You can statically link at least GTK applications (less sure about Qt, never tried), but many build systems don't support it very well and it requires some amount of hackery.

The best trade-off is probably "link against libc, statically link everything else". That gives you dlopen() and some security benefits. But again, build systems don't support it very well out of the box.

I think the outright hostility against static linking has been unfortunate, because now we have a whole bunch of "static linking, but with extra steps" systems to work around it. Dynamic linking is fine for many things, but it's obviously not always the best solution.

It's disappointing that essentially nothing really improved in the 10 years since Linus gave that talk. Okay, there's flatpak and appimage and snap which are an "improvement" of sorts, but it's all pretty complex and half the time when I wanted to run one it didn't work well.
> You need to understand how sandboxing work.

That's pretty much my job. Can you be more concrete with what you're talking about instead of this passive agressive "you don't know what you're talking about" tone?

Flatpak and Snap are pretty much using the same primitives as containers, they just don't like using the word because of existing connotations. Mandatory access controls are neat, but nobody actually uses them unless the default doesn't disturb them or they have a compliance requirement.

> A pretty poor track record.

Modern containerd, after having been split up from Docker/Moby, has a better track record than most other sandboxing tools. I mentioned a laughably bad one that the Arch wiki and many HN users still seem to endorse.
> banks have real power and a clash is inevitable now or in the near future

Bitcoin was derailed from being peer to peer electronic cash to this strange "store of value" that doesn't store value. It heppened almost six years ago, back in 2017.
Vision Pro implies a non-pro version could be possible. Cheaper and less funcionality. Either way its an interesting new product and knowing apple they wont ditch it after a couple of years. At this price its just going to be the pro users and richer people that buy it, but hopefully its going to spawn competitors from Samsung and the Chinese companies, at a much lower price but with less functionality.
This is the "pro" verison, maybe eventually Apple will sell non-pro version that can connect with the pro one, but at a much lower price, then you can create experience for the whole familiar, if the set of 4 can cost <$6000, then it will be the same as a 8K tv + sound bar + a couple of work monitors.
I don't know about that. My AirPods just work in a way that no other wireless headphones do with my iPhone. Using them is delightful. I still rock a Gen 1 pair which would no longer be "cool"
Not just iOS. That's all mobile OS's, as they all keep trying to re-invent the wheel each year so they can have something big to unveil to shareholders and customers.
> banks have real power and a clash is inevitable now or in the near future

Bitcoin was derailed from being peer to peer electronic cash to this strange "store of value" that doesn't store value. It happened almost six years ago, back in 2017.
Yeah. The value prop of the Quest 2 is really good as far as a hardware product, but the cohesive product vision for AR/VR that Apple just presented is far beyond anything Meta has shown to the public.
I think a separate drone or cyborg will come out that does these recordings for us

It's unfortunate that there's still no mmap equivalent for I/O in the browser, so you can't do demand paging or anything like that. Nothing approaching zero-copy either, you're typically looking at two copies or more. At least the OS page cache will probably help you out.
100% agreed. This is going to be the point in history that people will remember when Apple went too far and how it destroyed the company...or destroyed the Apple as we know it today.

I've understood every single Apple product so far (with some small exceptions) but this is just DOA. People are used to thinking that Apple doesn't go into a product space unless they can really nail it in terms of implementation and pricing.

There is no excuse for 3499. This product is dead. If they can't manufacture it any cheaper they should have never done it.
This is the "pro" verison, maybe eventually Apple will sell less powerful non-pro version that can connect with the pro one, but at a much lower price, then you can create experience for the whole familiar, if the set of 4 can cost <$6000, then it will be the same as a 8K tv + sound bar + a couple of work monitors.

The Labs were a pressure cooker though. Not everyone was or could be a Ritchie, Thompson, Chu, or Stormer but that was the standard. Freewheeling research was only sustainable a when it had virtually unlimited funding due to the AT&T monopoly. When I got there in late 1990, the breakup had long since taken root and the culture was in flux. The AT&T business units were now being taxed to pay for R&D and they wanted returns on their investment. The VP of Research had also announced his intention to emphasize the software side (including math, CS, etc.) over hardware (physics, chemistry, materials, etc.)

The permanent members of technical staff in the physical sciences were under tremendous pressure to be both world-leading scientists while somehow being applied enough to help AT&T long distance fight off MCI and other competitors who had no R&D arms. There was no guidance on how to do this except "Well, work harder."

I will always be grateful to them for shielding me and the other postdocs from all the turmoil. It would have been very easy for them to say, "You're on your own" and look out for themselves but they always made time to talk to us and give us whatever support we needed. Needless to say, I miss that spirit.
Those micro-OLED displays alone will drive the cost that high. Still kinda shocked to see them at this scale and in a product!
The difference, I'd argue, is that generally the loser of an election makes a public statement conceding that they lost. 2000 definitely was an outlier in this regard as well, but I think it still differed in that the disagreement was about counting the votes, not about the integrity of the election itself. Once you have a major candidate who's willing to make a baseless claim of fraud and a "stolen" election, suddenly the process that used to happen behind the scenes quietly in the past to count and verify the result that was announced earlier is put under a microscope and analyzed by people who have no idea how that process actually works, which is...well, almost everyone.

WWDC 2023 – My first reactions with the perspective of a penguin
I think this is very point on. This is not the sweet spot on the supply demand curve that maximizes the units sold * price per unit. But at this point in time, that's not actually what Apple would want/need with this new "innovation". They need a limited set of people who are zealous enough to jump in at that price, and help refine the product. Apple gets feedback and a publicity that will be biased positively. "Let's drop 3500+ and then pan this thing" will not fit the majority of reviewers. But "I spent discretionary money that you didn't/don't have and I want you to know it, and I'm certainly going to paint it as a wise first mover type experience" is more likely. People who pay more for seats at a game, always make a bigger deal about how awesome the game was.
Thr fact that the battery is separate should be a huge improvement for comfort because one of the biggest problems with most existing devices is their weight. Another thing to check is how much heat the device transfers to the user. Or in general the comfort. Also the fact that you can easily see you surroundings should help.
Aside from storming the Capital, intending to beat & murder politicians they don’t like, smearing feces on the walls and parading confederate flags through it, and general white rage, you mean?
I got a Valve Index 2 months ago for VRChat. Turns out there's a huge music and dance community on VRC that spends a rediculous amount of money on various things to make it more usable.

The Index is $1000. Then some people get extra base stations which are $200 a pop. Then if you dance with full body tracking most people get Vive Tracker 3.0 which you need 3 for feet and waist. Add the $2000 gaming desktop I use for powering it and you're already at the price of the Vision Pro.

Except the Vision Pro is stand alone and has some really nice quality of life hacks that I haven't seen before in the VR space.

Also dancing in a VR rave is a pretty good workout and you get to meet tons of cool people. It sort of self selects for cool tech nerds. So far I've met a ton of amazing people through it.
I fully expect iPhone pros to start having the 3d camera in the next gen or 2
> Would I rather work on this all day instead of a laptop?

That really is the $3,500 question. Can I see myself preferring to work streaming my Mac's screen to a Vision Pro for my IDE, having and things like Slack and e-mail off to the side running on the headset? I don't know, but if I can, this seems worth it to me.
I have an M1 Air and an iMac Pro (3.2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W) and quite often I feel as though the M1 is faster. Seems to be jumping ahead remarkably!
I think it's a good risk, and the kind of risk Apple is well-positioned (as a combined owner of hardware, software, and third-party software ecosystem) to take.

Major we'll-see risk factors I identify:

1) $3,500 is expensive, any way you slice it. That makes it price-competitive with a workstation.

2) The stand-up-and-work environment they demo'd doesn't work for a lot of people. But if you sit down, you lose a lot of the benefit of that panoramic space.

3) Their gesture interface has to be rock-solid (meaning no false negatives but also no false positives) for it to be part of a daily work environment.

4) We've been experimenting with headsets for long enough to know that for the average user, the amount of time you can comfortably use one is lower than the amount of time seated at a mouse-keyboard-monitor UI.

5) The battery life is 2 hours, which is like nothing. You can use it plugged in, but then you're plugged in (meaning not only that you're tethered to somewhere, but that you've got the constant pressure of the tether disrupting your head motions, which adds up over time in irritation).

All of that having been said, if anyone has a prayer of overcoming these obstacles it's Apple. They've got the software / hardware / UI / UX integration in-house to take a solid run at the challenge.

It's sort of evolved to the "What's that Chromecast thing again?" for me. (Which I thought was super-underrated.) And I guess I could maybe upgrade my big TV which would be an absolute hassle and is perfectly good for my purposes--and might not even be better at this point. Not a frequently in my hand thing but for ~$100 and really nice, perfectly good.

There's a scifi or apocolyptic story in here.

Environmental extremists come to the conclusion that irradiating large patches of Earth to make it unlivable for humans but is a net benefit to the non human ecosystem because the damage from human habitation far exceeds the damage from radiation. And of course, life evolves and adapts to the radiation. Then they start seeding dirty bombs to intentionally create more and more of these no go zones that become nature sanctuaries.

I suppose "The 100" is partially playing into this concept.
This is pretty much already a laptop without a display. It’s powered by an M1 chip and R1 visual processor (or whatever Apple is calling it), with an external laptop-size battery included. It’s laptop in new form factor.

What compelling use cases did the average consumer see for carrying around a computer in their pocket before Apple released the iPhone? There were a bunch of devices on the market all kinda doing what iPhone did, but Apple made it make sense for the average consumer.
Can you elaborate on "this"? How is this better than Meta's product line?
I mean, they said it's got 23 million pixel microOLED.

Dual 4K would be 16.5M pixels.

So it's comfortably 40% more than 4K per eye, so as long as say a virtual TV screen filled up most of your vision it should be at least close to 4K quality. Maybe a bit less in the end, but even somewhere between 1080p and 4K should look great.

Ever been to a movie theater using digital 2K projectors? Looks pretty good to me still.

Considering what I paid for my Apple XDR display, $3500 is a bargain.

No wireless. Less pixels than an 8K TV. Lame.

What do you think the odds are we can get H100s or equivalent in Mac Studio?
No clue, but I'd assume this is like any other pro Apple device that will have a bluetooth or some external device SDK and 3rd parties will make controllers for games.
> Tracking moves is fundamental here.

I mean, arguably. If it is fundamental for your hypothetical use case, then sure, but this is not required for a lot of use cases, like smart pointers.
What about of distance and and field of view? I haven’t seen any metrics to complete the picture.
> The AirPods you see all the time is because wearing them is a fashion statement. You're "hip" or "rich" or whatever you want it to signal. That's what driving the sales.

Exactly the opposite is true among the people I know. People feel like dorks wearing AirPods in public, but often find themselves doing it anyway because they're convenient. (I know this, because it still comes up in conversation all the time.)

Not sure this tells us anything much about the Vision Pro, though--except, perhaps, that some people will happily use the product even if it looks dorky, if the user experience is on point.
I think this is where the unification of Mac/iPhone/iPad has all been leading.
If they have that kind of time, and no life I would find that rather amusing...

I am sure they would tire of it long before I would get offended by it. and I can assure you I would could, and have responded far more decisive and penetrating insults...

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but what's the point of the above post if you don't use Lisp? I've been writing Lisp at the hobby level for a few years now, and my opinion is my own.

I also think you misread what I wrote. Lisp and s-expressions are weird. That they take some time to get comfortable with (an "acquired taste") is both my personal opinion, obtained from my own experience, and is also generally accepted among Lisp users that I've spoken to. It's hardly dismissive.
There was the Disney demo and the few developer demos, which were properly AR/VR.
The Apple haters need to know what to be angry about and agree on talking points. HN is as good a place as any to do that.

These links seem to be self defeating in nature.

First, most of them are math related, except you get the computer to do the math. You can't (or shouldn't) be able to own or outlaw math.

The last link is a Support Vector Machine as far as I can tell. Those were discovered in like 1964 according to Wikipedia. And then it was patented in 199x? That's absolutely wild
Ooof, the price point on this is killer ($3500). Will need to have some major differentiating features to justify that pricing compared to a Quest 3.

I know they are fundamentally different (Quest having roots in VR but also enabling passthrough AR and Vision Pro focusing on AR ala Microsoft HoloLens) but hard to chew on that price!

Apple TV is one of those apple devices you can't use unless you're "apple enough" -- you can't even set it up without having an iOS device to do 2FA.

Like 1984, Black Mirror isn't a dystopia because of technology, but because it's in England. If you leave I expect everything's fine. Also solves being converted into Cybermen for the 100th time.
So like the palmpilot had in the 1990's.. Cool.
But i'm so over people recycling old ideas and pretending they're new.
I have a personal web site with almost 1500 pages containing blog posts, newsletters, reviews, and articles going back to the late eighties. I've been slowly consolidating all my writing on this site. For years I had kind of assume that if I build it, (eventually) it will be discoverable via organic search. I recently determined that I had to put a Google ID on it and a sitemap file. So I've found scripts, imperfect thought they are, to crawl everything and make a sitemap. Google has indexed some of it, but seems to be stalled out, with the bulk of the pages stuck in the "Discovered, currently not indexed" state, and now I'm not sure if some of the best content will _ever_ be searchable via Google. Really disappointing.
What's the point of censoring only one character from the word "shitted"? Both you and everyone that reads your comment know exactly what you are saying, so it's not like you are shielding anyone from anything. And neither is there anyone who is going to punish you for saying a naughty word on the internet. What are you afraid is going to happen if you write "shitted"?

Show HN: Mdxcv – Craft your CV with Markdown and then share it with a link
Today is the day I officially announce mdxcv.com! It's something I have been thinking about for a few weeks but something that builds upon my years of experience. I have more improvements to add to it but for now it is as basic of an MVP as can be (ok maybe I did spend a little too much time on the details but that's just how it goes).
Suppose I'm willing to build an ecosystem of internal tools for my company. Can Sandstorm make my life easier in this kind of effort? Or is the added complexity simply not worth it? I'm curious about how I'd deal with data sharing in my enterprise if each user has a set of data "grains".
I think this looks cool as hell. The only thing that obviously sucks about it is how big it is. Admittedly I didn't really jump on the VR/AR hype train years ago so I don't know what's possible today. This headset gives me some serious uncanny valley vibes and kinda freaks me out which no other product in this space has ever done.
It's interesting that every single top HN thread is mostly unanimous praise for this device (which presumably no one has yet seen or used), while also painting themselves as the minority opinion.
> I doubt Apple is counting that.

Actually Apple hires private investigators to spy on the activities of their employees in order to determine how much carbon to offset.

Common knowledge.
Google Glass tried to pivot towards industrial use (eg, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IK-zU51MU4 ) - it didn't seem to go very well.
The check is still there, that's not under dispute. GP is saying that it's still not the "same thing" as C++, since Rust will refuse to compile the code unless you either perform the check, or actively opt into unchecked access. In contrast, C++ will happily compile the code if you unintentionally neglect to perform the check.
