> My classic C programmer curmudgeon take is that the root of the problem, as with everything else in this industry, is bad software built on top of bad software built on top of bad software... and on it goes.

No, not really. Nowadays things are way way better than how they were a decade ago. Nowadays you can get pipelines that build and test on multiple target platforms with a dozen or so lines of code, and things run so well that they became reliable infrastructure integrated with your prod system.

Back then you had none of this, and had to pay the salary for a "build engineer" who worked like a wizard stirring a cauldron just to get a single production build out of the door.

The birth rate in most developed countries is below replacement and only decreasing, so this argument doesn't really hold much weight. It may have in the 1980's but times have changed.
It's an introductory model. Just like the first 13" M1. Lower cost components and less features.

It takes time to ramp up a new CPU. It takes time to promote new CPUs with new features.

It takes time for Apple to walk the marketing they want in order to direct folks to the kinds of machines they want to make.

Does NO ONE have any patience?
Why is DevOps is so hard in other companies yet so easy in Netflix? I mean, the entire monitoring stack of Netflix was automated by one person and managed by four. Two people in Netflix used to manage their entire messaging pipeline, including suro, Kafka, Zookeeper, and some Druid stuff. Their Hadoop ecosystem used to have a handful of people and their end-to-end ingestion pipeline that aggregates and demuxes data into Hive with 15-minutes of maximum delay was written and maintained by a single person. Their key manager, well before Amazon KMS existed, was implemented and maintained by a single person. Their engineers in the cloud platform team were oncall 24x7 yet they only occasionally got paged. Oh, their cloud platform team had fewer than 20 people too. Their entire Cassandra team used to have fewer than 20 people. They predictively autoscaled their clusters with a system created and maintained by merely 2 or 3 people. According to their engineers, they did a few things on top of the excellent foundation of AWS, and they just did them without any fuss:

- API-based full transparency. If there's a function, there is an API. Anything you can do is explicit in API.

- Powerful monitoring support so "instrumentation to death" is not just a slogan.

- Decentralized control. For instance, teach team has freedom to decide how to load balance their traffic and how to handle unresponsive nodes.

- Assuming everything can fail and build mechanisms to account for that assumption. Chaos engineering. Autoscaling from get go (again, thanks to Amazon for such a powerful feature from day one in EC2).

- A shared culture: don't tell me to learn your shit. So, no friction from handling shit like Puppet, like Chef, like Terraform, like HCL, like whatever yaml or DSL that folks on HN passionately advocate. Like learning how to embed a jinja template in a job description with 5000 lines of Ruby code plus some system-specific half-assed DSL just to update an environment variable? Never gonna happen. Don't get me wrong: they are probably nice technology. They are just too damn low level and irrelevant to most engineers.

- Instant gratification. If I make a config change, I want to see it in production in seconds, safely. If I make a change in my code? The change will deploy with all the guardrail in seconds. So, a puppet change that takes on average 15 minutes to materialize? That's just garbage.

- No surprise. So, a Chef script goes behind my back to update my OS and screws up my production service? Never happens. Immutable infrastructure was implemented from day one.

So the question is, why are those thing hard in other companies? Do engineers enjoy getting paged at 2:00am? Do they enjoy spending at least 1/3 of their time handling so-called operations? Or do they enjoy writing rants like DevOps is a failure?
I'm now on i7-12700H. I get close to 5900X performance for a single run (compiling Rust code), with the caveat that the computer slows down during compilation (compared to the Ryzen where I don't notice any difference) and subsequent consecutive runs are slower.

The laptop/configuration: XPS 17", i7-12700H, 32Gb of RAM, 1TB, and 4K touch-screen (never thought I'd like that).

Heat/Battery life: The computer might get hot, but I don't feel any heat, might have to do with the carbon fiber instead of metal. The battery life is 10-12 hours for normal use and 6-7 hours for software development. Not Apple's territory but it's a pretty good range.

Other advantages: Touch Screen / 4K (I find myself constantly using it, works out of the box with Sway/Linux), Dual SSD with Raid-1 (fake RAID), works out of the box with Linux, no drivers issues (though have disabled the Nvidia GPU), great and huge trackpad and keyboard, small laptop size/weight relative to screen size,quite customizable and configurable boot settings and finally a nice minimal design,

Finally, running this

The two-party system is largely to blame for the rise of media polarization. Not to say that either the media or the political structure are "the most" responsible, but pointing fingers at either in isolation at best misses half of the problem, at worst deepens the polarization along another axis.
We can maintain a grass lawn in the PNW without watering it, but I still replaced mine with artificial turf since I hated mowing it. I definitely wouldn’t want to maintain reasonable vegetation.
Assuming these airships are VTOL and can land on non-runway surfaces (e.g. large open fields) you'd think this would beat airplanes by a lot more than 20% overall as you wouldn't have the additional costs of getting the heavy cargo to the final destination, it could be taken straight where it is needed.

So the optimum load would be the long distance delivery of a large, heavy single item in an undeveloped inland area.

Honestly, I think that a split _without a war_ is more likely.

Either states decide they are going to leave, and people decide not to stop them, or congress decides that "this isn't going to work" and each state has a vote more or less on which "side" they will land on.

If you think that is crazy, remember the USSR split up much like this (more or less).

Sure there is fighting these days but the split happened with less of a civil war than you would have expected.

Also it works for the politicians. Say Democrats win the next election. By offering the split, the losing side still gains power, there is still an ideological enemy they can point at, without the need for a war.

There is no requirement for a war in the case of a split, and honestly, it is very unlikely there would be one, since neither side gains anything out of having one.

If anything it may avoid a civil war.
I’m not bitter, I’m upset that the world is being destroyed by greed.
Interesting... It's the same article, but someone else is claiming authorship of it. The WSJ article was written by Christopher Mims of the WSJ, while this one claims to have be written by Oskar Hartmannov (all the articles on that site seem to have his name on them).
I’m so excited for this project. I feel like this is going to bring in a new generation of programmers to kernel development.
I'm a decently big ebay seller. There are a huge amount of scammers on the buy side. Lots of fake reputation. The reason why they largely side with the buyer is there are a lot of scam sellers as well. Traditionally, ebay has been a very weird market place, its coupling with PayPal for a long time, terrible customer support, huge amount of fraud (view botting, follow botting, fake reputation). It really was the jungle for a long while, imo. The past 2 years they've very slowly started modernization the website. It is still missing lots of features you'd expect as a seller but they've come a really long way in a short time.

> They said that the world is bad software on top of bad software, so it’s not one thing.

I don't know about OP, but I personally feel like software like GCC/clang/MSVC and Debian/Ubuntu and Docker and SSH and Git are pretty great, and were never better.

Heck, the whole dotnet ecosystem is turning some significant problems in developer experience into at most minor nuisances.

Even Firefox+Chrome are stellar, and extremely solid as-is.

Where exactly is this bad software OP is talking about?
I do this and I have kids. We home school and it has been going well. My oldest has spent a few years in various public schools and the education they get through online classes and parental teaching is far superior to a traditional public classroom. They are set to graduate high school at 16, through a GED of course.
That’s not especially convincing to me because the closest relatives we’ve found aren’t actually very close relatives. Ratg13 is decades removed from the SC2 lineage, so knowing that it was found closer to Laos is a very weak signal in my opinion about the origins of SC2.

I think it's shortsighted to think of it as an alternative to conventional aviation. People send freight (and themselves) by plane because it's fast; in the case of cargo it's goods that are so expensive that the speed is worth it.

If you're not in a hurry you can use ships, which are quite cheap.

The value, IMHO, is in landlocked areas without rail links like Africa and central Asia. These are areas that mostly skipped the landline and went straight to wireless. Airships would be an analogous transition for them possibly even for passengers, though I think of freight.

Focusing on heavy lift, thats often, and increasingly a niche which incurs massive costs because of increasing urban density, or location of resources needing to move between two points without either canal, or rail, or constraints like bridges and tunnels. Moving parts of aircraft through villages of france, demands an army of planning and consequence for 10cm clearances. If you can lift the same objects you avoid this pain.

If you're doing mining, wind tower deployment or anything similar you're probably negotiating land access and dealing with unexpected problems all the time. Reliable airship lift could reduce costs significantly in this niche.
It feels disingenuous to come to the conclusion that Christians take all / most of the bible "too literally" on the evidence that they believe Christ was literally resurrected in the physical form.

If you were unaware, belief that Christ died for our sins and was resurrected is taught as the prerequisite to salvation and entering Heaven upon death. Given this fact, I would expect 100% of Christians to believe this.

As an additional note, modern Christianity (except maybe Catholicism) brush a lot of the old testament under the rug, of which includes Ecclesiastes I believe? Some churches teach Matthew 5:17 as support for doing so. Catholicism seems to have a more nuanced take: https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/did-jesus-r...

> Apple is two or three CPU generations ahead of the rest of the industry. It's an objective fact that the most performant personal computing equipment in the world is made by Apple

This is sort of like how Apple made the best small music player: exclusivity agreement with the enabling makers of small hard-drives so no other companies could use them in music players. Not exactly high engineering from Apple, just savvy business.

In this case it is timed exclusivity with TSMC on the latest process nodes. Apple do do the chip layout design, I'm talking only about the process part of the chip.
Do people miss the Google of old, or the Web of old?

I miss both, but I miss the Google of old more. How can I be sure of that? Because much of the web of old still exists! There are plenty of decade-old pages out there. And a person could still find them on Google today, if only Google didn't fill its initial page of search results with advertisements and content-farmed dreck.
I mean it's not like they don't have the M2 Pro/Max chips for funsies, they haven't finished production of it yet.

- regain a sense of wonder

> And remember, “Boring is as boring does!”

This is all rather patronizing and has some major wowthanksimcured vibes. Yes, I can overcome the nonlinearity of the response of my dopamine receptors by simply laying off "virtual sugar" and doing a "digital detox".

Bottom line: different people have different neurotypes, and folks are allowed to be bored or stimulated to various degrees by whatever media, without attaching value to how easily one is entertained, or not.
> So few people want to get rid of it because so few people are even aware of what it is, why it’s bad, and how it affects their community.

So you're going to convince us to abandon zoning using the the argument that it's bad but we're all just too stupid to know better? Good luck with that. A great many suburbanites lived in cities at one point in their life and decided to move out.

> In my (subjective, biased, maybe incorrect,) opinion people whose code of "ethics" includes phrases like ... are dangerous

Yeah, definitely biased and incorrect opinion. Are you aware that these tenants are not just in Christianity, but also in Islam and overlap with Judaism? That alone is way over 50% of the world's population.

> their savior was crucified

Not everyone who believes in God believes that Jesus Peace be upon him was crucified.

> The amount of life lost

Compared to what? The number of lives lost due to secular and/or atheist people like Stalin, Mao, Hitler, etc. are orders of magnitude more than any religious wars combined.

> and the intellectual stagnation stemming from these religious fanatics

Which religious fanatics? Are you aware that many of the things we take for granted today stem back to discoveries made during the Islamic Golden age?
It mocks itself more than enough. It needs no help from me.
Just be patient… M2’s of various capabilities will be rolled out across Apple’s lineup soon enough.
I had the same thought the other day when I found out that the base 14" Macbook Pro only has 8 cores. Imagine paying $2,000 for a laptop with 16 gigs of memory, and the CPU is by-and-large the same as a $1,000 product...
Ridley Scott isn't a director that just does contemplative movies all the time. A lot of his stuff flat out just average (Prometheus for example) and he even does raw action blockbusters like gladiator that are very far away from being as thematically engaging as BR.

If ridley scott did Gattaca, there'd definitely be more of a budget on the sci-fi setting. It'd be more grounded and gritty with less of an 80s aesthetic.

As for whether it'd be as good as Andrew Niccols' version well... that's hard to say given Scotts hit or miss track record.
>Right but now it’s also raining and a full moon and the goblin is a werewolf and wands also have AOE spells that hit multiple opponents, except when those opponents are blocking…

>the data oriented approach works exponentially better as the object interactions become more complicated

Maybe it's just me, but I still don't see the difference. To use your example, you'd have a function like:

cast(caster, targets, weather, time, location)

or you can create an object and call it something like Spell and do something like:

class Spell

def initialize(caster, targets, weather, time, location)
...
end

def valid_target?
...
end

def valid_caster?
...
end

end

Perhaps it's just my mental conception of things. My mental model of a class is a data structure plus a bunch of functions that implicitly take the data structure as a parameter. I realize that there can be more to it than that but it works for the purposes of this discussion.

Ultimately it's a code organization question either way. The original question is what class does it go in? Changing it to data structure + functions just changes the question to what module/file does the cast function go in? Maybe that's an easier question to answer but I guess I just don't see it.
Variadic Generics has the potential to enable all the scientific computing libraries to provide really nice type hints. One step closer to eliminating insidious broadcasting bugs… or running training for 10 hrs only to have a validation loop fail because of a shape mismatch.
Because while you won't need an external unit for the tuner anymore, you would still need one for the battery.
Of course it probably shouldn't be the only criteria...
> Privileges and Immunities clause analysis Thomas suggests would be entirely superfluous unless the Court not only through our the substantive due process theory but also just read the Equal Protection Clause into a nullity.

Have you read Thomas’s thoughts on these issues? He’s not hiding the ball here, he’s been addressing them for years. He does not think the Equal Protection Clause is a “nullity” lol.

> Thomas also leaves out that the Court has (long before coming up with the Substantive Due Process theory he calls on it to reject), actually already done the P&I analysis he calls for and rejected the idea that that clause covers anything other than explicitly enumerated rights,

Which Thomas thinks is incorrect and he’s got a good argument for why. Again, Thomas acknowledges there are unenumerated rights. He disagrees with liberals about the source of those rights and their scope, but he doesn’t deny they exist.

> (note that this problem would not exist with the Ninth Amendment which is fairly explicitly about unenumerated rights

The Ninth Amendment is a savings clause. It isn’t a source of rights. It’s not a vehicle for 20th century judges to create new rights.

> The US doesn't even have a doctrine similar to Griswold; the right in Griswold was upheld by later cases on a substantive due process basis (closer to Byron and Harlan’s concurrence), but Griswold itself wasn't actually a substantive due process case.

I’m asking whether it matters that there is a Constitutional protection for contraception or not. To my knowledge, other developed countries get along fine without one.
For me, W11 seems to have really messed things up with the scheduler. If I'm playing just about any game on my primary monitor, I can't leave a media player window or a browser window with youtube on the second monitor because Windows starves the (visible!) unfocused window if the focused one is using lots of resources. This makes the YouTube video I want to watch in the background stutter like crazy and often completely freeze until I refocus the window.

With games that support a gamepad and accept input while not focused, I've started leaving a browser window focused so that it gets correctly scheduled with essentially no noticable impact on the game.
I don't think too many people tried that "crazy amazing loophole that the government doesn't want you to know about but can make you rich".

Looking at the rest of the code, it seems this sort of action is doomed by the adage, "an eye for an eye" - where a blind man might lost a hand instead of an eye.

> Note the extremely crucial "typically" part.

That's best case, in fact. For states that have (or had) a so-called "heartbeat"[1] abortion restriction, which outlaws terminating the pregnancy after six weeks, a woman may only have days to decide and act. And that's if everything works perfectly.

The six-week ban is a de facto complete ban because so few women even know they are pregnant before six weeks.

2014 can be like stone age if you think a new kernel release gets released less than every 90 days. On the other hand development of some features just takes longer and longer than ever expected (not a surprise for any developer).

Well, stone age at least if you run a bit more fresh distro than some CentOS or oldstable Debian.

So are typical modern desktop Linuxes tickless already or not yet?
