Considering all of the dirty tricks and favoritism between Spotify and Facebook, I’m not sure they are the right messengers for this.

Oh, and one of the early execs involved with Spotify told me, point blank, “that man needs to die already” in reference to Steve Jobs before his passing. Yeah, I was just as shocked as you might be in reading that. I doubt I was the only one aware of such dark sentiments.

The executive team at Apple is probably looking at this website and thinking, “sorry but not sorry.” Making life difficult for Spotify could be seen as a way to carry on Steve’s legacy.
Zerohedge is unbanned from facebook now. Trump Jr and other high profile folks commented on it. They had to turn that around.
I agree, for a basic editor Sublime is faster, generally speaking. (ie, open, navigate, search, etc...)

But while actually coding, I can't tell a difference, and in some cases VScode is faster than Sublime. (in my experience)

But faster doesn't help me when code complete doesn't work correctly on one file for no explainable reason. (and the myriad of other "small" bugs that wore on me...)

The timing of this is interesting in the context of Elizabeth Warren’s recent proposal to forbid platform operators from also being participants on their own platforms.

It looks like they’ve filed a complaint with the EU Commission; I wonder if it will become a talking point in US politics as well.
I have a license for SublimeText for long already, but never tried SublimeMerge, because of the missing integration.
But I like the release and consider supporting SublimeMerge as well.
Does anyone now the current price? The site does not show the price for me.
Not an expert, I'm basing my comment on stuff I've learned from third party sources.

It does not sound to me like lying, more like a confusion of project constraints. I.e. "make the plane better but don't touch this and this and this arbitrary system".
> Would the newspapers of the time be decrying the "shame" mobs as truth was inevitably spoken to power?

They absolutely did. This was what MLK's famous complaint about the "white moderate" was about in Letter from a Birmingham Jail.
I love the following comment because it begs the question: Where do we draw the line? When do we, as a society, stop contemplating every single person special needs? When do we stop the "everyone is a snowflake" mentality?

RPG Maker 1998. For weeks as an elementary school kid I hounded some hobbyist game dev forums about what the hell "variable" means, until an older member relented and tutored me.

I was doing simple things like custom spell animations and cut scenes. I built a few dungeon rpgs back then, and sought more and more powerful tools to make simple games, GML, and finding Java in highschool was my first experience with a "real" language.

I suspect the $2k could suffer from a free-rider problem from those who never intend to acquire such a job - especially in low cost of living areas with few jobs but unwilling or unable to relocate. Ideally it wouldn't make sense to do so.

Too wide, width too variable with season, insufficient roads to justify the effort and expense.
For very security sensitive embedded applications, this could be a huge boon, since it reduces attack area surface, both from the point of view of executable pages, to the simplicity of the interpreter vs full JIT. Granted, there are many JS interpreters already available, like Ducktape, that fulfill the same benefits, but the immediate upside of this is compatibility with the full Node/ES6+ ecosystem and Chrome Dev Tools.

I have to say, Ducktape looks like it might have superior resource usage for very low memory situations.
I have a Scaleway VM and the networking has lots of trouble. Would not recommend.

It's difficult to host a Tor hidden service on Scaleway because half the time the clients just can't connect. I have not figured out why this is.

I also find that my SSH session sometimes just randomly drops. It's nothing to do with keepalive. Sometimes I can leave it for a few hours and come back to it, sometimes if I look away for 10 seconds, the SSH session will be gone when I come back.

EDIT: Here's a chart showing my findings for Tor hidden services: https://img.jes.xxx/1940 the cht1 machine is the one on scaleway. The red charts show the proportion of requests which failed, you can see for cht1 this is normally more than half.

The plane was shot down on July 17th 2014. The day after several reputable Dutch newspapers (MH17 was a Dutch/Malaysian code share) already reported strong suspicions of the plane having been shot down.

One day.

Of course the official report took longer, but there was never any suspicion of technical failure (except on Russia Today).
Zero-knowledge cloud providers just fake?
Yeah I'm curious. How can they say they don't own the key and they can't access your data? I mean how do they avoid people doing anything shady like storing copyrighted music, not allowed porn, viruses, trojans and worms?

> Before social media, someone might smear, criticize or judge you for prank calls you made 20 years ago

This sort of thing used to be a staple of small-town life; everyone knew everything that you ever did and you could be defined by a childhood incident. The only way out of it was to leave. Now we have made the world smaller.
Definitely some schadenfreude going on here. My only problem with this story is that he didn't directly inform the app powner before going public. I think that regardless of who the targets of a security leak are, you should still be a professional security researcher and do responsible disclosure (with some caveats around exposing criminality, oppression, etc... but which do not apply here).

Not really. I get a steady stream of replies to me from ignorant users who reply to "Joe job" spam, as do everyone I know. It's the most common way someone thinks "I've been hacked" when they get the fallout from one of these "Joe jobs"
I haven't really used docker - so here is a dumb question; suppose one makes a setup like the author here, then what does a deployment of new version look like?

Suppose the author updates one of his rails apps and there some database schema modifications.

Is that handled by docker?

How long does a deployment take? (Minutes, seconds ... basically is the tool able to figure out what is changed and only apply the changes or does it remove the old installation and build the new from scratch?)
Saturn had a lot of fit-and-finish issues, but man the S-series was reliable. I had one for 13 years/250,000 miles and barely put more than tires, brakes, and oil into the car.

The oil, though, was interesting. The s-series engine had a design flaw with the oil control piston ring where it would get stuck in its groove due to carbon build-up. The engine would then start burning prodigious amounts of oil — mine burned 1 quart every 500 miles. I put the cheapest oil I could find in as a result and when I did a filter change I’d save the old oil to pour back into the engine (diluted — about 1 qt of old oil and 3 qts of new.). By the time I used up all of the old oil it was time to change filters again.
Sometimes I think so too. And then I look at the alternative ecosystems. Google? Amazon? Microsoft? Not even tempted...

No, because SPF/DKIM/DMARC only says that the mail server at bank.com did send this email. What I want to know as a recipient is if it was the correct bank.com, and not baank.com. Because baank.com can also have SPF/DKIM/DMARC.
> The point is the same. If an action is deservedly shameful, then so be it.

The point is different because censure (as we're using it here) judges the action but shaming judges the person.

Censure: "That thing that you did was bad."

Shaming: "You are a bad person for doing that thing."
Which streaming service plays the most fair?
EDIT: This is no longer true, and doesn't exist in the guidelines

[---- obsolete info ----]

Yeah, it's a bit of a grey area.

However, App Store policies explicitly forbid apps that duplicate iOS and first-party functionality IIRC. Now that Apple has Maps, and Apple Music, and Podcasts, and..., and... should they enforce those rules?

[---- obsolete info ----]
> Which raises the question: to what degree does a platform owner have a responsibility to support the businesses of others?

I wish you'd stopped here because this is an interesting question, but the rest of your comment feels like it stretches things a bit.

What Spotify seems to be saying (correct me if I'm wrong), is that Apple does provide the technical capabilities for third parties to do as they're asking, but Apple is rejecting proposals purely on whim. It's not like there's not a API to stream music on the Apple Watch or play music through HomePod. It's all there. Apple's just blocking them from using it.
Authentication does prove identity, to their mail service, not to the recipient.

But they are right in one sense: it's their mail provider's job to provide the signing infrastructure.

But customers have to know they need it and demand it
Even in the mid-boom (born ca. 1955) there were kids with allergies. Deadly, I don't know. But I do remember a cousin spending a night awake, breathing most uncomfortably, because there was potato flour in a doughnut he had eaten.
Exactly. Especially in SF and Fantasy, series present a much more attractive target. You know the author has put in some love & effort into the books, and you know that the effort YOU put into learning the world and your emotional investment into the characters won't be wasted.

You might of course still drop it after the 2nd or 3rd (or even during the 1st) book due to various reasons (you didn't like it, found something better, were busy, family emergency etc..), but the nth+1 book still influenced in that first sale.
Doesnt really matter where the sentiment comes from if we’re to have an efficient economy. There should be more choices available. Any idea what made the spotify execs wish death on Jobs?

You’re not really painting Apple in a good light here, either.
I knew a smart guy that believed someone could physically watch him through his monitor.
I've been teaching myself illustration for a kid's app I'm making. It's such a different mental exercise than coding!

And yet... I found that I was getting stuck on things while drawing. It really wasn't until I started to bring some of my discipline and rigor from engineering to art making, that I was able to break through. Specifically, debugging what wasn't working with my art. Breaking it down, and trying new ideas.

So I would say, there's actually a lot of similarities in the practice of learning to make art and programming, even if the actual skills, sensibilities, and motivations involved are completely different. You're probably more equipped to make progress than you think.
"Making life difficult for Spotify could be seen as a way to carry on Steve’s legacy" - how does this benefit me as an Apple customer?
They would gladly pay their fair share. They don't own the content, though, the labels do.

As much 70% of a streaming service's revenue (any streaming service, not just Spotify) goes to rights holders.
This exemplifies some of the reasons proprietary app store lock-in is bad for consumers.

Progressive Web Apps -- web apps that are installable and available offline without any app store -- are a viable alternative, and ultimately a threat to Apple's app store racket. It's likely why iOS Safari continues to drag it's feet on PWA support.
I have LZ4 compression enabled on ZFS, and not only it perceivably improves performances on slow drives (due to the lower amount of I/O), it saves actual storage space. An average OS install on hard drive is full of things such as executables and text files which summed up can amount to several gigabytes. These files compress pretty well in my experience, and even if it only amounts to saving a few GBs, it can still be crucial on small SSDs.
> However, App Store policies explicitly forbid apps that duplicate iOS and first-party functionality IIRC. Now that Apple has Maps, and Apple Music, and Podcasts, and..., and... should they enforce those rules?

You should probably pull out the relevant quote from the guidelines. I don't think this is a thing anymore, at least in the way you're describing. If they did enforce it it would be a huge blow to the App Store.
The big labels aren't important, they're going to get their money anyway. This hurts the smaller labels, like my label, and countless others who never see a god damn dime from Spotify streaming.

Meanwhile, Bandcamp streams the songs for free but they allow you to pay what you want. I've made at least 10x the profit from selling tracks on Bandcamp than I ever did in the streaming world.

If Spotify wants to play fair, they need to pay artists more for streams. This site is just another instance of tech bros thinking they know better and meanwhile fucking over everyone else involved.
> I don't think these questions have legible answers.

A lot of things today are intensely emotional (angry, indignant, scandalized) events over non legible answers. The only conclusion I have so far is: this decade is akin to a mass scale depression where anything is a source of madness.
> Apple deliberately leaves those features unbuilt in order to give itself a market position that others can't compete with

There's a vast gulf between "Spotify was blocked" and "Apple didn't spend time and money building a service that Spotify wanted".
I don't see why other watchOS apps cannot store music on the watch itself. Don't apps get some local storage space? Why can't they use that?
Proof is good for you, as it protects you from friendly recipients from following instructions that hurt you from imposters. If you want to deny your own actual actions to an unfriendly recipient, refusing to sign your emails won't help. It's not symmetric.
That’s actually the reason why I don’t by a HomePod
The Intel chips that Apple uses support VP8 decoding since Broadwell and encoding since Cherryview/Braswell. On the mobile side, it was their conscious decision not to support it, just like they newer supported the free audio codecs or container formats either.
CIA Implicated in Attack on North Korean Embassy in Madrid
I actually was an Emacs user for many years and then switched to TextMate at first, then to Sublime.

The major reason back then was TextMate's and then Sublime's far superior support for editting files containing multiple syntaxes. While mmm-mode for Emacs eased the pain a while back then, it made Emacs slow down to a crawl sometimes and TextMate/then Sublime were also a lot easier to customize with regards to embedded languages without having to write elisp code all the time....
Yes, but you still can't guarantee anything about the host the docker container has to run on, so you're still impacted by host configuration and therefore still need to provide a good base environment for running your containers. This is fairly simple with most providers, but in such a case, using Ansible or similar to deploy directly to the host has similar results.
You might be thinking of less.
I have no idea what kind of justification you are trying to make for Apples behaviour here, but you think it is justifiable. If this was Microsoft instead of Apple you would probably be on Spotify's side. And it should not matter if it is Spotify or someone else, Spotify have the money and resources to be able to try and fight apple, so many other app makers don't and Apple shits all over them.
Yes, mail software needs to support it first. Gmail does, at least for hosted domains.
Pandora has an Apple Watch app with offline playback.
You should probably just say its a tutorial on how to install a PWA (i.e. how to click on the install button).

I agree with that. However, what worries me about PWAs is discoverability. How can I find a catalog of available PWAs to download? Is there a way?
Boeing suffered more than 10% drop in the stock price because of the recent crash and Lion Air (an Indonesian airline) plans to drop a $22 billion order. Boeing failed to address the numerous complaints and FAA is reluctant to ground the 737 Max 8 putting lives at risk.

'Any idea what made the spotify execs wish death on Jobs?'

Does it honestly matter? First of all its probably just a joke. But second of all if we assume he said it the day he died that means the joke was made in 2011 when Spotify was a small company. When chances are the joke was made when they were still just in Sweden.
Or you can use Sublime, where it's not an issue. Find works just fine on large files.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-blind_admission

It seems like there are only a few dozen U.S. colleges (43 by my count) that officially have need-blind admissions, so at any school not on this list ability to pay should be expected to be a factor.
IME it is important to actually complete a work in order to begin the editing, beta-reading, etc. process. Very rarely will one come across a writer who does not need to spend significant amounts of time polishing their piece- often more time to polish than the writing time. It is often more efficient to minimize time writing and maximise time editing. Marketing in fiction is often in the form of novel-swaps, blog-reviews, and book signings- in other words you need at least one piece published or in-the-publishing-process in order to hype your work.
Is it really a platform if it doesn't support 3rd party businesses?
If I remember correctly the app wasn't on the app store (presumably because it couldn't get approved)
You might have forgotten this because the market has copied almost everything they’ve done, all of their aesthetic choices, etc — Apple creates products that are highly, highly opinionated. The Apple consumer isn’t buying access to a generic computing device, they are buying a point of view.

Sometimes that point of view is compatible with what you, personally, want. Sometimes it’s clearly obnoxious and Apple needs to change course. No matter what the case may be, however, it’s still a situation of a very specific point of view being sold to a consumer that has actively made a choice that this is, in fact, the point of view that suits their needs.

You’ve got to remember that the iPhone was an EXTREME case of this. The entire mobile industry thought the whole touch screen typing thing was never going to work at scale. I myself wasn’t completely convinced. Yet here we are. You can’t have the good without the bad.
Can someone help me stop playing the world's smallest violin here?

Spotify knowingly built a low margin business living in the pocket of the labels (who force Spotify towards razor thin margins) and Apple/Google (who have, since before Spotify launched, operated app stores for their platforms which are to some extent curated and which are not free market economies).

Spotify feels aggrieved that Apple does not allow it to develop software for certain of their hardware lines, such as Homepod or Apple Watch. Why do I have to allow you to develop software for my proprietary hardware, just because it's technically possible?

The crucial line in their argument is this:

> giving up 30% was too much for us to keep our prices low for our fans. Unfortunately, the end result is that you can no longer upgrade to Premium through the app.

How is this Apple's fault and not your fault? Every market place takes a cut from the vendor. Your business not being able to sustain the cost of doing business is nobody's fault except your own.

Apple should not be allowed to send push notifications about products or services they prohibit other apps from sending. They shouldn't arbitrarily restrict Spotify from updating the app (virtually no information is provided about what infractions Apple saw, and history suggests that companies are great at presenting one side of the argument and then we find that Apple has a legitimate grievance). They should not be able to charge Spotify more because of their competition.

But to suggest that Apple should be forced to allow Siri integration with Spotify? Homepod? Apple Watch? Ridiculous.

Monopolies where prices rise are bad news. But look at UK football coverage. On top of my free-to-air channels (£150 p.a. TV licence) I need a Sky Sports subscription (minimum £25 per month) and a BT Sport subscription (which necessitates one of BT Broadband - gross - or Sky) which I think is around £5-£10 per year. The top flight football is fragmented across all three providers. Is that better for me?
Also the question: on who does the responsibility to be tolerant and understanding lie in such a situation? Is it our responsibility to change green hats to blue, or their responsibility to understand that not everyone sees any negative connotations with green hats? I think in this case, where there is absolutely no protected class being victimised (cuckolds are surely not a protected class), it should not be changed.
Amazon's record with OSS contributions is notoriously poor. For example, see their refusal to allow their query routing extensions to pgbouncer to be used on anything other than AWS:

https://github.com/awslabs/pgbouncer-rr-patch/issues/3

There's certainly room to criticize Elastic for their approach to OSS and/or their response to Amazon here, but Amazon's "open-sourcing" of a bundle of the OSS bits of Elasticsearch plus a few third-party OSS plugins is nothing other than self-serving, opportunistic PR.
We simply don't, because why would we. Of course the effort to benefit ratio has to be considered, but in many cases, like this one, fixes are actually trivial. The only thing that really needs to be ignored is awful trolling, like the one you quoted.

Changing the hat's color is such a non-issue that it's really pathetic that there's actually a discussion about it.
In short: the safety requirements for doing it properly are so high that they were artfully avoided. The aeronautical analog to byzantine password requirements that only make people susceptible to post-it password management?
This is the correct answer. Some guy isnt Spotify. Apple wasnt going to let Spotify proper do it however they just dont care about Jim Bob tinkering.
That's definitely a big one for me. Sublime barely uses any battery, but VS Code gobbles it.
You're right. This is no longer in the guidelines, updated my comment accordingly
