Being able to move fast (ahem, move quickly) is important. I don’t know your exact details but trust that you need this change.

Reforming your architecture so that it is reproducible without the overhead of containers, orchestration, etc is definitely possible.

What containers enforce upon you is the rigor of reproducibility. If you are disciplined enough to wipe your infrastructure and redeploy using shell scripts instead, you will get the same benefits without the infra overhead (training, bulkiness, etc. — looking at you, Ansible.)

Be prepared to implement a fair few things you used to get “for free” though. Also, you must strongly resist the urge to “just quickly implement [feature we used to have with Docker]”.

It’s quicker to think your way out of needing the feature than it is to realize how hard it was for Docker to reliably implement it.

I recommend at least basing yourself on LXC or LXD, and starting from there. It’s much easier to scriptably reinstall an LXC host than it is to reimage bare metal.
These are downsides of macros in general, but I don't see how they are relevant to a built-in macro from stdlib.
Yea, but then you have c++ to deal with.
Anti-Jewish philosophy in the Soviet Union was not 'equality at all costs' it was 'jews are thieves' and other horrible racist beliefs, same as in most of Western Europe before.
> Epic providing digital currency to their users costs Apple literally nothing

It's important to understand that this definitely isn't true. It probably doesn't cost them (anywhere near) 30%, but fraud, handling upset parents, providing a ubiquitous gift card system, etc etc. does have real operational and monetary cost. It's not just basic payment processing

If Apple provided it, I don't trust it. There are infinite ways to arrange accounts.

"We simply can't give you a raise, we don't have the budget."

I think if there was competition, their prices would drop dramatically, and that would show you how much it actually costs them.
This is fully in line with Woke ideology. It seems a lot of people still don't understand it, and it's extremely important to read up on critical theory, postmodern theory, and social justice if you want to understand why things like this are happening to you.

Essentially, Woke ideologists believe that identity groups are in a constant struggle for power, and they describe two main classes: the oppressed, and the oppressors. They are also rooted in Marxist ideology, believing in the emancipation of the oppressed by seizing the means of production - except where Marxists strictly focused on economic means, critical theorists focus on narrative and cultural means.

In terms of economics, trade and industry, Asians are considered part of the oppressor group along with Whites and Jews. Asians are part of a narrative where they are known to be high earners and hold powerful positions in a wide array of industries. That's why they don't care about your ethnicity, because it's irrelevant to their stated goals of emancipating the oppressed.
Do you have any evidence of that
Yes, the idea AMD is more secure than Intel is mostly a myth. AMD was less aggressively optimised than Intel but AMD didn't know about side channel attacks either and would have eventually ended up with the same techniques.

Meanwhile, we can compare the security track record of SEV vs SGX to see some real meat. SEV has been cracked completely and repeatedly by simple C or cryptography programming errors like buffer overflows or not checking for points being on the curve. SGX has had no such errors, every single attack on it has been an exotic statistical side channel attack. The last round weren't even practical. Researchers studied it for a year and couldn't actually make it work against real enclaves, but Intel issued CVEs and mitigations for it anyway, just in case. And the root level of SGX was never cracked, which is why it's always been software patchable/renewable without needing new silicon. AMD SEV has needed new silicon more than once.

SGX has held up pretty well given it was born just before the discovery of an entire class of CPU design vulnerabilities.
Seems like this still doesn't fix the infamous "1E1" == "010", which I guess can't be fixed without breaking a lot of old code and assumptions.

Same in Sweden, if you can't afford to, or don't want to spend the cash for a >1000$ phone. You can lock yourself in for 12-24 months on a provider with a raised monthly fee. Very common in my experience.
I don't see your point. That article isn't against the use of JavaScript, it's against non-Free software.

Stallman's position is that the principles of Free Software apply to non-trivial JavaScript code. That seems reasonable enough. His definition of non-trivial JavaScript is such that any JavaScript that modifies the DOM, is necessarily considered non-trivial. Again, seems reasonable enough.

If we want an example of RMS being unreasonable, we need only look as far as the Q&A after one of his talks, where he can generally be relied on to bitterly snap at an audience member for some inexact use of terminology, rather than gently clarifying before answering.
Not the person you were replying to, but anecdotally my XPS 15 9550 has been nothing but a nightmare.

It's on battery #3 from the battery swelling issue, a lot of backlight bleed on the 4K Display, coil whine in the power supply (went through three of those), three DC jacks (might need to be a 4th soon), the infamous VRM/throttling issue, and to top it all off I had the main board replaced within the first two years because of a firmware problem preventing Windows from activating. Less of problem with the system itself, but during that mobo job Dell replaced the 512GB Samsung SSD with a Toshiba 1TB and R/W speeds dropped to ~1/3 of what they were before. Also anecdotal but a buddy of mine with a 9560 has gone through more or less the same issues, sans the firmware problem.

They look so appealing on paper (which is why I chose it over a MBP), but there's just something about them that feels proof-of-concept, like it's an unfinished product that was pushed out too quick. I wanted to give Dell another chance, having gone private three years before and having seemingly improved their build quality. When you spend $3800 on what is supposed to be the best-of-the-best and it turns out to be the headache of a lifetime, it leaves a really sour aftertaste.
Let's not forget the costs of wars to keep the oil flowing (when calculating oil costs).
There are so many different issues at play here. Firstly, the original 1948 borders existing for less than 6 hours - the time after which Israel was attacked. Secondly, that Palestinian State was actually Jordan (well, Transjordan). Both King Abdullah and King Abudllah II of Jordan are on record as saying they want nothing to do with that border.

When Israel launched a counterattack against the Arab armies within its border, it then secured land from the then Transjordan borders. A similar event happened in the war with Syria.

Similarly, Israel's learned from its own history. In only one case (1976, Egypt) has peace been achieved by giving back land. This isn't a door Israel is willing to open again, having been burned (and yes, part of the burning) repeatedly.

I feel sorry for Yale (et al) in this case because they're being presented with a very hard problem (defining and measuring merit in a reliable non-game-able way), one that likely has no widely accepted solution, and one that we as a society have actively decided to completely ignore in favor of everyone looking out for themselves.
Not trying to debate, just having an idea: the percentage versus fix cost is coming from the tax system. You don't pay a fix dollar tax per citizen, but a percentage of your income. I can see private companies doing the same.

that is so amazing. A friend found an old Indian cookbook in an obscure language which was 80 years old and realized that even some daily food evolved so much just in the span of a century
As a person who doesn't cook very well, the value I find in most old cookbooks (and a surprising number of modern cookbooks) is just that: historical. And sometimes the sadness that no one makes certain dishes anymore.

But I can't for the life of me figure something like "Stew until ready. Not long before it's ready add finely chopped garlic" [1] or "Prepare the duck, stuff it and stew until done" [2]

Give me times, and temperatures, and sizes, and weights! And don't start me on the weights :D Cups, and spoons, and whatever else are not valid systems of measure :)

Data classes, attributes, matching expression, all excellent changes. Just missing async/await syntax to defer io bound tasks.
If a startup refuses a worker’s council this way and someone already tries to establish it, that’s a good sign to look for employment somewhere else.
Ok. I probably don't use so very advanced parts of the type systems (didn't know about Scala Shapeless until now) so I might not notice the differences.
> Why don't you think they should match up?

Is there an a priori reason they must?
This argument works as long as there is healthy competition, so that consumer's preferences get reflected in the offer. If the market is a monopoly or duopoly you could get very undesirable outcomes.
No, the whole point is that Epic wants to be able to handle payments themselves. Their app, as they submitted it to the App Store, does not have Apple involved in the purchasing of digital currency at all. And Apple is saying there cannot be an app that doesn't have them as the payment provider.

Just like if Amazon said Nespresso couldn't sell a machine on Amazon that doesn't use Amazon as the payment processor when handling pod subscriptions.
I recently had to set up a microsoft <whatever-theplatform-is-called> account for teams. I got there in the end but i'm fairly sure I now have 3 different microsoft logins. The whole thing was smooth as sandpaper and as logical as an M. C. Escher painting.

At least they provide a linux native client for it I suppose.
The title of the forum post is: "Open Usage Commons: a warning"

But that doesn't convey what the content is all about. The post is highlighting concerns raised in a blog post[0] announcing "a new kind of open source organization".

The title of this submission here in HN is taken from that blog post to give some context for the whole situation. I believe that it's a better title than simply copying the title of the forum post.

I saw this issue raised in a Mastodon post[1] where the poster said:

> Looks like Google is trying to gain even more control in the open source world. Don't ever give away your rights to them.

In these times, and under these circumstances, would you trust the Open Usage Commons when it appears to have such close ties with the organisation whose motto was once "Don't be evil", then changed it to "Do the right thing"?

The issue with templates is that you can’t really type check them at the point of definition. Instead they need to be checked each time the template is used.

This can make compilation slow but it can also make template writing very hard because a bug might only appear when a template is instantiated with certain types.

Exactly this. Apple intentionally cripples MobileSafari to push developers to the App Store where they get 30%. They have contrived the whole system so that all roads lead to Apple getting their cut.

No other browser engines. No sideloading. No other app stores. No other payment processors in the App Store. There is no way out of their labyrinth.
I don't want side-loading apps on iPhone. The moment you allow side-loading you can no longer trust the apps on a phone. Is it really facebook or was facebook removed and replaced with something else.
>Create a new society formed from ... non-heirchial power structures.

Has there been a functional example of that? I guess perhaps hunter gatherers but not sure that scales.
You're really quite clueless.
obviously the software should have some guarantees, just like cars have safety standards. But those should not be too strict to stifle competition, nor should companies be allowed to say "it s illegal to modify your car's firmware"
Recycling for Battery EVs is going to be a much more thriving industry as the designers are taking care of these things. Also i believe mining the batteries for the constituents will always be valuable.

If the Tesla 1 million mile battery is as real as the CATL 1 million mile claimed battery, an electric car is actually going to last at least 3x that of an ICE car assuming all other components (motors, body, powertrain) is also improved.

Brakes already last longer whereas because total no of components in EV is much lower (literally like 10x less moving parts) maintenance is also much, much easier.

You need to educate yourself on how rapidly EV manufacturing, recycling and other aspects are evolving.
Less of a problem != no problem.
Not all property is monopoly. I own my phone but no one has to use my phone to make calls, there are other sources of phones and places to make a call. If I lived in a town where I was the only person with a phone and was charging people to use it then that would be a monopoly. It's about demand as well as supply. There is no demand to use my phone specifically over any other phone.
Indeed, you're actually following the 3 steps. Your "thing" just happens to be family & friends, so naturally the best place to live for doing that is where those people are.

Saves a lot of work with step three! All the best.
Regarding the 30% cut.

It's the large scale clients that are hurt the most by the 30% cut. Old timer indie devs who used to have to manage payment and distribution themselves, like Jeff Vogel, will tell you that Steam's cut is absolutely fair given the value it brings. On PC there are different platforms competing for Steam, which might be a reason why Valve introduced discount tiers for more successful titles. If an outcome of the PR stunt is that Apple decreases its cut, it will likely be a similar arrangement which does not benefit the small businesses.

The issue with the App Store is not the cut, but that it is the only gate to the iOS walled garden.
If you follow Apple's financial reporting, they need to make up for lost revenue from declining iPhone sales growth, and they've stated they will achieve this via service revenue. So if you're in the Apple C-suite right now, why wouldn't you exploit your monopolistic position to impose unpalatable fees such as this 30% cut?
They are trading Apple's reputation in the future (a future in which they will be conveniently uninvolved) for Apple's revenue (and their personal reputations) today. And most Apple shareholders don't care. They'll ride the Apple stock as far as it will go, and then they'll sell as soon as the bottom line begins to reap what is today sown.

Is this not one of the most common refrains among major decision-makers of this era, whether it be business or politics?

In this case, Apple has judged that the consumer doesn't care enough, or doesn't have enough power, to change this calculus. Are they right?
Yes, but logging into a stranger account with your own password is a new word in modern security.
No, I think 1% is processing fees, and a few extra percent are required for the infrastructure (storing files for downloads), maybe a few extra percent on top of that for moderation etc. would pay for the app store, not iOS. That still leaves a lot of room in the 30% Apple have given themselves from every transaction as a payment for developers for hosting their apps.

The development of iOS is not funded by the app store, it's funded by iPhone hardware sales, and iOS is necessary for those iPhone sales - that's why they make iOS, not solely as a platform for third party apps.

The app store adds to the value of iOS, and thus the value of iphones, because of all the work put in by third parties. Apple should be thanking these third party developers, not sucking them dry and trying to force competitors in any domain off their store (e.g. the kindle app doesn't allow purchases and can't even link to the Amazon website because Apple wants a 30% cut of every sale).
Oh PowerToys, you’re back, I’ve missed you so much https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys
Because you have chosen an anti-consumer company?
I'm not against 30% Apple tax. It's their service and they can argue about it. But, the fact that there are no alternative app stores for IOS users, makes it wrong.

At that point it would be far more efficient to just skip the electrolysis, fill your spacecraft with xenon, and use the solar power for ion propulsion. No need for an oxidant when you have sufficient electrical power, so a large portion of the water's mass would be dead weight.
According to the article [1] - App store made 11.5 Billion $ revenue in 2017. That's like 30 million dollars per day. I'm not even going to argue that you need such money to maintain a static binary distribution platform.

I don't think the purpose of these policies are to produce a "better" student population, but are more that a) there are too many qualified applicants for the number of seats and they need a good alibi to justify cutting people basically randomly, and b) the racial aspects are more of an advocacy choice to try to make up for past racial injustices by ironically biasing the system racially.

The latter issue, I don't see a clean cut way to rectify - as an Asian American I get the feeling of being discriminated against, but I also see the power of giving the most discriminated minorities more opportunity to exploit the power that elite degrees bestow.

Personally I end up being OK with affirmative action policies - as much as I'd like a fair system, an unfair system built on past injustices make that impossible, and I'd rather exclusive universities adopt these unfair policies to shift the balance back.
It would be even more accurate if Nespresso gave away free machines on amazon that could only heat water, expected Amazon to advertise them, ship them free to prime customers and handle returns and customer support, and also insisted that pods required to do anything with the machine were exclusively available direct from Nespresso.

Though, in the real world of physical goods Amazon also sells generic pods from all sorts of manufacturers, which Nespresso can’t prevent. Yet Epic demands that they are the only company that can sell hats on Fortnite.
iPhone sales help fund iOS. Apple makes a huge profit. They surely have enough money to sustain iOS by other means. "Poor Apple can’t finance iOS otherwise" is a poor argument.
Are you sure you disabled Google Assistant (via one of two settings) and not the "Google" app which contains significantly more functionality than just the Assistant?
They apply just the same in the standard lib surely? I suppose tooling might be expected to have support for the standard lib, but you're creating a lot more work for tool implementors if there is a large (and presumably evolving) set of "standard" macros. The concern about the reader is definitely still there unless you're expecting every Rust user to memorize which macros are in the standard library.

If the people who could afford Teslas had not bought them, Tesla would have failed as a car company. VW and others would then not be interested in electrification today, and the environment would have been a lot worse off in the long run.

Few would argue that Tesla hasn't significantly sped up the transition towards electric cars. It's easy to fall into the trap of underestimating (or completely forgetting about) effects that are hard to quantify and/or are long-term.
