It happened because at some point in the past (around 10 years ago I believe), the memory vendors decided that it was ok to design product with known "pattern sensitivity", because...I suppose they made more money that way and no customer complained loudly. Pattern sensitivity in memory chips is a very old problem, and previously was treated as a fatal design error, fixed and the affected chips used for parking lot infill. But today every chip sold is affected. Basically the same as Boeing and the MAX, just fewer people killed.
> Of course not. Nothing needs to be explained or justified anymore. We have an entire generation so fully confident in the absolute correctness and obviousness of every single iota of their many strongly held moral opinions that even asking for an explanation offends them.

Just to be clear hear, we're talking about parents being able to take care of their newborns and not being forced back to work after "2-4 weeks" as the OP stated.
Adding on to this, WebRTC really doesn't work well, especially on mobile. Also, you can't set the volume on video and audio elements on mobile, which really limits what you can do. The audio context implementation is also pretty buggy.
I think a more favourable interpretation is “Taste is multidimensional and complex but to show it exists it is sufficient to show it exists for the simplest to prove dimension. Technical talent is that least subjective dimension. Argument follows.”
My understanding is that they used cloud functions. Code is being executed on someone else's server, not the client, so the keys don't have to be shared with the client.
In the antArctic the temperatures can get very close to the freezing point of C02. A little bit of extra energy (nuclear or wind?) would be enough to freeze atmospheric C02 into solid blocks. Would there be any easy and inexpensive way to store those blocks long term? Under the ice sheets? Bottom of the ocean? Send it into space on Musk's rockets?
The M1 family certainly doesn't go into the direction of less cores, and even if you had a single one you could probably rowhammer during your timeslice and then patiently wait for the target process to execute. Since even individual computers execute random garbage code straight from the Internet (e.g. JS), there is still a needed for internal security.

That being said, and even if I consider that a quite different subject, I agree that the current efficiency story of Intel is not very good, but I hope they will improve in a not so far future. The dev lifecycle of CPUs is quite long and it seems to be an obvious target. I suspect they will be forced to improve their efficiency, because that's actually were the performance potential is today (the current dissipation level of their last desktop CPUs is not reasonable, and prevents scalability). And trying to lower the core count also can yield to high consumption, e.g. if you want your performance back by increasing the frequency. Wide and "slow" is needed, and it is harder to increase the internal number of execution units per core and have them actually used, than to increase the core count -- plus ironically one way to do that is through HT, which goes against your wish to share less hardware. (Now if you compare their P-core and E-core in Alder Lake the story is more complicated, but their marketing figures seem very strange, so I won't conclude anything for now. The current instances of P-core we have is for that weird desktop market with unreasonable high TDP anyway.)

Now if you really want miniaturized individual computers that would not be shared at all, I'm not sure the market will actually go into that direction because big systems will continue to be needed (and clusters are a niche mostly for HPC), and I'm not sure a "slightly more secure on smaller systems" market would be interesting enough. Esp. in an era of chip shortage. And also because it would still be bigger than a shared equivalent system make with the same techs... But if that's really a niche that has to be addressed, I suspect it would mostly be a matter for Intel to create new small and slower SKUs ("slower" compared to their desktops insanities) -- they even kind of have that already, but yes the physical miniaturization aspect is not handled yet -- that does not really depends that much on the cores, though. And even in those computers, I'm not sure there would be much demand for very low core counts. The threading of pretty much all workloads tends to increase, nowadays.

One last point, after the e.g. Pentium 4 fiasco nobody really left the IPC race. AMD had some difficulties when trying "weird" ideas (part of which were because of their marketing communication), and then again a completely new design from scratch to market takes time. In general there was a pause of performance growth around 2016 for a few years, and that was mostly Intel having process problems and the rest of the industry catching up (and then overtaking them).
yes I had some of the same sentiments as this article and F# recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28868104

under market, no. but due to locality there are a lot of different real estate markets. dragging prices of wyoming into the dataset when you are interested in nyc or sf makes just no sense. then you have the problem of the different types of new constructions too. i don't see how averaging helps here.

at least where i am looking (european country), cities have roughly seen a 100% price increase since 2010. income hasn't kept up with inflation or the housing prices.
> "Pessimists, on average, are probably smarter than optimists. They're also poorer."

This is only true, I feel, under capitalism.

Pessimism saves lives when you are living close to nature. Only the positive idiot does not tread lightly over a frozen lake or a bear infested forest. And they usually end up dead.

Especially for states where the coast is one of the defining characteristics of the state. :)

For the final map I think that coast could have been increased in size. But you're right that could have had cascading effects.

Given my working class background, she's spot on. If you don't have paid leave, you don't have time to see the doctor. Thousands of people die every year just because they don't have time to see a doctor since they're too busy making Subway sandwiches or whatever.

She supported her point rather well, post pregnancy complications are extremely common and it shouldn't be a shocker to say you should have time to handle those.

> I really only use earbuds for sport. In my opinion, that's what they are for.

People have different ears. People have different needs. Maybe if you talked to more people about why they used earbuds instead of headphones - you’d know that earbuds can be for anything.

Simple reasons like not wanting headphone hair are reason enough to not use headphones. Same for other aesthetic reasons. Personally, I am not a bigger user of earbuds either because I have small ear canals that don’t play nicely with most in-ears but I 100% understand why people would use them for more situations than headphones. I frequently wish I could use in-ears because I also wear glasses and overear headphones do not play nicely with my glasses. Again, so simple to think about as to why use earbuds over headphones…
Perhaps you have the old view of .NET?

In fact there is more reinventing the well in go because all the std lib is just that… a library. When you need all the fluff around parsing routes, validating objects, preventing XSRF and a multitude of common solved problems, you have to reach for third party.

While I will agree that it takes a long time to reach everywhere with new features in Maps, I'd say the recent macOS Monterey update was a major improvement in performance/reliability, so the article doesn't really resonate for me.

I IMMEDIATELY noticed the improvement in application startup times after upgrading and have seen a big difference between my work laptop (macOS Catalina) and my personal laptop (macOS Monterey). Everything has been more stable in Monterey for me personally. I've noticed that the weird occasionally-crash-my-laptop-when-using-a-dock bug has been resolved. Connecting my AirPods has become more reliable and the connection doesn't flake out anymore.
Same experience. The amount of css "quirks" I have to work around trying to get a site "mobile friendly" is absurd. The navbar issue, and the scrolling still not being disabled with overflow:hidden makes me bang my head against the wall.
I think one could argue there is an objective good taste even if every attempt in society to find it results in quite different subjective approximations.
What is funny you could still buy this helicopter, Schweizer 300, brand new up to 2002 as it was designed in 1955! ~Same carbureted engine with zero automation and 40L/h fuel consumption. No engine governor means pilot manually controls engine rpm, you are the ECM having to correct for air temp and pressure altitude, worry about icing and manifold pressure.

All thanks to stupid US aviation policies - recertification is so expensive nobody does it and everyone flies dangerous shitboxes despite >50 years of innovations.
This tool presents itself as a much faster and ergonomic alternative to shell pipelines with sed.

e.g.

rg foo --files-with-matches | xargs sed -i 's/foo/bar/g'

becomes

gsub "foo" "bar"

And runs significantly faster.

I don't know if I'll install it, but it's an interesting concept.
I am a hearing person. Me and some friends have made learning ASL one of our hobbies over the last couple years. I highly recommend it, it's very fun! It also opens a window into the deaf world that I find really fascinating.

There is a joke in the deaf world that hearing people are emotionally repressed. I don't think it's taken seriously, but it's because speaking ASL requires you to be so expressive with your face and body. For example, instead of raising the pitch of your voice to indicate you are asking a question, you raise or furrow your eyebrows (raised for a yes/no question, furrowed for an open-ended question). You also don't say things like "I REALLY like it", you just say "I like it" and show the REALLY part with your face and body. It's understandable how hearing people could look like a bunch of emotionless drones with that context! Learning to be visually expressive is one of the most fun parts about ASL.

As with the football team in the article, using ASL around hearing people can feel like a super-power. Imagine saying to your friend, "This place sucks, let's get out of here," while the bartender is right in front of you! Probably not the most polite thing, but useful. It's also great if you're somewhere crowded and/or loud. You can really zone out the noise and have a conversation.

Also, doing simple things like spelling people's names can be a fun party trick (for hearing people).

Anyway, I just wanted to emphasize that as a hearing person, there was so much more to learn about ASL and the deaf community than I thought there was. I can't recommend it enough.
I'd expand your reasoning to include organizational complexity, which sometimes overrides technical factors.
That was my entire point - it is not optional anymore. When your state ID is managed by Apple, is this not obvious?
What you're implying is highly unlikely since browser performance doesn't change so dramatically every few weeks as to make your claim possible.

My brother-in-law had to travel for work and left his car with us. It's a 2020 Honda Civic.

The tire pressure warning light came on when I drove it a week ago. I checked the tires, only 1 was 2 PSI low. I filled it up in my garage and then drove it to run some errands, thinking that it would detect the correct pressure and reset the warning light. Nope.

I check the manual and there is some tire pressure monitoring system in play that requires an arcane sequence of button presses on the touchscreen display to start the reset process and then the car is required to be driven around for up to an hour between 55 and 60 miles per hour.

I can't believe that people accept this sort of shit. Who has time for this sort of shit? I know that these sorts of systems aren't new but this is much worse than the last time I encountered one of these "drive at X speed for Y minutes/miles" systems. And this isn't preventing operation of the vehicle, it's just annoying.
If only bring frugal were as simple as you make it sound. The food industry has optimized how cheap food can get both in price and nutritional content. If you eat the cheap stuff, you WILL develop health issues, which will compromise your ability to work and your child's development.
It depends on how concerned are you about the regular security issues. Which ideally depends on the things you are responsible for. If it's your family photos in iCloud? Nah. If it's the nuclear launch codes for the whole world? Then yeah, you should already be isolating separating compartmentalizing...
> Some parsers will take just the first text element

Those are not in compliance with the relevant spec. We need to treat them as damage and confront them on the technical and social level.
Fair enough. My point was if they do fall out, they just dangle from the cord - they don't fall to the floor like AirPods (which is annoying if they fall into subway tracks, or if they fall onto the road while you're on a bicycle).
I never demanded "copius evidence" I asked a clarifying question. If you are going to make specific claims, people might ask for evidence of those claims. It's not confirmation bias to ask for supporting details, quite the opposite.

> Why is it a big assumption that most people don't need to know "This is by Michelangelo and he is a high status artist" to enjoy the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (or whatever else)?

This is an entirely different statement than your original comment. Of course, you don't need to know Michelangelo to "enjoy" the Sistine Chapel, nobody argued otherwise. Your claim was that, "A Michelangelo work will win even if the viewer doesn't know it's Michelangelo or even who that is." This implies a measure of comparison to something or someone else, which is far different than enjoying a single piece of art.

Surely, there are people who prefer Bertoldo di Giovanni [1] to Michelangelo.

I left that team a couple of months ago but keeping all the different iterations of .NET separate is one of my gripes. The documentation is some of the worst I've ever seen and I simply have no patience for it when I have so many other tools that I can use to get the job done with less friction.
Howdy HN, while this is on page #1 I figure I should "strike while the iron is hot" and talk about the book club service that I recently launched on https://bookworm.club [1]. Long story short, instead of a traditional book club, where you get together and vote on what book to read next (or don't have any say in what the next book is) I wanted to build a service that would automagically match you with other people around the world who also happen to be reading the same book as you. I think it has the potential for some very interesting conversation and connection making! The way it works is you just tell us what you're reading (or let us track your currently reading list on Goodreads) and we match you up with anyone else also reading that and help you organize a meeting to discuss the book. Feedback welcome. And sorry if anything on the site breaks... I'm a technical writer by trade, not an engineer. Although I consider myself fairly technical this is probably one of the biggest technical projects I've created to date. An eye-opening experience! I have a little more information about the book club service at [3].

[1] As you can tell from the history of the site, I originally wrote the salt post in 2018 and then didn't do anything for a few years. I recently quit my job and took a 1-year sabbatical (which will probably end up being only 9 months) [2] and finally invested the time/energy to build the book club service I had been kicking around all this time. The blog is my place to discuss interesting ideas from whatever books I'm reading (such as this fascinating "resulting" idea [4] I learned from Thinking In Bets). If you would like to contribute to the blog I am open to that possibility (just dig around on the site or my personal site to figure out how to contact me).

> hard to write programs in it, because you will need to learn good patterns first, which may take years.

People really underestimate the time it takes for devs to figure this out. My company has been on TypeScript for over three years now and it's a giant mess. Everything is arbitrarily typed with no design philosophy or organization behind anything. Which leads to these massive interfaces with every single field being optional. Which means you're still doing run-time checking all over the place.

I've always maintained that if your team sucks at organization then no amount of tooling will save them. You're not so much working as a team but as bitter enemies. Possibly the turnover is too high in the company. You have mercenaries rather than ideologues. Not that I'd want to work with a team of pure zealots. But there should be enough people holding the architecture in place. It helps morale as well. You don't want to work on a project that no one gives a shit about.
I have a 5 week old son. I'm lucky enough to be able to quit my job to help mum look after him because we don't have any family nearby to help. It's still a struggle with both of us doing it full-time! I have no idea how single mothers cope. I've no idea how people can work in the early months of parenting a child. I'm in the UK and had 2 weeks parternity leave - it's really not enough!
Yeah you might be right about that. But that still doesn't make it anything close to a "hostile takeover".
Perhaps this is a case of metrics getting ahead of reality. Some circles have taken as an axiomatic truth that any disparity in wages between males and females is an intrinsic scandal. Perhaps there are some reasons for that, for example the tradeoff between forcing mothers back into the workforce vs. giving them ample time (order of 12 months) to recover and take care of the new born. For the not parents out there, a new born requires feeding every 2-3 hours. Expecting a mother to feed on that schedule and perform as an employee is inhuman.
Same here. I've been using the Spanish layout for fifteen years now, and it's so natural to use with a QWERTY layout and diacritics even on uppercase.
Can you expand a bit? Some quick Googling didn't reveal anything useful to me -- what exactly are you talking about?
Here's the original spec in Interleaf v5 format and a few thousand pages of notes and emails. We might have a 25 year old PC we can boot to print that.

That said, all that code has been running for 3 or 4 decades and anything that gets ported will have a shelf life of < 10 years.
It was a recent software addition.

Another neat new feature is screen sharing in FaceTime. But there’s a huge list of improvements, it’s clear they’re investing heavily in software.
I recently tried to block YouTube ads on an iPad and failed. Equally surprised to see OS updates bring new feature changes that simply cannot be disabled (tab/app groupings). I mean there aren't that many Safari/iOS config options to choose from to begin with! What an insanity.

Not sure why you thought that, but mods didn't do anything to that post.
> Or is it just because there's more software around?

I think there's _less software around_, insofar as there's fewer discrete software titles around, but each title has far, far more software code behind it.

I remember as a sprog, running my cracked copy of Adobe Photoshop 6.0 - that in order to do anything "cool" in PS (especially when you just can't grok how to paint, even with a Wacom) you needed a huge smattering of third-party Photoshop plug-ins: Alienskin, Kai's Power Tools, Flaming Pear, FilterFactory, etc - but nowadays while plug-ins are still a thing I find myself getting-by with only Photoshop's stock functionality. It certainly doesn't help that Apple continues toward completely locking-down their platforms: in-proc and binary plug-ins for Photoshop on iOS will never be a thing.
I did and would do it again.

These are exactly the population that should be protected. If you wanted to give them agency, which I support, let them manage their own whitelists instead of throwing up hands in defeat.
