I must be misunderstanding this then... if all I need to do is sign the binary with my GPG key (or comparable) then I don't see what all the fuss is about either!

I was under the impression there's a process involved with Apple to approve these things. From: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/notarizin...

"Give users even more confidence in your software by submitting it to Apple for notarization"

So it seems the "key" difference here is that while most Linux package managers seem to use GPG to sign based on the author's verification, here Apple is the trusted source, forcing application authors to bow down and submit to review (even if it's automated).

Whereas for all GPG packages I just sign the same way, here my process is different, and Apple is forcing my hand.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want users getting viruses or generally bad software any more than the next guy, but it seems out of place to rely on some specific Apple protocol to do this. Though, it doesn't surprise me at all that Apple wouldn't try to "play nice" in this space.

Edit: further reading finds the following.

"Notarization requires Xcode 10 or later. Building a new app for notarization requires macOS 10.13.6 or later. Stapling an app requires macOS 10.12 or later."

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 wonder what arguments you may see here and what the possible deconstruction may look like.

I use Affinity Designer all the time. I bought Affinity Photo but when I actually had to do real work a small nit made me go buy a Photoshop license. That nit was I had several hundreds PNG files I needed to edit. In PS I double click the PNG in the Finder/Explorer, the file opens in Photoshop, I edit, if I added layers I Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-E to collapse them then Cmd/Ctrl-S to save and it saves back to the .PNG. Affinity can only save to non Affinity file formats via "Export" which is brings up one or more serial dialogs and save as file selector. That minor difference was enough to make it worth it for me to pay Adobe $120 to save me from hours of tedium. I mean $120 is not "that" much money and so it was worth it for me to save me even a little frustration. Others have complained about this workflow issue to Affinity but I think so far it's fallen on deaf ears.

I know it's a minor nit and few people will probably care but it's annoying enough for people used to being able to more quickly edit screenshot .PNGs and or .JPGs that I hope Affinity listens eventually. Because of that though I've never gotten used to Affinity Photo where as I'm pretty happy with Affinity Designer

Of course no one is using paid software in countries like this. Why would they? I saw big render farms in Russia with multimillion dollar turnover that use Adobe products downloaded from torrents. I had a client who had massive rendering needs, and AfterEffects license prohibits renders for other people so i asked them how do they go about licensing, they basically didn't understand my question. After some emails exchange, it boiled down to 'maybe that is a concern for Americans, but we are a Russian company and we're in Russia, so you can be rest assured you won't have a problem if you just offload your client's workload to us'. They were most probably right, while i didn't dare to try. None of their previous clients even asked about that. And you are speaking of Venezuela.

People outside of the Western states don't buy software. They don't need to. And their culture is strongly against it (someone who buys something he could safely steal instead, is seen as a loser in Russia).

Only one platform matters - Apple’s directory. Most other independent podcast players use Apple’s free API to their directory.

And, in this case, Apple is on the side of the angels. They don’t rehost your audio or your RSS feed. They simply index it for search.

Also, their is a standard for importing and exporting subscriptions - OPML. Overcast uses it.

I like to say that smart contracts are basically the opposite of legal contracts.

Legal contracts are not self-executing but carry the weight of the legal system.

Smart contracts are self executing but if a mistake is made or the contract is buggy it is essentially moot legally.
I could respect the signatories of the joint statement if thy sent it to RMS; Like this, what are they hoping to achieve? Ponder it for a second. They're calling for the lynch mob, they're disapointed that the lynch mob seems to have "stopped too soon". These are not people who honestly want to quit over principles... if they were, they'd send this in private to RMS. These are people who want RMS out for their own personal agenda (which they may even believe is the "common good" agenda... but, that's presumptuous on their part).

It's not native, it emulates native UI. What happens when they can't keep up with the updates for all the platforms they plan to support.

Also, I don't think they support platforms other than iOS/Android, desktop and web is planned, but that doesn't help me now.

I do agree with your premise though, but I use React Native for a true native UI, plus it can target Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, and Web.
Well, that's not important my main point anyway (see my other comment) and it wasn't clear in the un-edited post.

A friend and former flatmate of mine split his childhood between the US and Mexico; he has native accents in both languages.

It's wild to hear him phoning home, rattling off Spanish words faster than I can discern them, and then use a local pronunciation (and American accent) for Spanish-origin names like Divisadero or Arguello.
This is quite a reach: I'm sure the amount of money Apple could possibly make with something like this is marginal.
Itinerary for a Road Trip on the World's Deadliest Motorable Roads
We wrote a free screen reader simulator for this purpose (Chrome plugin):

https://silktide.com/resources/toolbar

It’s not a substitute for real-world testing, but it should help you appreciate the basics without having to learn a full screen reader.

We’re also working on some accessibility games right now (scores challenges for you to complete in a browser with a simulated disability), which sound a lot like what you’re suggesting.
Nice reminder to us non-Americans, that we essentially live in digital colonial era, where our livelihoods can be effed up at one strike of signature.
It’s amazing that we still keep discovering so many new things in our own neighborhood, and as another comment notes, still hard to keep track of things as relatively close as Saturn’s “lost” moons.

This makes it kind of silly whenever we make confident assumptions about how much of X or Y must be out there in the rest of the Universe.

(Not to knock the efforts of people who did accurately predict many facts about faraway phenomena while being stuck on Earth.)
You are thinking of the most trivial of apps. For example I have worked on a web-based image editor that is practically impossible to make accessible to the blind. Not with current screen reader technology.

Another example is Reddit, where a good chunk of their content is just text memes overlaid on images. For compliance, would you force people to describe their images with an alt text before submission?

The better solution would be to do what Facebook does and have builtin tools that will annotate a OCR/description with ML or crowdsourcing. In an ideal world these tools would be available to everyone with no extra work.

Don't settle for making the blind wade through a pile of HTML and call that accessible. It would be a travesty if it became law to use alt tags, because that is so far from the best we can do. Don't lock the world into dead technologies.
It drives me nuts when Google Maps presumes I can think in different units whenever I travel.

The feature engineering is probably where most of the performance comes from so there is likely a lot of code that turns the raw data into features.

Features likely include more than just the single users history, so they need to be updated often enough for the model to do fast predictions. E.g. you want your model to capture if many people are booking from the same area at once because there were results from a sports game etc, but you dont want to run an expensive query for every user of the page.

Definitely not the first thing to worry about in a startup, but better performance at Booking.com's scale is serious $$$.

> So Windows Defender isn't bundled as a part of Windows 10?

It was also bundled as part of Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista on top of being available as a free download for Windows XP (and even 2000 during the beta phase).

The current form, after the Microsoft Security Essentials package was merged in, didn't come about until Windows 8 but Windows Defender as a product dates back to Microsoft's purchase of GIANT Software.

Either way you call it, XP or 8, saying Defender is a Windows 10 thing is like saying Firefox is an Ubuntu 19.04 thing. Sure, Ubuntu 19.04 does bundle Firefox, but so did many versions prior.

It's also worth noting that almost every antimalware product has an option to submit unknown binaries for analysis, and almost every one of those either enables it by default or very strongly suggests that you do so during setup to the point that I'd imagine most installations that aren't managed under corporate policy are submitting samples.
> Most people recognize SP as libertarian in general orientation

While I believe Matt & Trey are generally libertarian-leaning I've never detected the slightest bleed-through of libertarian/neoliberal idealism in the show itself.

I've not really watched the show regularly in years, maybe that's changed. I do know that they initially discussed the libertarianism at a time when it was the hip above-it-all precursor to modern both-sides-do-itism that was regularly adopted without much deep reverence to actual libertarianism.
> For example, would you start the y-axis on a graph of global temperature at –273.15°C (absolute zero)

> This is a lazy statement

Yes it is.

> This is missing what the graph is trying to convey.....It only makes the graph more readable.

The problem is that so many decisions are made trying to tell the right story that eventually the underlying data barely matters at all. If top 400 doesn't work maybe top 100 will, or top 10, or top 1000. If going back to 1950 doesn't work then maybe 1960 or 1940.

If you don't care about things like best practices you can simply choose the shape of the graph you want and go from there. Maybe this time they did it with effective tax rates. It doesn't matter.
Isn’t that basically what KeyDB does?
Sorry for the late reply.

First of all, I don't think pasta is too terrible if it's fitting in your macros. Wheat will have a larger glycemic impact on you though than many other carbohydrate sources (e.g. sweet potatoes, which I consider a super food for humans, alongside eggs).

The most important thing about diet change is to resist making big, dramatic changes. Think in terms of weak signals: figure out what foods would be easy to meal prep for, that you like eating, and would be good combined together in simple ways. By simple I mean very simple, pick two major macros (carbs and protein, or fat and protein). Once you've got that figured out and you've decided how to combine them, then you can add easy low-effort accessories at meal time.

I ended up landing on what I call a "power bowl" dinner meal that I eat every single night (I haven't tired of it yet) consisting of:

Mains:

- Main 1: 150 grams of sweet potato (cubed and baked with some olive oil and salt)

- Main 2: 10oz of a main protein (I rotate between chicken, cod, pork, and burger patties)

Accessories:

- 2 cups of spinach

- optional fried egg

- tomato / onion

- zero carb rosemary dressing (high fat though)

It's extremely easy to meal prep, very easy to weigh and measure, it tastes really good, great mix of macros, the carbohydrates from sweet potatoes have a low glycemic impact (unlike anything made from wheat), and I get a lot of protein. If it gets boring I can add a fried egg, or goat cheese, or change the protein, or add some green chiles, etc. so creating novel flavors is easy and doesn't require significant prep time.

At some point I'm going to start growing my own sweet potatoes and spinach at which point I only need to buy my protein and other add-ons.

I also don't have patience or energy to cook, one of my early-20s favorite meals was white rice with canned meat sauce. I don't eat that anymore but the trick to changing what you eat is to:

- Keep it simple

- Keep it whole (as in "whole food")

- Meal prep the bulk items (you can bake sweet potatoes and chicken/cod/pork in less than an hour on Sunday, then assemble the bowls easily at night)

Making it easy and simple to assemble will help keep you from convincing yourself you're too tired and should just run to Chipotle :-p This is why I like the power bowls because they don't require any special timing, or prep, or techniques, or specialized ingredients (unless you want them).

That's all for dinner. I stay fasted through breakfast and I usually eat 5 eggs with 4 slices of high-quality bacon for lunch. I have lots of nuts, fruits, and paleo granola for snacks.

> ISIS conducted public executions, crucifixions, desecration of cultural sites and enslaved people for a labor force. That's textbook asymmetric warfare/terrorism.

The US has done all of these except crucifixions. Arguably, we've done all of them (except crucifixion) within the last decade. I'm not sure we can claim "not crucifying" as moral high ground when Americans did things like the following (warning: what follows is horrifying):

"He was chained by his neck and dragged out of the county court by observers. He was then paraded through the street, all while being stabbed and beaten, before being held down and castrated. He was then lynched in front of Waco's city hall."

"Over 10,000 spectators, including city officials and police, gathered to watch the attack. There was a celebratory atmosphere among whites at the spectacle murder, and many children attended during their lunch hour. Members of the mob cut off his fingers, and hung him over a bonfire after saturating him with coal oil. He was repeatedly lowered and raised over the fire for about two hours. After the fire was extinguished, his charred torso was dragged through the town and parts of his body were sold as souvenirs. A professional photographer took pictures as the event unfolded, providing rare imagery of a lynching in progress. The pictures were printed and sold as postcards in Waco."[1]

This happened in 1916--most would consider the US to have been a nation for over a century by this point.

Code review, IMO, is specific to an org and how it wants the culture and codebase to mature overtime.

Careless, quick reviews are going to foster an environment where PR authors do not feel adequately supported where as pedantic, nit-picking reviews are going to exhaust.

As for the semantics, it's often about being idiomatic in the language and adhering to good design, i.e. if some requirement changes -- can this change with it?
> Google's recaptcha is actually somehow really good - you just click on the checkbox and somehow it magically understands that you're a human,

Unless it doesn't. Yes, it gives you an audio captcha. No, it's not a good solution, as it's in english only, and a pretty good command of the language is required to solve it, especially now.

If you use TOR for some reason (nosy admin in my case). They always ask you to solve the challenge, but when you click audio, you get a spoken prompt saying "this computer is sending too many automated requests, so audio captchas have been blocked". I don't know who you'd need to sue, though. Either Google for not providing you the audio version, Cloudflare from preventing you access (and outsourcing the verification to Google), or the website itself for getting Cloudflare protection.

It’s definitely a project I’ll be following.
