That doesn't make any sense.
Being an anti-vaxxer is simply stupid, proven by real numbers and repeated experiments.
Meanwhile, there are a lot of fair criticisms to OOP. Of course, a lot of them arise due to the fact that the skill floor for software development is quite low nowadays, but then again if we were all that smart, we'd just write C and C++ at the speed of light for everything.
P.S: Rewriting hackernews in a functional stack is trivial
Good article, but this is very basic and probably targeted towards new programmers coming from the other languages (not c++).

Using templates in D is very intuitive and is a nice experience when we come from C++ land. We get to use . (dot) operator for everything and that's a real win.
i could see this possibly be challenged by courts , possibly up to the supreme court
This looks like such a mismatch.

Also, does it make sense to pay the rumoured $50 billion for a company with no moat? Even US revenue expectations for this year were $0.5 billion.

For me (as a former Anything But Apple guy), the realization came when I discovered that every problem I’ve ever had with my phone was caused by me screwing something up. I put up with this on my computers, but my phone isn’t something I want to take chances on. It’s got too much data and it’s too critical to my everyday life to have it broken constantly. I just can’t trust myself not to install launchers and root the phone and see if I can get Debian running in a chroot and... whoops bricked it.

I switched to iPhone with the 5s and have’t looked back. I like not being able to break my phone because of my poor decision making skills. I do my hacking on my computer where the consequences are lower and its easier to fix.
And Apple didn’t force you to buy the phone....
Really cool! The accompanying article notes that the portraits are an attempt to visualize the person at the time of their death, which makes you realize how many of these emperors died very young.
Not everyone made apps before Apple. In thoese times the developer got the 30% and the store keept the remaining 70%.
Of course often after download, and credit card fees.

I get it, everyone wants always more. And maybe there is more room. Many just view it from their own point of view.
Agree. I'm curious if it becoming a US-owned app means it would struggle in China.
It clearly doesn't fix itself, because both Apple and Google are taking a 30% cut.

You're assuming efficient markets. The App Store is a monopoly, i.e. the opposite of an efficient market. (Well, it's more nuanced, all markets are somewhere between efficient and monopolistic.)
> and use it to spy on the Chinese

How? Are you suggesting that Douyin will be included in the purchase?
Nobody forces you to buy a Ford or a Chevy either but both of those manufacturers have to follow very strict rules about how they make and sell cars.

If our country decides to make a rule about how smart phones should be created, sold or operated and Apple doesn’t like it, they can go and do business somewhere else.

I'm wondering what the objection is against this. There might be a conflict of interest in allowing an employee to share a bounty with a friend by giving the friend their password, but the rules of the bounty (and the employment contract) should be able to prevent that scenario.

In theory, any sensitive operation (such as changing the email address of a verified account) could be made to require approval from a second (randomly chosen) employee, and that second employee should see a log of recent actions taken by the first employee. An attacker may still manage to avoid raising suspicion for the first few targets, though.
I've never really gotten the hate towards OOP. It's always logically made sense to me. It follows along the path of abstraction and encapsulation computers had been moving steadily towards. It just takes the concept of a function, packages it together with some kind of data, keeps the internal workings separate from the rest of the program and allows one to reuse or extend those small pieces.

It may not be the best way of abstracting above procedural programming, it's not suitable for everything, it's easy to use poorly, but it's there and it does have benefits and can exist peacefully along side other paradigms.
Never overestimate the intelligence of teenager either.

Quite possibly. I do know it's common to the point of being a trope that some graduate students are just in graduate school to defer having to enter the work-force. Some see it as a way to put off having to make major decisions or processes like job hunting. Not like there's no real reason some opt to do things like that. It is markedly easier to accept scholarships and do the grad school circuit than find a job if you have mid to high grades.
To me stoicism is helpful in the sense of the advice one gets in jujitsu: If taking one grip on something isn't getting you the leverage you want, don't grip it harder, let go and take a different grip.

Stoicism can't help if you're just getting traumatized, but a lot of "I feel awful about the world generally" sentiment boils down to having a tense grip on one's worldview, a rigid set of norms leading to the judgment that it is all wrong and terrible and thus to a kind of flagellatory self-harm. Nature as a whole, on the other hand, is indifferent - the "is" instead of the "ought". We learn many oughts when we're young, but they all deserve examination.

Tiktok grabs your IMEI number, amongst numerous other things and sends them back to the mother ship.

Not saying that other platforms don't collect data, but Tiktok is known for being a whole other level spyware. If Apple was truly trying to protect consumers, there's no way it would allow it.

I never stole $100,000 when I was a kid. Sometimes 17-year olds murder other people too. Society can't ignore it just because he's a minor. If he had posted memes, that would be one thing. But instead he decided to use this hack to commit grand theft.

Any leniency due to his age will come from the Judge.
Not touching the whole heft of the argument, I would like to point out that the original poster didn't compare the difficulty of writing a hit song to a "hit app", he compared a creating a hit song with creating working software.

I can co-sign on this part of his premise. I worked for a music producer who has a number of #1 hits (Beyonce, Fergie, John Legend etc). He wrote >1 songs per day almost every day for over a decade.

His success ratio (hit vs placement vs nothing) was much lower than any mediocre software engineer trying to make working software over the same period of time.

It feels safe to say that in a 365 day period, a software developer can reasonably expect significantly more than one of those days to be used in 'working software' right?
Neither did AT&T.
Probably, yes. It’s more of a political proposition and societal debate. How much do we value culture? I do agree he is probably on some expectancy rail that he cannot or doesn’t want to forgo.
But now you have a stale data problem.
Yes. Apple's rules oblige app vendors to not advertise or link to any external method of signing up for a service.

So, not only can you can only use Apple's payment methods, but you have to lie (by omission) to consumers about their options.

This is the market distortion of the App Store.
In high school, I had a part time job planting trees, but knew I was going to a university that I was proud to get accepted to and excited to have that opportunity. But kind of thinking maybe I shouldn't brag about that to the other kids who were doing this same job, but wouldn't have the same opportunities for higher education as myself.

Then one day, the subject came up, and the other guys were like "Thank god I'm graduating and won't have to waste any more time reading and studying and sitting in a classroom. I can work outside and make money instead."

And I realized not everyone's path to happiness is the same.

On the flip side:

I spent another summer working with a couple older gentlemen driving a tractor. I said something like "This isn't so bad, working outside, breathing fresh air."

They told me in no uncertain terms "Get a job doing something in an office with air conditioning, you don't want to still be out here doing this when you're our age."

> 3400G has a 33% faster CPU

Right. That's not a significant upgrade IMO. I'm not even sure it would be worth it if it merely required a CPU swap. Since it actually requires a new motherboard, it's not even close to worth it.

A real upgrade would be to a 3900X (passmark: 32861), or at the very last, a 3600 (passmark: 17828). But those require a discrete GPU.

The 4700G looks like it would more or less suffice (passmark: unknown, ~18k?) , but it won't be sold to individuals, only OEMs.

> 3.25x the GPU.

As far as I can tell, I've never run into any limits of the 4770K's iGPU, so I don't think this matters. Running dual 1920x1200 monitors.

Individually. Sometimes a few things are combined when a good option is available, but generally multivitamins don't give me what I want in the doses that I want.

Since I tested all of my blood metrics beforehand, it's unlikely the market would have a 'perfect' vitamin for me. Especially since most of what I like to take isn't technically a vitamin.

My diet is currently pretty un-optimized, so although I would prefer to consume a lot of things via diet, it's not guaranteed at all. But the extra bio-availability and such is likely nice
That actually had a dominant market position on desktop/laptops and still do. Apple does not have a dominant market position in laptops, desktops or mobile phones.

> Yes, but in CDL the relevant variable is the number of copies lent.

No, CDL very clearly outlines 6 different criteria by which it should work.[1] One of those criteria is:

limit the total number of copies in any format in circulation at any time to the number of physical copies the library lawfully owns (maintain an “owned to loaned” ratio);

It does not state 1:1, just that some ratio is maintained, and even if that one criteria were to be ignored, there are 5 other criteria just as important to the process, such as ensuring that each digital copy goes to a single person, and that the digital copy prevents additional copying, and that it's limited by time.

Whether they qualify for the moniker of CDL when not following one of those six criteria is debatable, but notably it's not what we're debating here, which is whether it's accurate to call what they did "uncontrolled" because it was called controlled previously (even if that's a name library marketing made up for this). Given all the other controls in place (likely every other criteria listed for CDL), I would say it definitely was not "uncontrolled".

I think lumping this in with health and safety regulations is a super weak argument. In fact it’s no argument, the two are clearly not comparable at all.

I’ll accept the comparison to credit card fees though. As I said I’m not against all oversight of any kind. I just don’t think the 30% is all that high.
People who see it happen don't even have enough hard details to confirm it to themselves aside from the fact that they're witnessing it firsthand. The best I can do, for example, is to say that at FB I worked with someone who was very well known as a very highly ranked IC, and that the comp in the band he was known to be in is astronomical (1m+ annually). Another factor is that we don't want to dox ourselves by giving out biographical details that would otherwise have built a case. This particular engineer had built foundations of particular unprecedented things within industry with enormous current relevance, even to laymen, before acquiring their current rank. I can't get more specific than that, but $1m is absolute peanuts compared to the size of the market sectors these engineers have a hand in shaping.
> WHY IN HELL they have so much actual cash piling up

In 1997, Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy [1]. That experience deeply scarred the company's culture. Prior to that, Apple didn't hoard cash (relative to revenues). Afterwards, it did.

At this point, the instinct is overplayed. But cultures are difficult to change. So the obsession with runway remains.

>I don't know, tbh. But to my understanding, it was not profitable before the acquisition. It does generate ~5 billion dollars in revenue now, but Microsoft won't tell you how much of that is profit.

> It's not a whim

Saying stuff like "Google and Apple should be forced to fund the W3C and/or Mozilla" is absolutely a whim. This would be an absurd government overreach.

> They're sucking all of the air out of the environment, making it incredibly difficult to gain traction on your own.

You can absolutely succeed today without Apple. Apple is a minority player in the mobile device segment.

Perhaps Apple is more profitable for developers. But they are not a monopoly in this space yet and do not warrant anti-trust.

> Apple wouldn't be where they are today if the US Government hadn't intervened against Microsoft and forced them to pay Apple.

Microsoft, on the other hand, was a monopoly (and still is, in many ways).

> Can you imagine if those industries could act however they wanted?

Can you imagine what will happen if we keep giving the government more and more power to do what they want? See: Australia's government forcing encryption backdoors into every service.

Giving the government more and more power over companies that don't yet even constitute a monopoly is a recipe for disaster.

> Companies aren't people.

And yet companies are property, private entities, etc. Just because companies aren't people doesn't mean they are toys for the government to manipulate and control in any way they want under the guise of "antitrust regulation."
You are not wrong but you are glossing over the fact that by "digital transactions" you seem to actually mean "transactions brokered by a third party".

USD also works the way you describe. I may write someone a check based on a fraudulent premise then later demand my money back. If they have already cashed that check and run then the money is gone from their account and there is no way to reverse the transaction. The bank may charge them, cancel their account, pay me back anyway, etc. These are all actions taken by the third party broker.

With USD the accountability of my_account -> check -> fraudsters_account -> cash is all part of the third party's (the bank's) system.

With BTC, this chain of accountability (my_wallet -> transaction -> fraudsters_wallet) is part of the currency itself.

If the fraudster is later caught and their fraudulent gains seized, with BTC I can prove which of those fraudulent gains came from my wallet and be reimbursed with potentially little technical fuss.

My point is that your point may be true of the systems built to handle transactions made with bitcoin but is not true of bitcoin itself.

I hate the fact the both Apple's App Store as well as Google's Play Store do not offer basic search filters. In particular for my kids, I'd love to be able to search for games without ads or in-app purchases. But Apple and Google do not offer this feature because it would hurt their revenues. That's why I'd love to have a good alternative to the App Store or Play Store.
> The manufacturer of the device is within their rights to ship the software/hardware experience they want it to have.

This is the same logic people use to block modification of movies, music, books, video games, etc.

"The artist wants you to experience their art a specific way and the ability to [censor profanity/add zombies/change the ending/remix it] wrests control from the creator and allows people experience their art in a way they didn't intend, which is bad"

Curiously though, these people never mention altering food as destroying the experience the chef wanted them to have. For some reason consumers are allowed to have food preferences that modify art, but not preferences that modify other types of art.
Isn't this an argument against any company/monopoly? No company forced anyone to buy anything.

Let's see some definitions:

Google - the owner of the park

Video makers - kids playing in the park and playing music while playing

Music authors - are still music authors

Koda - the guy that comes to the park owner and demands that the park owner pays them for the fact that there's music playing in the park and may compensate the musicians (let's just call this guy a racketeer)

The scenario - park owner comes to the park, turns off the music and makes the park a quiet zone(no more music). The racketeer goes to people on HN and complains that park owner isn't paying him more and turned off the music.
> I'm actually very surprised that this freedom-loving public here on HN is so happy let governments force private entities to do anything they want under the thinly-veiled guise of antitrust.

I don't want Apple and Google taking 30% of my profit. How hard is it as a startup to yield that much of your profit margin for such a stupid reason?

Google and Apple own compute. How the fuck did we let that happen?

The government needs to push these entities aside to ensure further innovation can continue.
