It's an ego trip. That's all.

100%. This reads like revisionist history. A well-run hardware program would have ironed out the technical deficiencies well before the ship date. It wasn't like he was laid up for 6-12 months.

That's a property of the filesystem. Linux can boot on either.

They're not. They're ravaged by probably the same quality or slightly higher than average. The cost of mistakes is just way higher.

Depends on what you're doing. If you want to write systems code, Swift is very allocation-happy and will probably not be the best fit. They're trying to make an embedded Swift, but progress is pretty slow, since that's not go

Having kids does ruin your life. But it also makes you realize that that life was worth ruining. I miss having loads of idle time, hanging out with friends every weekend, etc. I also miss the basically complete financial security I had befo

I think the author's criticism of the named initializer requirement is emblematic of a big problem I have with most new languages. The author says that it makes things like vectors more verbose and awkward, which is true. My counter to

I kept waiting for this piece to get really racist.

I'm sorry, but people have lives and kids of their own. To frame this as "Children are being cruel by putting their parents in nursing homes" is totally disingenuous and ignores the realities of modern society. Caring for the

I'm sorry, but how did Wall St "blow it"? Is the piece making the case that if this sell-off had started in January, then Trump wouldn't have magicked up these tariffs?

Yeah that's why I said "in theory". You can't do that with the attribute today, but it'd be possible to add that behavior to a standardized variant of it.

defer is nice, but I really want the cleanup attribute since it could in theory by applied to the return type of a function. In other words you could have malloc return a pointer with the cleanup attribute that automatically frees it at end

The same year the tech industry got taken by storm by LLMs, Apple announced a brutally expensive, niche VR/AR headset with no particular use case. That product was essentially DOA. I think this is the first time in decades where Apple

Genuinely don't think it was the end of the ZLB or Covid. The good times began declining well before that, when MBAs reached critical mass. Interest rates may have accelerated this, but it was always inevitable. When serious money star

You should probably just cast to an intermediary `struct foo *`. It'd be a lot more readable.

Top performers have options and value stability. They also know that they rely on their manager to accurately reflect their work up the chain. Some percentage of top performers report to deadbeat managers, so in an environment doing mandato

I've been saying this since RTO became a thing. Even well-compensated white collar ICs have to deal with many of the same day-to-day realities as blue collar workers. They pay bills, have to wrangle the kids, etc. Yes they live more co

I'm not defending or critiquing IQ tests. I am saying that defining individual or quirky talents as "intelligence" is not useful. By saying, "You're not as politically intelligent as Bill Clinton because he can reme

Respectfully no, I don't think they are. They are talents. Your neighbor probably cannot not teach someone how to look at an equation and visualize a plot of it. That's just a thing he can do. Bill Clinton probably cannot teach so

They absolutely do sell to those organizations and governments. Otherwise they wouldn't bother maintaining a conforming, byzantine test suite. It's a checkbox that's useful for business purposes rather than technical ones, ju

The prevalence of self-reported studies in the nutrition world is a great hint that the field of study is deeply unserious. It's full of quack practitioners who know they can get clicks by torturing the data from a poorly-constructed s

I think part of it is that it's difficult to use bright colors well. It's very easy to go overboard and be tacky with non-neutrals. My wife and I worked with a designer for our house, and we agreed that we would not leave a single

I like the approach of attributing variables better to be honest, e.g. Apple's Libc has a header with attributes for some common resource types. https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/Libc/blob/Libc-1

The threat model of password managers and encryption as a whole assumes that the adversary has the ciphertext. If the adversary can decrypt it, then the encryption algorithm is fundamentally broken. There is literally no point to encryption

This piece reads very nitpicky, and I just don't identify with what it's saying. My use of passkeys in Safari on Apple platforms has been basically seamless. I guess if you use tons of different browsers on tons of different platf

High schools have gyms. Hell even my high school had a pretty decent weight room. Also don't forget that parents bought a ton of at-home exercise equipment during Covid, so the teenagers probably tried it out too.
