> "We don't need Docker" was also on the front page of Hacker News.

I read it as a typical "We don't need [Complex Tool] because we don't have [Complex Tool Solutions] problems". Not trivializing it, I think those articles are valuable hype-free analysis of the latest tool-of-the-day. "They don't need Docker" and "We absolutely need Docker" are non-contradictory.

Shane and Niko, regarding Tenet 4, what's the latest on an AWS Rust SDK? AWS Rust members contribute to Rusoto now. Are there plans for an AWS branded release?

1. Google shuttering products because they're not profitable

2. Google adjusting product terms to ensure they can continue running it

Pick one.

> AWS, Google, and Microsoft are all going vertical by designing and manufacturing their own chips

What are the GCP and Azure equivalents of AWS Nitro?

You're suggesting the media use a new, accurate term to avoid the "wow, aliens" sensationalism and voluntarily lose out on page views/ad clicks? Cool, who do you think will go first?

If you gaze long onto the birds, the birds gaze also onto thee.

Yes, a bit of shakeup at the top. Jassy now CEO, Dave Clark stepping into Jeff Wilke's role as head of retail. I assume Charlie Bell will step up as head of AWS.

Based on their examples:

* Consistent UI performance under load. Not the same as "goes faster", just "doesn't slow down".

* More efficient resource/CPU utilization.

* Smarter loading of resources (kind of a sub point of 1)

I think they're trying to say it's "consistently not-slow and efficient with resources". Does "fast" express that well? To grandma, sure. To a technical audience, no.

Origins for the creation of a practice need not be the reasons it continues to exist today, unless we're mindless lemmings just copying what every previous administration did. (That may well be the case though)

How fitting that the tutorial for vim needs its own pre-tutorial for exiting.

> You can pardon people before they're convicted of anything.

Ford pardoning Nixon is the usual example.

Don't know about consoles but the mobile version has different game modes and those modes have differing levels of stress. For example, public deathmatch is a very mechanical live-die-repeat in contrast to Search and Destroy which is known to be particularly high stress throughout.

Very interesting overall.

> Apple allows booting unsigned/custom kernels on Apple Silicon macs without a jailbreak! This isn’t a hack or an omission, but an actual feature that Apple built into these devices.

Indefinitely? How do we know it's a feature vs a temporarily convenient oversight?

> Our goal is not just to make Linux run on these machines, but to polish it to the point where it can be used as a daily OS. Doing this requires a huge amount of work to be done, as Apple Silicon is a completely undocumented platform. In particular, we will be reverse engineering the Apple GPU architecture and developing an open source driver for it.

This looks like the major bullet point. The wiki is currently empty, but while it's WIP, it would be nice to see some of the major milestones or breakdown of the goal mentioned above.

Best of luck to Hector and the contributors!

Thanks for the correction. I did write this thinking narrowly as a privileged resident and I remember now not everyone has that freedom unfortunately.

> - The primary lesson I learnt is that it doesn't matter if you work hard. Nobody notices, and even if they do you will likely not get anything out of it. Do your job, but don't kill yourself over it. Work-life balance is king.

I think this close, but a little off. Work hard only on what matters. Join the high visibility projects and work hard on the important parts. "Nobody notices" -> that's up to you. Document and demo your achievements every few weeks.

Work only the good jobs. If it's not good, switch teams ASAP. Never, ever wait for "things to improve". So many times after I switched jobs, I said to myself "Man, why didn't I leave sooner?"

Can we appreciate, though, the mechanical difficulty of a machine dealing with a stack of microns-thin sheets and precisely plucking 1 of them at a time off of it fairly consistently despite variances in environment humidity and paper thickness? Probably static electricity plays havoc in some cases here.

I've worked with million dollar printing equipment in a factory before and it needed daily coddling as well.

On the other hand, the printer software/protocol/driver developers have no excuses at this point. There's no reason for that to still be as bad as it is in 2020.

At this point maybe FAA should have several "hot drones" charged and ready to takeoff as soon as the next sighting occurs to chase down the culprit.

No I agree with your initial statement. The victim is not deprived of data or normal operation. As stated elsewhere it's blackmail.

Adding: Wikipedia is also not necessarily authoritative.

It does matter in the context of the author addressing the /r/rust community. If you had posted the reddit link instead this would make sense.

But I don't think the language is relevant for the direct inciteful.xyz site itself. Better to submit both links separately than trying to combine them as they have different audiences.

With the amount of rebuttals in this thread, I'm impressed `chromeisgood.com` isn't taken.

> The desire to build custom versions of everything seems to come from a few places: 1 [...] 2 [...] 3 [...] 4

There are personal reasons as well:

5. Innate curiosity and excitement about technology

6a. Get experience

6b. Resume talking point

Many of us picked a career in IT because just like building things out of Legos is fun, building a streamlined full CI/CD pipeline is fun, building a full stack application is fun, etc. Speaking of career, one needs to acquire experience in the new technologies to pad their resume and it's convenient to do it on company time.

I'm not justifying putting your interests ahead of your company's, but understand that's what some of us do. I'd say #5 and #6 are often stronger drivers for decisions than #1-4.

Bonus, if they tethered it to the suspended receiver, it would automatically follow the action right down to impact, albeit with unpredictable viewing angles.

Same, specifically the Patterson and Hennessy course. Good to see this material being accessible for younger minds though.

Substituting your equivalence:

> She used an internal security tool to push the law

Even for messages I agreed with, I would still find this a questionable activity and disruptive as an employee.

OP was directly responding to:

> They've mostly given up on the idea of a clever person finding a new money-hose. They just focus on the one they have now.

The financial numbers suggest they have not given up and have succeeded incrementally towards other sources since. How else do you correct the above statement?

Here's one breakdown of it showing 88% of revenue from ads [2017]: https://www.visualcapitalist.com/chart-5-tech-giants-make-bi...

I'd like to see one for operating income, though, because I know AWS has a higher operating income than Amazon's Retail arm, even though Retail has a much higher revenue.

Hah, won't this perpetuate? Whenever M(N) is released M(N+1) will be on the horizon with even greater promise.

Just to quantify your adjectives, per the Anandtech article:

> The M1 is really wide (8 wide decode)

In contrast to x86 CPUs which are 4 wide decode.

> It has a huge 630 deep reorder buffer

By comparison, Intel Sunny/Willow has 352.

You can disable the ligatures for all those fonts and only see =, ==, === explicitly.

I'm not clear on the outcry against ligatures. This is a client-side setting and not committed to code, is that right? If so, this is like prescribing that we should use dark-mode over light-mode because I like it.

Now during the pandemic we might screenshare more often so I can disable it for that, but for development on my own time on my own screen it's nonyabizness.
