On apps sold through the App Store, Apple makes 30 percent. On free iAd-supported apps it makes 40 percent.

Personally, I don't think iAd Producer (or its sibling) will create "native-quality" apps. I can't imagine games like Infinity Blade being created in HTML5. But surely, database viewers (like many apps in the App Store are) should run fine.
That explains it. I was looking at the chart in the article and thought he had missed Angry Birds Seasons. Just makes the EA logo next to Angry Birds seem out of place.
Maybe it was so they could get their commission. I once had a roommate who sold phones. He used to talk about the tricks he'd use to get more commission out of a sale.
This is so true. Trying to use the mental tools that work well in physics with biology will lead you astray most of the time.
The counter is pretty cool. It will probably up my productivity/decrease my browsing at work.

The only problem is I'm experiencing a much higher than normal rate of tab crashes. I hope that will clear up.
Where's the "rank" part of this PageRank? This looks to me like a digraph of movies indicating some kind of directed relationship between movies.
If you ever been to a F1 it is the sound and smell of burning fossil fuels that adds to the energy and excitement of watching the race.

I would not pay to just watch electrics race. 3 years ago at MotoGP they had electrics race and it drew little crowd. For consumer use yes I am totally for electrics but for the race track it will destroy the spirit of a Formula race.

KERS is a great addition to the petrol motors but not a full electric replacement.
I just thought I'd chime in for Team Swinburne from Australia, which is a university team who R&D a brand new electric formula car each year. Amongst other challenges down here, the electric engines (which can only operate up to 100C) overheating in the 35C Australian ambient is a pretty big one.

Not much of what we need actually exists, so we also engineer our own charging trolley, battery box and computer systems.

Here's our 2014 car specs: http://www.teamswinburne.com/the-car-2014/
I’m not suggesting every artist make their own, rather that a generic all purpose art sale/resale/royalty contract on the Ethereum blockchain seems easy-ish to do (I might try it) and then... just instantiate it with yourself as the artist and whatever signature you want? Sorry if that’s not the right word, but however one deploys a contract object.

I don’t understand how this is any more susceptible to cloning or any other problem. Maybe also not less susceptible but I still don’t get the value add of the NFT versus basically just a good transparent contract with a few things stored.

I do get the value add of the gallery/dealer but what’s their advantage in using the NFT instead of a contract? Is it just so Beeple can set numerology prices in USD?

Still feel like I’m missing something fundamental here, I’m usually not more right than everyone else.
I gave up on VSCode + vim bindings after several failed update cycles. VSCode would update, then VSCodeVim would get laggy or break altogether.

I tried Space/Doom Emacs, and they were ok, but you end up living in this weird space where you have to learn both sets of bindings.

I migrated to Neovim + CoC and have no regrets. CoC and Vim was problematic, but it works amazingly well in Neovim.
There are some tools that make horizontal sharding much easier, like Vitess which is MySQL only. But most businesses won't come close to needing these kinds of capabilities.

I would say for anyone starting out and worrying about how large a single node can scale, Postgres can run well on aa 64/128core server, 2TB ram and 20TB ZRAID6 with a chain of read replicas. This can be done out of the box on Postgres without much issue and can get many businesses quite far, but once you go to the lots and lots of TB, or you have specific write latency, consistency, or other requirements, you have to evaluate multiple databases against your company's specific usage patterns and data, as no benchmark will give you a good idea.
Try tethering a cell phone first. It’s the simplest thing that might work. You will always be solving problems as they come up. And they won’t be what you thought was critical before you left.
Cuss no one gives a shit. People get in a Tesla and feel like a million bucks.
This isn't true. If you block javascript from running, then that will include blocking WebAssembly. WebAssembly is only started through javascript, and if things ever changes so that webpages can include WebAssembly directly, presumably it will also be controlled by the same browser settings that control whether javascript is executed.
Certainly the thing to use in the near future would be starlink. 50-150 mbps and <100ms ping. Right now they're only advertising their service for fixed locations, but if you park the van in one place for a while it might work out just fine.

We use Viasat at our farm and it's acceptable but kind of slow and has a long ping. I'm really itching to get starlink which they've projected will be available at our place later this year.
I'd argue the opposite: in my experience, a uniform glass surface is a lot easier to clean (and avoid getting dirty in the first place) than some bumpy surface with crevices into which crumbs inevitably sneak in.

Re: a single remote for everything, the term for that is "universal remote", and not once have I been satisfied with one due to the difficulty and fragility of programming it. Maybe in this day and age we can finally make that programming dead simple and robust; Logitech came close with its universal remote from years ago, but even that still wasn't quite easy enough to setup and use to fully replace all my remotes. That HDMI-CEC or whatever it's called also comes close, but it's restricted to HDMI, obviously leaving non-HDMI devices in the dust.
it was mostly a bandaid of hype to tide people over until the Amiga Sidecar was ready, which was essentially a full 8086 pc in an add on box. IIRC it used some rather expensive dual-port ram as the interface between the two systems by which the PC side's display and basic I/O could be merged into the Amiga UI. This later became the rather more elegant full ISA compatible Bridgeboard used in the 2000 series Amigas.

I am fairly sure a comparable x86 software emulation solution existed for the contemporary Mac of the days, called MacCharlie, which like the software-based Amiga Transformer was useless for anything other than a proof of concept demo.
One time I used Darwin open source to make a printf-sprinkled version of the dynamic linker to track down a bug that was causing our app to not start on about 1/3 of our install base. There were no error messages or console logs and the logs produced by feeding dyld environment variables were not helpful, so the ability to build a custom dyld was instrumental.

The problem wound up being that we leaked a sticky bit directory into part of our install, the installer inspector hid this from us, and apple changed dyld's behavior in a patch release to silently bail if it saw a directory with sticky bit set.
>Poverty is a circumstance, not a value judgment

Really? All I see is someone who lacks good judgement when I read that article.

I had a Mercedes once and sold it when things got tight. Holding onto an asset like that when you're impoverished is just foolish. I can't imagine being unemployed that long either. I'd be raking leaves for money after two months.

The inevitable failure happened not because of particular details that the central planners disregarded, but because there WERE planners in the first place. The market has a network-optimality aspect to it that a monolithic institution cannot replicate.

I guess the author means 'using php to for writing web apps that are not a index.php file, a file called 'includes.php' and a couple of files called 'header.php', 'content.php' and 'footer.php' which then have functions called 'printHeader() { echo "<table>...</table>" etc. }'.

Basically, the way php application were written 10 years ago. I consider that the 'wrong' way to use php, but it's how it's (necessarily) taught so many people write their first couple of apps this way (and others never rise above this stage).
It was a cruel twist of fate to claim the life of a visionary such as Huxley on the same day as JFK and C.S. Lewis. Much like Sergei Prokofiev, who had the misfortune of passing on the same day as Stalin, this event flew completely under the radar.

It's comforting to hear the back story to this, of the strength of the bond between Aldous and Laura. In a world that was steadily moving toward the dystopia he feared in Brave New World, at last he found the courage to face death and go peacefully.

What a pity his message is now so misunderstood (cf. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1919530)!
That cover is awesome. Congrats pg!
It's true that the book is set in London, but I believe that the 'native reservation' that the characters visit is in fact in the US.

Correct. That's a reasonable thing to do. You sign up with a service you trust because it's convenient and useful to you (e.g., Etacts), and then you make sure that your trust isn't abused.

You do the same with your credit card whenever you purchased from a site or in a store. You trust them, but then verify that you are not being screwed over.
This is where aesthetics fails over functionality in a big way.
How is one supposed to teach itself to love what he does?
Agreed, the pricing "trick" with them is that you aren't paying for bandwidth upfront, only what you use. For our particular use cases it has been a huge money saver.
Java's performance is generally significantly better than Python's (although that doesn't necessarily mean you should use it, as MichaelSalib said).
Is the data going to be made public? If I were to fill it in, knowing would be essential, and would affect what I typed! (primarily the last field)
You can't play most MMO's on a PS3 or Xbox 360 and MMO don't need great graphics so it's really a fairly low handing fruit. Most of them also support digital downloads so lacking a DVD player is not an issue.

Anyway, I have a Mac mini, play WoW, have an HDTV and I would really like it if I could use it to play on my TV.

PS: Targeting the MMO market with overpriced stuff can work. These cost 150$ and seem to be doing well http://www.creative.com/soundblaster/worldofwarcraft/press/w....
Alternatively, the Deep State in the US and the US-dominated parts of the planet means you're all going to live in America-lite with Disney's IP rules and Monsanto's food. You can keep the cookoo clocks and quaint costumes.
The N4 was explicitly Google branded hardware with Google providing the hardware support (Google handled RMAs, component replacement, etc). It is Google's responsibility to support phones they sell as Google supported devices.

It is no different than when you buy a car. You go to a Ford dealership, they sell you a car, its their responsibility to repair and maintain your car during the agreed upon warranty period. You wouldn't tell someone to "file a ticket" with Ford instead of calling their dealer, would you?
In the past, I had pseudo-pair programmed in order to test. We'd agree on the external-facing API and pair-program a slow in-memory implementation. Once that was completed, we would split off and one of us would write test cases against the API (fixing up the in-memory implementation as needed) while the other would work on a proper database-backed implementation.

I haven't done this in probably 7 years, though. Mostly because I haven't cultivated this kind of working relationship with my coworkers.
> The political viewpoint of The Economist has shifted. Twelve years ago it was right-liberal, today it is left-liberal, but that is only because the above character has shifted in his views.

True. I dare say that during the pandemic, policy articles have shifted towards Keynesian economics which is a huge U-turn from 00's and early 00's. On the other hand, the CEO changed in 2019, maybe that has something to do with it.
The difference between music and programming is that programmers seems to earn a lot of money.
So a lot of untalented people want to be programmers.
But not everyone is suited for programming and not everyone can be a good pianist. Imagine the state of music in a world with a lot of rich pianists and everyone wanting to be a musician.
Couldn't this be argued for a lot of things: boxing / UFC is legal but fighting is ethically/morally bad and should not be encouraged, celebrated, or promoted. American football is legal but has pretty horrific long-term effects on the human brain. Beauty pageants, the list goes on.

You're right about the accredited investor double-standard though, hopefully that gets removed soon.
I recommend this interview with British documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis. A clever analysis of how social media shapes the public.

Pen and paper for the last 10+ years.

I loosely follow the lab logbook format (I’m a programmer, senior/principal level)

Typically I note decisions, information, and goals from meetings.

I also start the day with a todo list that also serves as the basis for my status in standup.

Additionally, I will also note my own problems, goals, and ideas throughout the day.

I keep pen and paper with my at all times during the workday. At my desk it is always within reach and open to the day’s log. Before COVID, I would only bring pen/paper with me to meetings. Now with zoom meetings I position myself so that I still only have pen/paper in front of me.

pen/paper allows me to more easily express and work on complex concepts than a computer. The act of writing also helps me with my memory and focus. And it helps me to refine my thoughts and thinking. for example, taking the time to think, write, and list my todo for the day results with a well-formed and short standup status.

It does take some time to figure out which format works best for you. One thing that I have learned is to always date and title, even when it seems insignificant.

Lastly, I find that people are more receptive to pen/paper than a computer or smartphone. It’s low tech, reliable, and uncomplicated. For me and my social challenges, It helps with showing people that I’m listening to what they are saying, and that I’m interested to hear what they have to say. It also helps me with processing and comprehending what is being said. When I don’t understand, I can quickly note that and circle back when appropriate.

cheers.

===============

Hi! I'm approaching graduation (this August) from Oregon State University with a BS in Computer Science. I like all kinds of development, but I'm partial to backend/API. I love to learn and am comfortable picking up just about anything I need and would be interested in learning a new stack. I'm looking for an entry-level full-time software engineering role to follow my internship this summer where I'll be working with Java on some aerospace things.
That is such a big difference. Is it food suply related or lifestyle? The states with larger cheese production tend to be heavier than hotter states which could mean location might be the cause but it might be genetic.
Hmm, the thing is though, this info is rarely 100% false... people have tried things like labeling posts with truth contents, etc. and it falls flat. In cases where it is 100% false I think your approach works (although it might not actually be a sufficient deterrent).

In practice they always seems to be mixed with partial truths (when you read past the headline)... plus, determining what's "true" is kind of a nonstarter, especially at that scale.

I am also certain you would find things on NYT, WaPo, etc. that is not 100% truthful, even if the consequences are not as egregious. It's not just Breitbart. I say this because people on the other side of the aisle will take whatever you design and throw it back at you.

Identifying critical thinking as the problem (as you did in your post) is IMO somewhat right but maybe too hard of a problem to solve (as you pointed out).

The way I see it... we're in the middle of a tug-of-war between the old guard that used news & other power structures to broadcast what they wanted, and the new, democratized users who felt they didn't need to trust them while simultaneously being empowered to have their own voice heard.

The former would manipulate our perception of what was going on through news (print / media), while the latter are empowered by companies that control the new media landscape (Twitter / FB / IG).

What's interesting about the latter is that they leverage a system that was designed innocuously ("serve better ads") but can be adapted to control someone's perception of what is happening in the world (targeted content / engagement).

As of late, I've been thinking that the way forward is going to be identifying the forces that drive extreme polarization and re-imagining them to reign them in.

When I look at what happens with the way feeds are designed, there is such a crazy reinforcement of what I already "like" that drives polarization that maybe it really is just as simple as re-designing the feed to promote more diversity of content. It could be enough to temper some of the extreme outliers of craziness we see on either side of the aisle.

I will admit I am arm-chairing a bit here...
For me it became a matter of helping people. When I was able to help other people with my knowledge and with the experience that I had, the title became basically a part of who I am. I think the best way to say it is that when you look at the way that people work when you have someone who is going above and beyond to help others you might consider them a lead engineer but that kind of implies other things such as some management duties means a lot more meetings, but to me the senior role is more about helping people make progress with their projects using
your technical expertise you have learned on the job. For me it came after 4 years of consecutive employment after school; when I was able to contribute to projects at a high level, complete my work on time and then have extra time to help others.
Do private schools not exist in your area? In my city in Australia there is a public city school which is perfectly fine but contains people of all backgrounds and then there are a few private schools if you want your kids to only associate with people of a similar background.
>Is there something original or exceptionally interesting in there?

Presumably the exercises and organization, if nothing else, both of which end up being a large part of the value of any good textbook anyways.
One capitol police officer was also bludgeoned to death by a fire extinguisher. Several rioters were openly carrying and pointing firearms indoors. Your post falsely minimizes the violence of supporters of the president seizing the capitol building while congress meets inside it to intimidate them into overturning the lawful democratic process to favor their preferred candidate.

That's not how fiat currencies maintain value. I suspect, if you do a thorough analysis of history, the inflation rate is going to be mostly uncorrelated with the percentage of GDP spent on military. Perhaps it might be negatively correlated, as high military spending typically means wars which have historically (especially in pre-modern times) resulted in massive financial crises for those countries heavily involved in them.
There must be some reasons why no one does dual entrance boarding. Obviously there would be an additional cost for jetways that would work in that configuration. That might be why the only time I've seen boarding at both ends of a commercial flight was an Ethiopian Airlines flight in Tanzania with a stair car for each door. Even with everyone needing to climb up stairs, the boarding process using both doors was pretty quick.
I've done this by setting the / register with * as you mentioned, but I still use the :s command, type / and then use the ctrl-r / key combination to paste the contents of the / register, then type the second / and then the replacement.

The g and z set of commands are pretty useful in vim.
I don't think actual data is possible, only estimates. Any data would have to be self-reported by miners which can operate 100% anonymously
The most recent proposed legal framework in the UK for self driving vehicles (summary at https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-60126014) recommends that legislation be passed so that

"data to understand fault and liability following a collision must be accessible;

[There are] sanctions for carmakers who fail to reveal how their systems work"

The proposals are very detailed but do seem to be addressing a number of areas around how autonomy is marketed, and how to ensure vehicles are safe and that vehicle makers are making available material information on the inner workings of their software.
Oh you are right. I didn't realize that "You authentication methods" is clickable as the UI makes it look like just a header to me.
There isn't a simple, definite answer to this question because the skill of the players affect how much luck determines the outcome. Unskilled players are much more likely to bluff, call bluffs with weak hands, and over or underestimate their hands. In a low stakes, beginners game, there's enough variability that one player with a little more skill won't have much of an advantage. In a professional tournament, the best players show up in the top spots time and again.
it appears you can order a replacement sensor for the myZeo. Has anyone looked into hacking it to see if you can build something cheaper than $250 which will use the sensor?
Huh? The Economist magazine has been going on about the housing and asset bubbles continually since about 2000-2004 (and is still saying that housing is way over-priced in the UK, which it is).
I found the main benefit of attending a strong undergrad school (Berkeley) was the network you built and the exposure to other quality students. In many ways, more meaningful learning and skill-building occurs outside the lecture hall than within it.
There are plenty! But that's besides the point. You most likely will end up writing some software as part as a PhD in CS, but that's not the objective. Most of the time, the software will be proof-of-concept stuff to validate some of the research you've done. Or to assess the performance of a new algorithm, or whatever. Your comparison of equating R&D to hacking on some open-source project is really apples to oranges. In any case, a PhD in CS is, 99.9999% of the time, not about hacking, at all.

The list is not created at function call time, but at function definition time.
Comparing Go generics to those other languages is putting on some very rosy colored glasses. The primary design goal of the current generics implementation appears to have been discouraging their use. I hope they'll iterate on it, but at this point they're basically painful and annoying at best.
