Samsung Galaxy S30: specs, price, release date this year?
You won' probably catch any exec from MS and Apple admitting the obvious, but it's really against their best interest to encourage multi-platform apps as this would give users a choice between operating systems. It's not something that is discussed a lot these days because modern web apps are quite powerful, yet it's clear a good quality multi-platform toolkit would be a boon to users and developers alike.

As for MS open sourcing .NET Core it's all good and nice, but WinForms and WPF are still Windows-only, and according to MS they will remain this way. And Apple has no intentions of doing the same with SwiftUI.

Ugh, there's a basic PostgreSQL book listed on there, which (from the Amazon reviews) seems to be the worst possible pick. eg it's rated as 1 star. :(

https://www.amazon.com/PostgreSQL-Development-Essentials-Man...

That's really unfortunate, as there are a tonne of PostgreSQL books around, many of which are very good. eg:

https://www.amazon.com/Practical-SQL-Beginners-Guide-Storyte...

Conversely, the MySQL book right above it in the list seems to be one of the highest rated ones on Amazon:

As GitHub uses MySQL internally, this seems like favoritism.

It uses what is built into the OS, the native UI control which renders web pages. It doesn't need to download a whole 200mb Chromium or anything like that.

So your binaries can be really small too. Seems like faster start up times also.
This is going to be big. You can make solar more reliable by over building. Then you can use that sporadically surplus electricity to make liquid fuels - needed for aviation and handy for trains and trucks.
> People would say "China can decide what they want to allow".

Who are you defining as “people”? I’ve only ever seen people criticize their bans on media.
Well, no. Tokyo was already attacked before, and had significant destruction received already. And some cities of tokyo even were on the initial list of targets with strategic value for the atomic bomb. If anything they did not choose it because is was not important enough.

In the end they decided the target mainly by effective damage (physical as also psychological), which ruled out already attacked areas and left only a handful cities. Of those hiroshima was the best, because of size and the surrounding mountains, which made the best setup for effective demonstrating the power of the atomic bomb.

> China is an authoritarian regime, not a democracy under the rule of law. There are laws in China, but ultimately a corporation is subject to the whims of the Chinese Communist Party.

Would you say it's kind of like the US President being able to just ban things he just says are threats to National Security? All of the authoritarian regimes have laws that specifically allow them to do what they do. They're usually authoritarian because they can and do call everything they don't like a threat to National Security.

Where is the actual proof here? Where can everyone take a look at it?
How so? Americans have the right to trade with foreign companies. Apple should have the right to trade with foreign companies, in this case, TikTok.

US restrictions on foreign trade are restrictions on Americans.

Demography is destiny. China's much larger population is churning out STEM graduates at a way faster rate than the US, and if the US loses the soft power that was previously steering the best and brightest of them to study and work in America, it will have a much harder time maintaining its technological lead.
Absolutely not, because the separation of powers guarantees that if he botches the Executive Order and it has no legal ground, it will fall under the weight of the Law.

No such mechanisms exists in an authoritarian regime like the Chinese.
PS Thanks for clarifying.
Thanks. It's not so much the TOS (should've phrased it better) but more the contracts. We're combining hardware with a software service and are experimenting with one-off sales with life-time (basic) service, premium service subscriptions, no-sale just subscriptions, deposit + subscription, etcetera.
There are things, like the obligation to return the hardware at the end of a subscription, that we now have in the TOS. But if we want to experiment further we might need to add the obligations of every new business model in the TOS.
Thanks to all the comments here I now understand this should not be in there but in the contract. This is exactly one of those "best practices" I'm looking for!
It won't be so straightforward because each cloud vendor has multiple offerings catering to how much control you want over your compute. The easiest is Serverless (Cloud functions, lambda), then there is managed Kubernetes offerings (which will standardize your experience over all vendors and on-prem infra), third is opinionated PaaS (App Engine, Beanstalk, Heroku) and last one is empty VMs (Compute Engine, EC2) which is very similar to your current experience.
After America goes and elects a jackass like Trump, how does it matter what the CCP or Russia is capable off?

The whole discussion is unnecessary.

If someone goes and flunks an exam due to their own incompetence, does it matter what external factors can make them flunk?

Trump + other bizarre self important characters in his cabinet actually believe they know what they are doing. They don't. As to the CCP knowing what its doing is another total joke.

The moves of both sides are like watching second graders working a tenth grade problem. Its true, the tantrums the second graders throw in frustration, can be entertaining or highly dramatic. But the trap people fall into is to focus on the tantrums, forgetting whats on blackboard and whether anyone in the room has the skills to solve it.

This was all fine in the age of no information or hidden information. The game old men have learnt to play in that environment is an outdated game.

Today with data overflowing about the nature of problems, about the grade level the people in the room the game changes. And what we choose to focus on will change too.
Medical software systems already have legal obligations that fall on (I believe) the CEO of a firm. In the CRO space for clinical trials for example you're often audited by the FDA, MHRA, and others to ensure your processes are documented and followed, your issues traced and corrected, etc. You also have a requirement to fulfil things like 21 CFR Part 11 for records and signatures tracking/management.

Failures of a company responsible for this kind of thing that lead to injuries or deaths can result in imprisonment of (at least) the CEO and possibly others. I'm not sure licensing is necessary here, that's what documented process is supposed to manage (change tracking, development process, etc.)
The money apparently goes to the victims. Maybe people are being charitable.
Most bicycle stores look like a grocery store in the 1-2 days before a hurricane hits. Tons of inventory is missing. Finding basic items can require phoning 5 or 6 different shops.

My theory is that it's a combination of people who don't want to commute by public transit due to covid19 concerns, and people whose regular gyms and group-fitness clubs and classes have been cancelled also due to covid19, combined with the usual April and onwards spring/summertime boom in sales for everything bike related.

Bicycle retailers are a highly cyclic business and usually things are very slow from mid October to late March. Except in places with really good year-round weather (San Diego and similar).

The idea that the Italian protected designation is somehow more "legitimate" than the Malaysian one is nothing but Eurocentrism. The Malaysian government can enforce these designations the same way that any other entity can... as a stipulation of trade agreements. If your country doesn't respect Malaysia's designations, then perhaps Malaysia won't let you sell your products in Malaysia.
> The issue with three sets is muscle soreness

I appreciate the fact that we all can't be athletes: having said that; there was a time in my life when I would open my eyes Every Morning to blinding pain from my workouts. But now, 30 years later, the benefit (I believe partly from having been in such awesome shape and I do still workout strenuously, but not to that level) is that even at 60 years of age I still have stunning reaction times, I can still do things most 35 year olds can not and my driving is still freaking crisp!

PS: I can still do over 60 consecutive pushups and planck for 4:30 minutes. Sure somedays I'm sore as hell but fuck that old age shit... ;)

The Guide to Summarizing Books
Didn't read the book but I had a looong look at all kinds of "native" Go Gui toolkits and have to say there is none ready for professional / commercial cross-platform GUI applications.

The "old" frameworks such as the GTK bindings are either unmaintaned or not complete or both. The new frameworks like Gio and Fyne are promising but not there yet. Maybe in 1-2 years if they are being worked on consistently.

I really wish to do my upcoming project natively in Go (also Rust would be fine) but I don't see how.

Regarding web technology as desktop solution: all of those solutions including Go are just a mess IMO. They force go into the stack even when it doesn't make sense. Write the frontend in Go, compile it to WASM, wrap it in some browser.. it's just more complexity for no real gain.

There are some promising ideas, such as webview and wails but again not production-ready.

My conclusion: if you are willing to use web technologies, just use electron at the moment.

With Go the only "possible" way is to write a server and open a tab in your browser. But if people would accept this as desktop solution is another question.
The Pirates of Silicon valley DVD was the first item I've ever bought on Amazon. This was circa 2001, I was 15 and living in Europe. Ordering something from the US over the internet and having it delivered 2 weeks later was very exciting back then. I also had to 'hack' my DVD player to circumvent the region lock.

Anyway, my point being is: there is a 572p 16:9 version available on DVD.

I don't get why he decided to ban tik tok and tencent and I'm not the biggest fan of his by any stretch of the imagination, but if America wants to ban 1 Chinese app, why is that an issue? They literally copied silicon valley businesses for decades in China.

The problem I have with this though, is that it's not a way to get protect American interests, it's probably the first in a series of last ditch efforts to portray a certain political stance before the campaign. And the effect of banning wechat, tik tok, and tencent will stoke an already considerable flame of anti chinese perspective, which the chinese americans on our soil, have to suffer for. I say ban the crap out of all Chinese apps if that's just what it is, but let's all make sure not to throw out our own under the bus with it.

Your solution to solve your problem with China overnight was pretty much lying under your nose.

Think, not a single government employee in China can legally afford to pay for their children tuition in Harvard (which people in China jokingly call "the new Central Party School.") The salary of a government employee in China is legally capped at around CNY 32000. There is no way in hell even Chinese government ministers can pay for their children lavish lifestyles in the West from legit income.

Err, foreign affairs (and thus commerce) has always been something regulated by the US government - something reserved for the president unless the legislative explicitly declares otherwise. Source: https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-2/sec...

Do you know any constitutional clause or SCOTUS case suggesting otherwise?
The best time to have banned US corporations from handing IP to China would have been 40 years ago. The next best time is now. And TikTok has nothing to do with any of this, TikTok's "ban" is just the latest random outburst from an insufferable moron.

To be more specific, it would be Apple preventing you from doing it in this case.

If you had a phone that let you install software on it of your choosing then you could install whatever you want, regardless of who Apple isn't allowed to do business with. They made themselves a chokepoint, so now they're a chokepoint.

The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around... no, your phone's only route is through the one corporation.

Free market does not need to be a two way thing to function. If the Chinese have to spend their money on non-US goods, those earning thw profits will be more inclined to spend their money on US goods.

Exports is what you pay for your imports. It's better for US citizens to be able to buy Chinese products even if Chinese citizens can't buy us products. They can pay for it by exporting to other countries from which China buys.
You're free to jailbreak your phone if you want to exercise that right. And Apple is free to deny you updates and service if you do that.
A working sculptor once told me he appreciated my pieces because they needed to be experienced in the round. He would have liked to be able to compose in that style, but as his potential purchasers all worked off photographs, it meant that while he sculpted in 3D, his work had a preferred viewing direction, from which it was composed as in high relief.

The big difference is AWS doesn't provide a GSLB (global server load balancing) service outside of Cloudfront. GCP on the other hand provides L7 GSLB.

You still need to create VPCs in each region and manage those but broadly speaking building a multi-region architecture with GCP is a lot better. Hell multi-zone is also easier in GCP because there are more regional primitives available.
IMHO TikTok being owned by the CCP now is a clear and present danger to all Americans using the app.

You make some fair points, but there is no way that I would trust a government agency to actually do code reviews and verify that a company isn't doing something wrong.

I feel increasingly unsafe because this app is being operated by a company that is beyond extradition with the USA. So if they ARE busted for doing bad stuff, who is getting jailed?

In an era where every snapdragon SoC seems rootable from any old application, and you can use machine learning to pick out key words from text streams, do we really need this app in the market?

I'm not sure what you're on about. Authoritarian states do have laws to justify what they do. Even Saudi Arabia has them. You can get a lawyer, you can get a judge to review your case, you can appeal decisions. They do have separation of power as well.
