I'm trying, but I can't see your point. Company A doesn't have CEO. Company A gets acquired by Company B. Company B thinks it's a good idea for a company to have a CEO, and so provides an employee to take that role in Company A. It's not complex, not a coincidence, and absolutely not something that we should be worried about. It's striking that out of all of this, the new CEO is what you're worried about.

Er...
It's not "Linux underneath".

It's a Mach microkernel and a BSD userland taken from FreeBSD, which coincided with them hiring the founder of FreeBSD into a role to do release management. He's left since.

The fact you don't know this suggests you might not be aware of macOS fundamentals, the history of OS X, or MacOS that preceded it, the design decisions that went into all of those, the user groups they targeted at key points (including the adoption of FreeBSD userland), or their overall design intent.

I therefore struggle to agree with your premise that it's "not designed for pros", or that you are qualified to make that assertion.
Apple is putting itself in an entertaining position in the industry. Most big tech firms have a business model that depends on user data. By explicitly taking the other side of that model, a fascinating new conflict is emerging between tech giants. And Apple is at least positioning itself on the sympathetic side of billions of users in this arena. This conflict will not die down -- the entire FB and Google business models cannot suddenly change to move away from user data collection, so this tech war will only get more pronounced and dramatic as time passes.

It seems like it would be subject to something analogous to the rocket equation -- the more segments, the more water required for levitation, which again makes the whole thing heavier.

There's absolutely no chance that a company like Stripe would spend resources improving a language like Crystal, or even think about porting their current code base to it. If porting was what they wanted to do, Crystal would only be slightly higher than Ancient Greek on their list of potential languages. Not saying I don't like Crystal, but it makes ZERO business sense for Stripe, and they are after all a business, not a programming language improvement charity.

Absolutely, yes. Using your CS skills to write CRUD apps is the path of least resistance to create economic value. Where I live (Johannesburg), the demand for CRUD apps is so high that no single firm or group of firms can absorb it all. You can happily create a thriving software development business in Johannesburg without worrying about competition (maintaining standards and hiring well is a different story).

The most exciting thing at my old job was this DFS I had to do once.

That said, there are very interesting tech jobs out there - such as scaling boring old CRUD apps. The high frequency trading space also has many interesting problems. Imagine working on a system where you start to care about nanosecond optimizations. I interviewed (and failed at it, lol) at Optiver [0]. You should check them out.

This is why I reward, and will keep rewarding Apple with my money. In a capitalistic system, voting with dollars may effect the change that voting with ballots may not.
I think there's actually very minor benefits to the type of tracking that unauthenticated that they're doing, so while they might be able to track less, it won't have a material impact.
Sure. But 'they should be careful they don't get too successful because there are negatives to being very successful!' isn't much of an argument. It's like saying 'be careful not to make too much money! It won't fit in your wallet and you'll have to buy a new one, even if your old one isn't really worn out yet!'. Uh sure, I'll deal with that 'problem' when I get there, thanks.
Awesome write-up, cool stuff!
That's a totally legit theory. Maybe Prop 13 is so crippling California's ability to raise taxes that they can't raise amounts similar to what other states can raise, and so literally can't afford to provide the services that other state's can raise. Let's check:

https://www.taxpolicycenter.org/statistics/state-and-local-t...

Nope! State and local taxes averaged around 10.08% of personal income in 2015 across the US, and California was sitting at 10.72%, comfortably above the average and at the 15th highest, comfortably above the median.

And if we adjust for cost of living versus wages, California is only midrange: http://time.com/money/5177566/average-income-every-state-rea...

So yes, it costs more to live in California, but wages are higher, and then the state takes an unusually high slice of those wages.

> You can't pay the 1978 cost of living to a new teacher in 2018.

Good thing that the California state and local governments are flush with cash then. (Or would be, absent mismanagement...)

I think it'd be nice to have a browser option where it simply won't load content from outside of the current domain. Though at the moment that would break a lot of the web, it'd be a much more neutral solution. To me what's more alarming than Facebook is what percentage of websites load fonts/js/analytics from Google (even Freedesktop.org did till I pointed it out on their mailist). They don't get a referral link (I think?) but they still effectively know when you're online or not

Apple blacklisting sites/companies is honestly more scary... that's basically anti-net-neutrality.. if you're naughty (or Apple doesn't like you) you can't have your images loaded?
ha, apologies then
Welcome to the real world:-) In my view, that's where interesting side projects come in. Either "side of desk" projects at your company, if you're fortunate enough to work for one which encourages or at least recognises innovation and/or has some form of incentive mechanism, e.g. management who actually know something about technology and who might actually be impressed by your enthusiasm and extra-curricular activities and consider you for promotion or a bonus or whatever as a result. Or if you really are in a dead end job with none of that, then side projects in your own time that keep you interested in technology and your skills current and which might even help you get your next job.
I'm amazed that one must go as far as creating different containers - duplicating the browser, dependencies and whatnot - to achieve tab isolation and browser resiliency in Chrome, when Firefox does this with as little as container tabs.

Remember that writing code is one of many tasks of a software engineer. You need to communicate with stakeholders, understand and help shape requirements, work on estimating (yes unfortunately), liaise with testers, liaise with 1st, 2nd and 3rd line support, working on build pipelines, review latest pipeline CI tools, adopt new technologies that improve your pipeline, maintain ssl certificates, blah blah blah blah to infinity.

This article seems to just mention the coding part. Well that would be easy if all you had to do was learn a language well.
I think with time you may find such drudgery is present in every field. Ninety percent of any kind of work we do is gluing together components and solving boring business needs. It's part of the reason I think we engineers love side projects so much -- they're easy to start up, and you can try out academically interesting things (obscure programming languages, cool algorithms, etc.) without caring about the bottom line.

Side projects are good for your brain and in the long-term good for your career (lest you stagnate with old technologies). I recommend having this outlet. On the plus side, having a somewhat interesting job + really interesting side projects gives you both good money and intellectual freedom.

If you want to solely focus on interesting technical problems, I'd recommend working in a research lab or going to academia. On the downside, you may lose that nice paycheck, but your curiosity will remain forever piqued!

A lot of people are missing the point, debating whether this was reasonable or not.

Mark got away with telling Congress ~"we don't share with third parties" and now they're saying Blackberry's not a third party.

If it's all okay, why didn't Mark come clean? and tell his Congressmen? He had a chance to explain this arguably-harmless behavior, but he chose to sidestep it. Why? Did he not understand the question?

It's fine that this data-sharing is maybe reasonable. It's not fine that Mark withheld this from Senators. This is exactly what they were asking about, and given the chance to explain, he chooses silence. He gets to avoid the public debate while the techies argue amongst themselves.
Thanks! Wasn't aware of that link. :-)

I disagree. You might be able to use it to _guess_ but all browsers can throw a quota exceeded exception under normal behaviour. I see this every now and then on mobile devices where the phone is so full the browser refuses to store more localStorage items.
the entire FB and Google business models cannot suddenly change to move away from user data collection

They can though - they can go back to untargetted advertising based on page content as they were doing 10 years ago. All the personal tracking data is a layer on top of that tech aiming to improve the 'targettedness' of adverts. Nothing in the online ad industry really needs any of that personal data, and arguably it doesn't actually make many ads more effective anyway.
In the military, it's common to lie down and have the photographer photograph you from above when you're older and have become a bit larger. It looks more natural than trying to suck-in your gut :)

>(Incidentally I do wonder if Swiss German or Scotts speakers feel similarly, and if they don't to what extent that serves as a counter point.)

I don't know about Swiss German speakers, but Scots speakers tend to be fairly comfortable in code-switching between standard written English and a transliterated form of Scots.

Scottish Twitter is as culturally distinctive as African American Twitter:

I wonder at what point developers will leave. I don't think they will. Changes from Apple might seem to hurt, but people adapt. The changes are not big enough, nor damaging enough to those who have invested themselves in Apple to switch. Normal users won't see much difference.

If you have Apple desktop, a laptop, a phone, connected accounts, apps and associated data, maybe a watch or a TV you are fully within the Apple ecosystem. You cannot leave without it costing you major hassle and stress. This might cause surface inconvenience but it's not going to be enough to push anyone out from that ecosystem. Apple has their users where it wants them, and the users are happy.
From this link below, it looks like Apple doesn't collect much data on you to begin with (vs Facebook, Google, and Twitter).

I asked Apple for all my data. Here's what was sent back

https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-data-collection-stored-r...

So is Apple trying to position itself as the Data Protector Platform You Can Trust? Like how The New York Times has seen a record increase in subscriptions because of fake news.
> I think it'd be nice to have a browser option where it simply won't load content from outside of the current domain. Though at the moment that would break a lot of the web

I have been using RequestPolicy Firefox extension for that for years. You can manually approve domains (ex. let website X load stuff from domain Y as well), so once you figure out which of the dozen other domains it tries to connect to is serving static content (CSS, images) it works great.

Unfortunately, new Firefox broke this, so you can only use it with Firefox ESR currently.

There seems to be a lot of confusion here about what open source means. In practical terms, open source and free software imply the same freedoms for the users, including the rights to change and redistribute the source code.

The more common terminology for proprietary software whose source is available is source-available.

See the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software#Open-sour...
Yeah if you build hardware and aren't dependent on scumlord VC funding you have an advantage over rivals dependent on software and data. Apple and Samsung don't need your data to stay profitable. Google and Facebook are worthless without your data.

Microsoft and Oracle are in a different class. They provide tools to handle high value data.
I agree, but the anandtech article is about Intels anniversary CPU (6 cores running @ 4ghz which can boost to 5ghz on a single core and probably 4.6 ghz on all cores), engadets article is about a 28 core cpu running @ ~5ghz.

If this 28 core monster really is released I'm curious what it will cost. The 18 core i9 costs ~2000 dollar, the 28 core Xeon with much lower clocks (but with ECC etc.) ~8000.

The power requirements will be even more interesting looking at the 18 core numbers when overclocked.
Is this a change to how they handle CORS overall or specifically a peephole check for Facebook?
More that both laptops and desktops are dinosaurs compared to mobile so Apple isn’t pouring R&D into them. And it’s a smart move.
Leveraging Introversion as a Career Strength
This is impressive, although the cynic that I am can't help pointing out that we must have gone wrong somewhere when a "hello world" HTTP server application "only" taking 40MB of RES is seen as an improvement. That's more than 40 million bytes to open a socket, receive a few bytes, parse them and then write a few bytes back. The overhead of modern software development is insane.

Of course I'm not not being entirely honest, a lot of this overhead is probably a constant and wouldn't grow linearly for more complex applications.
Umatrix does a significant portion of what you desire. You can set global rules, so I always block Facebook. I have a separate browser for stuff like banking where I don't want to break the websites by blocking JS.

As to your second point, I think there's a huge, gaping chasm between apple blocking Facebook's tracking and the collapse of civilization at the hands of apple's alleged anti net neutrality.

There are poor M.2s. However it's not SATA vs NVME which is to small a difference to measure in most cases. SATA SSDs can easily hit 1.5GB (b as in byte) per sec.

NVMEs have a small advantage at higher queue depths I believe (not typical of desktop workloads). But all the benchmarks I've seen put the difference so small that it's hard to tell if it's real or just sampling error.

Have been in that boat on several occasions. Eventually escaped to do a PhD and research. Intellectually very challenging and eventually satisfying ... but the money was dreadful. So I'm back in the biz end of IT, boring but well paid.

I think we need to look at how any given company makes revenue. In most cases, it isn't innovation, just same ol' day by day. The only viable escape seems to be to run away with a startup (circus). They can be real fun, but many do flame out and crash. Hard to pick the winners with a technical viewpoint. Again, it comes back to business fundamentals and investor vicissitudes.

Swiss-German sign language is.. interesting. It has Cantonal dialects (I wish I was joking!). I'd really prefer everyone switched to German sign-language for simplicity's sake - in the same way most Swiss-German speakers write High-German instead of dialect.

It might seem like that, but Apple doesn't do it for the good of mankind, but to push their own ad channels.

> "We're disabling insecure MMS on Android phones (Stagefreight bug 2015)

... to eliminate the last remaining open channel for payed content downloads with carrier billing outside of app stores

The removal of the C+= (C Plus Equality) repo and FSF* from GitHub is still fresh in my mind. Oh sure, some have brought the repo back, but the removal of the repo essentially killed the nascent feminist programming language, which could have encouraged more womyn in STEM.

All they'll accomplish is further killing off the already-small presence they have in the gaming space.

That of course depends on the definition of "gaming space".

The classical desktop gaming space, Apple was never a player in it. They simply don't care about it. Hence why they treated OpenGL on macOS the way they did.

But: Apple is arguably the biggest player in the mobile gaming space. That's what they care about. So instead of spending a large amount of money to attract a low number of AAA desktop titles to their OS they just tap into the vast (game-)developer base that they already have in iOS and make it easy for them to deploy and sell their games on macOS too [1].

The move to deprecate OpenGL and OpenCL in favor of Metal makes total sense in that regard.
