I did not work for Apple but this article describes exactly what I was thinking.

Apple has very waterfall cycle. Everything is planned year after year to be released for the September event. When the deadline approach teams realized that are behind and they need to overwork. And when people get tired and under pressure, they usually introduce even more bugs.

The article also nails the solution: a more Agile workflow. But it ain't gonna happen: "Apple could address this scheduling problem by not packing so many features into each release, but that’s just not the company culture."

Yah... Bad weather isn't an argument though.

I'm faster with my bike no matter the weather. Especially when it's snowing outside. Gosh, snow slows cars down massively. I love this time of the year: no one tends to speed any more since drivers are afraid of crashing their cars.
You joke, but I’ve kicked around the idea of bike tunnels with collimated air blowing down them at 20mph to make riding at that speed more comfortable, and make loitering uncomfortable. Microautonomy might make that feasible.
I live and travel around Europe. Seeing parents riding with their very young kids is not too common a sight and every major city I've been to has traffic problems, because a whole lot of people do want to use cars and do value their convenience.

Whether that's a bad thing or not is another discussion but don't try to present Europeans as some sort of superhumans.
Mainstream economic opinion is not particularly concerned by the fact that our money is slowly losing its purchasing power.

There's a general consensus that a small amount of inflation is useful, although the reasons are pretty cynical (i.e. wage flexibility -> "it's easier to give someone a 0% raise under conditions of 2% inflation than it is to give someone of -2% pay cut under conditions of 0% inflation").

You might make the argument that making it psychologically easier for employers to hand out small 'in-real-terms' pay cuts is wrong in itself, of course, but that's another discussion.
I think maybe Mozilla developers should not waste their time to support poorly documented proprietary platform with very low market share.
Notice I mentioned “Euclidean space”. That inherently involves flatness. Obviously there are several premises/axioms needed to set it up, and a variety of ways to do so.

In Euclid, we have the famous parallel postulate which helps us establish flatness.

> angles that don't sum to 180 degrees

Note that Euclid’s Elements nowhere mentions angle measures. It only describes the concept of a right angle (and angles more or less than right). The Pythagorean theorem does not depend on angle measures. If you ask me angle measures are a quite poor/confusing tool to introduce in introductory Euclidean geometry courses, since they are a type of logarithm, and much more inherently complicated than the rest of a typical geometry course.

> triangle is a set of 3 curves

This is one possible definition of “triangle”. For Euclid a “trilateral figure” is contained by three straight lines, and “A straight line is a line which lies evenly with the points on itself.” (Which has been rather hard for readers to interpret throughout time.)

> I can't wait to see what happens if/when that data leaks.

We can guess: denial, distancing, some weak laws and then nothing. Nobody _ever_ goes to jail. I imagine the five eyes are all sharing this data too.

It's only a matter of time that all data is eventually leaked, in the same way that all things eventually die. Sure, some good eating and exercise slows the process in the same way good security practices does, but eventually a mistake will be made.

This is again why the web needs to get itself decentralized, it'll be faster and securer. We'll get there eventually.
Do you not think studying gravity lead to predictive value before we reached a point of being able to compute orbital dynamics of a spacecraft?
A bit off topic: but what I’ve asked myself since I’m biking through town daily. Is there an increased lung cancer risk for city bikers with all the car traffic out there?
I really tried using this switching from Bitwarden. Unfortunately, mass import from another password manager wasn't possible and the feature set seemed limited.
I've made quite other experiences with my setup. I'm not that experienced but with my Ubuntu and i3 setup with the standard drivers from Nvidia I couldn't get playonlinux or wine running. I can't exactly tell what the problem in the end was, but it definitely is not as easy as on Windows or even Mac imo.
Building and Operating a Serverless Data Pipeline
I wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment.

I guess as long as there is no real cost attached to the waste disposal this is not going to change. We need appropriate policies to nudge the development into this direction.
I'm hopeful for a more cooperative human centric future. I think we have the technology to replace old systems and ideas. Things are getting better more then they're getting worse for so many people and I really want to see that pattern accelerate to the point all preventable disease is addressed and access to medical care is universal, there is no risk of famine due to technology advances in food production, there is no war, for obvious reasons. And on the other hand, I worry that human beings will mostly be dead and areas that are currently landlocked will be a costal town for the few remaining rich people who have replaced the need for the lower classes by automation. But mostly the former
That's cool, how do I carry that up the stairs to my apartment?
My forecast for near future geopolitics is grim as collateral damages will happen in most countries, first world or not, west or not.

I am also pessimistic about open initiatives (open source, open data, open standards etc) as benefiters will exponentially overweight contributors, to a point contributors will sick of people eating free lunches. It may also become more and more illegal to disclose security risks and software vulnerabilities.
Yeah I've heard some gaming folk say that their latency also goes down. I guess it all depends on the pipes your particular ISP has rented and their connecting places.
Audio occasionally ceases to work if it has been muted. Or if a bluetooth headset had been previously paired.

Reboot resolves the issue.
Wr tried. People threw them in the ocean and got cities to ban them.

It’s going to take me a long time to get over how broken hearted I am about people’s reactions to various bike and scooter share programs. I understand not using the services, but people were openly hostile to them.
Massive unrest due to climate change, leading to waves of mass immigration, humanitarian disasters, atrocities, genocide and a rise in authoritarianism.

“remember that it is in a VPN provider's best interest to log their users - it lets them deflect blame to the customer, if they ever were to get into legal trouble”

Disagree. It is always easier for the legal team to say, “sorry we don’t store the logs” as a way to absolve themselves.
Sounds like your skills would really come in handy with my project! I posted another comment in this thread with more info.

I'm suspicious of vector algebraic proof of the the Pythagorean Theorem.

Don't vector operation properties themselves follow from the Pythagorean Theorem (at least in their application to space and geometric objects)? If so, using them to prove the theorem doesn't make sense.

I'm not sure right now whether such circularity exists, but one should be careful.
The things I would miss most leaving Mac...

1. Uploading my Signature in Preview and being able to sign and edit PDF documents on any of my Apple Devices.

2. Screen rendering quality, on Mac everything seems to be sharper and more crisp than Linux on the same device.

3. Keynote. I so want a cross-platform replacement that is nearly as good.

4. iMessage integration with phone. I can send sms/iMessages from my Mac.

But I am planning to switch anyways. As all these companies move to a "service model", I feel like I am only leasing my software, and tools that make the hardware work. Furthermore, it feels impossible to get under the hood anymore.

Would love any advice or recommendations for the above.
Wow, this is better than I've ever expected: Android calculator makes use of Exact Real Arithmetic running in the background (with some tweaks to cope with the inherent undecidability and an infinite list of trailing zeros). I had been fully aware of ERA but never expected to see that in a such widespread application.
What do you do for grounding if your house sits on bedrock?

We barely had enough for the "buried in trench, 30" deep" option at our house before hitting the solid lava everything here is built on. (And it's buried in mostly gravel, there is practically no dirt.)
I’ve also stopped “check[ing] weekly for new things”, but that’s because I don’t need any new things! Do you?

I don’t have Instagram but I imagine it’s a bit like the App Store. I’m waiting somewhere. I’m bored. I know, I’ll check for a shiny thing. Oh, no shiny thing. That was disappointing.

To compare, do you go to the internet regularly and check for new things? I don’t think this is the App Store’s fault. It’s not on Apple to constantly put new shiny useful software in the App Store — it’s on developers. And I’m not blaming developers. Making new shiny software is hard. There’s already a whole bunch of software. If you have a problem, chances are it’s already been addressed.

Constantly shiny + new ~== a good App Store.

(~== Not necessarily equal to. Did I just invent that?)
You could visit Amsterdam or Copenhagen, they aren't exactly tropical cities. And the situation isn't binary. Because switching to something else than individual cars as the default mode of transportation doesn't mean there's no way for disabled people to get around.
Fantastic work John!

The membership feature looks amazing and I honestly am very impressed by your landing page since I work on something a bit similar :).

The Stripe Billing integration sounds exciting, but I am curious about the 0% transaction fees.
Stripe usually takes 2.9%+30c on charges and Stripe Billing costs 0.4$ (free for the first $1M so we can ignore that).

Did you negotiate some kind of a special deal with Stripe or the 0% means that YOU don't take additional fees, but Stripe fees are still there?
And yet we routinely see people here arguing in defence of 80- to 100-hour work weeks at startups. This kind of mind-sickness is not the sole domain of the elite legal profession.
Try riding to work on a 45 degree australian summer day when the UV index is so high that 5 mins is enough to get serious sunburn.
Secrecy inside a company may help a team to focus on only one thing but it also prevents people from understanding the "big picture" and unless there is a special process for "sharing lessons learned", people repeats the same mistakes over and over. It is a little sad.
Also, I'm living in Russia, and there is common knowledge that we have a lot of problems with democratic procedures here. I don't say that someone could not be fired for his voting or donating for opposition here, it definitely can happen. But it will probably cause media scandal, not media support
Tesla owner becomes first to push Model 3 to 100k miles, here’s how its doing
The only iOS 13 bugs I’ve been bitten by are:

1. Safari’s back button now seems to lose the position on the previous page - sometimes.

2. The share sheet has a row of Messages contacts that I didn’t ask for, don’t want, and can’t turn off - and it creates the risk of super-inappropriate sharing, because all my work contacts are eligible for being on this row, seemingly at random.
I want things sandboxed for sure but I definitely don't want to be forced to use App Store. In reality App Stores are bad, too much enforced centralization. Takes the power out of the user's hands.
I'm not your "bro", as much as you'd like me to be.
OK that public transportation is essential. But your climate argument is a bit shaky. Denmark and the Netherlands have comically bad weather all year round, yet bike transportation thrives on their cities. I'd say that an important factor of the viability of bikes is whether the city is flat. For example, biking in sunny and hilly Lisbon can be very tiring.
The Weirdest Idea in Quantum Physics Is Catching On: Many Worlds Interpretation
Nvidia continues to ruin the experience for people.
Yes there is, but it is statistically countered by the benefits of physical exercise that cycling provides. Car drivers are also exposed to pollution, although they don't breathe as heavily.
The public beta, code named Kodiak was awful. As were, 10.0 (Cheetah), 10.1 (Puma), 10.2 (Jaguar) and 10.3 (Panther). 10.4 (Tiger) was initially terrible, but did improve massively. 10.5 (Lion) was comparatively awful and quite jarring with it’s nit insignificant UI overhaul...

The point I’m making is that there is an awful lot of looking back with rose tinted glasses going on. It happens every time there is a new release. Thing is, every OS seems to suffer this, not just Apple.
What Are the Advantages of Oracle EBS?
That's not what I'm getting at. It's not the nodes you need to worry about, it's the edges. If you've got two fully connected 100-neuron layers in a physical circuit, that's 10,000 wires you need to route, and they all want to cross each other. That's why nobody builds physical neural networks.
You are not alone, at least.
On this note, I would say a huge opportunity here is better energy storage. Perhaps along the lines of

We have lots of methods of generating electricity but storing it is an issue.
Links for the password manager, "Firefox Lockwise" go through adjust, which appears to be a tracking/analytics/marketing platform. This is both through their website and by clicking through the Firefox UI menu.

I guess it's harder to walk the walk yourself when the desires to track usage and analytics come from within your own teams.

Check the links yourself over at:

And built in to Firefox by going about:logins, the top right * menu and clicking Lockwise for Android or Lockwise for iPhone

If they want to sell them on Catalina and newer devices they surely need to follow similar steps anyway, while paying for infrastructure themselves.

I've having a feeling that iOS 13 & Catalina is felt buggy b.c. it's not the operating system itself that's buggy but that the updater is buggy. Many things have changed in this release, and the installer/updater had to handle too many different scenarios.

For example, when I upgraded from Mojave to Catalina, an 'Moved Files' directory appeared that contained some files (that was once) in /usr/local/. I don't remember such directory appearing after an macOS update, and I've had many friends (that aren't really technical) appear that to them. There were lots of new applications (like Music.app and Podcasts.app), and data migration between internal databases weren't perfect.

I've installed Catalina two times, first by upgrading from Mojave and second a clean re-install.
When I upgraded Mojave, I found too many bugs that I was worrying about data-loss, which lead to a full backup (I do backups regularly) and a clean re-install. (Admittedly, this was my first clean reinstall for a major macOS update)
I clean-installed Catalina and manually restored all of my files from the backup, and except for some minor bugs I'm good.

It's a pity that updates aren't seamless, but if there's anyone having trouble with various Catalina bugs, (while Apple updates it's imperfect macOS updater) I would recommend a full clean re-install for macOS Catalina.
Unfortunately, just because the developer experience on Android can be even worse, that doesn't mean the developer experience on iOS isn't bad.
the safe network is something that comes to mind. when / if its released the costs for setting up an online service will be peanuts compared to today. way cheaper storage, cheaper computing if your service needs it, and also less maintenance since you don't need to worry about securely storing data. it should all be handled by the network

Does anyone know if this is standard practice worldwide? Or is it US only? How on earth do these numbers be handed to reporters before hand? It isn't about having NDA or not, It shouldn't even be allowed in the first place.

This is going to be controversial opinion. I could trust lawyers, and Accounts to be professional, but Journalist? So we could give the results to anyone who wants it early as longs as they sign a NDA and dont trade with the information?
Yes, "ahead of" probably sounds better. I am not a native speaker.

Remarkable to read a longish article on LA and noir and not find a single mention of James Ellroy.
We're talking about synthetically accelerating organic life here.

If the byproduct is cleaner air through photosynthesis generated from renewable power is that really a problem? Isn't that just efficiency?

The concern isn't the waste -- it's that a lot of these industrial growers are building proprietary technology monoliths growing "stuff that looks like food" but isn't actually all that healthy and the public burden is falling on nationalized healthcare systems.

As such - there isn't enough work in the open-source sharing of telemetry data and experience between systems.

This is why industrial ag=tech owned by big global ag companies must be replaced with something that anybody and everybody can access.

The soil on the planet is in serious peril.
> "You're taking away parking space!" "All these bike lanes are slowing traffic"

The part that always makes me laugh is when they inevitably call cyclists entitled. It's always "I demand massive amounts of probably subsidized infrastructure, to be able to drive at maximum speed all the way and to have a personal space reserved to store my car for the next 8 hours, but those entitled cyclists get in the way".

Not to mention the reliance on the government to provide the infrastructure to drive on, to build the ports to import fuel, huge multi-national companies to extract and transport the fuel, multiple foreign governments and the military interventions necessary to keep them in line, all so you can get that feeling of freedom when you drive.
Look at the sides of the greenhouses, which are far brighter than the roofs. The light from the roof is only what's reflected off the plants. LEDs are quite directional.
Big Data – Finding the Balance Between Technology and Business Value Delivery
What are most interesting and useful papers to read about flu?
Flu is coming. And I hear so many things about it, about drugs that can or cannot heal it, about vaccines that help or do not help, about aspiration masks, ways to protect yourself and ways to make your sufferings less terrible, i.e. sprays, inhalations, compresses, use of vitamins...

And I have so many questions your radio expert or a friend will never discuss, like can a flu survive on the door bell? Can you get infected via eyes? How scientists predict next year's stams when they cook a vaccine? etc etc, so I thought maybe there are papers that can realy extend your views on the matter.
People do that very thing all the time. Usually the thought is that the bottle makes a nice display piece.
I surely won't recommend Nvidia for anything Linux these days. Get a decent AMD card. That said, Nvidia should work with Wine too. Most problems with Wine are caused by missing dependencies, like 32-bit libraries that are often needed for 32-bit games naturally.

how about something around electric vehicles, especially in the developing world where it's a very hot topic. I am not saying develop an EV, but some info product or EV specific store.
Thanks you, I did not know this. I looked into it a few days ago and Apple’s support page[1] seemed to tell me pretty clearly that I had to upgrade. I know see the small print that says:

> For some earlier versions of macOS, Safari might also be available separately from the Updates tab of the App Store.

The UV issue is a red herring. There are many reasons why people need to be outside and cycling is only one of them. UV is a manageable problem for walkers and outdoor workers, cyclists are not a special case.

I guess that you've never been on a bike on a very hot day. It's much, much more pleasant to be ventilated by your self-created airflow on a bike than it is to to have sweat pouring down your back as you walk around.
Ben Popper Is the Worst Coder in the World – By Ben Popper
No need to thank us kids, we build this shit world for you!
This is quite an unsubstantiated claim in response to a detailed article. Care to elaborate?
IMO autonomous cars are going to massively increase car usage so car issues are going to get worse not better. Maybe we won't need parking lots but if autonomous cars happen people will use them for anything and everything. No more need for couriers just pop the package/document in a car. Want to run a business out of your house? No need to delivery people just pop your product in a car. Cook for sick relative, pop the meal in a car. Need grandma to watch the kids tonight, pop them in car.

Maybe some of that will go to drones but the point is that a device that shows up at your door and goes to any other door in the city for opens a huge number of new opportunities.
For the screen tearing, I noticed you're using i3 which doesn't include a compositor. If you install Compton, that will fix the tearing issue. :)
