Does that mean that Apple is Winning over the power users (that) generally precedes larger adoption?

Absolutely not.

Anyway: spending less for the same output is better than spending more for the same output. At least make it scale linearly.

Apple HW doesn't equal double productivity, hence double price is not a price that will appeal general population, but only **some people**

It's not a critique against Apple M1, only to the assumption that a good enough CPU will make wonders on the market.

It won't.
1. Not everything can be declarative. Navigating tree models (file systems, DOM, decentralize relationships) is an inherently imperative task. This doesn't stop developers from forcing declarative abstractions over imperative concerns. It just means a foot gun at maintenance time or passing the buck to somebody else.

2. Legacy paradigms will continue to live, no matter how obsolete or harmful, so long as developers reliant upon those paradigms continue to find employment. Such developers will continue to find employment so long as such paradigms remain in formal education criteria.

3. Software hiring is extremely biased. Such bias will continue until software is perceived as generally harmful by people outside of software hiring. Until such time any attempts to limit bias will be met with maximum hostility, as such only benefits experienced and generally confident incumbents.

4. It is common in software to hate on credentials of any kind except a computer science bachelor's degree, which then becomes a credential. This line of thinking is prolific and extreme enough to view credentials as a form of incompetence regardless of what such credentials are or what they mean, thereby increasing bias.

5. Software will continue to swell and slow so long as the goals of the developers are out of alignment with the end product. Claiming product first goals by developers is not a solution if not reflected by the tool chain and processes.

6. The older the web gets the more costly it becomes to add text content to a commercial webpage.

I’ve read that police simply aren't reporting low level crimes at the rate they used to due to staffing shortages and apathy. I would be curious to see the data too, but I doubt it paints the whole picture.
> knowing either group could cost you money

I'm not a businessman, but I believe Apple's main customers are not governments, so I suppose that it's not good business for Apple to ignore their users' preferences. Governments in most of Apple's marketplaces change every few years, after all.
On a serious note, I think it's a good time to remember to donate some $ to open source, especially the Apache foundation for their incredible work over the years!
>I always say yea I'm on board we should cut medicare and social security

You're evil ;)
Do you have any examples of that happening, innocent people getting arrested for child porn? Never heard of it.

In any case, the police will not arrest anyone because they have only been flagged by the automatic system. As soon as Apple reviews the images that triggered the flagging, they will see that they aren't actually child porn, and hence they won't even contact the police.
Because of the use of UDP, I wonder the variation could end up being wider. There are some large outliers on the chart (though that could be an implementation maturity issue). Also I wonder if the routing environment will continue to be the same in terms of prioritization if http/3 becomes more common. There might be some motivation to slow down http/3 to prioritize traditional udp real-time uses.

The "slightly paranoid and cynical" hypothesis I have is that the reason the whole set of docs looked like something pushed out at 2AM, and that the "Clarification" documents looked like they were written by people operating on a week of no sleep, is because they were. Apple wasn't planning to really bother documenting the "feature," and someone found something sufficiently objectionable to leak it. Maybe someone wanted to turn it on early or something, or the hash database had some "non-CP data" in it, or... I don't know, and probably will never know.

But they decided that releasing what they had was better than letting the leaks run wild - just, it turns out, the actual system was really that bad. The "clarifications" were a wild run of "Well, OK, how can we answer this objection? And that one? Oh, crap, this one too!" - which is about how the later documents read. "We just came up with this idea that might address your objection!"

I'd love to hear the inside story of it at some point, but accept I likely won't.

However, it's been enough to drive me off Apple products. I can only hope enough other people have done so as well to hurt their profits, though it's doubtful. :(
I'm not really sure what you are angry about here because you dont seem to be arguing against the main conceit that bias of whatever form is a factor in constructing these data sets. Is it just that, for you, bias is inevitable and we simply have to toughen up?
My dad told me about getting his polio vaccination during the public health drives of the 1960s. They did an entire grade school in a single day. And there were parents who were furious about it at the time. No progress happens without protest.

But personally, I'm pretty damn thankful for their sacrifice so that we live in a largely polio-free world today.

I'm not sure when "what you can do for your country" got so small that people aren't willing to take the minuscule risk of vaccination side effects in order to gift the substantial benefit to their neighbors. Used to be, selfishness like that made you an asshole.

You described conservatism as moving on and breaking things, that seems to be turned on its head. I would think it is more about gradual changes instead.

Open relationships is a fun topic to discuss, especially on the internet.

For many such relationships are out of the question, perhaps due to insecurities and not being aware of their self-worth or for other reasons. Personally I don't think I want to be engaged romantically with more than one person at a time. Why? Because I do would get jealous and I likewise want to commit myself to someone. For myself and my partner. I also don't really feel a desire to romantically engage others.

But those that advertise open relationships it often comes with some patterns. For once that is mentioning the required emotional maturity and attributing it to participants. That is interesting because I perceive this as fishing for confirmation for personal choices. But perhaps my skepticism has the same motivation. But where do you think you need maturity? I assume it means to accept compromises? Where is that needed in such a relationship?
It looks nice, aesthetically speaking.

It's ironic it declares itself to be semantic, but then tells you to use a link when you need an inline button. I'm guessing because, by default, their buttons are 100% width, which is a really weird default if you ask me.

Also, there are no button or form element sizes? This is essential IMO for anything other than a simple login form.
Truly!

The NASA article on the probe mentions its autonomous course corrections abilities. Does anyone have an idea about what kind of onboard CPUs/SoCs do probes like this employ? Which ISAs? How about other hardware like memory and storage? And what kind of programming languages are used to code such internal "systems".

I'm very curious to see if someone can shed some more light on this.

It depends on the community.

I don't downvote on Reddit. The way the voting system is implemented makes it functionally worthless and I don't see the point. I also barely upvote; I upvote comments that I really like/agree with/want to encourage if they're low scoring. Like comments sharing on a PTSD subreddit; I'll upvote if those are low to encourage people to speak/let them know the lurkers support them in email.

Can't DV on HN with this account, but back in the Dark Ages, I only downvoted here if the comment was either a.) assuming bad faith/attacking a strawman or b.) pulling in what I recognize as a narrative and not leaving space for it to be questioned. (So Twitter level content).

For FB I guess the 'downvote' would be the angry button, but I don't think that's a good comparison, given it is also used for being infuriated on behalf of the comment maker instead of AT them.

Though that comparison now makes me want to compare downvoting behavior to car horns: Both are limited communication devices meant to display displeasure with the actions of a random stranger you might never encounter again...
Even if it didnt, I'm sure you'd be able to realize your mistake while you wait 6-8 weeks for you code to compile.
About particularly that, Wikipedia says "In 2018, a multinational study including Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientists published safety data on adjuvanted pH1N1 vaccines. Sweden was the only country where increased narcolepsy IRs were found in the period after vaccination campaigns. The ability of the researchers to evaluate the Pandremix brand vaccine was limited.", but you can read other ones as well here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemrix#Narcolepsy

It is quite interesting.

You should take a hard look at the criminal justice system of those 'actually progressive' countries because they look a lot more like California than they do Texas.

They tend to spend their money on the social safety net and provide behavioral and physical health care to all people, which is why they don't have a lot of the same issues we do. Crime is up everywhere in this country.

Ehh, when I would introduce people to a rails project, I always got to a point where I said basically what the author says. Usually either while explaining rspec (and `let` especially) or the routes.rb file. Rspec and the routes file are still around, but you used to see that sort of thing a lot more.

My impression is that Ruby libraries have leaned away from DSLs over time. Rails hasnt added a new DSL in a long time, none that I can think of anyway.

Agreed. Next time I'll make the text and other things a little larger too (the real graphs are actually quite large, I had to shrink them to fit the article formatting.) I'd already spent so much time on the article I didn't want to go back and redo the graphs (I didn't really think too many people would read it - it was a big surprise to see it on HN)
I have no idea how much you're making (and no desire to know), but for the sake of the argument let's say it's $6k a month. Try to extrapolate our reality to your own.

I have always found this 'religion justifies war' argument to be somewhat weak. I guess you can say Islamic expansion and the crusades were examples of this but I don't feel these sorts of conflicts would have been prevented by both sides sharing a common religion - there were plenty of wars within Christian Europe or the Islamic world, after all.

Cults are central to culture, it's true but we can still show a lot of conflicts around ethnic, cultural lines that seem to lack a religiously motivated dimension.

I think this line of argumentation should be retired - it's just not robust. It is an attempt to gain the moral high ground by secularists and maybe before the 19th and 20th centuries we could imagine it would be true but there have been too many secualr conflicts of a massive scale to sincerely hold this polemic in 2021.

HTTP/1.1 is so simple that I can just open up netcat and ask a webpage from a website by hand. And this is not even my field.

Now, you can also build a lot of complexity upon it. And while the simplicity is nice for inspecting and debugging sometimes, in practice it is rarely used, and it's a very complex beast with TLS, SSL, gzip compression and more.

The arguments are similar to binary logs vs text logs. Except that in HTTP's case, it is already littered with binary.

Weight and real world battery life would be two things. Almost certainly build quality. The screen almost certainly isn't as nice. Even if the overall 'macro' bench marks are the same, it almost certainly won't beat the Macbook in day to day 'micro benchmarks' I care about like time to open a new terminal, time to run npm install, time to wake when I open the lid, time from login to watching Netflix, time to search the hard drive for file etc. etc. If I need 'real' performance I'll use a chunky Ryzen/Threadripper desktop computer running Linux over any laptop on the market.

Also I just don't trust Windows laptops to go to sleep properly when I shut the lid. With both high end Dell and Lenovo laptops I've on more than one occasion pulled out a scorching hot laptop with a dead battery out of my bag. Never had a Mac do that. It may be a small thing, but I'm willing to pay a pretty decent premium to never have that happen again.

Plus there's the fact that something almost certainly won't just work if I try to install a *nix based operating system on it.

Caddy maintainer here - we still have it marked experimental, not turned on by default. There's still some bugs. The actual HTTP/3 implementation comes from https://github.com/lucas-clemente/quic-go which essentially just has one maintainer at the moment. I'm hoping the Go HTTP team throws some effort on HTTP/3 sooner rather than later.
And in comparison to COVID-19? Do they actually need a vaccine to protect against COVID-19? If not, are we giving it to them in the chance that it reduces spread, or why? It has been said it reduces spread, but this is not what you observe in countries that are >80% fully vaccinated (at least double dose), so I do not get it.

>synaptics gets the job done and libinput doesn't, it's really that simple as far as I'm concerned.

From a maintenance perspective it is unfortunately not that simple. I sympathize with your frustration and personally I too wish it was that simple but it is not. The synaptics driver might be able to do some things better but those things can also cause bugs to manifest in other areas, and have historically done so.

>An example from elsewhere in this thread: "In libinput the edge scrolling is hard coded to 7mm" Somebody please tell this dude that the size of a human finger varies dramatically from person to person. Not everybody has his hands.

Well this is an open source project so you (or anyone else) can tell him if you really want. Have you checked if there is an open feature request on the tracker for this? Or better, can you propose a configuration API that would work well here, and can you help maintain it and test it on the hundreds of devices that it might potentially affect? I checked and I couldn't find any feature requests or proposals for this but maybe I missed something. If you don't want to do this then you may have to wait until somebody else makes the proposal and until the maintainer gets bandwidth to do that non-trivial amount of work, which is prioritized against all the other feature requests that might have been received.

>As for developer workload, the libinput developer could save himself a lot work by not starting his project in the first place. It doesn't seem to do anything better than synaptics so I don't see why it even exists.

But that's not the case at all. I'm sure you understand, there are a lot of other devices out there besides your particular touchpad and synaptics touchpads in general. You may want to read the rest of the libinput developer's blog about some of the motivations behind libinput, it solves very real problems that were directly caused by the synaptics driver. If you never encountered those bugs, that's great for you and you can continue to use it, but this was not how it was for a lot of other users. Remember we're still in this area where a critical project like this is only really being maintained by one developer, if they quit then you're left with no developers working on the input stack at all.
How so? Coffman was one of the "protesters."

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/alabama-man-pleads-guilty-fir...

Coffman admitted in the plea agreement that he exited the pickup truck at 9:20 a.m. and walked in the direction of the U.S. Capitol Building, and towards a rally near the National Mall. Inside the pickup truck were several loaded firearms within arms-reach of the driver’s seat, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, a crossbow with bolts, machetes, camouflage smoke devices, a stun gun and a cooler containing 11 mason jars filled with ignitable ingredients for Molotov cocktail incendiary weapons. Coffman also carried a loaded handgun and a loaded revolver as he walked around the area that day. A search of Coffman’s residence in Alabama later that month led to the discovery of 12 additional mason jars containing ignitable substances, each constituting the component parts of Molotov cocktails.
