Customer to Spotify: support Siri Shortcuts and I will switch immediately.

This bug surprised me too, but the same (or maybe that wasn't update but some weird OS restart) happened to me in Sublime couple of years ago. Fortunately both applications have backup folders and unsaved files can be retrieved.
Why can't developers sell apps in the Android play store?
The older fishermen I know (small sample) really hate this. They say their usual spots that they and other locals in their community have worked out after decades are now blown out, overcrowded and overfished.

The new generation seems to have this thing where they don’t feel that it’s necessary to put in the work to earn things like this, and shout them down for “gatekeeping”.

I see the older view of it, but I’m not sure how legitimate that is.
It sounds that the admission officers have never tried to backup 40Mb of files onto 1.2M or 720K floppy disks.

It is very easy: just keep increasing the minimum cut off point. If you have N spots and 2xN people met the admission requirements, you simply bump up the admission requirements until for the N spots there are only M candidates where M < N. Now you have (N-M) spots and 2xN-M candidates. So you relax the admission requirements until the spots are filled. If at any point you have more people that fill the requirements than you need to fill you repeat the process for the new N.

Or you could do a tennis tournament ( if you have more than 2x applicants). Randomly pick two applications. Compare them head to head. The winner goes to the next round. The loser goes to the 2nd pile. When the total number of the people in a round is less than the number of the spots, everyone in the round gets accepted. Now we repeat the same path for the second pile, etc.
I have a 4 cylinder, rear-wheel drive pickup truck from that gets pretty good mpg and has a 6" truck bed. It's been invaluable when having to move anything. If I had the option to buy an electric one at my price point, I would have. Much of the CC-causing pollution from transportation is caused by semi trucks. You can try to consider how your purchases incur transportation needs, but until those trucks stop burning gas, it'll continue to be a problem.

There's not really a whole lot of electric trucks on the market (at the time I bought mine three years ago, IIRC there was one early 2000s Silverado hybrid model), and there's a ridiculous 25% tariff on imported light trucks. [0] As others have pointed out, manufacturers are not interested in making smaller vehicles. I think they would be popular because having a truck (or having a friend that has a truck) can make several situations a lot easier.

One thing I've done (that you can do too!) that's way better for an individual person to help combat climate change is to switch to a plant-based diet. [1]

You had me, until the point where you turned off libspotify.
The scenarios for humanity are quite grim if climate change isn't addressed in a major coordinated effort in the next few years.

Water scarcity, the death of _all_ coral reefs, sea-level cities everywhere being flooded, massive species die-offs (including ones crucial to human survival, like pollinating insects), oceanic fisheries collapse. . . with more severe scenarios seeing the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of South Asia becoming uninhabitable.

Avoiding this scenario is going require every intervention, large and small, that humanity can muster. This is serious stuff. There's a reason that climatologists sound like doomsday prophets these days.

And part of any successful effort is combating the selfishness and denial of the average person. So pardon me if I'm somewhat unsympathetic to your attitude of self-interested helplessness - "Drive a truck. Enjoy your life. It's too short to matter in the long run." We're literally concerned with the fates of hundreds of millions of human beings here.

Reasoning About Knowledge: A Survey [pdf]
I _believe_ the issue here is some app developers were invited to visit Apple and (perhaps) get access to certain APIs that weren't going to be made available to normal app developers.

- If you're deep into iOS development you know that Apple apps - the ones shipped with the OS - sometimes do things that 3rd party apps aren't able to. For example the Music app gets to be the _default_ app to live in the control panel even if you hardly ever use it and are using Spotify most of the time.

- I believe - for the Apple Watch - some of the 3rd party apps which were already available on the day of the launch were a) invited to preview the Watch ahead of other developers and b) in some cases allowed to use undocumented APIs. Uber may be one example of this - https://www.macrumors.com/2017/10/05/uber-removing-apple-gra...

Apple has been inviting 3rd party developers to preview technologies for a while e.g. https://appleinsider.com/articles/16/06/17/apple-invites-dev... so it seems to be standard practice.

As I read this "Time to Play Fair" website, it looks to me like Spotify is complaining they weren't invited to these preview sessions and thereby didn't get to learn about / get permission to use undocumented APIs.

Of course IANAL
@CaptainZapp

Thanks for that information. I was having trouble crediting a 28 year old with 8,000 flight hours...

That said, it's very likely a big chunk of that wasn't on 737s, or even large commercial jets.
I appreciate that Sublime now offers Git integration natively, but I'm so used to the icons in GitGutter that it'll take me some time to adjust!

I've been using Sublime Text almost every day for the last 5 years, switching to PHP Storm when I need XDebug.

I think people complaining about the cost of a text editor is ridiculous. If you do professional work it's worth it to pay for good tools.
Brute force attacks are now 4x as effective as they were once thought to be, but they are not the limiting factor for AES' security, even at 126 bits. The most likely way for AES to be broken would be a new algorithmic innovation that worked against any key length, or a new kind of computer, or an implementation flaw, or... , and those things are not 4x as likely than they were.
Only for the 'apps' which are just websites but use electron because they want an installer. If you need native access, pwa is not it and won't be.
The original post in this thread said:

> all the FAA can be thankful of is the dead are foreigners so it’s unlikely they’ll be held properly accountable

and that's what the answers are responding too, saying it's wrong and there are American victims as well.
Unless I am mistaken, the regular 737s do not have the MCAS installed,just the MAXs (https://theaircurrent.com/aviation-safety/what-is-the-boeing...)

Additionally it has been suggested that documentation for this physical switch is not well laid out or presented in the manual because Boeing was confident that it would simply stay out of the pilot's way during flight.

Assuming pilot error would seem to be premature if these points are in fact true.
Bottom line: I can't queue and download Spotify content to my Apple Watch for offline use. Considering Apple has a competitor product, there is no reason for me to believe Apple is playing fair.

Secondarily, the expectation that Spotify buck the labels AND expect to bring the concept of 'all music for one price' is a non-starter, so I don't understand that criticsim.
There are so many broken or outdated APIs in browsers, and there is still so much we need in the front end.

- Rich text editors

- Drag and drop

- Native data binding and reactive primitives

- Modern SVG support

Etc.
They state in their timeline that after many years Apple did allow Spotify.
What am I missing here? Why can Spotify not redirect users to subscribe on their own website?

I'm pretty sure I signed up on Spotifys website, then logged into my iPhone. Apple definitely don't get 30% of that subscription fee.
Didn't work that well for me. Tried on 2 GIFs:

2. https://media.giphy.com/media/10mysBwISOvX6U/giphy.gif Results: https://imgur.com/HspROf6 (100% incorrect results)

A naive implementation of reverse-looking up GIPHY database for GIFs would have worked better (in this case, not their usecase).
> It's highly suspected that Dark Matter is working on behalf of the UAE to get a root trusted certificate in order to spy on encrypted traffic at their will.

This is false. DarkMatter already operates an intermediate CA, so _if_ this were something they were actually planning to do they wouldn't need a trusted root CA to do it. So far, there's been no evidence presented that DarkMatter has abused their intermediate cert in the past, or that they plan to abuse any root cert they might be granted in the future.
Why not switch to Android?
That's exactly right, thank you. It's a fundamentally simple point often made by embedded and game programmers (perhaps most famously in recent years in Mike Acton's keynote at CppCon [1]), but most programmers seem to have completely written off most of what computer programming actually is as "incidental".

Let's be fair then:

Phones now have the same level of processing power as portable computers. We shouldn't be obligated to only run applications that are siphoned thru a third party "trusted clearinghouse", be it the smartphone or the operating system vendor.

If I want more safety or I am not a Power User, I can flick a switch on the device to allow that binding behavior to happen. Heck, they are giving me the 'free service' of taking care of app security for me, I could even pay for that if I am serious about having my apps checked and stuff.

Phones are computers. You own the hardware, you should be able to install whatever you want. Always.

Is the argument about protecting the masses of non-tech people? Great, make it an opt-out. And still: There ought to be someone keeping tabs on that big brother (gov regulations? agencies) or else shady behavior can ensue as well.
> - not everything is back from the Lion Air incident, but internally there was strong confidence that a lack of pilot familiarity with the adjusted mechanics of MCAS contributed to the disaster

Sure, if there's a probability you were involved in developing a potentially flawed system that killed hundreds, the natural reaction is to not accept this and blame someone or something else. And it's not suprising that "internally there was a strong confidence" – nobody there wants to be the one saying "uh, I think we messed up here guys". Boeing is a total echo chamber at this point.

It's interesting you mention the MCAS here since...

> - training for the 737-8 and -9 was just short of non existent because in practice, these planes don’t fly differently.

If this were true, the adjustment shouldn't even matter, since the sole purpose of it is to make the plane behave exactly the same way as the old 737, so that the pilots don't have to go through lengthy training for the new plane.

You were trying to patch up changes to the hardware by adding software, so the hardware would feel the same. You claim you have achieved exactly that. But at the same time, you blame pilots for not reacting properly to those changes you made to the new plane compared to the old one. What?
See anyone who has touched "differences of iq between races".
That was also my understanding. This looks less like a reversal than a simulation of a reversal. They are using perfect knowledge to engineer a system that operated in reverse to the norm. Actual reversal would reverse everything, including the unknown/unknowable.

If they can read a bit now that had itself set even one microsecond in the future, flash traders will arrive with truckloads of money.
Alternative theory: they reversed a quantum state while moving forward in time. The researchers, the computer, etc.
Thanks! The project has actually been around since 2004 but has somehow remained under the radar outside High Energy Physics. That started changing in the last couple of years.
This is especially interesting when it comes to comedians being fired for tweets/work they made in the past. I've heard it compared to being fired for ones current coding position because one has 10 year old code on their github that is trash / poor quality.

Of course, that seems absurd. But comedians are fired for jokes they made years ago when they come to light. Was the joke bad? Probably. By today's standards and the standards that we hold comedians to. But back then times were different and the joke may have been more culturally acceptable. Moreso they have refined their style and grown. As you said, they've changed.

It's incredibly frustrating because the shame culture only exists to eat itself alive. You could be a picture perfect person one day and the next be demonized by something you don't even remember doing from years ago.
This is a thing: DKIM.

Lets email servers and domain owners attest that a message was sent by them. For instance, gmail can apply a DKIM to all outbound emails, to verify that it's sent by gmail, and that they authenticated the person that it was sent as. For example, here's one of gmail's DKIM public keys:

k=rsa;
p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAviPGBk4ZB64UfSqWyAicdR7lodhytae+EYRQVtKDhM+1mXjEqRtP/pDT3sBhazkmA48n2k5NJUyMEoO8nc2r6sUA+/Dom5jRBZp6qDKJOwjJ5R/OpHamlRG+YRJQqRtqEgSiJWG7h7efGYWmh4URhFM9k9+rmG/CwCgwx7Et+c8OMlngaLl04/bPmfpjdEyLWyNimk761CX6KymzYiRDNz1MOJOJ7OzFaS4PFbVLn0m5mf0HVNtBpPwWuCNvaFVflUYxEyblbB6h/oWOPGbzoSgtRA47SHV53SwZjIsVpbq4LxUW9IxAEwYzGcSgZ4n5Q8X8TndowsDUzoccPFGhdwIDAQAB

If you get email from a domain that uses DKIM (you can use DMARC to tell), then you can reject that email if it's not signed, or if the signature is invalid. Companies can set this up on their mail servers, so it just works for every email client effortlessly.

Spotify is not the angel here, as it's using same tricks to block free choice and lock in users heavily.
> There's an interesting philosophical question there. Can a vendor who has 15% marketshare really be called a monopoly?

Philosophically interesting perhaps, but legally irrelevant. EU competition law is primarily concerned with dominant market positions and the abuse of that dominance. As the junior partner in a duopoly, Apple are inarguably powerful enough to substantially manipulate the market.

The very same thing happened with a friend of mine.

It's not an attempt to win any scientific argument with anecdotes here, instead I am just adding my data points.
Regardless of Spotify or not, Apple has become a state of the art bloodsucker while delivering flat out products. Making the switch to Android has never been more convenient.
It's about Apple and anyone they consider a (potential or active) competitor. As far as customers come into it, Apple wants to be able to milk them dry and keep them from using anyone who might provide a similar or better service than their own, as well as take over any profitable channels they don't already have support for.

It's 1990s Microsoft on a mobile phone.
This is why I think the "if you're not the customer you're the product" mantra is overly simplistic. In this case, you can still pay $1000 for a phone, and it only makes you a more valuable product for Apple to sell to its (developer) customers.
> and I can do the same thing with an email.

This is the best TLDR ever written.
Homee helps address this.
Vendors could solve the whole problem by letting users choose which default apps they want to install in the beginning. In order to make it simple, they could offer bundles. >95% of the users would choose the 'Apple Apps' bundle on iOS and the 'Google Apps' bundle on Android and the 'Microsoft Apps' bundle on Windows. And the few people choosing the 'Privacy-First' bundle with Firefox and Ad-Blocker are those people who would install an alternative browser anyway.

But instead, they are greedy and want 100% of the users of their platform to use their apps.
> if you tell someone their back pain is caused by repressed emotions, you get what happens in the article.

But...you would (or could?, or should?) never tell someone that, because how would you know? Maybe there is some link but to conclude that it could be the case is pretty silly.

So it's not like that's a stigma, it's just a statement not based in fact that evokes a strong reaction because you're telling someone why they're feeling a certain way when in reality you have no idea at all.
Because Apple rejects their app whenever they try something like that, or even have phrasing suggesting that users do so without actually redirecting themselves.
I use Sublime Text for Vue.js projects because ESLint support was so smooth! (just installed SublimeLinter-eslint) Sorry to hear you had trouble with it.
Eh, I'd recommend Pycharm or even Spyder over any of the 3 you mentioned for Python script development. Pycharm can have a bit of a steep learning curve since it is a very powerful IDE and things can get a bit overwhelming initially, but it has the best debugging experience you can find in Python land. The interactive debugging in (I believe) an iPython shell is fantastic, as are the variable explorers, etc.

Spyder is very rough around the edges but is fantastic if you are looking for a MATLAB like IDE experience to develop scripts in. The integration with iPython is fantastic and prototyping scripts is a breeze. Debugging though is a lot more rudimentary in comparison to Pycharm.

VSCode is making progress on the Python side of things but there are still numerous drawbacks to the current Python dev experience:

1. Python linting does not update in real-time but only on saves which isn't particularly great. You can hack around it by setting a low auto-save interval, but that is not for everyone.

2. The Python shell for interactive coding is not an iPython shell but a basic Python one, which means you don't get all the awesome things that iPython gives you like tab completion, introspection, magics, etc.

3. The debugging experience in VSCode is pretty great but the interactive console in VSCode during debugging only allows single lines of code of entry which is severely limiting.

4. It's a lot easier to setup and configure local venvs for testing in PyCharm along with different run configurations to pass command line args to your scripts, etc. VSCode can do this, but you have to edit a JSON config file and it isn't nearly as easy or polished.

I want to use VSCode for Python development since I use it all the time for most everything else including all Javascript work that I do, but I keep going back to Pycharm because it just ends up being a lot easier to use and makes me a lot more productive when coding in Python.
I'm curious. If you're using a special software for authors, why is it necessary to convert to LaTeX manually? Isn't this software capable of exporting to formats for publishing? I would imagine not a lot of authors bother with LaTeX.
But it can work for individual addresses as well. For instance, gmail uses DKIM. If they only DKIM sign an email if the user is logged in as the address they are trying to send as, then boom, DKIM is proof that the email from is not forged, and the only way to bypass it is to hack the account.

Yes, but I would guess that limitation is done for some "legitimate" technical reason. Streaming Apple Music on the watch just kills the battery life in my experience, and it seems pretty on par with Apple's M-O of limiting expensive hardware access to third parties (like multitasking back in the days). But who knows, could perhaps be out of some evil anti-spotify spite.
