I think the windows store is kind of just the most user-friendly way to distribute software now. And at the end of the day, that is something that Apple usually strives for.

App Stores serve a lot of the same functionality as package managers, basically

I get that, and the site doesn't imply that it's something new, but I simply found the title of the post to be such.

Fair enough though.

>If it ends up shipping as a replacement for the core OS, with Android running in a virtual machine or on top of a compatibility layer like gVisor, that would just mean that there's a better base to build on than before. All of the work done by the project would still be relevant in a future like that. I'm not so sure that's truly going to happen though.

I see.
Apple still jests a little at Microsoft with the photo at the top of https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204301 (a really chunky old Windows machine next to a nice new iPhone and iPad). Still, a step in the right direction for both parties.
Maybe you should consider switching OS? Apple will always be behind on performance, upgrade paths, compatability and pricing. So if you want a high performance computer that you can upgrade then Apple isn't for you.
I could see someone who gets a lot of use out of a smartphone feeling that normal computers are more limiting.

After all, my computer can't call a rideshare, it can't navigate, it can't call my mom, it can't connect to the Internet outside my home or a coffee shop, it can't take photos and videos, it can't fit in my pocket, it can't pay for things in a store, it can't deposit checks, it can't measure objects in my house, it doesn't know where north, south, east, west, up, or down are, and it can't stay in a useful standby mode all day without draining out the battery, it can't get wet without damaging it, it can't play music for me while I'm outside exercising, it can't scan QR codes, it can't be used as a boarding pass or show ticket, it can't tell my security system when I've left the house...
That is more of a platform limitation from my understanding, sort of like complaining that the x button to close the window is not on the left in this app.

I can totally see a situation where a new entrant comes in at a point where the system stabilizes, and can be quickly profitable, if only slightly, but survive, while Uber and Lyft are contending with extreme pressure of what is essentially soft debt. Do any of Uber or Lyft's investors want those companies to by in a super competitive market where the profits are thin? Maybe that pressure causes them to make wild swings that are much more risky. How rationally will investors approach their investment?
It'll stab you in the throat.

Just wanted to note that wchar_t is not POSIX per se, but comes from the C standard. It also suffers from various problems, see

Tsoris means stress or suffering. A front-page article in a major American newspaper saying that the world's pre-eminent tech incubator was pulling out of the Chinese market due to political pressure would constitute a major loss of face and, yes, cause stress within the CPC leadership.

I didn't say that this would drive a policy change after the fact. Quite the opposite, it would likely result in some kind of drama related to the CPC digging in its heels and attempting to recast the drama in a nationalist context. But, the initial loss of face would still be bad from their perspective.

I do think that YC/PG do in fact have some leverage/deterrence power with regard to being politically pressured by the CPC leadership because of their ability to walk away from the table in a publicly embarrassing manner.

Does that clear things up, and do you agree or disagree?

Exactly. "Functional purists" write code that caters to their aesthetics. It's completely unreadable and a pain in the ass to debug, but it sure looks really nice and clean.

If pure functional programming really is a major benefit, it should show in the number of successful software projects. I don't see it.
Sorry... catching bad actors you say, Buzzfeed?

This feature was MORE THAN LIKELY USED BY BAD ACTORS IN PARTICULAR to do considerable physical harm to innocent people. For example it was possible to plug the following query into Graph Search and GET ACTUAL RESULTS BACK:

"Find all men with a sexual preference for other men within Teheran, Iran"

Now combine the knowledge you could enter that query with the terrible privacy tools and defaults (designed that way for a reason, by the way) on Facebook. If your mind is exploding imagine mine the day I've put things together.

(And you could replace Iran with any other Islamic country too).

And this was more than likely known by all people involved from the get go. That no human rights - or gay rights - organisation with considerable amounts of power EVER (because this tool has been in production for several years) complained to Facebook for releasing a tool which could so much harm to so many people is beyond me.

Would the only future for these products be a mix of human and autonomous fleets? And eventually, purely autonomous?

Not surprised you are downvoted. On one hand HN complains about IP being stolen on the other hand they want all IPs to be free.

I don't have a problem with paying license fees, it is just most of those companies don't agrees on it.

I could only wish we make the standard as free for Software Encode and Decode.

All Hardware Accelerated Encoder and Decode will be $0.5 per unit. And $0.3 for only Encoder Or Decoder. With no Caps.

For Mobile alone that is anywhere between $360M to $600M alone assuming all devices supports it. And if we include PC, Tablet, Console, All other accessories it is up to $1B per year, and for the life time of the Codec easily $10B+ in patents total split across all companies.

The consumer will be paying for it, and we all enjoy better video quality with smaller downloads. Unfortunately most of the sweet spot for newer codec tends to be in 4K or even 8K. I wish they could put a lot more focus on 1080P at 1 / 2Mbps. Where the vast majority of video on Internet could settle on.
I have a feeling they might be outside the US, where Macs are less common.
You didn't really address the GP's point however. How does this process apply to larger organizations? How can it apply across layers of a hierarchy? I don't see how bringing Jobs up helps explain it, he was certainly not the type of business leader known for his equitable disagreement process.

Don't get me wrong, I'm intrigued by the concept of formally surfacing disagreement. But the example in the blog post is trivially contrived. What happens when the disagreement is between two different but balanced work paths each with high risk and more unknowns than knowns? How does this disagreement process jive with the scientific process, where competing hypotheses are explored by experiment?

Which publishers is the control taken away? You're claiming news outlets have to be super afraid of punishment if they don't do AMP. That's empirically false, many news outlets dominate (or share the dominance) markets without doing any AMP. I don't necessarily like AMP, but claiming it's the (paraphrased) "worst thing after the black plague" is also dishonest, working on alternative solutions would be the right thing to do here.

The law is concerned with both actions and their intent. While placing the scooters on the street may not be illegal, the entire reason for doing so is for people to ride them. Its pretty clear intent to incite people to break the law for profit.

That very much makes the company involved with what happens when people do just that.
After going through my dad's computer while trying to fix it for him, I realized that there are a lot of things I really don't want to know about my parents. Everything I know about them is enough. Digging through their texts, their browsing history, their emails, etc is not fair in my opinion, and better left unread.
Your 3-series buyer who spent $3k on a 2013 Mac Pro to occasionally open Lightroom is a market segment that will gladly spend $6k on a 2019 to do the same.

This is the market segment that buys a RED camera for home movies and then sells it on eBay because it turned out to be too complicated to use. But a Hollywood-caliber Mac is no more complicated to use than a consumer Mac, and will likely do well in this market.

The people upset over the 2019 Mac Pro are the ones who just wanted a modular Mac like the PowerMacs of 15-20 years ago. The image-conscious buyers likely aren’t nearly as price-sensitive as you imagine them to be.
Public keys are essentially trackable metadata if they're shared. The proposed hash of time + public key would be guessable if you had access to a particular public key. Apple certainly could get the public key.

They wouldn't know specifically what data was in the encrypted message, but with enough attributes (IP, time, Apple ID, etc) they could obviously gather a high-confidence amount of tracking data still.
I've been using this app for several months without knowing what the "Go" feature was for. I guess I could turn it on and maybe help out other riders. Although if my phone is set to only get tower-level accuracy I don't know how much it would help.

Anyway great app and I look forward to the improvement when this rolls out to my city.
Protestantism shares a lot of its theology with Islam. It makes sense, because it is a reformation movement to restore Christianity to its Abrahamic roots. It includes things like abolishing the concepts of popes, priests, saints, or any holy individual.

It also includes forbidding idolatry. Images and sculptures and works of art should not be prayed to or venerated.

So the rule that you cannot depict Mohammed, God, or any other prophets is not to prevent disrespect. It's to prevent worship of images.
>That's not how innovation or success is measured in any way whatsoever. We had alchemy for centuries before Science, it was not right, nor was it good enough because it "just worked"

well the problem with alchemy was that it didn't work. The desktop does indeed work in the sense that people who are productive and do heavy work do utilise traditional desktop paradigms. At least I've never seen a highly productive developer who is into tons of touchscreens and arcane finger gestures.

I don't really see how the performance of well configured keyboard commands is supposed to be beaten by voice or touch input, because physically the former is just significantly faster, and importantly, composable.

The above version might be more efficient (less allocations, less GC), which certainly matters for some applications.

I actually also find it more readable, but that’s a personal preference
Yes they also have some writers.
The problem with the base model of the new Mac Pro is that all the non-upgradable components are extremely high end, but the CPU, RAM, GPU and SSD capacity are low-end. You can max out a consumer-grade desktop platform and end up with a much better system for a third of the price. But that system would have no headroom for further upgrades. The Mac Pro gives you six DRAM channels instead of two, several times the IO bandwidth, supports several times as many CPU cores, and a power supply that delivers more than twice the wattage any consumer desktop ever needs. But the base model doesn't use any of that functionality.

Apple can't do anything about the underlying technological reality that there's a big difference between current consumer desktop platforms and current workstation/server platforms. They're also being hurt by the fact that the base configuration Mac Pro is quite different from the typical configuration Mac Pro. For consumer PCs, it's common for the base model to be one of the most popular configurations, but for the Mac Pro the base model is a niche product that relatively few customers will opt for. This defies the expectations of people who approach the Mac Pro as if it is a consumer product.
I have a FingerWorks iGesturePad on my desk right now, a 17-year-old device which is still to this day the most advanced multi-touch consumer product. My experience with this product teaches me that multi-finger input is not at all unnatural as you call it. You do it all day every day with everything in your life EXCEPT your computer; you would get accustomed to it in minutes or hours.
This really sux - that the fix is "Move to DDR with TRR enabled - which means for many people: Buy a new computer. Or new RAM. Or new RAM, motherboard, CPU, etc - ie - a new computer; ie - spend a lot of money".

But there really isn't any other good options.

This iCloud app doesn't look new, unless I'm missing something, it just appears to be available in the Microsoft Store now?
Apple clearly cares about their costs. My point is labor cost is vastly less important than for example long term supply chain disruptions. Moving to another country where it costs even 10c more per phone is not going to happen.

However, if they need to chose between higher costs and being unable to manufacture any phones for 8 months they would be willing to eat much higher costs.

Is this part of a bigger strategy? Will there also be an Andriod version of Photos?

I can't find anything and am not holding my breath, but it would be so compelling for many scenarios. As an apple fanboy I frequently am using third-party apps to share photos with relatives and colleagues who aren't on the platform.

By attributes. Which one did you want? The latest? The one created by app X? The one you printed yesterday?

The fact is, you can do these queries if you allow flexible attributes. With a fixed file system (almost all file systems) you cant ask. In practice, you've already overwritten the one you want, or one app conflicted with another, or you just can't do you want (have two versions of an app installed at the same time).

Given that they're building on Microsoft's syncing APIs, I expect this will also be much more reliable than iCloud on MacOS!

So, it comes down to intent. But we don't actually know what the intent of the brake line cutter was.

His intent was simply to reinvigorate his way of making a living in order to put food on the table.

Testing Complex Systems with Maintainable Test Suites – Podcast
Steve's 2x2 matrix with portable vs desktop on one axis, and consumer vs pro(sumer) on the other axis, was announced and filled around 1998.

It was populated initially with:
iBook, iMac;
PowerBook, Power Mac.

Later:
MacBook (Air), iMac;
MacBook Pro, Mac Pro.

The "pro" version had always been accessible to consumers. It was a bit more expensive, but if you wanted more power and expandability than the consumer model you could get the low-end "pro" model easily. And, yeah, the "real" professionals could spec it out and get a high-end pro machine.

Now, this latest Mac Pro is a machine that's out of range of your average prosumer and even pro, even in the lowest configuration. That's what upsets people.

> This viewpoint is the side-effect of Apple's lifestyle brand marketing.

No, the anger is born from an expectation (namely, that prosumers can get the low-end pro model) that well predates the whole life-style brand marketing (iPod 2001, iPhone 2007).
Thanks for the link. For some reason my RSS reader ( likely in the Google Reader transition ) lost Kostya's feed. He used to be the one implementing all these obscure video codec.

And the article summarise nicely everything I loathe about AV1 and Baidu. I could only wish VVC or EVC fix what problem we have, or if not let hope they do better with AV2.

P.S - I am still not convinced Apple is fully on board with Open Media Alliance.

Except, the results are opaque. I can't operate on the data without using their tools, which might not be what I want.

Imagine if the OS let you browse all the app data, see all the relations (that you were authorized to see), and write tools to operate over it. That would be a most Open system, compared to everything we have which is essentially walled off to us.

I like that version A

1) is more readable (fight me)

2) doesn't rely on internal optimizations for string concatenation, in order to be as efficient

3) doesn't create extra garbage (linked lists)

In fact, the only thing I would change is make it a for loop instead.

Yeah, it seems that whenever an exploit "doesn't seem practical for actual use" it is just one more exploit-in-the-chain away from being operationalized.

So many systems have unspecified, undocumented and undertested behaviors that have not been exploited only because no one has ever tried.
I think its just like 'reference' or 'studio' headphones. Ideally you wouldn't want the output device to 'colour' the reproduction of the underlying media, but in practice you'll see a variety of studios where products across all price points were used. Of course if you netflix the movie on an uncalibrated monitor that has poor color accuracy, then its all a wash anyway.
