I'm not sure it's the same you know. Lands are conquered and retained with politics (i.e. charismatic bullshit) and the application of brute force. It's about suppressing the wills of others whereas winning at commerce in a competitive environment is about understanding and fulfilling them. That, I would argue, is a significantly more challenging task. Many large companies are defined by their size and the advantages it brings, but not so for Apple: lots of companies have the resources to do what they do and yet only Apple ever pulls it off. They really are a different beast.

But I do agree with your other points.
Replying to stephenr:

> Why? To prevent the vast majority of companies with the money to actually support and grow such a project the way LLVM has, from doing so?

No, because the freedom of new languages in LLVM would be guarenteed.

Again, you can of course have the opinion that this is not important, or not as important as the success of LLVM, but that's your decision.
Yeah, today instead of an amusing observation that celebrates our differences, it would become fodder to feed a conflict. It really was a gentler time.
The right answer for a API to draw a line like you describe is to provide every possible way to draw a line since you never know which one the user wants to use. Granularity is one of the general five properties of every good API, of course it is not always good to provide all possible ways since it hurts compactness.
The best I have ever heared about API design was a talk from Casey Muratori:

Maybe what he meant is: If the future profits of AirBnB were known perfectly now, then their valuation should be the present value of all future profits as otherwise there is an arbitrage opportunity.

Since the future profits are not known perfectly, investors assume some risk, so the valuation is lower than the present value of all future profits, so that investors get rewarded for assuming this risk.
I am not a game developer, just a developer and a gamer, so please forgive what may be a goofy question: have you seen or engineered systems that capped the level designers' resources? For a super simplified example, I think of Forge in the Halo series, and I'm pretty sure Forge had a certain amount of monopoly money that gamer-designers ran out of eventually. Would such systems be infeasible more for political reasons than technical?
The FSF is very clear what they mean by "source code"; the GPL defines it as "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it". Decompiled .wasm isn't the preferred form (as you say yourself it's not going to be as readable as the original), so it's not source code, any more than the output of a Java decompiler or a disassembler would be.
Nice. But Laziness with I/O is not trivial at all.

I think to me its so about how preachy it all is. It's summed up by me with

> their goal is to end copyleft compilers.

Copyleft has nothing to do with this. Apple just want to make a better compiler. If a copyleft compiler is thrown by the wayside in the process, or they choose not to release under a copyleft license, that's just collateral.

Stop being so preachy and making Apple out to be malicious. They just don't care.

The Pentium has a 64-bit databus, yet its general-purpose registers are only 32 bits and it is classified as a 32-bit machine.

This gets even muddier with the Pentium MMX, which has a set of 64-bit MMX registers. Of course there's also 80-bit-wide registers in the FPU of everything back to the 8087...

Bitness is a surprisingly subtle thing to define, but I think an 8-bit-wide GPR is enough for this one to be called 8-bit.
> I've seen many Unity projects with the worst code you could imagine still run close to 60 FPS when shipped.

On the other hand, a lot of the worst Unity dreck is horribly unoptimized and runs incredibly poorly, despite graphical simplicity and no real visual effects. If you tool around on Steam or YouTube you can find tons of examples - look up, for instance, Jim Sterling's "Squirty Play" series. Not every bad game on there has issues, but many do.

I actually don't see a problem with using a document renderer for applications, assuming it's actually treated that way. The document-rendering of a browser is lower-level than a UI toolkit, and that makes it more powerful in a lot of ways. But we need to be able to build abstractions on top of it to actually build UIs. I think react.js's approach (or something similar) is actually pretty good here.

A lot of the problems we run into are people treating DOM nodes as if they were UI widgets, when in reality they are lower-level primitives for drawing and capturing input.
Where's your value add, your USP? If you're not going to be the fastest then you can't make money as a market-neutral market maker. You have to be able to offer a better price, by predicting the future value better than other market participants.

For the "faster than a human, slower than HST" niche all I can think of is the traders who automatically react to press releases, twitter and the like. If you're getting data that no-one else has and it affects the price, it doesn't matter whether you're as fast as HST. (Of course if you get competitors who are doing the same thing you still have to be faster than them).

Beyond that most stuff happens at human speed - which doesn't mean you can't do market analysis with algorithms, competing with humans. But speed is always going to be a factor - even if we're talking about e.g. a multi-month analyst investigation that figures out that company X is really a massive fraud (there are trading firms who make their business figuring this stuff out), that still becomes worthless if your competitor finishes their investigation a day earlier than yours.
We aren't talking behavior, we are talking incentive. If you want to argue that different races behave differently in response to the same incentives, be my guest.
It definitely is. The problem, I think, is that people forget these fundamental concepts when they're shoved into a giant legacy code base that clearly didn't follow that process. They seem to get overwhelmed by the spaghetti and forget their entire undergrad curriculum.

As a side note, I find it helpful to think of what the high level business objects will be at the beginning, but build a bunch of utility functions from the bottom up, working towards a DSL of sorts at the various abstraction levels. As you explore the solution, the end location of those functions usually becomes abundantly clear.
Actually, I don't hold that (FSF) position. I just don't accept the idea that copyright rights are a freedom worth prioritising, and users' rights are a freedom worth ignoring. Also, I don't accept the idea that copyright rights are equivalent to property rights in legitimacy.
Looking at some of the comments it would be helpful if you took a step back and clearly defined for the data, data markers and relationship hypothesis you are looking for.

I've done some text file parsing and analysis with just C++ and Excel. You could possibly simplify the analytical process by clearly defining what you need from the text file.
The resources are usually capped in a "soft" way. So if the scene uses too much RAM for a console to handle, it will trigger a chain of emails that is sent to everyone involved, and well.....either I will be given a new task to somehow fit all of it in memory as a programmer,or a designer will be given a task to remove some stuff to go below limit. But framerate can be really tricky to handle,because ultimately, it's not up to me whatever fps drops are acceptable or not.
You hit the nail on the head. The 'bubble' factor is responsible for the different search results. They're not customized, so folks see them as worse. That's the feature I prize, and the reason I use DDG exclusively.
Unfortunately, I can't find a reference (probably in a video), but I heard that Bethesda Softworks had a party when Microsoft announced that the 360 would have 512MB RAM.
You write a compiler from C# to WebAssembly. I don't see how C# is different from any other language in that regard.
Your post and the OPs suggest another factor that I have personally observed as being significant: gender.

I am generalizing but father/daughter, as in the OP's case, seems to result in more leeway being given to the child, which can undermine the authority role of the father. Whereas with father/son, it seems that being more stern and authoritative is a natural tendency or, at the very least, the social norm. Same goes for mother/son vs. mother/daughter.
Two of those games use the Unity engine, and Axiom Verge apparently uses MonoGame.

Garbage collection is often a big problem for real-time performance, especially on the old version of Mono that Unity has.

For centuries, the Church has encouraged large families, perhaps to grow the constituency, so to speak? In the last century of course, they invented a big push against birth control. I don't think the bible mentioned avoiding conception.

In my neighborhood growing up in the East, most families had one or two kids but the Catholic ones often had ten or more. Large houses were common.

The point is, overpopulation is one of the root causes of warming. It's high time for all of us to turn it down a notch. So kudos to the new church.
This will happen for sure. Such super-perceptive computers will oversee our every movement.

Computers can already understand our emotions in writing, voice and from the expression on our faces, they can also estimate pose and understand your movements. They can label thousands of kinds of objects. And they're just starting.

They can also build neural nets 10x smaller by compressing a larger neural net while maintaining most of accuracy. That means once a problem such as vision or speech has been solved with a huge net, it can be transferred in a smaller, more efficient net.

The official implementation it's a standlone library, and has been tested running at same time around 1000 VM's (on a single thread). So if some one implements a server and a web-client with it, could be very nice for this kind of stuff.

And there is a macro assembler (VASM), linker (VLINK) and SmallerC compiler for it.

That would have to be Andy. I'm really kind of a hack when it comes to lisp programming. :)

But yes, Andy's lisp code is certainly great -- all the more so because he also wrote the lisp compilers that compiled it. :)
> One facet which always fascinated me was the dispersion of trading ideas, including the code behind algorithms and any sort of research. Successful ideas are constantly being updated, adapted, and often times stolen. Traders are generally hired for the trading strategies they have been exposed to and the potential value within. There are very few individuals who create new and successful ideas. The rest are just copying what they have been exposed to and hoping that it sticks when they throw it all the wall, which eventually runs each successful idea into the ground as the value being captured disappears quickly.

So exactly like Silicon Valley?

Not trying to derail from your point, which is valid and a good observation, but I wanted to let you know that "Japs" is considered a derogatory term these days. It's simply fixed by saying "the Japanese" or "Japanese citizens"

For a overview of this topic, check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jap
"Apple seem to me to be the worst and most aggressive for exaggerating the significance and originality of their own proprietary code relative to the amount of copyleft code they depend on to run their software stack."

I'm finding this hard to parse. Mix & match is okay, so long as you don't promote what you feel makes you special? I don't get it, this seems to be an emotional reaction to the fact Apple is still doing so well vs. more open source (Android) approaches.

Herein lies the crux of the competitive manner. In what possible way is Apple's success with their proprietary code and processes exaggerated? I mean, Apple might market in a way you find distasteful, but facts are facts - Apple has been wildly successful in profitability, largely because of their proprietary ability to design great holistic user experiences that people like to use. This isn't because of marketing and brainwashing solely, as the products do mostly work really well, with some debate around overall quality lately.

The Google/Android ecosystem has access to the same open source base Apple does, and they've wound up in a different competitive situation - high marketshare, no direct profits on Android itself. Everything is driven by compliments, like Ads. Perhaps that's part the point of open source - to drive out direct profits on a core set of capabilities. But why hasn't it worked on Apple?

I think the issue is not solely about code, it's about ecosystem and all the proprietary bits surrounding that (The Apple Store, the app store, their hardware devices, the Genius Bar experience...). Apple has managed to build a very appealing proprietary ecosystem to both users because of the experience, and developers because of the overall architecture of the app store and potential for $$$.

All of this is not about exaggeration and "it's magic" stuff, it's about very smart people thinking through how they're going to compete against an ecosystem that doesn't want to make any money.

I actually worked on a game that was running on the iPad2 (some gameplay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaq0Sfp3_5Q ) and while you had to optimize quite a bit to achieve a certain number of drawcalls and memory usage it was still developed in Unity and far from what devs did in the ps1/2 era.

GPL doesn't force you to share back either, nor is that its intent.

The purpose of the GPL is to ensure the users of the derived software are granted the same rights the authors of the derived had been granted originally. It's a pay-it-forward mechanism.
> As a side note, I find it helpful to think of what the high level business objects will be at the beginning, but build a bunch of utility functions from the bottom up

Yeah I think this is a reasonable approach, especially as if you do end up completing this, and get to a design you are happy with, it will probably be very different (and hopefully infinitely superior) to your original high level design.

You've probably already heard of it but the mikado method can also be useful in some of these situations.
The API that appears to be well-designed up front was probably preceded by many not as great APIs either done by the same designers, or that could at least be learnt from. That is still quite iterative, just in the long term sense. Real waterfalls don't exist.

If you have an API that does something well known, find and learn from existing APIs that do that. If not, then he prepared for lots of trial and error, scenarios you didn't think of, and so on. It might make sense to put out a "worse is better" API first so the learning and feedback loops can start.
As someone who's used to MySQL, I keep trying to use PostgreSQL (better standards compliance, better behaviour in the face of bad data) - and I keep going back. The psql interface is awkward (too many magic backslash commands to memorize instead of SHOW CREATE TABLE) and always feels slightly laggy somehow.
The usage that would make devices like these attractive to me is if they allowed me to carry my data around, doing most of my work by ssh, but with ability to access/edit data while I was mobile. Then I wouldn't need to carry a bag around.

I doubt I'm in major market segment, but I'll ask all the same: can you ssh into these devices and run standard unix tools? Can you plug a USB-to-ethernet adapter into them?

Following the same trend, the PS5 having 128GB of RAM seems a little ridiculous now, but consider that the PS4 was released in 2013, and the PS3 in 2006, so perhaps in 2020 it may really have that much.
His steps 4 through 6 seem to completely violate the principle of YAGNI. It also seems way too much like big-bang releasing. You write all this code for a very long time and don't have any way to objectively say the design is correct (in that it actually performs the business case from start to finish) until the very end.

I've designed systems in this way before (strangely, they always seem to be some sort of document validation), and they always turn into complete hairballs of code that eventually gets thrown away and something much simpler substituted.

Now, I just stick to DRY, YAGNI, and "Compression-Driven Development" http://mollyrocket.com/casey/stream_0019.html
Anecdotally, if I'd thought of my parents as friends, I perhaps would have been more inclined to tell them that I was being abused as a child.
