Others mention how pies call for different apples. In the same vein, my father's cousin, a farmer and now sadly no longer with us, had a strong opinion about apples that were best for applesauce. Sadly, I don't remember which variety. He lived in rural Ontario, Canada, and knew the only farm in the area that grew that variety, so that's where we'd go to buy apples when it was time to make applesauce.
Afaik, in digital sound recordings it's basically an array of sampled amplitudes. And you need to know the sampling rate in advance, eg 44100 samples in a second. This is I think called PCM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation
I can confirm that this is common for players above a certain skill level (not me).
There is such a thing as technical debt. Apple couldn't have gotten so much performance with Rosetta 2 if it had to support 32-bit code. By dropping 32-bit support a year before the transition, they forced everyone to drop their last vestiges of old code. When the ARM transition then happened, it was smoother for everyone.

That you have to call this approach a mental illness is poor criticism.
If you can find a Kanzi, you need to try them. By far the best Apple available.

Nuclear power is well-known to be bad at reacting to fluctuations in demand, making it the worst option to offset wind and solar power.

An to answer your question, let me quote the first sentence of the article:

Germany can shift its entire electricity system onto solar, wind and batteries by 2030 for less than 1% of its GDP.

Apple developed the 68k emulator used in PowerPC Macs in-house, and never removed it.

Apple licensed Rosetta from Transitive at a time when they didn't have tens of Billions of dollars in cash lying around.

Rosetta 2 was developed in-house, but even if they were still paying a licensing fee every time they shipped a new OS version, it wouldn't even be a rounding error to their bottom line today.

Why would they be in any rush to remove Rosetta 2 at all?

Ask HN: Is document discovery and staleness a challenge for you?
In my years of experience working on teams and now with client teams, I've observed this repeatedly: (internal) documents are written and rarely if ever, updated again. Worse yet, often no one knows some documents/wikis/memos exist, which doesn’t bode well for knowledge sharing and awareness.

The problem is particularly bad with Google docs (can never find anything) but not much better even if you're using Notion et al. May be it's that these tools are dumb in that they purely focus on the single document editing experience, not on the organization or consumption aspect of a document tool.

I know there's a people aspect to it, but I also know that if I'm not even aware of a document's existence and can't easily find it, there's nothing one can do.

Not looking for solutions here but more like thoughts or lived experience if you relate to the problem.
You're not much younger than I. Only ever had a modest rig (for the
times) and a rotten ping, In those days playing on US or Scandinavian
servers from London with a ping of 250 was normal, and we used dial-up
modems. I hit my peak in FPS at about 30 and could stay top the board
in any counterstrike or team fortress server for as long as I
wanted. Always got accused of cheating of course.

I put my good playing skill down to knowing the maps. Most Unreal
Tournament, TFC and CS servers ran the same old maps all day and
night. I had every angle and line of sight worked out. Once you had a
few killer moves worked out it became muscle memory and anticipation.
What you see, in terms of great frames-per-second and resolution
becomes less important.

By 40 my reaction time had dropped. I got humiliated on new games. It
also took longer to learn new maps and find the good timing and sweet
spots. That part of my brain gets very little exercise these days.
> Is there a trade off in being stack efficient and speed?

It's just rust being slightly less efficient: it spends instructions doing unnecessary stack-to-stack copies, and has larger stackframes (to hold the redundant copies, which can be an issue both with deep recursion and for inlining).
I'll offer a companion scale that speaks to when/how we declare stuff done and ship it.

A. Levels 1 and 2. I ship stuff when it's as excellent and finished as I can possibly make it.

B. Levels 3 and 4. I'm too busy to get every last detail tidied up, but when I ship stuff, it's 90% of what I wanted it to be. I don't always nail the deadline 100%, but on both quality and timeliness, I'm respected and seen as someone who doesn't let the team down. I secretly like peeling away when it's almost done, because there's usually something more valuable and exciting coming next.

C. Level 5. I'm very erratic. On a few key projects, I'm still shipping in a pretty dependable way. But the amount of half-done stuff in my mental attic is scary. I've still got the willpower and credibility every now and then to offload/kill the most hopeless projects, and that gives me a bit of a reprieve.

D. Levels 6 and 7. I don't have a coherent approach to shipping. Incomplete work leaves my control when someone else seizes it from me. There's a ton of stuff that's half-done that I may never have time to revisit. I'm too tired to sort out anything -- or put up a fight.
this. i had a small business through 2007 as a copywriter. subprime crisis killed the customers, but i was only incorporated locally, through my state. all it cost me was $25 to dissolve the corporation, a simple postcard. my only real admin job was keeping my quarterly taxes up to date, which wasn't difficult. don't go large to start.
Are all those varieties reasonably common in the US? A good percentage I've never heard of, though as it happens Pink Lady is the one in the top category I see regularly in markets here (Aus), and indeed my preferred choice for eating fresh (which the rankings seem very biased toward - some apples are pretty ordinary fresh but great when cooked). Kanzi and Envy are moderately common too but I've never been blown away by them.
I've also had multiple people tell me "Cox's orange pippins" (or just Cox apples) are supposedly the king of apple varieties but not listed here.

Another good pairing with cheddar cheese is Mcintosh. When they're in season, they're great.

Lately I haven't been able to find mcintosh apples in the store (or if I did, they're mushy and gross). I suspect that's the case with a lot of these apples. The Mcintosh apples I got in Connecticut were great, but here in Texas they are trash.

And why should they? Did the games suddenly have new bugs? Are the game companies going to get more money for basically porting to a new OS?

People here complain about software subscription models, but then also like to complain about OS's that maintain backwards compatibility. I mean someone has to pay for engineers to spend their days keeping up with all that frequently pointless churn. Why would a game that works perfectly well with a 32-bit address space need 64 bits?

There isn't any reason for old programs to suddenly stop working because someone in the OS/library chain was to lazy to provide backwards compatible ABIs.
Yeah I'm never going to make the argument that HTML alone is adequate in most cases. Light JS, like as you said was featured on most sites of that era, is perfectly fine since the utility added is significant and the drawbacks very minimal. Same goes for images… highly optimized small PNG glyphs and small JPEGs are fine, you only start getting into trouble when loading multiple megabytes of images for purely ornamental purposes. My single core G5 and P4 machines handled such sites with ease, even with the (relative to now) badly optimized web engines of the 00s.

Problem is, light JS and small/optimized images are becoming more the exception than the rule. When devs have ample bandwidth and powerful machines they're much less likely to carefully weigh every dependency and unnecessarily large image.
Your bank account is the solidest non-money because FDIC insured up to $100,000. If it weren't, then it would be an IOU from a bank, worth whatever that trust is worth.

In your loan example, either you haven't spent the money they loaned you, which would then be reclaimed, or you have spent it, in which case someone else has it.

No money would be destroyed in either scenario, unless what you did with the loan was put it in a suitcase and burn it.

The only things that remove money from circulation are: bank accounts that only accrete (usually temporary, and thus not actual removal), taxes, and physical destruction.

There’s not an underlying principle here, just trying to avoid nasty surprises.

Many optimizations are in practice unreliable—they are buried in the depths of a compiler and not part of the docs, it may be difficult to find out what conditions are necessary for the optimization to work, you may find that an optimization stops working when you update your compiler, you may find that changing a seemingly-unrelated piece of code breaks the optimization (maybe some function is no longer inlined for various reasons), or you may use a different compiler.

So I prefer to write code that works correctly without optimizations. It’s not a hard rule, but in this scenario, I would prefer to rewrite the code—and this happens to be annoying here.

I think the whole industry around incorporation is a racket at this point. It's literally a database. It should not cost hundreds of dollars to put a record in a database, or keep it in there. Or thousands of dollars to tell you how to take it out.

I had stupidly incorporated something related to some fantasy idea I never ended up with the funds to pursue. A year later with zero actual activity, I am informed that I owe hundreds in taxes for it by the company that is in charge of the record or something. I tell them I need to dissolve it, they point me to their FAQ that says nothing useful. Or maybe it was selling me another dissolution service for hundreds of dollars. I don't remember. But it was actually two layers of companies, the retail and then the record keeping, then Delaware itself, all extracting hundreds in fees, for absolutely nothing to happen. I doubt anyone even searched for my business name in that time.

It's the type of thing that makes me want to root for the AIs to take over.

I think as an outsider you are completely missing the point: if Estonians ever wanted to give the Estonian citizenship to the residents who are unwilling to learn the official language of the country, they would have already done that.

Because by giving somebody a citizenship, you give them the right to vote. And who would the Russian speakers vote for, if they don't speak any Estonian? Pro-Russian parties and politicians.

If you don’t know a language but are hoping to read it, for what purpose are you intending to read it? Is it a casual understanding? If you’re talking about maintaining the code it’s probably better to stipulate that people already know the language. If you want to maintain code in a language you don’t know, I’m not sure you’d be a great hire.
I agree with you. I think the presence of START is accidental and is not supposed to be part of the script. The ELIZA code uses a Slip function called LISTRD to read the script rules one by one. If it reads an empty list it stops reading the script and begins the conversation. So I think the empty list at the end of the script had a reason to be there. Another accidental thing about the script in the CACM paper is that there are 6 duplicated lines, each one 34 lines from the previous one. I had not heard of Moiré logic.
I'm contributing to a book about ELIZA and its legacy. No publisher yet. The editors may be looking for other contributors. I realize this is not much to go on, but say if it might be of interest to you.

Americans and Europeans are pathetic hypocrites. The only reason they are able to continue to do this is because of global control on narrative, and insane wealth they already have.
I was born over 30 in terms of shooter skill, and my winning strategy has always been:

2. Play with friends.

I think a large part of being a good engineer is similar to becoming a good writer with the key difference of being a good writer on a paper that 10 other people are also helping to write.

So the challenge isn't just in developing the skill individually, but also collectively. No engineer is ever working alone on a project at work (and if they are its likely temporary).

Like prose and literature there are various styles, personal likes and dislikes, ways of problem solving etc.

Schools are concerned with imbuing in their students the skills to get a job. No fresh out of college employee is going to be the best of the group they join. It's impossible because the group they are joining will already have those same people but who also have more experience. School has to teach enough to make their graduates employable - often in the context of being at least on par with other schools curriculums so their students aren't at a disadvantage in the hiring pool.

I'd be surprised too with your assumption that schools don't have practical programming assignments that give students time to write code and develop their own style.

Unlike reading and writing, which we start learning extremely young, software is only exposed often at the beginning of college with just 4 short to learn and practice. It may also not be the sole focus.

Being a great writer requires the perspective of a reader, which is also difficult to map for teaching software - learning to read other people's code and write your own code in a way that is easy for others to read let alone modify and maintain is hard.

There really is just so much to learn and 4 years isn't enough to do it all. Schools have to balance the breadth and depth of different subjects so students can understand what's out there and also be on par with students from other schools.

That's why there is so much room to grow in this industry (like many others) from associate to mid, to senior, to lead, to staff and then principal/architecht/etc. Plus all the specializations.
I'm not so sure. It appears the parents capitulated to two weeks of "safety plan" to CPS when there was no abuse at all. I don't see much functional difference between "CPS found no abuse and stopped there" and "CPS found no probable cause of abuse, then brought it to judge who said WTF with the safety plan without probable cause of abuse" other than the latter shut down the whole safety plan BS.

CPS is basically the adversary in the court proceedings so I see the judge more as an additional layer in the swiss cheese rather than a replacement layer in the swiss cheese, which your previous statement seems to allude towards.
I mean, page 9 of the bankruptcy filing says Alameda Research loaned SBF $1,000,000,000 [1], and a couple billion in loans to other owners or companies owned by the owners.

Maybe he just fucked up. But when the music stops and instead of having your customers' money, you have a bunch of loans to the owners of the company... I'm not sure if "he just fucked up" is the simpler explanation, or the more credulous one.
