We’ll see, but even post-Cook Apple historically hasn’t liked the idea of third parties leaning on bridge technologies for too long. Things like Rosetta are offered as temporary affordances to allow time for devs to migrate, not as a permanent platform fixture.
As much as I personally despise Apple, it'd be a cold day in Hell before I'd ever buy anything from Facebook.
This is all true - machine code needs to be "basically perfect" to work.

However, there are lots of problems in CS that are easier to check the answer to a solution than to solve in the first place. It may turn out to be the case that a well-tuned model can quickly produce solutions to some code-generation problems, that those solutions have a high enough likelihood of being correct, that it's fast enough to check (and maybe try again), and that this entire process is faster than state-of-the-art classical algorithms.

However, if that were the case, I might also expect us to be able to extract better algorithms from the model - intuitively, machine code generation "feels" like something that's just better implemented through classical algorithms. Have you met a human that can do register allocation faster than LLVM?

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut.” -Stephen King

To build domain expertise, embed yourself wherever that knowledge is. For technical writing that's where engineers are writing code, product managers are creating functional specs, and support engineers are filing bugs/enhancements. The more embedded you are, the bigger an authority you become with your writing.

>is not the point of view of SIGPLAN, ACM or IEEE research about how a OOP language is supposed to be.

Which is neither here, nor there. It's how OOP is thought of and practiced in real life by the statistically significant majority, so that's above what Alan Kay thought it should be or what SIGPLAN or the ACM or IEEE thinks "how an OOP language is supposed to be".

Terms take their meaning from actual mass usage, not from their inventors or what researchers think they should refer to.

.NET Core 2 to 3 definitely had this feeling that their vision for the framework wasn't complete. Going from 5 -> 6 -> is pretty painless.

Meta is burning $10B/yr to build Metaverse. They are also loading up on massive debt. This is the part I don’t understand. Development is expensive but NOT this expensive! A back of the envelope calculation suggests that one can build an entire search engine infrastructure and product for the same price. Something like HoloLens from scratch would cost LESS than half of that price. A full competitive self driving E2E stack development will cost about half. Developing entire smartphone hardware and OS from scratch would cost about a third of that money. Moon worthy space rocket development will cost a tenth of this budget. One can do so much with $10B that it is absolutely mind blowing.
I wonder then if it's an error on the providers side? Because I had Extreme and Severe on, AMBER and Test off, and Vibration On (under alert preferences for wireless emergency alerts).

I had a b&w G3 and i remember actually being a little miffed that Apple introduced the G4 version only a few months later. At some point I upgraded the CPU to a G4 anyway (when you could still do that sort of thing on a Mac), so I guess it didn't make a lot of difference.

But if there were, no one would get away with fractional reserves (at least anywhere near the reserve requirements banks that deal with dollars have). A huge reason why the FDIC works is that the fed can always bail them out in the worst case (see also: 2008). Can't do that with crypto for obvious reasons.

> Except, in the engineering sense, dealing with rough surfaces/potholes should absolutely be filed under "normal use".

I never claimed otherwise.

The engineers' original model of function was faulty, and should've included rough surfaces/potholes. But since it (obviously) didn't, that makes rough surfaces/potholes an exceptional circumstance in the context of their model.

Theoretically possible in the sense that the lines exist and are connected? I don't know for sure, and while it may be a very convoluted route, I wouldn't be surprised.

EDIT: This map[1] suggests you could do Norwich -> Birmingham New Street -> Bristol Temple Meads. Without having to go through London, I suspect this is indeed possible without changing trains, even if no operator runs that route.

>Similarly, unless you hammer the private sector with mandates it'll never build solar panels atop parking lots?

Clearly not coz it happens (profitably) outside of France without mandates.

What data do you have that leads you to suppose it will make zero difference?

A quick google suggests that if all the Walmarts alone in the US did this it would provide 11GW. 11GW is coincidentally how much incoming nuclear capacity France has under construction (not enough to replace capacity going offline).
This regulation is only necessary because these exchanges are actually banks in disguise. They're leveraging customer deposits and taking on the risk of fractional reserve banking with none of the backstops to protect them.

Cryptocurrencies were meant to be used in a decentralized manner. These centralized pseudobanks are everything that's wrong with this space and I hope they do get regulated.
Docker networking complicates a lot of stuff if you're using bridges and overlays, especially WireGuard, which wholly depends on UDP and is insanely unfriendly once NATs come into play. Using --net=host or configuring a macvlan network to give the containers real IPs usually helps.

Also doesn't help that linuxserver/wireguard's docs are basically like "Oh, yeah, if you use this for connecting to your VPN from outside of your house (which, like, 99.95% of people installing WireGuard are trying to do), routing might be an issue and is left as an exercise for the reader."

(Funny enough, Tailscale is to WireGuard what Docker is to containers. They recognized that wg is amazing but amazingly complicated to get going with, especially through NAT/CGNAT, so they drastically simplified that, added amazing UX on top of it, and are raking in that VC cash. Can't wait to read "hurr durr tailscale dumb, wg-quick amirite" in like five years after Tailscale is a multi-billion dollar networking juggernaut)
The tone is amazing. I live on a ‘prison island’ (New Zealand). Describing him as ‘The best epidemiologist in the world’ in the intro.
This is so sad. I was unfamiliar with this whole dispute, but I've been a huge fan of the Doom 2016 soundtrack ever since that game was released. The music was absolutely essential to the game and it's amazing to me that they apparently didn't realize that and didn't treat the author as essential to the game development process.

I'm also worried that he apparently hasn't sued or settled yet. At least based on his story, it looks like he may have some amazing claims here, and any plaintiff-focused contract/IP firm worth its salt would be beating down his door to get this case. But some of his claims are likely state law claims that are subject to a statute of limitations that has either run at this point or is about to run, and settlement negotiations generally don't toll the statute of limitations. Get on it!

Worth noting this same criticism applies to other silver bullets. If we were to snap Thanos' glove and instantly terraform Mars and move half of the population there, and carried on in the same way, we'd exhaust the resources of both Earth and Mars in short order.
China is an authoritarian state so that will mostly be a problem for the pensioners, probably wont hurt the rest of the country a lot.
Something I'd like to reminisce on for a second is the absolute amazing combination of both form and function the G3 and G4 standard tower case was, in my opinion. It was a machine that looked sleek and futuristic while also being 'made for work'. They were heavy beasts, but had the integrated handles. And the hardware layout inside... with the side panel that mounted the motherboard on the side that folded out with no tools, just a pull on the latch.. and the PSU cable and hard drive cables all made to route to where they ran at the hinge, allowing the fold out to be so clean and presenting the whole board so perfectly. The closest modern equivalent is something like a HP Z8 series (I now own an 840 as a workstation), but with GPUs and CPU coolers being so massive, it just cannot be as elegantly packaged as those simpler PPC machines.
Don't forget that decentralization trends toward inequity too. A key function of 'centralized' government is protecting individuals from the tyranny of their local majority.
Many thought that commerce was switching to online.

But in fact stores reopened and people went back to massively buy at stores instead of offline. Parenthesis is closed.
Those people knowingly didn't escape the sinking boat and decided to work at Meta. We can say this for every social media platform company and their employees.

I worked at Facebook when covid first hit. Zuckerburg treated everyone in the company very, very well. There was a blanket "don't worry about performance, take care of your families" guarantee that honestly was an enormous help.

The thing that particularly struck me though was the way he handled contract workers like (some of) the kitchen staff, cleaners, etc. These people don't work for Facebook and he had zero obligation to them, yet he paid all of their wages for the full length of the pandemic just so they could stay afloat.

If it were just about the money, I doubt he'd have done this.

With https://www.highflux.io/ we try to make this git workflow even easier by automating the necessary steps with a simple UI.

You can just work in your feature branch, your changes get automatically rebased and when your done your branch gets merged as a single commit.

Apple's historically been pretty good at making this stuff. Their first 68k -> PPC emulator (Davidian's) was so good that for some things the PPC Mac was the fastest 68k mac you could buy. The next-gen DR emulator (and SpeedDoubler etc) made things even faster.

I suspect the ppc->x86 stuff was slower because x86 just doesn't have the registers. There's only so much you can do.
People don't want to learn git because it's a bad tool. There are better source control systems, that are far easier to reason about, but they don't have the proliferation that git does.
Dylan quite famously had a "split" with the folk purists for his love
of electric guitar, so isn't sentimental about traditions, tools and

The content he seems to admire in folk and blues could hardly be more
scathing of the "violence of the man", making him a paragon of protest
and anti-corporatism for 7 decades. Most successful artists seem to
trade their right to rail against power for fame, but Dylan still
managed to speak powerfully through his BBC Radio 6 Music show, mainly
by his playlist choices and adding short, knowing commentary. A
message I still think he speaks is on art as a tool for social change,
which seems increasingly crushed by the nihilism of "comfort and
convenience".

Yeah if you just use commits as they are intended then the complexity of git drops off massively. I’ve used got for a decade and want to know how many times I’ve rebased? Zero
> Odds are Apple will eventually remove Rosetta II, as they did Rosetta back in the days, once they consider the need for that bridge to be over (Rosetta was added in 2006 in 10.4, and removed in 2011 from 10.7).

The difference is that Rosetta 1 was PPC → x86, so its purpose ended once PPC was a fond memory.

Today's Rosetta is a generalized x86 → ARM translation environment that isn't just for macOS apps. For example, it works with Apple's new virtualization framework to support running x86_64 Linux apps in ARM Linux VMs.

> literally want to get rid of jails altogether

We obviously need some jails, but at the same time your incarceration rate in NYC is 5x higher than my city. Would reducing jail sentence terms and providing some leniency at sentencing not be an option? Is everybody just a hardened criminal over there?

edit:

I know you mention this

> carceral reform (good thing, more complicated in reality)

It's obviously not as simple as just "reduce jail terms", but it seems like the thing to demand when your government is jailing such a huge amount of the population comparatively. Even when you compare against 3rd world and authoritarian countries it's just too large of a number -- it can't be that the Americans are just built so they commit crime more. Why would you not want more of your citizens to live fuller, more accomplished lives rather than rotting in shitty prisons?

Ask HN: How can a senior software engineer shift to low-level job
I am a senior software engineer with over 8+ years of experience. My main focus in the last years is what the industry calls "Fullstack Developer". I recently realized that I enjoy working on things that are more "low-level" like researching network protocols, linux kernel, filesystems, etc.

I started looking for jobs that intrigue me technically, like for example:
"eBPF developer"
"Linux Agent Developer'
"Linux Internals Developer"
"Senior Software Engineer, Linux Kernel"
"Senior Software Engineer, Filesystem"
"Senior Software Engineer, Protocols"

to some of the above I got referred by friends who vouch me professionally and to some I applied online.
Without exceptions, everyone declinded me for not having enough experience related.

I am wondering to myself, as a senior developer with so many projects on his belts in so many different areas of software development (that obviously don't fit a single CV page) why would no one consider me? of course that I'll have some learning curve in those jobs but who won't?
It goes without saying but any backend/frontend/fullstack job accepts me without blinking.

What do you suggest me to do? how can a senior software engineer shift his area of expertise without going through being a junior again
True, I am relying on their statement. That said, my personal experience is that Netflix is generally still binge-able while every other streaming service is not. Maybe you and I are watching different content.
If their focus is on the cloud, getting people to not use Windows may be a feature not a bug. How much revenue relative to Azure does Windows deliver?
It felt much slower than the Dells I would use in the college's computer lab. These things were not performant out of the gate, given OS 9 totally well: sucked, and OS X itself released a year+ later was not heavily optimized and nothing else ran natively, so you were running everything under the OS 9 env anyways.

I think people forget the incremental improvements in optimization of the whole stack that was done and punted off as features. There's an old video of Steve Jobs showing off resizing a window in OS X by the dragging the corner and marveling that it would do that so fluidly and not tear all over the place like the previous version.

Your comment is being intentionally dismissive of the grandparent's post. The false inference is that everyone who uses the word "just" is intending to be dismissive.

That's what I don't like about articles like this. It tries to establish some kind of universal rule that questions like "Could you just cache the hot partition keys?" are automatically rude, without considering any context. Context matters. A person could ask that question in a well-meaning way, and it could even end up being a helpful suggestion! A person could also ask that question in a dismissive and arrogant way. It depends on the person and the relationship between the speaker and the listener. Intent matters.
Severance is a distributed load that all shareholders + employees bear. Taking personal responsibility means personal action to resolve. Not making a decision to use the resources of others for one's own guilt. (at least this is my own ethical framework)
