a contract with Docker by January so I fully expect a "Please uninstall Docker Desktop" email long before that.
The 68k insn set is a rather traditional CISC architecture, there's not much that makes it "superior" to modern designs. It's comparatively simple because it never really got extended beyond recognition as other architectures have been, but other than that I can't see any reason to recommend it.
Indeed. Proprietary/Closed-source but costing $0 is the worst of both worlds.
Nix and Guix (my preference) are good alternatives. Guix, in particular, has its own system/application containers (not runc compatible). Highly efficient since they are essentially composed of symlinks of individual items in the Guix store.

No idea - I haven't even seen it officially recognized, or studied. But I can guess its all to do with the spike protein.
Gross Margin for Calendar Year 2020 was around 71%, so no more than 29c.
Generally, using an internal IM client provides a stronger guarantee that all people in the group are employees. This reduces the risk of leaking out sensitive info, or the chances of a journalist/competitor snooping in, or phishing attacks etc.

As such, employers should strongly prefer that such communication happens via internal channels. It is the smart thing to do, unless you believe that employees would just stop discussing these things if you banned them from internal IM. But of course, this is Apple.
One intention is for the Australian police to be able to fabricate evidence that can then be used to generate American warrants and prosecutions, very similar to the way the FBI and DNC fabricated the British Steele dossier in order to generate FISA warrants and prosecutions of various Trump staffers.
Yes, that is is why I continue to be a Fastmail customer. I do not think there is a comparable alternative with no government snooping.
Show HN: Market analysis framework for rental property investors
I agree.

I bought a system76 years ago wanting to support their open source work. Maybe it's changed since (?), but mine had a Clevo shell which meant it had a bad keyboard and a terrible trackpad, with a cheap plastic feel and lots of flex. It's the first laptop I ever replaced within a month...

The keyboard was later recalled, so I swapped it out with a new one they sent me which wasn't cut to the correct dimensions and never fit (bubbling up in the center and leaving a gap around the keyboard for things to fall into).
It's amazing how those few strings of hair turned the skeleton bones back into a real person for me. Thanks, nice post !
Why is being adversarial a problem?
> they have 1.25MB of SRAM and 1TFlop of FP16/CFP8… This is woefully unequipped for the level of performance they want to achieve.

Any idea how OP made that conclusion?

My GeForce 1080Ti has 1.3MB of in-core L1 caches (28 streaming multiprocessors, 48kb L1 each). It also has L2 but not too large, slightly under 3MB for the whole chip.

The GPU delivers about 10 TFlops of FP32 which needs 2x the RAM bandwidth of FP16. I’m generally OK with the level of performance, at least until the GPU shortage is fixed.
I think, for law, you could probably get some utility out of lawyers within the same families of legal system (i.e. english descended systems have a lot of similarities) but the specialization here is too extreme... That all said, I've got a relative that's a military lawyer who has done the standard thing of being regularly relocated across the globe - and he is still bar certified in Mass. I imagine if you could build enough of an expectation of work you could take raw law school grads in Mexico City and prep them to pass the NY/Mass/Whatever bar exam as is relevant to your company. This would be a big investment on both the individual and company's side but maybe there's some space there to cut under standard US rates?

Taxi disruption worked to various degrees depending on how much the local certification meant - in most locales it was just "Can drive cars" - in areas where there is a geographic knowledge test the ride-share disrupters have fared less well. I think it's essentially the same for lawyers - their certification is extremely non-trivial, a lot of laywers only ever get certified in a single state due to how much of an investment it is and how little value you get out of it.

I could see a proposition coming from the opposite side - trying to unify portions of the law so that the regional specialty becomes irrelevant - but you'd need to fight against a lot of unfriendly folks and sovereignty concerns to do anything on that front.

Instead, the market players we can see in the legal space today focus elsewhere - legal matters that are predictable enough that you can essentially mass-produce responses for needs. For common contract law this seems like a great fit - but as soon as anything gets complicated you need to pull a warm body into the mix.
It's hard to complain to much about a free product that is a side line to the companies main business... Oh wait, we just lost the free version and it's now the companies main monetization scheme? Well now I care a lot about the little annoying bugs I've been dealing with for the last 3 years.
a great thing about the framework though is the processor is upgradeable! So once the new stuff comes out ...
You can configure the max memory in wsl 2 with .wslconfig file.
>Your overstimate what we protest for and the effectiveness of it.

I don't keep up with all the protests but it's a far more active middle finger against infringement than most countries where we sit around and watch our liberties erode away in the name of progress and security.

That erosion is really all a front in the US for increasing power of already concentrated power and we sit back idle and watch it happen as we struggle to stay afloat in a set of abstract rules we must follow to survive.

When I see France, I at least feel like your citizens haven't given up and are still trying to fight for their rights. How effective it is is another thing, but at least there's some will left. In the US we just bend over and say, "oh boy, this again..." We seem to have already given up the fight, are unaware, and/or simply don't care anymore. I'll take an ineffective attempt at retaining rights over complacency any day. It's not like we have more clever strategies that are more effective, we just don't participate at large, period.
Looks like the increase from 8GB to 32GB is going from ~3W to 12W of power consumption.

The CPU likely consumes 30-45W depending on configuration.

So it's not trivial, all things considered.
You declare not being part of an officially recognised church, not being atheist. Muslims don't pay these taxes as these is no recognised Islam "church". Getting out is easy, depending on where you live. It took me about 10 minutes, signing a paper at the Standesamt, and out I was. Got a nice letter from "my" community priest giving me a chance to rethink that while threating me with hell, pretty directly so.
The fact that I have to stare at a blue loading bar for a good 10 seconds before I see any content means I won't be using LiveCode for any reason... lack of open source notwithstanding.
Windows has practically perfect hidpi nowadays. Also on moderately hidpi screens (eg 4K 32"), MacOS is extremely blurry.
They've limited themselves because people wanted it (often violently). Now the majority of people are complacent and that's when the "leaders" accumulate power.

In Europe for example, complacent with the police taking away the homeless, complacent with the laws slowly eroding everyone's freedoms, complacent with the healthcare systems they pay for believing it helps people.

It's the same old tired trope of "first they came for X, and I didn't speak out". In the end there will be no one to speak for the majority, either.

We have it coming and we'll get it.
I would love this in the Lemur Pro. Not sure where coreboot is for all AMD chipsets.
> I think he seriously thought these circular-filed complaints carry the same weight as a protesters in front of government buildings.

They do carry the same weight.

They are both useless.

Standing around holding signs and marching and chanting has never been effective.

Having the crowds filmed and broadcast, on the other hand, is effective. If the media isn’t making a story out of it, it means nothing.

In the 60s and 70s people began to believe marching and protesting en mass was effective. But, it was only effective because the media, for their own reasons and agendas, decided to broadcast the Freedom Marches and anti-war marches and all the rest.

I don’t believe that prior to the 60s, anyone would have considered milling around in front of govt buildings effective at all. To be sure, having mobs tearing down the buildings was effective and happened frequently.

You could assemble a million protestors in DC and, if it’s not shown in CNN, you might as well have stayed home.
So it's easier to have Uber drivers get child work clearances, trainings, and vaccines, than to temporarily allow unvaccinated drivers (likely with masks) while training their replacements...
Khalil Gibran expressed it like this: "You can avoid crying all your tears, but you won't laugh all you laughter then." Highly recommend reading The Prophet by him. A thin book, saying a lot with a few words.
In which case... I'm pretty sure its unproftiable for the vast majority of companies pursuing it.

Just as 80%+ of computer companies went bankrupt in 80s and 90s... I expect 80% of these chips to go bankrupt moving forward.

IBM PC, Amiga, Tandy, Acorn, Commodore, Japan's PC-98... they all were on the hype-train for the personal computer revolution. But very few of those machines ended up commercially successful. (IBM PC arguably did, but it was the knockoff clone Dell that won commercially)

Just because we know its a good idea doesn't mean that the companies putting bets on it will survive. In many ways, entering a hype market that's proven successful (but with no clear market winner yet) is almost more risky due to the huge amount of competition.
When I worked at "Big Defense Corp" we had 2 things that made it easy to tell who made what.

- An online directory which included your title.

- A list of salary ranges by title.

The ranges actually were a little wide (they would overlap a little), but you basically could figure out what everyone was making.
I've had a bit of a play with Singularity containers and thought they were quite cool. Popular in the science circles but not so much anywhere else. I wonder why.
>The trackpad is even off to the left to accommodate it.

Yes, that is the first thing I notice. Any laptop with an off-center trackpad goes in the do-not-buy list.
> Like a lot of business, the real money's in selling other people's labor at a markup, not in selling your own labor.

I hate that this is true, and am glad I found a way to make a living that avoids both, but congratulations on getting to the core of the matter with great clarity.

Google researchers detail new method for upscaling low-resolution images
The hypothesis that guns are a deterrent has little to do with the citizenry fighting against the army or the police. It is about the risk of political assassination by a rogue individual every time a politician walks outside. If the leaders start to deviate significantly from the will of the median person, that risk goes up by a lot, hence the deterrent effect. Would Kim Jong Un still be around if every person was armed? Perhaps, but it'd be quite a bit less likely.
Interesting detail. Assuming the original was Catalan or Castilian or some other Latin language, I think a machine translation of a short phrase about "ideological freedom" is likely to be accurate. Most of Europe uses the same handful of Greek and Latin roots to express that. (In English we have "freedom" from a Germanic root, but you get the idea.)

So you're suggesting Apple will allow an email to go out to everyone that alerts employees of the EMPLOYEE-hosted slack space? Because if not, we're back to having to tell them via home visits. Any other method (for example, spreading the word in the break room) would get the worker organizers in trouble if they got caught.
Yeah- https://wonky.computer/post/podman-notes/
I could see this gaining steam. Why would the activism stop with equal pay between men and women. Why not equal pay for everything. Who is going to stand up and say I think the Non-binary Black Cook in the cafeteria should be paid 60% less than the privileged white male programmer? Could AAPL afford to pay every employee 500k?
There are a lot of things we could do that are effective that would boil down to cultural changes. I just know how to effectively promote such approaches.

I have a compromised immune system. Germ control is a big part of my life.

I do simple things that are readily available, like get takeout instead of eating at the restaurant and use self checkout as much as possible. I know these strategies are effective. I just don't know how to get past a bunch of people wanting to dismiss it as anecdotal and "That's just your opinion, man!"

Which makes no sense to me given the current state of things. But that's how it tends to go, if people are bothering to be polite. It sometimes is a lot uglier, which makes it hard to bring up such ideas at all.
Many of these stories would be prevented if ivermectin was more readily available. Yet the first thing that comes up when googling it is the FDA making baseless claims of it being dangerous. Of course it can be dangerous when people have to turn to questionable sources instead of being able to get it from their doctor with instructions for use.

>There are other defenses, historically.

Indeed. Revolution, rebellion. None of these *have* to be violent per se. The Pax French have handled massive changes in gov without armed conflict in the 20th Century (not counting WWII and Nazis occupation.) It will be very interesting to see how well their democracy will counter this.
... but the greater effort is more or less all "hustle" and not the actual work. Not really comparable, I think, to most programmers' experience of work.
I am not an expert on German unions, but I think one key factor is that German unions tend to have company-level decision-making and representation. In the USA, it is common for unions to be industry-wide, with little or no significant company-level decision-making authority.

These monolithic unions strike at one company or another according to what will most benefit the rest of the union. This means that the union is 'attacking' one company, and helping their competitors, subsidizing the costs to members at that company with money earned by members from the competitors. This is something like blackmail, and is bound to cause animosity with management.
Well, it is considered the oldest social housing offering in the world.
No, we don’t have to do those at the same time as a public health crisis, and ICU beds are not overflowing due to the maladies you enumerated. They are overflowing because of the unvaccinated.
Yes - although I think Steam is in a different market position where there are substitutes (e.g. developers/publishers can choose to submit via GOG, Epic store, Microsoft Store or sell direct so there is no monopsony), so providing a lower revenue split to encourage big developers to the platform is a good/valid strategy. The strategy is different for Apple (where there are no perfect(ish) substitutes, and they can exploit this to have higher margins).
I don't think that follows, sadly.

The evolutionary history matters a lot in these things, since they set the culture and precedent on the platform.

Macs and desktops started (or at least, became popular) as an open environment where users obtained software directly from vendors. iOS and Android (with the caveat that it has always supported sideloading) started as closed systems, and the vast majority of customers are used to getting their software from the official app store.

I know ivermectin is for horses. I also know it's approved for humans. I also know it's not approved for covid. Whether it's being or been tested for covid ... I seem to recall yes, but not much, and so far results are not promising.

I get all my news information from the media. All of it. (And zero from the Twitter and Facebook accounts that I don't have.)

And yet he says the media isn't reporting it, and Google buries it. But Google news is one of my primary sources for news.

(there are none)
What does that accomplish?

I work at a major research university as a software dev in a unit that is all about public opinion and such. I am well qualified to drop names, and think my opinion about ‘should this be a prop or a state in React?’ is well-informed but I make a point not to say anything online which anyone might interpret as having to do with domain expertise for my unit.

That is, I have no special qualification and neither do undergraduate students, alumni, food service workers, fitness instructors and many other people who are blessed with an .edu address.
While you are correct, these other defenses are messy and miserable to live through. Let’s hope we find a less bloody path forward.

I wouldn't say that only the state is capable of helping. Most organizations that help in these situations currently in the US are private, often faith-based, and non-profit.

Also to mention... to challenge preconceptions about who's behind this stuff, the current US president (who many would consider "liberal" or "leftist") made great efforts and progress toward locking up lots of people ("tough on crime"), especially minorities, in the past. The last president (who many would consider more to the right of the political spectrum) actually did a lot to reform and fix that, especially for minorities.
Honestly many countries don't charge (or at least as excessively) for education. Student loans are a product of a system that should be far more subsidized than it is today.

Many of the politicians who rant about "personal responsibility" themselves didn't have to worry about an out of control real-estate market (that they probably voted in favor of) and $2k 1bdrm rents. Cost of college was cheaper back then too.

No one should have to die in debt.
