In addition, just because nobody is complaining doesn't mean you aren't wasting their time.

"Well, let's say you can shave 10 seconds off of the boot time. Multiply that by five million users and thats 50 million seconds, every single day. Over a year, that's probably dozens of lifetimes. So if you make it boot ten seconds faster, you've saved a dozen lives. That's really worth it, don't you think?"

That's probably putting it a bit too strongly, but "nobody complains" is probably putting the bar too low.
Any recommendation for a companion iOS app to sync with NValt?
I'm very excited and intimidated by WebGL and other graphics/animation platforms for the web. It's something I've always been very interested in but I don't have any clue on how any of it works. I think it will probably always remain mostly separate from the type of typical web dev work I do, but I still want to learn it.

> Guix clearly does track and even bundle dependencies.

No, it really does not. What part of the documentation made you come to this conclusion?

Each package is installed into its very own prefix. The prefix is derived from the hash of all of the package's inputs. Inputs mean: the package description itself (including configure flags and the like), the package sources, and all packages it depends on, recursively. This means that every package closes over the complete directed acyclic graph of its dependencies.

Change any of the inputs and the output prefix will change, i.e. the package will end up in a different, separate directory.

Packages keep references to other packages. Instead of bundling all dependencies under the package's prefix, packages can reference other packages directly. We use the RUNPATH feature to embed absolute file names of e.g. libraries.

A big part of Guix itself is a collection of package definitions. These definitions are just Scheme values. Taken together, these Scheme values describe a lazy graph of dependencies. Guix instantiates parts of this lazy graph when installing packages.

As I wrote above, any change to a node in the graph affects all other nodes upstream of it. If there's a security fix that needs to be applied to, say, the glibc it will cause a rebuild of all packages that depend on it. (There is an optimisation called grafts, which allows us to deliver security fixes without actually rebuilding the world.) Packages that have been installed already, however, will remain untouched. To benefit from a security fix these packages have to be upgraded.

Guix makes it trivial to find the users of any given package in the store, so it's easy for example to figure out if you have software that uses a vulnerable library.

Apple never had an SDK to begin with because they thought developers would write their apps in HTML5/JS. Guess what ?

I agree mind share is important, but the vehicles just aren't generally desirable enough right now for it to be a big factor. The Bolt is something like 0.5% of GM's sales, with them losing money on each one.

All a competitor has to do to overcome the mind share factor there is be modestly less expensive or have modestly better range (while being otherwise comparable).

I seem to recall flash being power-hungry, slow, and a security nightmare. All of those things would be bad for iOS.

Remember how in the early days it was a "big deal" that android phones supported flash but iOS didn't? Tech people used to think that was important, and it netted android some sales, but in the end everyone had to admit that it was kind of a bad idea.
Tell that to Anne Frank.
As an end user, I can't say I'm particularly sorry about how this turned out. Flash was a security nightmare, and devs that continued to use it in light of that helped an ecosystem that put their customers at risk. Ease of development should not be the only constraint.
> regularly got called security on

Boy, this seems pretty surprising. Other folks at google or facebook decided that you looked out of place and then called security? What do executives at FB and google wear?
Where to start?

>> There are some major advantages to the Hybrid approach:
You get to utilize your existing JS, HTML, and CSS skillset to develop a single codebase that runs on both iOS and Android.

This is assuming you have a JS/HTML/CSS skillset.

>> Here’s some Apple BS we can’t avoid no matter what approach we use
>> Xcode

I've done some React Native development and Xcode is almost entirely avoided.

>> Provisioning Profiles

It's been a long time since I encountered issues here as it's all managed by Xcode nowadays.

>> Needing to use TestFlight for beta builds

Why is this BS? You could also use Ad-hoc distribution along with something like Fabric for small scale beta tests.

>> The app review process. Admittedly, the app review time has dropped to about 2 days on average, but when your app gets rejected 7 times like Rizer did (for legitimately silly reasons), your patience can really start wearing thin.

I've been developing on iOS since about 6 months after the App Store became a thing. I've developer dozens of apps and submitted hundreds of updates. I can count on my fingers the number of rejections I've got and there were only one or two that were 'silly' (and those were fixed through a quick appeal). Without the author listing the reasons for rejections it's hard to draw a conclusion here but complaints about rejections are usually BS.

Overall I can't help but feel this was thinly veiled clickbait to advertise the authors app.

Yes, it is just logistic regression. I just dug up my old code from a few weeks (months?) ago, and it seems that somewhere around 90% is not too hard. 60% is way too low, unless I'm measuring wrong somehow.

Right. Apple would never be able to figure out how to get a swf file to run quickly.
> Apple completely fucked over AS3/Flash.

This is complete nonsense.

Adobe screwed over Flash and the number of major vulnerabilities discovered in the decade since iOS 1.0 has proven this to be absolutely the right decision. Apple has the responsibility and the right to put their user's security above and beyond the needs of a minority of developers.

Also your point about AS3 versus Objective-C is hilariously stupid. Anyone experienced in a platform is going to find development quicker than someone who isn't. I would be 10000x faster building an app with Objective-C because guess what I don't even know AS3.

Spacemacs solves the problem of discoverability by displaying all modal keybindings currently available, if you started typing a modal command sequence, but haven't completed a command yet. The additional bonus here is that once you internalise these commands, they stay the same while you execute them much faster. In mouse-centered environments, one would first learn how to do an action using a mouse and after he felt the need to be faster, he'd need to learn the key combo from scratch (for the sake of the argument, let's ignore the few common conventions like F1, cut/copy/paste and undo/redo).

On the other hand, I agree that starting out with CLI is a bit painful. IMO, the middle ground taken by Spacemacs really should be researched (and used) mode.

Still, to extend the metaphor, we may see a world where cryptocurrencies are like Second Life, but the blockchain is like social media in general. Meaning: it's not so much that Second Life didn't do anything useful, the useful functions it performed were just replaced by more suitable systems, while the useless bits were discarded.

Second Life was an attempt to do a full simulation of life online, a clumsy transfer of what it is to be alive directly from reality to internet; as it turns out, the technology of the internet is good at a lot of the fun parts of Second Life (talking to friends, meeting new people) but those can be performed by new systems, unburdened from trying to be a simulation of something else (messageboards, forums, and so on to Facebook/tumblr/twitter etc). The other parts (from raising virtual pet rabbits to the whole concept of walking from place to place) were just sort of fluff, and so the experience faded not because it was a bad idea, but because it could be done better once it stopped caring about the simulated fluff.

Cryptocurrencies may not be that useful, but there's a possibility that they prefigure something larger; they're still mimicking a pre-existing model of currency, economy, and exchange that can itself be disrupted. If we analogize cryptocurrencies to Second Life, it means they'll fade because their functions will be replaced by a completely new way of interacting/handling value, and the blockchain can still be an important technology for that. (For the record, I think it's too soon to tell, and am not that optimistic about any current blockchain ventures.)

Off topic, since this site uses firebase:

For firebase one has to include the API keys and other info in the JS itself.

I think that this is just another mongo DB like hack waiting to happen. Becuase a lot of developers might not know how to configure firebase read, write access rules properly. So as far as I understand anybody determined enough should be able to read the JS and read and write(!!) to other people's data.

Is there something I am missing here?

Having done some light reading on the topic a while ago, I recall there is evidence that of the people deciding on the peace treaty, several were not actually aware of the atomic bombings, given it was only recently learned of by the military a few hours beforehand due to damaged communication infrastructure.

Probably true, and I'm so glad we have Apple in this industry. Otherwise everything would be optimized for ease of development instead of the end user experience.
> No, those are real demodevs.

You say that as if it is a pejorative. In many ways, the demo scene is more demanding of excellence than game development.

Yes, there are differences in priorities between demos and games, but by creating a technically excellent demo that is also a game that "plays really well", they've shown that they are "demodevs" who are also "gamedevs".

And art comes in many forms. Besides the obvious visual/animation/audio artistic aspects of demos, the awe felt at the technical superiority of a great software demo is very similar to the inspirational effects of great physical architecture, but not everyone feels that emotion.

The Taj Mahal is a physical "demo" that demonstrates great "technical superiority", but even people who don't care for architecture tend to recognize it as art.

Not having to drive is a very small part of the reason I use Uber in lieu of owning a car.

LIDAR may or may not have an adverse impact on wildlife, but we should at least find out and see if there are simple ways to mitigate any possible side effects.
I don't think that we have a ton of disagreement here. I agree that in 2013, people were looking ahead to a future of driverless cars, and that it was part of the calculation on Uber. I think at that point the assumption was that Uber would probably buy, not build (they did not, after all, start a serious build program for another couple of years), but Uber (I think wisely) was probably on the fence themselves for a while until the technology got clearer.

The claim at the time was that Uber would ferry both passengers and goods. And we agree that the value Uber was claiming was dependent on being a decent business.

I think that what happened since was they were forced into the "build" side of the build/buy decision when it became increasingly clear that they didn't have a decent business in passenger taxi, and they weren't getting traction in logistics. At that point, if they bought driverless cars, you would be forgiven for asking what value exactly Uber was bringing to any business. Now they have to bank on their differentiator being that they have unique access to valuable driverless car tech, which still strikes me as grossly unlikely.
> Also your point about AS3 versus Objective-C is hilariously stupid. Anyone experienced in a platform is going to find development quicker than someone who isn't. I would be 10000x faster building an app with Objective-C because guess what I don't even know AS3.

FFmpeg, VLC, MPlayer, libdvd*, libxvid, x264, libflac, libvorbis and all the other have multimedia library codebases started in the late 90s/early 2000. Noone cared much about security at that times.

All those projects are under-funded, done by volunteers, on countless platforms, doing very low-level stuff, and supporting many formats.

While going through stackoverflow architecture[1], I noticed that they try to keep CPU usage very low. Like <5%. Does that mean a 100+ TDP CPU is consuming <5 Watt? If that is the case long term than, it would change all the power budget planning. I mean the popular wisdom of "power costing more than hardware" might change drastically if we run those CPU at very low usage.
