The Mac was intended to be a much more tightly controlled developer environment. And it came out at a time when there was still a lot of debate over the right way to develop a computing platform.

This is very much not true. The entire extension mechanism on Macs was about using undocumented hacks to add functionality. Apple has no control over what a third party app could do through the Classic MacOS era from 1984-1999.

In fact, it wasn’t until around 2011-2012 when Apple started having sandboxing and that was only for Mac App Store apps. It was even later that they had system integrity protection. Even today, you can basically do what you want to on the Mac except for having unsigned kernel extensions.
Nationalism has always been high in China ever since the CCP took control. Not being a nationalist would be a good way to suddenly disappear off the face of the Earth.

China has always had double standards. They make it hell for U.S companies to do business there. The only thing that has changed is that the U.S has started pushing back somewhat as of late, but things are still currently in favor of China.

When China makes draconian laws like this: https://www.chinalawblog.com/2019/09/chinas-new-cybersecurit...

Is it really a surprise that companies that care about their customer privacy would be hesitant in dealing with China? Is it inconceivable that data breaches and unauthorized access of data/systems could happen through Chinese employees? These are some of the things you have to think about.

Maybe the Chinese government should look at the year (2019) and realize that personal liberties, sovereignty and privacy are important to the "west". If China is going to disrespect our important values, than what you are seeing in this Gitlab discussion is bound to take place for companies that are sensitive about protecting their customers.
Jeez man, get off your high horse a bit. There are billions of people out there, young and old, who have no clue about these things (meaning some prepaid vouchers aren't a normal form of pay for IT stuff).

Its not about ignorance of how world works, their normal world doesn't involve such technology and they never get to the point of being comfortable of new cool tech and don't follow it. Its not ideal, and it doesn't absolve them from their share of blame for the situation, but it is what it is.
> There are many companies in the business of scoring consumers. The challenge is to identify them. Once you do, the instructions on getting your data will probably be buried in their privacy policies. Ctrl-F “request” is a good way to find it. Most of these companies will also require you to send a photo of your driver’s license to verify your identity. Here are five that say they’ll share the data they have on you.
The bigger problem is that it masks the real problem. Insufficient income to save for the down payment in the first place.

You are misunderstanding. You only need to collect consent via opt in if consent is your basis of collection.

There are several other basis as well including ‘legitimate interest’. You can see all of the basis in article 6(1).

If you use a different basis you don’t need to collect consent at all whether opt in or otherwise.

Hardware data from crashes used just for cause analysis and properly stored/secured is a fairly straightforward ‘legitimate interest’ argument.

Running Jupyter Notebook in Docker using pydockenv in 80 seconds
To be fair just before .NET Standard it was much more confusing. Then by
.NET Core 3 (which I kept telling people wait till .NET Core 3 for things to get better since it wasnt till .NET Framework 3 that I saw huge adoption of .NET) it got way better. Also now we are seeing cross platform UI frameworks for .NET as well. I have been wanting to experiment with some of them but I am letting the ecosystem grow and mature a bit more.

.NET Core is the best thing Microsoft did even if it sucks they basically redid .NET Framework. It sucks when companies do that kind of thing but the end result is a much more powerful .NET ecosystem. The confusing bit is old .NET Framework libraries that may or may not work at all with .NET Core.
TeX is a document typesetting language, not a file format. It's really, really awesome for making documents that are typeset in a very specific way. LaTeX gives you a set of macros on top of TeX that allows you to abstract some of that stuff to a certain degree, but the underlying engine is for typesetting.

HTML does not have the fidelity of TeX. You just can't do the same things in HTML that you can do in TeX. Just to make it clear, TeX is a real programming language, though with a truly bizarre syntax and grammar (I still love it, though ;-) ). Trying to execute TeX and output HTML is incredibly difficult to do with any kind of quality. You could take LaTeX documents and then write a completely different formatting system that output HTML, but at that point, you would be better off using a system that is intended to output HTML: like docbook :-)

Hey yes, we have a number of modules by now. Unfortunately, the reality seems to be that while splitting up reduces incremental compile time, it increases the compile time of full builds, which is especially annoying on CI (but also basically every time we update some very core module).

Also, Swift is just really not designed well for very modular apps. There are no qualified imports, there are naming conflicts, inlining stops working, etc.
South Korea, Taiwan, Japan all are coastal, whereas North India is landlocked and surrounded by mountains, which does not let that fog to escape. This makes the problem worse.

For that matter, if Mumbai wasn't a coastal city, it would have been way more polluted than Delhi.

Having said that, yeah, the politicians do not show any kind of intent to solve the problem, it is just another matter for them to blame their rivals.

Why is this wrong? If you want to argue for higher corporate taxes then fight for them and make an argument that wins in the majority of people's minds. The tax cuts from last year encouraged companies to repatriate money from overseas though some of that is still sitting abroad.

I think Corporate "Tithing" is a good thing and should be encouraged. The Government of California has repeatedly shown that they are slow to develop housing so why should we think this time should be any different?
USB floppy drives work as designed to install SATA drivers during XP Setup.

You push the F6 key when prompted just like NT Setup where you would add SCSI drivers if needed from a manufacturer's OEM floppy.

The OEM (F6) floppy for your specific SATA hardware will contain a fileset with their basic drivers and a TXTSETUP.OEM text file referencing that particular Device ID as well. These floppy contents are often included in a small folder in the manufacturer's full unzipped SATA driver setup files.

There are workarounds if you don't have a floppy, see my other message.

Any proper BIOS serves USB devices to DOS no differently than legacy hardware, even if it is optional to be enabled when needed. You do have to plug in USB drives, kybd, mouse before turning on the PC but then DOS or W9x can boot from or access them best usually without USB drivers installed in the OS. USB-connected non-80's-legacy devices like webcams would be recognized by W9x only if the USB hub they were on had been properly installed beforehand to the somewhat uncommon USB-enabled W9x, but still would not work unless you had the device-specific W9x USB drivers for windows installation of the exact cam. Cams like this were the kind of thing that actually used windows drivers and would work after windows was booted without having to plug them in beforehand.

It’s wrong when the same entity doing the “tithing” is also paying to lobby for lower taxes. I don’t know if Apple is or isn’t, but it’s frequently the case.

Similar to someone that votes to decrease assistance programs from the government available to everyone in order to “donate” to their personal causes (or tribes).

> people in places like Zambia probably do not know how to write in numbers in English (or are not very fluent) and also probably do not know how to say the numbers in English.

Don't know where you get this impression from; based on my first-hand experience, it is very likely wrong. If you are referring to people who are illiterate in English, fair enough (although even then they most likely can say the numbers in English). But then you would need to check the rate of illiteracy in Zambia (and their language of business) before making a blanket statement like above

I find easier to use Asciidoctor to convert my files to Docbook, and then use Pandoc to generate PDFs. Asciidoctor has the ability to produce PDFs, but I find that custom templates in Pandoc are easier to customize and more powerful.
I am surprised these guys are able to operate outside the normal credit reporting laws. He’s referencing things that happened in 2009, which is well outside the usual 7 year limit for credit report data.

Clearly, these companies are going to make the argument that this is not credit report data subject to consumer credit laws, but I’m curious if that has been tested at all. I would think an enterprising lawyer could make that argument.
No one is criticizing the Chinese people who have zero control over their authoritarian government. The Chinese people are humans just like any other person on Earth, whether from America or Canada or Nigeria or India or anywhere.

When people criticize China, they are almost universally criticizing the Chinese government, because of their double standards, shady practices, lack of respect for individual privacy/sovereignty, ethnic cleansing in xinjiang.

I love the Chinese people, whereas I hate the Chinese government.
> They make it hell for U.S companies to do business there.

That's not evidenced by the massive presence of US companies in China. American companies do vastly more business in China than vice versa. Whenever I see these sorts of claims, I ask what specific restrictions or hurdles are being discussed.
OK, maybe central Africa is not going to be a major military threat.

How about China and India, whose southern parts are densely populated, and who are capable of launching rockets to space, have nuclear weapons for a long time, etc?

You don't want them to feel desperate.

The Invincible is my favourite book, period. I just love the theme of humanity bringing its most powerful, most advanced weaponry against an "enemy", and discovering not that it can't defeat it, but that doing so is simply....pointless.

I've just finished reading Lem's Hospital of the Transfiguration - I love that this theme of pointlessness is expressed even in his non sci-fi books, it's just absolutely stellar reading.

I think that Snowden showed us that this is not actually true. Things like National Security letters and the PATRIOT act make the US to me, as a European, seem very hypocritical right now.
That Gates is the one that succeeded is not evidence that no one else followed the advice.

While there is some commit history, it's definitely not low level enough to understand the process fully.

But I am imagining, from a quick "inspect element" looking at a few of the elements, that it is inspired by "brush movements": basically, you do a single brush movement with a single styled/transformed element (probably even more granular since a brush would give you trail-lines by default).
One thing is a response to unfair competition and completely different - protectionism just to support local companies and give them advantage in competition - it leads to stagnation.
So you expect the EU to not allow Apple to ban the use of private methods? Are they going to also ban Apple from not changing them?

What happens when Apple updates the operating system and starts throwing up a big dialog box every time an app accessed a private API that says “the publisher of this app needs to update their poorly written app.”?

What next? Is the EU going to also ban language makers from having public and private functions?
Well doesn't it depend on the company and current state of the company, market, economy, that dictates who's put on the head of a company?

For example, in hard market conditions, or grim financial periods usually the CFO takes the leash as the CEO, in times where innovation is required a CTO takes the leash, and in times of abundance and room for growth CMOs come forward - I know it's not that linear, but in different stages companies bring forward different people with different backgrounds.

Also you can innovate in a lot of ways other than technical ways - brand, business model, operations, supply chains, distribution, market development, the list goes on.

I think that's sending out the wrong message. There is plenty of shit that happens in the U.S and most people don't go out of the comforts of their homes after a long day of work to affect change in government. And that's in the U.S, where protest is protected by the constitution. Someone in China would be in considerable danger to speak out against the government.

The Chinese people are amazing, it is the Chinese government that is fucked up.

Getting on board with foreign boycott is not ok that much is clear, but exercising your freedom of affiliation as a company is fine as long as it doesn't contradict US foreign policies. So if you don't want to contradict those you shouldn't boycott them if you don't your gov deciding that your decision is not independent. I mean you never know, but stranger things have happened. Just because of that I generally advise foreign entrepreneurs to think hundreds of times over before they go ahead to open their offices in US.

In a DNS-amplified DDoS attack, target (CF for example) would be on the receiving end (right-hand side of [1]), and blocking, while necessary, would not be terribly efficient there.

On the other hand, deprecating "ANY" requests as standard, once percolated into BIND and other resolvers, would cut the attack[2] on the amplification stage (middle of the picture of [1]).

The U.S is a much bigger economy than China and that's one of the reasons why you see penetration from U.S companies in China. Just because there are U.S companies in China doesn't mean that what I said about the Chinese government making it hell to do business there is false. Your argument is not logically sound.

But as to your point, some of the things that make it difficult for western countries to do business there is the great firewall, draconian privacy laws https://www.chinalawblog.com/2019/09/chinas-new-cybersecurit...

and subsidies (both monetary and policy) from the Chinese government that make it almost impossible for foreign companies to compete against domestic companies.

The implication "manufacturing cement is a significant contributor to man-made CO2" might be imprecise if most of it were reabsorbed in the final produce. However, I don't see any argument why we should not be trying to absorb this CO2 - sure, concrete could aim to be carbon neutral, but why shouldn't we aim higher?
