You could use that apologist language for any company. If they suck at something just say they are “biding their time” No. Apple is just demonstrably behind.

Having terrible predictive text, voice to text, image classification etc isn’t just a quark of the way they do business. Those are problems with years of established work put into them and they just flat out aren’t keeping up.
What were the better options at the time?
Glider is widely recommended as an entry to powered flight. You'll be better prepared and will have better stick and rudder skills than most student pilots.
The way I heard it, the move from Mar to Jan was not for political reasons, but for tax reasons.

Spring makes sense for starting a new year; rebirth and all that. But it's lousy as the start of a tax year: who's to say whether all the new animals in the herds got born last year, and are already taxable, or this year, and are not?

Start your tax year in the middle of winter, however, (like astronomers used to switch days at noon instead of at midnight) and all is good: no livestock is getting born midwinter so the only fuzziness left is did that sheep die this tax year or last? Much more legible.
Good thanks, but I can't stop coding! And getting old.
I definitely agree the real environment is more challenging in a holistic sense.

What I meant is that in a real airplane, you have the advantage of things like G-force, force feedback from the reversible controls, stall buffet, the sound of the airstream on the windscreen, complete peripheral vision, etc, which combine to make the actual "manipulating the controls to make the airplane do what you want" part of flying easier.
I suspect that's what having few options means
For most intellectual jobs, the 996 schedule is demonstrably counterproductive.

Study after study has shown that it's basically impossible to squeeze out more than about 30 hours of actual productivity from the general population per week, especially when this is sustained for long periods of time. Western countries are starting experiments with 4-day work weeks precisely because it's more productive, not less.

I've worked with people doing these types of hours (Indian subcontractors) and they were 100% useless 100% of the time because they were too exhausted to do anything other than rote work. Even that rote work was riddled with errors because they were too tired to think about what they're doing or do any quality assurance. They were successful only at the most trivial tasks, tasks so simple that a script would have sufficed. I needed humans, they were meat robots.

In some countries, that's precisely how managers view their employees: As annoying robots that complain too much, or slaves that they need to also pay (as little as possible).

It's only in a few (not all!) western countries that businesses treat intellectual labour such as IT work as creative "value generation" instead of manual labour to be extracted.

That seems to contradict the “very simple to implement compiler”

"bad takes" do not rise to a level where censorship is warranted. Humans communicate to learn, they are often wrong and convinced of wrong things. This is necessary to learn what a good take is.

The moral panic of this age is synonymous to mcarthyism and the ages past. It never worked and as demonstrates today backfired to whole generations no longer believing their country or government are to be trusted.
I agree. Stack Exchange's Code Golf has public source, but the best there is 644 bytes: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/4198
I feel a deep discomfort with algorithms optimizing for “engaging” content like this. It feels to me like a form of algorithmic brainwashing, capturing people in filter bubbles. I would prefer it if there were laws against platforms making visibility decisions for the user. If people choose to be in a bubble, that’s a form of personal freedom, if an unknowable algorithm chooses for them, not so much.
Just to add, Safe Rust should have zero UB, modulo bugs in the compiler. And they're very serious about fixing such bugs. They won't dismiss it with "just be careful while programming".
The view that only negative rights are human rights is not a given and quite libertarian. For example education is often seen as a human right and is a positive right.

Human rights depend on what one values and that’s different for different groups. It’s crazy to think that the way a certain country/person/ideology think about rights is the only correct way.

> Melbourne-based Anton Thomas drew North America by hand

Why North America instead of Australia, m8? Potential market size? That's so American :-)

What the hell is a freelance cartographer, what does he do, and who are his colleagues? Buster Bluth and a bunch of Earth observation satellites? That's one competitive market.

> I was working as a cook in the old port of Montreal. And in classic Montreal fashion, we had littered the apartment with things we found on the side of the road. And one was this big fridge. It had all these rusty, brown stains on it. My housemate Douglas, from Zimbabwe, had been urging me to draw him something as a memento, since he knew I was going to go back to New Zealand. He had painted the fridge with white house paint to cover up the stains and I thought, “What about the fridge?”

That's it, I'm moving to Australia.

I only collect maps that predate the steam engine but I would love to buy a huge wall size print!
Enough with floppy-analogies.

Those who know, know that Algol-68 was 20 kbytes and it was one full roll of punched paper tape. Weighing 100 grams.

So, 2 TB would require 10000 tons of papertape. (2e12/20e3/10/1e3)

And as we all know Finland's yearly paper production is 4 million tons. Hence it could produce only one 2TB SD-disk worth of reliable paper tape storage in a day.
Am I crazy for thinking they should release a tool that does this offline and then just end support for it after those dates?
The key thing about flying is that you as pilot are responsible, for people's lives. Everyone who flies has sufficient knowledge and skills, but many don't have good decision-making, particularly under pressure.

You're likely to learn some bad habits from self-teaching in simulator, but those mostly can be unlearned. The real problem would be having excess confidence. That's the #1 killer.

Flying a real plane in challenging situations should frankly scare you into being a stickler, and staying well clear of your personal limits.

If you want to be a good pilot, start with 10+ hours of glider training and then train on something other than a Cessna high-wing (which takes almost no skill for stall recovery).

And for knowledge, learn the fundamentals from the FAA books (not the internet or experience in a simulator).
For me fixed phrases would do it often, I use Siri mostly when driving, but keeps saying for almost any command/query: Sorry I can't do that while you are driving. (other main usecase is setting tea/cooking timers with hands full/greasy. This alone makes it pretty useful.)

I guess this won't change, because it is probably for legal reasons, to avoid being sued by some "I just dried my cat in the microwave" style genius after making a car accident (unrelated to Siri, but trying to shift the blame).

Adding support for smaller languages would be nice actually. When its reading out of Hungarian messages loud it sounds incredibly retarded. I always have a great time listening to those and trying to guess the message. :) It would be nice if I could send a message to my significant other about being stuck in traffic in Hungarian. (the iPhone keyboard already does pretty decent voice recognition in the language)
They hired some Apple people in the past year, so well after it was probably clear internally that this was going badly. Even if the new employees do everything right, I would assume that it will be difficult to graft a software culture into GM's culture. If they legitimately think it is imperative and have buy in and real support from the very top, it's possible, but if they think it's something to tack on it will never work.
Nope. It's something I suggested the other day:

With all due respect, these “adversial compiler” expression just makes zero sense, and takes a lot away from your comment.

Guess what, the world is complex, and software has no bound for complexity. Which is better, a multi-million lines compiler that hundreds of people worked on for decades, or a toy one in a couple thousand lines written by a single programmer? What if the former can create 2-10x faster code than the latter (I probably even underestimate it, loop unswitching, vectorization, etc. can account for even more differences).

It turns out that we can build abstractions on top of abstractions, and if it’s designed well, it will scale with complexity (which we require). Would you change back to an OS that didn’t handle multithreading as it’s too complicated? Or that wouldn’t use GPUs?
That's a good point. I focused on this aspect in a much earlier post, so tried to stick to my BASIC vs alternatives investigation here.

The fact that the home computers used to be READY to be programmed within a second from powering up, and gave you such an easy access to all basic operations was what was so ... addictive?
You are misquoting the source — I'm not "making up things." I referenced the three Palestinian flags, not the heart emojis:

> In another, a user posted just three Palestinian flag emojis. Another screenshot seen by The Intercept showed two hidden comments consisting only of the hashtags #Gaza, #gazaunderattack, #freepalestine, and #ceasefirenow.

The Intercept does not provide the context on the posts that the flag comments were on, or the hashtags — and visibly-Jewish people across social media have been barraged since Oct. 7th by strangers brigading their completely-unrelated posts with comments like this, and are targeted for harassment just for being Jewish; I think being suspicious of the context is fairly natural. And please refrain from personal attacks.

Re: the man holding the girl — yes, I am referring to the one in which both are deceased, but only the man is referenced as being fully-clothed; members of Hamas can be deceased too. Maybe the girl is also fully-clothed, but not releasing any of the data doesn't help build confidence.
just moved _back_ to central richmond _tonight_ from downtown san leandro. My wife doesn’t drive and we have 3 kids (expecting a 4th). It is the best compromise, though we would have lived NOPA west, and mid-sunset near irving/judah. Alameda was a fallback for wife (probably my first choice though). Kids are in local schools, which are good.
I find simply having openssh listening on port 443 alone bypasses most firewalls in practice.
Mostly it's whether I see accounts breaking the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. That includes swipes, putdowns, name-calling, ideological/political/nationalistic battle rather than curious conversation, fulmination, cross examination, repeating internet tropes or talking points, and so on.

I don't know what you mean by "openly show how both sides are affected". That's a tricky business. Everyone with strong feelings feels like the mods are biased and few are persuadable otherwise. Most people (with strong feelings) would be satisfied by little less than "promote all the posts I agree with and ban all the commenters I disagree with", though they don't phrase it in those terms, presumably even to themselves. It just works out that way in practice because when strong feelings are involved, all opposing comments tend to feel false and/or trollish and/or abusive.

What I can tell you for sure is that we're moderating all sides of this topic, same as with any divisive topic, when we see the site guidelines being broken, and we do our best to be even-handed about it. That doesn't mean there's no bias (unconscious bias is a thing, and total absence of bias is surely impossible), but it does mean that we work hard and consciously at it, and have many years of practice in doing so.

p.s. when you ask "What makes you flag something as flamewar", I suppose I should clarify that most [flagged] posts have been flagged by users, not moderators. Mods do flag some though.
I had the opposite problem, the languages I usually typed in(Romanian + English) didn't have a multi language mode on iOS. So it was a constant pain to switch btw them when I needed to insert some English terms in Romanian sentences. IOS didn't support multi language for this language pair. On Android it always worked like a charm.

Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL Now Supports RDS Data API
There is pretty well established modeling that demonstrates that the stop and go rhythm that arises from tight following distances leads to worse throughput. To avoid slinking, everyone needs to accelerate and decelerate at the same rate. A safe stopping distance is the only way build in the micro buffers needed to achieve relatively consistent speed at human scale, or without large scale traffic orchestration. The naïve takes just sound like armchair hand waving. I guess that’s what I’m responding to.

> People don't have the same understanding for software.

To be fair, with houses, once you've actually built a 4,000 square foot house, you can just copy-paste it onto another person's plot of land, and maybe tweak it a bit as long as they aren't too picky about the layout and the geology is mostly the same. Also, if you're lucky you might be able to find a pre-built house on the internet and copy and tweak that, so you might get away with never learning how to build one from scratch in the first place.

Whereas with software, ... oh wait no, that was how software works, it's buildings that have to be re-built from scratch every single time, so people tend to actually understand what kind of endeavor they're asking for if they need one.

Apple has never promised any car. From what is known, project Titan has been cancelled years ago.

The only exeption of not delivering I can recall was AirPower. It's a product they've announced and then embarassingly weren't able to finish up to their standards (or up to what was promised), so they have cancelled it altogether.
I'd go further to say that if you don't ask to yourself a single question while you're reading a substantial part of a book (a section, a chapter), then you don't really internalize what you think you're learning.

The questions don't need to be answered perfectly, nor they need to be "good" questions. The questions can be general and simple, like:

- Does it have to be this way? Why?

- How is it related/connected to what I've learned previously (last chapter, last year, last decade)? Do I need to unlearn something or adjust my previous mental model?
Compare it to using a driving simulator before taking actual driving lessons. Yes, it might give you a slight edge, but the real thing is so much different and is so immersive that a simulator's added value is mostly for experienced users and not so much for beginners.

TLDR; Garbage Collection.

In an SSD, a write operation can only be done when the page is already erased. However, the unit of read/write operations are a page, while the unit of erase operation is a block. That means for a disk write, a naive implementation needs to read the whole block, erase the block, then write updated data back to the block, which is unacceptable. Furthermore, blocks should wear out uniformly, otherwise, the SSD would lose capacity.

To tackle these problems, SSD introduces Flash Translation Layer (FTL) which helps to build an illusion of random access device. To achieve this, FTL employs an approach very similar to LSM trees. Writes are always written to new, already erased pages, while in the background, garbage collects (GC) outdated data. FTL needs to keep a map from the user’s logical address to physical address on SSD, both in-memory and persistently.

So to answer your question, why are sequential writes are faster than random writes on SSDs? Because the address map table is smaller since new data is consecutive in larger chunks. Garbage Collection is simpler and only metadata needs to be updated. Erasing a block is required anyway.

Also, crashing fast is the best way to deal with unforeseen events one can’t recover from. Your anecdotal experience with regards to firefox and rust just shows that they put more assertions into the code (good!), which makes it easier to notice and later fix bugs, as rust makes it mandatory to handle error cases to some degree. This is also a plus for rust.

> However it's always in principle possible for someone to prove that the KC of some particular string is X.

Only for a bounded number of strings. I.e. there is a finite set of string X such that for strings outside of X, you can not prove their KC, even in principle.
