Yes, Apple had their own Java runtime in the past, but this was discontinued. I think Mojave (10.14) was the first version without official Java support from Apple.

I'll provide another data point. While I too lost that much weight by eating one meal a day that was just the extra weight I got due to the combo of covid trapped in side and new child. But once I got back to my "normal" 20kg overweight by BMI I fundamentally cannot lose this weight. I eat one meal a day. Except Fridays where I have a take out meal. I don't drink. Because I can't due to medication. I have 2 sodas max a week. Doesn't matter still nearly obese. I have been this way since I got a car. There's something about walking and taking the bus that I can't emulate through going to the gym.

Right now I'm taking the extreme tactic of just not eating foods 3 days out of the week and that's working. Slowly. But no one who eats as healthy as me should have to do this. I show people my meals. I prepare them myself. I don't make fried foods. My meals are not low carb, but it's not like I eat pasta every day. I show professionals my meals. No one can say there's anything wrong with them.

The bizarre part is that at nearly 40 my medical stats are perfect. It makes doctors not bother me too much about my weight. People would kill for the kind of resting heart rate, cholesterol, etc I have at my age. This is just where my body likes to be if I'm not gonna walk 2 or 3 hours a day.

I'm not saying I'm like most people because i definitely have family who say they don't drink they just have a glass of wine or family members who complain that I only keep water in the house while lamenting they only ever seem to gain weight, but for some people weight loss is not so simple. If I have to skip eating all together every other day to lose a pound a week, something is strange.
You can get a Mac Pro "desktop tower/cheese grater" with M2. iMac too.
I live in the UK, where it rains multiple times a week. I mostly drive on paved roads, not too much mud, roads are rarely salted.

Whether I wash my car or not, it changes nothing - the car will get dusty and rained on over and over regardless of what I do. When I first got my car I would wash it sometimes, but it's inevitably going to rain in the next day or so and return to exactly the same state. Washing it once a year is enough to remove any grease/carbon from the roads.

Why bother? I don't think it's actually "maintenance" if it doesn't maintain the car in any meaningful way.
I want to describe society in the 80s, Western Europe.

Everything is cash-based. My dad got paid in cash. He spent in cash, in stores as well as freely transacting with friends and family. There were (hardly) any CCTV cameras anywhere and of course no smartphones.

The personal freedom and lack of surveillance might be hard to imagine for young people.

The government knows close to nothing about you. They know you exist and would know that you have a job. Nobody really knows how much money you have, what you spent it on, your whereabouts and the mentality very much was that this is nobody's business. The distributed nature of cash makes arbitrary seizure impractical.

Now the burden of proof is reversed. "Money as software" makes possible an unlimited number of disturbing scenarios.
Wouldn't even have to fudge the numbers if you choose the "right" metrics.
I dunno. I never had chronic back or neck pain until I started working office jobs. When I was at university, I spent periods sitting at desks, but was never strapped to one for 8 hour shifts. I would sit down at a desk for max 4 hours at a time apart from during extreme crunch periods, and would spend the rest of my day walking around, lounging and chilling in different positions, excercising, etc. As soon as I started working at an office it became noticably harder to reach an over-10k step count daily, and even though I continued going to the gym and doing heavy back days, my left trap has become completely hardened up, and I've occasionally had lower back pain too during stressful times. I'm totally unable to train upper traps because they are literally like bricks. When I have a weekend where I walk and lounge a lot, or am off sick, or go on holiday, my traps feel significantly better and my workouts are better. It's a lifestyle where you are unnaturally in one position for too long that causes this.
Do you have A/Cin that room?

I actually have a similar desktop next to my legs, only it has the Xeon version with twice the cores. It's an absolute PITA in the summer with no A/C. It's also quite noisy when the temperature in the room reaches 27 ºC.

No, because naturally it is different kind of requirements and space is at a price as well.

That doesn't follow at all. Gorillas are well known for their habit of making nests. Making pillows isn't difficult.
The third party display thing is dead on.

I have a $2000 AUD LG monitor that Mac OS just occasionally decides to overdrive (or something) and cause instant but temporary burn in. I'm not the only one - you can find others on Reddit.
I'm a Brit who can squat too, and I think it has quite a bit to do with not weather shoes at home and wearing "barefoot" shoes / zero-drop trainers outside. I have a hunch that it's lengthened my calf muscles and achilles tendons, which makes squatting much more comfortable. I couldn't really do it before switching to barefoot shoes.
The difference, if I read gp correctly, is that an older major release would still get new security updates when necessary, but if you already are on the current major, which had been out without this problem for quite a while, you will only see security updates bundled with minor feature changes like the one that introduced the JVM incompatibility.

Not really an Apple-specific problem, it could hit anyone who supports multiple versions without opening that can of worms of allowing completely free mix&match of fixes and updates.

Part of this is also what market expects from the companies. If they want more people hired more people get hired even if they are not needed. If they think firing and cutting head count saves money and improves profitability that will happen.

In the end it is about messaging and what action sells at the moment.
Mostly, but JIT is not allowed in the App Store apps, so probably this change didn't broke anything over there.
Well, how long do we work on some slide decks to convince management? How much we polish them aesthetically? This is a scientist working to convince a management board. So he puts effort in it and tries to make a convincing pitch.

They can get away with it because Linux for desktop is still not really usable.

Cheaper than a missile, which are launched in the thousands in any operation, without any expectation that one specific missile will do any one specific thing, should be plenty cheap enough to consider each of these drones disposable.
I’m sure there are some great points in this paper but this bit of un-evidenced bit of speculation turned me off:

> It has been noted that guide dogs working in towns breathe the same pollutants as humans yet do not have asthma. Could this be because when they lie on their chests the kickback from the upper ribs keeps the corresponding vertebrae mobile, allowing the sympathetic system to work efficiently?

Or could it be one of the many other physiological differences between humans and dogs ?

I think the author notes that this is mostly a collection of anecdotal observations, but linking a primarily inflammatory disorder like asthma with musculoskeletal problems is a bit far fetched in my layman’s opinion. Sounds a bit like chiropractic quackery to me.
Specially when changing that just on the last, final, release.
Wasm is simple, well-defined, small enough that one person can implement the whole thing in a few weeks, and (unlike the JVM) is usable without its standard library (WASI).

LLVM isn't as simple: there's not really such thing as target-independent LLVM IR, there are lots of very specific keywords with subtle behavioural effects on the code, and it's hard to read. I think LLVM is the only full implementation of LLVM. (PNaCl was a partial reimplementation, but it's dead now.)

ANSI C is a very complicated language and very hard to implement correctly. Once Linux switches to another language or we stop using Linux, C will go the way of Fortran.

Part of archiving information has always been format shifting. Never think you can store information, forget about it for a thousand years (or even five), and have it available later.
Nah, I am thinking like half a table and half some tricks to generate ... back in the day people were doing crazy crafty tricks to squeeze the most out of the rather limited memory of the machines.
This is really interesting.

As Ruby gets better async and multiprocessing tools via fibres and ractors it will be interesting to see what style of concurrency suits it best. i.e. Go

I've used ConcurrentRuby on JRuby for years as a stable Swissarmy Knife of tools aping the things I'd do in Java.

More recently moved towards the lightweight Async for non-blocking IO.

My gut feeling is that longer term I'll use Ractors more once they mature, not just for parallel processing but because they also provide a way to control side-effects. Probably the best model to copy for that would be Elixir/OTP style.

No difference to me. It's an OS update. My policy is to wait before installing any OS update on my work Mac, whether its major or minor. Just wait at least a month. So far I have avoided all of these bullshit issues over several years of updates.
Perhaps another investigation by the EU, coupled with a $1bn-$2bn penalty, will give them the message to stop doing this.

Otherwise they won't stop. Apparently it works. Many of us should know an elderly person who gave in and accepted those harassing boxes and switched to Win10, then Win11 and Bing. "They" all respond to one thing, when you hurt their wallets. So.. EU do you thing.
I am hoping that there will be a way to make it so that there is no choice....
That might actually be part of it. If you go to YouTube, things like laundromats, vending machines and CAR WASHES are pretty big with the passive income "movement".

We're seeing more car washes opening up around here, but I think that is just as much about having the area under services for ages. Now I don't have to wait in line for 45 minutes, or risk a fine for cleaning my car in the drive way (which I don't think you should be doing anyway).

My reason to use Macs is for the modern version of NeXTSTEP and iDevices, not really for the overpriced hardware.

However at home I have always been a Windows/Amiga/UNIX head, with Linux being the cheaper path to that UNIX experience, had Microsoft not messed up the POSIX layer, probably I would never have bothered.

For some time I even tried to acquire one of those nice Toshiba laptops using Solaris that Sun used to have.
Exactly. 1 Israeli is worth 14 Palestinians. Just what I said before.
I wish they would stop that, as well.
The extremely nonlinear scaling is what gets me.
There’s another car wash being built in my neighborhood right now. There are now 5 within a 10-15 minute drive from my house.

A few years ago, mattress stores were popping up all around my neighborhood. Today most of them are gone. These things seem to come in waves and I’ve never understood what drives it.
Wait until Copilot gets bigger. More consolidation ahead...
For Elsevier, Knuth was just an editor of a Journal at peak. He is not a legend for them just one of hundreds and thousands of legends they manage.

Like a (legendary) middle manager which is in the company since the start and built it up but does not agree with the current business goals of the company. We know what happens with these managers.
I once emailed Dijkstra. I was 14, it was the mid 90s, and I had just connected to the real internet a few months ago. I had just come across his name as a prominent computer scientist. I wanted to be one just like him, so I asked him what I should do.

He replied. it was 3 full paragraphs. He told me to study algorithms and to learn python.

You're right. I absolutely should frame it.
It's fascinating you doubled down on your own straw man and still have the nerve to call others delusional.

You missed my point, which I wasn't very clear about, so my mistake. Although it doesn't seem like you're interested in understanding anyway.
But Windows knows it's being virtualized. Why doesn't it disable Hi-def output when doing so?
It seems to me that this comes at the price that now in your geometry the diagonal of a unit square does not have a defined length. Only an approximate one of 1.41421, but what does this approximate?
Go's development process is fairly open and democratic though; if enough people flag it up, and if a case can be made for stack traces, it can be added.

As it stands though, the consensus is that it doesn't add enough value, it's too expensive (cost/benefit), errors are normal program flow, and 3rd party libraries can add the functionality if one decides they need/want it in their application.
I do like the Task Energy plot towards the end (second to last plot).

It shows how wasteful these new Intel processors are compared to their direct competition.
There is a common irony of authors selling overpriced books complaining about things being too expensive. And I wish it applied to Knuth.

Unfortunately, Knuth books are not the most expensive, by far. Sure, TAOCP is about $300, which is expensive, but it is not a single book, and it totals to about 3000 pages, which is 10 cents per page. It is actually below average for textbooks.

In his letter, he complains about articles selling at 50 cents per page, so 5 times more than his "most expensive" books. So for me, it is true that Knuth is "part of the system", and also that buying TAOCP is probably a waste of your money (because there is >90% chance you will never read it...), but here, he has a point. So much that today, many don't even bother paying for articles at all, if it is not open access and it is not on sci-hub, it gets ignored.

As one of the few that have already converged to electric, and have parents in classic homes/with ICEs cars well... Heat pumps works well in NEW home, in old home they work BUT the needed power is a problem for the grid if applied on scale + BEV charging, we simply can't produce enough electricity to keep the grid frequency.

That's the real point: the new deal works, and it's needed for various reasons, a bit different than those for who is advertised, but it can ONLY be realistically done in new homes on scale or being limited to very mild climate or climate with moderately warm winter and even hot summers, but hot only during the day, where coupled with p.v. we can shift peak demand on p.v.

For the entire world, like it or not, we need new constructions, new buildings in dense cities are a no go, so we need de-urbanization. BTW de-urbanization can be done AND can produce a gazillion of benefits if done well, only it's not good for those who live on human pasture. Those + the classic reactionarism of the mean people give a bad evolution so a bad outcome for us all.

To give some numbers: living in a COLDER zone than before I heat a home twice the size of the previous with 1-4kW absorbed power. The old one: 24kW methane gas. A neighbor have switched it's ancient diesel based heating with a heat-pump that absorb 8kW, well, if all home nearby absorb 8kW, let's say 10kW since there is not only the heating we need an updated grid, witch is doable BUT generating enough energy it's another business. In summer my consumption are at 80+% on p.v., but heating happen in winter and during night and early morning in particular.
That quote isn't about Go specifically though, but about general application design. It seems to be a subtle snipe that languages with stacktraces like Java, C# are too complicated or have too many layers ("lasagna code"), making them more difficult to debug.
Not saying you're wrong, but what else is there that just works and is usable instantly when you open the lid?

While my work Windows laptop might be faster, it's certainly not the one I'm going to pick in a pinch or when I want to travel with just one laptop.

The best mobile configuration I know right now is a Macbook Pro + Parallels. Even with all of its deficiencies.

Are there any good Linux laptops with similar experience as Macbooks when it comes to power management and time from lid opening to usable state?
Let's not pretend that Mac OS is immune to a bit of the old upsell too. Core OS that features only work when paired with iPad/iPhone. iCloud is actively difficult not to use. The sidebar with the Apple shares and news apps.
>I have to wonder, with a $690 price tag and a 320 watt power budget who is this chip for?

There used to be a business in selling these ultra performant ST chips to high frequency traders, who'd overclock the absolute crap out of them. Luckily, this is no longer a business. But these kind of products used to be the "waste stream" from them, left overs.

But now, the KS-series intel chips are for slightly insane gamers and overclocking enthusiasts with more money than sense. That's okay, there's a real market segment there. At our work, we buy the 14700K for dev machines like sane people.

Boeing Faces Tricky Balance Between Safety and Financial Performance
The libraries for other supported languages of CDK are built as wrappers for underlying JS or maybe TS code via https://github.com/aws/jsii

So all the core CDK code is written first in JS/TS and then stubs for the other languages are added

Unfortunately this is often done without consideration for how the other supported langs actually work, and artefacts of e.g. JS lack of support for kwargs leak through

This is why e.g. the typing in CDK Python is completely broken - pretty much uniformly the concrete types like "Resource" don't implement their corresponding interface like "IResource" (to a type checker)

(There are many other typing niggles like this but that's the most egregious and pervasive one)

At the end of the day, having to explicitly cast concrete types as their interface to satisfy type checker is a minor annoyance, albeit a stupid one that could have been avoided with more care in the core library.

I could live with that, but I encountered so many bugs and issues trying to use CDK on current project that it's now much clearer to me why every company I worked at previously was using Terraform.

Pretty sure some of those issues are ultimately CloudFormation ones. The cumbersome CF > CDK JS > CDK Python stack is great for obfuscating errors and making debugging hard or impossible though.

Pulumi do something similar, albeit with Go as the core language and Terraform underneath. From what I've seen with a little use they have a much more successful result though, Pulumi Python was not a complete mess, and deploys faster and more reliable with better error feedback. I guess they just took more care to get it right.
