I disagree about lifetime annotations being syntax salt. At least with my interpretation of what syntax salt.

From syntax perspective lifetime annotations are almost as short as possible assuming you want to explicitly convey this information at all ('a is just two symbols and one of them is identifier). The alternative of not specifying it at all comes with major tradeoffs of either in memory safety (like in C) or runtime performance (like most programming languages with dynamic memory management). In theory there is third option of compiler fully deducing lifetimes, but that's far from trivial, has it's own costs and realistically even further narrow down what programs the compiler considers valid and increasing compilation time.

There are strong similarities with typing strategies. Just because there are programming languages with dynamic typing doesn't mean that explicit static typing is salt. Dynamic typing has performance cost, and static inferred typing has worse self documentation properties and slightly bigger compilation time cost since you can't process each function independently.

On the other hand reinterpret_cast<Foo*>(expr) doesn't provide to compiler any extra information that couldn't be conveyed with simpler less verbose syntax like R(Foo*)expr or (expr as Foo*). Same with unsafe{} blocks, compiler already know which operations are unsafe.
Harvesting and replanting trees is not anti-tree.
Did nobody play SimEarth? You have to start with grasslands before building up to forests. And you need the right critters.
Initially I thought MS might have learned from missing out on mobile to get ahead in AR/MR/VR and be a device and platform leader. It seems what they learned is to give up before entering and focus on partnering instead. That is something they've always succeeded at PC+DOS, IBM+WindowsNT, Apple+Office, JavaVM.

To me it does seem a low target to aim for. VSCode shows they can execute, but for some reason when the stakes are higher they don't do as well Windows Phone, Edge browser, etc. I suppose I could call that corporate self-awareness.

Do people pay plumbers the same in SF as they do in Charlotte?

As an employee I want to be paid the highest that anyone else is paid for the same work. More so if the value generated is the same regardless of location. Yet I can understand employers wanting to help maintain sustainable communities, even where cost of living is high.

Governments too want some control over their currencies and its value.
Can’t you automate the rotation?
“The current team seems composed by interns without experience on previous Microsoft frameworks, “

That’s my suspicion too. And I believe they did the same thing with Teams and hired some interns who are learning Agile to rapidly deliver “feature”.

Why does this matter?
Programming on the iPad was OK, in the sense that Blink Shell is a better ssh client than PuTTY, and I don't want to carry my desktop around with me. Eventually I switched back to a Linux 2-in-1 laptop -- it is nice to be able to run GUI applications locally, but it is nowhere near as good a tablet as an iPad despite whatever tweaking I try...
K-12 schools will have to replace their existing headphones with USB-C models, but that's not too bad, the headphones take a lot of abuse in that environment. EOLing the lightning charging infrastructure they have is going to be more impactful.
This almost always comes from a bad manager. I think our industry needs to hold managers more accountable to growing their subordinates in the direction of their careers they want. If they can't, they shouldn't be managers, it's really that simple. Some may argue that personal growth is not important to the business but in reality it is because if the employees don't feel like they're growing then they leave and it costs money in churn. Look at how much Amazon's churn is costing them, it's in the billions of dollars.
It is very unlikely, if not impossible: China has repeatedly stated Taiwan is in China, Taiwan has repeatedly stated they, in fact, are the legitimate China, both prepare day and night for an invasion they never dismiss, and both are a direct threat to each other politically, geographically and culturally.

Japan ? They're as threatened by China as India, and nobody in China is planning for administrative take over of 130 millions Japanese anytime soon. And Japan has so many problems to solve already, they're not looking at bothering China enough to risk missiles.
Scaling up too much is a huge risk. Sure, people want a lot more EUV machines right now, but what if they don’t later? You can be left with a lot of expensive capital outlay that is going unused.

The semi industry is known for being very boom/bust so it’s best not to scale up too quick lest it kill your company.
It's a feature of how our language, labeling systems, and brains can only grapple with so many things. We rarely need to be so precise.

There are millions of human cells in your body right now that don't share "your" DNA [1] due to mutation or specialization (somatic recombination, Barr bodies, etc.)

We've known this since trying to apply species categories.

[1] "your" DNA becomes a population average sometime after fertilization.
Could you provide an example of a competitor app that integrates Giphy? It feels like a lot of people _think_ this is the explanation, but the chat apps I use defer gifs to the keyboard.
Thanks! It's definitely a common problem for robots and I hope others can benefit from this.
Or baseball. A good back catcher doesnt need to pitch.
I’m sorry you’ve been going through something traumatic. My email is in my profile - reach out if you need.

But just in case you need to hear this, I don’t know you but I believe in you. It takes a lot of skill to write something tactically useful when you’re in the deep end of shit pool. You’ve got this.
I wish I could remember the origin of this. But a quip on this idea I had read was along the lines of "If China invaded Taiwan and Kansas, the US would send troops to Taiwan first". Whether you want to call Taiwan an ally, a protectorate, vassal or whatever your political standpoint would dictate, the US is very protective of Taiwan.
I can't speak to how Apple attempts to make deals with schools and workplaces, but their normal consumer marketing seems to pretty clearly highlight the differences between a MacBook and an iPad. If anything they seem to go out of their way to maintain significant differences in the two operating systems (which, ironically, is also a very popular complaint in tech circles).
You're right, for a basic single user license that's a reasonable price.

The thing that is making my team consider alternatives is this: https://www.docker.com/pricing/october-2022-pricing-change-f...

We were on the "Docker Teams" plan, paying $7/user/month. With this pricing change, since we are over 100 users, we bump to "Docker Business" paying $24/user/month, more than a 3x price increase!

At that price point, it's definitely worth looking at what other choices there are.
You are right, but all those things can't be predicted by running the Lee-Carter model, which looks at the realized mortality in the past.

So, one might say, "There's a possibility future mortality could potentially be higher", this is not the statement made by Scientific American. The statement is "Our evidence tells us the mortality will be higher; it will be about as high as if we turned back time by 26 years". That is absolutely not the case. It's misinterpreting the results of a model that is applied mechanically to data that should not be applied to.
what? nearly nobody's dying from the common cold. covid kills hundreds of people every day. how is fucking around with covid worth a common cold cure?!
> Lagrange had insisted that such an approach could not be used to represent signals with corners, i.e., discontinuous slopes, such as in square waves.

Isn't that true though? You can only approximate it, right?
Is far more difficult than scratch building.

The housing opportunity in SF is in all the vacant and underutilized space in the Sunset. Downtown offices do not have the egress, plumbing, ventilation, electricity, or telecomm capacity to be economically converted to dwellings in anything other than a makeshift, emergency fashion.
It's absolutely a workable idea. Standby instruments are typically a requirement for glass cockpit aircraft, and before electronic standby instruments came onto the scene mechanical instruments were used in the standby role in (AFAIK) all sectors of aviation.

"Fly the airplane" is the highest priority in any aviation emergency, and in many emergencies you will need backup instruments to do so. I don't mean to be mean, but tbh it is a little absurd to suggest that a e.g. a pilot who loses her PFD in IMC is better off running checklists than using backup instruments to establish control of the aircraft and situational awareness, and bailing out asap. Sure, it's stressful, but it's also something pilots need to (and do) train for.

Once the aircraft is under control, you can run your checklists, or if you have a co-pilot you may be able to work in parallel. Maybe you will be able to fix the issue, and maybe you won't, but backups give you a shot at landing safely either way.
A few months ago I worked on some proof-of-concept code for searching tagged data: https://github.com/aaviator42/Cha

I now work full-time in a role where part of my duties is designing a content tagging system and its search functionalities. It's very interesting and fun! Lots of puzzles.

How do you weigh different tags? How do you do fuzzy searching ('city' should match with plural ('cities'), misspellings ('citys'), etc)?

How do you program the system so that 'hotdog' is not matched with 'hot' and 'dog'? What about synonyms? What about regional terminology and synonym tables?

Then there's one-to-one and one-to-many and many-to-one mapping.

As a side project I'm also working on a beta public search engine that I'll launch on HN sometime in the next year or so, where I'm having similar puzzles.
Isn’t that a huge conflict of interest?

It’s hard to see how AMD would get capacity ahead of Intel CPUs.
Apple used to sell a Macbook Air 11" and a Macbook 12"
I could be slightly opinionated but Gnome v2.2 which shipped with Redhat 7/8/9 in early 2000s was my peak desktop experience. Bluecurve icons felt beautiful, polished & didn't look all flat for e.g. [1]. In comparison, Gnome3 was a mess, buggy and somehow cinnamon/xfce desktop couldn't ever bring back the elegance & sheer joy of early RedHat GUI

Which ipads are you referring to? I have an ipad air 2 from 2014. It just got 15.7, most recent update. That is eight years of top line support.

It won’t get ios 16, but apple has started supporting older devices with security updates. Ios 12.5.6 supports devices from 2013 that can’t use ios 15.

https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201222

Apple makes some of the longest supported hardware in the business, and they’ve been lengthening their support. Their incentive is to get more services revenue so they want the largest userbase possible. I expect new devices will have at least ten years support.
If China invaded Taiwan it would be despite, not because of, the fabs there.
Orion let’s you run full chrome and Firefox addons in iOS and iPadOS. No joke
> If an alien ran that experiment, they would get the same answer.

This depends on the world they live in. If, for example, things were hard to control, tended to move, to disappear (and reappear in a different place), to look the same, etc., they would probably discover quantum field theory before arithmetic!
Well you have to include excess deaths which is at 15M or higher. The reason is that even if you are including drug overdoses, the pandemic was still a catalyst for homelessness and... excess deaths. Covid is still responsible.
Would it though? I mean, I am assuming there aren't quarantine procedures right now. You'd just have to make sure you have appropriate disinfectant/decontamination guidelines.

Heck just require decontamination as you leave the lab and as you get off the bus, two times makes it more safe, and I'd imagine a 40 minute bus ride through the sweltering west desert heat in direct isn't an environment that microorganisms my flourish in.

Plus that's easy to do to if there is a quarantine period, out people on shifts of 5-7 days on site, one week off. That's what they do for the oil rigs, plenty of people live like that, it isn't easy, or cheap for the company but a global pandemic that locked down countries shattered supply chains and wreaked havoc with the global economy was a hell of a lot more expensive.
I didn't see anything on the site about where to get one, so here's the link to their crowd supply, 36$ for the board.

I am endlessly fascinated by how twitter has now become a dumping ground for complex topics that are difficult to read and follow. But what happened to the old blogs?
I'm not sure if I expressed myself well: I'm not making the argument that we should just accept a future where AI has free rein. Quite the contrary: I would argue we should examine how to preserve the spirit of the precedent - which is to protect creators - which may require us to create new laws.
Yes to all of those and they’ve been supported for years with the slight caveat that extensions are more limited and need to be provided by an app
This brings up a problem I've seen with the Canadian system--it seems to be moving into a replacement for a decent welfare system.

If there is truly no way to fix the problem adequately I support MAiD. However, I'm hearing more and more of cases where finances are a big part of it--there are ways to improve their life but no money to pay for them because they're not medical treatments.
Some folks don't use browser sessions.

I log out of everything every day.
True. But their hairy paws may still reach.
well-connected one-percent chick goes to work for Intel Security long enough to get health care for babies then quits. At the same time, competitive University grad-with-honors working class girl does protests and environmentalism, can't have children with no health care, ends up hanging out with lots and lots of other thirty year olds in the same boat, with debt. Just another day in America.
How does that work for a web browser?
Perhaps no one?

A man can dream.
> Except 'vigilante justice' and 'justice' are concepts that have little to do with each other.

That depends on how well different people's definitions of justice line up. There are many things that vigilantes can enforce pretty well.

> You might as well be talking about the 'de facto law' (like for instance the "law" enforced by the local mafia) vs. the 'de jure law' here.

Sure, why not? Mafia law is often not justice, but I think it qualifies as law where sufficiently powerful. You seem to think this argument debunks itself?
Germany tends to be more risk averse than the UK with regards covid.

While in the UK for political reasons covid is regarded as "over", in many other countries... Restrictions are highly likely to come back over the winter if the health systems come under pressure.
I agree with you except s/tabs/spaces/. :)
Common colds push many people on the brink of death over the edge. But to your point, the years of potential life lost (YPLL) when that happens is minimal.
Not all commutes are long. Mine was about 30 minutes by train and I used that time to clear my head and prepare myself for work. On the way back I used it as a way to relax and switch off.

My parents met at work and I've made friends at previous position and remained friends with them. I also think that being in close proximity is important to me. For example people around the world travel home for the holidays instead of using a webcam. Since the cost and time of that travel is significant must there be a reason why it's important.
It’s difficult to get it perfectly right.

There is ongoing work attempting to make it more perfect.

I expect a year or two before this is complete.

For now though, it does do what it says. The tests I’ve run show that it is accurate over large amounts of events and time. For under 1 million files and/or directories, it uses a near-zero amount of resources. Testing on older processors shows similarly positive results.

But this is so far from perfect. This is only the groundwork. Most of the bugs have yet to be discovered. The platform support, more often than not, uses the safe “baseline” watcher in favor of accuracy.

Ned14 of Boost fame has given the project some expert advice which will help it along smoothly.
Ageism. Ageism pretending at propriety.

Disgusting.
Not hard at all when you look at salaries and allocation of funds.
I don't think we would see full convergence. Apple does a decent job at having classes of devices. What I could see is, the top of the line iPad Pro converging with the Macbook Air. The regular iPad, minis, etc will probably stay with a relatively locked down iPadOS. You want an "entry level" Apple laptop, you get an iPad Pro. But if your work flow requires more, than you go with a Macbook Pro, iMac, or Studio.
I disagree current systems can turn a web search that presents results in a pleasing manner. I had a horrible time trying to find a specific musician's work on YouTube just last night. It kept recommending me completely unrelated vids as if I was browsing just to browse. It couldn't seem to comprehend that even though I usually watch cute cat videos today I am searching for music, even when I was exact quoting the author's name.

I think technology has shifted from giving me what I want to telling me what I want. I really dislike it.
This seems like just a renamed iPad Air, but the iPad Air supports the second-generation pencil.
"A more severe virus would play out very differently."

It wouldn't necessarily. It could still be nearly impossible to contain given the right characteristics, like asymptomatic carriers, a latency period, or benign early onset symptoms. With the right parameters and fast global travel, it would be global before any measures could even be implemented (theory is this was the case with Covid).

"I don't think we'd see such a huge conspiracy movement around it and much greater compliance from the population."

There might be better compliance, but not likely enough to make a difference. Many of the things that they're supposed to be complying with were misunderstood, ineffective (maybe marginally effective), and wouldn't prevent transmission. Even if you were to lock almost everyone in their homes, you still have some essential personnel who must travel/work/etc. Most lack the training necessary for consistently complying with prevention protocols.

Just look at the number of people dying of drugs every year. They know it's bad. Some think it won't happen to them. Others don't care. There's no reason to believe that a non-zero portion of the population would share these two thought processes in this sort of situation and still cause significant damage. Including the people who see no/limited risk for themselves.
But you underestimate our ability to downsize, turn around and build them locally on a 5-year horizon, and our ability to backtrack tensions anyway if we re reaching a nuclear point.

We will give Ukraine to Russia if we can save Paris.
I agree with what you're saying, but practically speaking, using the word "ignorant" is universally interpreted as a negative term.
Yeah, it was really nice. I ran one of those Redhat versions (8.1?) for a while and Gnome just felt great.
So we know max db size for Supabase?
That's true, but this is one of the most important techs we have. From the recent news, I see that TSMC wants ASML to scale up as well. TSMC announced that it will cut its capital expenditure by 10% due to supply problems. This announcement tanked ASML's share price.

My comment is that ASML is hitting their profit targets, they have backlog until 2024. If I were leading ASML or an employee of it, I wouldn't want to scale up. I am already hitting my targets, it's cozy, I have backlog until 2024, I have no competition.

The current situation is good for ASML and bad for us.

My comment is equally applicable for all companies in the supply chain that are monopolies.
Apple stuff connects faster. Some folks say they "cheat." I think by assuming the connection established before it got a proper reply.

Other OSs don't do that, so it seems like it takes a longer time.
Why not?

Don't semiconductors represent a significant military advantage? Would we really want China to control the worlds semiconductor supply?
A marginally updated iPad for the masses to buy, good I guess? Hard to get excited, but I’m sure some will appreciate USBC.
There is nothing inherent to the design of suburbs as they are that drives their efficiency at providing workers. It is fundamentally different from the economic efficiency of a centrally located factory or a very large rural farm.

The suburbs are the way they are (in part) because of the housing preferences of workers, which themselves are influenced by subsidies on sparse suburban living. A denser suburb could serve the exact same purpose in your model while supporting it's own upkeep.
Not to mention Openshift.
