While I’m not well versed in that particular aspect of Apple’s support I did find this:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/metal/migrating_op...

And would love to talk with you about my use-cases as well as if there’s any possibility for me to dive in head first and work with you to port your code for this context if you deem it possible.

Been looking for a good reason/project to dip my toes in Swift/Metal and regardless of wether it’s working with you or not, I might pursue this on my own time to make something that fits my needs (as well as scratching the itch of tackling something new)
This is very interesting. For years I've been primarily working on LOB software and always wished for such a movement.

My thought stream in no particular order:
I intentionally make these comments before reading the complete documentation, as I'll forget some higher-level thoughts.

1- Adding schema to the DBMS is a big step. Suddenly most queries become much simpler and generating them dynamically even more so.

2- The schema you have designed helps a lot on the server-side. If this schema can be extensible (that is, people can make extensions by allowing extra information in the schema that the DBMS ignores, similar to comments) and available to an authorized user, people can create great tools for the client-side as well.

3- A surprisingly huge portion of developer time is spent on building data administration tools, even in projects and companies that are focused on something else.

4- It is vital to allow the developer to take control and query the underlying Postgresql whenever needed. Most huge abstractions that are all or none are doomed to fail in non-trivial ways. I'm throwing away Prisma integration of my company's project because they did not provide enough extension points, hooks and all the other ways to use the full power of the database. So as soon as you need something they don't support, you have to bypass the whole abstraction layer.
It's just different use cases. Backdoors are more useful for targetted operations or specific data exfiltration, while plugging yourself to back bones is more useful for mass surveillance.

I don't even see why it's controversial to hold this opinion. Reading some comments, people seems to feel offended we could think that from the USA.

If anything, the USA are, with Russia and China, among the countries anybody in Europe like me would suspect the most about pulling things like this. The CIA and NSA have a terrible reputation, and the track record to support it.

We are talking about a country that went to war while lying about WMD against the UN vote, made money with south american cocaine while organizing coup after coup, elected Bush and Trump yet punished Chelsea Manning. A country that is still under the temporary 9/11 Patriot act, it used to mass spy on its entire population.

Of course I'm assuming the worse from them.

And yes, it's fair.

Actually, even if I were proven to be completely wrong in 10 years, it still would have been fair.

But I'm not even assuming that only from the US, but basically from any gov, including mine. Because history taught us that's what power does.

It's sane to be suspicious of people in power. Necessary for democracy, even.
The UN was also giving them subsidized shipping rates via the UPU. And as they exploited the subsidies in increasingly-vast numbers, domestic shipping had rates to be increased yet more to compensate. It was cheaper to ship from China than domestically in the US. Basically a tarriff on domestic goods. What do you expect businesses to do? Even if manfacturing wasn't cheaper, it would still be cheaper overall to manufacture there.

Trump finally withdrew from the UPU in 2018 and ended the subsidies.
Because Google controls the vast majority of phone manufacturing on the planet: They have to approve every new hardware model. I think if Google said it was dropping support for Qualcomm in new models of phones unless an extended support lifecycle was reasonably offered, that Qualcomm would respond with "okay, bye".

Google likes to hide behind "the OEMs make those kinds of decisions", but it's not reality: The Android MADA still gives them complete control of every Android hardware platform sold with support for Play Services.

And, considering Google is one of the three most valuable companies on the entire planet, sitting on massive piles of cash stashed everywhere they can possibly stash it to avoid paying taxes.... Google can afford to pay for support if it wants to.

If Google wanted to support phones more than three years, it would do that. It doesn't want to, and it's time to stop pretending otherwise.
I hear what you are saying--if launches were easy they could have dropped a bunch of expensive constraints. But consider that if launch costs were truly the bottleneck for JWST, they'd have just thrown more money at the launch budget and got a bigger / fancier rocket. I'm no rocket science person but I'd assume you can scale launch capacity by throwing more money at it--it's generally a solved problem whose risks are much better understood than whatever JWST is doing. It makes sense to throw money at things to reduce risk like larger launch vehicles, regardless of their cost.

JWST is expensive because it does stuff that has never been done before. Lots of "unknown unknowns" that you need to make "known unknowns" Anything like this will be expensive--same is true for software even. You are working in uncharted water--risks are everywhere.

If they could have dropped a bunch of their constraints and reduced program risk by throwing money at a fancier launcher, they'd have done it. The fact they didn't suggests that the cost & risk wasn't constrained by the launch.

Now maybe you could argue that "if there was only a way to make it serviceable using cheap rockets"--then yeah maybe they could drop some of the more expensive and risky constraints. But however many years ago when this project started, such a thing was not even on the horizon. Only in the last few years has such a thing even begun to seem feasible. Perhaps future missions can relax their constraints because suddenly technology makes repair "easy". But JWST didn't emerge in that environment.
FreeBSD creates a branch off current very close to a major release. So work for a new major release happens on current. At some point current blocks new features and focusses on fixing bugs. Then a branch for the major version is created and current can work on the next major release.

After that, minor releases mostly contain backported material.
I think because most people give very short descriptions in their standups i.e. "Working on x today, with a bit of y, no blockers". Perhaps due to things mentioned in the article, people don't want to or feel the need to invite feedback
SSBNs have a launch depth that is much shallower than the Marianas Trench... This isn't the Abyss.
Meanwhile, NYTimes found that when they sold "contextual" web ads, as GP suggests, their ad revenue went up.

If you step back, it makes sense that contextual ads perform favorably vs. run of site or even retargeted (especially since retargeting, by the time it picks up on what you searched for, mostly shows you what you already bought thus no longer need).
Ehh, I am more worried about the mobile games that exploit kids to pay to play, give nothing back, and teach no skills.
Modafinil is simply amazing for jet lag, too. And by "simply amazing" I really mean "the cure" at least for me.
> MPD uses icecast to make the stream available in my local network

What is the latency like? I tried something like this but there was so much lag between a remote control input and player state changes that it was unbearable.
Building it yourself is the best way to tune it to your personal preferences and to reduce the cost.

What is your budget?
If you can spare a few weekends I think it is worth it, but I usually enjoy building things so I might be somewhat biased...

70% is not a thing AFAIK, there are 60% 65%, 75% and TKL.
Actually it's pretty common nowadays to have printers on an isolated VLAN. The only way "onto" that network is through a central printing management server that handles billing/accounting and job release duties.

You see it often in Universities, but also in larger businesses where you want to stop someone from accidentally printing 5000 copies instead of 50, or having print jobs stack up on top of each other in the output tray (think HR/sensitive information being scooped up by accident.)
You're not wrong, but the details on how they could hire outside contractors to save their certification and the details on how this won't harm actual patients--the only conceivable grounds for the temporary injunction as far as I'm concerned--coupled with the judge dismissing the injunction are things I find very persuasive.

Some of the details in there can also be cross-checked with other things, like that posting on r/nursing.

So you present a very good point that we can't take anyone's reply as gospel truth, but in this case, we do have significant corroboration for the points made in this.

The points I can actually verify are more than enough for me to say that ThedaCare is full of crap and deserves to go out of business. I know that I won't be patronizing them, given any reasonable choice in the matter.
Google's business is selling ads, Apple's business is selling hardware.

Too many customers don't know the difference between buying an appliance and something to watch ads from Google.
We lived right on Hood Canal a few miles south of the sub base in the early 80s. Such a beautiful, peaceful place but pretty much right at ground zero. As a high school student I worked a summer at the Naval Undersea Warfare and Engineering station. We even had our Senior Prom at the on-base restaurant there at Bangor.
That sounds very interesting, is the anywhere I can read more about this optimization? I didn't know any compiler could do optimizations like that.
(er, some text in the parent seems to have vanished)

Sure, if you absolutely wish it to, in an `unsafe` block, you can define two writeable pointers to the same piece of data. I don't think I've ever seen anybody write such code in Rust (except perhaps when linking to a C library that required it?), nor have I ever felt the need to do so.

Now, it is true that Rust is designed to discourage writing cyclic data structures. I can imagine that trying to port (rather than redesign) an algorithm that deeply requires cyclic data structures, that will make your life miserable.
Read the post, not the Tweet lol.
Many open-source libraries are developed and maintained by academia,and academia often insists that citation reach is a metric for impact and job security. Using an open-source library or tool might be the critical difference between producing research results or not.

Software is applied computation research, and if using a published research method is enough to warrant citation, then using an open-source library certainly warrants inclusion.

If the world isn't going to come up with ways to monetarily fund open-source, giving open-source developers the tools to help them compete in academia is a great move.
Sending kids out to deliver papers or work in burger restaurants is also a good experience for them, even if it’s unpaid.

The reason child labor is illegal is not because we’re under the wrong assumption that work experience itself is bad for them.
We're Launching – we would like your feedback (will trade feedback for feedback)
We're launching! the dropbox link contains the demo videos and deck.

We'll provide feedback for you if you provide feedback for us!
The database entries could be modified easily

A strange an unfounded accusation.

I collected both of these stories when they came in:

* 16869290 2018-04-25 21:25:32 Stripe announcement
* 16870692 2018-04-25 21:33:27 Bolt announcement

This is immune to any database fiddling. These files are on my own server.
I am having trouble with the mapping? I presume this touches on the orm impedance problem? Unless sqlite dictates the json format. But then it probably won’t be the json you like to deal with?
Show HN: Moderator,lightweight peer4peer anon forum
hello all! here's a link to my little pinteresting like forum that stores no data on the server and uses IPFS for image storage.

The design aesthetic is that everything would in 64kb of memory so we're going for a collapse-proof low bandwidth experience. this makes moderator really fast.

https://moderator.rocks is the web preview, a flutter client is in the works at https://github.com/hoodownr/atacama

take a look, post something fun, ask questions.

I'm also on twitter @moderatorium in case interested. Have fun!
Not a single one of my friends or family (n=50) has asked me for phone recommendations in the past 4 years (and I can only recall two recommendation requests ever).

It's certainly not common enough that you see mentions about it on HN or Reddit - and yet, you see mentions of adjacent things like requests for tech support. So, it's clearly not very common.
How about expecting at least 1 year of service for every $150 in the price of the phone.
> (BMI takes height into account)

Does it do that correctly though? I've always wondered why the formula is not w / h^3, since I imagine your weight should scale cubicly with your height.
Surely the much smaller individual sums spent on something like Xbox consoles is far greater in the aggregate than a few Lambos?

As soon as you get into rating the worthiness of a spend it becomes a bit puritanical.

The ironic thing is that I mostly agree with you, but judging others ‘wasted’ spend is too slippery a slope to go down.
The most inflammatory expression wins out via natural selection, because the others are less repeated and retweeted.

Anyway, "Anti work" may as well be parsed as "Anti The-Kind-Of-Bullshit-Work-We've-Been-Doing". A totally reasonable interpretation.
You need access to the software that runs those SOCs which is owned by Qualcomm. Qualcomm isn't just going to give the sourcecode of those SOCs for Google engineers to tinker around with it. It creates all kinds of crazy legal problems.

It's not just the main Android OS that needs to be patched, the chips have their own proprietary software too.

The problem is that after 3 years, most of those chips have gone EOL and QC wants to put their resources into developing new chips because that's where the revenue comes from (e.g. how they pay their employees). Meanwhile new security flaws keep getting discovered on EOL chips that provide zero new revenue.

So what do you want here? Do you want the break neck pace of innovation to continue which is ultimately very good for everyone? Or should we spend all of our time making sure your Apple IIc still has security patches for 2022? At some point you just have to move on and that's just the trade you make for all technology. You can't simultaneously benefit from this cycle and then bemoan it. If all we ever did was make security patches for your Commodore and AppleIIc you wouldn't have a Pixel3.

I have kids and need a raise each year to afford to buy them the things they need while still having a hope of retiring one day.

"The new job might seem great at first, then turn out to be a nightmare a couple of months in"

This is pretty much most of my jobs. The current one is probably the nicest I have had in a long time but I still need a raise as the thought of working until 65 just to be old and then die fills me with existential dread.
I haven't heard about Project Treble till your comment. A quick google:

"Project Treble (take a deep breath) is Google's ambitious effort to rearchitect Android in order to establish a modular base in which the lower-level code created by silicon vendors is separated from the main Android operating system"

As in abstracted away hardware code? As in...how operating systems have been built since before TikTokers were even born?
Why not go for a much larger folding mirror?
Saying theft and copyright violation are different morally is not suporting copyright violation. It is to ask as the difficulty of copying wanes, perhaps it is time to rebalance giving up the right to copy in exchange for more innovation. When the right to copy was traded in exchange to protect publishers, it was a lot harder to copy stuff, so relatively less was sacrificed. Now copying things is super easy and crucial to normal work flows.

And yet taking a snap of a museum artifact still is quite distinct from stealing someones pen.

I mean, there's been plenty more indicators boding unwell for our future. Arguably much different and more important, but NFT's aren't really that remarkable if you consider the tulip craze or gold rushes.
Anyone have an estimate of the numbers of dolphins and sea lions currently "enlisted"? I can't find numbers anywhere.
The amount of privacy one can expect in public is slightly more than zero, even in countries with very lax privacy law like the US.
You mean the warehouse/app credentials, when you say sync configurations? If so, yes, that seems like a great idea. Infact I think your warehouse credentials are already there in your dbt repo in a specific format. Castled can directly read those credentials from there.
From what I remember, the Nexuses 5x had a manufacturing error, which caused them to spontaneously desolder some components from the board, resulting in the bootloop. This was a problem in a lot (maybe even most) phones. Mine was in a bootloop too. There was a class action about it too, see if you may still be able to claim cash: https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2018/1/31/16957332/l...
You are still starting from your own learned context. Other languages than English have different word order conventions. As a simple extreme example, in classical Latin the main verb generally is placed last in the sentence.
You actually can't define two `&mut` references to the same data in Rust. It's invalid Rust code; if the compiler notices, it'll refuse to compile, and if it doesn't notice, your code will randomly break.
So they were invited to apply again, but declined, and are just now complaining about the power exercised?
Let me know when you find such an ecosystem. Google bans it too, they only get a pass because you can enable sideloading.
Mostly the water provided by the municipality is drinking water quality in Europe. But sometimes the building and its water pipes will be so old that the pipes leak metals into the water.
This sounds just like the headaches I had about a year ago using ESM for isomorphic code, with node. The only thing that ever worked was, of course, Babel.
That actually looks pretty good, thanks for the recommendation. What I meant to emphasize was that I like having zero overhead to making commits, and vscode does this better than anything I've used. If I was so inclined, I could just use VScode as the default diff viewer and that would be fine, but I really like having it right there while I'm coding without having to go to any other app.
It doesn't need to be very accurate. As long as the values are the same order of magnitude it is probably okay.
Though I don't agree with all of it, this is an insightful article. The people are the problem. Technological solutions that ignore our human foibles are extremely likely to fail.

What it ignores is that by acting as a lever, technology can allow small groups to route around the madness of humans. Like any concentration of power, this is for better, and for worse.

It's also important to note that doing the hard endless work of learning from people, in all their variety, forging alliances, conducting diplomacy, convincing people to do stuff they don't currently want to do etc. is work that few people are drawn to.

Yeah, I think it's a stain on our humanity that people still die of hunger, or don't have access to clean drinking water. That said, I know that it's easier to build an orbital rocket company than to actually solve the human problem. It's also more fun day to day.

Humans are a fricken mess, and I got into tech in part to get away from these troublesome upjumped Chimpanzees.
I don't disagree with you, but I think it's worth pointing out that there is a pragmatic benefit to gendered pronouns.

You can think of pronouns as sort of like `$?` in bash or `_` in Python's interactive shell. They give you a short way to refer to a previously mentioned noun. When you have more than one of these "special variables", you can use them more often as long as they conveniently get uniformly distributed across the previously mentioned nouns.

So, in English, you can say:

"Blaine Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff Sr. gave Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk Koyaanisquatsiuth Williams a sweater for Christmas. She liked his gift."

The second sentence can use two pronouns because they happen to be unambiguous. With only a single pronoun, that sentence ends up like:

"Rhoshandiatellyneshiaunneveshenk liked Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff's gift."

(This is obviously an extreme example for comedic effect.)

This is also why Romance languages have noun gender for inanimate objects where actual biological gender isn't meaningful. It's not about genitals, it's about scattering a few pronouns uniformly across the noun space.

Of course, one might rightly argue that gender is not a good mechanism to use for your pronoun distribution. We could do something like shells do where we assign pronouns based on recency of the mentioned noun. Or some other system.

But my point is that gendered pronouns aren't completely bananas. They serve a pragmatic function.
This sounds super exciting. I can’t help but wonder though... The language sounds weird. Maybe that’s because the person writing has Asperger’s, but it almost sounds like how a NT person would think someone with Asperger’s would talk. We probably need to move into the mode of requiring extraordinary evidence before we get to excited.

One thought that might explain mixed study results, aren’t there like half a dozen kinds of autism? I would imagine that if the study failed to account for the difference the results could be inconsistent.

It seems like a promising area of research though.
You mean Roblox and the games the kids make on Roblox to make more pretend money in Roblox to use in the roulette market hoping to win it big?

Yes, there’s a lot there to be worried about.
Yes. I do this because interactions with others are a net negative at my place of work. In terms of quantifiable rewards, 99% of interactions are +5 or +10, etc, mixed in with the occasional -15000. In the end the expected value of interactions is negative. All because of one or two very bad interactions a year; the rest being positive, but close to neutral.
"A bad actor within the manufacturer" and "the manufacturer itself" are entirely different threats. There's no particular reason why Google would be more exposed to that sort of bad apple than Apple, or any other provider.
Thank you... frustrating we do not help by putting the statement into the title and write "bait-like" wording to get clicks and traffic. Now also the server is down so I get no value and no insight.
Another question, how are people actually using Typescript with Svelte? It seems like you can't use $some.prop = avalue, it can't be type checked, so wtf is the point of using Typescript with Svelte?
I actually know someone developing technology for this use case. She's hearing impaired and is trying to build an application that transcribes voice to text from a variety of people in a single conversation. Very helpful for her in social situations where she can't lipread multiple people at once, especially if they're wearing masks obviously.
