> What would be an anti-trust issue is if Walmart took steps to prevent their customers from shopping at Costco.

Apple is not preventing you from choosing to buy an Android phone.

Owning an iPhone is like being in a Walmart. You can either buy from the store or go somewhere else. Walmart-made products will be cheaper in the store. You can always go somewhere else. You can make the choice on whether you want to go to Walmart or Costco before, during, or after your stint in either.
That is a lie. When this law was codified, the authors went well out of their way to make it explicitly clear that "ports of entry" have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.
The German magazine "Der Spiegel" has a catastrophe map, depicting which areas would become uninhabitable in case of nuclear accidents: https://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/soziales/atomkraft-diese-i...

It's significantly more than a few km, according to that map. It's based on the research of Viennese climate scientists, according to the article.
Not impressed. Shouldn't this be one of the basic features of OCR?
Sure, I can imagine that's fine for car telemetry and you enter into that knowing. It's common technology, even pool cars will have a black logging box. Do I expect a device in my home to be mapping out the floorspace and sending that back to unknown parties (whatever the location) without consent? Then no, that's different.
While renewables are awesome and we should do everything we can to support their growth, they have a major problem (which is why they currently can't replace fossil fuels). Renewables are not constant energy providers and they cannot scale to demand (either up or down). The best bet with them is batteries. But that means that you have to produce at minimum enough to fulfill a full day's worth of energy demands within the time period they operate (solar: day, wind: windy parts of day, etc). Worse, tomorrow might be rainy, so you have to provide more than a few days. Unfortunately this problem is frequently left out. (And yes, we should also majorly be funding research into new batteries)

This is actually why people argue for nuclear. Not because they (we) want to replace renewables, but we want to replace fossil fuels. They compete in different areas. The more renewables you have (and battery tech) the less nuclear you need. But there still has to be something in the system to load balance and scale to demand. Because renewables currently can't tackle this problem we end up building more coal and natural gas plants (which are cheap! But they get much more expensive than something like nuclear once you price in emissions and health effects).
So then they'll only assign them to the Really Important Cases - not millions of people at once.
Well, for comparison,

IDEX has been the #1 DAPP on Ethereum since March 2018[0]. It's also the #1 DAPP by users and transaction count.

You can't buy crypto with fiat there, though, so connecting your orthodox bank accounts is irrelevant in this case. The founder said yesterday in an interview [1] that they may work with partners to enable this eventually, but so far I don't know any good decentralized exchanges that offer that. Buying crypto on a decentralized exchange with your bank account seems pointless to me - either buy it in cash or buy it on a safe platform (and then get it out immediately so they can't exit scam you or get hacked with your money).

I've only skimmed this thread, but I don't see this perspective, in case people are still reading.

The common thread in practitioners of this stuff, and people attacking those who call it out as rubbish, seems to be rejecting nuclear physics while claiming to be observing (or supporting the possibility of) nuclear processes. I don't mean just established nuclear theory and experiment. Convincing evidence for reaction products is missing -- both nuclear and chemical ones -- and I'd expect detecting reaction products to be relatively easy compared with accurate calorimetry. People qualified to do make such measurements doubtless won't be considered sufficiently neutral, shall we say, about the physics. Anyhow, rather than say "it doesn't happen" they would be able to put a decent limit on the rate of such processes, whatever their a priori attitude. "Science doesn't care what you believe", as I recently saw on a T-shirt.

I remember when the Fleischmann and Pons stuff first appeared. It was so obviously pathological science that it didn't seem worth devoting resources towards it. Did you know that palladium is a particularly useful target for nuclear physics? Then I was doing spectroscopy on fusion reactions with it (and we had probably the best gamma-ray, neutron, and recoil nuclei detectors). There was no evidence of any anomalies associated with palladium. Apropos possibly burying evidence against established physics: those measurements demonstrated that the conventional wisdom about aspects of the processes was wrong. In contrast, I studied fusion reactions for which actual nuclear physicists presented evidence against the basic compound nucleus model; better measurements and calculations supported the model. The work was peer reviewed in the usual nuclear physics journals, of course.
”For example: can you guess what devices I do actually see used in the real world more and more often? NAS units – specifically, NAS units by Synology. A market that Apple isn’t even in”

Rightfully so, I think. I’m hacker enough to know what it would take to manage the safety of my own data, and I think that, for most of Apple’s customers, iCloud is the way to go.

iCloud Sync only syncs, and doesn’t make backups, but syncs between Apple devices fairly well, and it does store data off-site, which, IMO, you cannot expect 99% of people to set up and keep working with a NAS (buy a second NAS and swap them every week? Sync the primary NAS to a secondary one? Sync encrypted to a cloud provider?)

At $3 a month for 200GB data, iCloud also is cheaper than electricity costs + deprecation on a $200+ device that lasts, say, 10 years.

And yes, there will be users for whom 200GB or even 2TB will be insufficient or that don’t want to store their data in the cloud, but I think those are a minority.

There also are people who would like to sync with non-Apple devices, but why would Apple facilitate that?
Charging a $99 fee is something I think is ok. It keeps a lot of bad actors out of the store. Yes yes, there are bad apps that still end up on app store. But that fee does help to keep some out because it's not economical.
I guess what do you consider "settle for less" and how do you valuate your domain? You have the original purchase price (or your annual renewal costs) but it seems that a lot of resellers or squatters tend to artificially inflate demand because .coms are the defacto TLD, yet no one is barking up their tree (no demand).
> React seems far more like a project created by people who dislike front-end development

This is a really poor characterization. I started using React because I love front-end and it was exactly what I wanted front-end development to be. It solved every one of the pain-points I was experiencing with a jQuery/Backbone/Handlebars stack.
Indeed, Istio is very CPU heavy and probably not great for cloud use on a truly large scale just due to cost concerns. Shopify found it uses 50% more CPU then an alternative like Linkerd [1]. Istio also incurs much larger latency and lower throughput then Linkerd [2]. (To be clear, I don't have a dog in this Istio vs Linkerd fight, those are just some recent benchmarks I'm aware of)

Yes, it is. With one that caveat that if it's built 10x cheaper than comparable tunnels, it is. Moving our roads underground is a vastly superior transportation system than we have today. It can be safer, better for the air, better for light and noise pollution, unlock vast amounts of land in our urban areas for parks, etc. I grew up near Boston during the big dig and the city is a drastically different place before and after the Central Artery. The same is happening in Seattle now. The problem is the cost. If Boring Company can solve that (and he already has a history of doing comparable things in the rocket and battery industries) it very much is the future of public (and private) transportation.
Lot's of people using chromium or enterprise chrome.

As long as ublock origin (then incompatible with mainline chrome) is not pulled from the webstore, and as long as there is a simple #ifdef that most linux distros can toggle, I am not really affected by the change. I assume that the same holds for most developers, crucially including the people behing ublock.

>How about an online degree?

Online degrees are often more expensive than in-state school (my current employer has partnered with a major university for a SPECIFIC online degree at 420$!!! a credit hour and will reimburse a whopping 5k of that a year), still require proctored exams.

And again, it's still going to take 4-6 years to get a BA/BS with tens of thousands of dollars of debt and puts me at 38-40 competing against 20-22 year old applicants.

Age discrimination is very real and 22 year olds often have far lower expenses than 40 year olds, so they will work for less.
> I think you greatly underestimate a few things; one being the windows kernel size in memory [...] As promised I checked the non-application memory usage of my fleet and the rounded value of Windows memory footprint by itself is 1.89GiB

That number is frankly absurd. No doubt it includes all sorts of things that shouldn't be included in a proper microkernel, which just goes to show to all those people that call the NT kernel a microkernel (or close to it), are full of it.

In principle, some book keeping memory for processes and the page tables are roughly all you need to live in kernel space.

"Rent will increase to cover the entire value of UBI/minimum wage increase/anything else that helps" is a stock argument. That doesn't mean it's a good argument, just a common one.

On the other hand, in popular places to live (major cities), housing will continue to be a scarce resource. Adding UBI won't mean all the poor people get to move to nicer neighborhoods. But it also doesn't mean that increased rent will eat 100% of their UBI. Rather, it'll increase the amount of money they have relative to what they pay for housing, money that can go to less constrained resources like food and education.

If you think the user interface is bad, try the programmer interface. OMG. Layer upon layer of nonsensical objects to initialize and chain together, each with a bazillion options and no decent documentation about which few are secure. No decent interface for getting the specifics about an error. Not thread-safe unless you create your own array of locking functions (which must meet barely-documented requirements) and pass them in for the library to call at random times. Weird WANT_READ/WANT_WRITE nonsense that makes integration with a bog-standard poll/select loop more difficult. It's like the OpenSSL developers think SSL is the main thing your program should be doing and you're lucky they let any other functionality exist in the same program. The phrase "fractal of bad design" was originally invented for PHP but applies to OpenSSL just as much.

Maybe declerative programming could help with that, like prolog/datalog. I don't think you can go much higher than inputting only the rules and data of your app, the only thing more higher than that I could imagine is an AI that could create a program written in a declerative language with only a subset of the rules, figuring out the rest by itself - which is pretty much what developers do

I can agree with you there if by heavyweight you're referring to it's explicit definitions.

However, have you tried a "SharedModule"? You can throw any number of tiny components into however many shared modules (one shared module for your small-medium sized application vs n-number of lazily loaded shared modules for your large+ applications.)

I myself enjoy wrapping even helper components in modules because I then know exactly what a component needs and it's scope of dependencies.

Nope. Of course not. These opportunistic campaigns use inherent human weaknesses to lure and snare suspecting and unsuspecting users.

Now, if someone is told that official policy states you must only use approved devices and services and you violate that and that introduces additional weaknesses, then yes. But that’s different.

No no no. Nothing about the subscription business model guarantees that an app will be or become sustainable. If I buy an app like this and it works. I can use it until something breaks it. That is true even if I'm the very first and only person who ever purchases it. If I'm the first and only subscriber the app will suddenly stop working a few weeks later when the dev realizes he can't make a living on it.

That stinks for the dev, but it's not my fault, and I shouldn't be punished by revoking my ability to use the app.

Why should Apple care more about indie developers vs a much larger developer with multiple apps and more marketing reach? Sure, you've got grit and determination but who's making them more money?
As someone with an iPad Pro - Yes, definitely. There are so many sites that are just plain broken on mobile safari.

Actually, even Apple's own developer site is terrible on iOS. Views that should scroll to let you see content just plain don't work.
Yes, the security team should be fired since they failed in the educational aspects of their job.
This is a good argument for having multiple app stores. I don't totally blame Apple's devs here: it's completely imaginable that small, innocent changes in what's no doubt an enormous codebase could have totally unpredictable effects on individual search rankings.

The problem is that there's only a single point of articulation. If half a dozen app stores all got search results "mostly right", then little variations like this wouldn't sink a business. This is far from the only example of the single-platform effect. Facebook gets (or is forced) to be the arbiter of free speech. YouTube gets (or is forced) to be the arbiter of copyright claims. In the world of PC games, for contrast, Steam's algorithms can't totally sink a game because they don't have a total monopoly. There's itch.io, GOG, and now Epic. You can go to other platforms (or all of them!).

I love Apple's app store. I love how hard they fight to protect their customers from exploitative and dangerous software. I feel safe downloading apps there in a way that I didn't on Google Play. But monopolies are bad, even in the rare cases where they don't degrade the quality of the product.

dedupe.awk <file >file.tmp && mv file.tmp file

Multifile versions vary, I'd prefer listing them out, alternatively you could read from a command output (ls, find, etc.) with a 'while read; do ... done' loop:

for f in file1 file2 file3
do
dedupe.awk <$f > ${f}.tmp && mv ${f}.tmp $f
done

If you want to apply to specific files on an ad hoc basis, you could wrap the whole thing in a shell function with filename or list as a parameter.

Or 'gawk -i' as suggested.

Properly using tempfile would also be an improvement.
>First, screw reddit. Probably one of the best things you can do is leave those subs - they're letting you compare where you are to what other people choose to share about how they're doing.

I'd agree except they aren't making outrageous claims, they are simply people that got decent STEM jobs at 22ish and have been living frugally socking away as much as they can. Their starting salaries are 2-3x what I make after 13 years.

I still get plenty of benefit from subs like /r/leanfire, it's just mildly depressing seeing 22-24 year olds making way more than me with far more career advancement opportunities and in industries that actually get raises, negotiable salaries and bonuses, things largely alien outside of STEM except for at corporate levels.
