When I was a kid I'd order things from magazine ad's whenever I could, usually gags and gimmicks, etc. It would take forever from the time you sent in the order form and money. It was always so exciting the day the package arrived and your goods were finally in your possession.

I don't really understand your point. The impressiveness of M1/Pro/Max is what they do holistically for the power draw. The CPU + GPU + other accelerators combined and across the board approach what powerful desktops can do even with discrete power guzzling components. This is not about a single aspect of the silicon.

So sure, you can cherry pick one part of the SoC, match it up against one aspect of Chip X and try to make a point. OK, you win that one. I'm talking about what the SoC as a whole does while running near-silently off a battery.

Yes, a desktop gives you the ability to have more CPU cores. I'm sure that's what we'll get from whatever Apple decides to ship for its true Pro desktops.
> Our industry is moving away from that feedback force that was forcing developers to agree on interfaces and release stable APIs.

And parts of the industry are beginning to move back and favor stability, as a result of

- numerous NPM packages being taken over by coin miners and other malware - at the scale of some of them, even a ten minute takeover window were millions of installs, and source chain audits are almost impossible

- framework churn being an actual liability for large enterprises - many were burned when AngularJS fell out of love and now they were stuck with a tech stack widely considered "out of date". Most new projects these days seem to be ReactJS where Facebook's heavy involvement promises at least some long term support

- developer / tooling churn - same as above, the constant amount of training to keep up with breaking changes may be tolerable at startup, money-burn phase, but once your company achieves a certain size it becomes untenable

RUAG makes most of the "payload adapters" that integrate the satellite onto the top of a rocket. Based on the size of JWST they're probably using a 1666 model payload adapter.

RUAG's clamp-bands and separation system have a very well characterized Shock Response Spectrum [0, pg. 4], which would have been accounted for in the design of JWST. But the spacecraft and satellite usually separate after the initial shock of the explosive bolt and clamp-band de-tensioning, so they may need to investigate any coupling or recontact of the clamp-band.

If we're lucky they had some accelerometers running during integration and can review actual response data.

The High Frontier: The Untold Story of Gerard K. O’Neill uncovers the legacy of Princeton physicist and space visionary, Dr. Gerard K. O’Neill, who wrote the 1977 book, The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space. The book and O’Neill’s subsequent activism sparked a grassroots movement to build Earth-like habitats in space in order to solve Earth’s greatest crises; a vision that is still alive today. Through old stories of “Gerry” as many called him, and the social impact he made on the world, this documentary pays tribute to the unsung hero of today’s space race, while hoping to inspire all ages and walks of life to reignite our planet’s space venturing spirit.

I'm not arguing you could completely go away with single points of failure when designing a spacecraft while being limited by the payload mass and volume. But the whole JWST unfolding sequence looks like a way too risky gamble to me. Maybe, it was worthwhile to sacrifice some of the scientific payload mass to add more redundancies into the solar shield design and increase the chances the telescope would be able to reach the beginning of its observation process.

There's also the whole "what if we could avoid mass and volume constraints" tangent, that was discussed in the yesterday's Starship article, but it's more of a theoretical consideration for now.

I have traveled in UK extensively this summer since my wife and her family are from there and my experience (as a turban wearing brown dude) has been quite the opposite.

There is way less toxicity in terms of culture war (as long as you don’t live your days reading The Sun or Guardian) and the people generally are very polite and respectful of your background. I think UK Govt has done a far better job in vaccination and earning public trust than US public health officials. The debates around lockdown are also quite nuanced and can be had without my way or high way attitude you see in many US states.

I visited Oxbridge and I don’t think there is any shortage of diverse talent pool there ,compared to say 10 yrs ago it is certainly more diverse now.

UK wasn’t seeing some of the crazy supply chain issues we were seeing, for example in US we couldn’t even rent a car, whereas in UK that wasn’t such an issue.

All of these are anecdotes of course.

That said I think UK has been experiencing much of the same problems structurally- loss of jobs in midland, high housing prices, increasing cost of healthcare funded by taxpayers with NHS which has pretty poor services at this point due to being way beyond capacity.

Presumably you'd delete the installer after you finished installing the app, the same way people do on Windows. Also, the appimage could be compressed in the installer to reduce the size. I haven't worked out all the implementation details, but I'm sure it's doable in a user friendly way.

> It should be, executing random Appimages you've downloaded online is a huge security liability.

That's FUD, nobody is downloading and executing "random" software from the internet (if a trusted developer gives you malware, that's another story). Checksums and/or code signing can add peace of mind. Windows and MacOS have done just fine without any sandboxing whatsoever.

I'm all for sandboxing, but if it isn't being implemented properly, it's just an extra layer of headache on the frustration cake that is Linux software distribution.

You and I maybe, but the average user who just wants to install GIMP isn't going to understand why they'd want to do that. Why should I be suspicious of this app? Is the developer is shady?

One thing that drives me nuts is that enthusiasts of python type hints claim that it means you will no longer give a function the wrong type of value and thus eliminate a class of errors. This should imply that you no longer need to test for those types of problems. Since writing tests is not free, and often not even trivial, this would be a huge benefit of type hints.

But, because type hints are just window dressing in Python, you still have to write those tests. So now when you make a change, you not only have to update your tests but also update your type hints everywhere. As far as I can tell, type hints just double the work for little to no benefit. If they actually removed a need for unit testing, that would be a different story, but then it wouldn't be Python anymore.

If I want to use types to enforce things, I'd prefer to use a language designed for that. But I choose Python because it lets me get things done quickly. Despite helping you out in some cases, overall maintaining type hints are a drag on that feeling of getting things done quickly. The last thing I want to do when writing Python is spend an afternoon composing a complicated TypeVar arrangement to express the full range of inputs my function can handle.

What this article talks about (Protocol) seems to be at least an improvement in that regard, as you can worry about what your function does instead of what your types do.
> The Creator app he runs on the Atari ST is a MIDI sequencer, not a DAW.

I didn't say it was a DAW. I assumed it was a tracker but didn't really look that closely at it.

> The machine is probably not fast enough for realtime sampling.

By the late 80s it was. There were definitely DAWs available for the ST. But Amiga was definitely the king for home sampling.

> For sampling he is very well known for having used a pair of Akai S950s, each with 2.25MB of RAM. You can see them both on the rack behind him with the round yellow stickers. Just in case: this specific model also came out after most of the recording I mentioned.

Well as you later go on to say, Rockefeller Skank was quite a bit later. But both the ST and Amiga were used for sampling. In fact coincidentally there's a discussion on the HN home page right now about doing exactly (re: Trackers). Lots of videos on Youtube of Amiga samplers too.

> Anyway, I was talking about 1986 and 1988... Rockefeller Skank was released in 1998.

Various models of Atari and Amiga were already out and available in the mid-80s and I very much doubt Norman Cook bought his ST new in 1995 to record Rockefeller Skank. But I do take your point that on this specific occasion he wasn't using the ST for sampling and nor was the ST powerful enough when it first hit the market. I believe the Amiga was. Also plenty of hardware sported floppy disk drives too (like the aforementioned Akai S950s). So my point about producers sharing sample disks still stands.

I guess this is a futile discussion though because we'll never really know who sampled Amen, Brother and who borrowed the sample of their mates.

> Either way, it is quite clear that he also samples from vinyl, like I said.

Loads of people sampled from vinyl. I've even done that. I wasn't arguing that didn't happen. All I was saying that there was also a lot of sample swapping going on and given the prevalence of the Amen break I'd wager a lot of producers had the sample included with a percussion set without knowing its origin. I mean it's included in the Hammerhead program exactly like that! I've got stacks of disks floating about of percussion I didn't directly rip.

> Anyway, I don't see how this is relevant to the topic. My point is that the sample was well known and was used in mainstream hip-hop from the beginning, it was never only an "underground secret distributed in disks"... that happened much later than the usage in hip-hop.

It's relevant because I'm saying that I think it was less well known than you claim. I think it appears more well known now because the history of the Amen break is more widely known (the kind of cognitive bias where we think things that we recently learn then seem like obvious facts that we always knew).

You might be right to be honest and it might be my memory of the era that is flawed. :/ However if that is the case then I find it weird that the sample wouldn't have been cleared by their big hip-hop labels and that the Winstons were aware of it's use but nobody cared enough to do anything about it until 10 or 20 years later when it was too late.

There are (at the highest level) two kinds recruiters. Those that work for a company filling that company's internal roles, and those that work for a body shop filling the roles of whatever companies agree to pay them a commission.

The former are usually pretty good. They have an idea what the teams need, even if they don't know the specifics of the individual technologies. They usually have very close relationships with the team managers -- especially at smaller companies where there may only be one or two recruiters and a small number of development teams.

The latter are, by and large, worthless if you're looking for a good tech job. They're salespeople who simply aren't incentivized to learn more than the bare minimum about what they're selling. Especially in the current climate most of the folks getting jobs through them are either extremely junior, or can't get jobs anywhere else. By extension, the only companies who have success using them are getting by with extremely junior or extremely bad developers. This is why I, as a developer with ~12 years of experience in back-end development and distributed systems design get an email or LinkedIn message every 2-3 weeks for a junior or mid-level React or Angular job.
