AWS Graviton has been steadily gaining share, a quick Google search says it's up to 20% now.

The two day old account is an obvious hint but I got to be honest, the content didn't look suspicious on first read. I know you touched on it above, but what do you think triggered your AI generated thought ?

Who’s left to buy the stuff they make if no one has a job ?

I need to think about this a bit more, but I think I would love a thread feature in ChatGPT, so that it has the context up to the point of creation but doesn’t affect the main conversation. It would help in two ways, it keeps the main topic from getting poisoned , and allow me to minimise text clutter when i go off on tangents during the conversation.

> becoming more popular as propaganda by certain European politics and ideologists kicks in.

So nothing to do with the new administration—interesting take?

> People call Gruber an Apple apologist, but he's really not

Agree and but it took me a while to realize this. He definitely gives them the benefit of the doubt, and but I think that's okay.

I wonder why they haven't tried to back port SwiftUI improvements/versions to the older OSs. Seems like this should have been possible.

It's been a while since I last looked at SwiftUI on mac, Is it really still that bad ?

I assume it’s because it’s from John Siracusa, a long-time Mac enthusiast, blogger, and podcaster. If you listen to him on ATP, it’s hard not to like him, and anything he does is bound to get more than the usual upvotes on HN.

> Do banks employ fewer people? Is it a smaller industry? No. Banks grew steadily over these decades.

Profits may have grown but In Ireland at least, the number of branches have declined drastically.

My two adolescent children each own second-hand iPhones, which they rely on daily as their most priced possessions. It's intriguing to note their complete disinterest in newer models or upgrades. They regard their iPhones in a manner akin to my perspective on a dishwasher: indispensable, yet no desire for a change as long as they serve their purpose.

> It’s not that useful for phone apps.

If you’re building a large complex app that needs to be shared across multiple platforms, C++ is a common choice. Not talking about games here, think Office, Facebook, Zoom, WebEx etc. It easy to see Rust replacing C++ in that stack.

But as Rust is so much nicer that C++, I could see it becoming popular for smaller projects that want to share common logic, with a native UI on top.

Typically one month in Ireland.

Is advised to use CRDTs for an offline app that syncs to a central server, such as a todo app like Apple's Reminders or Todoist? Can simpler methods suffice ?

Beaglesecurity article just seems like a copy of Cisco original report. Any idea why they would post this ?

The twitter account is private/protected, so can't read the announcement. What's the name of the app?

Any ETA on mobile ?

Are you confident it’s the wrong tool though? Curious have you tried web apps with framework such as Actix ?

I disagree. If you want common code between all platforms (iOS/Android/Windows/macOS) your choices are pretty limited. Right now I work on a large codebase where C++ is used to solve the code sharing issue, but would much prefer it to be Rust.

> If you default to Arc everywhere, aren’t you essentially just implementing a slow GC?

Like I posted earlier, you don't do this everywhere, just some sporadic use where it makes life a lot easier. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

> In async web frameworks you very rarely need explicit lifetimes, because the workload is mostly isolated - a handler gets an input from the request

Was going to post the same comment. Most of my hobbyist Rust programming has been via the Actix Webframework and I only run into the most trivial of borrow checker issues. I guess my projects are not complex or interesting enough :).

>if you use dynamic `Arc`s almost everywhere in your code,

Right but you dont have todo this everywhere, just some sporadic use where it makes life a lot easier. It doesn't have to be all or nothing.

As someone who does Swift 9-5 and dabbles with Rust, this statement rings true to me.

Yeah, I read a dismissive tone in your comment but that's on me, your question prompted some good discussion.

I honestly don't understand comments like this, you know it's ok to competition in this space?

> C++/JNI bridges hassle

For the projects I worked on, the bridges were automatically generated, so no hassle for the developer. Admittedly we built our own code gen system which of course was not free.

Absolutely, many large cross platform apps - MS Office, Zoom, Webex etc follow this strategy, it just doesn't seem to be that popular with the HN crowd.

> I do. But no one hyped Java as the Silver Bullet or the Holy Grail.

Well Sun did actually, apparently Applets were going to change everything.
