> where a GC would help (e.g. when there is no clear ownership hierarchy but a lot of mutual dependencies between objects)

Not really. This is a straw man argument.

Having large graph of object with mutual dependencies represented as references to each other is almost all the time a code smell and a problem of design.

It is terrible for cache locality, terrible for memory fragmentation and will bring even the best GC on its knees.

The way to handle that is to use Entity Component System [^1] or a SOA structue with indexes.

In fact every mature game engine or serious Graph Representation library (which are specially design to deal with these cases) will do exactly that.

if that's the only reason for the branch, you can just as easily determine which commit is on which environment with tags
They planned for three 90 second flights prior to launch. After those worked they transitioned over to longer "operations demo" flights and those were extended tentatively out to 12 flights. After the 21st flight they just stopped manually allocating labor and funding to the project for a set number of flights and instead gave them a running budget for indefinite continued operations.

So while "strictly speaking" they planned for three 90 second flights. There was the unstated assumption that it'd be used for much more than that as long as it actually worked effectively.

OpenBSD? So lower scalability, limited hardware support, less features and a culture that screams "screw you" at anyone who doesn't think their world view is the only One True Way.

I think the idea is that, rather than storing two versions of the code in your version control system, you store both versions in trunk and gate with a feature flag.

To me, you’re like a digital prepper. You have a bunker full of canned food and guns because you think “you’re gonna wake up one day and …”

This is not a problem you can fix with bureaucracy. Bangladeshi villages manage to raise stable kids that don’t commit crimes at the rate of the average American, much less the rate of Americans in the foster system. That should give you a hint about how important “investment” and “resource allocation” is in this problem versus other factors.
“When we build a skyscraper like this, it lasts essentially forever”

What is the lifetime of a skyscraper? There will be a moment when we’ve lost the engineering calculations and procedures, right? It’s not like an airplane where a D-check means you defurbish and refurbish to control the sanity; and concrete has a limited duration.

With so many skyscrapers built in the recent years, will we see some topple and jolt under the pressure?
Do you think employer drug tests decrease overdoses?
So if the “deployed branch” were really just a “tag”, that would fit trunk based development? Because that’s basically what git is doing. It’s not like there are two sets of files anywhere, afaik.

My understanding of this though is that there isn’t supposed to be a difference between “what we’re working on” and “what’s deployed”, which I think then means you don’t really do “long term” development.
There is a more reasonable interpretation to "summarizing what's on StackOverflow" than the pure face value

There are many "Solved problems" which you're disincentivized to try to solve personally (sayauth or encryption) since implementing a widely accepted solution tends to have aditional credibility and you're not likely to have any additional value to add

That's what I think of when I see that phrase, similar to my current work, I'm creating basically a glorified CRUD for a small business to try and reduce their manual paperwork, none of the programming is particularly technical, and whatever platonic ideal of the system I had for it to be smart has been positively removed by the people that will use the system, since they prefer it to be completely manual because they're supposed to make the decisions

The Business logic isn't particularly complicated, and anyone competent could have done the same by taking a random accepeted SO answer and adapting the code
I have been using bsps and quadtrees and grid spatial indexing datastructures for years in gamedev amd graphics, raytracingg etc, and I only recently discovered that quadtrees and bsp's have a failure case when the aabb's within are at harmonic intervals of the space division, or very large. You end up putting your data into basically every single child node. With only a few objects I ran out of 32gb of ram. 4^n.

I changed it to an rtree and the problem went away.
I think you're just looking more deeply at it than I am. No more than that.
OS/8
How far could the sun possibly be?
That's false. Apple brain-fucked Masimo to spill their beans on how their tech works, precisely with the promise they were gonna license it. Then they did a switcheroo where they went ahead and integrated their tech without paying them.
I’m also in this place. I have the wifi card as well and I’ve not taken to writing any hobbyist software for mine.

I had perhaps foolishly hoped to at least get a fun universal remote out of it, and it’s somewhat possible yet the software just isn’t there to bring a robust family of device RF and Bluetooth commands together. It’s no harmony remote.

I think that good tooling is a necessity to do trunk based development well - not just CI/CD and testing on PRs, but also being able to have stacks of commits in multiple PRs before landing as a whole (from ghstack, Sapling, or Graphite).

Having worked at Facebook before where managing stacks of diffs was far better than GitHub, I wish that more of the improvements to the developer workflow could be open sourced beyond Sapling now that Phabricator is no longer supported.
Yeah, that was a very weird comparison. Not only do those countries send 6 people each, those four started participating in 1959 while US started in 1974 and China in 1985. Though arguably, those first olympiads featured fewer countries, (with presumably stronger competition) so they had to compete against each other for medals.

Another factor might be the number of distinct participants. I believe the Chinese enforce a one-participation limit, though I don't know if that would make it more or less likely to get gold.
So they should just say "we're worried about our reputation" rather than say it's a threat to democracy. Why is push-polling not a "threat to democracy"? How about emotionally manipulative imagery in television ads? Or use of detailed demographic, geographic, and purchasing information for ad targeting?
> This is a straw man argument.

Of course it can also be done without a GC.

There are even cases where this design is unavoidable to solve the problem.
Because only the newest one integrates the more precise sensing tech Masino claims Apple used without paying them.
Did you actually solve it?

5 times <1.5 is <7.5, and 2 times >3.5 = >7 so "more or less than .5" is insufficient for this comparison.
There is no “right” or “best” way to do this job, right? But kudos for taking a position and articulating it.
Your local repo is the equivalent of the development branch. Yes, that means you don't collaborate with others on development branches, or go for weeks committing only to a branch.

If you save up a bunch of work, dump it on the main branch, then start a new development branch that lets you escape from the integration pain of your big merge, then trunk becomes a dumping ground that nobody wants to (or can) work on.
Indeed my understanding is that it should not require crazy hardware requirements - it's a serial protocol clocked by the programmer.

Here's an Arduino project to program CPLDS/FPGAs using XSVF files
https://github.com/wschutzer/xsvfduino

I'd say that the cheap programming cables are abundant and already compatible with the vendor tools so there's not much motivation to reinvent the wheel.
Might not be a popular opinion, but I actually like that C headers only contain the public API declaration of a "module" while the implementation and private declarations live in a separate file. Makes it easy to figure out the public API just by reading the header and without having to sift through unimportant implementation code.

In other languages you need IDE support for extracting the public API of a module.
A small medical innovator who's going to charge twice the price for a device that only has the oxygen monitor.

Google and Facebook both use trunk based development for nearly all code at both companies.

This guide advises you to consider trunk based development if your release cycles are less than ~4 weeks. I'd suggest doing it no matter what. The only place where I've run into problems with this was managing very long term hold outs where we wanted to avoid changing user visible behavior. Instead of branches, we maintained literal copies of all the files for multiple years. I don't think revision control is the right place to solve that problem though, because there were no clear service boundaries to decide what things to pin, we just did it in an adhoc way.
I would say PUBG in particular, having downloaded the game again recently. I've noticed that the difference in volume between a gunshots and footsteps is very different. I need to turn the volume down quite a bit to not jump when my gun fires, then hearing footsteps suffers greatly.

PUBG is the only game where gunfights seem overly loud in contrast to everything else.

Playing other Battle Royale games the volume difference isn't anywhere near as big.

Apple has almost a $3T market cap, I'm sure their legal team will be fine coming to a favorable arrangement if nerfing the functionality with software updates isn't sufficient. They can fund any settlement out of ~$380B in annual revenue. Any settlement under ~$1B is a day of revenue. The horror.
> Apple needs serious competition. And that won't happen with their massive scale until regulators

Regulators are the worst way to create competition. Apple has extremely serious competition in the form of Android. iPhone's global market share just hit its highest ever, at 20.1%[0].

> The largest companies are barely innovating at all

If you don't see any mobile phone innovation that's happened, I don't know what to tell you. Go back only 20 years and you'll see an incredible difference.

I’ve been pretty happy with trunk-based development in my job. It’s simple and reliable. I don’t miss alternatives in any way.

A significant amount of Git-isms are based around Linux kernel needs. Which is great. But closed source and typical open source needs are pretty different, and much simpler.
Netflix doesn't want Apple to have more power. All of the companies refusing to build apps for Vision Pro are doing it strictly to try to tank the product, or to try to force Apple's hand at the negotiating table re: IAP.
The invention is trivial and anyone thinking on the topic could come up with it. It is just a matter of interest and having the money to navigate the labyrinth patent system / hiring a patent lawyer. All it does it protect those with money and connections already, at the cost of humanity.

No, SpO2 isn't used for VO2 Max calculations. SpO2 measured at the wrist doesn't tell you anything about how much oxygen is being metabolized. Only heart rate (including HRV) and speed or power are used as input for the VO2 Max estimate. Wristwatches can't even measure SpO2 accurately when you're running around, you have to hold fairly still to get a consistent reading.
They were negotiating a licence but their star engineer emailed Tim Cook offering to work for Apple directly after he wasn't made CTO of a spinoff company.

> He clashed with managers, demanded multimillion-dollar budgets and wanted the ability to hire his own engineers without approval, Hotelling said in a deposition that was part of a court fight between the companies. After weeks of discussions, Lamego left Apple. After his stint at Apple, Lamego ended up starting his own company, True Wearables. In 2016, he released a device called the Oxxiom, which he called the world’s first continuous and disposable blood-oxygen sensor. Masimo sued the start-up and won a court order blocking it from selling the product.

It sounds like you are arguing that buying Twitter probably had a substantial negative financial impact on Musk. That sounds plausible, but I didn't intend to minimize it.

What I meant was that, aside from sunk costs, keeping the website nominally operational doesn't have to cost any significant amount going forward. Things are now arranged such that admitting defeat vs sinking more money in it are independent options.

Therefore as outsiders, we are unlikely to have useful information about whether it is now a "going concern" if he remains committed to keeping up a facade. It seems opaque, now that it is a members only site run by a private company.
I care about it. Its actually the only new feature that I would have upgraded for.

I know a lot of people that got it for that specific feature. Not one of them got it for COVID or medical reasons.

There are huge communities of people that really like this feature. Notably, many people that do things at altitude.

I won't pretend that my narrow experience is a market maker, but I also won't generalize it to say something as broad as its a feature "nobody cares about now and moves zero units."

Try to think beyond your own experiences and worldview.

FWIW I asked the OP to send me the /etc/shadow file which he tried to bruteforce with John The Ripper (unsuccessfully). And because it contains old school UNIX crypt() hashes I was able to crack the root pw in ~7 hours with hashcat on 12 x RTX 4090: the root password is Newt@rd$

Not that it's particularly useful as this device let's you gain root access via TCF anyway without authentication. But maybe this password is reused in other areas...
Scummy as fuck. Masimo should get billions from this in compensation.

In His Word, God says He never changes. His character remains the same. They lived by the Law with its morals.

With that in mind, the Deuteronomy passage says that anyone claiming to be a prophet, but contradicting God's existing Word (eg commands), is a liar. Most people falsely claiming to be prophets have poor character, be ego/money centered, people pleasers, often contradict the Word, cherry-pick what serves them, and/or fail in their predictions or miracles (see Deut. 18). The Deut. 13 test is even easier today since we have the whole Word, including Jesus' and Apostles' ministry, to test them with.

Both are true.

Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube are neither building custom apps nor enabling their iPad apps for use on Vision Pro.

It is not only NOT in their interest to do so (and users can use the web anyway; the download use case is a vanishingly small market segment), but it is ALSO a way for them to speak truth to Apple's power w.r.t. their draconian in-app purchases policy. Game on.

Could apple publish a way for US customers to themselves re-enable the feature? If publishing software is a first amendment right, then I don’t see any legal way to prevent them from doing this.
>Blood oxygen monitors aren’t event expensive. You can buy little ones that clamp onto your fingertip for like $20.

It's not about just any blood oxigen measuring tech, there's various ways you can do it and apparently Apple's newest watch is implementing a very accurate technique developed by Masimo.

Those $20 devices exist because measuring blood oxygen accurately via light refracted through flesh is way easier than via light reflect off the flesh(especially as you move around), which is what this fight is all about.

>Seems odd that they couldn’t use their weight to secure a license.

Or, you know, pay for it? It's not like Apple is scrapping for change behind the couch cushions.
