This is true, but it’s also true that it wasn’t in a vacuum.

People were already trying to damage Apple’s brand by making the case that they were intentionally slowing phones down to force upgrades, long before there was any substance to the concept.

I’m not saying they made good choices, but it’s not clear that they had good options.
Fascinating article!

I'm not sure there's a catch, so much as there's just a number of comparable but corporate-backed alternatives that are seeing some popularity right now:

* TypeScript (Microsoft)

* Dart (Google)

* Kotlin (JetBrains, with Google too)

* Swift (Apple) (though not sure if it compiles to JS)

Sure but that’s an effect of new phones being a lot faster because of advances.

Fair point. Google is close to shipping clang built Linux kernels in their data centers (usable VM images for external users already are), but Amazon and Microsoft both have very large clouds as well. I'd guess it's still way less than mobile devices, but I don't have a good sense for how the numbers compare in terms of number of devices in existence for mobile va cloud.
Fascinating. Thank you for writing this comment.

> There was also a SAC-3 system in development, otherwise known as The Sente Super System which was actually complete and ready for release in 1987. Based on Amiga Computer hardware, it promised next-generation graphics and games. SAC-3 could be installed in existing SAC-1 and SAC PAC cabinets, and was going to be launched with a title called Moonquake.

This is rather amusing to read, considering that later on, there would be arcade platforms based on Wintel computers (such as Taito Type X.)

His exact words:

> Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus. You know that, right? Coronavirus. They’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, ‘How’s President Trump doing?’ They go, ‘Oh, not good, not good.’ They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa, they can’t even count. No they can’t. They can’t count their votes.

> One of my people came up to me and said, ‘Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia. That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was on a perfect conversation. They tried anything, they tried it over and over, they’ve been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning, they lost, it’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. But you know, we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We’re 15 people [cases of coronavirus infection] in this massive country. And because of the fact that we went early, we went early, we could have had a lot more than that.

I second this. Although I think maybe 4 or 5 may be a more apt age, my father gave me his old curtis screwdriver set, and let me take apart various electronics they were phasing out at work. Your local recycling center may also provide some good scrap to work with. I know it's less and less common nowadays, but you should try to give him older electronics, as they have larger components, and more obvious traces to follow with a finger. I'd assume there are still plenty of people throwing out old handsets and dvrs at your local recycling center.

Also here is possibly the most influential gift my father ever got for me: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002LUAL6?tag=duckduckgo-d-20&lin...

Our hardware store carried them, and it comes with solder and an iron. After learning how to solder, I taught myself how to scrap old motherboards, and amassed a sizeable collection of used components which I still reuse now. We weren't too component about this thing when I was little, but you should probably also get him some gloves and a hepa filter hood so he dosen't burn himself or inhale anything bad.

A Cure Worse Than Disease
I really have no clue why you're angry or what you're arguing.

There are people who are 40 years old who are dying, and those people also have major health issues.

I'm not trying to say old people and 5 year olds are equally healthy and running around. I don't know why you're so frustrated and thinking I am and continuing to be needlessly condescending and thinking being called out makes those claims accurate (it doesn't).

What I'll repeat is plenty of people seem to be getting out of the disease just fine and many with no symptoms. Some people--regardless of age--seem to be hit especially hard. Many of those people seem to have major health issues. Since older people tend to have more health issues, it's obvious that they're generally hit harder, but many are still getting infected without it turning severe.

Again, I have zero clue what your point is or why you attacked me as some clueless FAANG employee or what relevance that even has. I'm not sure if it's some odd projection or what.
Well, the idea would be that the option corresponds to a kit that's actually in stock somewhere, and you need to buy the option well in advance. The option would be to purchase the kit at regular price. If you don't need it, you could transfer the option to a charity.

Maybe a medical distributor would be in the best position to do this; they could regularly replace and sell this extra inventory to keep it from getting too old.

Nor is IRC, which is what prompted me to reply.

I made a mistake though, nobody else in the comment chain was talking about Rust or developers. I had read a comment in another part of the thread which linked to Mozilla's forums [0] which mentioned more people in the developers channels on the Matrix instance, which I had mistakenly assumed was part of this comment chain, hence the question relating to developers.

The map of the United States raises an interesting question. There is a pretty distinct line down the middle, with nearly opposite light/dark patterns on different sides of the line.

To the east, it is mostly bright areas with islands of dark. To the west, it is mostly dark areas with islands of bright.

If you look at a regular map, nothing really stands out to explain the difference. It is not like there is, say, a mountain range or difficult to cross river or something running down the boundary that made travel or settlement westward much more difficult at that point.

So why did patterns change there?

I asked about this once before, and received a few answers. I'm not sure if any of them are the actual explanation or not, though [1].

Plenty of software companies make a lot of money selling to lawyers. Clio (https://www.clio.com/), for instance, is a SaaS that helps lawyers run their practices better. It doesn't try to replace lawyers; it just saves them time on the bullshit of running a firm. Kira (https://kirasystems.com/) automates due diligence, which is a labor-intensive (and hence costly) process that nobody loves doing, but which does generate a lot of billable hours for paralegals and support staff.
For Byzantine chant, I strongly recommend immersing yourself in the music by listening to it as much as possible. Try to focus on music in your native language--if it's English, then there are more and more recordings coming out. Become familiar with the scales that are used and learn what tone each song is going with. Memorize and sing back the simpler melodies that you can manage, such as the troparia commonly sung every week.

If your parish does chant, express your interest to the lead chanter and see what they have to say about learning. While we of course want everyone to be able to participate, if somebody is really off (especially with ison, which are the held "bass notes"), it can confuse people and cause a lot of chaos in the middle of a service. :)

If your parish doesn't chant (meaning they only sing perhaps Russian-style four-part harmony), then you have a more difficult road ahead. It's hard to develop this skill without a mentor and without often practicing it in the real life context of the services. And it's of course nice when you don't have to lead a service while also being a beginner!

I encourage you to check out https://www.byzantinebeginnings.com/ It's a unique teaching method for chant using games and exercises, rather than just reading sheet music. Although I had chanted for many years, after I took the first course I really improved a lot. A good friend of mine is involved in creating it and has used her professional teaching experience to shape its pedagogy, although it's still being refined between sessions.

Finally, I strongly recommend learning Byzantine notation over using western notation, even if you are familiar with the latter. Byzantine notation is a DSL optimized for conveying the subtle rhythm and ornamentation that is often lost in translations to the western staff. The loss of this can make renditions sound stale and lifeless. As you can see in my original comment, fully translating such nuances results in way too much boilerplate! An experienced chanter can read a series of neumes like words in a sentence and know all of the musical richness to impart to it.

May you have a blessed start to your Lenten journey.

Extracting Embedded Payloads from Malware
Do you have analytics that give you some idea what fraction of subscribers use different versions of Certbot and other ACME clients ? The API is HTTP so presumably all clients could provide an HTTP user agent, although obviously some will show up as generic library defaults.

Was this feature something already planned (albeit presumably not for release today) or was it entirely inspired by this problem? I confess if you'd asked me "What extra features does Certbot need?" I would not have listed "Check OCSP to trigger renewal" though in hindsight it's a good idea.
That was before and this is now. Java is adding things quite frequently now.
There are tons of different d3 modules (40+). As someone who uses d3 extensively, but rarely uses its selection and data binding functionality, I put together a birds-eye view of the different modules. There is tons of great functionality that is usually skipped over in favor of the DOM-manipulation methods, like managing colors, dates, data munging, etc.

I have no visual memory. I’ve spent a bit of time thinking about how I remember people and how they move is a big part of it. I know a man who is very still. Like abnormally still. He was married to a dear friend who passed away and use to regularly visit a place I use to work. I never remembered him. I knew I was supposed to know him but got it wrong every time, until u realized he was really still and when I saw someone who was still, I knew it was him. Not just walk, but breath. I thought it was pretty neat the first time I read about identifying people by their gait.
Is is just a sign or is there a formal quiet area enforced by law? I couldn't find anything designating a formal restriction on radio, but I'd be interested in reading about it if there is one. As far as I am aware, the NRQZ is unique in the US.
The National Radio Quiet Zone is not locked down either. There is a public road through Greenbank and the observatory there a very cool visitor center. I can recommend both the coffee and the tours they offer there. The office space for the observatory next door has a locked door, but it is not "as locked down as a military base" by a long shot.
Travel insurance can also be an option if you're worried about having to miss something for reasons outside of your control.
I'm a fan of changing the clocks twice a year for the reasons nicely laid out in this article: http://www.leancrew.com/all-this/2013/03/why-i-like-dst/

>If we stayed on Standard Time throughout the year, sunrise here in the Chicago area would be between 4:15 and 4:30 am from the middle of May through the middle of July. And if you check the times for civil twilight, which is when it’s bright enough to see without artificial light, you’ll find that that starts half an hour earlier. This is insane and a complete waste of sunlight.

>If, by the way, you think the solution is to stay on DST throughout the year, I can only tell you that we tried that back in the 70s and it didn’t turn out well. Sunrise here in Chicago was after 8:00 am, which put school children out on the street at bus stops before dawn in the dead of winter. It was the same on the East Coast. Nobody liked that.

Changing clocks is a hassle but the alternatives are worse.

> I think we are forgetting the most important result there: vitamin C IV in high doses fights cancer.

No, that's wrong. Vitamin C IV in high doses makes certain chemotherapy work better to fight cancer. And does so in a way that Pauling wouldn't have been able to predict, his mechanism of action would imply that it would reduce the effectiveness of the chemotherapy.

Asking for clarification is not giving 'counter-advice'...which isn't a thing, unless you meant to say 'add rigour'.
This … doesn't match my experience. I was a NPP voter in CA; as I remember it, last year, I just walked in, the tables/lines were well labelled, and I was either asked which ballot I wanted or I simply pointed to it since they were laid out on the table. I recall no trouble voting in the Democratic primary.

(Now, that was last year. I've since left CA, as it was too expensive.)

(This release[1] does seem to corroborate what the article says, though.)

Sort of related, genuine q for the founders who've raised money and lost it (had to shutdown): how did you feel about losing investor money? Did it make you gun shy about raising again from investors? Did you retain good relationships with them? Does credibility take a hit?
Cookie cutter legal advice is a landmine/footgun for a business. Even Stripe Atlas will lead you down a dangerous path if you don't check with a lawyer when incorporating. Don't fuck around with business legalities, it ain't worth it.

Unfortunately, if you even think about your attorney, you'll be charged for it but the peace of mind is worth it.

Having a lawyer you trust, is timely to questions, and works fast is just a layer of stability you need so you can focus on the important parts of a startup. Legalzoom is garbage in this regard.
Typescript is another one where null and undefined are unique singleton types, which are encompassed under the catch-all `any` type but, if strictness is turned on, are rejected by any other type matching.

doThingA(param: any) // you can pass anything including null and undefined
doThingB(param: object | number | string | boolean | bigint | symbol) // you can pass anything except null and undefined
Isn't that LegalZoom?
Just saw this now, I wanted to switch but couldn't get my head around it and what I was used to.
I looked at the wallet address, which looked liked it was used to slurp up BTC from a number of different sources. Didn't bother tracing it any further than that because I was so disgusted with myself for losing (potentially) thousands of dollars. Good news is that I signed up for Coinbase when they were giving out 0.1 BTC signup bonuses, so I still got to ride the wave with that. Made me feel better about writing off the BTC I mined the hard way on my Macbook Pro— better to think of it as an expensive way to learn about the importance of good passwords and 2 factor authentication :)
It's funny how the majority of people can't get politicians to undo DST for decades now. Makes the tiny change in healthcare for some look like a major miracle.

I think they just altered the DST start/end days, I remember it used to end before Halloween until too many kids got hit or killed by cars in the dark.
Lol "dozens" is an overstatement. In any case, it's more limited than the open market, and for absolutely no reason. 401ks shouldn't exist - just increase the limits on IRAs and let everyone use those.
The NRQZ is definitely not locked down, and it's lot bigger than Greenbank too. It's not a super populated region, but it's 13,000 square miles. It is larger than 9 states.
A couple years ago, I was designing an XML schema. The document was a mix of the formal schema and English prose explaining each element. I used a pre-commit hook that extracted the RelaxNG schema and confirmed that it was well-formed, which helped me avoid committing invalid versions of the document.

On the server side, I have a post-receive hook in the repo for a website. When I push to 'develop' it runs the static generation script and deploys to my local server as a preview. When I push to 'master' it builds and pushes to production.
> a better strategy would have been supplying tools and software to lawfirms,

tools and software for patent law are abundant and low value. you can't just say "tools and software for [INDUSTRY]" and assume a business model exists there. you need some insight into how firms operate.

> aggregating data and knowhow

law firms are not going to give a startup access to client data. especially in any format that could be aggregated. 0% chance. confidentiality, privilege, and patentability, are essential. it goes against our business model and professional obligations.

> and then pivoting to an “automated” law firm as a service.

the portion that could be automated is 10% of the value. experience, both with the practice area and the client's industry, are 90% of the value.

think of stackoverflow, yes an applicable code snippet exists on there, but understanding how it works, what its going to do, and the larger implications is the valuable bit. you can't automate that.
I like this. Tsundoku can be a true challenge at times.

I prefer the command-line over the GUI most times - it's a standardized interface for most interactions, and it's always scriptable.

Delegated Credentials is the proposed mechanism to do what you actually want to achieve here. The certificate issuance is mostly the same except there's an OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.44363.44 and the digitalSignature KU is present meaning this certificate is intended to be used with Delegated Credentials and thus can sign things.

Although tightly constrained subCAs (which is roughly what you're describing) might be a way to achieve your goal, it's seen as disproportionately complicated and risky, so hence this proposed much more narrowly defined new feature for TLS.
Sure. I started with Reddit, for a very basic setup you'll need:

1. A website agent that parses the Reddit JSON api (just add .json to a subreddit URL)

2. A trigger agent to filter based on your criteria (ex. minimum 50 points) and transform the JSON to a nicer message

3. An email digest agent to bundle the messages into a single email

Each one of these feed into the next so you go from the raw JSON to a nice email. Then you can easily just feed more things into the email digest agent to add more to it.

Let me know if you have any other questions, my email's in my profile. It was pretty confusing for me to get started but I'm getting the hang of it now.
