Too bad cmd+w, ctrl+tab, and ctrl+shift-tab doesn't close an editor tab / switch editor tabs… and if you hover on the close icon, it just tells you to use cmd+w instead of something else.
Yes it could be fixed, but even then I don't think it is worth it.

The early language designers too got excited at the thought of generalizing subroutines to be able to suspend and resume rather than return once (especially before the call stack, where activation records are naturally ephemeral), but this was wisely abandoned.

Later we see much interest in actor models, and they too are disergonomic, and a skeuomorphism from planning people.

What's important is note the nodes, but the dataflow between them: programming is plumbing not connecting increasingly complicated pipe fittings. Most people get this dead wrong, and microservice are just the latest misunderstanding. All it has over the others is the unhealthy synergy with Conway's law.

Emojis are part of unicode but the actual image representations of the unicode characters are created and owned by platforms like microsoft or apple.

You can use the platform emojies on platforms that have and support them but you can't freely use them as in you can't redistribute them so you can't host or use them on your website without licensing issues.

Its like a font like Akurrat you can use it if the platform provides it but if you are providing it you need a licence.

>Wow, we made Apple blink.

Did we? I suspect the real issue the original client-side proposal had a lot of holes. What if the bad guys upload CSAM which hasn't been tagged by NCMEC yet? What if they then delete it from the device (but keep it on iCloud)? Or what if they zip the CSAM images and backup that?

In order to be even semi-effective, the client-side scanning has to be more invasive, or they have to implement server-side scanning too. Apple may well be looking whether they can implement this scanning without even more backlash.

Claiming that the 'too many false positives' objection is just an excuse for not liking having one's code criticized is itself just an excuse for dismissing a real problem with linters.

...And I wrote 'generally eager', because having a linter raise pedantic concerns over trivial matters is a way to extend this problem across from-scratch code as well.
It’s quite obvious to me that this is the holy Grail of natural language processing: A representation of real world knowledge which can be updated from human language, and which can be automatically translated into human language.

The entire concept of a backdoor that only the good guys have the keys too is so moroinic as to make my blood boil. The TSA locks were picked because a photo of the keys were posted online. The NSA forced an encryption method that they knew how to defeat got pwned. Yet the backdoor method still gets bandied about like it's the one thing to save us when it is exactly what will sink us.
I think one way this could be improved is, instead of giving an exact answer (which is provably impossible to do correctly) maybe it could be possible to point the developer to other repositories where other people were solving similar problem.

There are already services that do this for you and I actually find them useful. For example, I might be trying to use a function from some library and it fails. If I get pointed to some public repositories that use the same library in function for similar purpose, I may learn that I am missing some critical setup. I can also browse different uses of this function/library and get informed on how it is at the very least used successfully by others.
The reason they care now is because they have been trying to increase privacy and encryption of their services, and the powerful political flag that gets waved in opposition is CSAM. (second place is Terrorism but that engenders more political debate)

Even if the real government motives for wanting decryption backdoors or no encryption at all are less pure in motivation, CSAM investigation and prosecution is something that nobody wants to argue against politically.

That's the only explanation, sinister or benevolent, that makes sense to me for why Apple wanted to do this with all of the rube goldberg steps they created to make it inconvenient as a direct surveillance tool. . Given the priors that they want to avoid decrypted dragnet scanning of user data on their servers, limit who at Apple has access to user data on their servers (even when compelled by govt warrant), and that they can't continue down their road of device and cloud privacy without addressing CSAM, this is a solution that attempts to fit those measures.

I don't think that makes it a good thing. There is a clear ethical boundary for most people between "I uploaded this to your server and you scan it" versus "I'm about to upload this to your server so you run a scanner on my device, and that scan can result in a human at Apple seeing some kind of censored/thumbnail version of my personal photos."

Apple tried to find a clever work around to the above assumptions but their solution is something that feels like a worse privacy violation than just scanning everything server side.
> They have made abundantly clear that they have no intention of ever using systems of this nature for anything other than scanning for CSAM.

Then they're either lying or delusional; creating the capability guarantees that someone will pass a law forcing them to use it in other ways.
If the concern is minerals, aren't there rocks in the soil that as they get broken down over time will release minerals?

As for non-mineral things like nitrogen, isn't the soil supposed to have an ecosystem that replenishes these things? In healthy soil, there are bacteria, fungus, earthworms, ants etc to make the soil conducive for plant growth.

Nature doesn't add artificial chemicals for fertilizer yet left to its own devices, plants thrive in natural soil. The activity of growing plants per se doesn't deplete soil. Maybe it's the use of pesticides and herbicides that kills the soil by killing the things living in it.
>That may seem obvious to you and I. Hence my question.

I think it seems obvious to everyone, and anyone saying the entire economy was shutdown was just being hyperbolic. Everyone who lived through it knows that they were able to buy groceries and that their power and lights stayed on.

>Would it? What models showed that, and how much higher is massively?

Something like 12 percentage points according to this paper [1].

>There were many companies that that stayed open.

Right. But my point is that unemployment rate isn't everything when discussing what percentage of the economy shutdown. Many people were receiving paychecks despite their company being essentially closed for business.

> However, that doesn’t answer why the Windows shell was so poorly architect in the first place.

It's simple really: Microsoft doesn't have any competent developers working on the Windows user interfaces. My guess is that if you display any competence you wind up being moved to somewhere they care about like Azure, PowerShell, or the licensing team.

At this point I'm wondering if it is worth trying to build my own desktop on top of Windows Server Core.
> "self-reporting to the authorities"

That's 100% not what the feature is about. People need to stop spreading this nonsense. Apple only get the result of the scans when the files are send to them via iCloud, then they, Apple, not your device, would report to the authorities. Also, they already were looking for CP in your iCloud content and report to the authorities anyway, as was shown recently with the doctor that was caught with 2k images. So whether you were or weren't using iCloud, privacy-wise on-device scanning makes literally 0 difference.

And that's why I either use the awesome opensource fonts (they've really very good lately), or use Adobe Fonts (formerly TypeKit).

As much as I hate Adobe, the rented fixed monthly payment is the only logical alternative to current font pricing models for web. Rent Photoshop for $10 a month and you get Adobe Fonts for web with unlimited usage, as a bonus.

> Earlier Arm versions had compressed instructions (Thumb) but ARM64 dispensed with it for (likely) performance reasons.

That's apples and oranges. To use thumb, you have to switch modes on the chip. You can't mix and match them and I think you can't even have both types in flight at the same time (I might be wrong there).

Each RISC-V compressed instruction is tagged as a short instruction, so no mode switching is needed (though the total number of possible compressed instructions is reduced as a result of the tag).

Compressed instructions have a full-sized counterpart that they (theoretically) expand into, so once you get past the decoder, there is only one instruction type.

This is also interesting in how it affects fused instructions. A lot of people say that instructions X and Y could be fused into instruction Z instead, but if X and Y have 16-bit versions, then you basically get the same length as the 32-bit instruction Z.

Cache pressure is interesting too. x86 is something like 15% more dense than ARMv8. This matters because cache size matters for power, complexity, and cycles. Even without fused instructions and other "necessary optimizations", comparisons show RISC-V code to be around 15% more dense than x86. This means that RISC-V effectively holds around 30-35% more instructions in the same sized I-Cache. This means that 24kb I-Cache in RISC-V would have about the same hit rate as 32kb of I-Cache in ARMv8 (assuming equally accurate predictors and prefetchers). Alternatively, someone could implement that same 128kb and enjoy a higher hit rate and gain throughput by avoiding reaching out to L2 cache (which is 5-10x slower).

We may not know the absolute performance limit of RISC-V yet, but these kinds of details seem to indicate that the limits may well be higher than ARMv8/9.

A good investment does not need to go up more than inflation, technically speaking.

If you’re using leverage and the cost of that leverage is lower than the cost of inflation (The case with US mortgage rates) you will come out ahead even if the property only keeps pace with inflation. Even if the interest rate on your debt is the same as inflation, mortgage payments are calculated using simple interest while inflation is compounding. That’s not even getting into taxes which can shift the calculus further in your favor.

Unfortunately, this can all be very non intuitive but RE is one of the best investments out there. You can’t get margin called, the government is heavily subsidizing the loans and there are endless protections (Can’t lose your primary residence in a bankruptcy, mortgage forbearance, etc ) you’d have to be crazy to rent if you have the option not to.

If you're in the business of font making, then I'm sorry about this, but... Which of these would be better for the vast majority?

- We remove IP concerns from fonts entirely. All existing fonts are free to use however you want, but there are no incentives to commercially produce more fonts.

- We find a better way for people to continue to have to think about whether they're allowed to use a given font instead of focusing more fully on what they want to communicate.

It's the role of economics to address problems caused by scarcity. But are fonts scarce? Are they scarcer than the attention required to use them? When do we say, "good job, that's enough fonts" and move on?

Or do we really need to reserve a fraction of the global mindshare for font design in perpituity? I'm happy to be convinced of this, it's just that I don't see it from here.
