I find it funny are people are willing to argue over this, which takes way more energy than actually doing the change. My boss was going to use trunk, but I was on my own for prod, until I brought up the points that it reflects what is for, we have a development branch and Git is graph base, then the CTO was on my side when he heard graph. After my boss made the change, he noticed that trunk wouldn't have read well thought-out the Atlastin suite and Production did.

My only thing with the change was make sure we had proper nomenclature.
Expected deaths per month (averaged over the last 30 years) compared to to actual deaths per month for 2020. We are seeing a lot more death in general, specifically not directly attributed to COVID.

US can’t pull these numbers yet but they are available for many parts of Europe and those countries show way higher “non-COVID” deaths than expected.

I still think the fact that end users know that apps in App Store have been valided by someone creates a kind of secure bubble for the end users. And it works well!

I feel like it's pretty fair in thst case. By definition they can't raise prices, so how else are they to keep up with inflation?
To clarify, because there is difference: This is not about the consumers and their choices, it is about the businesses which play no role in that choice but are affected by it. The question is how large a barrier to the market should a company like Apple be allowed to erect before it's considered excessive or anti-competitive.
App Ideas – Collection of app ideas for your next project
I don't think the author's account is complete here, not because he is lying, but because he cannot face the truth, which is that in order to make his case against a viewpoint academia considers to be beyond the pale, he would be obliged to understand and make a fair representation of the viewpoint he is attempting to refute.

Attempting such a project, even from a stance of strong opposition, would be enough to provoke anger and enmity from people who find such opposing views so intolerable they simply wish to 'disappear' them.
None of the first few apps that show up for me in the iOS store need accounts. I've used Reeder in the past. But now I use NetNewsReader which is free and available on github.

Bad for america, good for the rest of the world though- maybe by restricting American foreign policy we’ll see more competition for SV open up globally.
This is what I do with my post it passwords at home :)
I do the same. I'm in Sweden. There's old school pre-EU-legislation for price labels to have show a comparison price like that here. I've always assumed this came out of the consumer-empowerment-movement in the 70s, here. Is there a similar thing in the rest of the EU? Perhaps this is left to the member countries?
It hasn’t been issued yet, so no way to know for sure but the rumor is that no one will be able to enter (including re-enter) if they fall under the executive order but those in the country in status will not be immediately impacted.
This is an interesting opinion. Can you share how would you design a proper structure so the above is not the case?
Yes, the state of the art is to use social agitation to delegitimize an inconvenient argument altogether. It's as true in the academy as in politics — indeed the former is an extension of the latter.
It is not that long ago, and the land is really well studied. I think I trust the Icelandic volcanologists over the middle age historian regarding the source of the 535 eruption. This size eruption would definitely leave sizeable evidence that wouldn’t be that hard to find given the barren landscape of Iceland.

See compare this to the 1783 Laki eruption which caused similar weather events. Unlike 535, the weather events from the Laki eruption were limited to the Northern hemisphere.

It is much more likely that this eruption happened close to the equator, where evidence erode much quicker and the ash has an easier time effecting the two hemispheres.
Our designers use Figma but the licenses are so expensive that people on the product team can’t even make small changes or illustrate concepts. Additionally the UX has tons of hidden features making it hard for non experts to discover how to do simple things like export mockups.

As a result the designers have a backlog of small busy work changes instead of focusing on the key design questions. No one else has licenses to make updates or knows how to use the tool.

The product team has started using Whimsical which is easier to use and is more reasonably priced for people who only use it occasionally or need to quickly illustrate low fidelity concepts. Now we have two design tools to essentially get around UX and pricing problems.
Seems kind of silly to say without evidence that it's just to feed the base when there's a valid reason as to why it's being done (to prioritize Americans out of work)

I'd argue that the digitized versions would likely last several years. After a catastrophe stuck, one of the instructions after securing immediate survival would be to transcribe the contents to whatever media is available for longevity. Likely entire libraries of books. Otherwise you'd need to store and maintain those entire libraries everywhere prior to the event, which would be harder to accomplish and keep safe.
2020 is the election year.
I agree that, based on their pandemic response (among other things), I wouldn't want the people currently running the executive branch to design a new healthcare system for the country.

But how does it follow that because one group of people are incompetent, the very concept of government cannot work?
Either government has to intervene and make the marketplace competitive, or we'll have to spend a decade or more routing around the app duopoly.

I used to think we could build a new platform in a sandbox on top of the old platforms (like a browser), but the duopoly has gotten so confidently aggressive that they'll squash out of existence any new platform before it has a chance to grow.

I actually thought Expo (the React Native runtime) had a chance to do this "platform on a platform" thing, but Apple wouldn't even allow their debug tool to exist once they realized you could preview apps by plugging a URL into their runtime client, and that those apps were actually good.

So yeah: government intervention, or a few decades of lost progress and value creation. Thankfully for those of us still living in a democracy, we get some choice in the matter.

Surely this will bring jobs back to America. Surely this will mitigate the unmitigated failure that is the American governments non-response to COVID. Surely Silicon Valley executives sucking up to the whitehouse will make this less damaging and didn’t contribute to it happening in the first place. Surely this will be the thing that takes down Donald trump.
Let me put it in simple terms: words have different meanings and are used to describe different concepts depending on the context the word is used in. With me so far?

Now take the word 'port'. What does it mean?

- when you're on a ship it means the place where the ship goes to load and offload goods and people...

- ...except for when you're on the bridge in the middle of the ocean and the captain tells you to turn to port in which case it means 'turn to the left'...

- ...unless you're in the engine room talking to an engineer who says the cooling water port seems to be clogged for in that case it means the hole in the side of the ship through which water is taken in for cooling the engine...

- ...or you're in the radio room where the operator just plugged a network cable into the ethernet port on the satellite comms transceiver...

- Then again, when you're in the liquor store it indicates a fortified type of wine...

- ...however, when you're at an alcoholics anonymous meating people might take offence at you bandying this word around since their port wine habit nearly cost them their lives.

Does the offence taken by alcoholics mean the captain, helmsman, engineer and network technician need to find different words for their ship-haven, left-side-when-facing-forward, water-entry-hole and network-socket?

Of course not, don't you agree?
Malthusian Catastrophe
My personal opinion is going with ZeroTier instead, had more trouble with wireguard then its worth (V likely issue on our end, Ds-lite users couldn't connect, handshakes not working until wireguard server /firewall restarts etc) meanwhile ZeroTier was on all devices 0 setup apart of setting dns servers (+ busted through all firewalls the users had /corporate it's)
Everyone seems upset (publicly, though I suspect it has been kept private for a long time) right now about the App Store’s commissions on sales. How does this differ From, and why isn’t there an equal level of outrage over, the “service fees” that AirBNB or Uber charge?
It's a very nice example of Stockholm syndrome:
"They are the nice big brother inflicting pain to devs and users and restricting their rights, and it's probably my fault if they are not nice with me"
macOS running on ARM doesn't mean the App Store would be the only way to install software.

>I have a 16" with 8-cores and 64GB of ram at work

I'm jealous and genuinely curious where do you guys work that your employers can afford to get everyone such expensive machines.

I've been a dev in the EU for 8 years now and at most places I've worked or interviewed(not FAANG) the machines you get are some cheapo HP/Lenovo/Dell with only the executives having Apple hardware.

I never understood why companies in the west cheap out on hardware so much since compared to the cost of office rent and employee salaries that's a drop in the ocean, they could buy everyone MacBooks or Ryzen towers and it wouldn't even dent their bottom line.
These statements are so true. When our company had billing issues with in-app purchases, there were plenty of times that we wanted to refund people for their purchases and we had no way to do this on both Apple and Amazons platforms. We had to send them to Apple and Amazon customer service and we never knew if they got help or not. Google on the other hand actually made it very easy for us to find someone’s purchase and issue them a refund, but even with Google you are very removed from the customer and can’t directly contact them or find out much about the customer.
Responsiveness to demand is one thing. But even for steady-state generation, natural gas emits about half as much CO2 as coal.
Elaborating on verifiable facts that are relevant to the discussion?
Erratic government decisions can have severe consequences on businesses.

About time US companies realize that they need to have more fault tolerance to support their employees by open more global offices. This is especially true because the world outside is becoming more competitive and erratic business decisions like this will destroy product competitiveness.

As for foreign companies/entrepreneurs/would be business owners with capital, the US is shut. There is no need to do business here.
Visa holders already in the US still need to renew their Visa. If this order also suspends renewals then people are going to get kicked out of the country.
My educated guess is that the majority of this year's H-1B are already in the US. I wonder what it would mean for them.
DNS relies on central authorities, who can be and routinely are pressured to revoke identifiers for legal/political targets.

But it does mean that we don't have any evidence for this claim.

This would be a great place for a citation. I'm wondering how a twin study is going to show the effects of genetics on intelligence. As GP suggests, twin studies show differences in intelligence between even identical twins raised in the same household, so Amy conclusions from whatever study you're referencing would need to show statistically significant variation controlling for the noise.

Race realism is less of an extremist view than you seem to think it is (in that it's not an extremist view). Whether one infers extremist views from that position is another matter entirely.

There are multiple ways of operationalizing the notion of race. Some are prima facie invalid (usually these are used as straw men), some (as in the idpol/'woke' ideology's case) are incoherent and shallow but have political currency, and the rest are all valid within some range, conditional on context.

This is a great resource if you're interested:

You're not wrong, and beyond web pages some of these things could be PDFs or text files even.

My perspective is, if I'm not doing anything evil, why do I have to clear a complexity bar to publish an app? There are also some advantages for simple apps, one is making it really easy to use offline with a nice shortcut on the home screen. The other thing is making it full screen and no address bar helping to decrease distraction.

These are not amazing reasons, but they matter for some people.
Don't self-host. Just get Shopify and be done with it. You should be focused on running your business not fussing around with the tech. Any time you spend doing that is time you aren't spending on selling.

I wonder if they can make an exemption for the tech industry.

Feels like this is just going to accelerate the moves we've seen in the Bay Area towards companies going fully remote.

If this happens, the administration could see a lot of that money just leave the country altogether.
Scaling up the population of one country and comparing to the US is not going to be a valid comparison. Korea is comparable in size and population to California, but you would not judge the timing of the response of California against the response of, say, Kentucky.

Singapore is a bit smaller in population than the SF Bay Area, but you wouldn't judge the timing of the response of Bay Area measures vs., say, Miami.

There are 3 very good comparisons to make in Europe. Three different approaches and 3 different outcomes, in terms of peak cases, peak deaths, and timing of implementing various measures. Italy, Germany and Sweden would be better comparison/contrasts than Singapore vs. the USA. For the USA, compare on a regional basis versus the countries in the study.

Exaggerating to make the point, It's valid to do this type of analysis, but comparing the attributes of a scaled up mouse to an elephant isn't going to be of much value.
Not only that, but even if you can afford (both in time and money) to shop for honest, nutritional alternatives, how many people are really going to spend a significant amount of their time seeking out and acquiring these alternatives?

The OP talks about finding local sources of coffee and eggs, but many people would have no idea of where to get those, nor have any means of verifying that they were really what they claimed and not fraudulent.

As a consumer, I have no way of knowing if, for instance, the people hawking food at my local farmer's market (which I'm lucky enough to live within a convenient distance of) are really source their food locally or just pretend to. I have no means of verifying whether their food is really "organic", or is merely sold as such.

To take an example, the adulteration of "raw", "organic" honey with fillers like corn syrup is a serious problem.[1][2] An individual consumer has virtually no means at their disposal to determine which honey is genuine, short of becoming a beekeeper themselves or having a trusted beekeper friend, which is (I would venture to guess) the case for approximately 0% of the population.

The same goes for pretty much every other product. In aggregate, for all of the products a typical consumer buys, this can not be solved at an individual level.

I would bet money that Steve Jobs never intended to actually have web apps as the only type of apps on the iPhone.

Their native SDK was probably just not ready yet for the release and they knew about Android which they wanted to beat to market.
And yet everyone and their mother wanna move there no matter the price paid in uncertainty, pressure and mental health. They could try go to a country with a straight forward immigration process like Canada, but money is more important than anything else to some people.
> Throwing around buzzwords proves nothing

These are technical terms, not buzzwords and calling them so doesn't make much of a counter-argument.

> That's the essence of a free market

No it is not. You seem to equate free market with unregulated market which is not always true. Markets fail to self-regulate in the absence of open competition, which is what precisely the App Store on iPhone is. Nearly half of the mobile phone apps in the US comes from a closed market. Imagine instead Apple owned half of the roads in the US and stipulated what businesses could use those roads, e.g. only certain grocery store's trucks can deliver goods over them. That would be far from a free market too.
Do inflation stats not account for shrinkflation?
I love Whimsical. It's just so damn smooth and reliable.

All that being said, I think wanting one tool to serve not just designers but also product teams is probably too high of an expectation. We don't blame developer tooling if designers have a hard time making small updates to demonstrate design concepts. They're different domains, so different tooling is expected.
The name of http header is "Referer", you can't rely on that though. I'm wondering if Google allows that at all in 2020.

Anandtech has lots of details on these things.
TLS agility is definitely not the poster-child for a good implementation. I do not know if there is any cipher agility implementation I would really call good.

However, TLS is the prime example for why we desperately need agility anyways. Just look at the myriads of ways things broke just by trying to get TLS1.3 to work. And now imagine that totally without any agility mechanism. We would still plan for the big introduction of TLS1.3 a few years into the future.

I think a lot of Piaget's work has either been built on or pushed back on in more recent research, so while it definitely could be a good place to start I would make sure you also look into some more modern work. The other benefit of that is you can also reach out with questions, at least I've generally had good luck with getting responses from PIs. Laura Schulz is a super nice person who may have work of interest to you GP.
