No, what’s worse is Apple, or is it random self-styled influencers, spreading the false narrative that Apple Silicon magically requires less RAM and people actually believing that.

> Alternatives are not identical, by definition.

Ok, so if you admit that the alternatives to iMessage and iCloud are not identical, it follows that people may have reasons for specifically preferring iMessage and iCloud to the alternatives, based on the differences that you admit exist. And again, iMessage and iCloud are iPhone-only features, so a preference for those Apple services would naturally make consumers prefer iPhones.

> I am, and so is EU.

By "We're not discussing monopoly claims", I meant specifically "We" as in you and me. I'm not discussing anything with the EU, because the EU doesn't comment on HN. My original reply to you was specifically about why people buy iPhones: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39591038

> And why they are making a conscious choice, not being hostage by a monopoly.

Yes? We're both already in agreement about that. The question is to what extent, if any, vendor lockdown of 3rd party apps drives iPhone sales.

You seem to want to claim that the only relevant difference for consumers between iPhones and Android phones is App Store lockdown, and that's simply not true. There are a bunch of relevant differences.

> I wish my company would just standardize on some supported variant of a Linux Desktop

I mean, it doesn't sound like your current windows desktop is particularly supported.
I just want to echo what a few people have mentioned here:

The legality of emulation was strongly upheld under pre-DMCA copyright law in U.S. court decisions where console makers lost against emulator developers.

However, the DMCA gave plaintiffs a whole new set of tools to prevent interoperability. Lots of interoperability and emulation cases have been lost under the DMCA. The DMCA radically limited the prior legal norm that you could create a compatible implementation of a proprietary technology from scratch.

If you agree that there should be a right to reimplement a third-party version of a proprietary system/technology/format/protocol (including one that uses some kind of secrecy to attempt to enforce DRM), you should oppose DMCA §1201.
Honestly, the fan should ramp up to maximum speed if not explicitly set within the past 500 ms or something, and also have a high-water mark temperature that if crossed while the fan isn't at maximum speed causes the fan to run at maximum speed until the machine restarts.

If the OS can't keep up with the fan speed update schedule, go into your failsafe mode.

If you cross that maximum temperature while being commanded by the OS to run at maximum speed, then that's presumably not an OS bug. If otherwise, treat it as an OS bug and put the OS back into diapers, to re-try the big kid underwear on the next restart.
What if it was forked and the code that broke DRM was separated from the codebase, preferably as a library (dll/lib)?
I no longer have it but for quite a while I used a touch screen Windows laptop. I found touch useful and natural for some actions. I never expected to use it for everything. No worries about gorilla-arm.

For me it was about having a mix of interaction methods. Sometimes would use touch, sometimes mouse or trackpad, and sometimes keyboard. It was all very situational. Actions like scrolling, dragging, and tapping buttons lend themselves to touch. Fiddling with forms or small UI elements may need a pointing device. Editing text works best with a keyboard. It's about options.

In addition, I felt that being able to switch methods meant less RSI as I wan't using the same movements as much. I was never bothered that some UI elements were too small for touch because I was always ready to switch to a pointer when it was called for.

I do the same now on an iPad Pro that almost all the time sits in a keyboard case next to a mouse. I am constantly switching between those and sometimes picking up the pencil, too.

it might not be for everyone but I would like the option to do that on Mac OS as well.
> Apple sued for patent infringement and that was about the extent of it.

You're massively understating the scope and scale of Apple's war on Android. Apple transfered patents to a NPE that sued Android vendors - possibly Google itself. Apple also spent billions on this war - Apple et al spent over $4B to outbid Google on Nortel patents, Google spent even more billions to buy Motorola and its patents, prior to that, Google had virtually no defensive parents.
Apple will do anything it can to "gate".

If it can identify something people will pay more for, while not quite putting off most people, it'll do it, no matter how mad.

So if most people think 8GB is fine for a laptop, they'll buy it, and everyone else pays through the nose for more.

Most people only want one extra screen? That's what you get on the base machine and you must pay (alot) for more. If one day most people need two, then you'll get two.

Apple seem to spend a lot of design time on how to extract the most money out of those willing to pay, no matter how annoying it is.

I think most languages support representing many kinds of graphs very well, particularly directed graphs without data on the edges: with objects, lists, and object references (or pointers).

A tree is a graph. A typical Java-style object composing other objects composing other objects again, etc etc, often with cycles and parent backreferences and whatnot, is a graph. The html DOM is a graph.

I recognize that these are often very tree-like, which feels like cheating in the same way as saying “well a list is also a graph!” is. But given that cycles are common enough that serializers (eg JSON.stringify) need to special-case those, I think maybe this is simply not true, and they’re really just graphs. Very few tree-like class structures tend to remain pure trees.

The only thing missing from references/pointers to be able to represent what the author is looking for, is having data on the edges. I think this is trivially solvable by putting nodes halfway the edge (= add a level of indirection, an operation so common that we don’t even think of it as “adding data to the edges”).

So I think the answer is that there’s no explicit data structure named “graph” because the basic building block of composition in nearly every language (reference/pointer) is an edge, and the basic building block of data representation (objects/structs/records) is a node. So for most graphs, trying to pour it all into some fancy Graph<V, E> datastructure feels like needless complexity.
Samsung CRG9 (previous sale at Costco for $749, currently $849) connected through HP USB-C Dock G5 (models are confusing, exact one I bought was https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RGC9QSL/). I'm using original base M1 Macbook (currently $749 at Costco) and have had zero issues with the monitor. Without the dock you might need a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter like mentioned in reddit comments you linked to, but I already had the dock from a previous workstation and everything just worked when I plugged it in.

Considering minor Macbook upgrades can get you into >$1500 price territory pretty easily I think this a fantastic value. If you wanted to buy my full setup right now it would be $849 + $749 + $145 = $1745 but you're getting “dual” monitors and dock that can be reused with any modern machine, making it easy to switch between work and play. I can even plug my Steam Deck into it. :) (No affiliation with any of these products!)

But add the mandatory upsells to a sensible amount of RAM and storage, and the 'bargain' Mac will be rather more expensive.

But yeah, there's still a real lack of Windows laptop competition these days, especially if you want a GPU. 'Gaming laptops' tend to come with severe heat/noise/weight/battery problems.

(And why are competitors touchpads still shit-tier compared to Apple? Even on those bulkier gaming laptops where space isn't at a premium and the price is on the premium side)

It's generally not, because you can run an OS on a PS5 that can then run the game, and the DMCA allows for this (with some limitations) because, and this is a very important point: there is generally no DRM-hacking required. But...if DRM hacking is required to get a PC game to work on a PS5, it's illegal to do so under the DMCA. (Note: DRM is defined very broadly for DMCA purposes.)

Dolphin does require a bit of DRM hacking, but Dolphin (arguably) falls under one of the DCMA exceptions for archival use purposes. This is the second important point: the Dolphin emulates a system which has not been on sale for a decade. It's still possible* to use it for general piracy instead of archival access, but the archival use trumps the piracy concern. (It would be different though if the Dolphin developers started offering Dolphin on a commercial basis.)

But Yuzu is a commercial offering, for a console that is still on sale, and its use requires DRM hacking. So it's got 3 fatal flaws.

The only surprise is that Nintendo let it live as long as it has. You can bet they won't make that mistake again with their next console.

Nintendo does oppose all types of emulation that isn't their own. Most of them are just too hard to intimidate with legal threats.
If down voters want to explain their objection we'd probably all benefit - this may sound pithy but afaict parent is correct: Tropic Haize LLC is the defendant in TFA; LLC stands for Limited Liability Company. IANAL but this essentially means the company is on the hook for the damages, if it doesn't have that much then Nintendo probably becomes it's most senior creditor (gets paid first) in bankruptcy, but its directors (the emulator devs, presumably) are unlikely to be personally liable, at least wouldn't be in a judgement on this case. Settling would I assume imply that Nintendo thinks it is getting paid (won't bankrupt the company, or directors agreed to kick it in) though.

ChatGPT definitely has a growing bag of tricks like that.

Fairly recently it would require manual intervention to fix.
This is sad, but honestly the expected outcome. Not only did they receive money from people, which is like the #1 in the not-to-do list when you're offering a product in a legally grey area, but also they set up a company in the US (TROPIC HAZE LLC), which is like a giant target to be sued. An anonymous GitHub repo is by contrast much harder to sue.

Having worked at an a16z/NEA/Greylock venture from B round, a Sutter Hill venture from B round, and a 2nd-tier venture from B round, I can say it's all just lottery tickets.

If linux (devs) could just swallow their pride and embrace some heavily windows influenced design choices I am confident linux could see widespread adoption. This would finally create the incentive for product developers to actually create and support linux based products.

People really want to get away from windows. But they really really don't want to deal with an OS that feels like it's 1990.
I found touch really useful for taking notes (OneNote) and for drawing (Clip Studio Pro) - and that's it. I could try to build some Star Trek-like giant touch UI, but never found it useful to use touch for apps that work better with keyboard/mouse.

So yeah, I agree that I wouldn't want a Windows or macOS device that uses touch for the primary UI, I just want touch-enabled apps that make good use of a pen, on a device that has a proper keyboard/trackpad for everything else.

Arguably, the Wacom Cintiq already solved that issue completely. I did think that the Surface Studio were the most interesting Surface products, though the price wasn't attractive.
I don't have an exact number in mind—I imagine it's pretty context-specific—but 500–1000 nodes seems like it would qualify.

I've played around with IntMap before and it's not a great data structure. It's a binary Patricia trie, which means that you quickly get a relatively deep tree with lots of pointer traversals. Unless I've managed to confuse myself on how it works, you'd end up with, what, at least 10 traversals to look up a value from 1000 keys?

Agreed. Also think this is the most probable path for them to take.

How do you imagine these features getting exposed to end-users? (When LLMs are discussed people default to thinking in terms of chat interfaces but to your point that doesn't have to be a hard and fast rule.) Do you think there will some sort of primitives that'll get exposed as APIs to developers, like with CoreML[1] for example?

It's mostly about Rust adding lots of features I am not interested in, and not adding the ones I need for the project. Sanakirja was hard to write in Rust, not a single concept of the language matched what I needed, in the end I had to write tons of macros, and the API is hard to use. Zig would have probably made it more natural from the beginning.

There are other things related to the community/zealots/Mozilla/Rust foundation, but I'm not sure this is the proper place.

Edit: Git zealots are worse than Rust zealots, I attribute this to Git being "harder to learn" (i.e. never really does what people think it does) than Rust.

You can't really do that with a graph. Maybe if you offered a bunch of graph types.
