Interesting viewpoint, but I'm not sure we should believe him. From one of the tweets in that thread:

"But even in the latest 680030 was woefully far behind Intel"

I think he means that the Motorola 68030 was behind Intel's competing CPU. According to Wikipedia, the 68030 was released in 1987. The 80386DX is the Intel competitor, albeit it was released a couple of years earlier.

68030 offered 18 MIPS at 50 MHz.

80386DX offered 6-7 MIPS at 20 MHz in 1987.

The 386 had all the weird "real mode" and segmented architecture baggage. The 68030 had 32-bit registers and 32-bit data path.

Not sure we can take this thread seriously.

Amazon has also occasionally paused their rapid expansion for one quarter, just to prove that they can be profitable when they want to. Then, they continue spending all the money that comes in and more, to expand again. If you think the money is well-spent (big if), then being unprofitable might just mean you are spending now to be more profitable later because you can.

The main issue is that if you haven't tried to be profitable, how do you know for sure you're spending the money wisely?
Ah okay, that makes sense then. Sorry about my confusion.

I don't know the motives of the original poster. Since the article was about how the top 10% own ~ 90% of the stock, I assumed the relevance of the income tax figure was that it was related to its impact on wealth inequality.
Both 14" and 16" can use the highest spec Pro processor. But the 14" only needs 96W while the 16" can go up to 140W.

Does that mean that the 14" will be throttled on heavy workloads?

You can have a feed but they’ve actually made it worse recently.
That won't get the top 10 Steam games running on MacOS. There's just too great of a disparity in the tooling, a 'convergence' like you're describing would take the better half of a decade, conservatively speaking. And even if they did converge, that's only guaranteeing you a portion of the mobile market, and just the new games at that. Triple-A titles will still be targeting x86 first for at least the next 5 years, and everything after that is still a toss-up. There's just too much uncertainty in the Mac ecosystem for most games developers to care, which is why it's a shame that Proton doesn't run on Macs anymore. Apple's greatest shot at a gaming Mac was when MacOS had 32-bit support.

Your older Intel Macs are probably just fine for gaming, too. I play lots of games on my 2016 Thinkpad's integrated graphics, Minecraft, Noita, Bloons Tower Defense 6, all of these titles work perfectly fine, even running in translation with Proton. If you've got a machine with decent Linux support, it's worth a try.

Weird scenario where you have 80TB of data, but a tight budget to back it up. I guess it is some kind of hobby thing.
> Reference counting is usually very expensive, because even reading a variable updates the reference count, and ending a scope involves testing the reference count of every variable defined inside the scope and conditionally deallocating the referent.

This is true, but if you can prove things about lifetimes then you can eliminate RC operations with that.

Also, GC is expensive for large processes because 1. peak memory is typically higher 2. you have to scan all of memory for pointers 3. that memory may have been swapped out. Of course this can be optimized too.

According to Backblaze's calculator[0], it would cost $4,800/yr to store 80TB on Backblaze B2 and you're storing it for $60/yr. Cases like these are why unlimited storage plans don't make sense...

Just in case people missed it - the magsafe cable connects to the power supply via usb-c. So (in theory) there's nothing special about the charger that you couldn't do with a 3rd party charger, or a multiport charger or something like that.
> I don't think it matters that it is impractical.

But it does matter, it practice it matters more then what is legal if we are honest.

> It isn't the FSF's job to write Rust tooling

Yes, but it doesn't mean that it's not a bad license for the given use-case.

If it's impractical, then in practice there is not much difference to the license simply forbidding the usage (iff the company cares about what is legal).

Through the question is is it a bad license for the given use-case? I.e. does Sequoia provide a rust API or do they provide a C-API written in rust.

Licensing a rust "for-rust" library as LGPL is in practice so close to GPL, that you just could have made it GPL. But a rust C-ABI library/program (e.g. a system library) is a different matter and binding in a LGPL C-ABI library into a rust project still somewhat practical doable (but still quite annoying).
Yes, I can also build from Dockerfile:

That SSH bit is no longer required as I'm using MMDS instead.
The underpriced ones
I think that many of the censored episodes would fall under the rare times it is acceptable, though, but I suppose that is just my opinion.
I completely disagree.

I'm in my middle 50s. I have friends who have lived below their means all their lives and invested in wisely-- almost all of these people have sizeable savings now.

I also have friends of my age who did not live below means. They spent what they had and invested almost nothing. Predictably, they have nothing to show.

The system works. It's been foretold in investing books for decades.

Today, we have resources like Bogleheads, Mr. Money Mustache, Dave Ramsey, etc. they all preach the same message, and the message is overwhelmingly truthful.

Accumulating wealth is relatively certain, if you follow the process. There will be rare exceptions, but that's true of most everything.
But this was not a use case that was using proof of real-world identity. How could that service possibly be relevant in any way?

In fact, Github would know nothing about the identity of the Facebook account (and vice versa). This connection would be completely anonymous from both their perspectives. All Github could find out is is that somebody trying to recover the account had access to the preregistered (but unknown) Facebook account. And all Facebook would find out is that a user was recovering some unknown Github account.

Yes - and the danger for them is as an iPhone user I feel almost forced to use iCloud, and if I do that I might drop backblaze as I can use iCloud for everything.

Why am I forced, because if I don't back up my phone using iCloud, then I need to back it up using iTunes, or not at all. That they have made copying photos off the iPhone terrible and iTunes terrible, is a good tactic to make me use iCloud.

For now I am holding out, sticking with backblaze (I love the do-nothing and it's backed up workflow) and probably will go the iTunes YUK route for backing up.

I don't think "progress" should be understood as "accumulation of technology."
Can the service itself be profitable but the company not be? I mean how do we define profitable?
I think the idea is that some of the people that have $1.25M now are not going to be around in 23 years, and that money will have gone to [inheritance, eldercare, etc], so who makes up the top 10% will change simply because of demographics.

It makes more sense if you see it as lead generation, like the free plans for stuff like Slack or Notion. Some of those people will pick B2 or their group management platform if they do a startup and do well enough. They probably spend less on data hoarders than similar-size companies spend on free plans.

Among my friends (so extremely small sample size), most prefer warm weather (which is why Austin and Miami seems to be more popular). They wouldn't even consider the Pacific NW because of rain. That's before we even get to cost of living (which for Seattle metro is more expensive than Austin and Miami).
The Client Computing group is larger yes, however few things to keep in mind

1. they don't split revenue for Laptop market alone , So hard to say the impact of laptops (especially Apple) itself on their revenue or margins.

2. Also CCG is much slower growing than the Date Centric Group(DCG) business for Intel in the last 4-5 years as to be expected to be in the future as well.

3. The Apple deal was likely their lowest margin large deal(perhaps even loosing money ). Apple is not known for being generous to suppliers and also Intel was in not in any position of strength to ask great margins in the years leading up to Apple Silicon, the delayed processors and poor performance and threat of Apple Silicon had to have impact on pricing in the deal and therefore their margins.

Not saying that Intel don't have a lot to fix, but it also not that suddenly they are in much worse position than say last year.

That entirely depends on the the data set. On one hand you are claiming to be an expert and on the other making generalizations about what data can be used for. In reality you know that data is contextual and depending on the data set is what determines what conclusions and how confident you can be in those conclusions.

I don't see this study as by any means the last word on the effectiveness of the vaccines, and I see that people are pointing out flaws or concerns that probably need addressing. That is normal. What is not normal is that major and life altering policy decisions are being made because "the science is settled", mainstream news outlets are editorializing about the "unvaccinated" as an evil class to be looked down on and held responsible for all our problems, and personal privacy is being invaded under the guise of how important it is "I have a right to know if the person sitting next to me is vaccinated".

It was clear from the beginning that the reaction was a religious one, so I dont expect to see anyone's mind changed, but its still not right to see the kinds of injustices that are being done in the name of something that has so much uncertainty around it.

(Even if the effectiveness was more cut and dried to still don't believe it justifies the government mandating people prove they are vaccinated wherever they go, but we're not even at point to have that debate)
People care about performance a lot, especially when writing evented I/O. The explicitness is pretty useful at preventing unexpected performance cliffs.

One of the main pieces of feedback I heard about green threads is that they are "just as confusing" as threads. Developers tend to view preemptive multitasking as a difficult-to-manage hazard. Non-explicit async is not technically preemptive, but, most developers won't know which functions are going to cause a context switch, and it can change from one version to the next. So they kinda end up assuming they're all gonna context switch, so they put mutexes on things and basically do all the tedious and annoying work that threading entails. It's simultaneously "too much magic" and "not enough magic".

That said, Ruby's new green threading stuff [1] is very exciting, has the potential to revitalize the concept, and we'll just have to see how things turn out in the next five years.

This article made it all click for me:

https://adit.io/posts/2013-04-17-functors,_applicatives,_and...

Not sure why, but treating everything as boxes makes all of the fancy FP abstractions on top make sense to me.

I think for C/assembly, the higher levels of abstractions aren't something you'll care about, because they're too costly. However, and apologies for the Rust code in a C++ thread, but I wrote this today and I think it demonstrates either the value or the horror of monads et al.

let channel = app
.channel
.map(|c| Channel::from_str(&c))
.transpose()?
.unwrap_or(Channel::Stable);

In plain words, I have a box that might contain a String (app.channel, which is `Option<String>` in Rust, or roughly `char *` in C). If it does have a String, I want to parse the String into a `Channel` enum and return an error if that fails. If it doesn't contain one, I want to use a default enum value of `Channel::Stable`.

The equivalent Rust code written in a more C-like style would be more verbose, something like this:

let channel = if app.channel.is_some() {
let parsed = Channel::from_str(&app.channel.unwrap());

if parsed.is_ok() {
parsed.unwrap()
} else {
return Err(parsed);
}
} else {
Channel::Stable
}

It depends on the language but I find I'm also far more productive with strong types.

When I use a dynamic language I get no errors in dev, I need to run/invoke the program to see if it works. It may appear to work fine as I haven't executed a specific code path hence dynamic languages have extremely high test coverage. With dynamic languages I am delaying my feedback loop, I may get some visual output quicker but that doesn't mean my program is correct.

With a strongly typed language and utilizing types you use the compiler to guide you. The compiler says hey, this isn't correct, fix it, you go fix the error and recompile and repeat.

I've used Elm before and it's the only time I had a complex Javascript UI just compile and work first time. It's like a wow, did that just happen.

With Typescript it's not quite to the level of Elm but find my experience working with React etc far more productive. Typescript says hey, that's wrong, I expect ... you gave ..., you work through the errors and when it runs generally there's less silly mistakes than when I just use Javascript.

I'm learning Rust, the compiler error messages have greatly helped. When you compile it says hey, you tried to do ..., maybe you want ... instead. Not to sure what the suggestion is I try it and 9 times out of 10 it works, compiles, program runs.

With types you generally get better IDE auto complete support etc.

Now i'm using Python for my day job. My experience has been painful, discovering what arguments functions take, passing in wrong values, needing to run slow test suites, finding errors at runtime. Yes you can use type hints and I do but I find them far less reliable.

I guess I'm not a very good programmer so learnt to lean on a compiler to do the hard work for me, and if you have good type support you can lean on types more to get the compiler to help you more.

In Haskell I can write complex logic by writing out the types and ADT's. I've written whole programs with tests to verify the logic without writing a program. I find this incredible efficient for prototyping ideas, just write the types, the functions signitures etc etc. Once that is done you implement the functions, hit compile then boom, your shocked it just worked first time running.

>(a) Accredited investor. Accredited investor shall mean any person who comes within any of the following categories, <etc.>

Persons that meet the definition of an 'accredited investor' per 17 CFR § 230.501 are accredited. Attestations, diligence, etc. are irrelevant to that fact as defined by law. There is nothing that needs to happen above and beyond the criteria as spelled out.

I don't generally believe in morals (as opposed to utility) in ethics, but the MIT students who opposed this speaker are now morally obliged to listen to his criticism, because it's in good faith, rationally argued, and entirely within the context of the original lecture.
