OSX is less than 1/7th of the desktop OS market, and iOS is slightly over 1/4th of the phone market; the major cloud companies are the largest consumers of desktop and server scale CPUs, and buy mostly AMD with some Intel only when cluster compatibility requirements apply; when it is non-x86, it is a mix of things that do not include any Apple ARM offerings but do include larger scale higher performance ARM CPUs and some POWER as well.

The most used architectures of any kind (including embedded, industrial, and automotive) are MIPS, then ARM, then POWER/PowerPC, then x86. Apple is a tiny player in the overall ARM market, and by hyper-focusing on desktop and phone alone, they are giving up important opportunities to diversify their business.

At no point does "Apple will have plenty of customers" make sense in a context where Apple is a $2.45T company: either they have a large majority of possible customers in multiple industries at multiple levels, or reality is going to come crashing in and drive them back down to sub-$T levels. You cannot convince a company that only has a net income of $22B a year is worth that much, no matter how much "goodwill" and "brand recognition" and other nonsense intangibles they have. Steve Jobs died exactly ten years ago on Oct 5th, and the RDF died with him.

Wow, what a great invention I have been missing! You made my day! :-)
6-10 hours?! One is basically adding a 220V outlet, and usually in a place that's very close to the box full of circuit breakers (the garage). In our case, the charger is about three feet from the breaker box. I would have done it myself if it wasn't installed for free (because $REASONS). As it was, took the pro about 30 minutes.

Now, that's not to say there aren't more difficult installations. But I imagine in a lot of cases in the U. S., where a lot of breaker boxes live in the garage, it shouldn't be anywhere near a four figure installation sum. My guess is a lot of contractors of any kind can pretty much name their price right now. Or they do I used to do when I didn't want anymore consulting work: jack up the quoted price enough that I would drop other clients to do the job at that rate should the potential client be desperate enough to pay it.
From what I gather it was just a radiation caused software glitch that momentarily shut it down.

Seems like they're back in shape.

As a comparison the Kepler telescope had 4 wheels, of which 2 eventually completely failed and they managed to get it into a neutrally stable orientation that could be managed with just the two and some thruster assistance. Until RCS ran out that is. 3 are generally the minimum you'd need to orient yourself in 3 axis, as one might expect.

Tips on Writing a Great Song
I think this is obviously a useful tool and yet I worry that JS is going to end up in the C++ hole -- too much syntax for most people to remember, having to carve out practical subsets for readability.
Not too much, AFAIK. I worked for one of these companies way back in my career (didn't realize what they were when I signed on.)

Our whale customer profile was something like "Saudi oil-tycoon's trust-fund kid trying to keep up with the Joneses [other Saudi oil-tycoons' trust-fund kids] by throwing money at lootboxes until they get the high-spec or rare equipment required to be equal-or-better in social status."

The way to make whales spend money wasn't to make our mechanics more addictive; it was to "seed" a rare item to one whale in a friend-group of whales, and watch the others scramble to acquire it too, so as to not suddenly be relegated to lower status.

We actually built measures into our game mechanics that would try to subtly disincentivize people from playing if they looked to be genuinely addicted—and for truly severe cases, we actually reached out to customers to get help (since if they're addicted to our game, they're probably addicted to other games, too, so just kicking them off ours probably wouldn't help.) These people were never the key user-story for us, so doing things like this was essentially free publicity.
I don't think this is "wokeness" so much as the centering of American perspectives crossing the streams with reasonable skittishness towards the prospect of referring to black people in an undignified manner (which, frankly, would simply be adding insult to trillion dollar injury).

> take a 30% cut for adding nothing to the platform other than owning it.

Since you're the one making the claim:

Please put together some numbers of what it costs to work with an international payment processor, managing refunds, customer support options of any sort, managing multi-state and international sales tax revenue and accounting, an update and distribution platform, a CDN equivalent, an easy beta release mechanism, decent security and signing options, your own marketing website, software developer time or salary to build and integrate all of these things, etc. It's possibly more than 30%. Plus if every indie game ISV had to do that stuff that they may not really enjoy just to launch a game, they may not bother writing the game in the first place. This is all value added to the platform.

Which is why everyone has been cool with paying basically the same cut for literally every other platform as well.
Not logically equivalent scenarios
A bunch of things are conflated here that need to be untangled. Not all trauma is going to lead to an addiction. Not all addiction is to pills or drugs. Not everyone who takes opioids is going to form an addiction. Not all trauma is intentional and deserves punishment.

The expert in this area is Dr. Gabor Maté. He is highly respected in this field. If anyone is interested learning about the role of trauma in addiction, he literally wrote the book on it, "The Realm of Hungry Ghosts" [0]

From Maté [0]:

> Turning to the neurobiological roots of addiction, Dr. Maté presents an astonishing array of scientific evidence showing conclusively that:

> 1. addictive tendencies arise in the parts of our brains governing some of our most basic and life-sustaining needs and functions: incentive and motivation, physical and emotional pain relief, the regulation of stress, and the capacity to feel and receive love;
> 2. these brain circuits develop, or don’t develop, largely under the influence of the nurturing environment in early life, and that therefore addiction represents a failure of these crucial systems to mature in the way nature intended; and
> 3. the human brain continues to develop new circuitry throughout the lifespan, including well into adulthood, giving new hope for people mired in addictive patterns. Dr. Maté then examines the current mainstream.

Each individual state may have more stringent CDL licensing requirements. However, every state must follow federal requirements as a baseline. One element in federal CDL operator requirements is a vehicle’s GVWR. The federal requirement specifies that, when a vehicle has a GVWR of 26,000 pounds or less, the operator does not need a CDL. However, this does not mean the truck GVW can be loaded above the GVWR of 26,000 pounds and operated by a non-CDL driver. Federal requirements state the GVW must, in addition, be 26,000 pounds or less. CDL requirements become more confusing when the vehicle is towing a trailer.

Does Gap in Curriculum Vitae a Bad Thing for Software Engineer?
Hi, my background is Business Management but I took a Bootcamp Full Stack Java backend, JavaScript front end. Luck was on my side, I got in to a decacorn company, 3 months in and got offered 2 years contract.

I did not sign the contract because my family emphasize on finishing what I have started which is my management degree.

I intend to take another Bootcamp course in September 2022 after I finished my degree, preferably Data Science Bootcamp that focus on Computer Vision.

Will the Bootcamp neutralize the Gap year in my CV?

I have a macOS VM under VMWare running on Windows. It wasn't that difficult, found some guides online by googling obvious search words. The only thing I haven't gotten to work yet is the App Store, but I saw a guide for that, just haven't done it yet. You won't get graphics acceleration btw, but CPU performance is fine.

I believe the trickiest bit was running a macOS serial generation app and copying that value into the VM settings.

(I've purchased plenty of Macs over the years so pls Apple, this is just for dev purposes!)

I don't think it's that simple: AWS offers a ton of higher-level services — if you just need a Linux VM, yes, you have many options — but otherwise you're getting into tradeoffs like how many hours of human time it's worth spending to build the equivalent of a managed service. This can look like you're spending more because you get an itemized bill from AWS every month but you rarely get your staff time broken down like that and especially do not get an itemized report of what they could have been working on instead.

That's not saying that the right answer is AWS: simply that you really need to balance your budget against your time and capacity. For example, ALBs are “just” load-balancing — but if you try to build your own system with automatic failover and scaling, the various tools for logging, security, etc. it'll cost a lot more than $16/month. Now, if you're running 1,000 ALBs maybe that might no longer be true — but I would bet that you have other tasks for your engineers which would see comparable or greater returns, so it's still a business decision.

I'm not sure how to answer that question, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do. GTK and its apps currently use integer coordinates, so in order to change that it needs to be changed to use floating point, and all the apps need to be changed to use it too. This is an API break and another thing that will take a long time to plumb through the whole stack and I doubt it will happen until at least GTK5. Maybe use KDE or Windows until then? Or get different hardware?

Edit: comment from a GTK developer here that goes more into detail: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/478#note_7939...

I guess if you want to know why should things be this way, you could say it's because of technical limitations? Though that may not be a satisfying answer to you.

Right, but the community is different than the foundation. I would like an authoritative "this is how you do it" doc, from the foundation, about setup/packaging/dist, and I want it to work. And if said doc advises using some third party tool, then the foundation needs to fund or take over maintenance of that tool so that it continues to work and the "standard" way of doing it doesn't change every year.

It seems crazy to me that we don't have this yet.

Why “Mind Your Own Business” Is the Greatest Advice Ever Given
Sitting for 8-12 hours a day in a cramped position is bad for your back, neck, shoulders, hips. Name a joint and it's gonna get messed up eventually. There's also a risk of blood clots and generally anything that can be caused by poor circulation, especially in your legs. Add to that poor sleep from sleeping in your cab or possibly a crappy motel if you're lucky, not getting enough sleep, rarely being able to exercise or eat well, and obesity and muscle degeneration start to become pretty serious risks, too.

"Breach" in this case would imply this was an external attacker and not an inside job; from all the info that is available at the moment, what appears to have happened is some guy with continous access to an entirely legitimate system but malicious intent basically managed to craft his own dump of all the records.

Based solely on the exposed field names those are not typical for government databases either, so this might have been reconstructed from a report or something.

I began my professional career writing Rails apps (previous experience in software was cobbled together Python and .NET scripts), and 1-2 years later made the full transition to Django and Python, mostly because my mentors and friends at the time were writing projects in Python. Plus, the job market for fullstack Python devs was much more lucrative at the time.

I must say though, I do miss Ruby and the syntactic sugar, packaging/dependency system, etc. The transition itself was also very painless. I’m keen on checking out the current state of Ruby and/or Rails 4-5 years later, as I’m sure much has changed!

The two main frameworks I use(d) have relative equivalents in both languages which is super nice (Flask and Sinatra, Rails and Django). Right now I’m in the FastAPI craze, but perhaps I’ll opt for Rails for my next personal project.
The problem itself is human. We like to label things for discussion, but sometimes that removes the human agency from the situation. Humanity has a large percentage of people who have zero compassion for others. They're only in the game for what they can get out of it, and fuck everyone else. You hear this sentiment, in various wordings, from all levels of humanity - the poorest of the poor, and the richest of the rich.
Oh the Simpson's Paradox is that the relative portion of the lower performing groups is increasing as well. For instance, ELL students have increased from 8.1% in 2000 to 9.6% today (https://www.edweek.org/leadership/the-nations-english-learne...)
Does anybody more involved in this topic know how high the chance of this getting implemented is? It mentions that this has been rejected twice before, mainly for runtime optimization reasons, and that there is another proposal [1] that mentions this as an extension to its functionality.

So the average case is quite contaminated and later generations enjoy it either directly or indirectly. I recently went down the rabbit hole but I decided to mind my own business for the moment.

I know; I was talking about the computer the person I was replying to already owns.

The GP said that they already essentially have 64GB+8GB of memory in their Intel MBP; but they don't, because it's not unified, and so the GPU can't access the 64GB. So they can only load 8GB-wide models.

Whereas with the M1 Pro/Max the GPU can access the 64GB, and so can load 64GB-wide models.
Spoiler: US Government spent more money than they had in gold reserves culminating in the breaking of the Bretton Woods agreement with European nations. The USD from 1973 became a fully fiat currency. So yes, if it deals with the US economy after 1970's, as the graphs indicate, it's inseparable from USD inflation most likely caused by government spending.

In other words, I know he is accused of doing something wrong but that's as deep as my understanding goes.

> But the size of potential customers for games is still much smaller than the market for a pocket sized computer (roughly everyone on earth).

And if that second install base is 8B, and even if only 10% of them play a game, that's still an 800M user market - which is bloody huge.

The actual percentage of game players is significantly higher - some online queries put it at of 50% of smartphone users. That's a potential market of over 4B if we use your assumptions.

Additionally, if you own a phone, you have the potential to buy a game at any time. You just need to be converted (and Apple puts a lot of effort into that in their app store). It's also much lower friction to get a game on a phone than a standard computer (which is, admittedly, pretty low to begin with).
