You're not likely to have something like the concatenation operator mixed with bitshifts. Most of the changes are more likely to be bugs in your code that remain undiscovered rather than things that worked perfectly fine before but are now broken.

These changes reflect how people use the language or what they already believe it to do.
As long as having good grades provides advantage outside of school and the school is judged by graduates achievements, there is strong incentive for school to give better grades.
You’re saying those developers currently would rather make 0% than 70%?
There's still weird AMD graphics bugs. Built a new Ryzen based system, with a RX 5500 XT, but get weird GPU lockups all the time
You are right that it would still be pseudonymous. Some problems:

1. LinkedIn is probably easy to game to create fake accounts.

2. HN already has email addresses for many (most?) users and could easily map most of those to LinkedIn accounts one way or another.

One of the really great things about HN is that they've been trustworthy (AFAIK). Unlike a good number of other sites they haven't done all the things they could do.

3. The more you do to identify users the lower concentration of really high quality users one get it seems. As newspapers decided on Facebook comments the only one that would show up to comment were:

- those who didn't realize or didn't care about the privacy implications

- those who just had to anyway because they felt so strongly about the topic

- trolls with faked Facebook accounts
>The other thing you need to keep in mind is a lot of the places you want to live have people who don't want you living there. If they find out you work remote and don't need anyone they will start screwing around with your life.

Agreed, this is the IBM and Yahoo plan all over again.
I moved to a different part of SF. Around the same price for rent, bigger space (I have a home office now!), and it's not the TL. :) I'll have added ~15min to my commute when we go back in, but the other benefits are worth it - especially the home office, it's good to be able to separate my work space from my relaxation space. I don't want to move extra times, and I'd rather just lock in the ideal place now.
I loved pocket when it was still ReadItLater. The WebExtension sidebar plugin for Firefox is strictly worse than the old one and they haven’t improved it EVER. Instead we get bullshit pills that tell us that a link we saved is very popular. I’ve already saved it and I don’t want to know this.
If everyone has A, it still leads to A.
Apple only extracts that revenue from apps if you want to directly take payment through the app. Both Netflix and Spotify work on iOS. They just are not collecting payments or doing new signups there. So in your analogy the student is presumably registered already with the school and Apple doesn’t take a cut at all, even today.
I'd love to see transparent screens in windows, like, real holes in buildings and furniture that are usually filled with glass. This would be a step towards ambient computing.
Most likely "no", you cannot patent a plant unless you have created it yourself. I don't know where those stories come from.
Funny, it's the same punch line they've been using to stick it to Steam for a while now. I wonder if there will be a day of reckoning when they see fit to raise their own rates to something similar?
I remember being bitten by write doing only partial work early in my career.

This definitely felt like an API shortcoming, ended up writing a wrapper for write that did what I expected.

I don't know about you youngsters, but I'm in my thirties and it's amazing to watch Microsoft evolve since the 90s. As a teenager I would never have imagined the words 'Open Source' would ever be in a <h1> tag on a Microsoft-branded website.
Well, Apple were at the right place at the right time. There is quite a bit of input from their side, but don't underplay the huge role of luck. And there is also network effect, once they had healthy numbers, people flock to them, so it is also due to network effects they are huge.
Developers can chose to target other platforms.

There are countries with 0% iOS market share, half of zero is still zero.

You're definitely focusing on the wrong bit.
That's the law. That's how forcing a second app store could be possible. But first of all, I don't think that it should be used to force Apple's hands. If they want to operate the app store the way they do, they should be able to do so. Long-term, they will kill their position because being abusive creates an opportunity for another player.

Secondly, I don't believe that the law will be applied. There are plenty of big companies that are in that position. First of all google with their operating system, browser, search-engine, ad network combo and Microsoft with their office suit. If you look at the quality of MS Teams, you know that its popularity is not by free choice.

If a second app store is introduced by that law, there would be plenty of follow-ups. I doubt that killing those cash-cows will happen when there is an economic war against China. Opening up those markets would allow Chinese companies to take those positions.
Pretty exciting, yeah.

Let me guess. Richer riches and poorer poors? I hope you'll enjoy the view from your off-planet 2 m^3 residential cubicle.
This is a vicious cycle of Google pushing new APIs to cement their grip on the Web and the web developers chasing fads to reduce their permanent sense of inferiority compared to native developers.

You can see that this is the case when you look at Safari which tried to limit features. It's arguable whether that's because Apple limits the best APIs to native apps, or those features don't make sense or because of a combination of the two. But it's undeniable that web developers mercilessly criticized Apple and relentlessly put pressure on them to keep adding all sorts of nonsense to the browser. Ironically this is why today Safari has a partially negative reputation, which the author seems to be unaware of.

To put it bluntly, the web as shaped by these two forces is fucked. There is no one that matters which still cares about the idea of a user-focused, privacy-respecting web. There's too much money to be made in an ad and tracking laden, kitchen sink APIs web.
> Corporations usually sell goods and services, but do not have control over individuals most fundamental rights including those of freedom, health or even life - like governments often do.

And yet in the U.S., your health care and pension is often tied to your employment at a corporation. For some people, for example those on work visa, having employment in a particular corporation is tied to living in the same country.

Vice versa, a democratic government has less control over your life than you might think.

And if we look at things like free speech - I can freely criticize the government but criticizing the corporation is often difficult.

Oh this is interesting, do you have any sources where I could read more about it?
> If apple to allow more profiting stores, the culture of selling there will grow exponentially and there will be no apps left in appstore beyond few generic and very safe-statused.

Then why hasn't this already happened? Are app developers free to abandon iOS and move to Android or not? Why haven't they all done so?

And if developers can't realistically abandon iOS or reject Apple's terms and remain profitable, then doesn't that add a lot of evidence to the idea that Apple is a duopoly with a stranglehold over a significant section of the market?

> this logic will not work for fortnite users, because you do not expect a knowledge about insecure stores more prevalent among them more than that there is fortnite.

Why haven't the Fortnite users all moved to Android so they can install the manipulative apps and games that aren't available on iOS?

If they're free to switch platforms, and they're not smart enough to avoid following bad apps around to lower-quality platforms, then why have they stayed on iOS?
Especially since there is no such thing as water memory.
> It reminds you of the Soviet Union because the underlying philosophy is the same. Equality at all costs.

Cannot laugh more at that.

The Union has never been, or at least not the union my father's memory, about that.

It was strongly regimented, rigid, very hierarchical, caste society. The communist fraternity has been a model aristocracy, with its primary imperative being maintenance of party member's status, and privilege.
It's not just individual molecules, the vortices that form in boiling water keep going even after it reached room temperature and help distribute the heat so that it can be taken away
If Apple is so keen on a great user experience, and that’s why they force everyone through the their own IAP funnel, then they should do the same on Android - after all, it’s not about the profit margin, but ease of use.

Clearly it is not.
Well sure, production of anything takes energy. Question is if 5% of the cars need replaced a year (20 years average age seems about right) are you better off replacing 5% of cars with electric or gas? The studies I've seen show that gas cars are so inefficient (often 15-20%) that even natural gas produced electricity is better in an electric car than a gas car.

The story gets even better if any solar, wind, or hydro is used. Sure nuclear helps as well. Seems obvious to me that we should push on all green energies.
I would be entirely thrilled to see another OS & platform with similarly-pro-user rules and restrictions and its own app store compete with Apple, tweaking those parts to fix the problems you call out (and others!), and either beat Apple or force them to improve a bunch.

Except the browser thing—that's already fine IMO, and I think keeping other browser engines off is very nice because it keeps the Electron-type riff-raff out of the store, among other reasons, and besides it's just the browser engine that's restricted. Again, what I'd rather see is another iOS-like OS & platform come on the market, also only one browser engine allowed, but for that browser engine to be better than Mobile WebKit, forcing Apple to improve or at least giving me another option in the same product category as i-devices, but with a browser engine I like better.
I think the western world hoped China would open up over the past 20 years.. unfortunately that strategy has become a spectacular failure
They propose to kick the can over to the Franchise Tax Board. The bill instructs the board to regulate "abusive transactions whose aim is to change the nature of an asset from public to nonpublic" or "assets held within trusts or other entities", and the extent of the guidance on how to do it is that regulations should disregard "any feature of an asset" which decreases the value of the asset.

This is btw. a very common error bad/inexperienced actors make: they have more eye contact with the other person than would be normal in that situation. If you observe people in their natural habitat (e.g. two strangers meeting), many look at something else while talking and only have short gazes at each other in order to check if the words arrived. Sometimes there are longer periods of looking at each other but it is nearly never all the time, unless it is some sort of power play.
Ask HN: How do you protect your Mailserver from DDoS Attacks?
I manage my own mailserver since several years and i think many others here use solutions like Mail-in-a-box, mailcow, Mailu, etc

Until Corona i never had big problems with my mailserver but in the last weeks i got very big incoming Traffic - that was too much for my server and i had to manually reboot it every time ...

I know DDoS protection solutions for websites like Cloudflare - but as far as i know Cloudflare doesn't work with mailserver because of the reverse DNS lookup which is needed to communicate with big email providers.

So does anyone had the same problems and found a solution for it? (A solution other than just switching to Gmail or other big players)

Edit: i changed my fail2ban settings and found out i was primarily targeted by brute force attacks which i should be able to protect against with tools like fail2ban
So... your answer is to ignore a sincere question. Here's another. Have you considered what if it were you putting your life savings into a business in downtown Seattle or Minneapolis or Chicago, then finding out you're not insured for civil unrest?

If you have a 4.0 but your school's average is a 5.0, your normalized gpa would be a 0.8 vs a 1.0. I didn't mean to imply that the divisions would use graded letters.
I did walk the claim back but even if I didn’t citing what I thought was an accurate number is not trivializing. The overall point remains true, invoking 9/11 imagery when talking about covid death numbers is emotionally manipulative rhetoric and it does more harm than good.
> But I'd like to think such observation is more of a complacent justification for the status quo.

I don't think people who are merely responding to the game and people who would want the game to be sustained are exactly the same populations.

Even with that, I think moral failings alone might not explain what is going on. Detecting competence signals is hard. Even in occupations where skills are highly explicated (e.g. software engineering) interviews suck at being good classifiers of good future employees. In which case we fallback to available data such as credentials as a proxy, which is also not completely irrelevant. This doesn't mean some people are not going to be explicitly credentialist (Marisa Mayer comes to mind as a well know example), cronyist or nepotist at the expense of competent alternatives, but it means one of the ways to innovate is going to be through amplifying competence signals (e.g. github repos and other public work can be thought as one example to this).
Fine: fuck you all you greedy devs who can't understand that the platform exists only because of Apple investment in security and usability and fuck all you scummy devs who want to collect all my contacts and location info and sell it to spammers, and probably my microphone and camera and sell it to blackmailers. Yeah, fuck them too.

Thank you, that was cathartic.
These days, and trust me I hear myself saying and typing this, it seems Microsoft is the "good guys" bar the repeated GitHub failures. Seems HackerNews is full of stories how Apple and Google is doing XYZ to developers or services. What a world we live in !
It’s their problem so they should figure it out, don’t they? With more power comes more responsibility.
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Phoenix yet. Folks are definitely flooding in that's for sure. Housing prices were already climbing for years but now they're rocketing. Maricopa County is the fastest growing in the US.
> I’m not going to enjoy Computer Science if I’ve never been exposed in any way to computers

Sure, if you're never exposed to computers of course you won't be able to enjoy them or be interested in computer science and see that as a valid option.

This is not really the case today though and women to a large degree still prefer other things given the option. The documentary comes to the same conclusion, that both environmental and biological stuff affects us but modern social science disregards any evidence for biological effects and that is the main issue with all debates about gender.

How has apple done this in a fundamentally different way from sony? I'm not seeing the difference here, which means I'm not seeing what you consider to be the real issue. Care to elaborate?

> The existing antitrust framework is already capable of handling this app store situation;

I think you are going to be dissapointed. Maybe EU antitrust would adopt more of a philosophical criteria for fairness, but US antitrust is unlikely to side with Epic here.
Since it's not happening in our backyard, I doubt the majority will care. We'll keep buying our precious cars, voting against green and nuclear, and continue our way of life unabated.

C'est la vie.
I was working in the office, where next doors we had a company that was doing English language learning software that was sold on CDs in book stores. Once I was talking with the owner of that company, he was investigating options to move beyond CDs, which were starting to decline (all this was like 10 or 11 years ago).

So I've told him about applications, app stores as a new kid on the block, but I've warned him about that 30% cut. The guy started to laugh and said that comparing to that what bookstores want this 30% is nothing.

Appstore has a lot of convenience, paying 30% for distribution, accounting (you just deal with a single invoice, not tones of invoices), return policy, automatic updates of applications it not that bad in the world of software.
If I were a congressman and had a shot at grilling Apple 2 weeks ago, I would have said this to them:

I was a Mac user and an Apple fan in the 90s and early 2000s, and we all know that was a rough time to be a Mac user: Because it was clear that Windows had won. If you asked a typical PC buyer why they chose Windows, their answer would go something like this: "All the software I need is on Windows. Windows has the REAL version of Office. Windows has IE6, the REAL internet. Windows has all my games, and my work software." Like the iPhone, the Mac was technologically superior in many ways, but that did not stop the Mac from shrinking to only a 5% market share, ceding its place in PC history to Windows.

Today, the iPhone enjoys the breadth of 3rd party software the Mac could only dream of. People pay $1000, sometimes every year, for a phone! This has transformed Apple's fortune from a struggling company into the most valuable company in the world. Why are people willing to pay so much for a phone? Because it is so much more than a phone. And why is it so much more than a phone? Because of the all 3rd party software expanding what the smartphone could do beyond what anyone thought was possible. So, why on earth would you put a tax on something that helps you so much, that it likely made the difference between being the distant loser in the PC era, vs being one of two major winners in the smartphone era?
---

There's a lot of different angles people arguing about this, but this is my favorite: Which is that the FLOW OF VALUE GOES BOTH WAYS. I find the tone that Apple takes on this arrogant: They really believe they are doing developers this huge favor by creating the iPhone and the AppStore and the flow of value flows massively in one direction, from Apple-to-Developer. But I sincerely do believe that 3rd party software is what made the difference between the fate of the Mac and the fate of the iPhone, and the respective difference in Apple's fortune. For as much as one could gush about iPhone's incredible hardware and software lead, the Mac had those same things going for it and still lost to Windows because of the software.

For Apple to turn around an rent-seek against one of the core reasons why the iPhone is successful, is to me, an incredible betrayal, and made possible only because of the gross difference in power and market concentration.
Even if it's not completely replicated a VPN might help. For example maybe the local frontends are broken but the local backends are fine. Or maybe the problem is the BGP routes are bad between your ISP and your local frontends, but the BGP routes from your ISP to your VPN and your VPN to the frontends near the VPN are fine.

Google Play does compete with the App store. Both on the developer side (choosing which platform to support) and on the consumer side (choosing which phone/ecosystem to enter).
That depends entirely on your skillset

They exist because there is value in what they do:

They put eyeballs in front of games = sales
They handle logistics and payment = do game devs want to be a gaming company or a logistics / customer service company?
They provide quality vetting, curation and discovery for customers with a reasonable degree of impartiality.

None of these are 'hard' but they take man hours and money to do well.
Gazing at people is usually part of power play or makes people feel you want the control or don't trust them. Some people will feel uncomfortable to even look at you if your gaze fixates them.

Give people a chance to have an "unobserved" look at you — this makes no sense, but might make things less tense.

Cloud is a very ambiguous term. To me a cloud is the abstraction of resources, scaling of which can be done on a colocation basis aswell.

I'm sure provisioining resources within the supplied hardware would be fast as any, and maintains privacy by default for apps where others can charge up to $40/hour/instance
Silicon Valley is a really nice club with zero consequences for those that have been screwing up the internet and online privacy for decades. Therefore I don't think it's appropriate to now complain that somebody's calling these people a disgrace to their field.

Recently we learned on HN of the revolving door between Mozilla and Facebook, straight from the mouths of former Mozilla/current Facebook employees. They were even proud of helping the people that were recently let go by Mozilla with jobs at Facebook, as if it were totally normal to switch from privacy and open web defender to privacy and open web villain. I mean it is totally normal apparently.

And really, I think that the moment of shame those people will feel at being called a disgrace, if they're even capable of feeling that any more will go away latest at the time that their fat paycheck hits their bank accounts. To be fair, they probably don't even read HN, Drew's blog or give a crap about any of this.
