The k&r-style function definitions apparently amused only me, but are beside the point regardless.

Single-pass compilation is very pertinent. One tenet of c's design is that it should be compilable in a single pass (which is why it is compilable in a single pass, unlike many other programming languages). This is relevant to us because it allows us to make predictions about the language; in particular, if the addition of some feature would cause c to not be compilable in a single pass, we can predict that the feature will not be added to the language. Notice that I have not made any value judgments. You may disagree about the importance of supporting single-pass compilers, but I am not the person you need to convince of that.
Better than parents using their phones whilst their kids are playing?
great, I can't wait to buy a new Mac Air with the most powerful consumer chip ever made paired with 8gb ram and 128g HD.

Note: I have a M1 Air that I love, best computer I've ever owned.
I'm extremely sceptical about so many aspects of this device: Are the displays going to be sharp enough to feel immersive? Are the controls going to be accurate enough to not be annoying? Will it be comfortable for extended use? Will the virtual screen system truly offer more than a normal screen? And there's so many more things...

However, I have to concede that Apple has a history of entering a market only when they think they got it right. And often enough, they do get it right, so I'm also hopeful that a lot of these concerns won't be big issues.

I'm definitely excited to try it out.
Are you considering this a bad thing?

That's cool
I agree, especially if you can get multiple screens on your Mac.
They just specifically mentioned that in the presentation 15 minutes after you suggested it. Good eye.
I run desktop linux at home, and agree with the concerns/frustrations about running MacOS but I've never understood the complaints about Apple's pricing.

The products do come at a bit of a premium, but, in my experience, it's well earned and is a premium experience as well. There have been occasional periods of sub-par hardware, but generally (and especially current generation) Apple's hardware is extremely well designed and durable.

On top of that, I don't get the software engineer aversion to paying for quality tools. How many hours a year do you spend on a computer? How many hours over the lifetime of the computer will you spend? Even if devs weren't generally in top income brackets it would still be easily justifiable to spend several thousand dollars on tools that you were happy with.

Again, I completely understand not wanting to go with Apple in order to have much finer grained control over your system. But if Apple is selling what you're buying, then the pricing is more than fair imho.
AI has been used in a lot of ways, from a philosophy standpoint I’d like to insist it be used only when a meaningful definition of intelligence is applicable and other usages be considered incorrect going forward.
Looks like Android Beam has finally been ported to iOS after Android removed it because nobody ever used it.
Mass adoption seems questionable but boy there is so much potential here, in bespoke work settings like health, media, manufacturing and simulation training. Might end up being revolutionary as a work device.
Yesterday I found myself using PHP again after many years. It feels like being in Alice's wonderland. Much doesn't make sense, but it is quite fun when it does what you expect. The quirkiness of arrays is just amazing, being either simple objects or arrays depending on how you feel. The world would be poorer without it.
(Unsafe is a superset, not a subset, incidentally)
It’s gotten to the point where I was worried the Mario movie might have sex/gender propaganda in it. Luckily it was just a kids movie.

There are few “just kids movies” these days. Puss in boots was the last one previously.
If Rust was a higher-level language, then I'd say yes, just automatically handle running Futures in parallel, join them when you actually need to resolve the data, and pretend that they look like synchronous functions in the 80% of cases. Though things like `select!` wouldn't make any sense mixing the two.

I continue to find the "function coloring" argument misses the point unless you're arguing from a developer experience perspective. Why should two fundamentally different things look and function the same? Want this the ultimate pitfall of early RPC implementations where everything looks synchronous?

In Rust, a lot of the friction is due to how async functions/futures fundamentally differ in model of execution and how that interplays with the rest of the language. Other languages get to hand-wave a lot of these problems away with a GC. (It certainly could be less of a pain nonetheless.)

- Futures don't execute until polled, can partially execute if something isn't ready (and would block), can partially execute and be arbitrary cancelled and dropped. There is no equivalent in sync functions unless you make them co-routines.

- Since you can "pause" futures if something would block, you need a place to store the function's state for when it's resumed. Now you must be consider if the async function's state is `Send` if the future wants to move to a different thread to continue executing -- which is why you see `pin!` used. Sync functions don't care about this since you always run to completion on the same thread, and the stack is ephemeral.

- Likewise, the `Future` returned by the async function is going to need to encapsulate it's state that it saves. In the general case, this is a compiler generated anonymous struct that changes if any state saved across `.await` changes, hence the opaque `impl Future`. This is why you see `BoxedFuture` a lot to abstract this away at the expense of an allocation. Ideally, the new associated types with lifetimes can avoid this with traits.

So if all functions were co-routines (i.e. functions that can be resumed and re-entered) they would all have the same "color". But all you really did was "lift" all sync functions to be "async" functions with no internal await points.

(IMHO, if the C# team back in the day decided to implement full blown co-routines into the language instead of just `async/await` as a compiler trick, I think many other projects would have followed suit with a more general co-routine solution instead of treating `async/await` as this special thing which is just a specific compiler generated implementation of co-routines.)
I think monospaced fonts are still popular in the plan9/golang crowd using the acme text editor. googling "dennis ritchie acme" leads to this : https://anders.unix.se/2015/10/28/screenshots-from-developer... is that it ?
They're talking about this now. Sounds basically like this, except 3d. They also have lips (using downwards facing cameras I guess).
They showed an external battery that can be used for ~2 hours if it's not plugged into the wall.

The article's silence on the Nazi symbolism displayed among those fighting on the Russian side paints a picture of "Ukrainians are not as averse to Nazi symbols as Western sensibilities dictate" rather than the more accurate picture of "soldiers are not as averse to Nazi symbols as Western sensibilities dictate". The article's focus on Ukrainian personnel not satisfying said sensibilities and ostensibly supporting Russia's propaganda entirely misses the bigger point: Russia's propaganda is hypocritical projection and can be dismissed entirely.
The price endangers it the same way the high price killed the Star Wars Starcruiser at Disneyland. Most of the people who want it won't be able to afford it, the people who can afford it mostly won't want it.
Some of the smaller updates will be a nice QOL bump for me:

> For easier and more secure password and passkeys sharing, users can share passwords with a group of trusted contacts. Everyone in the group can add and edit passwords to keep them up to date. Since sharing is through iCloud Keychain, it’s end-to-end encrypted.

>Maps adds offline maps, so users can download a specific area and access turn-by-turn navigation, see their estimated time of arrival, find places in Maps, and more while offline. Maps also makes it easier than ever to discover thousands of trails in parks across the United States, and supports electric vehicle drivers with real-time charging availability information.

>AirTag can be shared with up to five other people, allowing friends and family to keep track of an item in Find My. Everyone in a group will be able to see an item’s location, play a sound, and use Precision Finding to help pinpoint the location of a shared AirTag when nearby. This also works with all other Find My network accessories.
Yes, but Apple's version has a fancy swooshing animation
The cost of the request is often based on how many man hours it will take to fulfill. Different agencies have different rates / different capabilities for performing the document search itself. Some agencies may also reflexively deny requests, which would require a lawyer to sue them to get resolution if you believe the denial doesn't legitimately meet legal exception requirements.

I didn't know it had a name. But having been associated with both Dartmouth and Cornell, I've definitely heard complaints about the issue.
Of course, that's part of the joke. If we can't laugh, we can only cry.

Your edit is correct. I was just going to reply. Your stream seems to be ahead of mine :(
Most people don’t care about sideloading.
I'd be surprised if we get a gen 3 of this (I bet we'll get a gen 2 to slash cost)
Finally! AirTags are great but linking them to a single user was a significant limitation.
The hardware looks beautiful, as is to be expected from Apple - I just don't think the appetite is there for a general purpose productivity headset, the big wins in VR/AR seems to be very specialized and mostly around things like manufacturing and design/engineering instead of just typical office work.

Yes of course. That is why I used the word "alleged".

My point stands, the SEC is not going after Binance just for "being above board but not getting the right license".
I was living in Kyiv during the last Chernobyl fires (2020) - they were BIG.

Neither of those will have 3D capabilities or be able to use any of their spatial APIs. Seeing regular 2D photos/videos on a VR headset is nothing special.

Pharma "research" categorization of expenses is maximized. In part to create sympathy for long patent terms, in part to obscure the role of government funded research underlying many pharma products, and in part to maximize tax benefits.
The two need to work together. The switch on the wall needs to be smart as anyone in my house needs to be able to use it to control the bulbs, without having to open an app. Okay, if you can ensure a thief cannot control my lights while I'm my house I'm good with that, but I have kids, guests, and sometimes I don't have a device on me: it must work for all of them the first time and every time. A bulb cannot do that alone, it must have a smart switch (I've used the flip the switch off/on to control the bulb - it is not an acceptable work around).

The bulb however need the ability to charge color temperature and brightness depending on what I want, and a smart bulb seems best (though dumb dimming bulbs can to work well enough)
> I was hoping this would be usable for camping.

What? Why?
Are there any payment processors you can recommend, especially re. fraud protection? We have started out with stripe (because the API is so damn convenient), but HN has so many stories like this were seriously reconsidering that choice.
It's a shame that in every one of these threads someone from stripe steps in and promises to sort everything out for one customer, but the underlying issues never get resolved.

I'm not saying that fraud is an easy problem to solve, but I think you're absolutely right that this is a case of misaligned incentives. If it were Stripe's liability, it would get solved for _everyone_, rather than being in this middle ground where if you're lucky you might get help if you post on HN

> Strip congress and the medical board of their ability to control the number of residency spots and you will see the free market correct itself.

This is nonsensical. Residency spots are not controlled by the government. Government funding for residency spots is controlled by Congress, because Congress is responsible for all government spending.

The only way to have Congress less involved in residency spots would be to eliminate all government funding for residency programs, but that would have the opposite effect of what you likely want, because residency programs by and large lose money (that's why Congress provides the subsidy in the first place).
That explains why every other user was a floating head; that would let them generate the same.
No, it's not. It will apply to strangers as well.

Although it’s the least used app for many of us, with iOS 17, the Phone app will be upgraded with a feature Apple is calling “Personalized Contact Posters” so instead of just your name and number showing up on the iPhone of someone you’re calling, they’ll see a customized image (or memoji) and **text of your choosing which could help persuade them into answering your call***. Apple also promises the Contact Posters will “also be available for third-party calling apps.”

Same reaction here. It was a classic movie scene where our protagonist is watching old home movies of their deceased family.
To me the important part of this is not how it looks, but the potential for this.

It is clear that this is a a first product in a category that will change a lot over the next several years, especially as the hardware improves.

I don't see Apple discontinuing this quickly like Google Glasses and Microsoft HoloLens.

I would not wear this out, but in a few years maybe things can shrink down enough to make that more realistic.

Russians are painted as evil as Nazi in American movies and yet I love MIGs and everything I know about MIGs and AKs and their resilence I learned from movies.

A movie needs to depict close contest in order to be entertaining (even if the good guys eventually win). A close contest always brings PR to the losing side as well.

The hardware is no doubt impressive, as expected, but I just can't see myself in any of the situations they keep showing in VR/AR demos.

Does someone really sit on their couch, put on a massive headset, and scroll through their vacation photos? Does someone watch an entire 2+ hour movie with a sweaty headset strapped to them (and plugged in to a socket) instead of on a couch with their family/friends? Would I want to be in a group call with generated avatars of people rather than their actual faces? If the kids are having a fun moment would I want to run inside, grab my headset, strap it on and record a video, or just go join them? Would I rather work on this all day instead of a laptop?

And the one thing I could maybe see this being useful for – gaming – was barely even mentioned in their keynote.

If I'm dropping $3,500 and cutting myself off from the outside world (and no, that weird eye display thing doesn't count), a half-assed substitute for consuming the same content as I would on any other screen isn't going to cut it.

A sales tax of any sort can be avoided by not buying the product. I assumed nobody would misinterpret the common colloquial term "Apple tax" (meaning "Apple's much higher than typical profit margin"), which I didn't invent and has been used widely for a very long time.
Not much of a surprise. Apple won't introduce installing downloaded apps unless they're forced, and the EU law that'll force them to enable external sources won't be enforced until next year.

When I switch to C++11 and unitue_ptr things got a lot better. There is still a lot of cruft from old code, but C++ is a lot better as of 12 years ago. I don't let people manage raw pointers without good reason (I wouldn't let someone use unsafe rust without good reason either)
It's a failure for those who want to weaken rightsholders' hands, which presumably includes anyone who wants to see the patent system completely torn down.
