Actually, it seems I misremembered, and the bitcode representation is still only used for iOS [1]. Will be interesting to see if that changes with the next release of macOS. https://www.highcaffeinecontent.com/blog/2019

Mostly, it means apps will need to be re-compiled for the new CPU architecture. For a while now, apps uploaded to the Mac App store are uploaded in an intermediate representation, so the final compilation to the specific architecture happen

Compared to my first gen SE, I'd like the faster processor, better camera and better battery life. But I'm not sure I'm willing to go up in size and weight, and get the rounded edges that make it even harder to grip one-hande

The point isn't really whether a theory is 'not falsified' or 'has evidence in its support' (they sound roughly equivalent, at least if you formulate it 'has _only_ evidence in its support'), the point is

You are correct, my comment should have read 'theory' rather than prediction. Alas it is too late for me to edit it, so it will be forever wrong.

Right, your point is that normally, new theories don't fully refute the existing ones - the existing ones turn out to be special cases of the new one - the old theories are not entirely wrong, but rather only right sometimes. Like how

Right, so we just added another required predictive ability to the more precise theory that will likely eventually supplant Einstein's. I don't see why that is at odds with what I wrote - no matter the outcome of the experiment, a

The general tone of the comments here seems to be 'Stephen Wolfram is a pompous ass, so we shouldn't listen to anything he has to say'. After reading through the post I think that, yes, he probably is a pompous ass (you could

Still not done reading, but in this representation, particles are stable shapes in the successive steps of the hypergraph (e.g. like gliders and other stable shapes in Game of Life).

I think it says Next generates a static site - in that case the cost of SSR is only incurred when compiling the site, so speed isn't really that much of an issue unless it's a gigantic site.

Shepherding is when some behavior is encouraged by being made easy/rewarded, or by other behavior being made harder/punished. So shepherding absolutely happens in every aspect of life - systems move toward low energy states, water

You seem to be summarizing Descartes' "Cogito Ergo Sum" - "I think therefore I am". It does indeed prove the existence of something, but it doesn't actually prove anything about the nature of that existence. Ar

I tried DDG half a year ago when I also switched back to Firefox, but didn't like the results at the time, so I switched to Startpage. Then for the past couple weeks, Startpage has been having technical issues, so I tried out DDG again

One relatively easy to draw line is whether the abbreviation has other commonly used meanings. CNN has, while none of HTML, HTTP, HN or YC do.

I think the formula should be - severity * (how widespread is this) - ease of workaround = priority. So if any of those measures change (e.g. an easy workaround is discovered, it's determined that the bio page that is crashing is also

I respectfully disagree on both counts. The puzzles in the Witness are linked - but instead of e.g. picking pushing a lever to help with another puzzle, you learn a new rule that will allow you to solve more advanced puzzles that combine th

Subsidies for those who don't pollute seems like such a backwards solution compared to taxing those who do pollute. If you want people to stop dumping trash in your backyard do you think it's saner to punish those who do or to rew
