No inlining of assembly is required to vastly improve the performance of Go in many such benchmarks. Pool or Arena Allocation are commonly used techniques and whether or not they are "idiomatic" isn't even up for discussion any more since the stdlib includes the former.
No developer can upload anything to the App Store for free. You need to pay $99/year for access.
Because that is the model that Apple has chosen for. If the downloads can be priced or can be free that is Apple's choice. Then they should raise the minimum price for distribution.

Distribution is a one-time expense, and it does not entitle you to a 30% cut of services that use Apps as endpoints. It's a mob move, taxation because you are powerful enough to harm another business, not because you have contributed to the business.
I'm not listening to anybody. I've been talking about the pending inflation every since the US went overdrive with money printing and started handing you money to the entire working population. Maybe I guessed it by mistake but I don't buy that the two (money printing and inflation) somehow overlapped.

Again, if it were a supply issue you would see it in niches. We have inflation on energy, food, everything. The supply and demand for energy and food is about the same. There was no shock there.
Ambiguous whether the bug was known at the time of release by Ubuntu. However, either way, it would have been released by ZFS authors first.
Many would argue that money is the curse of the world, I disagree but see their point.
I think this is a crucial message for young students who feel inferior to that human calculator classmate.
That's definitely one aspect of it, but I've always thought most of that fee is simply for the "privilege" of being a part of the Apple ecosystem, being mostly profit for Apple with a portion going towards the hosting, distribution of the App, search/discoverability aspect.

I can definitely see why this fee and it's associated lock-in upsets many consumers and developers. It's clearly a divisive issue right now, and I am unsure we'll see any resolution to the overall narrative until the EU/US forces Apples hand.
The UK is not an island in any meaningful sense, because we have many of the the busiest airports and we are functionally dependent on imported food.

The idea we could close borders unilaterally before anyone else did is, I'm afraid, nearly delusional. It is a populist fantasy.

We have the worst deaths per capita largely because of the interconnectedness (not the density) of our populations; it is not how many people live in one place, but how many people live in one place and work in another.

This is for example part of why the Czech Republic, which is not at all a poor state -- it has a very low rate of poverty, low unemployment and high rates of GDP growth -- did so incredibly badly, after an initial phase of successful mask-wearing. No matter what you do, when your population is so heavily interconnected within itself and with its neighbours, complacency kills.

Median age plus the proportion of multigenerational families and homes in multiple occupation) is what made things so bad for Italy. The latter -- multiple families and multiple generations in single dwellings -- is also one of the complicating factors for the north of England vs the south.
If you already have a recipe in mind (eg: https://www.errenskitchen.com/homemade-dark-chocolate-puddin...) and want to veganize it, you can:

1. Install the chrome extension and visit the recipe website. This will show you the recommendations against each ingredient on the recipe site itself - In the ingredients section of the recipe, it will highlight the non-vegan ingredients. Or on click on the EatKind icon on the toolbar. See short video here: https://youtu.be/bAXdUqqlSvc

(OR)

2. Copy recipe URL and paste in the search box in eatkind.co - this will show you all the ingredients that aren't vegan, along with alternatives - https://eatkind.co/?q=https:%2F%2Fwww.errenskitchen.com%2Fho...

To veganize a dish (eg: "bangers and mash") - you can type in the dish name in the search box and get recommendations for recipes you can veganize. - https://eatkind.co/?q=bangers%20and%20mash
That's a metaphor that could be applied to literally anything.

What point about reality is it making?

Are people standing in line for toilet paper or bread?
I've got a jumper older than that
They though about that too, they will provide an API, that the developer has to call before redirecting the user to the external payment provider. So they can approximate the amount of sales the app generates. It’s in the article.
But at the same time it's so much easier (and even encouraged) to do your own thing. There are startups popping up daily.

So whilst modern "cog in the machine" software development kills innovation within the company, we live in an age where "anyone" could build the next facebook.
How much revenue do you earn in the lower 170 of those countries, and does it exceed 15%/30%? of the revenue you earn in the upper 5?
You aren't very explicit what you mean, but I disagree I think.

The main thing is willing things into existence (like ZFC, the Axiom of Choice) is equally consistent with not having it (ZF + not AC) or not deciding it (ZF) as shown by forcing.

Russel's Paradox in particular was worked around by not allowing to "build sets" quantifying over all sets (see axiom schema of specification).

If you are talking about avoiding "unprovable statements" (i.e. Godel's incompleteness theorem), you have to strip things way back further: it applies to systems that only have e.g. Peano arithmetic. An actual practical statement that is unprovable in Peano arithmetic is Goodstein's theorem:
- write out a number in its base 2, including its exponents (i.e. recursive)
- replace all the 2s with 3s
- subtract 1
- write out a number in base 3, including its exponents
- replace all the 3s with 4s
- subtract 1
- ...
The question is whether for all starting numbers this sequence eventually ends at 1. The answer is yes, trivially if you use ordinals (and replace all your base numbers with omega: the +1 will basically do nothing and -1 means it must be finite because ordinals well-ordered), but this cannot be used in Peano arithmetic.

Fundamentally, like Paris-Harrington Theorem, I think the way to think about why this cannot be proved, is because these sequences get big before they end up at 1.
It's a tidy TLDR, but I didn't get sense most of US blob in the last 20 years were Gordon Chang tier collapsists. They just expected PRC to be foreseeably manageable, whether through economics, or influence, or military. Any one of one of the instruments will do to make PRC subservient in existing order, but Xi dismantled most of them in record time while US was distracted in ME. Then panic when PRC wants a stake in the order as equals or at least proportional to her power, but the cake isn't big enough to share with country size of PRC. Queue your list of interventions.
It's not just parts (in fact I saw a claim in /r/cycling that the warehouses have plenty of stock), it's also shipping those parts to distributors/bike builders that's an issue. Plenty of stories about how the ports are absolutely backed up.
So... two thoughts.

Thought one is that while personalisation can be really desirable to those who really desire it, it isn't desirable to most people for most things. Most people gravitate towards the easiest, quickest to understand option. There's a trade off between powerful, personalised approaches and easy mass market approaches. It's not an absolute conflict, but it's often there.

For a mass market entertainment app like netflix... personalisation is rarely going to "win."

Thought two is that controlling users' experience, the content they see, how they see it, when... that stuff is power. I don't think FB, for example, would be the company it is today if they didn't seek and guard the power of UI. The power to choose what goes in users' feed and control over how they interact with it.

You can think of an app as a tool that users use to do what they want. Users manipulate the app to achieve their goals. You can think of it the other way around. An app is a tool for manipulating users to achieve the app's goals. Ultimately, the web era of software lends naturally to the latter.

You design an ecommerce check-out UI. The goal is sale completion. No one is going to design a check out UI for user power. They're going to design it for sale completion. Social software (like FB, or even HN) is similar. The app has goals and it needs users to behave certain ways to achieve it. FB wants reactions, shares and whatnot from users. It wants lengthy scroll sessions and habit building. HN wants good submissions and comments, for HN's definition of submissions and comments. Social software does not want users doing whatever they want to do with the software, which might be flame wars, joke memes or spam. That's the paradigm.
They kinda are entitled - you are build for their OS, using their APIs and SDKs, targeting their customers.

All that needs to be funded somehow plus as I always say - nobody has forced engineers to build iOS apps.

An example: what if US engineers dislike the privacy laws of the EU and start asking to get them removed because you know their app wants to track and stalk ppl without their knowledge.

Maybe not the best example but I hope you get the point
>Then don't run Wayland or Gnome and see how far you get without going insane.

Pretty far? GNOME isn't by any means the best DE out there? And Wayland is still in infancy?
is your bank app on F-Droid?
I remember Slackware as being the distro that Backtrack was based on, no?

Good times walking around with one of those Asus EEE pc's loaded with Backtrack and feeling like a hacker, whilst in reality it was just a convenient way debug my earliest attempts at a home network that failed miserably
i learned multiplication table up to 10 time 10 during my phd, while doing 100+ pages long tensor/spinor calculations. at some point it looked more effective learning 6x7 by heart that using a calculator.
A side effect of working for asshole companies like that for years is I’ve slowly developed a zero fucks attitude and an immunity to threats and carrots dangled in front of me.

I can sit there as a project is falling over the edge of a cliff with total inner peace.

My interest stops at the pay cheque and by the clock.
Complacency is absolutely what did the damage in the Czech Republic, complicated by antivax sentiment later on. They didn't get lucky -- mask policy really helped -- but the political class then foolishly began to believe the worst was over.

Believing the worst was over, ignoring nascent evidence that it was not, and constructing policy around that belief, and then reversing it when the truth entered the chat also explains our lurching bouts of competence and incompetence in the UK.
For security reasons I recently encrypted some of my ZFS home server (including the OS SSD). Throughput took a severe hit, because the CPU (Pentium G630) does not support AES-NI. However, day-to-day operations (also CPU load over time) remain virtually unchanged.

Encryption is unrelated to any snapshotting activity. Sounds like you may have additional hooks in place. ZFS by itself does not integrate in any way with package management or anything else, really.
There is a massive difference between 15% and 30%. The latter could never be justified, I think the former probably could be with the services that Apple offer as a vendor (particularly for small businesses). But it still feels too high.

The 27% in the article is just mad, I think they could justify 10% when not using their payments, maybe. But it would be better to have an opt out where there is a set rate for app approval (this could easily be hundreds of dollars) and a download cost for app/data delivery and storage.
Can I be reasonably sure that the dedup will pick the defragmented version?
I think it’s also that mathematicians rarely care about the answer, more about the process.

Figuring out the volume of a complex shape with size scale x? Yes please! Missed a factor of pi/2? Meh who cares?

Multiplying two numbers? Oh look one is twice the other one, so it’s a perfect square times 2. Got the squaring wrong? Meh who cares.

Then even if you do care, it’s hard to shake old habits.

I can’t imagine an accountant saying “ooh here’s an interesting method for multiplying times the tax rate of 13.75%. Got the counting wrong? Meh”.
> What data do you have that show that masks don't have a statistical impact on spread, mortality, or both?

From the 1918-1920 Spanish influenza pandemic onward, public health agencies have evaluated the effects of mask mandates and other non-pharmaceutical interventions. The consistent result of these epidemiological studies has been failure to detect a positive effect. A typical review article, which was I think the most quoted up until 2020 is Cowling (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20092668/).

From the discussion:

In conclusion there remains a substantial gap in the scientific literature on the effectiveness of face masks to reduce transmission of influenza virus infection. While there is some experimental evidence that masks should be able to reduce infectiousness under controlled conditions, there is less evidence on whether this translates to effectiveness in natural settings. There is little evidence to support the effectiveness of face masks to reduce the risk of infection.
Because arithmetic is completely solved and boring, duh.

There was a time when it was at least a little bit interesting, and many mathematicians were actually quite good at it.
It's both
>which, I think we all agree, would have been high prices to the point where there was still bread on the shelf that people could buy

I don't think I agree. The outcome might have been riots and people grabbing the bread and wrecking the store.

There's a vagueness to "laissez faire" - who are you letting do what?
I largely disagree not from a policy position but in practical terms. In most major employers modern software processes allow for major time gaps in delivery and productivity. That time can be spent on anything regardless of employer blessing. Although personal projects created in these time pockets do not carry the endorsement of the employer they are often silently blessed as no cost innovation.

I've been using dm-integrity with mdadm RAID on top, and LVM on top of that. Once it's all initialized an working, it works great.

The biggest downsides I can think of are:

1. You have to do an initial initial initialization of checksums on the disk, which takes forever.

2. Automatically bringing up the dm-integrity layer of the plain disks at boot time is a bit of a dark art involving udev rules.

If you skip the checksum initialization step and add the device to the RAID immediately, it _mostly_ works, because disk blocks are rewritten by the resync/reshape, but then on reboot it fails because some part of the system tries to read an otherwise unused sector (probably to find metadata or a partition signature of some kind?), and then determines the device is unusable because of read errors (dm-integrity errors show up as read failures to the next layer in the stack).
This whole fight is a bunch of billionaires slinging mud at each other and trying to win over the court of public opinion, which is largely not affected.

The drop to 15% took too long. But it’s here now. If the Epics of the world want to enlist/manipulate the suffering of the “little guy,” they really can’t anymore.
It might not have been partisan along direct party lines, but it was definitely a time of culture war. Just huge amounts of conservative media attacking certain Hollywood celebrities for being anti-war, pundits analyzing movies and shows and other media for any sort of critique of militarism or sympathy towards Islam, "support the troops" being the rallying watchword of the day, Hollywood in turn bashing evangelical culture, the invention of blue states vs. red states, etc. I remember seeing op-eds in mainstream news commenting how we were heading towards a divided nation, how cable news networks and talk radio were creating echo chambers:

Reading the editorials above, it's eerie how we've never left the post-2003 era. The technology has advanced, but the polarization remains the same.
The ownership question is orthogonal though, a Sonos speaker is also able to play your self-hosted music collection from a local samba share.
> The cheapest raspberry pi is, what, $5? Getting a few of those would not be prohibitive for many people

I have been informed that raspberry pis are hard to come by and are now retailing for close to $50. They have historically been cheap, and many other electronics are currently also quite expensive due to extenuating global factors; it seems likely that they will return to historical prices within low 1s of years.
Apple probably has the power to kill the advertising industry. Wish it would use its gatekeeper position to do good for once.
I think the big sticking point is whether smartphones are a generic, standardised thing that requires some level of guarantees for the end consumer on accessing software of if each smartphone is one of many products in a broad category that all have different restrictions and limitations. Essentially the "you have a choice, just use Android" defence. I'm not saying which one is correct here, just that this seems to be the specific fork in the road between differing opinions.
Ask HN: What's missing for you in today's cloud functions?
What are your expectations when using cloud functions? What's missing in today's landscape of cloud functions providers?
This echoed so much what my girlfriend is experiencing at Amazon (London) that it is scary. She was not put on pip but one of her co-worker was last week. According to her the guy is competent and hard working.

Everything about the toxic culture, the (unpaid) on call every 4 weeks, management doesn't care about estimations they just set you impossible deadlines, lots of turnover in the team, custom, unstable not documented tools, the "customer first" narrative to make you work overtime and feel guilty. I hear about this everyday.
Even me not working at Amazon I have sev2 PTSD.
What are some examples of democracies that are keeping populism at bay?

I live in a country that became democratic around when I was born. I don't feel that as a young democracy we're doing a particularly good job at keeping populism at bay; I'd go so far as to say we're failing at it.
> Any other provider would probably take the same cut for that kind of service.

Too bad we'll never know because Apple prevents the competition on their platform!
The hollowing out created the conditions for it, and another wave of politicians have gone, continuing the process
I had a similar reaction to the Cambridge Analytica documentary. There was nothing new about adjusting discourse to a particular audience. It's just that there are new tools to identify groups of people and target them.

I don't think much of Alexander Nix and I think he did a terrible job of defending himself. He just let himself be framed into a defensive position and didn't really question it.
> All that needs to be funded somehow plus as I always say

You pay for that privilege, in the form of a yearly developer account, so that's a very poor excuse.
they're probably just anchoring the rate for future negotiations.
I use ffmpeg for this. It has some silence removal options described in the man page. I've never gotten it to work really well, but for the stuff I do, it helps.
>They kinda are entitled - you are build for their OS, using their APIs and SDKs, targeting their customers.

The fix is super obvious, Apple selling shit in my country uses my country population and wealth, so 30% tax on each sell, NOT on profits, We could use the Apple Tax against Apple, if they don't like it they are not forced to sell the products in my country.
Japan is also not 'an island in any meaningful sense'. Yet it seems like when it came to coronavirus, it was an advantage. It's obviously easier to control borders when everybody needs to go through passport control to enter or exit.
The bug was introduced by Ubuntu in their own patch to ZFS code, which is why it only happened in very specific Ubuntu kernel package and nowhere else
So in non-corporate speak, the company is so slow, and the workload on developers so light, you have time to do whatever you want?

Wouldn’t dedicating that time to a project benefiting the company be an admission that you’re under utilized and slacking off?
No need to be so angry. I said people can’t just choose to make 250k, unlike privileged folks here. No need to rage about the reality.

I was paying far more than 1200 for a spot in Portland a good 30+ minutes from downtown. A friend was paying around that and having to commute an hour. Not everyone is as lucky as you. Countless Americans are struggling yet people here say “I’m rich so I don’t see the problem.” Cool. You’re rich and privileged. Most people aren’t.

I moved to another country. I pay less and get a higher quality of life. It’s wild seeing the frogs being boiled and getting louder than ever about how there’s no problem because they’re not feeling it yet.
Very cool. One piece of feedback is that it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that "edit" was not selected. Since it's highlighted (in red), I tried to edit the circuit on the screen to no avail.
We know they can run it for way less because they disclose numbers in their earnings, and the Epic litigation turned up emails from Phil talking about this issue and going down to like 10%.

The issue is what’s the recourse and remedy? Go to Google/Android, which charges a comparable fee and tends to be less valuable?

Folks are getting their money’s worth on Apple’s ecosystem. But they somehow feel like they should just be getting more, just because. But apple doesn’t have a monopoly. They just have a good product.
> you are build for their OS, using their APIs and SDKs, targeting their customers.

Which takes us right back to "Imagine if in the past Apple would have had to pay 30% of their gross to Microsoft in order to be allowed to run their software on Windows."

I'm apple's customer, and I'm these apps' customer. None of them own me. Apple's not doing any meaningful referring, it should be possible to opt out of any referring they do, and building for an OS should not cost these fees.
Btw., the SCOTUS has already blocked nationwide vaccine mandates in the US:

https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/13/politics/supreme-court-va...

> In freezing a lower court opinion that allowed the regulation to go into effect nationwide, the majority sent a clear message the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, charged with protecting workplace safety, overstepped its authority. In contrast, the justices said that a separate agency could issue a rule to protect the health and safety of Medicare and Medicaid patients.

So they made an exception for healthcare workers in order to protect "the health and safety of Medicare and Medicaid patients". Patients are only protected by vaccination of healthcare workers if the vaccine is sterilizing, which is not the case (science).
> The drop to 15% took too long. But it’s here now

Only thanks to the Epics of this world.
Apple has the power to extort massive amounts from the advertisement industry. Case in point: Google.
minecraft modding is doable with some help. obviously more complex than writing some little BASIC program from scratch since you're hooking into existing things that are at times not ideally documented but it's a lot more feasible than trying to teach your kid unity, probably
