WordPress is a nightmare because of the issues surrounding speed, security and scalability. But if you use a static WordPress hosting solution (like Strattic for example - I'm the CEO) that solves all that, so you can benefit from WP's robust CMS while enjoying a perfect, static output. https://www.strattic.com
> How else do you propose they go after Apple? Go through this process without violating the app store?

Epic is a huge company with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, not some 10-man operation. They can hire lawyers and try to negotiate with Apple for more favorable terms.

> Then most people would turn a blind eye to the issue because it hasn't actually impacted them.

Imagine if this was happening with Adobe and you're a professional that depends on Adobe products (that you pay a large monthly fee for) to do your job. Would you care who is "right" while your boss is breathing down your neck for that project you can't do because Adobe decided to get in a pissing match with Apple? I think you'd think twice about using Adobe products in the future. So why is it OK for Epic to harm their own customers in an effort to apply pressure on Apple? Personally, I'd feel pretty used.

And don't forget. Epic seems OK with continuing to pay Sony/Microsoft 30% on their respective consoles.

haha yes I wish emacs could do that too but the thought of a redundant pass in every block would probably bother me more than the lack of auto-outdent.

That colon that starts every indented block is like an unmatched opening brace though.
I'm with you in the sense that I just learned through these posts that astigmatism and website dark modes don't go well together.

I wonder if lighter colors and soft grey palettes would work for your case. have you experimented with colors that are easier on your eyes, given your complications?
No.

It's not a requirement on users anymore than the GPL requiring you to distribute corresponding source on CDs was a requirement on users. Morally and legally, the distribution medium does not make a difference. When you make the software available over the network you are no longer the user -- the users of the software over the network are the users. When you convey the software over the network you are a network operator and a distributor. Being a network operator and a distributor imposes obligations upon you.

It is not a EULA. The AGPL even says, in the same section that the GPL says (to wit, section 9) that you don't need to accept it in order to be granted its rights.
No, they did not. It is more accurate to say two restaurants in Toronto just mandated 18% tipping:

>Tips will still be split between front and back but Ten will now be "adding a flat untaxed 18 per cent service charge onto each bill no matter the size of the group,"

The more sensible thing would have been to increase menu prices by 18%. But they are not being sensible. They just increased their prices while pretending they have not done so. I hate it when you have to treat a menu like a legal document and be looking for the fine print.
This is the difference between actual professional equipment, and "pro" aspirational marketing for consumer devices.
Software development is long overdue for a legally professional software engineer license and certification process. I imagine it's going to happen down the road after something important gets burnt.
Good riddance. Tipping is racist/sexist, and is more often than not an excuse for the restaurants to use it for exploitation. I live in Toronto and everyone I know working in the food industry is happy to hear this.
I'm so happy to hear this. I cannot stand tipping and genuinely get anxiety when I'm out with friends and the wife and she sometimes pays without knowing what the right "tip amount" is.

It happens to me too, where I have to pay attention to what the waiter/waitress is doing that is exceptional or bad so I can adjust my tip accordingly.

It's bad for the customer and the employee, the employer is the only one winning by exploiting its own workers. I wish we would just pay our servers a living wage with health benefits and stop hiding those as "Extra surchages" as San Francisco is doing.

While we're at it, show me the final price with taxes included please.
This is so old, I personally wouldn't read it. If you want to learn Ocaml, probably the best current resource is Real World Ocaml v2: https://dev.realworldocaml.org/. It doesn't have good coverage of the not so real world things or the myriad of syntax extensions (mostly from Jane Street). The main auther is one of the original co-founders of Jane Street as well. The only reason I'm saying this is that the Jane Streets guys steer the direction of the language heavily, and their needs don't necessarily fit mine. Their standard library alternative Core (which RWO uses) is a ton of code, pulling in hundreds of dependencies. This leads to a native compiled hello world binary being over 20mb.
I’ve used independent shops that were Apple certified that have been fantastic
Epic can return to selling off-store on Android though.
and while we're at it, include the taxes!
You make it sound like there's a problem with the people getting addicted, not the systemic overprescription of addictive drugs to unwitting patients who followed the authority of naive, at best, or even malicious medical professionals.
I have a Schwab account, but it really bothers me that they're constantly trying to push their services like financial planning or investment advisors. Even if you look for target-date funds they'll hide the index one and push the expensive active ones. Compared to their website Robinhood is calm and minimalist, at least in my opinion.
How is that relevant to this conversation at all?
I think it is more complex than this. Overdose is a real negative outcome.
Yes, Go suffers from the problem of every direct third-party dependency bringing in a large number of transitive dependencies. Almost every language does, because most developers don't mind.

The reason I recommend Python or Go to people like the OP, who do mind, is that their strong standard libraries allow you to mitigate the problem by minimizing, or even eliminating, those direct third-party dependencies.
But in the case of the PIA program, the hex address that's broadcast in the ADS-B packet is unpublished, not associated with the tail number of the plane anywhere except in the FAA's internal database. It can be a very effective way of obscuring aircraft identity (though see the DEFCON youtube link I posted for potential vulnerabilities).
Because the stock market demands eternal growth. They've already sold phones to half the planet, they know you won't pay 1300 euro next year, and now they have to find more creative ways to show growth.
Can they get hooked on their own drugs, have the drugs taken away, and then lose everything trying to feed the addiction on the street?
Xlsx sheets with more than one sheets, only first sheet gets imported?
This would sort of discourage code-reuse and modularity, as people would rather copy a module into their project to prevent their donations from diluting to them...

If you released an iOS app against the guidelines, such as counting up US drone strikes, wouldn't it suck to have your unrelated OS X apps unnotarized rather than just having your app removed? Notarization was supposed to be about security.
Give me the price up front, including cost for the staff to get whatever is determined to be a decent wage. At the same time, pay staff a decent wage.
The App Store was always a walled garden with notably tall walls. The power Apple has over who gets into the App Store has been described as the primary virtue and attraction of iOS devices for years. Users love that it is a curated collection with a very high bar for quality, and many are willing to accept the trade-off that not all apps (even technically legitimate ones) will be published there.

This is why the web is so important. More to the topic at hand: this is why Apple purposely, broadly second-classing the web on iOS is so important, and needs to stop.

On Android, a directory-style app would be trivial to distribute on the web as an installable PWA that eventually becomes indistinguishable from a native app from the user's perspective. It's 2020; this is a sub-basement level of capability that all platforms should include by now. Let's stop pretending that ceding all the publishing power to one company is a trade-off that makes sense in the long-run (this goes for Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon and all the rest).
Most founders faced the same lack of access too, perhaps getting through is the secret sauce that is so valuable?
I think he's saying that the drug war is the problem, not the addiction. That the steps that we're taking to fight addiction are worse than the addiction itself.
There's no chance of this happening in my view. There's way too many vested interests in the "democratisation of development" especially the likes of "coding bootcamps", limitless frameworks and tools for "code-free" development, and extremely blurred lines on things like WordPress where a "developer" could be anything from someone who can only install plugins through the front-end to crack PHP developers.
I think they're pointing out that we may be overdoing it as a result of trying to resolve over-prescription.
Even well-trained engineers engage in brazen acts of insecurity and data-harvesting because a lot of money can be made doing it. Just look at Facebook’s business model and breaches. They probably have more Stanford grads than boot campers.
This line of thinking is very reminiscent of “Facebook won’t be around much longer, it will be gone like MySpace”, many people still believe that as FB is now one of the most valuable companies in the world.

There is no reason to believe this will be true. Grand Theft Auto V is now 7 years old at this point and has seen 2 almost 3 console generations as generates an incredible amount of money for TakeTwo. The longevity of these platforms have clearly changed
I think separately listing taxes has the benefit of transparency - you know how much the government is taking and can make more informed electoral decisions.
I read it differently. It reminds me of some advice on pitching:

“Don’t waste you’re time trying to convince hesitant investors you have a good idea. Find the investors who already know it’s a good idea, and then convince them you’re the team whose going to do it.”
Wright Brothers Patent War
Yeah, this is my position.

I want the guy to profit as much as possible, but the flag is pretty much world renowned for Australian Aboriginals at this point.

Having one individual choose how it is used on their own personal whims is a bit much.
This smells like a rumor spread to pump the stock like it did for Microsoft and Twitter. Oracle is a death's kiss for any company that gets acquired by it.

The stock has ben trading flat for months now while most large cap tech stocks are reaching their all time highs. Oracle just doesn't want to be left out from the party.
In the absence of a return type, and with an LL(1) parser, there needs to be a keyword to indicate the start of a function definition. `def` is a little unusual, but it's also used by Ruby.

I once designed a Python-like language and used `function`, because the language made a distinction between `function`s and `method`s.
As someone from India, I never understood the the tipping culture when I went abroad. It is not that tips are non-existent in India. It is not mandatory in India. However in UK, any tip < 10-15% is judged and hence the reputation of Indians as poor tippers. This leads to lot of mis-understanding.

I was surprised even getting a simple haircut had to be tipped in UK. I do not mind if the appropriate tip amount is factored in the price itself. The guilty-feeling and ambiguity whether I am being miserly or not made me avoid such places whenever possible.

Note: I learnt later that waiters in an restaurant are not that well paid and they have to "earn" it via tips.
Healthcare.gov was a pretty high profile failure but even then nothing happened after.
Music theory isn't a set of rules so much as conventions and observations that constantly changes. Pitch naming is one of those that fits both, and it can be subjective.

There's some interesting set theoretical approaches to this problem I can think of, but I don't think they'd be of use practically. There's a reason most notation software gets it "wrong" when transcribing MIDI data, because there are multiple interpretations of the same data and a limited set of them can be "correct" and I can think of cases where 3-4 of them are equally correct (by metric) but obviously wrong to a reader. Pedogical example is the "German" augmented 6th chord, which is specifically used as a pivot between tonalities and has four alternative spellings in the same key, and while a theorist will tell you only one is correct in context, in practice one may be chosen over the other (and I'd bet there are scores out there where the same pitch is spelled differently for different instruments).

Jazz isn't significantly different than baroque or classical. It's ordered chaos for the most part, and since it derives from blues will often fall into similar variations on familiar patterns harmonically. Notationally though, it can be all over the place, if it's notated at all. For example chord voicings are typically left as an exercise to the reader in Jazz, and early baroque, but left explicit in classical through to about the 1920s in art music where it has since diverged.

Deceptively tricky problem. Fun to think about though. If you're tackling it, like it sounds like you are, just remember that all notation is lossy and it's purpose is either to convey information to a reader or performer.

If you really want to get into the mind of it, study a bit of four voice harmony, counterpoint, and functional harmony. There's probably a lot on YouTube.
Covered in the article: "To me it really doesn't seem like too radical of a change, my hope is that after people get comfortable with this, we will be able to scrap a service charge completely and just increase our menu prices by 18 per cent and then pass that 18 per cent into higher salaries for all of our staff."

I hope it catches on.
The doctors and drug companies make easy scapegoats, but if a person came to you in genuine pain, living an absolutely miserable life, and you knew without a doubt you could stop it, could you in good moral standing with yourself choose to keep this human being in pain?

I certainly could not, I am not so heartless, and I certainly hope the same of my own doctors.

I think we forgot that by and large near all these people were in genuine pain. It’s easy to disparage them from the sidelines, but walk a mile in their shoes.
> Apple opened up game development

No, Apple II already had game devs selling stuff by mail without paying Apple 30%, in a much more open way.
Well somehow PCI compliance seems to work well enough for credit card payment processing. But what happens is, the payment handling is passed off to a vendor, so not every company has to get things right in house.. I wonder if that can be a solution here.. medical data is handled by external vendors.
I hate the idea of tipping. I tip generously. Both of these statements are simultaneously true.

The vast majority of the countries in the world (that I've visited) do not believe in percentage based tipping as we do in North America [1]. A tip either involves rounding up to the nearest unit of currency, or takes the form of a small service fee added to the bill.

In North America, we've arrived at a situation where waitstaff actually prefer a tipped environment (due to high upside potential, especially where alcohol is served) and are also beholden to the tip (due to huge downside potential i.e. laws that mandate a lowered minimum wage for tipped workers).

Getting rid of tipping by instituting a living wage can sometimes result in lower upside, so many workers end up being against a fixed livable wage. The calculation is that stochastic/high upsides (at bars, large groups) is preferable to stable but middling upside (i.e. living wage).

On the other hand, the laws of supply and demand still apply. Without high food prices and corresponding demand at those prices, a restaurant can't sustain an untipped staff. So getting rid of tipping is a gamble and not many restaurants, especially low end ones, are able to swing it. Restaurants that are looking to get rid of tips are banking on the fact that the demand will remain the same at higher sticker prices (which in theory, should be true since the effective prices have not changed -- culturally a 15-20% tip is almost mandatory) but psychologically this often isn't the case -- unless you have a sign at the door that says (no tips required).

It's a little bit like Uber/Lyft. The economics doesn't actually work out, but there's something propping it up. In the restaurant world, it's tipping. Getting rid of it is like getting rid of VC money for gig companies. There's a tightrope you have to walk to balance the books.

While I agree it's overdue, I'm not sure what that event would look like.

When a bridge falls down, building collapses, patients die, people take notice.

Meanwhile, we've had the social insurance numbers and banking history of 165M+ UK, US, and Canadian people leak out of sheer technical negligence [0], and it resulted in a meek settlement and hardly broke through the public consciousness.

It seems to me that until someone dies in a way that is very clearly linked directly to a woefully negligent and under-trained software engineer messing up in a very public way, the needle is not going to budge at all.

Perhaps autonomous cars? Even then I doubt it, to be honest.

I think more than climate it tends to be 1) what does the current construction look like and is it feasible to move lines underground, 2) what is the soil like, and is it stable enough to bury cables, and 3) are current property owners willing to accommodate the disturbance to trench and replace the old cables.

I grew up in an old (for the US), hilly east coast city and nothing was underground. Because it wasn't very dense and didn't have gridded neighborhoods, it would have been quite expensive to run utilities underground. I subsequently moved to a newer part of a different city and all the new construction had underground utilities. It still doesn't prevent outages at the substation or high voltage transfer line layers.
You do not in fact have to pay attention to how well the server performs. You can just take the final price, divide by 10, multiply by 2, and round whichever direction you want. You should look at tipping as a cost sharing measure, not an incentive system.
What??? I had no idea. You’re beautiful.
You’re right! I’m just some dude on the Internet... :)
> It is interesting that few people are recognizing that the 30% buys you distribution on a billion devices.

It's interesting that few people don't understand the difference between permission to distribute versus actual distribution.

If Apple was doing any distribution for you at all, you wouldn't need to pay Facebook and Google for distribution.

Note how this was different in the early days, where simply being on the app store would get downloads. That has not been true for 7-8 years now.

I wish they made it in LCBO reciepts, so we could see that sweet almost 100% tax on alcohol.
Much like a "desktop" app will always lag behind bare metal software in terms of access to hardware capabilities and runtime efficiency.

That's a caricature, but all these platforms provide a variety of scaffolding and security, and the optimal setup is non-obvious.
I disagree with China Authoritarianism and it's heavy handed social approach and they surely get a lot of things wrong in engineering and suburban planning too.

But the scale China works at is mind boggling and I couldn't hope to say I could "build a city" better.

The healthcare industry is prepared just fine. Regulations exist for how you can share data with vendors, when you are required to remove identifiable information, and how to share unredacted information with legal agreements, audits, etc.

When this doesn’t happen right there are penalties and notifications. If correct, a breach of this magnitude is entirely possibly a death penalty for the businesses involved, and criminal liability.

If it isn’t, then it isn’t the business sector being unprepared or the regulations being missing but the legal system failing to follow through.
Thank you. Appreciate your comment even more since my comment was down voted :)
I agree with these things. I forgot about sortable and filterable tables, but it is correct it should be having. (I would also like the ability to override the browser's default styles without overriding those of the web page, in addition to the ability to override the styles specified in the web page.) If the browser uses SQLite databases for anything (such as bookmarks and cookies), let the user enter SQL commands to sort/filter HTML tables (and export them too, since the commands are entered by the user rather than the web page author, they are privileged).

And, yes, it would reduce complexity in the ways you specified, in addition to improving efficiency and allowing the user more control, and these are good things to have.

Maybe someone will make a web browser program that can do these kind of things.
It doesn't matter how bad the crime may be, as long as criminal justice is carried out by fallible humans, capital punishment will result in innocent deaths. As nice as retribution might feel, it only adds to the problem.
18% price increase during a pandemic? Wow. They have it in Hungary too, but it's 8% as far as I can remember, not 18%. But we didn't mind as in Budapest the service and the food was almost always excellent, even in a bar that served mainly cocktails but had some easy dishes so that the customer doesn't leave the place if they're hungry.

I don't like service tax. If you don't like the service you have no other option but to pay it. With tips you would just not tip and walk away.
Overdoses themselves are relatively rare, particularly with prescribed drugs, and especially when you consider the absolutely enormous number of people on opiates.

I believe the solution is to make opiates easily, cheaply and safely available in a controlled clinical setting, much like how Portugal got their opiate problem under control. Keeps people off street drugs, thus keeping their doses reasonable and opiates out of the hands of people who are not recovering.
I haven't actually. I always just used dark mode and assumed the additional difficulty was a drawback everyone experienced and learned to live with it. Now that I know that's not the case I'll see if I can find a color scheme that works well, like you suggested :)
But that's solvable by people working longer if their health lasts longer.
