I read that one differently. His presentation style was not as well developed as later, but setting that aside I doubt he had a grand plan. What he appeared to have is a point of view that without developers Apple was going to die no matter what else they did, and without more compelling hardware it also wouldn't matter what else they did. He knew that Apple's leverage with the big vendors (Adobe, MS) was limited, so my guess is he was at the point of this talk fishing around trying to figure out how to hustle the company out of that situation. He knew that the current product line was very poor and not making them money. The $150M MS deal was masterful. The product simplification was necessary. But you can see the fishing around, they talked about licensing, supporting Intel, enterprise app dev and server infrastructure, all kinds of random stuff. So I don't attribute any grand plan, just a really specific view on what Apple's problem was and a lot of hustling to try to solve them.
Just like the name in the local language is also the one used across Europe for Turin - by the way.
you could also put in a subway track down the middle while you're at it, but the primary point of undergrounding the road is so we get our most precious above ground space back for people, not cars. it's not simply about optimizing throughput, though that's also a worthy, and compatible, goal.
It is impressive. I remember reading something related to new abstractions in chip level. The most of the GPU drivers are actually on some specific chip and it works similarly regardless of the OS. Kernel developers actually develop against this new abtraction layer and not directly against GPU. Does someone has more information about this, or was this nonsense?

Because the theory of intermediate host hasn't Led anywhere after 3 years but we know for sure and as a fact that experimentos with bat coronaviruses did happen 1km from epicentro, I don't get why people insist so much. I think it's more like "I hope it's not true" thing.
Reading someone else's FP is like reading Perl, aka line-noise.
I don't disagree. I've just been using it for so long (8 or 9 years now I think) and it's so ingrained in my workflows that I haven't bothered to re-evaluate it in ages. This is probably the kick in the butt I needed.
>"Many of the smart ones know what to say to get out of being on a jury."

I believe in supremacy of justice as I understand it over a written rule (I know it is flawed but this is me). If I feel that person will be punished unjustly then screw the law and I would vote for nullification as it is my right. I think this will stop from being selected as a juror.
This is one of the articles I recommend to new engineers along with Greg Wilson's "What we actually know about software engineering and why we believe it's true."

Your post had a few implications.

1. There were phones better than Windows Phone.

2. Microsoft failed to bully its way into dominance with a worse product.

3. Google and Apple, on the other hand, did.

What were the better products than Windows Phone? Certainly it wasn't Palm, Nokia, or Blackberry. You don't seem to think so, either.

Was it Android and IOS? Does this mean you think they are the better/best products? If so, why do you also assert #3?
Maybe ridiculous, but not totally unprecedented. Aga Khan IV is generally considered to be royalty despite the fact that his family hasn't held secular power (outside of the occasional governorship) since [1095](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nizar_ibn_al-Mustansir). Of course, they held religious leadership as Imams of the Nizari branch of Islam.
Have releases up to 2.13

Still multiple major releases behind but still

Also I wonder how often the new releases are used (market share?) since so many people moved to cloud/k8s
To "disable" the Dock — not really: it will pop up sometimes, e.g. when some icon bounces, but anyway — you can

defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide -bool true
defaults write com.apple.Dock autohide-delay -float 100
killall Dock

Here 100 is how many seconds you will have to keep the cursor on the edge of the screen before the Dock appears. You could set it to 3 or 5 should you need the Dock sometimes but don't want to trigger it by accident.

[Edit: Autohide can be toggled on/off also with ⌥+⌘+D. You can use the combination to show/hide the Dock, paired with a high autohide delay.]
Yeah. Everything is fine.
This is obvious.
> I stopped using Uber and went back to taxis.

I've never used Uber. But the various local taxi companies seem to have recently formed a cartel; they won't take bookings before 9AM, muttering about "the school run". This is new, I booked a taxi at 7:30AM two months ago, to go to the hospital, and that worked fine. Last week I was forced to either book before 7 (and spend an hour in a waiting room), or cough-up £18 for a ten-minute trip.

For clarity concerning this school-run nonsense, school starts at 9AM here, and few kids go to breakfast clubs.
I like xh as a faster httpie as well
you're right, it's an online discussion. the traffic from the BQE already goes to local streets. the point is to give the above ground space back to people, and perhaps clean the air while we're at it.
I'm disgusted by it, but admire the ability for the system to run in spite of the mess that the pattern generate.
Don't want to be snide, but you're talking about the high barrier-to-entry for implementing a nice, customized WKWebView in a project that isn't a web browser. In such a case, the WKWebView brings with it a bunch of complexity that wasn't already there otherwise.

If your project is itself a web browser, then all that complexity is already inherent to the project, whatever you choose to build it with. It's just that the "digging deep" would be in the docs for how to glue Apple's low-level DOM/JS/etc library frameworks together in mostly-undocumented ways; rather than in the docs for how to feed WKWebView the right delegate logic in just the right place to get it to do something that'd be easy if you were directly doing it yourself.
replace "Aristocracy" with "political class"
The key point is the ondemand pricing is not included in artist's take home generally.

Why use Live Nation? As Pearl Jam has taught us: Artists are limited by venues and venues are either owned or have a deal with live nation. Not going through ticketmaster/live nation means not playing the Gardens in New York or most other large venues where you will have to settle for a warehouse in Jersey instead. A huge monopoly exists that requires an uber like attack on the industry or government intervention.
Hi. Millennial here.

I was house shopping this year but had to wait as I moved for a new job. In January I was quoted $>1M of buying power (without my partner). Now I’m quoted <$700k. I’m not buying anything soon.

My father is looking at moving to a new condo for retirement but was hesitant about HOA fees. This year he spent $50k to replace all the windows in his current home to prep for sale. That $50k in maintenance would cover $300mo in equivalent hoa fees, and that’s not considering every other maintenance cost he’s spent. The math just doesn’t justify home ownership from a financial perspective - if your home value isn’t skyrocketing.

I’ll be a renter for a while it seems. Maybe that’s ok.
But for back compatibility implementors will still have to support HTTP/1, which will likely take more than 50% of the total effort.
I don't find that hysterical. Both cases are wrong and should not happen. People turning such stories into political issues is how they keep getting away with it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqyXvMrQDk8
100% a political stunt. The guy bringing these suits is a political hack. Even if he’s right that this could lead to abuse, I’m certain it’s a self-interested thing. This could be my biases showing themselves, but I’ve got good reason for my biases against the government. I’m also against big tech, though, so I’m torn on how to feel about Google getting sued.
The Equation That Explains (Nearly) Everything
Because Google didn't rename to Alphabet. They created a parent company called Alphabet which owns Google and a bunch of other subsidiary companies, but Google is still itself and still wants to be called Google.

Whereas Facebook made a big announcement that they were renaming the company Meta. They asked to be called Meta.
I haven't used this for large deployments but I use it for my personal server and it works perfectly. Almost everything is built in and I can easily write my own custom operations when I need them. Documentation is good and the operations are well designed.

Only downside is I couldn't make it work with my SSH agent, but that might be a problem with Paramiko and not Pyinfra.
Tea in the Beginning (1935)
The article doesn't say this at all. In fact it says the artists are making a lot of money here (though I can't find any details on rev-share or anything).

> Ticketmaster has done something that is very lucrative for itself and for artists, but also worse for the average fan: It has simply jacked up ticket prices for certain high-profile events to a level where all tickets are more-or-less priced at the maximum level that the secondary market would normally bear
> Compute-optimized (C) instances can substitute for a general-purpose (M) instances of half the size

They do have the same amount of memory (and twice the CPU). But if you run a workload that automatically scales to the number of available cores, starting twice the number of processes / threads might well run you out of memory.

The article is interesting, but blindly running your code on unexpected instance types may be more "exciting" than the author makes it sound.
That battle is mostly lost anyway - the web is what Google and Apple let you see for the most part for most users.
Not entirely true and mostly untrue. A few artists can demand a piece but only a handful.
I avoid Google products. But even to me it’s obvious that they’re not doing a global match. All facial recognition - if you could even call it that - is simply within the users photos. Kinda like a categorisation algorithm. Now, if they took this data and used it elsewhere Texas might have a case. Otherwise it should be thrown out.
I know, but my mind automatically thought about the latest which contains an A15 for some reason :|
Only one of those options stands a chance of rendering in my browser.
I'm not sure I'd agree that software engineering isn't looking to great right now, though I'll admit that I have a limited set of experience. Even in a boring job, there are things you can find interesting. If you're (re-)implementing the same CRUD interfaces, maybe look at some templating or code generation to cut down on the time that takes - get meta about your work and find new ways to be more productive. Up to you whether you use that boosted productivity to do more work or to spend less time working.
You can’t simultaneously argue that history doesn’t matter and tell us your life story as though it’s relevant to your opinion today.
Yes! You know exactly what I'm talking about!!

I'm hysterical about the state of affairs for these exact sorts of things, but comparatively almost no one is an implementor, so most people have no idea how bad it can be.
Smart rings have a long way to go

Yeah you can get psychosis from too much caffeine. I don't think it 'causes' schizophrenia though.

My very low effort researching of fairly low neurotoxicity psychoactive substances like marijuana/LSD/mushrooms is that they're associated with eliciting schizophrenia in those already predisposed? Personally I don't know anyone without a history of family illness that exhibited irreversible mental illness after consuming marijuana. Is it pretty rare?

> Or has anyone ever caused a car crash from drinking soda prior to driving?

I would say almost certainly yes. For reason of above caffeine induced psychosis. Admittedly it would take a LOT. But some people drink a metric shit-ton of energy soda.

Do they have revenue? When they make $5B/year with 40 people we can compare it to Twitter. Most people in tech companies are not there to run the core product.
In some philosophies, being envious about art objects' durability vs. a software library's use-life makes for a category error. Art objects are defined as having value in themselves, that we look at for their own sake (~form), rather than for what they can do for us (~function). For software libraries, this is mostly flipped.

The metric of concern there, I might submit, is how many people have been helped by it and the downstream effects of that help (maybe it helped someone get a job, which then helped them get a house, and raise a family, etc...). Not the library's longevity per se, but the effects' longevity...
A typical well-designed class will usually be a few hundred lines of code, tops. Often less than 100 lines.

9k classes * 100-300 == 900k-2.7m LOC

Not TOO crazy for the most complete standard library ever developed, for a language meant from the beginning to take over enterprise business computing.

How many LOC are in whatever meme language is hype this year? Hell, I feel like I see nearly that many lines of console output, when I run NPM to pull in dependencies, lol.
Paramedic here, not a physician, though I did part of what would be considered medical school.

From what it sounds like, there was trouble with the vaginal delivery - either mother's birth canal was too small or there was a breech, cord issue, or even placenta previa (unlikely because if mother had been receiving neonatal care, this would have been identified) or abruptio placenta (where the placenta comes free of the uterine wall prematurely).

Either way, the decision was made, more slowly than it should have, to perform a C-section, and a locum (fill-in) was to conduct the procedure (the fill-in part isn't inherently the problem, though it does mean they were likely unfamiliar with the patient). At some point in the process, between the complications of vaginal delivery and the C-section being completed (going off the 'coming out floppy'), the baby was likely starved of oxygen, likely to the point of needing resuscitation. The 'life saving tube' was most likely an ET tube for intubation and ventilation, but even for the most experienced obstetricians, paramedics, etc., intubation of a neonate is absurdly complicated, due to the tiny size of things (a neonate's trachea is about the same diameter as a pinkie finger, at most). If it took 26 minutes of attempting to place this (and who knows what mechanical ventilation was happening in the process, if any), then absolutely, that was a HUGE failure (for reference, in our protocols for working cardiac arrests, pauses to compressions for intubation placement are limited to TEN SECONDS. The average adult has sufficient oxygenation of the blood supply to last several minutes, but obviously the neonate has much less, and probably had near zero blood oxygenation by the time they were delivered and resuscitation efforts started). At the risk of armchair quarterbacking, if I'd had that much of an issue intubating, we would have gone with blow-by oxygen (if there was any spontaneous ventilation), holding a mask close to the face, or continuing manual ventilation with a bag valve mask alone, or attempted something close to an ET, like an I-gel, an invasive but less complex airway management device - if ET is considered the "gold" standard, then an SGA (supraglottic airway) would be a "silver" standard.
Have you looked at the Acme editor?

Isn't Canada in an international news story for euthanising people to save money?

The parent comment is about the accountability of public systems, not strictly about outcomes.

Also I would caution about using population level statistics to inform an individual choice about healthcare. India is a pretty poor country, but has a really good private medical system. If I travel to India for treatment I'm not exposing myself to the healthcare outcomes of the Indian population - despite the fact that I'm using their medical system.

The same thing applies to public vs private care for an individual within a country. You can tell me removing all private hospitals and healthcare will increase life expectancy for my population. But if I'm one of those people using the private system, I'm probably going to be worse off.

So now we have a story about lack of accountability causing the unfortunate needless death of infants, with a clear solution and clear cause and effect.

You can fix it by increasing accountability by telling the public hospital to "be more accountable" or you can require private hospital practicioners carry malpractice insurance.

Even a poorly run malpractice insurance market can produce positive results (read studies from 1975-onwards).

It's not so easy to make a public hospital accountable. You can't fire anyone, you can't sue them, and you can't reduce their budget if they don't perform.
I definitely intend to add web socket support eventually. Meanwhile, there's https://socketfox.dev which I made for my friends. You can use it to test web sockets.
I’m honestly not sure, though the education angle sounds plausible.
Most of us have been writing software that takes two developers to maintain - exponential growth.

There's always down times, but companies will want to get those huge inefficient enterprise software cogs moving again soon. The siren call of how great things could be if only the software was good are too tempting.
Cold Turkery Blocker here.
Good designers design irrespective of age.

I mean an older designer should have a rolladex full of people who they worked below, beside, and above over the course of their career to break out when they are looking for something interesting to do.

A career is an ecosystem that grows or atrophies based on the careers that surround it. The most important connection to the rest of the ecosystem is will-they-go-out-of-their-way-to-work-with-you-again.

That's true whether a potential move is up or sideways.

Good luck.
god, how i love this article. i understand the criticisms; i see forbiddenvoid discussing that people want to get paid and be able to live comfortably. -[i recall luu writing an essay about how to get better at things quickly (im probably quite poorly and incorrectly paraphrasing him here).]- (edit: shit, after a quick search of danluu.com, i believe i may have fabricated that entirely) i believe they are approaching the discussion at cross-purposes.

this is not about being comfortable paying your bills. this is not saying not to learn quickly or that you should avoid shortcuts. it's about mastery... it's about understanding the craft, weighing the tradeoffs that come with each decision, and repeating that process week-in and week-out for years... decades... a lifetime.

i did learn to program from one of those "for dummies" books. that was (checks calendar) 25 years ago. it didn't teach me everything. i still don't fucking know everything!!! and that's fine. i wake up eager to learn. i enjoy code reviews, and learning from my peers. as norvig mentions: i enjoy being the best programmer on the team, i enjoy being the worst programmer on the team; hell, i enjoy being in-between.

if this post is about anything, it is about the joy of learning, and how deep and long that arc can be. it never ends. maybe when i go senile.

I mean, you already could store Color tuples in CSS variables:

--color-primary: 172,250,83;
background: rgba(var(--color-primary), 0.4);

But I agree, that isn’t very intuitive.
This "thought experiment" is pointless. We might as well debate the mechanics of Harry Potter's magic spells.

> she grew up entirely in a black and white room, she has never actually seen any colours.

White is all colors, or in other words, there is no colour "white", the subjective experience of it is an illusion caused by perceiving multiple frequencies of light simultaneously.

This human guinea pig raised in a black and white room will have been seeing red, and green and blue, all her life. In fact the "whiter" the room the more frequencies of light she must be experiencing.

When she finally sees an apple there is no new information at all, in fact, she is seeing a kind of shadow. It's the absence of other colours that makes the red noticeable.
They will raise their prices until they are in the normal market range.

That's different from jacking up the price "to compensate" for the losses at the start. They just have to eat the initial costs, and it will take a while for normal market profits to put them in the black.
are lived subjects not also factual subjects?
Interest rates.

People don’t care about prices, they care about payments and low interest rates kept payments low and pushed prices higher.

The Fed was sucking up MBS and keeping mortgage rates artificially low for far too long. That is over and a typically 30 mortgage is now close to 7% with home affordability being at record lows.

Unless the Fed drastically changes course and rates lower, prices will absolutely come down.
Is it better to teach a good writer a specific format, or to teach a specific format in order to teach people how to write?

Most people will not become scientists. Those who do can quickly pick up the additional burden of formatting requirements, when necessary.
It's also nearly 100% guaranteed that while people say they're a master at CSS, there are probably only a miniscule amount of people who have read how CSS rasterizers actually work.

I'd almost bet there are probably more people who have reimplemented OpenGL in software than people who have read and understand how CSS compositors work.

For example, if you asked someone how user agents create backing tiles for CSS, they'd look at you like you spoke in a foreign language.

You totally don't need to know this stuff, but if you were doing say, high-perf UIs in WebKit (iOS), you'd probably at least want to know how to hint to WebKit that something needs its own render target or how to minimize subtree redraw.

I built massively performant large UIs for payroll systems on iPad years ago and found that if you optimized your UI just right, you could get smooth scroll performance that showed cracks in how fast the iPad was able to draw backing tiles at the time.

You'd get whole squares black scrolled into view while WebKit asynchronously drew in elements.
