Shouldn't it be easy thanks to Zuckerberg and Co to profile the Personality Trait distributions of any assembling group?

I mean given what marketing teams are able to do these days, in real time, I think any bunch of Violent Trait holders assembling anywhere will be straight forward to identify.

Anyways alternative reading list for the non-violent crowd - Gandhi specifically the Champran Agitation, the Rowlatt Act(non-coop movement), and then the Salt march.

What I liked about it is he didn't react to an issue by just giving speeches, blaming anyone or mindlessly protesting. He would go to the site of the issue with qualified people and work the problem. Gain support through those actions, across all kinds of social, cultural, religious, linguistic boundaries, no one thought possible. And that would freak out the powers that be for whom divide and conquer is the default method of clinging to power.

Nothing freaks them out more than when 2 groups that dont get along march together. And thats when they start making compromises.
All Apple has to do to fix this is allow sideloading. They don't need to change the App Store's rules—they can make them more stringent, actually—and you can set up your child's phone to block non-App-Store installations. Heck, Epic would probably cave and accept the cost to keep Fortnite in the App Store; they tried to go around Google Play, and it seemingly didn't work out.
It's definitely the case that some of the ELF header fields can be repurposed to store additional data, the following articles all address that optimization:

https://www.pimzero.com/2020/04/19/golf_so.html
https://rpis.ec/blog/plaidctf-golfso/

There are also a few instructions in the article that are size-suboptimal (e.g. "movl $4, %eax" is 5 bytes (b804000000), while the equivalent "xor %eax, %eax; movb $4, %al" is only 4 bytes (31c0b004)).
Sure, and more to the point, currencies tend to be bootstrapped by some value that backs it (gold, oil or even just faith).
Isn't that the same as EINTR with a different name?

And what happens if some bytes have made it to disk, network, or pipe? Don't you want to tell the caller how many, in case they want to recover somehow?

Congrats, you reinvented the status quo.

One improvement would be to separate the error indication from bytes written. Then you could have a write that fails, with nonzero output. Windows' API allows for this, but I don't know how common it is. It would probably be a source of bugs the same way these write(2) corner cases we are talking about are.
The biggest limitation for embedded Rust development tends to be "does LLVM support your CPU?" If not you may be able to hack something together but you're not going to have a great time. If so, there's still a broad range of experiences between "people are actively writing Rust for this board and there are tons of crates exposing the hardware with nice APIs" and "you can get Rust code running on this board". I'm not an embedded developer but I've dabbled enough in the space to believe that Rust is going to do very well there. The development experience is so bad for most existing cases and there aren't a lot of other viable options (unlike for folks writing desktop or server software).
Why would anyone want to acquire them after they sold off the majority of their client base?

How are they justifying this? A linked blog post goes into more detail: https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/news/announcing-epi... but it seems like they are extending the payment processing tools which they built for web to mobile. There are loopholes but not clear which one they're claiming to use (if any).

They might ask why we don't live in human-scale communities where our friends and family are a short walk, for one. Where and when are our festivals, and why do we separate grandparents from grandchildren, to live lonely lives of isolation with the meager substitute of electronic communication for human contact?

Makes sense. I don't get how Docker could offer so much free hosting in the first place. I know storage is cheap, but not this cheap. Eventually they're going to need to make these rules more stringent.
Great, I'll switch to them as soon as they release a Linux and Android version.
Steam's monopoly is very different from Apple's since they only operate on already-open platforms. You can easily distribute your x86 game via any other store or your own launcher/website with little issue (only having to deal with the Oligopoly that is EV Code Signing, which you still might need to do while on Steam/Epic/etc). On Apple's platform, you have to go through them no matter what, making it impossible to put an app on iOS devices without their approval.

(In case it will change, original title was "Air pollution is much worse than we thought")

The whole piece reads like political propaganda anti fossil fuels. (Which might be what you are looking for, but not what I expected from the title). Only about 10% of the text is about the air pollution aspect of using fossil fuels, these 10% are buried somewhere in the middle and basically come down to linking to a couple of studies. Are they even new studies? Additionally there is some mentioning of the phrase "air pollution" in sentences that give no new information whatsoever and discuss the various political and societal movements tangentially related to it...

If you are looking for legit reliable information, this piece will hurt your mind to even read. Even the writing style feels like political agitation and not information.
(It would actually make more sense if GPT-3 wrote this.)
Games aren't cheaper because Valve doesn't allow them to be cheaper on other storefronts, it's part of the agreement you sign with them to be on Steam.

Windows only is fine. From a purely pragmatic point of view, other platforms are such a small fraction of the gaming market, it really doesn't make sense to support them. Companies have tried supporting OSX and Linux for years (decades?) now, but there just aren't enough players to justify it (much less than 5%).

There is absolutely nothing wrong with Epic paying developers for exclusivity. There is fundamentally nothing different about that than Valve selling their own first-party game exclusively on their own store (Half-life, Portal, DOTA, etc).

If you don't know about Epic's contributions to gaming, then you're just out of touch. Fortnite is a huge deal, but there's also stuff like Gears of War, and of course Unreal Engine 4 itself.

I absolutely do think if Epic wins, it will be better both for consumers and game developers like myself. I don't think you understand the mindset of Tim Sweeney if you think he is super monopolist.
Only if you have no dependencies and interact in no way with any platform-specified services.

Now certainly there are platform-specific things with Rust as well, but the defaults are structured in such a way that exposed APIs are more likely than not to be platform independent--you have to go out of your way to break compatibility, rather than it being the default.

And once you get your binary to compile, the static linking means there isn't runtime dependencies that might break either.

The net result is that given a piece of rust code, it is far more likely than its C equivalent to compile on a new platform. And once it does compile, it can be run in any context without concern for differences in the runtime environment. The Rust compiler may target fewer platforms, and therefore be "less portable" in that sense, but if it is a supported backend then it is going to be easier to get the code working.
Also that the same famine struck other places but the administration handled it in Ireland catastrophically poorly.
Because then Apple would have to implement alternative payment methods into the App Store, which seems unreasonable. They're arguing that inside the app it's the developer's responsibility to handle payments however they see fit.
I'm hopeful and generally agree with your points, actually. The Tesla value prop is very much the seamless/tight experience, and that has its pros and cons much does Apple vs others. Consumers win when there's both. My overall point is that there is a slice of the market that they've so far successfully cornered and I think they'll retain it as long as they can scale the quality and service. That doesn't mean they'll dominate and leaves plenty of room for the other players who can make the transition.
I am a heavy gamer, both table and electronic.

In our market at least many companies gunning for the enthusiasts are completely screwing the normal users, not helping them in any way.

1. MTG fans been complaining a for years that some cards have not been reprinted and are literally essential to the game, new players need those cards. The manufacturer reaction was launch a product that does have those cards but in a sky high price point, when players complained they literally replies that the product wasn't for them, it was aimed at the luxury market. How that helps the low end? Not only just the possible buyers, but current players that can't have new play partners because new play partners can't afford to hunt on secondary market for basically mandatory game pieces.

2. Ana Android F2P game I play decided to go full pay to win while denying it, they launched a new piece of armor that makes your character drastically better on ranked matches, and then proceeded to make it cost a currency that the free players can get only half of the price of the piece of armor, to get the rest of the currency needed you need to pay some 200 USD.

When players complained the main dev wrote a extremely rude answer on the forums that also made clear all he cares about is getting money from big spenders, the currency to get the item in question is not available to even the vast majority of paying players, not even subscription players can get it, you need to buy that separate expensive pack. As for why people care about the ranking? Well, the reward for doing well is permanent character buffs, that there is no way to get in other manner, thus reinforcing the pay to win aspect.

3. There is a certain game publisher that found out profits can be made with DLC, now they launch then at breakneck speed AND lock essential features behind them. Whenever they update the game alongside DLC they balance the game in a way that it is not fun without the DLC, making them mandatory. I found out even UI buttons get shut down (example: one patch fixed AI notorious stupidity by letting players ask allies to follow them instead of wandering around in stupid manner. But the button that you click to do so, is part of the DLC. Or in other case sometimes you have a huge list of things to decide, you need to click on each item one by one, or but the DLC that adds a button on the interface to do the same action to the entire list). Another case with same publisher: updates literally removed features of the game, added new mechanics to compensate, but those are DLC.
this was absolutely crucial.

The problem I have with non-free software isn't that it's free, but that the community and support are much, much worse than OSS alternatives.

Back in the site-backed-by-CMS days, I was always on the lookout for something better than Wordpress. Every time I thought I landed on a good alternative, I'd start to hunt down some esoteric needs that just didn't exist, and discussions with the staff who ran said solutions were usually fruitless. Meanwhile, the answer to literally any problem with Wordpress was just sitting there on Stack Overflow.

Today I've moved on to JAMstack, and while everything is massively superior from both a consumer and developer perspective, the headless CMS offerings — which seem like a natural fit for the OSS world — are mostly proprietary and very, very expensive. It feels just like trying Wordpress alternatives, where the support is uncommunicative and the community is nonexistent.

My clients can afford to pay for a good headless CMS, but I'm seriously considering using Wordpress API for "headless" because the paid options are a pain in the ass.
> How is that not a walled garden?

Huh? When people talk about iOS being a walled garden they're referring to the fact that iOS apps can only be bought and sold via Apple. Consumers on that platform have no alternatives, and if Apple doesn't want a given app sold then it can't be bought.

EGS exclusives are nothing like that - anybody can sell PC games any way they like. If some particular developer chooses to sell their game via EGS and not other stores, that's up to the developer.

It's not a walled garden if people can enter and exit any time they like.
> zero downtime deployments

These two things run in conflict. It’s not about not dropping requests - It’s about a sane state and error reproducibility. If you drag the wrong file, there will be plenty of downtime...
Indeed. Perhaps they could join gorces with the Ungoogled Chromium project:

Something like #pragma simd may actually be worse than letting GCC do its thing. It may not use FMA, just AVX, for instance. You may also want (a subset of) -ffast-math for NEON, reductions, etc., if your code is OK with it.

Small nitpick: SQLAlchemy is not just an ORM, it provides a lot of functionality to interact with SQL databases without mapping results to objects.
Competition is great. But epics approach is dirty. A false hero to Developers and publishers.
It likely won’t make a difference unless you use VMs.
it's great if you decide to upgrade your CPU a couple years later and you motherboard is still compatible, but imo this is not a good reason to choose a particular platform in the first place. you never know when the CPU manufacturer is going to drop support for that chipset. even if the new CPU does support the old chipset, you might be sacrificing some new features or leaving some performance on the table. plus if I'm going to buy a high-end cpu, I'd like to pair it with a high quality power delivery also, which you probably aren't going to find in a college student's budget build.
Israel of course has non official relationship with most of the neighboring countries and very close with the UAE. Nothing new. It’s the Palestinians they need to make peace with.

Isn't the cut 70% for inapp purchases? I'm all for this, but there seems to be a 10% gap?
Encouraging competition can be done without hurling callous statements and consumer entitlement.

As a retail business owner, I find 80% of our consumers sound and reasonable. The 20% - we never want their business. We keep our best to not anger them and most of our energy goes into maintaining the public image of our company.

There are some real asshole customers that do things you never want to hear - stuff that makes me lose hope in humanity.
Congrats on the launch! I too am in the healthcare technology industry, but I've consciously been staying clear of the telemedicine space. It just seems extremely saturated especially these days in a post-COVID era.

Last I checked there are over 500 active telemedicine companies out there.

How do you plan on differentiating yourselves outside of your specialist physician-base? And how will you get the tool in front of users? I feel like SEO will be challenging and you may have to rely on grassroots/guerilla marketing approaches partnering with hospitals/payers to showcase the total cost value saving of using your product.

A similar use case I've seen is in my city a doctor friend just launched her own SMS care service, which acts as a "buffer" before medicare recipients call 911. By getting their less serious questions answered and thus discouraged from "abusing" ambulatory services, the payers (CMS) are very happy paying for this service on a per patient basis. They then market the tool to their patients and even provide financial incentives for using it. Just an idea of how you can spread!

Your comment resonates deep with me.

Although I will shamefully admit that I was one of the naysayers. I might have even called someone a Conspiracy Nut in a prior conversation, with my perception of the person being obsessed with potential NSA spying / collection.

Oh, how wrong I was.

Side note: I find it interesting that a period of time developed where any type of deep curiosity into government activity was enough to get oneself stamped as a Conspiracy Nut. If I were the person pumping these narratives and troupes out, I'd be very happy with my result, in retrospect.
Any explanation for why parent comment was downvoted?

Of course they could do that, but any corporation or LLC that does business in California [1] (surely a Uber driver operating in California would be considered as such) has to pay the fee. Incorporating out of state would just mean a second set of fees and more forms to file.

Also, Mozilla has had revenue from other search providers, like Yahoo:

https://gizmodo.com/yahoo-s-insanely-bad-deal-to-pay-mozilla...

So I don't think their position is as fragile as people suggest. The problem is declining market share, not that they are tied to Google per se. (Of course Google is by far the strongest search engine, but it's plausible that Mozilla could survive with Bing.)
> My money is on Apple cracking down hard on this.

Of course, but that's beside the point. This is bait. Epic can point to it later as an example of how Apple's anti-competitive practices increase consumer prices. The worst-case scenario for Epic is that Fortnite gets removed from the App Store for a few days.

...well, I guess the worst worst-case scenario for Epic is that Fortnite gets banned permanently, but I don't see Apple doing that.

Absolutely any list that omits these three technologies is fundamentally flawed. React was originally created to replace the "View" component of Backbone.

Pretty sure that's the point OP was trying to make - they put in the effort to build microservices, and crappy tooling means they are instead stuck with an mangled over-engineered monolith
Relying on goodwill works until that goodwill stops. Store your images locally at least as a backup, but it has other advantages.
They already bill all developers yearly.
This could also be solved by one person running a service that would crawl all public docker images and pull those that are close to expiration automatically every 6 months. At this moment I'm just curious how much resources would be needed for that
> Does this mean Epic will start allowing users of the Epic Games Store on PC to directly pay game developers and bypass the EGS cut?

If you follow Tim Sweeney and Epic's history surrounding "app store cuts", you'd know that they've always stood on the side of developers. The EGS stands among the lowest app store cuts of any marketplace, at 12%, and Tim has become visibly angry during public appearances concerning Apple, Google, etc and their 30% cut.

Additionally, we're talking about a platform that disallows any alternative installation and distribution mechanisms. The PC ecosystem is vibrant, unlike the forced one-app-store on iOS and the defacto-one-app-store on Android. If a developer wants to control their cut on Windows, they can sell via their own site, or itch.io (which allows developers to select what percentage itch.io receives), or Steam and their 30% cut, or wherever they'd like.
The paper is part of the standardization effort but is not the final authority on the process. It is a very good reference on how to approach streaming SQL, even though the Jet model will have a few differences to the presented paper.

p.s.: sorry for the late reply (somehow I wrote and didn't publish).
Lucky you. Wells Fargo are terrible.

Seriously, do some research. I'd never use those fools.
Wha? There are ways around this. Apple could just build sanctioned support for specific payment gateways (e.g Stripe/Adyen) and subject them to rules as a part of the app review process in the same way they are now. It doesn't need to be binary; it's just that they want to paint the picture as if it'll be a wild west of payments if they have to change that, even though they have the power to build safer alternatives.
Windows alone uses like 2GB, open some tabs and you are already out of ram. I think 8 is the new minimum.

I'm not technical enough to understand what are the strategic implications of this.

I have been reading a lot of reactions to this that involves hitting at C-level of MozCorp (mostly around their pay, but also perceived lack of focus?) so I wanted to understand what are the strategic changes that management is enacting.

Is building a web-based platform not a priority for Mozilla anymore? What is? Or is it that the layer of intervention on the web platform has shifted to other things, other than rendering engine and documenting it's capabilities?
