Very much. In many cases a single variadic replaces tens of thousands of lines of code, often machine generated, greatly simplifying code bases and speeding up compilation. It also immediately obsoleted the whole of boost.mpl. Together with lambda they are probably my favourite feature of c++11.

Span is nice especially as a vocabulary type, but it wasn't hard to implement something functionally similar and in practice most of codebases already did.

Part of that was the greater clock speeds on the 601 and 603, though. Those started at 60MHz. Clock for clock 68K apps were generally poorer on PowerPC until PPC clock speeds made them competitive, and then the dynamic recompiling emulator knocked it out of the park.

Similarly, Rosetta was clock-for-clock worse than Power Macs at running Power Mac applications. The last generation G5s would routinely surpass Mac Pros of similar or even slightly greater clocks. On native apps, though, it was no contest, and by the next generation the sheer processor oomph put the problem completely away.

Rosetta 2 is notable in that it is so far Apple's only processor transition where the new architecture was unambiguously faster than the old one on the old one's own turf.

It's nice that you can use the path: option to specify the file extension and/or the path to the file.
The other issue with JIT is that it is unreliable. It optimizes code by making assumptions. If one of the assumptions is wrong, you pay a large latency penalty. In my field of finance, having reliably low latency is important. Being 15% faster on average, but every once in a while you will be really slow, is not something customers will go for.

This is probably the most practically doable answer but not one that accomplishes any of the goals. It only benefits pre-existing holders of USD, and this problem exists even in holders of USD. Since USD is not distributed equally among the population, the actual effect would proportional to the existing holdings; most people would effectively receive a lot less than 1$.

You can fire people and/or let them go without claiming you "take full responsibility". That's ok, and exactly my point.

The phrase "I take responsibility" is never accompanied with any sign that the person does in fact take responsibility. It means more than just "Ooops, I did a bad"

Binance backs out of FTX rescue, leaving the crypto exchange on the brink
I think we both hate those toxic, bullying behaviors.

But lawyers don't do those things on their own. They're doing it at the express direction of ZeniMax. They may even be direct employees of Zenimax, who knows.

I'm not totally absolving lawyers from blame, but they're much closer to being a symptom than the problem.
I think there's some confusion here -- "Apple Authorized Reseller" does not mean "Apple Store". B&H is authorized, Amazon is authorized, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and T-Mobile are authorized resellers. There's a tiny local shop near me that's authorized.

There are only ~500 Apple stores in the world. There are probably probably 100,000 authorized reseller locations (Walmart alone has 10,000 locations).

Setting aside Apple, the reason companies set up authorized reseller programs is to control the customer experience, from price maintenance (the topic of this HN thread) to brand image to customer satisfaction with returns/refunds.

Being authorized for any manufacturer is kind of a big deal; these companies pay for that arrangement, and there are often training requirements for staff, and minimum purchasing requirements, requirements for return/refund policies, and more. In return, the manufacturer steers business to these retailers and provides them with (often free) brand collateral, demo units, etc.

So if a customer has a complaint, whether it's user error or defective product or a mistake by the retailer or just the customer deciding this product is not for them, there is a strong incentive for the retailer to do right by the customer to avoid jeopardizing their status as authorized.

But if a customer needs help from a no-name reseller who has no direct manufacturer relationship, that reseller has little incentive to fix the issue. It's cheaper to just punt everything to the manufacturer, and there is no reason to do any extra work to protect the manufacturer's brand.

And of course unauthorized resellers have a strong incentive to pass off refurbished or even counterfeit products as real. Lower cost, and there's no bridge to burn with the manufacturer.

So all of that is why I think it's plausible that Apple, and other manufacturers, see increased costs and more negative brand experiences from companies that don't participate in their authorized reseller programs. I'm sure there are great indie companies that do everything right. But, in aggregate, at the scale of an Amazon.com, it seems reasonable for both Amazon and Apple to use the authorized reseller designation as a filter for sellers more likely to treat the customer well.

That's not a result of bail reform, though, [1]:

> The data now reflect: 2 percent of the nearly 100,000 cases related to the state’s changed bail laws, between July 2020 and June 2021, led to a rearrest on a violent felony while another case was pending. That’s down from nearly 4 percent from the prior data set.

I won't rehash the A/B discussion, there's plenty of other people talking about it.

The Cambridge Analytica thing probably didn't have a meaningful impact on the elections. Facebook was dumb to allow partner apps access to so much data and rely on those partners to follow Facebook's policies, but they recognized the mistake and probably overcorrected.

All the other coverage probably serves to reinforce and amplify negative sentiments about Facebook, and a ton of it wasn't deserved. People cite the Rohingya, I remember also a news cycle about Facebook profiting from hate speech.

Those things happened, but Facebook had also built probably the most expensive and effective hate speech filtering operation in the world. That it be 100% effective is not a reasonable goal. With billions of pieces of content even 99.999% effectiveness will result in examples that the press can point to reinforce a narrative about Facebook profiting from hate speech.

I doubt there ever was any profit in serving hate speech. The ad revenue from filter misses would not have been big enough to pay for the filtering operation itself.

There's definitely "just Elixir" applications, I've worked on more than one. And I don't think any of my colleagues really knew Erlang.

But mostly that's more because it has been unnecessary rather than a dab at the language.
I doubt that the mentioned 'psychological experiments' are just A/B testing. There is a very strong case to be made that Trump and Brexit would not have happened without Facebook, and those are just two examples.
There's a reason Tristan Harris called upon SV to avoid "A/B testing ourselves into the 'gradient descent of mankind'".

My qualms are not so much with the method as the morals that guide it. It's agnostic but when operationalized in a faulty moral framework can definitely lead to bad results.

Or maybe how Near was harassed for being a harmless non-binary furry until they committed suicide?

Dynamic languages need inline caches, type feedback, and fairly heavy inlining to be competitive. Some of that can be gotten offline, e.g. by doing PGO. But you can't, in general, adapt to a program that suddenly changes phases, or rebinds a global that was assumed a constant, etc. Speculative optimizations with deopt are what make dynamic languages fast.

My personal crackpot theory is a lot of these people become addicted to the gamble, so following a simple sure thing plan is actually a huge turn off for them. I definitely think you see this in Elon's recent behavior, where even if he ultimately took the same strategic actions, just a tiny bit of restraint in the execution would save him vast sums of money and headache.
I listened to it, and unless I completely misunderstand the needs of advertisers, I can't imagine this was persuasive. On most of the content moderation and identity fraud the key line seemed to be "trust us", he said the content moderation council won't be around for months.

The one perhaps new thing that might be interesting to brands was to buy and sell on the site, but he couched that in the fact that it would take a long time to code.

That's why when you use a "history is sacred" approach, you typically have several branches and use merge commits, not rebase.

When you look at the master branches you will mostly see merge commits, all the mess will be on the side, for example in feature branches. Merge commits can be clean, and when you are blaming, you will see the merge commit, not the dozen of typo commits. If you do "git log --first-parent" you will not even see the messy commits, but they will be there if you need them.

There are at least 14 serotonin receptors in the brain and even more on your platelets, in your gut, on your heart valves, and many other parts of the body. The "chemical imbalance" theory never made a lot of sense, it was based on studies where they spinal tapped people and measured how much was in their cerebrospinal fluid which has very little to do with how much serotonin is in the synapse junctions where SSRIs and other drugs do their work.

The "brain damage" theory has been credible for a long time and it was why my primary care doc put me on SSRIs before the bottom fell out in my life.

> No it's not. When an asset prices in cash, that price is dependent on it's ability to generate future cash

But that's precisely why people were valuing Ethereum at x,xxx per token - the belief that Ethereum will one day have the network effect to generate future revenues. And honestly, a lot of projects built on Ethereum did generate an absurd amount of revenue in a very short span of time.

OpenSea and Uniswap are probably the most prominent examples. Both generated a combined total of over $1B in revenue and used Ethereum as the fee token. The speculative price of Ethereum - or any other cryptocurrency, for that matter - relies on the belief that the number of apps like Uniswap and OpenSea will likely increase over the years.

> I would agree that cryptocurrencies would go up in value if you could buy an increasingly large amount of things with them (and only them)

Of course I agree there is nuance, but that's the point I'm trying to make. So far every argument I've seen against it in this thread is along the lines of "all tracking is bad" or "[overly broad category of tracking] is bad". Nobody seems to be willing to substantiate the more nuanced claim of why this specific type of tracking is bad.

For the record, I agree that this type of tracking should require consent (or at least be able to be turned off).
