> They aren't making a chip from scratch though

For all intents and purposes, they are. None of Apple's SoCs since the A6 (2012) have been based on ARM's Cortex-A cores; the CPU design is fully in-house at this point.
Numpad is also a no-go, waste of space for me and unlike a regular, independent keyboard, moving the keyboard to center align with my hands means moving the laptop screen to be off center as well. That's weird and annoying, especially since I tend to work with a terminal on the right side of the screen
Right, it may be a clever fix but it's not safe to assume a user's gender based on their name or honorific.
Since 2016... yes, more or less.

Webpack became the de-facto standard for bundling for a few years there, but everybody hated configuring it, so it dramatically increased the "out-of-the-box" configuration. That said, the ES module standard has started to make its way into the world, so there are more than a few bundlers these days that aim to do Webpack's job better. They've also learned from years past, and most try very hard to remain "zero-config".

TypeScript has become extremely widespread, and has finally reached a reasonable level of maturity, in the sense that 1. most libraries now come with type definitions, and 2. its type system is sophisticated enough to express (and infer types for) common Javascript patterns. For non-Typescript code, Babel is still quite common, although like I mentioned, most bundlers are trying to avoid making you explicitly configure your compiler, so it's much less of a PITA to get working.

In runtime-land, I can only really speak to React. It's come quite a long way in the past couple years- the main difference is the introduction of "function components" rather than the previous "class MyComponent extends React.Component". These function components use a new effect/state management architecture (called 'hooks') that's sort of like a DSL. Personally I really like it, but it's kinda divisive. Next.JS has emerged as sort of the standard "React front-end framework", and it's quite nice- again, people took "Javascript fatigue" pretty seriously, so there's much less fussy configuration.

In semi-related tech, GraphQL has become quite popular for APIs, and there are a few libraries out there to help handle it.

Oh, and the Prettier formatter became popular, for whatever reason, which makes me want to bang my head against a wall because in spite of the name, it makes everything it touches uglier.

Anyways, I know that was kind of a wall of text, but the takeaway here is that although a bunch of new stuff happened, FE tooling is definitely trying to be more mature and avoid a Cambrian explosion of new stuff like there was back then. Hope that helps!
I agree, but think of it this way: Apple needs their devices to sell in order to not go broke. Google doesn't - Pixels sales are a blip on the accounting sheet.

They do indirectly increase value of the Android ecosystem by providing new features and benchmark for other manufacturers to copy, but it is not essential.
This is just a bunch of anti-vax talking points repackaged to avoid misinformation filters. I'm pretty sure the author is a big ivermectin shill too. Research your sources people!
And you do not think there will be not Union, and Political issue with Automating away one of the largest employment sectors in the nation?

For crying out loud we still build tanks that the military has not wanted for years because its a jobs program, and your telling me States and Federal government are just going to stand by and allow all of those primary, not to mention the thousands of secondary jobs just go poof, with no push back

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I love how people only talk about the technical problems here, the Technical problems with level 5 Freight Trucks are HUGE, and likely at least 20 years away from solved...

The political problems with it however are far far far far more daunting
The link doesn’t work in other countries, is there a press release somewhere?
Hell, I'd buy whatever Chromecast Super Mega Ultra they wanted to sell me as long as it gave me lag-free mirroring. You can't game on a half second delay.
Because the timing IS information. Why was a piece of information stated up front, or last, or in the fine print, or released to the public on friday at 5pm, etc.

We're not evaluating an arbitrary collection of facts, we're evaluating a flow (ie time varient) of information from a source of unknown trusthworthyness and as such we are looking for more information than just taking everything stated at face value.
Why is the subscription purchase option for the Pixel 6 Pro saying "From $689.72 or $28.74/mo for 24 months"? Is it really $209.28 cheaper than just buying the phone?
You are a scholar and gentleman, thank you.
Sure, in theory it can mean that some of them are just super nervous. But, of course I do help them if I see that they don't get anywhere. I don't think that there are too many people who will just 100% shut down without showing any sign of actual nervousness.

I didn't mention how much these guys were working at other places, but it's completely possible that they were doing a job where they could just get along somehow. E.g. the last guy who wasn't able to get anywhere with my puzzle was a candidate from an agency for one of my clients. I think he was some junior guy, but I don't know for how long he has been earning money as a developer. Obviously, the agency wanted to sell him.

Besides not being able to solve the coding problem, which I told him was not a big issue (so that I don't make him more nervous) he didn't find any issues in the sample code in the code review task. (And it has about 10 issues in 15 lines.) So yeah, some of these people may have been just copy&paste programming, they may have been tinkering with larger existing projects here and there (I don't know, maybe customizing CMS-es) or are complete beginners who haven't faced with the fact that they can't (yet) write code.

After all, you have to prove somehow that you can write code if you want an employer to hire you and pay you for writing code. Sure, it could be a take home challenge too. Some companies do that. Once I interviewed for a company where I didn't want to work for a role I was not interested in (embedded C++ developer), just out of curiosity and because they were pushing it. They had a quiz about C++ (like what is a constructor, what does this piece of code print and why, etc.) which they said I aced. Then they gave me a laptop with VisualStudio and a simple task (something like writing a text wrapping algorithm in an hour). Now not having any recent C++ experience (other than on Symbian, which used a completely different std lib) and having never used VisualStudio, I wasn't able to finish. But they have a more complex take home task. That could work for nervous types. It was an interesting experience, but I believe being able to communicate about the task is much more important than being able to type out the code on your own without any help. Well, at least for most organizations.

What’s so complicated about just copying Windows, Android or Qt 1:1?

I’ve got all my time already full with jobs, projects, and other stuff I’m working on, if I’d find time, I’d love to help extending wayland, deprecating GTK3 and GTK4, and modifying the software accordingly.

I’ve made custom patches for the same purpose in the past already, but I just don’t have the time.

Especially since with X11 it was at least somewhat possible to do it, but now with wayland it’s sadly enforced in the protocol to only use 8-bit sRGB and integer scale factors.

If I ever find the person responsible for that decision...
Thanks, that's just what I wanted to know.
Three years ago, my COO bought a $5,100 MacBook Pro.
Hydrogen fuel cells are not especially efficient, and are quite expensive. Efficient electrolysis is also expensive. Hydrogen storage is quite expensive. And, mitigating explosion risks around hydrogen is complicated. So, there are sound reasons to prefer other non-problematic storage.

If panels get cheap enough, overprovisioning to account for even a large round-trip loss may become a thing. Then, the cost of the storage and conversion equipment dominates. So, it seems like even after you have other reasons to make hydrogen anyway, a better storage medium seems worth using, too.

Nobody is quoting round-trip efficiency for the iron-air battery, so I would guess that is not very close to as good as lithium tech. Their descriptions of battery installations say they include a fraction of lithium cells; probably the lithium cells are used to smooth off the peaks, falling back to iron when the lithium cells get low. We have lots of other reasons to overprovision panels.

It is possible that, as hydrogen gets more integrated into the energy system, starting with steel production and later aviation, its use for primary storage will increase. That probably depends on developing cheap, volume production of aerogels for LH2 tankage. Cost will always be important.
The entire USA logistics industry is filled with toxic, below average IQ, bro-to-the-max managers. It's like Wall Street, but dumber and no math requirements. See my other comment in this thread for details on that.
When it comes to the topic of H1-B exploitation, there is no way I'm going to say that it doesn't exist.

But I will say that there is a huge gap between FAANG H1B, and Tata/Infosys/etc H1B abuse.
I think the price point sets the stage for a lower cost offering in the $699-$1299 range that will not be branded as "pro" and will likely have more of the eco cores and incredible battery life.
The eruption is continuing and is often quite severe, I assume there's no guarantee that the place they are will stay safe for long.
I wish I had a photo, but yes!

I find it hard to recall a contact number today. We get to use names, so that skill drops off quick.

Growing up, we had a wall mounted phone with an insane cord. Something like 15 to 20 feet so people could take a call and walk into the adjacent room.

One day, I wrote an important number next to the phone on the wall, and it started! Mom asked about it, and said something about writing on the wall being bad. I said something about the difference, because it is easy, right there, won't get lost..

She then put the school, family, few other things next to it.
Instant buy in! I remember feeling good about that, like we did something that matters and was unorthodox.

I took one last look at it before moving out and into my life:

There it was. Our lives on the wall next to the phone. That pizza place, family, services, church, schools, friends, and other bits: birthdays, various identifiers, locations.

When I left, that on the wall directory was damn near a square meter!

A phone book was right below on a little stand. Actually two: the local one, very small. And the yellow pages. Huge.

One day, my brother drank gasoline! I was the only one home and sure enough! The little green poison control sticker was on that wall, next to the phone. Called them and they told me what to do, until someone could respond.
> Buuuuuut.... the early stages of starting game development these days are, "What engine do you use?"

As someone who started from raw OpenGL and cobbling together various libraries (OpenAL, OpenIL, etc.), I think it's bad for pedagogy, but I love it for productivity. Just like React.js.

I think there's a huge advantage to not having to spend time writing code to glue together asset management to physics to animation to graphics to audio to AI and UI, etc., and also because scene graphs and entity/component systems are like game programming's equivalent to REST and MVC.

So once you know how to work with that stuff, jumping into an engine is a great way to get right to prototyping and skip all of the setup. But for building up the conceptual understanding... it's rough. It's just a totally alien way to think about programming if your background is classic frontend/backend.

> And honestly it can be a daunting choice. They're all quite large and have their own jargon and way of doing things. I can get through a "Hello, world!" tutorial in an afternoon but it'll take months before I get something useful to work and load my brain with all of the jargon to navigate the documentation and forums...

That's absolutely a problem, and I totally agree that it's exacerbated by starting from Unity as opposed to learning the component concepts individually. But that said, Unity genuinely saves me a ton of time, even if the result isn't as optimized. That goes double for VR, where the sheer conceptual load of designing/coding the interaction models makes doing it without an engine not really worth it.

> versus writing everything from scratch. It's a slower start but I have already learned a good programming language and can go from there. I don't end up with a black box of performance problems. Nor do I end up trying to shoe-horn my round game into a square peg. It's quite common going down this route to write your own data formats and tools as well: level editors, compilers, debuggers. And the productivity starts going up fast as you build momentum.

I think this is a difference of what you're trying to accomplish. An engine gets you off the ground much faster if you have trained on it because enough of the abstractions are common to most games that, for example, reusing a not 100% ideal graphics/physics/skeletal animation rigging/key framing/audio/collision detection system still saves you a lot of programming.
Is this an American thing? I've never heard of people (without any preconditions, or feaver, pain or illness) taking Aspirin on daily basis. But apparently 30 million US citizens do. How did that happen? (Was this only caused by the pre-reversal recommendation?)
I've casually free dove all my life (not to any significant depth), and I was shocked to hear that blackouts can happen even at shallow depths. I definitely have a lot more respect for this sport and will avoid doing it alone in the future.
Apple neural engine officially supports Tensorflow, I'm not sure if the GPUs are good enough to bother with it, though.
It’s probably because Apple ignored them the first time, and then pretends re-adding things people never wanted removed is “innovation.”
I used to work in the same building, as a department with legal authorities (purposefully vague here), and the burn out rate was astronomical.

Good, descent people, waking up screaming, cold shakes, permanently damaged from what they could not unsee.

You couldn't pay me enough to go through images of such sickness.

Outside of all the yes/no, on/off phone stuff, how are they going to hire, and keep staffed, a department of people having to look at this stuff.

How are they going to insure it?!
That's the break even, those optometrist tools aren't cheap and that's to get you in the door. The real money comes from frames and contact sales.
Still no full system backup like iOS
No, it's in your agreement.

Remember, canceling your account means everything (EVERYTHING) is deleted. They are far far more concerned that someone will randomly email them pretending to be the CTO of some startup or you, and they will blow away 3 years of someone's work.

Canceling your account even cancels glacier, WORM records, object and compliance lock data etc.

Everything I've seen says that AWS rightfully biases towards retention unless the delete request is very clear - and email will never rise to that level (nor should it!).

So you have to login and close your account yourself.

How you get from a very reasonable business practice here (and they are frankly one of the easiest of the major players to actually talk to) to fraud... is a stretch.

Edit: For those not familiar with AWS account closure here are the steps:

so that it can be quoted, re-shared, copied, etc. without losing context.
They should be expected to try hard.

Been a recruiter. It's comical what companies list in order to hire the cheap H1 they wanted all along. Absolutely no way anybody has the experience they claim they want most of the time.
I ordered a 16" M1 Max 64GB and am excited for it, but I'm sad that Apple dropped the touch bar. I do use it all the time, scrubbing through slides in Keynote, audio controls in Logic, hanging up a Facetime call...
> I imagine it's similar to how people of color feel when seeing seas of white faces on product pages past.

This is an American company. The US is largely white. A product page for an Indian company wouldn't shock anyone by primarily including Indian faces.

Not really... the Mac Pro is famous for its high price, but this explicitly says mac mini which is almost exactly an order of magnitude less than 5831 € .

I don't see how what the article says and what you say are in conflict.

The recommendation used to be "just take aspirin, you won't have a heart attack" and now it's "wait, this could be bad, let's qualify that".

He uses this as a lead-in to discuss the concepts of NNT and NNH. It makes sense.
A virtual machine here or there for your spreadsheet and email apps and it really starts adding up.

Interesting, I thought I had bought glasses in a CA Warby Parker store without a prescription.

Maybe it's a Tesla-style showroom thing where you look at the frames in store but technically buy the glasses online.
We can point out corner cases for both approaches till cows come home.

Yes, both of them have advantages and disadvantages, engineering is about picking the right compromise. So yes, there will be cases where you would be better of with the other approach... for a while.

But the approach is not being picked just for today and for the current state of tech. For the same reason, you won't lock yourself into unnecessarily complicated software that is going to be permanently buggy, and to be obsolete soon -- just like you would not appreciate being locked into Psion/Symbian-like memory management today, despite making sense, solving a problem and being more effective years ago.

This is exactly the same case. That software is going to stay here for decades... you RX 5700XT is not.
An actual acknowledgement would be cool.
> Have you improved sanitation in your process since?

Yes, very much indeed. Although the wild yeasts came from the starter culture I used at the time: milk kefir. Long story :)

Kefir cultures include lactose fermenting yeasts, in particular Cluyveromyces marxianus. It could be the culprit. Anyway something in my culture was producing alcohol because I could see bubbles in bottles of whey and I even had a small explosion once. Ahhh, the joys of washing goat-smelling whey from the walls of the kitchen...

Edit: In my experience almost everyone in home cheesemaking says they have impecable sanitation and that can't be the source of problems like early blowing etc. I like to buck the trend and admit that I try my best, but it's never possible to have 100% sanitation in a home kitchen and even less so when making cheese which is a protracted process with many opportunities for contamination. At least, since I've switched to using lyophillised cultures I've had only one cheese exhibit late blowing. And most of my hard cheeses have squeaky clean natural rinds without a spot of yeasts or moulds. That's probably a good sign.
Wealth is not income. In particular, the wealth of say Jeff Bezos is mostly the amount of Amazon shares he bought multiplied by the last price Amazon shares traded it. If Amazon shares trade a few percent higher that doesn't mean there is magically several billion dollars more actual, real, inflation and purchasing power adjusted money that could be going into the pockets of workers if Bezos didn't pocket it. There's simply no mechanism by which that translates into the several billions of dollars of extra real world goods and services required to make that possible.

Now, there are actions that can be taken which are non-zero-sum. For example, if someone were to organise a way of providing people with goods and services more efficiently, that could increase the amount of them available and therefore actual real-terms income. We generally call these organisations "companies" and some of the value of that organisation existing is measured in the form of wealth. Just moving income around and expecting it to make everyone better off somehow is pretty zero sum, as is printing more money to chase the same amount of goods and services, or trying to convert wealth into actual income by confiscating businesses from the people who set them off and selling them off.
Can you elaborate on the "secret store" ?
The answer is do not buy a MacBook pro with their ridiculous premiums on memory and disk. Buy a Dell or Thinkpad, install Linux on it, will support all your usecases and you won't be trapped by Apple, will also save some $$$s in the process.
> a brief job opening in a local newspaper

Not just a brief job opening and it is not just one. It has to be posted twice and there are further requirements, can't just be a footnote.

In addition, they have to post the job offers in a board visible in the company.

This is part of the PERM process, which is step 1 out of 3.

If you are complaining about the 'newspaper' thing, that's why immigration reform is needed. You can guess how old the regulations are.

Makes sense that some people are annoyed.

Apple wanted to be "bold" and forced a lot of their users into a pipeline that didn't last. And now they are listening to the demands of their users and backtracking.

Users that stuck with them are now being punished for their brand loyalty.

Apple: "If you want to connect to HDMI, you have to buy a dongle now. Also TOUCHBAR! Woot."

User: "Ugh...fine"

Apple: "So... now that you own that dongle that you didn't need, but we decided to make you need. Well, we decided not to make you need it anymore! It's built in. Also, no more touchbar! See! We listen!"

User: "Ugh......."

I'm not here to harp on Apple, but I understand why some people are a little put off by their decisions.
I think it's good for people to not think in such absolute terms. People are happy this product exists, but it's also annoying that it took so long. I'd rather have that type of response than the standard "fanboys" vs "haters"
