It's possible, but I think the more likely issue is nobody shipped very many devices with x86, because Intel cancelled development of x86 for phones[1] before they had many design wins.

Also, and I missed this at the time, it seems like Qualcomm was restricting manufacturers from also using competitors chips[2], although it seems the ruling was reversed on appeal [3], there's still evidence of restrictions. It would be unappealing to market an x86 device if it means losing access to Qualcomm cpus, especially in an era where Qualcomm modems were practically mandatory, so it makes sense that the only x86 (Asus Zenphone) I can think of is made by a company that didn't make a lot of phones.

Personally, I don't think the lack of app support would have been that much of a problem for sales of phones in the 2012 to 2016 time frame. If you got a couple hundred thousand phones out there, app developers would add support, because it wasn't too hard, a lot of developers were running x86 Android emulators, and they may have already had the x86 native code libraries and just didn't ship them because why bother when there's no phones.

Some of the first generation Asus Zenphone ran on x86, and it might have been rough for a while, but I think they sold reasonable numbers, and app developers started shipping x86 libraries. I don't know when Google Play added support for ABI specific APKs, maybe that was a factor too (if you have to have everything you support in the APK, then you'll be careful about what you support)

You’re arguing that feeling like everyone (or neurotypical people) is mentally disabled is not an example of superiority complex, right?
Today's best post on complexity to me was the I accidentally saved my company half a million dollars, which is a story filled yes with a lot of poor developers but much much worse is a story filled with Conway's Law style lessons. Of madcap organizations & wild legacy systems that we live atop & typically just have to make do with. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38069710 https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-accidentally-saved-half-a-...

So much of the grug-brained argumentation is same-side violence, is developers roasting developers. Assigning bad motives & declaring immoral bad people among us probably takes already same-side disdain & amplifies it, forments real & powerful hatred. Yes, various petty or criminal over engineering happens some, yes. But I usually think there are simpler Hanlon's Razor explanations that aren't even the individual's fault, are just the story of an org: an organizational body where so many constituent members of the body-whole have so little idea what others are doing or have done, and access to so few who can offer informed situational-appropriate wisdom for whatever dark end a squad finds itself tasked with.

In some ways, this has been the actual story of open source. We have not been end user facing. We have grow communities of practitioners with individual knowledge & experience that ports & can be compared & discussed with others, from outside our company. We get peership that companies can rarely afford or find after they grow mid-sized.

The Influx folks just talked about their 3.0, & replacing their custom built engine with Flight, DataFusion, Arrow, and Parquet. Maybe they might miss one box or two on neat nitty gritty optimizations (maybe this guy elsewhere in this thread, insisting on diy'ing binary encodings because protobuf doesn't have 16-bit ints can find some deficiencies, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38078133), but the nice to haves of ecosystem integration seems like an intangible, but one that lets little good things out there plug in & help out, and that seems invaluable.

The top comment to me epitomizes the worst of grug brainedness. It's smug & certain of itself, a strong & divisive Hanlon's violation of high degree. That kind of blue-on-blue attitude to me is far worse than 99% of the people who end up over engineering. Few organizations have real defense, lack coherency, to help themselves away from complexity, or they have such tight constraints that they overprune & disaffect those who do care and have good ideas. These are organizational issues, and having an org that can somehow see itself & what's afoot is the huge challenge. Stop hating on devs, please.

I have simply responded to your comment that seemed to me to be full of errors and misunderstandings. I even tried to not be antagonistic, yet you seem to be hostile and view it in the framing of goals and goalposts.
>The cost of developing a competitive CPU is high

It can be dodged by either licensing some of the hundreds of commercial core designs available, or by using one of the (several) available open source RISC-V implementations.

Other competitive ISAs also have a few -albeit not anywhere as many- open source implementations, but there's no dodging the ISA royalty fee on these.
> They also say "Because of the relatively small sample size, we did not make corrections for multiple comparisons.".

Do you think this is somehow a point in their defense? Corrections for multiple comparisons reduce the significance numbers of your results; probably they found that if they corrected for multiple comparisons their p-value was above 0.05 and they wouldn't be able to publish their paper, so they undid it. (Alternatively, they were lazy, so they skipped it).
I've implemented the same approach (non-parametric), and it worked well to speed up the search on my experiment with 384-dimensional embeddings of 30 million Hacker News comments.

I presented it in my talk, where you can see the speed comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGRNcftpqAk
You’re right. Intel had the money to push the performance on their chips because of all the sales to DOS/Windows users. Still neither company knew which platform was going to be dominant when they started.

We don’t know if Motorola could have done what Intel did given similar resources. Maybe they could have.

I fear MS will continue to struggle with ARM. The problem with Microsoft is they just don’t control enough big applications. There are just way too many little programs out there that people depend on.

Each time Apple moved the performance difference was enough to cover the cost. Plus it was clear you HAD to switch if you wanted to stick with the Mac.

PC users aren’t going to lose Intel, it will still be a choice. No one can beat Intel’s best on desktop. Unless they can convince Nvidia and AMD to come along with native drivers games will suck. Anything else that doesn’t move will depend on a very high speed emulation layer.

Unless battery life can win the day, it’s gonna be a tough fight. And you know Intel is not going to go down easy.
I assure you, I take security quite seriously. The version of MacOS I'm using is nowhere near the top security risk.

But the bandwidth goes like, 100 GB/s, 150 GB/s, 300 GB/s, 400 GB/s. Given either CPU or GPU alone can't saturate bandwidth (assuming M3 the same as M1 and M2), perhaps the memory controller or the chip layout is to blame.
Chromebooks are mostly x86 now. They run android apps. Also android emulator (not everyone is a rich american with arm macbooks).
Analysts and other data consumers don't want to wait 30 seconds for cache warming every time they refresh their dashboard.

Also, since you're paying by the second, it can be cheaper to keep a warehouse running longer to avoid having to re-warm the cache with every query.
This is like saying police officers shouldn't enforce speed limits because the ticket ends up back in the police department, and you could certainly make a point for a conflict of interest, but there is traceable proof. What actually happened in the SolarWinds instance seems to be actual deception and fraud. Plenty of companies go out of business due to competition, this isn't one of those instances.
As a dog lover and lifelong dog owner, keep your fucking dog leashed and away from mine. I will 100% defend my dogs with lethal force if I have to, and I will pursue any legal action I can against you.

Just because you think your dog is OK doesn't mean that other dogs are OK with your dog; they don't know your dog, and I don't know your dog.

I hug my friends, but if a strangers runs up and hugs me, I will interpret that as assault and respond accordingly -- so don't ever let your dog do the canine equivalent of that, because any consequences (and they may be severe) fall entirely on your shoulders.

At the core it's not that much different from how people have reacted over the ages to anyone dissing their favorite athlete, or the Pope, or making fun of the prophet Muhammad.

Once you take on a person or idea as part of your core, any attack upon that person or idea becomes a VERY personal attack upon you, and the response is visceral and irrational (I suspect that it actually suppresses the higher functions of the brain). I've watched so many people come apart at the seams when one of their sacred cows were attacked, even becoming violent in some cases.

The only difference nowadays is the speed with which people can reach this level of reveredness.

If I were learning english again I’d aim for good enough pronunciation but with better diction. Plenty of native english speakers have horrible diction. When it comes to accents it’s more like something one is not aware that they posses but only notice in outsiders.
It’s more like something that would be nice to have because experts will always wants to build tools that will fit them, not just take something off the shelf. It’s like the kindle reader which are perfectly fine for reading books, but some people want the perfect experience (according to them). So they will jailbreak it and install koreader which is the expert mode of reading ebooks.

I like Apple’s hardware. And I use the software. But it’s always a convenience for me, not something that fits how my mind would like to use it.

Really depends on what you're doing.

I spend 8-10 hours a day coding on my 2018 MBP (web apps - Postgres and Rails or Python) but almost none of that is really CPU-bound in my case. The meat of my work, the actual coding and iteration, is not limited by the aging CPU.

The one thing that's painfully slow is rebuilding Docker images, but we don't do that too often. Less than once per week.

I actually am upgrading soon, but it is not going to make an amazing difference for me in terms of productivity in my current work.
It wouldn't be ad hoc per se, basically you would have a set of guidelines on how to transmit data and that by itself would be a standard.

Something like "use fixed length 8/16/32/64 bit signed/unsigned integers in big endian, length prefix can be 8/16/32 bits, bool is 1 byte (00 = false, 01 = true)" etc, without extra stuff like varints or bit packing, which a lot of current formats are doing.

In short, just use the most straightforward way of encoding while also using the least amount of data. Big endian for ints is very common, simple and relatively compact if you only use the bit width that you need.
I haven’t nailed down the exact spots, but I think somewhere in Central Europe and somewhere in Japan. Potentially a third spot in the American southwest.
If I'm reading the statistics in the study correctly [0], most of these 80 incidents (70%) were pulled from CCTV footage at a "night time drinking setting." Groups of 18 people on average standing around bars, presumably outside. In 20% of cases someone de-escalated, 5% of the time a bystander joined in to escalate the violent encounter, and 4% it was a mix of escalation/de-escalation. Presumably the rest of the time no one intervened.

This is not an ideal setting to analyze the bystander effect. People are drunk. People know each other. People may have just met but started bonding over alcohol (and cigarettes, if we are outside the bar). Seems more like a study of the behavior of drunk people than anything else.

Fair warning, I'm not great at interpreting statistics nor reading sociological studies, I prefer to read about medicine. I'm open to being corrected.

Not everyone uses Gmail or a modern email client that understands the one-click List-Unsubscribe protocol, so senders must include an HTML unsubscribe link in the body of the email in order to comply with relevant rules in all jurisdictions. That link, unfortunately, can fall prey to the shenanigans I mentioned above.

I understand the parent's sentiment because we all want to unsubscribe from unwanted emails. But technical standards can't distinguish unwanted emails from business-critical emails. You could legitimately cause someone damages by silently unsubscribing them from an important news feed. (Imagine that you silently unsubscribed an open-source maintainer from all github notifications!) Even worse, this kind of vulnerability disproportionately affects senders who try to follow the rules and make it easier for people to unsubscribe. Spammers don't care and keep spammin'.

Ideally, an email would have both a one-click List-Unsubscribe header and an HTML unsubscribe link in the body. The latter need not be one-click, and in fact, if it's anything remotely important, should not be.
You still can! Just, poorly, via wifi and only when it's the same iCloud account -- which means only other idevices/macs allowed. :(
Yeah, they were running Intel Macbook Pros because that's what everyone was used to, and also because production ran on x86_64 architecture.

At least at the time, things worked a bit easier having the entire pipeline (dev -> prod) use a single architecture.
Yep, so even if you do make it to retirement at say 65, if you’re reliant on daily nursing care, all your money/assets will be gone, usually within a few years. Ballpark, it’s $100-150k/year to have a nurse come in every day and take care of you. The nurse is going to be on their phone most of the time, English probably isn’t their first language, and the opportunity for elder abuse is sky-high. For what they get paid after their boss takes their cut of your $100k, they will probably steal. Heck, there are often arrangements where the nursing home gets “whatever you have” when you pass away in exchange for providing care. Conflict of interest, yeah? They are incentivized to let you die where possible.

I wish assisted suicide was more popular. I think it will be more popular as time goes on, especially in the US. If you worked your whole life to have say $2 million in assets, would you rather piss it all away on a boring, painful, purposeless existence in a retirement home, or would you rather your kids have a shot at owning their home?
I've operated by and described the concept of Chesterton's Fence countless times, so that's a great name to learn. It's such a regular thing working with new grads, etc. that they see some "old legacy crap" and their first reaction is to want to tear it out or scrap the whole thing start over.

On some occasions it can be worth the lesson to let them try but it's a good thing to remember that the people who came before us weren't all complete idiots and there is generally a reason why they did what they did.

Sometimes it is gross old code that needs to be replaced, but even then it often still contains a hard fought record of all of the corners and edge cases you need to understand and handle to build anything in that domain.

The Subtitle "There’s history around every curve on the back roads between Los Angeles and Los Olivos, a 100-mile route that meanders through mountains, canyons and star-studded enclaves." bothers me.

First thing the author started in Calabasas, which is on the edge of Los Angeles County and a significant distance from the City of Los Angeles.

Second, this region in particular - between say, Malibu and San Luis Obispo is notable for its general lack of freeways. There are two in that general vicinity the 118 (east/west) and the 101 (north/south). The reasons for that are complex, but largely because they only started to develop only after Los Angeles was done with its freeway building craze - and freeways are not politically popular - particularly in that region, which is either agriculture or wealthy enough to want no change to the area. Freeways still bring development.

That all said, when I have the time, I always take the two lane highway, just to see what there is to be seen - America is so much prettier and more diverse than the gas stations and food places near the freeway exit, go out and explore, there is a whole world - often in your back yard, that you didn't even know was there.

I love the section on tests. It really is exactly what I've come to learn over the years. Integration tests are the sweet spot for finding bugs. Mocks tend to over complicate things (I still use them sometimes but I avoid using them systematically) and unit tests are too brittle in face of refactoring whereas integration tests help with refactoring.
