I'm not making any moral assumptions. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of Apple's moral assumptions that they're making in their posting.

> It won't devolve into a malware-ridden mess that destroys the privacy and security of users.

Windows, GNU/Linux, and in fact Mac OS X itself, are all doing fine. The real security problem is elsewhere, it is disingenuous to use this as an excuse for monopolistic practises.
Visual Studio is the best debugger right now, but it is also incredibly simple and primitive. In 2019 we should be able to program/scripts our debuggers in a million way. Dealing with large data sets in visual studio is still a pain. I want watches that can run queries to search for data, and reformat their display. I want to associate watches to functions or point in time etc.

The sky is the limit and I am sure someone could sit down and reinvent debuggers which basically haven't been evolving for decades.

Even though RemedyBG is in infancy and there's plenty of work ahead, it has the ability to surprise us tomorrow with features that haven't been in any other debuggers.

A quick question: does it matter from which university one received his PhD in Germany?

I read multiple comments, that unlike in the US and in the UK, most universities in Germany are considered more or less equal.

But wouldn't a MSc / PhD from Humboldt University of Berlin be considered above a MSc / PhD from University of Potsdam when applying for jobs and negotiating the compensation?

You're missing the point. It's not just about the fact that two crashes happened. It's that the crashes look suspiciously similar.

So this is both statistically suspicious, and points at a possible common cause for the crash, making it even more worrying that there's something seriously broken in this design.
I am aware of this. Hence the reason for mentioning it–Apple clearly chose to use BSD because it's not GPL, but I don't think it's fair to complain that Apple is bound to contribute back. This is the tradeoff the project made when they chose the BSD license.

I asked wolfram alpha what 65 cuft meant. I now know that it is 1/10 the volume of a gray whale. Or 1841 L.

Compared to the american version (66cuft, 300mi), the german has a marginally smaller cargo volume but a far greater range (480 km vs 540 km)

> Its undermining it becuase Apple Music a direct competitor of Spotify effectivly doesnt pay the 30% Apple tax which makes it hugely cheaper.

...as is the case with every native app? Notes doesn't have to pay the same tax as paid notes apps, for example. The only solution here to establish "fairness" as you want it is to abolish any marketplace fees entirely, and that's pretty nonsensical, given that 15%/30% isn't a bad fee as far as middlemen go.

> prevents them from linking to a landing page to describe Spotify business model, it prevents them fron doing anything or Apple will pull the app off the store.

And so every single app would simply link to an external payment system. The App Store would cease to generate any meaningful revenue. Apps would freeload off of an expensive and involved review process, reaping all of their benefits, while not contributing back to the service or platform which allows them to exist in the first place.

> With iOS consumers don't have the option of going to another App Store

Correct, it's certainly unfair competition but what I'm saying is that it's still not a monopoly, not that it's "fair". When you paid for the iPhone you also paid for the services bundle that you bought as a package. Now if Apple controlled 90+% of the market this would fall under antitrust laws (MS+IE situation all over again). But they only control 15%. Users have the option of going for the the same/equivalent service provided by other vastly more popular phones and their app store(s). So every link in the chain has a perfectly good equivalent.

And even Spotify has a choice. They can shaft Apple and become Android only, since Android has 85% of the market. The reason they're not doing it right now I assume is because they would also shaft themselves, the AppStore might bring a very big chunk of their revenue (historically iOS users are bigger spenders).

Practical example of single supplier without an actual monopoly: If you buy a GM car you're left with one option for a subscription telematics service: OnStar. You can't get Lexus Link for example. I don't think it ever occurred to anyone to call this a monopoly.

What I actually heard reading that closing statement...

We’re proud of the work we’ve done to force companies like Spotify into a walled garden, restricting hundreds of millions of paying customers purchasing choices, and we wish them continued success — after all, the whole point of creating the App Store was to sell more iPhones so rent-seeking off the app-developers that made us so successful is just an added bonus.
So you can reach out, without taking your eyes off the road, unerring find the control and adjust it? Because that is what I can do with a conventional switch or knob.

I have Carplay in my car - which I like a lot - however I'm under no illusion that using it while driving, is much much worse in terms of the amount of time it takes my attention from the road, than a similar physical control.
Fully agree with this statement. As a person who study UX for living a lot of people actually doesn't understand for what User Experience stands for. It is not just nice interface and simple clear minimalistic design although those are also important factors.

When you put a large touchscreen on the right side of the driver seat the moment you need to get feedback from the vehicle or do something you are distracted and your eyes are not on the road.

Now before all Tesla owners say, yea but my autopilot is on, and yea it is not as bad as I though it will be, you are still distracted and the primary task that you have in the vehicle (driving) is now with not optimal user experience which might lead to the worse case scenarios.

The physical knobs are far better way to perform tasks in your vehicle while driving, mainly because of the muscle memory your body and brain will generate, you will not only perform the task faster but you will not put constrain on your brain to read, watch or whatever you need to do to perform a task.

You also forget that you are not alone in your Tesla at the road. You have thousands of other drivers who might be as equality distracted or even worse. So imagine what happens when you play with your screen on autopilot and you are not watching your back mirror, while maybe a drunk driver is approaching very fast.

Now I am not against Tesla or autonomous driving, quite the opposite I can't wait the day the autonomous driving will be so advanced that people won't need to drive, mainly because majority of the people don't take driving seriously and the end results is the worst one possible, people loosing their life over car accidents.

There were statistics in my country alone that more people die every year from car accidents than people in active war times.

I believe that Tesla can do a much better job to build futuristic vehicles rather than just placing a tablet in the middle of the car.

A big problem we found 11 years ago was that some companies were "too big to fail"

The solution isn't to stop those companies from failing, it's to prevent companies from being "too big to fail"
I interview regularly and I'm really keen to know if the person knows about time-space tradeoff. DP 'like' algorithms lend themselves well to evaluate this. Note that I say DP 'like' because I'm essentially looking for them to say memoization and implement it. And this doesn't really take a crazy DP optimization algorithm to evaluate this concept. And note that this time-space kind of tradeoff is something we indeed encounter regularly; e.g., caching (to avoid n/w call or computation), pre-computation etc.,

So the concept underlying DP is quite useful and it's premature to dismiss it as something that never comes up in the real world.

That said, I understand that it's easy to push this and go down the path of more and more esoteric algorithms.
> as it’s trying to make _you_ write better code and improve.

It’s not necessarily an improvement. When an algorithm processes complex data structures organized in graph or tree, no amount of better code allows to easily implement that in Rust. It’s either slow, or unsafe and hard to implement, or both.

Even without trees, consider a simple LRU cache structure. Trivial to implement in most languages by combining linked list with hash map. Rust implementation is more than 1000 lines of code, many of them are unsafe: https://docs.rs/linked-hash-map/0.4.2/src/linked_hash_map/li...

I never wrote production code in Rust. But based on my limited experience, the language is fine for projects that have few data structures, or they’re simple so you can stick to library containers, and a lot of code processing them. For many practical problems it’s quite the opposite.
You as the administrator should have the ability to change what you see fit. But a program should be sandboxed in such a way that it cannot willy-nilly obtain a copy of another programs data.

In this case the Epic Launcher should, on access to Steam "sandbox", a OS dialog pops up so you can allow or prevent it.

Sure; but I paid $1000 for my phone in part because of that capability. My phone would be worth less if I couldn't install apps like spotify. And unlike a game console, app purchases aren't used to subsidise the phones. Its pure profit for apple.

And I wouldn't have a problem with that in general, except it feels dirty to claim Apple are saints for graciously allowing apps like spotify to be sold on their platform. They're already being paid for doing so through phone sales. Leveraging the monopoly they hold over the ios app store against Spotify, one of their competitors, is exactly what antitrust legislation is designed to prevent.

> hypocrisy of Apple's moral assumptions

Apple's 'moral assumption' is that Spotify would like to 'freeload' off of their store. The App Store is provided with the intent that services which are based off of it contribute back to the App Store.

Open-source software is not provided with the 'moral assumption' that users contribute back.

There is no hypocrisy here. Apple is criticizing Spotify for trying to sidestep the moral expectations of the App Store, but Apple itself is not sidestepping moral expectations of the open-source products it uses.

> Windows and GNU/Linux are doing fine.

Are they? In what context? Do you really think Windows does "fine" for the average user, and that they are not at a huge risk of malware, terrible software, and more?

It's also disingenuous to say that security problems are not in large part caused by how open available distribution channels are. We have proof showing that the App Store has provided an objectively more secure environment for the average user than Windows or even the repository model.

Thanks! Looks very interesting, going to watch the video about Druid linked in the README.MD later[0].

And no worries, it's very easy to forget not everyone is introduced!

Anyway, to actually engage with your point: I can see the appeal of an all-Rust framework: good typing system + high performance (both in speed and low memory use, ideally) sounds fantastic!

So out of curiosity: how do you think hot swapping would be handled? I'm asking this who has not dived into Rust at all and only observed it with interest from a distance.

For starters, I understand Rust has fairly slow compilation times, no? Or is that only true for optimized code and do we have fast debug options?

Similarly, hot swapping requires maintaining state. With JS that's not too difficult because you don't worry about memory layout: as long as the high-level structure and names are the same the code works fine (it just kills the JIT optimizations).

With WASM, that goes out the window: add or remove a field to your struct and all offsets change. Rust may guarantee no memory leaks, but that is not the same as guaranteeing that a snapshot of the memory state of one Rust program works on a different one.

I guess some kind of "export to/import from JavaScript based representation" glue code that runs every hot reload could work, but that sounds like it could really freeze the browser when hot-reloading the big frameworks.

Ballot rooms are just about as decentralised and non-standard as it's possible to get your head around. Voting machines are the exact opposite.

Are we actually discussing that someone could or would roll out a (nationwide?) network of hidden cameras across church halls, schools, and other places[0] where people go to cast paper ballots. Undetected?

Distributing compromised software - or designing your attack into the hardware - for voting machines would be child's play by comparison.
