I know this discussion has been going on for years now, but:

I am not a programmer. I own a personal desktop and a personal laptop as well as a smartphone.

I do use it for gaming and media (though, honestly, streaming unlicensed video is something I only do on an ancient laptop tucked away behind the TV. The desktop only holds my actual collection of music/movie rips).

I also use my desktop to edit photos, videos, and music. I use my laptop to DJ for fun sometimes, or to take with me when I am away from home for an extended period. I like to experiment with digital art, 3d graphics, and interactive projection/light stuff.

During the last year+ I used my personal desktop over my work-issued laptop to do live conferences with composited graphics and "real" green screen chromakey, as well as a vocal mic and other sources connected via USB interface. It was powerful and flexible enough that I could run all of the browser-based stuff, office applications, and the live streaming software without breaking a sweat on a single box.

I could go on, but I imagine it's moot. I am perfectly aware that many, many people have no need for any of this stuff. But I personally like having a powerful and extendable computer that can be used for multiple tasks, often simultaneously. I can't imagine trying to do these things on an iPad or my phone (certainly not lots of them at once, or as effectively).
You are too pessimistic. Inter-racial marriage alone in the US went from ~3% in the 1960s to ~17% as of 2015 (Pew Research). In some regions of the US, such as the West, it is approaching 25% of all new marriages.

That is pretty well-mixed considering many people live in locales with few opportunities to date outside their race.
The emergent research about CTE in what are upper-middle class sports in the US like soccer and rugby are ironically going to be an effective shield for the NFL, because there's no way American suburbanites are going to allow a little brain damage to force them to limit their European affectations.
It’s not exactly eye tracking, but you know some advertisers are going to use it to make ads that turn to point directly at you.

But I’m not sure the proposed tag is a good idea either. I have not used VR but I think it might be a good thing if web browsers in VR stay flat and can’t take over the space in front or behind them?
There are many developers, especially those just getting into the field, that don’t understand how to work with WebGL. WebGL is a great fallback if you need/want more control, but having basic support for 3D elements is a great idea for someone that just wants to show it off.
Have you looked into GNUCash (GnuCash.org)? It’s a venerable open source project that I believe was started to offer an alternative to Quicken and may be an acceptable alternative to QuickBooks at this point. I haven’t used it personally but if I could go back in time I would make a strong effort to make that work before using Quicken/QuickBooks.
> This would be more convincing if Catholics - actually religious people in general - were known for exemplary morals.

I'm not sure how you'd propose to measure that, but in terms of charitable giving at least religious people have been found to give significantly more:

I think I'm maybe not understanding what this is for. It's to show students varieties of anatomically correct bodies and genitals? But color and texture/material (skin, which itself has different varieties vs hair vs etc) is a fairly important part of that. I'd almost think pictures or videos would be better. I'm probably misunderstanding what the goal is though.

> Why not use a skin tone that’s not likely to be identified with by anyone? If we taught kids to put condoms on a banana they can figure it out.

> Making educational wieners racially diverse is a fool’s errand.

I mean maybe, but then why _not_ just use a banana? It just seems odd to go for extreme realism except for the color.

Yes, that’s true. But this article presents it as if it being special to the group is unique. So the context of “this is special to my group because Xxx” to help readers understand how it’s unique.

Not in this article, but I read an account how someone’s childhood includes a tradition/habit/whatever of parents forcing their child to pick a switch to then use for beating and how it was unique to their subpopulations and region. I remembered it because I thought everyone did this and I was in a different region and subpopulations. I don’t have a chance to talk with the author, but I wonder if what they thought was unique to their family and group was actually more common.
What?

Google and Apple are giving them devs access to something they built. That is not a tax.

“Taxation is theft” is a very simple concept. If I don’t pay my taxes, people with guns come to my house, even if I don’t use public services. If you don’t want to pay Apple or Google, go develop for other devices.
Throw an exception.

In PHP we would throw LogicException on these cases, it should never happen thus it something wrong with your code (logic).

https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.logicexception.php

Then in your outmost function , like the main function, you capture it and report it with a error reporting tool like Sentry (so you are aware of it and can fix it).

And for the end user you would show a modal or similar to describe the error in user friendly way.
Or the alternative: there are a huge amount of dangerous products in the market that we all shouldn’t be using. Thank you California for bringing this to our consciousness.

Personally I’m very content with these labels and actually avoid products that contain the warning. It’s only because of prop 65 that I recently learned many seaweeds contain high levels of arsenic, lead, and other heavy metals.
Yes, thank you. It's been a while since I've watched the video, so calling it "opposing arguments" was a stretch. More like a healthy dose of skepticism.

> How many other apps or services went under (or were never made in the first instance) because Apple decided that their business needed to pay them a 30% cut of everything.

Probably very few apps fit this. This rule basically only applies to digital goods, which are "free" to manufacture. There is some fixed server/dev costs, but its practically "free" to serve n+1 users.

This applies especially true to games where you buy in-app "coins". They're free to the dev, and giving our more / de-valuating the currency is a not-issue.

Of course, it probably takes a toll on licence-based apps like netflix/spotify and mostly server-heavy apps like Hey (by basecamp)

> I'm sure the 'third world' is bracing for the ecological disaster this will create. Anybody with a device more than four years old will toss it right in the trash and buy something new.

They really won't. Much like with Windows 8-10, a lot of people are just going to refuse to upgrade and stick with 10 (or even 7) for years and years until something finally breaks compatibility with something they care about.
While legally we are probably far away from this being a fraud, nothing stops google from adding something to their TOS and banning your account on that basis... This is the only reason I'm not using those noise generators even though all ad-tech should burn in a trashcan fire in my opinion.
I have seen this video before this HN post. There is a follow up video depicting our antagonist from a jail. He loses his temper and is put on mute. You can see from his body language how distressed he is. It disturbed me greatly.

This young man appears to be able to go from 0 to 100 very quickly with little self control. I can only imagine the kind of environment that helps create a person like that… It is so sad.

This seems to be pretty typical of companies that have a sustaining cash cow. They're simultaneously compelled to try to find new avenues for growth while unable to really establish, operate, and sustain a commitment to see it through. Intel has x86, Google has AdWords, and they both have a graveyard of alternative product roadmaps around them.

That said, I'm glad to see Intel gaining focus as I don't see it as a generally good thing for them to be floundering in the marketplace.

I believe it is from ”Illusion of choice”:

There's a secret third option: The organization could just hire good devs.
The charge station pro draws 80 amps. To use it safely, you need an outlet rated at 100 amps. My home is currently on a 200 amp service, and an electrician (also a close friend) told me I'd need a 400 amp service upgrade to provide adequate power to the whole house.
Isn't this mostly due to burdensome requirements which means most apps would have to remove features and the fact that they don't support upgrades? At least those are the arguments I have seen to not put the apps in the mac store.

> Oddly enough, all of these companies are YC backed, and yet in competition with one another.

Doesn't seem that strange to me. If you're spending 1x on backing each startup, you're expecting most of them will fail and one of them will return 50x. It's mostly just a numbers game.

None of the Windows dev machines where I work qualify for Windows 11, and that makes me very happy indeed.
I use macOS and Pop_OS! as my main desktops but I have Windows 11 installed for gaming.

I like Windows 11 a heck of a lot better than Windows 10, which wasn't too awful. Performance is really good. The UI is much nicer. The OS is slowly getting less cluttered. winget is passable. The system monitoring tools are really good. The colors are really well done (well, aside from the new icons, which I find ugly).

The new tiling features are great -- although #!@!$ Windows Terminal Preview still does not support them, even with today's release!

If Windows 11 sat upon some sort of *NIX-based OS, it's probably at the point where I'd switch away from macOS, although I'm not sure whether that's because Windows is improving or macOS is getting worse. WSL exists, but it's still just a VM.
Operating systems have been getting automatic updates for over 20 years. And what 3rd party ads are in Windows? I don't have any.
I'm not sure how the size of a standard library has any bearing on the size and perceived complexity of the language. To me, it's about how many language features/keywords/constructs etc. one must keep in their head to effectively write code, including writing the standard library.

I'd rather have a language with a very small core and an extensive set of libraries implemented with that core than one with a large core that tries to handle everything with features. There's something to be said about comprehensibility of libraries written in a language with a small and focused core, as well.
Apple does "Shill Marketing" on online / social media platforms.

"Someone who works for a business but pretends not to in order to seem like a reliable source is a shill. Shill marketing is the act of using a shill to try and convince the public that a product is worth buying ... The concept of shill marketing is simple. People tend to feel more comfortable with a product or service if they know someone else who has a good experience with it. If someone who isn't associated with the company tells you how good it is, the claim will probably be more convincing than if it came from the company spokesman ... Oftentimes, multiple shills work together, reinforcing each other's story and engaging in a conversation about how great the product is. ( https://www.infobloom.com/what-is-shill-marketing.htm ).

You are absolutely right that the M1 supports running other OSes through virtualisation. And Apple has promoted that fact and even suggested that as the new "Apple way" of running alternate OSes on the M1. Obviously many are unhappy about this fact, as older Intel based Mac even had official support for running Windows and could run many other OSes.

Thus, Apple's online campaigns for M1 seek to counter the really negative fact that the M1 is a locked down system where you can't really meaningfully replace macOS with another OS (run another full featured OS on the bare machine, and not with virtualisation). They also seek to convince ignorant users into believing that the M1 fully supports Linux and other OS (or that it will in the very near future), which is plain bullshit because it is not in Apple's interest to do so. I am willing to bet that once the M1 sales reach a particular threshold, Apple will confidently lock the bootloader of the M1 - that's the only major differeciator between the iPhone / iPad and the M1.
Targeting (leading with the crown of the helmet) is a penalty that can get a college player ejected from the game, and if in the second half will carry over to the first half of the next game.

A blow to the QBs head is a 15 yard penalty and automatic 1st down.

Spearing is a personal foul, 15 yard penalty, automatic 1st down IIRC.

Is it wrong? Look at things like radical feminism or men going their own way, seems like decent sections of both genders are starting to outright hate and swear off of each other even when they are heterosexual. And it's undeniable that any child born today will have to contend with all seeing techno spying governments with automated drone armies and live through whatever climate change has in store for the next 100 years. Just sea level change alone means massive city migrations around the world.

Job posts can't be regular submissions like this. However, we have monthly "Who Is Hiring" threads that are free to everyone. They appear on the first weekday of each month and can be found at https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=whoishiring afterward. You post your job as a comment in the latest thread. Please read the instructions at the top of the thread (above the actual job posts) and take a look at some of the other posts to get an idea of the conventions. These threads become closed to new comments after two weeks, but the next one will be tomorrow (Sept 1).

One important point is that you have to personally be part of the hiring company in order to post. Third-party recruiters and job boards aren't allowed.

Also, please be aware that not all posts appear on the first page of the thread. You have to click the "More" link at the bottom to get to subsequent pages. People sometimes think that their post hasn't appeared, when in fact it is appearing on a later page.

Plot twist: it actually was a real Banksy NFT which the artist's PR team is now denying as a way to create a bizarre piece of performance art.

Economic mobility is not the be-all and end-all of statistics: in particular, if everyone's income exactly doubles (and prices stay the same), then during that interval (the doubling) there was zero economic mobility.
I would disagree with the premise that the two stores are comparable. The alternative to not use the Mac App Store is not just financial, but also allows developers to bypass the sandbox requirements.

> Being against electronic voting has always been a position that got negative comments, insults etc. (unless foolish, luddite, naive, afraid, and so on are not insults anymore?

Is that really true? I always thought it was a pretty popular position, at least in the tech community. I might be biased, but I don't know how anyone who has a modicum of understanding about computer (in)security and has performed an update query could ever be dismissively enthusiastic of electronic voting.
EBITDA is a good measure of the upper bound of the earning potential of the current business.

And you're also right in that it's useful for comparing with similar companies. It's greatest value is in the variety of ratios that it slots into.

If 2 similar companies have very different EBITDA/Revenue ratios, e.g., that would indicate that the company with the lower EBITDA/rev ratio is probably less efficiently run.

iOS/iPadOS is the only graphical OS I've used without constant bullshit performance issues affecting the UI (stuttering, pauses, unresponsiveness to input) and with notably low input latency, aside from BeOS and QNX (back when they still offered free Proton desktop copies of that for hobbyist users). MacOS and very stripped-down Linux or BSD desktops are the closest I can get to that experience on the desktop, these days, and even those aren't terribly close to being as good.
The 90k price tag is for the highest trim model. The entry level is ~40k. We know the entry level won't be able to serve as a battery backup; however, there ostensibly a bunch of trim levels between entry and "ultra" with their own respective price points, and my understanding is that the details are still unclear regarding the lowest tier that supports this feature. If you have details, I'd love to see them.
