Would love to know what changes day-to-day. According to CAISO dashboard, they are currently delivering 45 GW, while yesterday they were shedding load before they hit 44 GW. So, what aspect of supply changed? We're importing the same amount but we're getting 5 GW more natural gas supply than yesterday. Are there ... are there nat. gas plants that only operate on weekdays?

Epic says Apple threatens 'catastrophic' response if Fortnite doesn’t comply

> Changing your degree to one that's 'good enough' so you can stay in town? That's setting yourself up for a lifetime of disappointment.

This is exactly what I did.

I went to a good school and was in a great program for getting my Software Engineering degree. But it was expensive, student life seemed detached from reality, and I was piling on debt. I decided to leave and live with my parents while attending a commuter school and getting what many would consider a lesser degree while working 2-3 jobs at a time. Many people (including myself at times) thought I was heading down the wrong road, and had questioned my decisions.

I ended up with very little debt, had multiple job offers by my junior year, and now I'm living a life I could only dream of. I don't mean to toot my horn or whatever, I just think that what you said isn't always the case. I have no regrets for getting a 'good enough' degree, and think it was one of the best decisions of my life for various reasons.

Meditation and other religious practices are always means to an end. Even if the end is actually unknown or shrouded in religious mystery. Thus, it is very important to be clear on what one actually wants to achieve with a particular practice. If you want to achieve something, but use the wrong means, at some point you'll realize that you're wasting time and effort. But if you don't know what you're after, you just walk farther and farther into the woods.
Well...OpenBSD runs on a lot of "antiquated" architectures because it started as a fork of NetBSD, which supports/supported even more architectures. Both Open and Net have pared down the definition of 'supported' and the number of archs they support over the years.

The support for "antiquated" architectures has a lot to do with them being OPEN

Not exactly...I recall Theo called it OPEN because he felt the NetBSD crew wasn't. NetBSD was around first, recall, and one of their core principles is wide portability, where OpenBSD took on the mantle of correctness and security and portability came along for the ride. Both side of the unpleasant history are documented; the truth is somewhere in the middle, of course.

That said, both crews advocate building on multiple architectures as a solid best practice to turn up 'interesting' programming issues. For example, Theo has stated that SPARC/SPARC64 porting is particularly useful for finding unaligned memory accesses (Alpha didn't like them either).

I'll leave out my own experience in dealing with the 'OpenBSD attitude' other than to say 'generally less than pleasant'. I still use OpenBSD daily, tho more for infrastructure (FW, DNS, DHCP, LDAP) than as a desktop.
Having everything locked behind a single App Store is the perfect way for the government to enforce bans without building a “great firewall”. It’s no coincidence that a few days after Trump signed an executive order to ban TikTok/WeChat then Epic (heavily backed by Tencent) engaged in a PR-focused lawsuit that would encourage Apple to allow side-loading apps, which, if implemented, would allow Chinese companies to easily bypass the ban. It’s also worth noting that apps are already violating people’s privacy in so many ways (the latest example is copying clipboard text while running in the background) - without the App Store then there’s no doubt that the privacy violations would become even worse.

> What took me aback was the withdrawing permission to notarise their apps for Mac. That was only meant to be a check for known vulnerabilities/malicious software.

When I brought up that Notarization was going to be used to gatekeep (literally with Gatekeeper[1]) access to the macOS platform, I was assured it would only be used for security and never for evil.

Apple only made Notarization mandatory this February, too, so that didn't take long at all.

AWS KMS use case with Serverless Application Model (SAM): An end to end solution
Well, I have to make some assumption about your use of a word. In this case, the options I perceived were literal force or hyperbole. In the interest of responding to the "strongest plausible interpretation"[0] of your comment, I assumed the latter.

Since you reject that assumption, I'll respond to the former instead:

There's a clear difference between the two scenarios - one uses physical force (the stolen bike example), the other (Google) does not. For this reason alone, they are incomparable.

Regarding "aggressive force": I never claimed you used the phrase. I'm merely characterizing the stolen bike example. There are two kinds of force that can be used in this context - aggressive and defensive. Aggressive force is force used against a person or their property against their will; defensive force is force used in prevention of aggression. Stealing a bike is clearly an example of the former.

> Also, on macOS, you were sold the explicit ability to run whatever software you want. It's purpose is to run software from third-parties.

I agree with that, and I think there would be a much stronger argument if Apple changed MacOS to remove this ability when it is a very well-established ability of the Mac platform. Of course, Apple almost certainly will not remove this ability, not because they want to be nice or they want to dodge antitrust allegations, but because they know that doing so would lose them customers.

But with iPhone, my argument is that this is absolutely not the expectation fostered by Apple's marketing or held by the vast majority of iPhone owners. Apple has always been very proud of its App Store and its (supposedly) strict vetting process to protect iPhone owners from malware, privacy violations, and other junk. Now, I personally think Apple should be much more restrictive about what apps it allows in the store, because there is a vast wasteland of abandoned apps and junk apps. If anything, the iPhone seems to have gotten less and less restrictive over time (the first iPhone didn't even support any third-party software, after all). I have a lot of trouble buying the argument that any significant number of iPhone owners expected to be able to run any third-party software they want to.
I support you wholeheartedly, survival of the fittest and evolution show us it's the only way to ensure getting better as species, but current point of view (equal opportunities, maximum protection) all but guarantees those who scream louder survive, not those whos skills are more useful in a long run .

Review: Sailing to Java (1998)
> Shouldn't engineers who design social media algorithms have some basic knowledge of social dynamics and psychology?

Firstly, let’s not reduce decision making to something only software engineers do because typically product managers have huge, even the most, responsibility on product decisions.

Secondly, what makes you think they (incl. engineers) don’t have that basic knowledge? Most software people I know are autodidacts at heart and are interested in social domains just as much. These people are also fed the warm data from their social software systems and can robustly hypothesise on them (they have to) because features based on those hypotheses is applied back to real life next quarter.

If they are following dark patterns, it is not for lack of knowledge on social dynamics or psychology, but because they would follow normativities of growth and engagement rather than social good.

Looking to social sciences, there seems to be a huge variability on how reputable and reliable their knowledge making machinery nowadays works. Hoax paper crises demonstrated that there are at least some weak spots that are very gameable.

I don’t mean this as an insult to social sciences but we could also say if engineers attended church or participated in any religious or spiritual practice to deepen their moral understandings it could be a force of good, but we can’t prescribe that exposure because it would be too ideological. I fear the same might be the motivation here.
Just FYI, they have almost fully upgraded their fleet to GippsAero GA8 Airvan's.
I have to respectfully disagree here. Smart watches are not really useful in most on-the-go situations. E.g., on a subway and wanting to read the news or play a game.
Typescript programming invariably results in time spent figuring out how to properly type otherwise valid JavaScript code, ie debugging code that doesn't wind up in your app. In a large app, the types can be their own special form of spaghetti. The typing system is clunky and inelegant compared to Elm, which is what I would use for a non-JavaScript frontend. I'd never greenfield a project with TS if I could avoid it.
Right now, if I was running some open source OS on an open source hardware, with random 3rd party unverified apps, etc. - I would have no confidence in myself to keep that thing secure.

I agree that things like openssh can be more secure because there is a huge number of individuals and corporations using it, there are a lot of eyes on it. It is open source and secure.

That's not the same as something as big as an iPhone. iPhone is an ecosystem of apps, cloud data, biometrics, hardware encryption (secure enclave), etc. and finally the physical device.
I approach this very differently in my job. Part of my work is training operators of nuclear power plants on their procedures and reactor principles and then testing them to evaluate their knowledge on a periodic basis.

If everyone at work is sharing work on evaluations, then all it tells me is that someone in the building has the requisite knowledge, which I hope is a very disconcerting thought to anyone living in a country where nuclear plants are operated.

This united front you describe is great for addressing large problems, but applying it in this context is a barrier to individual growth.
Sneaks API: An API for sneaker heads
The Sneaks App is a [website](https://sneaks-app.com) that allows users to search sneakers, get product information and compare prices from StockX, Flight Club, Goat and Stadium Goods through the [Sneaks API](https://github.com/druv5319/Sneaks-API)

The reason I built this API is so developers are able to create sneaker based programs and websites without having to fumble with scrapping information on all 4 resell websites.

Here’s a [demo](https://sneaks-app.com) of the Sneaks App using the [Sneaks API](https://github.com/druv5319/Sneaks-API)

I’d love to see what projects you guys can come up with this API! I always looking for improvements within the API so feel free to fork, edit, then submit a pull request. If you have any issues, submit an issue through the github
I'm not really following the logic here, what rules are keeping it open? Apple is allowed to make stupid mistakes, there is an alternative market, just only one, and, it's clear no force is keeping Apple from doing exactly what it wants currently.
Stallman is a difficult person to like and he is wrong about many things, but not about this, the central issue of his career.
Do you honestly think Apple is going to keep this true for Macs in 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? I think there is slim to none chance that they give a shit about the "openness"of Mac.

As far as I'm concerned, Mac openness is just a cat that got out of the bag, before anyone knew they could produce a _mint_ from rent seeking walled garden platforms. I find it highly unlikely Apple is not looking to correct this mistake on Mac, even if it's done so gradually that by the time the pull the trigger, no one even bats an eye.
That's exactly my point. When a game developer made a game using UE, their investment to also making a Mac port is negligible, so even if the market on Macs are small it's still worth doing for most cases. When UE on Mac is no longer an option, if they want a Mac port they need to pour some real resources into the Mac port. Consider the small market they are more likely to just skip that.
They really are related. Modern art museums are something you endure to complete assignments for unpleasant humanities courses that are required for your degree. Most of the content is disgusting or boring.

We can look Deep Learning's growing demands for computation and despair, or view those growing demands as an economic incentive to develop more powerful hardware that uses energy more efficiently at a lower marginal cost and in a more sustainable manner.

In other words, Deep Learning's growing need for computing power seems to have reached a point at which it is now motivating fundamental research to find greener, cheaper, more energy-efficient hardware.

The economic incentives are very powerful: Whichever companies (or organizations, or countries) find ways to harness the most computing power at the lowest marginal cost will win the race in this market.

PS. The same could be said for Bitcoin mining: it is also motivating fundamental research to develop greener, cheaper, more energy-efficient, more powerful hardware. Whoever finds ways to harness the most computing power at the lowest marginal cost will make the most money processing transactions on the network.
Why are you wondering about that when there are concepts for "seasteading" in international waters?
The only time in the past decade that I can think of where they used that power to remove anything other than malware on any platform, was to remove the Zoom daemon that Zoom was using to bypass Installer.app permission checks, which made sense to Apple — and to HN, at the time — because it was considered malicious/exploitable.

Should they have not exercised that right, and left us all at risk — even though the daemon itself wasn't malware, nor had it been abused for such purposes by anyone?
Given that there are lawsuits in place pretty sure they aren't going to lie about it.

Perhaps it can. (Though the number of companies that can afford to train it is rather small.) But can $5 trillion be extracted from GPT-6? Even if it can, who can afford to train it?
Neither of those sentences is living in reality. Nobody's threatening children with a worse solution, we already have the worse solution, our children are already inhaling the pollution. You can choose to keep it or choose to lessen the pollution. As far as pollution goes, there's little difference between bikes and whatever alternative you're proposing (walking?). Walking doesn't pollute, bikes don't pollute, cars do pollute heavily. Bikes aren't a bad solution to pollution, they are a perfectly good solution. One of many.

> Designing things around bikes, and then everyone needs a bike, is a worse option than designing everything around humans (instead of some kind of vehicle).

I'd fully agree we should design things around humans, but where are people designing cities primarily around bikes? And what, exactly, are the problems we actually have with bikes? Not the fear-mongering made-up FUD, but real problems that exist already. Bike parking space is not an actual problem today. What is?

What does it mean - exactly - to design around humans? You could argue the problems we have are because we designed around human convenience already, and allowed our walking space to be paved and prioritized for cars.

Your arguments are vassellating between comparing to cars and then not comparing to cars. What's the goal post here? Are you demanding something perfect, or do you want to improve considerably over the crappy position we're in with cars? Is removing all vehicles entirely a realistic goal? Is redesigning all the largest cities on earth, and getting everyone to work within a mile of where they live realistic? Why are you trying so hard to lump non-motorized vehicles together with motorized vehicles? There is a large difference between having a gas-consuming engine and not having one, don't you agree?
High product margins are usually signs of monopolistic powers used, otherwise profits would slowly move towards cost as time goes forward.

That's not freedom. Most users are going to think the unsigned app just doesn't work, and almost none of them are going to know that there is a magic ritual they need to perform in the Settings app to launch the program they wanted to run in the first place.

The difference is that if Fortnite abuses its power, it is relatively easy to build another MMORPG competitor. If Apple abuses its power, it's practically impossible to build another mobile platform to compete today. Even Microsoft failed with that.

The bottom line is that Fortnight can have practical competition (that for example offer 3rd party plugins or lower prices), while the iPhone only has Android as competition, which is taking the exact same 30% cut.
B1900 is a few steps up. They have single engine turboprops (Pilatus PC-12 and Cessna Caravan) and the much more common ex-military King Air (the B1900's smaller ancestor.)

Mandate masks or don't. It's a boolean policy decision. Not making that is doing nothing with respect to that policy.

I'm sympathetic to your argument about unintended consequences, and you could even turn out to be right. But if I had to bet on which policy decision would be smarter, I'm still going to go for mandatory masks. I think in the end assuming that masks will work on that level is more likely given what we know, than assuming there is an unknown unintended consequence so powerful it negates the usefulness of masks completely.
Not all agreements are enforceable. For example, non-compete agreements are not enforceable in California. There's nothing honorable about Apple, it's just like every other company [1].

> Epic didn't take Fortnite off of the App store. If it's about your freedom, then talk to the people who did take it off.

This isn’t a good argument. Epic did something with the intention of getting removed from the store. Sure, Apple was the one who removed them, but Epic violates Apple’s TOS.
