> Users matter: try doing some usability testing. Try adding some help text and man pages, instead of hijacking the wiki webpage of a different SSL project. And stop forking OpenSSL; you’re just making things worse.

1. Apple is not usability testing this 3 year old version of a fork of openssl, because they're not supporting it at all.

2. help text not available because its an apple supplied fork. openssl does tell you to use 'help'

3. man pages do exist. Just not installed by apple like author expected

4. and stop forking OpenSSL; BSD project forked it and Apple wants BSD over anything else because they can put the software in their closed platforms. Even if libressl were on the up and up, Apple's still got a version from 2016 installed.

Those are all Apple problems, not openssl problems.
> I've always thought that a degree was essential to get past HR at large, established companies, but it's not essential that the degree relates directly to the job you're doing.

Not necessarily. Many large companies, including even some of the FAANGs, phrase the requirement as "BS in Computer Science or equivalent experience". That being said, though, applicants who want to make use of the "or equivalent experience clause" should expect to be challenged to demonstrate that they do indeed have equivalent experience.
Can we change the title to something like "Salesforce open sources Lightning Web Components framework"?
Looks pretty interesting, the main selling point for me would be the 'Fully reproducible' feature. I am wondering how you might achieve full reproducibility.
Also I'd need to believe that these competing apps are genuinely on the same playing field as Apple's.

For example, why is there still no Spotify app for the Watch that matches Apple's Music app? I can't believe Spotify isn't interested in making one...
Ah, I misunderstood your commend as saying that you’re currently working on the thesis.
I think you're suggesting Safari on iOS is broken.
Spotify’s main complaint is pretty stupid because everyone has this problem in retail. It’s not unique to Spotify.

If I sell paper cups to Walmart they will take a 12-17% cut for “entitlements”. I can’t compete with the white label house brand on price that doesn’t have those entitlements. The house brand can also operate on a razor thin margin because that product isn’t critical to their business. This is why when you go into pretty much any grocery, electronics, automotive or whatever store the house brand is always at least a dollar cheaper.

These opinions always pop up during these conversations. I agree spending a ton of money on a degree that isn't going to secure you a well-paying job is not a good idea if you do not want to be in debt for years and years.

However, trades are not a silver bullet and there are many down sides. The pay starts out low, and a lot of the time STAYS low. Trades are notorious for stress injuries. Electrician is ACTUALLY a kind-of dangerous job. You can fry yourself by being careless. As are a lot of the trades.

I would rather have my health, a valuable degree, and body fully working than not have student loan debt.

You can pay off debt and make it go away if you are smart. You cannot heal your shot joints.

SO MANY young people abuse their body thinking it's going to be young forever. It is not.
There are 3 kinds of tasks in society.

Tasks that are currently automated.
Tasks that you can automate via input from automated tasks, but is currently done manually.
Tasks which depends on other manual tasks.

Naive people tend to look at this and think "There are not a lot of tasks in the center there, soon we will have automated everything we could possibly automate!". But what actually happens is that every time someone automates something it opens up more things to be automated.

Example: Automated detection of location and good map API's allowed Uber to automate away basically all overhead from conventional taxi services. Of course since those things were automated for everyone it wasn't hard for conventional taxi services to start providing similar features, but that kind of automation wouldn't be possible without all the automation efforts done over the past decades.
They could start banning people they don't like for political reasons, same as payment processors. If people from the other side of the aisle are in power, they could ask Uber to ban illegal aliens.

It's crazy that you won't be able to take public transportation like Uber because of your political beliefs or because of who you are.
Looks like a pretty typical "we solve hard problems and you should come join us" recruiting blog post.
This article did not mention it, but that is in fact how it works: Other countries pay for the recycling.

> and municipal systems pay recyclers rather than the other way around.

Yup, because the value of the recycling is not quite enough, but the recyclers then sell the recycling. That's why there is a whole list of what they won't accept.

It's not because they can't reprocess it, it's because there is no one to sell it to.

If this is news to you, well, now you've learned something new.
The answer to this is yes.
I'm also quite interested in what the Chromium-powered Edge will do.
I'd say at this point, "radical" is the key term here.
Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

> People going into extreme debt for a shot at an OK life is a massive problem, and personally, I don't think its fair to just say "well you should have thought about that before." I agree, they do need to take some responsibility to think things through, but at the same point, we as a society need to leverage their intelligence and work ethic, and give them a path forward in life. We don't do that now for the majority of cases.

But as you said, society _is_ giving them an opportunity to productively leverage their intelligence and work ethic, and your hypothetical person's answer is "but I don't wanna".

I'm of the opinion (and have been for far longer than it's been so en vogue) that society is rich enough that we should be providing a robust resource floor like a UBI: having the resources to live with dignity shouldn't be contingent on one's economic productivity. But I scratch my head over claims like this that we should be contorting the economy to provide not just a resource floor, not just make-work, but _stimulating_ make-work in whatever field they desire, ignoring any question of whether the work provides value to society.

Note that I'm not suggesting that the market is a perfect oracle for determining value to society. But govt action in these cases boils down to a principled expansion of the set of fields we consider to provide value to society, which has the effect of eg allowing people to apply their intelligence and work ethic to eg the arts. This is orthogonal to your general claim that we should be providing this path for whatever field people want.
I'd guess that somewhere near 100% get revised and resubmitted (Say, 90%+ ?).

Developing apps is a big investment in time (if nothing else). It's hard to imagine you could get to the point of having any kind of reasonable app to submit without overcoming a few roadblocks to get that far, so what's one more?

I suppose I don't have a good feel for the proportion of shovelware being submitted, where apps submitted is very low effort, and a "developer" would be fine with walking away from it. If there's a lot that would skew the numbers.

I think America was perfectly happy with China's ascent as long as outcome appeared to be a country with generally compatible values. Instead, we see a maturing country with values starkly different from America. Now that this is evident, and China's path certain, American policy is adjusting accordingly.
Who is the intended audience, politicians?
FTA: "84% of apps are free, and developers pay nothing to Apple."

Developers aren't "paying nothing" to develop on IOS. Apple has factored in that the average free app costs them $99 per year in hosting costs.

I am certain 98% of that $99 goes to compensate for the top 10 free paid app's costs to Apple.
This sure does contrast with all the early talking down about pilots in the developing world. People were so quick to blame them instead of looking to the people responsible for selling the planes.
UBI without quality public services is a neoliberal’s paradise
Wow, it's almost as if Muslim women have a variety of opinions on the subject.
Is that $99 fee actually a significant barrier to entry? Is $8.25 per month more expensive than self hosting a CDN to deliver downloads to potentially thousands of people per month? $99 is a bargain if you look at what you actually get. Presumably you are shipping apps to make money. $8.25 per month to handle all of your distribution seems very cheap.

Looking at your id is not the same thing as scanning and storing it. They clearly don't have a legitimate use for that data just a pretext. Having spent time in bars I definitely don't want bartenders and bar owners to know where I live.
Looks helpful. Interested to see how the product features stack up compared to Google Colab.
But in retail I can choose a different store. For Apple, there is exactly one store.
> Why do they do that instead of abstaining?

Suppose index funds collectively own 80% of the shares. If they don't vote or do something that causes their vote to equal the other shareholders, someone else can buy 10% of the shares and effectively have majority voting power, or even fewer than that since most likely some of the other non-index fund owners wouldn't vote either.

The problem is that you need somebody who is paying attention to be in control of the company. Putting that on management is problematic because they obviously have different interest than owners, e.g. on matters of executive compensation or whether to return profits to shareholders instead of using them to build a personal empire/reputation or funneling money to cronies through mergers and acquisitions.
Even your corporate internal wiki is going to have newer and older articles. Reindexing is a thing.
Ha. It's so hard to find Ruby developers. But I will grant that when you do find one, they are usually pretty good developers.
That's fine for you, but not for everyone. Would you really feel comfortable if this database leaked, a la Ashley Madison, and you knew people could search your name on some PasteBin and see all the bars you've been to?

Gay bars, biker bars, strip clubs, bars hosting political rallies, bars hosting events mocking religion. Bars where convicted felons are present, bars where alleged gang members are present, bars where prostitutes are present, bars known for drug use, bars known for cheap liquor and heavy drinking.

The "market" invented the student loan business - as a vector for short-term profit created by moving wealth from one segment of the population to another while adding nothing of real value.

What are the odds the "loan market" will blow up and need a public bail-out, which will be turn out to be vastly more expensive for tax payers than the free fee and maintenance grants provided by other countries?
But people are also changed by their environment, this is not a one way street. I expect immigrants to the US to gradually lose the viewpoints of their original countries and to take on the viewpoints of their adapted home. Especially the children that are born there.

Also I expect that moving from a poorer/less-educated country to a richer/more-educated country will also effect people's values and beliefs.

While this is interesting, there is a couple of existing alternatives. Most notable would probably be JupyterHub, which brings Jupyter notebooks (or JupyterLab) to groups of users. The collaboration there is not realtime and there is no conflict resolution (last write wins), but you can share resources and files with your colleagues. Deploying it is also not super hard.
>if anything it might be faster in C89.

You're underestimating the role played by good abstractions in developer productivity.
In fairness to Google, it's not absurd in principle. Mozilla has dealt with this problem for years: when an extension slows the browser down, the user is more likely to blame the browser than the extension. But in this specific case of ad-blocking extensions, I have a hard time taking Google's justification seriously. Ad blockers speed up the browsing experience far more than whatever negligible processing time the filter process takes.
I found "Search User Interfaces" by Marti Hearst very informative. It's available online for free: https://searchuserinterfaces.com/
Mostly interested in commenting on your last paragraph. But I think your first point of Django being more intuitive is probably due to your (I'm assuming here) background of growing with Django through time. As someone who has developed in both, I find that Django is basically RoR version (n-1). People claim that Django is too complex for them over Flask. I say it just takes time to learn all the features.

Anyway, as for the academic/scientific thing. I couldn't agree more. I feel like they are just perpetuating something silly. I can guarantee you that no one in academia is using Django for research. Probably some weird transitive logic like science => numpy/pandas => python => django.

But I think this stems from the target audience of the article:

"""
The only person who won’t find much use for this guide would be a high-level master Ruby on Rails developer. If you’re not on that level yet, then you’ll definitely be able to learn something!
"""

That is, if it's useful for everyone, it's useful for no one. The whole comparison table is unsubstantial. As interpreted languages, they are going to be roughly the same performance especially on a single thread. If anything, Ruby might be better on multi threaded due to the GIL but then this is contradicted in the table where it claims that Django is more scalable which I think is more of a comment as to how project architecture is laid out in Django with everything supposed to be a separate app.
I had drivers who were clueless about using a navigator, couldn't find my location on the map, drove crazily or made comments about

In scientific terms (the only terms that matter) identify what makes food “wholesome” and quantify the health effects. For example, if I stop eating preservatives, how much longer can I expect to live, in years?
Ideally, what you say makes sense, but at some point you're just going to have to place your trust in someone, or something. Realistically, a vendor won't be able to satisfy every single curiosity. Someone else might ask how do we know the data is actually stored where they claim its stored. How do we know if such and such employee even works there. How do we know the OS that their developers use isn't updated and/or compromised, What if they get a new employee who is incompetent and doesn't follow the established protocols, etc, etc. You can only go down one level of abstraction here. Otherwise you'll probably be writing a treatise on belief, knowledge and justified true-beliefs.
Yes, the idea was to keep the display off. I didn’t think about the graphics card.

Probably?

The main benefit to me for runnign my own email is owning my own data/domain, and not having to allow third parties (aka google) full access to all my emails.
You can choose android. Or use the browser. If you want to sell in the Apple store, to Apple customers, you play by Apple’s rules. Same for Walmart or Amazon. The house always has the upper hand.

If you don’t want to sell to Apple customers, you can sell direct.

There is really nothing unique about this. Anyone who has a business in retail is familiar with this problem.

Want to sell on Amazon to Amazon customers? 8-20%. Want to sell in Walmart to Walmart customers? 12-17%.

I wish it weren’t so, I really do. I’d be 15% richer overnight (probably more, as I’d be more cost competitive). If we decide that these sort of platform fees are illegal that would actually be HUGE and redistribute massive amounts of wealth from gatekeepers to smaller businesses.
Yes. The fact that I still cannot listen to Spotify directly from my Apple Watch is so frustrating. I don't want to give in and switch to Apple Music, but it gets more tempting every day.

Do Swiss court orders go by another name?

I mean, they specifically use the word 'request'. Request by the definition, as opposed to an order, is voluntary.

I will add that I find it funny, whenever such topics come up, that people who love authority and agree with surveillance will literally change the wording to fit their desired narrative. I see a lot of people in this thread talking about 'orders' when that word was never used originally and would remove the ambiguity that allows the argument that proton does real time voluntary surveillance.
I think the purpose is to drum up FUD for the MIC. If China were really this Big, Bad Threat, we'd cease all trade with them. Nations don't trade with their enemies.

> Widening the net so wide so that any social difficulties is considered autism

That's an oversimplification of the situation, both the autism spectrum (including the now-reclassified Aspergers), and the entire rest of the DSM. Some of those mental disorders also result in social difficulties.

I'm sure you would like more help for only "deserving", specific children like yours, but increased access means more schools that are able to handle IEPs, more teachers able to cope with special needs children, more understanding by all that yelling at a non-verbal stimming child is counterproductive, It means more attention paid by society, more research into the problem, resulting in figuring out the causes of autism.

It really is a spectrum, and limiting help and research to only individuals to non-verbal, body-rocking, non-stop stimming makes it very hard for research to progress - those individuals are very difficult to communicate with! Someone who's limits of communication is PEC cards, is not able to give any useful sort of description of how a particular medication is affecting them.

We are starting to recognize that it is, as least partially, an anxiety disorder, of which we already have a number of doctor prescribed medications, with anecdotal successful treatment for autism.

(I proffer no opinion on Autism Speaks here.)

What are the marginal benefits (and costs) of running a Helm over ProtonMail service? I can see none.

The justified concerns the security community has with ProtonMail is: Crypto in the browser is bad (mitigable with Qubes), and How do I know PM isn't serving me a backdoored JS.

IIRC, Helm has auto updated binaries so backdoor-free code isn't a delta. The best I can come up with is: server+CPU observation/isolation is stronger on local hardware relative to PM at the cost of network observation. Hypothetical: "Ok a Spectre-style attack is out, spam emails and let's do some timing-correlation traffic analysis"

I dont think your analogy holds up. To farm, you can buy any decent tractor. You can install your own tires, have the freedom to repair how you see fit etc.

A better analogy is developing Apple Apps is like trying to farm where BigCo forces you to buy their expensive tractors with no option to use anything else.

Or to use your mechanic example, imagine BMWs can only be worked if you use their proprietary tools that nobody can make.

Using the Lightning Web Components without the Salesforce back-end is a compelling idea. The design system is well tuned for standard business requirements (rich data-tables, modals, forms, etc.). If there's a good story around using those UI components without having to use the Salesforce back-end this could have value. The Salesforce back-end is a scary entity-attribute-value system coupled to an Oracle database on top of a layer-cake of legacy multi-tenant architecture constraints and years of Java/C code.
