Not everyone needs 15+ hours of battery life. I'd argue that most people don't. Laptops were extremely popular when the battery life was two hours. Now even older laptops get 5h+.

This comment makes no sense.

We elect politicians to oversee government and make laws.

Anybody can 'lobby' them, we generally want that, because we want politicians to be informed and responsive.

We do have to be careful about undue influence, which is why we have rules for that.
I'd dispute the idea that nobody wants to spend trillions to get rid of fossil fuels – it's built in planned obsolescence, turning the foundations our economy into a growth sector once again, providing new opportunities for infrastructural monopolies and disruption.
Are you really comparing a refurbished laptop to a new one so you can find a price that matches?

"Crime rates go up and the homeless population shoots up, they say, when they add a bus stop next to your neighborhood."

Setting aside questions of morality, what part of that is factually incorrect?

In places where driving a car is more convenient than taking mass transit (almost everywhere in the US), mass transit is primarily used by persons who cannot afford to own a car. If a mass transit stop is added to a neighborhood which did not previously have one, that means poorer individuals and families can now live there (or visit there). There are known correlations between poverty (including homelessness) and crime, so it is logical that adding a mass transit stop will increase crime over time.

Why is that incorrect?

Also typewriters had a thing called 'pitch', which refers to the number of characters per horizontal inch. There were 10-pitch and 12-pitch typewriters, although both had the same height, 6 lines per inch vertically.
>Wait, it was possible to ship a CPU in 2006 without a barrel shifter? ARM1 was from 1985!

I was absolutely floored too.

And it made very little sense to me either. PowerPC has probably my favorite main ISA bit manipulation instructions out there: rwlimi

https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/aix/7.2?topic=is-rlwimi-rlimi-ro...

Any logical shift, rotate, bit field extract (by constant) and more all in one single cycle instruction that's been included since the earliest POWER days. They had a barrel rotater in the core for that instruction.

The only thing that makes any sense to me is that somehow it would have been too expensive to rig up another register file read port to that sh input, so they just pump it as many times needed with sh fixed to 1. They seemed to be on some gate count crusade that might have payed off if they were able to clock it faster at the end of the day. It took the industry a bit to figure out that ubiquitous 10Ghz chips weren't going to happen, and the hardest lessons would have been right in that design cycle. : \

> If it was something silly like "only constant bit shifts use the barrel shifter", I'm surprised that compilers didn't compile variable shifts as a jump table to a bunch of constant shift instructions... :)

Variable shift isn't the most common op in the world, so as far as I know it was just listed as something to avoid if you're writing tight loops.
1. MS adds directx to WSL

2. People write "Linux" apps that require directx

3. Linux technically stays an option but is unable to run apps without NT underneath, and nobody writes plain Linux apps because of market effects

Weak because people could still write apps for just Linux, plausible because convincing people to divert effort to the MS way would work and is classic EEE.

Macs are a small market, but Apple definitely sets trends. Once they adopt a technology, people "know" it works and it's safe to switch.

If servers can run on cheap ARM hardware that uses less electricity and runs far cooler without much of a performance difference, that's a massive improvement. Electricity savings would more than justify a switch. Apple has shown that it's possible at the desktop/laptop level. Now they or someone else can prove it works at the server level as well.

“Consensus” is not itself a scientific object. It’s a social object describing the shared views of a bunch of scientists, which is exactly what TFA says.

So what is the trade off you think you’re making?

This is weird. I feel like I’m talking to someone who has a fixed opinion against something. It’s good for _everyone_ that these chips are as fast as the best chips on the market, have crazy low power consumption and the cost for new is comparable.

Intel have been overcharging for more than a decade when innovation stagnated.

Honestly, I’m not so hot on Apple (FD I am sending this from an iPhone), I prefer to run Linux on my machines but I would not advocate everyone to do that. Just like I wouldn’t advise people to buy old shoes because it’s cheaper. These machines are compelling even for me, a person who relishes the flexibility of a more open platform — I can not imagine myself not recommending them to someone who just uses office suites or communication software. The M1 is basically the best thing you can buy right now for the consumer; and the cost is equivalent for other business machines such as HPs elitebooks or dells latitude or xps lineup.

And for power users: the only good argument you can make is that your tools don’t work for it or you don’t like macos.

If you’re arguing a system to be worse: you’ve lost.
Except that the consensus on the science has been growing, in defiance of the consensus of politics and the public, which has been slow to get on board.

Your analogy doesn't work.

Why is any of this necessary?

You have to understand, many of us think microservices is a stupid idea, so the fact that the core of your argument is "monorepos make microservices difficult" is not an appealing argument.
I agree that open ISA does not equate to blob free hardware. And many RISC-V designs out there will have royalties, and devices blobs.

But the open ISA levels the playing field and allows for upstart hardware designers to make compatible hardware that is royalty and/or blob free.
“Consensus” in this context does not mean that all the authors of those 3,000 papers got together in a room, debated it out, and released a statement.

Re. Newtonian physics, the scientific method demonstrated otherwise. That’s how it works.

Your point simply means that anthropogenic climate change may be incorrect. However, currently, it’s far and away the most likely explanation.
Libreboot has no binary blobs, Coreboot still has a couple. But modern CPU architectures require some of those blobs to function correctly. So Coreboot has broader compatibility with modern hardware than Libreboot.

Both are good, but I've always leaned towards Libreboot just cause I think ThinkPads from 2005-2008 look amazing and it's fun to know that there is no proprietary software on my computer.
I doubt you can assume that such diseases would spread and persist in the Native American dispersed population. European immivasion created adjacent disease reservoirs of urban and concentrated agriculturalists.

Also, Europeans colonized other regions where they did not have as great a disease or technological advantage.
The British figured out how to build in a swamp long before:

And if you made your politics based on the Newtonian consensus you'd make exactly the right politics in all fields concerning mechanics that don't involve extreme proximity to very heavy objects, speeds not attainable by objects we care about in our corner of the galaxy, or extremely precise clocks. Heck, the same is true to a somewhat lesser degree if you based your celestial politics on the consensus before Kepler, the epicycle models weren't half bad either at predicting celestial movement.
It's a misleading article and the study was misinterpreted across the industry. For example here, "The average number of years at tech disruptors and titans"

It doesn't say average numbers before employees leave: https://insights.dice.com/2017/08/22/tech-jobs-last-2-years-....
Lol, if you carefully look at the "temperature anomaly" graph in the middle of the article, you will find that the light blue line is not a moving average (like any honest scientist would do), but several piecewise linear segments made by linking a few convenient extreme points.

Like, choose an unusually hot year (1998?) and then draw a straight line after that to give a false impression that the curve is flat.

Now that we're in 2021, we can see more data - turns out 1998, an unusually hot year (and the hottest in record since 1880), would be an unusually cold year if it happened right now.

Whether this seems like an issue may depend on whether it's a significant character on OSes you've used.
Indeed. And while we can confidently agree with an outcome and believe evidence as we please, it is dangerous when we decide that consensus means we should no longer consider other opinions and then worse, actively shut them down to prevent speaking.

For instance we can disagree with and admonish others' views without silencing and removal through the 'disinformation' label. worrying times seeing this grow.
I am talking about iOS behavior without the back button.

1. showSafariView(), that has Done button, that returns back to you, which is less general than show(appView), that has Back button, that works for any appView, system or not.

2. I do not know iOS. You tell me what the experience would be. On Android in RSS I click a Netflix deeplink, that sends me to the show in Netflix app. There I click IMDB link, that opens IMDB app for the show. After checking out reviews I click Back, that brings me back to the show view in Netflix, I check "Add to Watchlist" here, then Back again, and I am back in my RSS reader. My guess is that Done functionality you mentioned before would stop working after encountering the very first deep link to Netflix, which my guess is will either open Netflix website in Safari popup (bad, because not the app) or open Netflix the app (but that won't have the Done button).

3. Good to know.

Are you comparing ARM to x86 or Intel chips specifically? Intel could design their own ARM chips…it’s an architecture family with a SUPER wide variety of implementations.

Everyone seems to be excited about the newer AMD chips which are x86.

ARM is nice for low power, low performance workloads like embedded, phones, and laptops.
> one too many times (which is any number higher than zero)

Nitpick: if the number is higher than one, then it's at least two times too many.
this is not science, they just random sampled some research papers and found that they all have consensus opinion on whether humans have effect on climate change.

it is not news to anyone who reads news, as almost every week there is a research paper from another PhD student with claims of anthropogenic cause on climate change of somr sort.

climate researches really should up their game in research RIGOR.

I do understand that garbage like this makes it to HN front due to sensationalist and clickbait title, but so does almost every other climate paper and all of them end up being duds

Details released of ‘safe haven’ programme for Hongkongers in the US
If you live in the US I urge you to contact your congressional representatives and ask them to support passing a bipartisan Carbon Tax, which Romney recently said he could support[1], via budget reconciliation.

Manchin has blown up the CEPP and he's against a carbon tax (clearly he's against anything that's going to hurt coal), meaning the kind of transformative climate change legislation we desperately need is going to require some republican support.

The last time we had a decent chance of passing large climate change legislation was 10 years ago. It's possible we might not have this chance for another 10 years. And by then it might be too late for the planet.

Is electron some sort of synthetic genome compiler?
It's getting there.

There are getting to be a good number of SoCs reaching actual silicon in small batches, and available on relatively expensive boards ($100 to $665). They work. You can buy them.

Hopefully some of them go into mass production, which should drop the production cost for the actual chips to $5 or so and boards to something like Pi prices (there are dozens of companies that can make boards once chips are available).

Having the core and chip designed and progressed to working test silicon is by far the hardest part already done.

Price then comes down to production volume.
I’ve been an Engineering Manager, a VP of Platform, and Head of Engineering at a startup I’ve confounded. Here’s my input:

Individual contribution is my last priority. Generally, if I try to continue in my previous role as a software engineer than I become a bottleneck for everyone on my team. I need to focus on quality of issues/stories in Jira, code reviews, deciding on library or package usage, discussing code styles, and meeting with other managers to broadcast what the team is doing and our general status. Every time I let myself focus on doing development work instead of smoothing out the process for the rest of the team I’m actively harming my team and our process.

I usually look at writing software as a luxury at this point (though it varies at a startup where I’ve got to pull a lot more weight come hell or high water). If I do it, I aim to take on bugs or upgrade packages. Maybe I try to grab low hanging performance improvements. But whatever I do I’m grabbing things that are on the periphery so I’m not holding anyone back who may have a dependency on the work I might pick up.

The Docker situation on macOS for Apple Silicon is just really, really terrible. Docker on macOS was never particularly good (compared to Linux anyway), but on Apple Silicon it is just beyond bad. A combination of how Docker spins up a VM, the state of Linux on ARM (especially on the M1) and the complexities of when you need to compile stuff that doesn’t have native ARM versions is just a mess. If Apple cared about this segment, I'd think they would contribute some resources to either improving Docker or doing native macOS containers built with Unix, but I just don’t think they do.

This is one reason I'm keeping my 2020 iMac (10-core i9, 128GB of RAM, AMD Radeon Pro 5700XT) around for a long time, even though I just ordered a 64GB 32-core GPU 14” MacBook Pro . (I have an AMD Ryzen 5900X with an Nvidia 3080 as my gaming PC too.)

If your primary interface is containers, I don’t necessarily think the M1 series machines are the best. But for lots of other tasks, it’s really just astounding.
I'd am happy to deal day by day with the microservice based app we are developing (. NET, Postgres, Redis, Nats, Docker, Kubernetes, Consul) but I'd hate to deal with a Javascript framework.

GTK is not required on Linux for FreePascal GUIs.

See MSEIde, which is directly X11:
https://github.com/mse-org/mseide-msegui

"MSEgui is a complete independent Free Pascal widgetset. It does not use any other widgetsets like GTK2/GTK3/Qt4/Qt5. MSEgui interacts on Unix directly with X11 server (like other widgetsets do). On Windows, it deals with the low level Windows GDI interface."

Although a separate windowing set than Lazarus, both are enabled by the FreePascal compiler.

Lazarus does have a GTK backend as an option on Linux.

Einstein writes hypothesis. Hypothesis gets submitted to peer review. Peer review passes and grows in acceptance. Peers challenge the idea and try to poke holes, better proving the hypothesis stands. Peers test implications of hypothesis. Eventually this becomes a theory and consensus is born. That's science working in action. Science depends on consensus. Consensus doesn't mean you're right, but it does mean that no one can find a serious flaw.
Asimov wrote a nice essay about this topic: https://chem.tufts.edu/AnswersInScience/RelativityofWrong.ht...

Please, please - could people stop making this analogy?

Cars are not phones, and will never be. American lower class or Chinese middle class are not going to shell out $70k for a new toy every two years. Cars are not going to be made with 60% margins. You cannot wear a car in your pocket to show it off to your relatives or business partners.

Apple's business model, in short - is selling mediocre hardware for premium prices, and mask it with excellent software. Optimizing software to make it 10x better, faster, using less battery - fairly common. For any activity that interfaces with the physical world - forget it - we're tapped out, making 2-5% improvements per year. No amount of refinement will make a $20k econobox sellable for $60k
