> around power management, wake behaviour, and thermals.

Can't speak for wake behaviour cause I have never encountered issues on my 15" 9570 but you can actually make it much, much better with a bit of work.

You need to work around plundervolt flags and enable undervolting(there's a tutorial in some reddit threat on how to do this), then undervolt CPU a bit, this way it almost never throttles. As for thermals, just changing paste to Kryonaut and adding few stacked thermal pads so they connect to the chassis in few places according to some tutorials I found made insane improvements. I play Valorant on mine and I went from almost constant throttling, to no issues at all, even during longer sessions. It's also almost never running fans on higher speeds during normal work.

But I agree, my next machine will be a MBP with Mx chip, I don't want to put in so much work into something that costs a small fortune just so it works properly.
There’s a lesson or two in understanding and respecting the difference between the two technologies you’re discussing.

www.example.com. A 192.0.2.1, for example, will work for both HTTP and SSH and whatever else you want to put there. If you have SSH on 22/tcp and HTTP on 80/tcp and HTTP over TLS on 443/tcp, all of those are reachable via the same exact A record in DNS without even clarifying what port you intend. Plain “ssh www.example.com” would work just fine.

That’s why your statements about subversion of the DNS and squatting on DNS RR types show you to not understand what you’re dealing with, which makes your emotional state about it even more discouraging. You seem to be upset that HTTP has a well-known port. That’s the only sense I can make from what you’re saying, anyway, because you’re ranting at something you seem to have an extremely loose grip on understanding. Hundreds, if not thousands, of protocols start their life with gethostbyname, which looks at A/AAAA. That’s not unique to HTTP and, more importantly, doesn’t deny the A and AAAA RRs for any other purpose. Your gripe makes no sense.

The apex record problem has to do with the DNS specification and the behavior of CNAMEs. It was an issue before the Web existed (crazy, right?). I sense that your career has primarily been involved with DNS as an enabling mechanism for HTTP systems, probably mostly working with virtual DNS hosts like VIPs (given that you incorrectly distinguish “hosts” from the apparent squatting you’re observing in another comment) and you have next to zero context on how very different they are and how little they have to do with each other.

Before you start accusing people of middle fingers and such, you might want to put aside your rage and question yourself: do I fully understand what I’m mad about?
Samsung is not the only option around. A lot of Chinese OEMs (Vivo et al.) make fantastic android phones at very affordable prices.
For interest, I had a quick look at a couple of financial statements from three big pharma companies not selling COVID vaccines.

For Q1 2022, pharmaceutical sales only...

AbbVie: 10.345 Bn US vs. 3.19 Bn ex-US [0]

Roche: 5.292 Bn US vs. 5.308 Bn ex-US [1]

BMS: 7.694 Bn US vs. 3.954 Bn ex-US [2]

So US provides at least >= 50% of total revenue, and in some cases considerably more. Also, given the higher prices, it's likely that the US represents a considerably higher proportion of profit than this - and therefore a major change in drug pricing in the US would be hugely disruptive for the industry.

Can you run Win32/Win64 binaries on ARM WINE / Proton?
You would need Apple to support Vulkan in their GPU drivers first.
> This sounds like another headache. I don’t want my tools silently breaking.

Yet here you are, posting your comment through a web browser on a web page. And the new standard that was intended to make web pages display catastrophic failure and stop processing with each error (XHTML) was never widely adopted. Makes you wonder why? Maybe the nature of an open data platform for human consumption has something inherent to it so that it's better to accept a certain degree of inaccuracy and inconsistencies in its stored data?
Congrats on not contributing to making out planet a giant electronic dumpster!

My first laptop is from 2009 (ouch). It's a Samsung 17"3, with an Intel core duo, something like 4GB RAM and some ATI Radeon GPU. Though I'm not the primary user anymore, it still works well enough (main annoyance in that I broke the W key and never bothered fixing it). The only upgrade I have ever done is replacing the disk with a SSD after it broke (the computer felt from a table). The battery is completely dead now, so it mostly has become a desktop computer (which is fine, it's pretty big anyway, and an external keyboard/mouse are nice too, given the touchpad is shit and the keyboard is a bit broken).

It costed my parents 700€ (I'm in France), so even at the time it was not a very high end computer. It has served me well, and now my wife. I'm thinking of retiring it, maybe transform it into a server by removing the screen and the keyboard.
Something that SV engineers seem to not understand is just how much software is private software (also how much of it is just plain old boring "enterprise" Java or C#).

It's not glamorous or pays as well as SV startups/unicorns but it's out there and accounts for most of the worlds software.
Indigenous Alaskans died from Covid-19 at nearly 3X the rate of white Alaskans
I agree this is completely unjustifiable, especially with regards to the Mac Pro.

Can these machines even run Linux without losing hardware features (like T2 acceleration?)

The above said, I can see why they want to do it. It makes sense to want to stop supporting Intel macs as early as they can, and that means bringing down expectations of support life every year so it’s not a sudden cutoff that would cause an uproar.

It’s still B/S however you look at it though, and I feel really bad for anyone stuck on these platforms that feel like the rug has been pulled.
Because they build upon previous experience, not upon the original problem. (Foo 3) minus (Foo 2) would make much less sense in the past. But now that Foo 2 guys know Foo 2, it seems like an improvement. The problem stayed the same. Foo 2 made sense only in a context of Foo 1. Squint at most (Foo N, N >> 1) and you will see Bar 1..2 declared dead long ago because it missed today’s context.
Ownership rights vary from culture to culture and from country to country. Even in the US you don't get to own something forever, you get to own it until someone takes it off you to build a shopping mall for example.

In most countries, leased property is often referred to as "owned", yet you have to keep paying over and over to renew that lease.
Ask HN: Is fake GitHub profile data a thing?
I'm hiring for some technical positions, and noticed that I'm getting a lot of resumes that link to a GitHub profile with a common set of characteristics:

- A long README.md with lots of awards/stats images.

- Lots of repositories with single commits, no real explanations in the READMEs. Sometimes these are non-fork copies of more popular projects, which seems even more suspicious.

- Most of the repos have five to ten stars each, but if you open them up they are basically the same people over and over starring all the repos.

I don't want to share links to example profiles because these may be real people, and maybe there's some legitimate scenario where profiles look like this that I'm just not thinking of? It seems though like it's just pumping fake data to drive the stats in the readme.

The resumes that come along with the profiles seem normal enough, so I wanted to ask here if it's something that others are seeing as well? And if it's a red flag, as I assume at this point? I'm asking because I don't want to write people off if there's something benign happening here that I am just not familiar with.
A traditional sense that makes no sense for intangible concepts like a domain name.
I don’t need interfaces in Python because I can just write or extend a class.

Multiple dispatch is a bad fit for most problems. It’s the hard truth many Julia users won’t swallow because LLVM can give them such good performance with such low programmer effort. I’ve read some Julia source and its an awful experience trying to figure out what method is actually going to get executed because of multiple dispatch. It’s maddening. It’s the direct reason why so many Julia programs are unwieldy, and it leads to poor programming practices. I’ve seen plenty of mathematicians write shitty Python/Octave/R etc, I’m not saying that it can necessarily be prevented. Like I said, I’ve read a lot of shitty mathematician Python, and I can at least build the class hierarchy and transformations in my head and annotate my way to understanding. With Julia, I have to think multiplicatively about every call site because it could get called with a million different methods. It’s so annoying.

I don’t think Python will ever be half as fast as the fastest Julia programs, but that’s okay. A hell of a lot more games/products/everything has been shipped with it than ever will be with Julia 1.*
You posted some very low effort answer you were ashamed of, canceled it AFTER I already answered you and now you post more nonsense and expect me to give you attention again?
> you pay for the administrative work

If you were truly buying a domain name, the administrative work would be one-time, indeed one might think the entire overhead of maintaining a registry would be significantly less.
I am also seeing it in Dutch and I'm in Australia
Ah yes, thank you, throwaway account created just to dump on Cuba.
My previous company SLA was for 99.999% uptime which was built on top of a service with 99.9% uptime without anything additional in between.

SLAs in most cases are bullshit and if anything really bad happens (Atlassian) they are just prepared to pay out class lawsuit.
The last "new" computer I bought was a laptop in 2011. A 13-inch Macbook Pro with a 2nd gen i7. After that, I've always bought used, as the place where I'm in right now, the people prefer the newest shit, so I happily buy their used laptops for cheaps. Mind you, these are T480 Thinkpads that people are selling for very cheap in order to buy the latest.
I mean can you read? Then go ahead and read the article. Why should I do your job for you?
I see a lot of people go for Monday or Friday when going down to 4 days a week. There's definitely some advantages to that, however as an alternative suggestion I prefer Wednesdays off.

I find even in the best jobs, there's a general level of stress that builds up at work over consecutive days. There's a great feeling being a bit stressed on Tuesday and thinking "ah it's ok I've got tomorrow off". It's like that "Friday Feeling" twice a week.
I was going to comment on that, I'd love to have a 3 days weekend but only if one of those weekends was to reconnect with my wife without the toddler.
A software implementation of WebAuthn requires a TPM module and to be honest I think privacy and user identification are more of a security problem on the web than being phished for passwords. The problem I see with Fido2 is that they consider a far too narrow corridor of threats.

Sure, for devices that need to authenticate themselves it is a decent or maybe the best solution. For me as a user? I am not convinced. It cannot compete with passwords.
I think they want to manage the notifications of both SIMs separately - e.g. have the "work" SIM be in DND during nights and weekends, but not the regular one. If I'm not mistaken, this has been a feature on Android for quite some time.
There is one thing critically missing from a privacy perspective: fine grained permissions for Contacts. It is all or nothing. All or nothing means, Facebook gets all my Contacts data if I enable the permission in WhatsApp. Including birthdays, notes, profile photos, email addresses etc.

iOS should have:

- Contact groups

- Share only individual contacts

- Share only phone number and first name or initials or so

- Mark some contact information as "never share those"

- Make apps believe they have full access

Inbefore: don’t allow shady companies access to my Contacts. Yeah, reality is more nuanced than that. And this is not about me, but people storing all kinds of stuff about me in their Contacts and uploading it to Facebook.
Shouldn’t it work in any IDE that understands Rust macros?
I think wanting daycare is totally reasonable though. I just think it'd be nicer if it didn't have to be school. Traditionally, multigenerational households would have helped with child rearing but now it's often pretty much entirely on the shoulders of the parents which I know would be extremely draining.
Even once you read Reuters you still decided to go for a very shallow view. Reuters explains a lot of stuff, but you only cherry picked what was supporting the idea that Cuba is inferior to the democracy you live in.
Spot on! Hate it with all my heart
There was already a passwordless authentication mechanism in browsers called SSL client certificates. Approximately nothing uses it because it’s hard to use.
I'm mostly fine with monopolies that exist because nobody can make a better product. It's scary, but there's not much to be done about it.

Unfortunately, Apple is not the kind of product I would actually want to use. They are still behind Android on many features, because the lock so much down, don't prioritize compatibility, etc.

They also cost more, and you can't develop apps for them unless you also have a Mac. To any techie, that's a problem, especially when a MacBook costs more than anything else I've ever owned.

iOS apps also seem to often cost a few bucks, despite free equivalents existing for Android. Perhaps because they are more expensive to make, or because they can't rely on a data collection business model, whatever the case pretty much everything seems more expensive.

There are lots of reports that third party stuff is just a bit worse because of the privacy restrictions.

The UI is non-customizable in a very annoying way, it's all based on gestures and shortcuts with many things hidden.

Apple makes appliances more than computers. Android, Windows, and Linux all share a general idea of doing anything, in any scenario.

With Apple you're never quite sure what they'll do. Anything beyond core phone use cases seems more like a bonus, and a lot of the exclusive features have to do with some other Apple specific thing.

Plus, apparently, they don't have per app notifications, and some are saying that push notifications can be unreliable.

There is essentially never a time when I want anything like a full do not disturb. So... I'd have to be interrupted every 4 seconds by crappy apps that spam notifications to avoid being unreachable?

With Android, you feel like no matter what tech task you want to do, you can probably do it with an app. I don't get the impression Apple is really trying to be more than an appliance.
I got the M1 Air before but then replaced it with an 14" Pro.

If I still got the M1 Air, I still wouldn't regret it. It was a fantastic fanless machine. I would have had it for 18 months, long enough to expect some upgrades.
Well glad I asked -- HN always has good takes from people who are actually in the room.

> But you're underestimating the beast that Google is.

When I think of how Google exerts it's power on the consumer I can think of these things:

- Search

- GMail (the on-ramp to GSuite)

- Chrome

- Android

These are all powerhouses, but they're not unassailable. In fact I think Apple's moat is more defensible than Google's -- lots of companies have tried and failed.

I'd love to hear why I'm wrong though, I've never worked at big G or worked in ads or some other sector they Google is dominant.

Google is making some great inroads with Chromebooks (and essentially trying to get the next generation), but... Just about everything Google does I'd rather trust Apple with, and all that we're waiting for is them to give me the chance.
Not a computer per se, but I bought a good rice cooker in China in 2014. Not overly expensive (around 40 dollar) and much better than I could buy at home.

It stopped working in 2019 with some error code. Unable to go just go to china for a decent replacement (and the ridiculous shipping and china-local-product export tax, think 200 dollars) we thought let's give repairing it a go. After consulting friends and using online translation tools to dig through the manual, we found out that the temperature sensor was not giving a correct response.

Okay, so what is wrong. Using a screwdriver and the right amount of force, we managed to open up the plastic encasing of the rice cooker.

After going through the electronics, we noticed the wire from the board going to the lid of the cooker was, well, bent. Think like a thin speaker wire making a 90 degree turn. Well, that can't be right.

After cutting out the problem, soldering back the two wires and closing it off with some tape, it actually came back to life. It has since been working without other problems.
I got my Electrical Eng degree 15 years ago. This included reasonably advanced calculus, statistics, linear algebra and trigonometry. Been working as a programmer for 15 years now. I always felt needed MORE math: number theory, trigonometry, statistics, combinatorics, etc.

The funny thing is that I started realising I'd need a lot of math even before working professionally. As a kid I wanted to understand game engines and ray tracers, so trigonometry and linear algebra were what was lacking.

At some point I worked on a search engine of the bigger kind. Back in the day this meant I had to touch statistics and machine learning, distributed systems, computer science theory.

I enjoy understanding my programming languages on the deepest level possible. And there's a lot of math-based and comp-sci stuff in compilers as well!

In these days, original whitepapers are available for anybody to read. Not wikipedia, not story retold - the real stuff. Not being fluent in math means not being able to consume the most interesting part of the treasure.

Surely, math is not directly applicable to web-dev or whatever the latest flavour of UI building is now. And that's a lion's share of work available today.

The secret is that math is not like some kind of specialised tech. It's more like a language. Being able to read it gives access to more knowledge the same way reading is a way to get access to written knowledge.
Even 20 years ago, Notepad used to open in a flash on my desktop. The Notes app on my phone however...
So does most templating languages.
Lot of words. Reality is that housing is a major investment and a fixed asset. It cannot be diluted with manufactured homes without any restrictions.

There is no benefit to homeowners who have sunk capital. In which universe do you think people who have built value will give it up?

There is a place for manufactured homes and there is a place for mansions. There is a place for apartments and high rises. They cannot exist together and people will fight tooth and nail for it. It is definitely a class issue and will always be that way as land is a restricted asset that cannot be manufactured.

High density will have to be cheap because it costs a lot to run and maintain a city. Putting a lot of poor people to run a city expensively is not earth math.

What was the population of the USA when manufactured homes from sears reigned supreme? It is difficult to take these arguments seriously. I literally do not know one city in the whole world that is high density and affordable. Villages are cheaper to live in than towns ..that are cheaper than densely populated cities. Why cheap? Because they are designed with less amenities and infrastructure. Cheap homes are always at the edges. And this is universal.

I have lived in multiple cities and countries. Nowhere but in America have I see such willful stubborn spoon fed ignorance about very basic economics ..macro and micro.

Anyways..I do not want to sink into an argument. It is my opinion and I had expressed it in my previous reply. I do not wish to engage in debate. I don’t believe it would be fruitful or interesting. Have a good day.
Devil’s advocate: the appartement or land you own still requires paying annual government taxes (and sometimes various other fees) in most places.
fwiw, qemu is not always strictly emulation. On macOS, QEMU supports using Hypervisor.framework as a backend for fast same-arch system virtualization. This is also technically possible on M1 iOS devices (w/ forged entitlements) as you mentioned and someone actually did that recently
Welcome back, rosndo.
Have you ever seen a non-techie buy a phone? No one cares about specs.
It’s not difficult to name shady, unlawful, unjust - you name it - behavior by the US government. It’s not difficult because to find any of it I can simply go to Google and in less than a second I’ll have a list of it all. Try that on Yandex or VKontakte. Good luck.

If you have no evidence or even circumstantial hints your comment is nothing more than a conspiracy theory.
The worst Empire in that case is USA with how they obliterated the North American populations and wiped out many tribes.
Maybe only tangentially related, but does anyone user Apple Keychain as their primary password manager? Is that even a viable option if you're completely within the Apple ecosystem?
Totally agree, macros are the worst Rust feature for me, they are way too powerful and break the tooling, e.g. fmt or language server.

In a similar analogy: Starting up your own ISP is cheap. So why don't more people start ISPs rather than being limited to a small selection of providers?

Lobbying, start-up costs and more can all be contributing factors. Something can be exceedingly cheap to manufacture, but then you gate others from manufacturing through other fashions. Or they just outright buy out your manufacturing capabilities for pennies, then turn around to sell the insulin at massive profits again.
20% of revenue is put back in R&D on average.

Cut revenue, you cut R&D.

And the US is about half of all global revenue, so half of all R&D expenses. The other 95% of the global population pays the other half.
I’m more pointing out that as far as “platform costs” go, Apple is in-line with its contemporaries.

In fact it’s likely by virtue of the platform being so closed that the rate is so high (as my examples are console platforms which also seek to be hermetically sealed environments), so trotting out f-droid as a refutation does little.

Maybe I’m numb to this from working in games; try making a game and avoiding the 30% tax; even on a free and open platform like PC, outside of Epic and some home-grown launchers you’re going to be paying 30%. For consoles; forget about it, that’s the price.

It’s pay to play, and if you don’t want to pay then… don’t, nobody puts a gun to your head any forces you to support the iPhone. At least you have an alternative platform to target that is cheaper (Android).

Where as I got death threats when we put The Division 2 on Epic Games; the public opinion was not a good one: https://reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/ae8vnd/_/ednd9fr/?...
Consistently applying a design language is probably more important than the design language (e.g. your rule of threes) itself.

Except for exceptions to your design rule which will form the finishing touch. :)

Another nice design palette rule that works well is black or dark gray, white or light gray, one nature color (wood, rock, ...), and one vivid color. (That's a set of 4.)
That is the argument most monopolies make. Look at all the good things I am doing! I might not do them if I make less money! (While swimming in money and spending a fraction to R&D)
Same can be said about the customers: they could've spend the 30% on things that are better for their life.
