At least on my phone, the "Install unknown apps" permission is per-source. So the F-Droid app is allowed to install software, but my web browser isn't.

There still isn't a bulletproof way to download a new store in the first place, though -- I ended up temporarily granting "Install unknown apps" to my browser, downloading and installing the app from f-droid.org, then revoking the permission from my browser.

Python is trending toward types via support for type annotations. My extensive experience with Python and Go leads me to the conclusion that it’s very difficult to write even moderately complex and maintainable Python code at scale. This doesn’t mean that no one can make money with Python—far from it—only that they would make even more money via Go (iterate faster and spend less time fixing bugs). Of course this can’t necessarily be extended to other languages. C++ and Rust would not be as productive up front than Python and C++ would probably not save you any time fixing bugs. A lisp might be faster to develop in than Go and Python without incurring too many type errors. There are too many variables to make sweeping statements, but all else equal, in my experience, static typing is better than dynamic typing. But again, there are many other variables that can cause a dynamically typed language to outperform a statically typed language for iteration velocity or bug reduction.
Would you mind expanding on what this automated lighting system is?

ZeroHedge isn't the best news source if you're looking for high quality, well sourced reporting, but if you're looking for hot takes on breaking news, ZeroHedge is a great site. As a trader, I use it quite a bit primarily because they're not afraid to get things wrong and tend to have different (and even controversial) takes on current events.

The stance Twitter, and now Google have taken against ZeroHedge I suspect will come to define how tech companies will treat the media (and the public) in the years to come. It's become very easy for companies to convince the public that they're taking these actions for the public's own good, especially when the main stream media are more than willing to paint these stories in a positive light to help bury any competition.

Who knows, perhaps these trillion dollar companies will curate the news in our interest. Perhaps it's true that we can't be trusted to decide fact from fiction. Perhaps we need Twitter to restrict tweets and tell us when the president of the US says something they don't agree with. More and more this seems to be the narrative I'm hearing.

A decade ago I used to have so much hope that internet would be liberating for humanity. That seems laughably naive today.

Per https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/04/17/trumps-fa..., on the same day, the WHO said this:

> Van Kerkhove added, however, that human-to-human transmission would not be surprising given the WHO’s experience with SARS, MERS and other respiratory pathogens.

> Van Kerkhove’s message was not lost on reporters. The Telegraph in Britain headlined its article on the news conference: “WHO refuses to rule out human-to-human spread in China’s mystery coronavirus outbreak.”

Within a week (Jan 20) they'd confirmed the human-to-human transmission, too.
Shoot. I was trying to be supportive/positive. I have worked in many non-profits. I agree, writing virtuosity would be a tremendous asset in some of the jobs you mentioned. I have not yet encountered such skill in these realms. I’m all for bringing back literacy! Beautiful!

The American electoral system leads to a two-party system, it's not a written down rule, but it's an emergent feature.

> I can buy a USD1k+ device and still not be able to install on it the apps I want because the manufacturer doesn't want me to

Yes. Good.

Sure it might benefit you and me, but Apple is designing their devices for normal people. Normal people don't care and likely benefit from the quality control of everything going through the curated App Store.

I agree that this kind of behavior sucks for you and me but we are a tiny niche audience. It's unreasonable to expect our needs to be catered to over the majority.
I don't think the putative Grandma has much need for copy-and-paste functionality from websites.

And yes, there would be fatigue, and me-the-super-user would globally block those popups from coming up. It's honestly not worth it. I would miss it maybe once a month, which is about how often I get annoyed by something messing with it.

Maybe a middle ground would be allowing websites to _insert_ things into the buffer, but not _modifying_ the buffer. (Though of course, they could just inspect what's highlighted on the page, and then flat out insert that plus their garbage, except I'd argue that I don't think they need to know what I've got highlighted, then you'd point out that that would break Google Docs, and I'd suggest another popup, and you'd say that Grandma can't handle the fatigue, etc., etc.)

I disagree that the cause of the problem is complexity stemming from size, and propose that the real issue is the industry's poor history of efficient documentation. Processes to efficiently create and read documents that describe large systems are rarely in place at most of the places I've seen. That's probably the biggest barrier to contributing code to old framework Y. It's just easier to develop framework Z.
I agree with you that some things can be designed to reduce complexity, but ironically whenever something like this happens, someone from an older product will glean ideas of the new one and port some of those concepts over (potentially further proving that the big problem is the lack of resources for understanding)

Not sure why everyone is so surprised. This goes hand in hand with apples goals in creating a seamless ecosystem for the customer. It's part of their brand, mission and identity to have this tight/strict policy. It would actually hurt their brand if they derailed from this.

Apple is an end to end ecosystem. It has a straight line vision. I think they would be wrong to not do this.

Well, some technology can't be replicated by living creatures... I could hire 10,000 book-keepers and they still wouldn't be as fast or as accurate at handling my company's finances than an old pirated copy of Quickbooks.

On the other hand, would I spend $7,000 on a state of the art sex doll? I'd probably just head to the bar, spend $50 or so on drinks, and take home a female human.

But, I'm cheap...

Some will spend the $75k to have an automated quadruped robot fetch them their sex doll.
As for me, I'll just bring my little chihuahua to the bar, use him to flirt with some girl, and head home with the dog, the girl, and some beer all for much less than $75k.
That argument is really going to fly with a juror. Apple is being too consumer friendly.
Yup, and we're looking at dropping Legacy Edge from our supported browsers for this reason as well. As of right now, we still have v17 and v18 in there, but there's a PR open to remove.
Were you using an IDE? For me, yeah go has a lot of boilerplate, but with autocomplete, because the type system is so simple, the autocomplete is super savvy and code just flies onto the screen. Still a fair amount of plumbing, but it's easy plumbing.

I can easily see it being tedious if you have to type every character.
The only thing I don't like about that is that it is dependent on the network. Some cryptos don't have multi-sig for example. It's a full system, you have to be aware of protocol changes and such - Shamir is straight math and works on any type of key independent of the system. Trade-offs as usual I guess.
> ... likely benefit from the quality control of everything going through the curated App Store.

You might be right in other cases, but in the context of TFA Apple's curation is not being beneficial to anyone but Apple.

I hope shopify understands the extremely long history of how walmart has dealt with their corporate partners in the past. Walmart typically extends a friendly hug and then slowly squeezes their corporate partners to death. They had better be ready to unravel the relationship at any sign of trouble and be working on a parallel plan to replace walmart. It seems like an unnecessary shorcut that may backfire.

You're acting like a language is either 100% imperative or 100% functional, but there's a lot of middle ground.

I just fundamentally disagree that "extra typing" (as you put it) doesn't give you much of a gain in correctness confidence.
Limiting yourself to two seems too stringent when it is just a letter in an acronym. There has been huge anti Chinese and anti Japanese sentiment in the US. I may start thebijpoccproject.com to address the invisibility of Asians in the mind of US anti racism advocates.

Take it to the next level !

(I proposed this to a famous DWI lawyer who never did anything with it).

Like technical support on call, you have retired or maybe incapacitated lawyers on video link on call. As you get stopped, you activate your laptop or large cellphone so lawyers face appears outward on screen. Laptop / cellphone is strapped to the middle of your chest.

Lawyer puts cop on notice through video link he represents you and he will be the one answering or refusing any and all questions.

He also puts cop on notice that ALL the proceeding will be considered EVIDENCE and any attempt to disrupt the process will be considered destruction of evidence / and attempts to destroy or circumvent the gathering of evidence are a crime which he will vigorously file actions with appropriate charges.
If they're so legitimate, why won't they say who funds them?

Say what you will about the NYT, Wapo, NBC, etc. But they're either public companies or in Wapo's case everyone is well aware who owns it. If nothing else having this transparency is important for news orgs so we know when there's a conflict of interest.

Oh I agree. But that's a different argument.
Maybe, but students also want a diverse student body if they're going to an institution like Harvard. I doubt that the top X% of students who get into Harvard want to be surrounded by people just like them. They want diversity and different perspectives from people who are creative intelligent. That's the appeal of institutions like Harvard.

Agreed, It doesn’t seem appropriate for info-sec people to be making decisions about what which risks to mitigate, ignore, etc. They should provide input into that process though.

So what if they're the only two black people he knows? And so what if he only gets confused by black people? There is nothing racist about it in any case.

Person A has illiberal views on race but is very good at recognizing black people's faces.

Person B has liberal views on race but is very bad at recognizing black people's faces.

From your point of view: Person A is not apparently racist and person B is a confirmed racist!

This is a good example of how mistaken the illiberal left has become on these issues.
The groups which you mention, most of those Indians, Chinese and others who come to US go through a filtering process in terms of student or work visa. So you get educated, successful and highly motivated people who also have higher incomes compared to the average income in their native countries.

The US is is literally getting "good" immigrants from those countries. You are not getting the poor unmotivated individuals.

These motivated individuals will pass on those characteristics and their wealth to their kids.

The current African American's ancestors had no such filtering process, combine that with systematic racism and poverty its not too hard to imagine why they fall behind.

Being in Canada, I think that helped a lot of my friends who had expensive rent to pay in Downtown Toronto. But, it's not clear how the financial aid will help the small businesses; I can see that a lot of the restaurant in Downtown are not going to recover and those people who eventually weaned off from the government support, won't have a job to go back. Expecting that some other business will fill those gaps won't happen suddenly.
One think I realized is that properly using the type system is a skill you have to/should learn.

It includes:

- Having some understanding of how type systems tend to work and common patterns around them, preferable in a abstrac non language specific way. Do not confuse it with knowing formal CS since type theories, it's not the same.

- Knowing how to effectively use the type system to encode important variants.

But probably even more important:

- Not getting obsessed with trying "perfectly"/"optimally" use the type system.

- Knowing that the moment your types and their relations get too complex it might not be worth it at all, even if you encode use-full variants. Sometimes just having runtime checks is so much better from a API UX point of view. Getting complex type system based API's right is hard and from what I see in the open source community most people do not have the skill to do it right. (Through this doesn't mean not using the type system to encoded constraints, just not over using it!). A common case where this happens is when people try to use the type system to force a DSL into a language which isn't very compatible with that kind of DSL.

While I often see people learning about how they can use advanced features of a type system but they do not learn when to _not_ use it.

Disclaimer: I just realized that what I see as Simple usage of the type system the parent post might already see as advanced usage.
Not to mention go compiles at the speed of light, so CI pipes are usually just rebuild and rerun the entire suite on every commit, so idk how such bugs would lurk unless the tests were lackluster. Which happens, I totally understand.

With all respect, I think "dishonest" is a mean-spirited choice of words.

Sure, we have examples of computers that allow users to install their own programs, but we also have examples of computers that by and large do not: video game consoles. It's been clear from very early on that Apple thinks of iOS devices as "application consoles."

Furthermore, while a phone clearly isn't a dishwasher, what about a smart TV? The LG OLED that I have sitting in the living room proudly proclaims it runs WebOS when I turn it on, but as far as I know, there's no way for me to put my own software onto it even though it would surely be capable of running it. I'm sure there are people who are upset about that at least in principle, but in practice most of us don't really care too much about that. The comment sections of reviews of LG TVs are not filled up with angry cries about how LG refuses to respect its customers.

There are arguments about whether Apple should treat iOS devices as equivalent to consoles. For instance, I don't think it's intrinsically bad to have started that way but as time goes on there are purely practical arguments against continuing it -- and it seems actively detrimental to where Apple wants to take the iPad. But I don't think "this shows Apple doesn't respect its customers" is a particularly useful takeaway here; the vast majority of customers really aren't jonesing to sideload apps.

Last but not least, while this whole "the platform must be open" is a favorite hobby horse of HN -- and, to repeat, I am in favor of letting people sideload iOS apps! -- it's slightly orthogonal to the beef Hey has with Apple here. Yes, if Hey could sideload their app that would get around the problem, but the real question is whether Apple is being fair by saying that Hey can't be in the store unless they allow their subscription to be bought with an in-app purchase. This is demonstrably not a standard they've applied universally, and it's dubious whether it's a standard they should have at all.
