How are you so sure this version of it so rampant everywhere? I am genuinely curious why so many people state this is such a common occurrence yet I have yet to see it myself personally.
> Israel agreed to suspend its planned extension of sovereignty

How magnanimous of them.
They fired the Servo team. Servo's CSS engine is shipping in Firefox. Servo's rendering engine was supposed to become the primary Firefox graphics engine. It's weird to call that a side project when it's clearly development aimed at becoming the basis of their primary product.
Yes, a little over a year ago for some successful titles.

It just goes to show 30% is far from unusual - especially in the gaming industry. In fact 30% seems to be the benchmark.

Retailers like Best Buy take 30% of video game sales too.

Here's an article with a useful graphic that shows the cut through common gaming distribution channels: https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/10/07/report-steams-30-cut...
I'm not very familiar with Startup School, can students who participated recently chime in about the amount of value obtained and time commitment involved? Is it possible to complete outside of PST business hours or are there real-time components? Thanks!
On the other hand, it is folly to ignore what professors are teaching, and what universities will tolerate or promote. Even if you dislike the messenger.
Also curious. I'm waiting, or even begging for something like flatpak on mac os just due to the number of times pip/npm/python in general has broken due to homebrew.
> electric cars generally charge at night and use about the same amount of power as an electric oven.

That does not sound right. Napkin math: A tiny Renault Zoe has a 52kWh battery. Even assuming 100% charging efficiency, charging for 8 hours over night you’re looking at 52/8=6.5kW per hour. That’s already more than twice as much as an oven, and an extremely conservative approximation.

edit: thanks for pointing out what I missed. I was somehow fixated on full recharges.
Ideally you'd be able to add the alternative store's public key to the existing snap client. Like you can do with existing package managers to include alternative repos
Letting Hamas have control of Gaza created a territory controlled by Hamas that produces weapons to the detriment of its people, that aims weapons at cities anywhere near it, and who teach violent extremism in their united nations funded schools (where hamas keeps winning elections for leadership too).

Many people in Israel will not accept a similar situation for the west bank, and will vehemently reject leftists without actual solutions. The settlements are a different faction than people who might vote for leftists if they had demonstrable solutions.
Companies can contribute too, you know. I'm sure there are some that would be negatively impacted by firefox going down. And besides, it is possible to measure the interest before committing.
Sorry but I'm not sure you understand how sideloading works on Android. You have to enable it explicitly for any app you want to sideload from (eg. your browser for a downloaded app, or an alternative app store like F-Droid). Afterwards, every app installation still needs to be manually approved and thus cannot be done hidden in the background. Seems pretty safe to me while still allowing more freedom to power users.

For games, 30% is not unusual for distribution.
> FF’s Quantum update, which brought in process (or thread?) per tab

It's something more complicated, to balance resources with stability. I don't know the rules, but for example I have 3 windows with ~700 tabs split across them, which appear to be using 6 processes with 193 threads. (Also I use Auto Tab Suspender, so that probably influences it as well)
Everyone should just start using Googles Cloud Build service IMO, it will cost you pennies. You can literally just do a `docker build -t gcr.io/project/image:0.0.1` and it will automatically tar up and send your build directly to their build service and create the container. It's about the cheapest and easiest build service I've seen.

They deliberately designed the software to not allow that without you forking. I mean, it is trivially easy for Canonical to just put the public key in a file and have Snap read from that key. Instead, they've hard-compiled it in.

Three years ago, I actually had a discussion with them about External Repositories. It's called "External Repositories?" on the forum and has, like, over 200 messages on it. They didn't budge one bit despite our arguments on why this was a very bad idea on their part.
At the onset of the Coronavirus, the media and medical advice was to NOT acquire masks for daily wear to prevent spreading. My knowledge from Asian nations encouraging masks wearing to spread the disease was counterfactual to what the government was saying.

The people at Star Slate Codex supposed that this was to limit a run on masks.

Dr. Faucci just last month admits, yeah we lied about it at the beginning to prevent a run on masks.

The conspiracy folks in this case were correct. I am not including myself in the echelons or intelligence the SSC provides, but smart people were able to suss our this was a conspiracy.
Because people consider more things when they choose a political party other than their views regarding the occupation? Most people in Israel wake up in the morning and their first thought isn't "what should we do about this occupation thing".

I would be shocked if it surpassed $2M/y. And that only pays for 10 engineers
The point of this option would be that those wouldn't go to CEO at all.
Enough billion dollar companies put their weight behind Docker that you'd think someone big is already running Docker hub pushing people to use their paid offerings, but that's not the case. Google created Kubernetes which is almost always used along with Docker, but they don't directly invest in Docker, Inc (at least, based on Crunchbase) and run their own container registry at gcr.io. The same goes for Amazon and Azure where their customers are increasingly moving to Docker instead of VMs, yet none of them directly back the company.
Apple will lose their entire Mac audience if this happens. Slowly, but surely.
I've noticed in my neighborhood, there's this guy who drives around in his old beat up pickup truck absolutely full of junk - broken air conditioners, fans, lamps, furniture, TVs, wood scrap, mangled bicycles, you name it. He picks up nearly anything you leave out in the alley, and breaks them down for scrap and recycling, or repairs it to resell. He drives by every day, and even though it's apparently a crime, he isn't prosecuted, and the community is thankful for his service. Our official "big trash" pick up is once a month, and some months it unexpectedly doesn't run, and the alley's would be quite full of trash without him.
I was quoting the developers. I'll take their word for it. Whether something is compiled or not is orthogonal. I need strong static typing, preferably with algebraic data types. Julia doesn't provide any of that, Rust provides all of that.
This is another nail in the coffin showing that America has forgotten how to build.

Anecdotally I have been shocked at just how complacent much of the American culture is. They're usually offended that you'd want things to be better, as though it's a shameful slight on them.

Someone once asked me what I thought could be improved. So I listed a few things. They turned around with "If you think it's so bad why dont you leave?". The fact that things are improvable doesnt mean they're bad.
Vox is, has always been, and always will be a midwit center-left propaganda organ whose mission is explicitly to tell people what to think. I find it hilarious and slightly terrifying there is an actual market for stemwinders like

"Facebook’s new voter information center gives Americans fact-checked voting information"

"How a homemaker with no political experience took on Europe’s longest-serving dictator"

"Can a college course in moral philosophy convince people to eat less meat?"

"Microsoft’s astonishing climate change goals, explained"

I guess as a business proposition to oligarchs, intelligence operatives and sinister public relations shysters who pay for it, this makes sense, but the idea of people actually reading and somehow enjoying this neoliberal lizard man gorp really tweaks my misanthropy. I try to picture them: foam-coffee drinking insurance adjusters working in their housecoats and grumbling at the unenlightened pipe-fitters who voted for the other old white guy, middle aged human soybean product managers making hellmouth when new star wars action figures come out, tattooed baristas who wish they had a job in a non-profit, unapologetic Elizabeth Warren voters who are a little uncomfortable with how her stances might affect their 401k, but who excrete perfectly round high fiber pellets... The world, apparently, has entirely too many of these.
Full circle achieved.

START
Run your own stuff on stuff you own.
Run your stuff on other people's stuff you rent.
This is too expensive to maintain at your rent. Pay us more.
Back to run your own stuff on stuff you own.
...and so on, and so forth.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why anything worth doing is worth actually doing yourself. Nothing is worse than building something conditionally feasible on someone else only to have the rug pulled out from under you by sudden business pivots.

But that's the nature of the beast I suppose. I've certainly not found a great way to do it any other way.
I like this idea a lot actually. I've been pondering of doing the same thing in Go.

There are some edges though... for example what if you want to do further composition based on if/else clause.
> Unfortunately, you are not the target audience, and expecting developers/publishers to pony up the dev time and money to placate an incredibly small portion of the market is a fantasy.

... except both Steam and GoG can do it isn't it? :)

> I also take issue with you calling exclusive games 'bribes'. They are looking out for their own self interest, and that includes not paying Steam a 30% cut on all of their sales. It's called competition, not a bribe.

No, the exclusives are paid money upfront on a certain amount of estimated sales, which they don't have to return no matter what the actual sales are. They're not going exclusive just for the lower commission.

Ref: https://gamerant.com/epic-games-store-exclusive-deal/

The juicy bit: When doing the math, looking at Fig's stake (50%) and the 85% dividend rate (how much Fig gives to investors), this means that Epic Games will have had to have given Snapshot Games approximately $2,247,058 for the Phoenix Point exclusivity rights.

> Also, denying that Fortnite has not made its mark on society is missing the forest for the trees. I don't play it, I have no desire to play it, but I can see how important it's been to the industry and how much it's effected society.

I'm sure the society would have been better without IAPs. Not all the marks something leaves are desirable.

Also, it's "affected". Random ref: https://www.diffen.com/difference/Affected_vs_Effected
I mean "Hash-set with Linked List" vs "Hash-set with linear probing". I realize I was getting lazy with my typing, so lemme try to be more clear this time.

Hash-set with Linked List is O(1) all cases.

Hash-set with linear-probing is O(n) worst-case insertion. But happens to be faster in practice with circa 2020-style CPUs (especially with Robin Hood insertion)

Assume the load-factor to be 90%+, so that we actually get a reasonable difference between the two strategies. We have a situation where O(n) is better than O(1).
Yeah one version really is an antediluvian limitation. The ideal state of this would be something like this: I can have 100 different versions of a library, stored on disk only once per each version, and any application I install could use the special version it wants as a shared library. Does NixOS provide this capability currently?
Facebook AI Chief Pushes the Technology’s Limits
I like Mozilla, I like Firefox, I like Rust, I like that they offer a remote work option, that they're kind of the anti-Google in a way (even while taking $$ from Google, but whatever). I like their whole philosophy at a certain level. But when I interviewed with them last year I honestly could not understand where the money was coming from to pay for all the perks and compensation and the offices and the bi-annual company-wide gatherings, etc. And the number of people!. Etc. The whole thing seemed... too much ... for what they needed to do.

(Don't get me wrong, I am not underestimating the complexity of their browser -- I work full-time in the Chromium code base, so I have a pretty good idea what a modern browser looks like inside.)

In any case the position wasn't a fit. I didn't get my chance to say no to it because the team I interviewed with didn't think I was a fit either (for imho dubious reasons, but whatever). But from talking to people work there... I dodged a bullet big time.

I wish them the best, but I didn't get the impression from the letter and the composition of the layoffs that the rethinking is really happening.

I am personally a fan of more lean solutions than apt, but there are several on Linux, like pacman (Arch), apk, (Alpine), Portage etc.

Install: pacman -S <package>

Remove: pacman -R <package>

Pacman is not tied specifically to Arch either.
> there were heavy clashes with police, but no destruction of private property (at least not deliberately by protesters)

I think this is the key distinction. Protesting against injustice by government is one thing. Perpetrating further injustices is another.
Sherry here. You made a good point. I wrote the first line of code exactly 2 years ago, at that time, we couldn't even find the infrastructure that is hipaa compliant (like messaging api etc), and we have to build everything on our own. We observed the rise of digital health in the last two years, which used to be a niche space. In fact, GoodRx is about to launch a telemedicine marketplace, to address the "hard to choose" issue you mentioned.

Healthcare is complicated, I think you would agree with me. It is a highly regulated industry, complicated ecosystem: physician, payers, patients, hospitals etc. To disrupt this industry, one company is not enough, so I actually think popularity of digital health startups is a good thing in general to really push the consumer adoption and the regulation to catch up.

In the cancer space, the quality of the services are super important - save lives. One good example is Memorial Sloan Kettering (MSK) - where Lily used to work at. MSK treats cancer only and does it super well. Patients from all over the world will come to treat there. We are the first mover and we want to be the "MSK" in digital space.

We are partnering with other parties in the ecosystem, if you are interested, here are more details: https://www.forbes.com/sites/berenicemagistretti/2020/08/05/...

We think our direct to consumer channel really helped the patients, as we already served many patients who would not be able to access the care easily. For example, they are in rural areas, or they live in places that do not have good cancer centers, or they are too busy to go to the hospitals, etc. We see the huge needs there. That is also the original drive why we started this company.

Regarding the product, we are still iterating the product for sure. Cancer is different from flu. It usually involves survey, chemo, radiation and others. It is quite complicated and the treatment could last 6 months to 1 year. Patients have questions all the time during the long period, that is why we think our chat solution could really add value. Thanks for suggestions on payers side collaboration.
What business practice is that? Providing hosting, distribution, payment processing, and marketing to an audience of millions of customers, then asking for some amount of revenue in return?

The core issues at play with Apple have always been: (1) there's no competition, and (2) 30% is too high. The EGS makes strides in fixing both of these issues: Game developers are not forced to release on EGS, as there are a dozen competitors on Windows, and the revenue share is now 12%. Epic does sign exclusivity deals with third-parties, which often have multi-million dollar values to them (they paid ~$10M to Remedy for one-year exclusive rights to Control); again, while we can argue about the negative impact this has on consumers, its very positive for developers.
Python thinks

Creative Computers Are Already Around the Corner
Tern is designed to help with this sort of thing: https://github.com/tern-tools/tern#dockerfile-lock

It can take a Dockerfile and generate a 'locked' version, with dependencies frozen, so you at least get some reproducibility.

But that's a justification for creating settlements anywhere Hamas is, which is all of Palestine.

"We must build settlements on contested land, because Hamas is building rockets, because we are on contested land, because we must build settlements on contested land, because Hamas is building rockets..."
There's a lot of either/or false dichotomy being discussed in here. Distro packaging (or not) comes with various tradeoffs of course, some good or bad depending on perspective.

To get to the point, I quite prefer the package manager way of installing software to "hunt down a single release" app installers of Windows/Mac. The only issue is that sometimes software is a bit out of date. That's what the snap/flat pack/appimage projects are trying to solve.

As soon as one of those three get their user-hostile issues fixed, it will be a software paradise. :D

It's the only point they should be prosecuted for: not paying taxes, but that's it.

Writing wrappers to interface c++ libraries with most common scripting languages is (usually) pretty easy. Probably much more so than trying to roll an entire HTTP server in C++.
fyi... just cause you get a 404 error doesn't mean the site is down, it might mean you are blocked. IIS for example has the request filtering module inwhich you can return a status code when a certain filter is hit. it is very easy to create a filter where is a query parameter is over a certain character limit to return a 404 (filters are just regular expression). this is why you should always check a site from https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/downforme.com

> This sounds to me like seriously bad API design

this illustrates the sad irony of unix's genius. All the people who think like Dave Cutler (or whoever) are eager to bring Cutlerian ideas to unix. But unix is where they are bringing these ideas because unix is what won, and unix won because it did not make Cutlerian design choices.

I'm not saying that an API call that did the right thing wouldn't be great for a programmer; just that there are a lot of (simple) things going on in the kernel and tradeoffs for a simple userspace security model and some of this comes with that territory. And neither am I saying that a Cutlerian model is theoretically unsound. But things play out practically and this is how things have played out, and observers along the way discussed it the whole time.

More to say for sure, but please forgive me. My comment is for people who understand what I'm talking about. Explaining to people who don't understand is a useful and noble thing, but this ground has been covered so many times over ("worse is better"), and it's very detailed and historical and somewhat subtle, and I have limited time atm.
I feel like the main response should be "OK, we'll just host our own Docker Registry."

This has been available as a docker image since the very beginning, which might not be good enough for everyone, but I think it will work for me and mine.
Though I think the Parity License is a clearer license than FSF-endorsed copyleft licenses such as the GPL, my point still stands if you substitute one of those licenses.

The app is universally loved and has very few direct competitors, but unfortunately, due to the technologies exclusive to macOS that it relies on, the developers are not considering releasing it on Windows and Linux. So I guess these are only options available then...
If it's a reasonable cut for the service then they should have no fear of competition from other payment services.
It’s still WebKit under the hood isn’t it?

It looks like if anyone pulls an image within 6 months, then the counter is reset. It seems like it's not too onerous to me—for any of the OSS images I've maintained, they are typically pulled hundreds if not thousands of times a day.

Sometimes I don't push a new image version (if it's not critical to keep up with upstream security releases) for many months to a year or longer, but those images are still pulled frequently (certainly more than once every 6 months).

I didn't see any notes about rate limiting in that FAQ, did I miss something?

I've heard complexity science folks entertain the premise that a riot (or any non-equilibrium social order) is perhaps like a phase transition in the social strata of complex matter (like how boiling or combustion is a phase transition in the physical, molecular strata of matter).

A forest isn't a forest if it's always on fire, but the system of the forest is often in equilibrium only when forests are swept with fire every so often. A similar logic might be part of a complete political theory.
Isn't this good? I mean if you are a distribution you compile the software yourself so you can add the distribution keys (there are some that don't compile stuff ).

Probably you are thinking there should be atext file in your home where you could add new signature to be sued, but that could be a security issue so probably needs to be something more safe,did any serious patch was sent to improve this and was it rejected or why we expect Canonical to prioritize this over other issues?

They cut 25% of their workforce. That's 250 people. Figure all-in loaded cost of $200K per person let go, and that's $50 million in budget they cut. Mitchell Baker had made $2.5 million. You don't get $50 million out of non-technical cuts.
