> Right now Spotify complains about how Apple apps have an unfair advantage on Apple's platform, but they're doing the same thing.

They're not doing the same thing. From the article:

> I’ve heard there are some issues with how Apple deals with ratings, but so far, Apple operates as a benevolent despot, largely not collecting data and not privileging its own content.

Also worth noting: Apple distributes Podcasts using RSS, and has kept the ecosystem open for decades. They only provide a platform for distribution and discovery. Spotify, on the other side, wants to seize the whole ecosystem and lock it up in its walled garden. Let us not compare the two.
I thought it was pretty cool he didn't have a PhD - I used him as an example that you don't need a PhD to be a professor or do world-leading research, and you can find your own path if you want.
Also left-handed - and I also hate fountain pens, but for another reason: as a left hander you move your hand over the fresh line you are writing, so the text ends up smudged with a fountain pen. Ball-point pens work better (mostly), and I refuse to contort my hand or write at strange angles to avoid this, that's a recipe for trouble. Fortunately I don't have to write a lot by hand anymore...

Got anything I can look at regarding the financing of terrorism? Wouldn’t that be extremely illegal and would absolutely need to be reported to the government?
Thank you! The overview definitely sounds relevant. I will look into this deeper.

Yep. The integrated bitemporality definitely lays the foundation that would be necessary to implement knowledge hypergraphs.
I think the charitable interpretation is that you (like many others) believe there is a group of free market economists that promote this idea of “trickle down economics”. This idea has even less merit than a strawman, since it’s literally a reference to a satire.

> I would love to sell you stock that will grow at 0% for 30 years

Real wage growth (inflation adjusted) has grown about 14% over the past 30 years (which included a financial crisis), so your assessment of the situation is quite unfactual. Those number are fantastic for a highly developed nation, especially when combined with such astonishingly low unemployment.

> What I care about is the mentality that is justifying making "the market" be one or a handful of people, who happen to own a massive amount of wealth.

Having more wealthy people doesn’t mean that everybody else has less. The growth in wealth isn’t taken away from others, it’s generated through economic growth. “The market” is in an absolutely fantastic state. If you want to market your labor, there is abundant opportunity to do so, and it’s worth more and more every year. If you want to generate your own wealth, go ahead, there is a huge amount of cheap capital available (that’s what all those wealthy people did, most of them at times in the past when capital wasn’t as available).

If you want people to “give” you money (as you put it), I don’t know... try Venezuela? The only thing that determines the value of anything is supply and demand. The only alternative system ever (disastrously) trialed was central planning. If you have a better system than supply and demand to propose, then you might have a Nobel prize on your hands.
Terrorism? Edit: looking at your comment history I'm going to go with them supporting other left wing groups as your "terrorism"?
A lefty myself, I actually prefer a fountain pen and haven't had much trouble with them. I find with a good fountain pen, I need much less pressure to write solid lines, and they don't get jammed up like ballpoints, making the inkflow more consistent. I also tend to write with the paper at an angle to match the shape of my arm.

I think Blue Origin will explode into the space race. Bezos is a smart fellow and his number one passion is space. I think competition between SpaceX and Blue Origin is happening right now and is fierce. I'm sure Musk knows what Bezos is up to and that's why he's driving the development of StartShip so hard (and StarLink)

And they were also competing with themselves.

Sinfosky was responsible for tanking Windows Phone.

Windows Phone 7 could have evolved from Silverlight/XNA models, while evolving the support, maybe adding C++ support in the mix (On WP 7 C++ was only available to selected partners).

Instead WinDev just killed it (similar to how they torpedoed Longhorn), came up with WinRT using an incompatible variant from .NET, that not only dumped Silverlight/XNA, it required multiple reboots (WinRT, UAP and then UWP) always asking us to rewrite the applications between each reboot.

MSIX, WinUI (desktop UWP), .NET 5, C++/WinRT are just the long roadmap of fixing those issues, while trying to make everyone happy again.

At least tablets seem to be doing fine.

Microsoft killed Meego and Nokia, taking part of Finland with it. What I don't understand is why the board of Nokia went for it. Granted, I've been in the open-source world for a long time so my opinions might not be those of the average non-tech user, but Meego did feel like it could have kept some people happy ("critical mass") while giving Nokia a chance to rebuild itself. Instead, the board sold out, and destroyed what could have been a worthwhile competitor to the more closed platforms of Android and iOS. Jolla is still alive with Sailfish OS, but they are a very small fish in the sea.

I agree that if things were working right this would all be on the granola company, but evidently things aren't working right :)

To me it seems... far from certain that Amazon would attribute the inventory errors and customer complaints correctly.

From the perspective of Amazon's system they're mailing out The Packaging Wholesalers' sealed box, customers are saying it has the wrong item in, therefore The Packaging Wholesalers must be unreliable chumps that can't pack a box correctly.

Sure. They could have pivoted and partnered with automotive industry, Maemo legacy isn't even completely gone yet and it sparked a whole new generation of open source developers. Also as far as I remember Qt were still used in cars.

I've been driving manual transmission cars for several decades now, a lot in traffic jams (almost every time I'm on the road) and have had no issues with the clutches or my left knee or my left leg in general. I would rather drop dead than own an automatic transmission car again. That written, the TR-6060 transmission in the V8 is absolutely phenomenal, the clutch is heavy duty and grabs just right at half way point, it's the best clutch and manual transmission I ever drove, and I drove a lot of them. In spite of being system engineered for the race track, the V8 is a great daily driver; my colleagues knocked that one out of the park. In the interest of being fair, my other car has almost 206,000 km and both the transmission and the clutch are still original from the factory, and I'm the first and only owner of that vehicle.

My databases course was like that too. I think a lot of the point was just exposure to the principles and technologies.
> Spotify isn’t doing anything to podcasts. An audio program that doesn’t publish an RSS feed that I can subscribe to in my podcast player of choice isn’t a podcast.

You are grossly underestimating the threat. The majority of people don't even know what an RSS feed is, and a lot of users are already listening exclusively through Spotify. For them, those are the "podcasts". The change is already ongoing, and Spotify will not stop until staying out of its platform will no longer be an option for podcast producers. They will swallow up the whole ecosystem if they don't get stopped, just like Facebook did with the publishing industry.

I don't think the Corona Virus is as benign as a flu virus. Sure the mortality rate is 1% but that is what we know today. No one knows what this Virus is capable of, in terms of mutation etc, and it is because of these unknowns organisations and public officials are on alert and taking quarantining steps - rightly so.

It is foolhardy to undermine WHO's cause for concern.

I agree that it might be offensive to the actual person who is being singled out in this article, if they’re reading the article. It also occurred to me that this person is fictitious or semi fictitious in which case it’s not just inoffensive, but accurate, to call them a rando.
I don’t know exactly what OP is referring to, but the Basque country in Spain is a region with certain separatist political actors that advocate/push for the independence of the Basque Country.

In the past this included ETA which was a separatist terrorist group from the Basque region. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETA_(separatist_group)

ETA was most definitely a terrorist group, infamously known worldwide for their use of car bombs.
Yeah, except Spotify exclusives. They're forcing us to use a proprietary platform that's not accessible on all devices and operating systems (music players, non-smart phones, etc). That goes against the very open spirit of podcasting technology.
You're assuming that the enmity caused by an event of almost seventy years ago would still be intact in the absence of other factors. It is possible, but it's a stretch. Justifying the reciprocal hatred with the formulas "they overthrew our democratic president"/ "they kept our people hostages" is convenient, but these are just formulas. A lot of stuff has happened since and there was plenty of time for normalization of relationships. The fate of the nuclear accord is telling: a move towards peace and normalization was sunk by the most unapologetically pro-Israel president in US history.
Oh I see, now it makes sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Palm's WebOS was already competing and was better than Android at that point. Android being out there with Google behind it sucked the air out of the room, and WebOS was only deployed on hardware that was 6-8 months behind the competition... and so it died.

Perhaps things would have turned out differently without Android in the picture. I really liked WebOS
I see...

So rather than, say, simply using the binary array data type already present in C, they decided that they needed to subvert strings to support passing non-string data, resulting in tens of thousands of lines of support code to parallel the C runtime library, thousands more lines of bridge code for any outside libraries they might want to make use of, and almost a million lines of PHP implementation code (not including extensions!) carrying this extra cognitive burden in order to support the 1% use case, resulting in countless bugs and security vulnerabilities whenever someone used the C library functions, or stopped on NUL (or not) by mistake.

Sounds like a great plan.

> The reason to invest in research and new technology is because it gives a way out of the conundrum.

No, it doesn't. At least not by itself. We need a combined response of energy savings, energy efficiency, behavioral changes and green tech to have a chance to mitigate climate change effects.

Anyone who believes into innovation to get us out of this mess didn't make the math. Take aviation. The aviation industry currently burns 10% of the world's crude oil production. The current front-leader innovative "way out" is biofuels. Except if we used 100% of the world's agricultural surface to produce biofuel, we could only replace 25% of the world's oil consumption. Hard to imagine a growing aviation industry with that kind of constraint.

I'm OK with biofuels powering airplanes, but only if we collectively accept flying maybe 10 times less. The same kind of math would apply with hydrogen, etc. There is no exception.
Palm really had the PIM suite down. A lot of other parts of WebOS were great, too.

Too bad the hardware was so mediocre.
It was Sunday. The person wanted to deploy something to meet a deadline the next day. But from what I understand there was still some months of work to do on this component before it was production ready.

I feel it’s totally justified to just make sure that this Sunday they don’t break production. Helping the team get it right can wait until Monday.

Rachel doesn’t say what exactly was being communicated. But maybe her response on the weekend made that clear. In fact that’s what I assumed when I read the article.

In my experience at all levels, I would say Engineers generally don't have a very good sense of the big picture and of what really matters, are generally caught up in a lot of details unneeded complexity that doesn't create value in the manner they think it does.

I remember as a young Eng. getting caught up in the platform holy wars, and then sitting as a PM looking back on it all like I must have been in some cult.

There's truth to the notion that 'it's complicated' and rarely does anything get done in a weekend, but if there is focus, a decent dynamic process, things can move faster.

I worked at one company that had a messaging product, it has a big team of Engineers and things were at a snail's pace. I suggested bringing in a few talented people and starting from scratch as a re-factor, they thought I was crazy. A young intern left the team, did it on his own with one other person and met with enormous success. The company, even after literally watching an intern out-do them never changed.

Both the old company and the new company are big enough names you've all heard of them I wish I was at liberty to share.

In another project, we were opening up some basic APIs. We did some work with Facebook and they were able to give us a custom API in literally a few days. Our own, simple APIs took 18 months to deliver. The weekly product teams consisted of 10 people rambling on - and the two most important people, the dudes actually writing the code, were not ever present. It was a colossal and shameful waste.

Even though getting a rag-tag bunch of Engineers over the weekend is usually not a good sign (it might actually work for some marathon bug fixes or something), I'm usually sympathetic to the cause.

Obscure international agricultural export dispute? I don’t know about you, but that sounds very HN to me.

I’m not sure if that was intentional or not, but your choice of words (internal) seems to hint at why you might not want to see this discussed.
But the same is true for all the lower ranks. It's one thing to pay enough to get someone to do the job and another to get the best for the role. A believable promise that the employer won't suppress low end wages for the benefit of C-suite compensation can be very attractive, even if the initial offer has exactly the same numbers on it.

A weak CEO with strong people beneath him can still very much succeed, but the best CEO in the world won't help a company with otherwise sub-par employees.

And it's not just hiring: a company where people are not financially punished for sticking to what they are best at can have a huge advantage over a competitor ravaged by the Peter Principle because that's the only way to get a party of the pie.
The code looks rather verbose. I personally, would never have thought about introducing an enum like BfCommand. The quality of code is not always improved by introducing more abstractions in the form of dedicated enums and classes.

Have you thought about introducing some optimizations for common constructs? I did some work on this my online version. Look at the source of the HTML page https://www.iwriteiam.nl/Ha_bf_online.html
.config is a XDG thing. The location of it is configurable. Which is the opposite of a standard and is a bad idea in general.
I was thinking about that too - and all the articles about the Chinese ghost towns. Few people are going out most places where the epidemic is raging - society basically came to a stop. My guess is that that would indeed modify the function that dictates infection rates.

Now granted, the articles are anecdotal and not statistically representative, so there is some extrapolation in these assumptions. The actual numbers are probably somewhere in between.
The reason is likely because it was written by an American, who, for whatever reason, use all applicable titles at all times (assuming a PhD is not a bad guess for such an academic).

Use of "Dr." is uncommon in the UK, even for people who do have doctorates. Even physicians aren't always titled as "Dr." these days.
At this point, I believe that even if the population of 90% of the planet were to legitimately oppose this, ICANN would ignore it anyway.

It’s the apps that spy on you, largely not the OS.

If you lock down your app permissions and install the bare minimum of apps that you need or aren’t practical as web versions, you can absolutely limit your blast radius.

Changing your OS to sailfish isn’t helping you on its own. Sailfish can run Android apps, so if you installed an Android app and gave it those permissions, you’d have the same problem.
