Nobody knows because there are no market forces to determine what the cut should be. Nobody can distribute apps other than Apple, they just declare that they want/need 30% and everybody else has to pay it.

Conveniently, the year that Harvard was sued for discrimination against Asians, the % of admitted Asians skyrocketed to 25%. Previous years it was about 33% lower.

And Asian Americans have an 8% admit rate going back to 1995, the lowest of all ethnicities.
imho, with c++'s variadic templates doing the equivalent there is quite trivial.
Hello, fellow hide glue geek.

If you're not already familiar with it, here's a gem of a document called "Hide Glue in the Modern Workshop" [0].

I really like Old Brown Glue too, but shipping it from America is prohibitively expensive for me so I started cooking my own. My usual recipe is 0.2 parts urea, 1 part hide glue flakes, 1.5 parts water (by weight), heated to 60-70 degrees celsius, chilled rapidly, then heated again and chilled again (not sure why or if two heat and cooling cycles are necessary, but it works so I'm not trying to fix it). The result is indistinguishable from OBG.

I have also tried the "123" recipe of 1 part table salt, 2 parts glue flakes, 3 parts water (by volume) but it inhibits the gelling too much and the drying times are too long for my taste. However, it works better than the urea recipe in cooler temperatures.

I'll send an email to the address you have in your HN profile. Reply if you want to geek out about natural adhesives and woodworking in general.

You are very right. To be blunt, the OP needs to be called out on his BS. I personally, lived in the SV area for over a decade (single and very frugal) made good salary (non FAANG companies) but my savings though substantial, were nowhere near what the OP is claiming. It is simply not possible.

I am not sure why people on HN state/claim all sorts of outrageous salaries in the Bay area. It gives a very distorted view of reality and frankly harmful to both employers and employees.
True, that is why Android and feature phones rule in such countries, not iOS, thus making a moot point when customers aren't using Apple devices anyway.
Woops, forgot to remove that last line; thanks for pointing it out!
Are you saying the compiler itself does the checking? That is a pity. Compiler magic for a checking a fixed specific format system (I don't know about D, but that's what you're describing in C printf) is significantly worse the compile-time checking being written in the language itself.

What if you, as library author (not compiler writer!), think of a much better formatting system? Or something that's maybe not better in general, but better for an unusual situation you're deploying in? Or you want to write something that's different to a formatting system but uses similar tricks? If you don't have language facilities to do this yourself then you're stuffed.

As well the original post showing it's possible in Rust, this is also possible in C++. For example, the C++ fmt [1] library allows compile-time time checking of the number of slots in format strings against the number of arguments, and even that the format specifications (.03d or whatever) match the passed in types. And it's not reliant on the compiler doing its own magic checking outside of the language.

> Yale uses race as a factor in multiple steps of the admissions process and that Yale “racially balances its classes.”

The situation of Jews in the Soviet Union's does not apply too well here because the real vs. stated reasoning behind it were very different. But I see a lot of parallels with the gender and racial discrimination in the workplace in current times. So there is precedent on legally using race or gender in a selection process.

When it comes to fixing past discrimination in the workplace it is already considered legally acceptable to have quotas until the situation is brought back to balance. Such a quota all but guarantees that at some point some candidates will have to be rejected based on gender or race even if they would be otherwise accepted. The split was set around the actual gender/race split of the population. For example California's gender or racial diversity bills proposed that at least at Board of Directors level although I don't know if they were ever passed into law. Needless to say, with or without such a law companies all over the world publicly advertise their equality focused hiring targets so I must assume they're not just outing themselves as breaking the law.

Is this the case here? The article doesn't really provide that many concrete details and I can imagine a lot of implications coming out of this. Is Yale doing this to have a balance of races based on the split in the population? Are they just arbitrarily picking a ratio for this? What impact will a decision here to eliminate any race criteria from the admission have on already established measure to explicitly consider race or gender as part of the process? What happens if one group ends up naturally being over-represented?

We'll have to start paying more attention to equality of opportunity vs. equality of outcome. And whatever is decided at some point we'll also have to start being consistent, not just chase conflicting targets based on what each administration sees as a priority at the time.
These things can all be managed an automated using ansible/salt/etc -- containers just add another layer of abstraction to manage/maintain/understand/etc.

To everyone that is supporting Apple's position, let me run this hypothetical by you:

You buy a Nespresso machine on Amazon. Some amount of the purchase price goes to Amazon for facilitating the transaction and delivering it to you, some goes to Nespresso for actually making the device. Cool. Then you get a pod subscription from Nespresso – let's say there is a touch screen on the coffee machine itself where you enter your details to subscribe. Now, Nespresso ships pods to your house every month. Amazon then says that because the machine was originally bought on Amazon, they are entitled to a 30% cut of that ongoing subscription price, even though the subscription is neither facilitated nor fulfilled by Amazon.

I think we can all agree that would be ridiculous.

That is what Apple is doing.
The simple answer is allowing users to install their own applications on their devices.

If the App Store is worth the 30% cut, let them compete for it.

I don't think it's worth the cut. I think the overwhelming majority of people download apps they already trust directly from the source (like they do on computers), and the App Store provides exactly zero value in that use case.
This was not meant about me as an individual, but...

I’ve got way more than I need in life.

Riches should be judged differently - I have a really nice home in an somewhat expensive city, clean tap water, comparatively clean air and access to all the healthy food I can ever want. Also great healthcare and schooling, cause welfare state and all that.

Let’s start there.

I could buy a tesla if I really really wanted to, but there’s no need. I’d have to take a car loan, but most who buy a tesla do I reckon.

A car half the price suits my needs, and no loans.
This means I’m comparatively super rich.

I don't see how consoles fix the issue, aren't they just another choice you have to make? There's three major ones and exclusivity is blocked behind a $400 paywall and having to use entirely different hardware.

The vast majority of games are available just on steam, if having choice bothers you just pick steam or maybe epic (but steam probably has more) and ignore the rest.

This is a bizarre argument to me. Can you imagine if there was only one supermarket brand, or only one department store. Don't you think that might turn out badly?

If it's really DRM that bothers you then the only big option is GOG.
On the other hand, I don't think it's a good idea to mix the controllers with the route definitions. How I configure or set up the routes should not be in the controller classes, that should be a separate thing.

It's easier to see all the routes in that file instead of searching for them in the controller, especially as you said, in a moderately sized project, I can't be bothered to search or check the controllers. (You can counter argue that I can just Ctrl+F it). When you open up the routes file, you can see all your definitions in one place, which might ease the onboarding of new devs for example.
This is fundamentally missing the point about what story points are, and goes to show you’re unfortunately stuck in another of the many companies using them poorly.

Many (poor) product managers look at velocity dropping and blame the team, or try to pack sprints. In fact, this is the time to open dialogue with the team and get to the bottom of why.

Often, it’s because tech debt or poor architecture is making it difficult to implement even simple features. The team might be burning out. There might be an overwhelming number of bugs and support tickets that need to be addressed.

Story points aren’t a target to hit, or even a KPI. They’re a barometer for team and process health. Unfortunately most engineering and product managers either don’t get it, or are unable to appropriately communicate that fact upwards.
Largely because Apple's restrictions seem to be much stricter than any other store, and lately are rubbing a lot of very big companies the wrong way.

Were sideloading permitted I could see, for example, an Epic App Store, with their 12% cut and lessened restriction on external payment processing, being a popular place for apps to move to.
European here, is stating your ethnicity normal on uni applications? What is the reasoning behind that? To me it seems very odd as being female in IT I try to hide it when I can (having resume without photo etc) and I would be outraged if we had to state our ethnicity/religion/other on resume.

Epic probably plans to win the case and force Apple to loosen restrictions on iOS.

No, you can run native ARM apps sourced from outside the windows store.
Because that's how the market works for buying anything.

It's like saying: how is it better to have multiple supermarkets to buy the stuff i want, if they offer the same product at different prices? Well... it's an option, nobody forces you to do it. You can always go to the same place, and know that there's going to be times when you pay more, and times when you pay less.

But you also have the chance to check on other store's offers and buy there if you want.

> How is having to navigate N stores

You don't "have to". In the end, more offer = better for consumers. It's up to each individual person to decide if they want to find better prices or just go to their default place.

Beautiful summary of why trends are cyclical. Problems with current trend lead to invention of new trend. Everyone jumps to new trend. Eventually people find problems with new trend but they've now forgotten the problems with old trend so begin to move back.
I don't think the real world works very well for these metaphors (like the parent's OEM metaphor). What if Walmart required you to generate a username and password, confirm your email, and store your payment info before you shopped? When you wanted to make a cake you had to remember which store you purchased flour or chocolate chips from.

I'm not saying Apple is in the right with how it behaves, but as a user more stores have made things like playing PC games, streaming video, and even PC apps suck more.

These are billion dollar companies fighting each other for their benefit. I'm a bit skeptical about what users get.
uuuggg the syntax
>It means ignoring those differences and forcing everyone to get the same benefit in life even though some are less productive than others ("to each according to his need").

I'm not convinced. The slogan specifically recognises differences in needs, and therefore differences in 'income' under a socialist system. This is concordant with Marx's other writing on the matter. It means that in terms of what people need, they'll have access to it. But people have different needs. How can the 'outcomes' possibly be equal if the outcomes are a result of concrete, different needs and life situations? The outcome of a mother of three being given what they need is different from the outcome of a single civil engineer. Both the inputs (based on what they need) and the outputs (the outcomes) vary between each person.

Further, in every society as Marx notes, there is some amount of surplus. If everyone's needs are covered, Marx argued for an allocation based on contribution, at least in the lower phase of Communism (sometimes called socialism). Let's go into what Marx actually said:

>Accordingly, the individual producer receives back from society – after the deductions have been made – exactly what he gives to it. What he has given to it is his individual quantum of labor. For example, the social working day consists of the sum of the individual hours of work; the individual labor time of the individual producer is the part of the social working day contributed by him, his share in it. He receives a certificate from society that he has furnished such-and-such an amount of labor (after deducting his labor for the common funds); and with this certificate, he draws from the social stock of means of consumption as much as the same amount of labor cost. The same amount of labor which he has given to society in one form, he receives back in another. [0]

So it seems that Marx proposes a system, his 'lower phase of Communism', which Lenin took to mean 'socialism' - in which people get out what they put in, accounting for deductions (which Marx enumerates as deductions for health care, education, care for those who cannot work, provisions in the case of disaster, and expansion of production). In what possible way does "everyone get the same outcome" here? More,

>Further, one worker is married, another is not; one has more children than another, and so on and so forth. Thus, with an equal performance of labor, and hence an equal in the social consumption fund, one will in fact receive more than another, one will be richer than another, and so on.

Does this sound like 'equality of outcome'?

The position of arguments is actually not required to follow the format string. From the documentation:

println!("{1} {} {0} {}", 1, 2); // => "2 1 1 2"

But you are right, you cannot dynamically change the format string.
If you need this facility, there is the runtime_fmt crate which will parse the format string at runtime instead of compile time. That of course means that it can fail at runtime if the format string does not match the arguments.

As a european I don't get why americans are so obsessed about race. I would never even think of writing about my skin color on a university application. That seems very foreign to me. People today are making the same old mistakes, just treat everyone the same and it'll sort itself out over time.

Such an obvious thing imo, but now it's simply popular to discriminate against whites and asian people. Awesome, we've come full circle.

Especially if all of those people have education. Keeping worker count high by omitting their education is very wrong.

I personally think that anything but basing it on merit is wrong due to X factors:

1. If you reject someone based on race, no matter which, it is racism
2. Those that got in due to quotas, even if they are the most qualified are gonna be having doubts about if they only got in through the quota and are in reality not good enough.
3. There is a stark difference in the percentage of male/female/black/white/etc that go into different fields. Basing it on the wider population would not even be close to approaching a representative percentage. Also: local differences, which basically makes the whole attempting to represent the percentage of the population moot.

As an example: There are barely any women working in sewers, should they have quotas for getting about 50% of the sewer workers to be female?

In short: Quotas are bad for everyone, are especially hurting those they claim to help and are completely misguided anyways.
Yes, it is fairly normal. US universities attempt to control the percentages of each ethnicity using a short list of ethnic buckets.

I believe certain government universities are not permitted to do this (the UC system?)

No, nor would I ever.

> Are you satisfied?

Yes, I am.
Not claiming that it's perfect - everything has it's benefits and downsides, and it's always a question of using the right tool for the job. But in my case, the way I work, the benefits of containers very clearly outweigh the downsides by a large margin. So much so, that I'd still be using containers for local development, even if the production environment was non-containerized. Switching between projects with different setups has never been so easy.

> Must build an image before deploying and it takes time, so deploys are slow

Deployments sure can be slow. A full deployment to AWS can take 10 to 15 minutes for me. But it comes with zero downtime - which is top priority for my systems. The load balancer only spins down the old instances, after the new ones are up and running (yes, I have multiple containers, and multiple instances of each container running at the same time). I can build the new containers, fully test them locally, and only deploy them AFTER I know everything is fine. And I can 100% rely on the fact that the deployed containers are exactly identical to what I tested locally.

> If I need quick hot fix RIGHT NOW, I can't just log in, change couple of lines and restart, must go through full deploy cycle.

I completely stopped doing that over 15 years ago. Back then I started modifying files locally, pushing them to versioning and then pulling the new version on production. That helped to avoid so much pain, that I'm never going back ever. No way.

While it would be possible to setup a container to pull the newest source on every startup (thus allowing hot fixes through versioning as described above) - I actually prefer to build containers, test them locally, and only deploy them, once I know everything works. This way I rarely ever need fast hot fixes in the first place.

It's just my way of doing things - and for me containers are the right tool for the job. That does of course not mean, that they are the right choice for everyone. But I'm currently doing a lot of things that I think are pretty great, which would be outright impossible without containers.

> Must remember that launched containers do not close when ssh breaks connection and they can easily linger for a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately no one will start their own store because that is huge investment.

You have the chicken and egg problem there. There are no apps so no users and no one is going to add apps because you don't have users.

Big companies could make their own apps to promote their own shop but let's be honest they would have to put a lot of money to get something good that everyone would use, not just generic crap.
