This is not a new thought and the lawyers actually understand this. GPL was not designed to protect user from open source. And its an idiotic missapplication. Oracle themself diliver ZFS with Linux, and so do many, many others.

The only 'argument' is that we can't do it because 'big bad oracle' will sue you but that really doesn't hold up.
We need a way for software to declare its runtime dependencies. This product must use some sort of running process on the public internet, and yet there's no mention of it in the readme!

I don't think it's just a question of Scotland not having a choice about where the shortfall is made up by, but of the shortfall having to be made up using fossil fuels.

For context, because Scotland is so big and empty, a disproportionate chunk of UK wind power is based there compared to their population - so much so that if I remember correctly their wind power has to curtail sometimes due to interconnect limits with the rest of the UK. It's kind of hard to get day-by-day or hour-by-hour figures for Scotland alone, but Scottish nuclear + renewables in the entire UK dropped well below Scotland's peak demand a good few times just in the last two months. That shortfall has to be made up using fossil fuels, there's no alternative - and a good chunk of that is going to be Scottish fossil fuel plants due to interconnect limits.

The Scottish government is simply using the fact that a disprortionate amount of UK wind power ended up there to spin themselves as less dependent on fossil electricity than they are. You can't measure progress towards an 100% grid using net figures like this because the last bit of demand is so much harder to satisfy renewably than the first, and countries with the ability to play silly tricks like this with net power can skip the hard part and pretend they've solved the problem. If/when renewable generation in England and Wales increases it might well even roll this figure back as less electricity is imported during peak wind generation, despite the fact that both Scotland and the rest of the UK would be getting more of their actual electricity from renewable sources.
It doesn't mean jack shit... it's a start that can be improved upon.
>>I don't understand why anyone still buys anything at Amazon. Their Fulfilled-by-Amazon (FBA) idea was quite a game changer, but the implementation with the inventory co-mingling is something that I'd much rather stay away from as a consumer.

As far as I know it doesn't happen in the UK at all. I have placed 200+ orders with Amazon in last year alone and haven't had any issues except for a couple deliveries which were a day late(Amazon extended my prime by a month each time). 99% of my deliveries arrive in 1 day as promised. They have exemplary customer service as well. In a way, I don't understand why you'd buy from anyone else but amazon :P

The rule of thumb in Western EU (mind you it is only an order of magnitude and may vary) for a 10 meter wide road (think one way highway two lanes+emergency lane 2x3.75+2.50=10 or an extraurban road 2x3.50+2x1.50=10) is usually considered:

plain road (on terrain) € 10,000,000 x km

viaduct/bridges € 20,000,000 x km

tunnel € 30,000,000 x km

with a variation of up to -15% or -20% in countries where workmanship and materials are cheaper and + 15% or + 20% in the more expensive ones.

In pretty much any language other than python you'd have to be careful for the case that i might become negative anyway.

And in python you could just go:

import itertools as it
a = ''.join(it.islice(it.cycle("abc"),10))

Also you don't need 0 to form a ring. Modulo arithmetic forms a ring no matter which representatives you pick. Languages just tend to implement one that includes 0 because it's more convenient.
If you’re only thinking of temperature, sure, we can adapt.

Trouble is, CO2 concentrations of 1500 ppm turn us into idiots, and from what I’ve seen we could reach that from just known reserves of coal and oil.

Worse, if we don’t switch to renewables, exponential growth of energy demand means we burn all the known reserves in my lifetime.

This is a good example,and the error returned by the Java DNS library is obviously wrong. However, I don't think that simply returning the file IO exception would have been the right solution. The best solution would have been for the DNS resolution error to have carried the FileIO error as a Cause. That way, code that could recover from a DNS resolution error could handle the DNS resolution problem, and code that couldn't would still log the actual root cause.

The Java networking libraries seem to be particularly poorly written for DNS error handling. I encountered an error where I was opening a socket to connect to a hostname, with an explicit timeout of a few seconds (it was an external service, but the application was supposed to work offline as well). To my surprise, the call would block for a few minutes on a customer system. It turned out that the call was first resolving the hostname, and that the timeout value I supplied was not applied to the DNS resolution, which was using a system-wide default timeout.

One other point about your example: I think that one thing missing from all language runtimes that I have seen is a proper logging mechanism that is truly available language-wide. Of course there is always stdout/stderr, but these are usually far too limited and it is nkt considered good form to log to them from libraries. Even if you did, you would obviously not respect the application logging format in regards to stuff like time format, timezone etc. In contrast, a standardized configurable logging mechanism would help so much with 3rd party library debugging.

The iPad has slowly revolutionized personal computing. After the music production apps became available, including Apples own Garageband, the iPad has become a very common sketching tool for musicians. When the Apple pen and the Procreate became available, the iPad pro also became one of the most used tools for painting and sketching. An iPad pro with Apples keyboard, is more useable for most common day users than most windows based laptops.
I can agree "code should be in small functions" by itself is a bad guideline.
I think it's suggested due to other principles around making code easier to read / use.

It'd be better to ask if the code is more complex than it needs to be.

I liked the terms John Ousterhout uses. For some module of a program (e.g. a method, class, package, etc.), it has an interface and an implementation. The interface is "what you need to know to use the module", the implementation is "how it's done".

Complexity comes from dependencies (e.g. more interfaces you need to know about), and from obscurity (e.g. things you need to know about, which aren't obvious from the interfaces given).

In some cases, many small methods would be an increase in complexity overall. In some cases, one big method may be an increase in complexity.

> The worst thing is that the forced over-simplification of the UI features did not make it easier to use for beginners.

I believe Gruber argues completely the opposite: that the recent changes to add features like split screen make it more confusing (e.g. the example of his mother getting stuck in the split screen and calling him). He continues in the very article we comment here (emphasis mine):

"if I could go back to the pre-split-screen, pre-drag-and-drop interface I would. Which is to say, now that iPadOS has its own name, I wish I could install the iPhone’s one-app-on-screen-at-a-time, no-drag-and-drop iOS on my iPad Pro. I’d do it in a heartbeat and be much happier for it."

And I think that should be a configurable accessibility option: to have UI completely discoverable and non-stuckable, even if some "so-called-Pro" features need more steps (or can't be implemented). Or even better and safer: that should be the default, with "advanced" shortcuts as an opt-in option.

The interface should by default to never bring users to the point where they can remain "stuck" in some mode from which they can't get out.

Steve Jobs understood that that 100% "discoverability" and "non stuckiness" must be the default UI, that's why Gruber would like to switch back to that older ideal.

And Steve Jobs was old enough to learn that much earlier: that the "modes" are bad and that good UI doesn't require one to do some magic to switch between them, as it can be summarized in the joke: "How to Quit Vim and Exit the VI Editor — the most popular Stack Overflow question -- and I'm using vi last two years because I can't figure out how to exit it."

Even these "visual" UI changes that made the UI more "Ive-conform" (removing buttons and having only text) made the UI more confusing for anybody not trained and retrained. The back "button" in the apps was drawn as a button when Jobs controlled the UI. Then it got to be switched to just the < sign, which those who don't frequently use the UI never understand to be anything more than a meaningless symbol on the screen.
Except that even Turbo Pascal for MS-DOS allowed it.

People should actually stop using late 70's Pascal examples, specially when ISO Extended Pascal in 1990 fixed most of them, not to mention famous dialects like UCSD, Apple's Object Pascal and Turbo Pascal, or its modern variants.
That's not quite true - iPads are a huge hit in electronic music for performance and production. Whether that counts as 'revolutionary' is another matter - there was the original Lemur which proved the multitouch MIDI use in principle - but it has created a new software niche market that genuinely is thriving and used for 'proper work'.

Those may be true, but it seems like you're just defining civilization as the point at which a given group of people developed a writing system, and also pointing to a lot non-mutually exclusive events. That's far from "all evidence" and you're just describing multiple civilizations occurring at different times. You also had the Indus Valley Civ around the same time. Likewise, even if one is younger than the other, obviously doesn't mean it's considered to have the same longevity.
Agreed, Observable fixes a lot of the problems I've had with other notebooks. It can still be fiddly for code over a certain size/ complexity but the ability to import from npm modules goes a long way to fixing the problem. The user base seems to be predominantly drawn from the visualisation side of things + the fact that it's javascript may limit its uptake in science/maths areas. Aside: I've felt for a while that JS is really missing decent maths/stats libraries, any suggestions?
> Touching some side of the screen triggers this or that surprising feature

Ah this brings back fond memories of Windows 8 :-)
Disclaimer: I used to work in this industry for about 4 years at various DSPs. I've worked with Grindr as a client and bought a lot of Mopub inventory and met with their employees several times.

DSPs get access to around 84 data points from the various SSPs that they work with. This ranges from information around age, sex, city geolocation and what apps are currently installed on your phone. It's scary to see just how effective these 84 data points are in predicting user's likelihood to commit certain actions.

My friends that are still in the industry are quite confident that Apple will depreciate the IDFA in the coming year to fit more with their 'privacy that's iPhone' stance. This will greatly reduce the ability for DSPs to target users and all performance marketing on iPhones will be reduced to branding ads, that have very little targeting.

As a consumer, I'm very happy with these changes and hope Google will follow suit with the GAID. If you're using an iPhone I'd recommend to switch off your IDFA in your privacy settings ("Limit Ad Tracking" toggle on). By doing this DSPs will no longer be able to target you.

The issue is the entrance into split-view, which should expose the springboard, not the dock.

The intuitive way to launch a second app would be to slide in from the right or left with two (three?) fingers, which would expose a compressed view of the springboard in split view. Then you could access all the apps intuitively (by swiping to the next page of apps) and launch the second app in the intuitive click-an-app method. This could even be tiled in a golden-rectangle geometry to expose a third app.

All you're trying to do is repurpose the slide-right slide-left function to expose springboard in a new way, which can be done with a multi-finger gesture.
Indeed, pretty much for most Europe would be: not signed -> not delivered. Either they call before hand (if the delivery company has the phone number or they can fetch it), have another attempt to deliver, or leave the parcel in a self servicing pick up area, dropping a note in the mailbox with the code to open.
They make good head units too.

I guess what OP was trying to say is that their application as creative tools (production vs consumption) is far more limited than the full fledged PC systems that we are used to.

The iPad has failed as a general purpose computing device, sure. But it has succeeded (along with other tablet devices of similar form factor) as a basis for a large and growing number of single-purpose use cases in various industries:

- iPad POS are popular in smaller coffee shops and similar outlets

- iPad-based document viewing solutions are used by pilots to replace large bags with manuals for planes that they used to lug around

- iPads are used for meeting room management solutions, information displays for customers and similar purposes where one single application is to be run basically 24/7 on a device with low power and space requirements, but where certain aesthetic requirements to the app as well as the hardware have to be satisfied

Granted, iPads don't hold this space exclusively. But so don't iPhones or Macs hold their respective application spaces exclusively, even though they significantly catalyzed their genesis.
When we decide that we don't want perpetual growth. So - not any time soon.

Yep. I had zero interest in tablets whatsoever, but the day I saw the Apple Pencil had launched, I went to a store to try it out. Ended up buying it and an iPad after less than 5 minutes of thinking.

Drawing pads for PCs were a pretty bad market before Apple hopped into the game. Your only real options were buying a "cheap" tablet at a couple hundred bucks (the lower end ones are inaccurate and barely a step above struggling with a mouse) with no screen and trying to adapt to drawing without looking directly at your hands, or you could spend a huge amount of cash on a drawing pad with a screen built in. The latter was really only available for people with loads of cash to spare and certainty that they'll be getting their money's worth.

An iPad with a Pencil barely costs more than a garbage bin drawing tablet, but you get a highly responsive screen and direct input. All of that plus Procreate is about the price of a 2 year Photoshop scheme.
