Apple's latest update cripples location-based marketing
Interesting timeline. Whilst I love how it’s broken down, it just looks so much harder than just making a product and focusing on that. At least you don’t have to raise your price as often and not worry about not having enough contracts.
Not only that but Domino's "look forward to presenting our case at the trial court."

Rather than working with community groups to help each other find a workable solution.
I was employed once at an insurance brokerage that had to automate insurance quotes from carriers that did not provide any sort of API. So we used a type of page automation with a headless browser, and manually wrote the code to automate entering data into each textbox and clicking each button in sequence, adding wait times as needed for the next page to load.

Would recommend avoiding this at all costs.

yep, eniac and univac were the the first publicly known computers. it became known later that turing’s work predated eniac.
That was covered in the podcast. Their conclusion however was that since England and San Francisco both used the same methodology, they're probably wrong in the same direction and by roughly the same amount.

So while you cannot conclusively say that SF has more rough sleepers than all of England (not Britain) it's not unreasonable to believe so, and either way the actual numbers are probably very close.
You may be right. But I looked at the recent gnu thing ("joint statement") and gnu software is guix (OS distribution), guile (programming language), social (vapourware afaict), mpc (library), hurd (os kernel), libc (library)... it goes on like that. Most of those are targeted purely at developers. An OS distribution might be for others, but Guix' homepage describes it as having "declarative system configuration for transparent and reproducible operating systems" that "provides Guile Scheme APIs". My neighbours would turn away in an instant.

So gnu too is increasingly becoming something for developers, unless the signatories there are seriously unrepresentative.
I’d guess not necessarily.

Writing a command for a cli tool is probably reasonably accessible to blind people.

But if I think of a typical workflow with unix tools (less, grep, awk, sed, sort, cut, etc), I feel like it involves a lot of glancing at the shape of a big page of results and deciding what to do. I wonder if this is harder/impossible for blind people? Maybe one just gets better at a different workflow involving eg lots of head, tail, grep -o, and less less.

I also would guess that tab-completion isn’t super accessible but maybe I’m completely wrong.

Well, was. They're pushing pretty hard on this evergreen "windows-as-a-service" thing.
I could understand making that an option though, as presumably the distances on signs will be in km. But as usual with this sort of thing, it's developers assuming they know best rather than suggesting and asking.
I managed to find a colleague with a newer iPhone, with ZA in the model, and Hong Kong as Region. The flag appears when language is set to English but disappears when language is set to Traditional Chinese (Cantonese).

> It takes a civilisation to build an iPhone.

The point here is that we don't need to build an iPhone, we only need a radio. Building a 8080 is much simpler, the USSR did it, the East Germany did it, China did it, all around the same time without too much difficulty. It's certainly would be much more difficult if the current civilization collapsed, but I think the author doesn't anticipate a total collapse, just a breakdown of the current economic system, thus it should be doable.

> Similarly the process for making a nuclear bomb can be written in a short paper, but few countries have successfully replicated it.

My understanding is that the physics of achieving the nuclear explosion itself is relatively straightforward. The real difficulties are to produce the weapon-grade materials needed, and to transform the explosion to an useful weapon, all under external sanctions, and even sabotage.

Taiwan had a nuclear weapon project in 1970s, significant progress was made in the beginning, if the U.S. didn't discover it and dismantle everything, it would be interesting to see how it turned out to be.

The lesson is not to trust any US or foreign based cloud service .. they can arbitrarily suspend your data and service at whims of politicians.

Host it yourself or with a local service provider in your own country.
VAT means Value Added Tax. @Forbo's was talking about a transaction tax.

The difference can be explained by this completely made up example:
A steel mill buys iron ore for $1 a kilo and makes steel of that.
A nail factory buys steel for $1.50 a kilo and makes nails of that.
A distributor buys those nails wholesale for $2 a kilo.
A hardware store buys those nails from the wholesaler for $2.50 a kilo.
A contractor buys those nails from the hardware store for $3 a kilo.
The subcontractor bills $3.50 a kilo for those nails.
The general contractor bills you $4 a kilo for those nails.

With VAT you/the general contractor/all businesses involved pay taxes on a total of $4.

With a transaction tax, it would be paid on $17.50.

But the above is a simplified example. In the real world there are probably a lot more businesses (each specializing in their own niche) and therefor transaction involved in getting that nail into your wall.
uBlock Origin blocks them. I only see them when I'm using Chrome on mobile.
Are you arguing that, or offering it as a potential argument? § That's not what mrep claimed made it hard to read. They said it was hard to trace lines. § And there are other ways of adding pauses, on top of those pauses not being very necessary in the first place. I could do without them just fine. § More generally, as long as a big paragraph is focused on one topic, and nobody is doing a point-by-point reply, it works just fine.

No, RN isn't bundled with any browser runtime. You're possibly thinking of Apache Cordova (which leverages the device's browser runtime for rendering UI).

RN is Javascript so it will execute on the device's JS runtime, which I guess is connected to the browser in some way, but RN doesn't use the browser for UI. The rendering is true native UI.

The way React does this is by decoupling the core library from UI rendering. The core React library contains no UI rendering code, it just handles UI lifecycles, internal state, events, etc. for logical UI components as object instances. You then plug that into a renderer library (most commonly the "ReactDOM" lib for web browser rendering).
> I was under the impression there's a process involved with Apple to approve these things

You're under the wrong impression.

Think of it more like Google's certificate-transparency log.

Apple will have a log of all applications distributed outside of the app-store and macs can consult this transparency log during installation and warn the user if (a) Apple has revoked the certificate because Malware has been detected or (b) the developer who made the software being installed doesn't have an email address. Users will still be free to ignore the error messages (just as they are on Linux and Windows).

> As a developer of some cross platform applications who happily doesn't know anything about Xcode (and plans to keep things that way) I'm upset by this.

I generally advise people to not get upset about things they don't understand and don't care to understand. It feels strange to me that I feel have to give that advice, but what else can I do? People might read your (well-written) comment and develop the same fears and hysteria you have about something they don't understand either, but care to, and that makes the world a worse place.
Far-right isn't a synonym for bad, aggressive, abrasive (although in practice many people would argue that the two are linked, and that could explain why some people tend to recoil from the term even though they hold similar positions, such as all the people beginning their sentence with I'm pretty left-wing, but... but I digress). Just because a text is moderate and gentle in tone doesn't mean it's not heavily slanted one way or another in content. In this case it's very easy to see the right-wing slant through the cracks of the 'gentle' tone.
Ask HN: How to deal with overseas clients who do not clear payments?
I worked for someone from New York, helped him with web app development, he confirmed he was happy and promised to clear payments in 15 days, but he never cleared it. For 2 months he was polite enough and replied to me that he would pay as soon as he would receive money, but later on he stopped replying to my messages and never responded to me. There was no way he would receive my call, I added a negative review about him on his google business and then he finally responded me on skype and threatened me that he would ruin my business by negative reviews. From there on I am receiving negative reviews on my Google Buisness, How can I handle this situation?

It seems to me that if this ruling is enforced and becomes accepted we may see a welcome move towards 'accessibility first' design - which would be an interesting paradigm shift for many devs.
Good question, but sadly I don’t know. I know there a way to optimise your clips for editing to keep performance up. A bit like Proxies but I think simpler. Not sure if that applies to high FPS footage.

Since it doesn’t cost anything, it might be worth giving it a test.
why can't Producer/Scribed write directly to LogDevice storage. Any reasons for routing through WriteService.
The UK has the Equality Act 2010 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents) particularly parts 2 and 3. There is a private right of enforcement through the county court.

I have a friend who is a wheelchair user who has been trying to get ramp access to the shops where she lives. First avenue is a friendly chat, second is a letter before action, third is court. She would much rather it was enforced by the government like most other regulations - in addition to being draining to go to court to argue for her rights, it leaves those who ignored their obvious legal responsibilities, and the friendly chat, and the letter, personally furious that she took them to court. So even victory is fairly Pyrrhic.
The "Life of Norman" subreddit is another interesting one[1]. It's just stores about Norman, a very normal and very boring middle-aged man with a cat, also called Norman. Unfortunately the top posts are all from three years ago, but the best posts are strangely interesting, and often a little sad. I think it must be because the one thing people don't usually write about is completely normal uneventful life.

This reads as one of those "how to draw an owl" memes, step 1. draw a circle; step 2. draw the rest of the owl.

I've been trying to succeed at consultancy for the last couple years, and here's my list of (realistic) steps

1) Reach out to your network and see if anyone is looking for help that you can provide

2) Realise that clients don't care about your background, or skillset, they're 100% focused on what results you can provide and how fast

3) The usual advice from the lucky ones is to always raise your rates, "raise your rates after every contract!" etc. but a more realistic approach is to lower your rates when you have to. I wish I could get steady work at my usual rates, but sometimes I will take on side gigs at a lower hourly rate just because they help keep you afloat

4) Despite what people may say, consultants that can speak both tech and business are very common. They might not be very good coders, or very good biz people, but they are common. Differentiating yourself comes down to personal network rather than any substantial difference in output.

5) Specialists are paid a lot better than generalists. If you're an awesome cloud migration expert (like OP) focusing on that will likely bring more clients and revenue than trying to branch out to other areas

Most other advice is good, but it's important to notice that it won't apply to most folks when they're starting out. I still love the freedom that working for myself affords me, and that it's allowed me to do things that I would have otherwise not been able to, but it's a lot of work, and a good chunk of my time is spent essentially working for free (writing proposals, chasing up payment, etc)

I have the same problem with Alexa. I was trying to get it to play Keith Jarrrets "Köln Concert" album. I doesn't matter how I pronounce "Köln" I cannot get it to understand what I want. I ended up having to create a playlist for it with a different name.
Interesting. So it's still mixed and has disadvantages of a 64 bit program (no 32 bit plugin support 1) and of a 32 bit program (no compatibility with Catalina) while pretending to be a 64 bit program. Sounds great!

Out of curiosity how would your day to day work look like? There's an interesting article that explains why "freelance developers" (or devops or whatever) are not actual consultants because they are paid to do something, not to know something (https://daedtech.com/software-consulting/). I would also like to reach a level where I get paid to share my expertise, given a specific context, without actually building the solution but, like somebody already said, seems way harder than building and marketing your own products until something sticks.
Yes we should aim for a carbon tax, it's the most effective way. But sometimes the political momentum is not there, and politicians compromise for less optimal taxes. It's still progress imho.
Haven't thought about it tbh. But that is an interesting idea!

Are there any reasonable go libraries for FUSE that you can recommend?
A curious thing is that lots of accessibility improvements tend to be good for all users. Getting rid of crazy Javascript things which screen readers can’t understand makes it less likely that your website is buggy and fails for some regular users. Using simpler HTML (ie with actual links and forms) decreases the chance that it fails in some of the weird browser setups that some people will have (eg old phones or computers or weird devices like smart TVs or kindles).

Making your app/site simpler and easy to use for the large number of people with very low computer skills can often improve things for those people with good computer skills too.

Similarly if your site/app is made accessible to the surprisingly large proportion of the population with low literacy then it will also work better and faster for those people with good literacy too.

>Why do we expect that people should live in house or have a home?

Because we aren't cavemen anymore.

And a tent is a home, just a shabby, crappy, small one.

>Why we wouldn't have camping spots in cities with infrastructure that supports living outside?

Because people also need to eat and poop and shower somewhere, and be protected from the elements, and once you incorporate all that, you get a hostel/shelter.

I'll take your comment as an opportunity to say this:

Yes, we absolutely should have more infrastructure for the homeless.

Let's have public baths, public toilets, storage facilities, communal kitchens perhaps. Internet access (libraries do that, but that shouldn't be the only place).

Travelers would appreciate many of these as well.

Here is something nobody mentions that seems to work. Do assessments. You charge $2k for a 2-3 days assessment. If you have relevant experience this is a very cheap and appealing offer to a company looking to improve xyz practice. During the assessment talk to the people making decisions, try to go from one assessment to a monthly freelancing gig. Personally I don’t like charging hourly or daily. Please note this is my personal experience and my personal experience in consulting is still very new. I also want to do more stuff on cloud, thousands of companies are moving to the cloud so it could be a good opportunity.
Just pondering whether there is a system that converts line graphs into series of rising and falling tones, while a voice reads out the x axis markers.

If you have multiple series, you could have different sounds running in parallel - sin wave, square wave or perhaps musical instruments each denoting a different series.

That might actually be usable if there was an automated system for creating them on the fly.

There's also this kind of approach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9lquok4Pdk
I did accessibility dev in the mid 2000s and hand-crafted accessible html (or stripped down templates) was - at that point - easily the number 1 search result for a relevant query.

> Coq used to support a "declarative proof mode" that's a lot more readable and maintainable than the usual proof scripts.

I liked playing around with that, but it was quite restricted in what it really do. And it lacked the automation that Isabelle/HOL has. In Isabelle you can really focus on the general structure of the proof and have it fill in the intermediate steps by automated theorem proving. In Coq's mathematical proof language I remember having to write a lot more of hand-holding code.

Isabelle's Isar proof language is not quite as readable as textbook proofs, but it does make proofs somewhat "informally" readable. There are some nice examples in https://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/HOL-Isar_Examples/doc... (though the very first one is not the nicest, I think).

Edit: Forgot to mention, the above document is kind of what the OP asked for, you can generate this kind of LaTeX document from a fully formally checked Isabelle/HOL development.
