Different race happen to be correlated with different cultural values.

One particular cultural value is caring a whole lot about education and prestigious degrees (see the test prep industry in most of asia).

I have no problem with people who value education getting an edge in admissions. So even in a race-blind world, I am okay with outcomes not matching population statistics. Because in a world where you're solely judged based on your values that's exactly what you'd see.

But what's happening is that two different people can both adopt this same "education" value and have different outcome because of their race. The opportunities are not equal, not for blacks, not for asians.
Introduce income tax. Use the tax money to build infrastructure that allows for concentrated mega growth which kills off traditional economies and destroys thousands of years of crafting knowledge, and then introduce increasingly severe policies in order to manage the unexpected side-effects. The new policies create more side-effects and lead to more policies. Repeat Until you have so many laws and taxes are so high that the majority of people can’t compete in the economy because they can’t afford lawyers to navigate the law in the way the entrenched can, so they either start living off the government, or if their mental state didn’t survive the humiliating degradation of the whole process, they live on the street. New policies are introduced etc...
The situation can’t continue. How does it end?
Your intuition is wrong. Valuable resources are abundant in asteroids for one simple reason: gold and other industrially useful metals heavier than iron sink in magma. When the earth formed, they sank to the core.

Indeed what gold and other rare(-ish) metals we mine today are largely the remains of asteroid impacts which deposited metals into the crust of this planet after formation, then got mixed around by plate tectonics and water cycles. Go to the source and you’ll fine pure, reduced metals at the original concentrations.

Like for example, there are near earth asteroids classified as “non-metal” types that are 1-4% gold and platinum group metals by weight, which would totally make them valuable ores on Earth. Let me emphasize these are the non-metal asteroids.
No idea, but honestly I would not spend my time on writing such a patch yet , only if I intend to create a great snap store to rival Canonical , otherwise we have enough working alternatives for all use cases that are not about third party binaries that are reviewed by Canonical.
Well, Epic pulls games from other stores and they make exclusive deals, so yes, they actually can stop other stores from coming up through indirect means.
If I'm reading your humor correctly I think I've fallen into some semantical trap instead of a serious critique. In which case, I will play along.

However, the topic at hand is 'equal' in a decidedly subjective sense. Even if you have two identical hydrogen atoms, they still might differ in some sort of property you may or may not find significant to the concept of equality. Location perhaps? Can any two things be "truly homogeneous" while remaining distinct entities? True object homogeneity was not intended by my use of the term 'equal.' Does that satisfy the concern? :)
They already have an incentive to promote and sell apps: if the ecosystem has more/better apps, then more people will want to buy an iPhone/iPad.

They've explicitly stated this in their marketing: "There's an app for that."

Apple is stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place, and the only way out is to win multiple legal battles.
The open-source community doesn't like Microsoft because Microsoft is hostile to open-source. It's their MO to embrace things first and people with short memories laud them for it every time. It's very disingenuous to quote their hostility as one of the problems when really it's a logical historical development. They're going to have to put in a lot more effort to make amends for all the terrible things they've done over the years.

But all of that is really beside the point. Saying the "community" needs to fix it means they won't put time or effort into doing it themselves, which by extension means the integration will most likely never be as good as what they have prioritised. This will relegate their "cross-platform" solution to the realm of all the other frameworks: Bad.
You can setup fail2ban to permanently add brute-force tries to a proper firewall, like cloudflare.

That's how I've set it up. If they try to login 30 times in an 1 hour, then it's definitely not a legit user in any case.

When it's blocked on the firewall level, before it reach your server, then your server don't need to handle the request at all.

Rust's macros aren't hacky though? I would understand this point better if you were talking about C's macros, but macros in Rust are hygienic so don't suffer the same pitfalls.
It’s the internet - people invest time in all sorts of things, arguing their beliefs high among them.

I’ve now read the actual comments - frankly whether you agree with them or not they seem perfectly reasonable arguments to consider and I think the discussion is better if people wrestle with both sides of the debate.

Without ant context that seems like an outrageously ignorant comment. (In saying that most companies probably are doing many things wrong).
One thing I don't like about the macro is that it looks like the passed variable has been borrowed and you can't use it again. But that's not true. You can use it again and again even though you passed by value.

Why is an iPhone an essential part of life? Gaming consoles are cheaper than iPhones and you can often order previous gen Consoles like the 3DS directly from Nintendo's online store for an even lower price.

Am I the only one, who finds it deeply ironic, that increasingly many modern websites are primarily designed for small screens, effectively giving up on designing for large screens? Presumably because designing for widely diverging screen sizes adds a ton of work.

And the large screen is about to increasingly become just a surface for viewing multiple small screen apps simultaneously (e.g. iOS apps on MacOS). And arguably a lot of that could be done with rather plain HTML.

Seems like the universe is indeed oscillating.
They're obviously not interested in what's better or they would expand to accept them all! But if they grow, they'll dilute their elite status.
You’re a little out of date! SoHO is largely shut down, has been for a decade now. Its tent pole instruments were replaced by SDO in 2010. (https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/mission/)

Both of these are NASA, not NSF, observatories. They were (SoHO) and are (SDO) amazing resources that have advanced the whole area of heliophysics.

DKIST (NSF) has a 4m aperture. Unbelievable for a solar telescope, and of course, impossible to fly under reasonable NASA heliophysics budgets.
You never had it. It has always been an illusion. Now this just got harder to ignore.
The algorithm is supposed to be "simply asks for the student's grade divided by the average GPA at their school".

Yours would put students at schools with other good students at disadvantage against those who go to less competitive schools.

The assumption that students in different schools should have the same average is likely wrong.
I would not be shocked to learn that decent share of those 2.2 million was earned by either mining or speculating with crypto currency. There definitely was some money to be made there in the past 10 years.

Another factor in favor of going solo is that the ratio of deadwood at your company is going to be either zero or one.

That is, if you're genuinely good at building things, you're going to build your thing quickly. There's nobody to drag you down, no slow backend guy blocking you from implementing the frontend or vice versa. Or maybe you find out it was you doing the blocking all along, which is also handy to know.
Indeed, you can't share in that case. The work of the distributor, as described in the article, is to make them share by unifying all those and requiring libraries to have stable ABI.

> if a company advertises a product as a walled garden, specifically claims that one of the things it does is to vet and prohibit apps which violate their guidelines

Could you please show me such an advertisement? I do not really follow Apple, and have failed to encounter it.

Further, what if I'm a user, who wants to purchase the hardware (and even operating system), but does not want the added security. Mind you that Apple has their own CPU and OS which is unlike anything in the competition. Don't I also buy the product for those benefits, and don't I have a right as a consumer to opt out of arbitrary limitations that I have no option but accepting?

In the past, you had no option but accepting tracking cookies in every website, GDPR showed that as a society, we decided to force companies to provide an option.
>— 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.

yes you can. you need to have your containers running opensshd. Despite what people tell you, even facebook does this on Tupperware ( Slide 18 of https://www.slideshare.net/Docker/aravindnarayanan-facebook1... ).

Our containers are built using supervisord running the app itself and sshd.

Long term or short term? I don't need a century-level deployment, but I would like to see how long it would survive.
This. I remember an anecdote by Ota Ulč, a Czech writer who escaped communism to emigrate into the USA.

When asked to select his race, Ota didn't realize "Caucasian" applied to him – after all he's Czech, not from Caucasus! So he checked "Other" instead. An honest mistake.

As a result, he got in no problem.
If that system preference ever gets added I want Apple to continue selling a version of iPhone that doesn't have it, with no way to enable it and with a promise to never add it in a future update. I consider not being able to sideload software onto an iPhone to be an important feature! I like knowing that if someone malicious with moderate but not extraordinary technical ability gets ahold of my unlocked phone they are limited in their ability to compromise it in a way that persists through a restart. I.e. what any border guard can demand on entering any country I can think of. If I used an Android phone I would destroy it if it left my sight unlocked and I didn't know what had happened while it was away.

I have root access to plenty of hardware devices. I don't need root access to every hardware device I own. What am I going to do with that capability on an iPhone, sideload Fortnite? No thanks, this is the device I use to check my email.
I replied to your other comment explaining this, games were already de-facto Steam exclusives with very few exceptions.

Epic games became a new choice, and in an attempt to break the status wui, offered incentives for devs to not join the de-facto PC gaming store in an attempt to force them to give developers more favorable revenue splits

They've stated multiple times this is all about how Steam's revenue split should be moved to 88/12.

-

Steam no longer provides the level of service to these developers as they did when the splits were established anyways.

Once upon a time Steam was highly curated and publishing to Steam could conceivably replace a "normal" publishing push just by virtue of how many eyeballs each game got.

Now thiusands of games are announced a day, it's become a cesspool of crud not worth even looking at, and at this point it's just a fancy frontend for Steamworks, a download page, and payment processing (none of which is worth 30% of revenue)
There are people all across the system who fail have a poor understanding of how machine learning works, especially in the enterprise AI market. The most common hurdle I have seen is having to explain to salespeople and customers that models are not perfect - they often fail on known unknowns and unknown unknowns. No matter how simple to understand you try to make it using charts and lift curves, every model failure has a potential for customer escalation, costing hundreds of engineering and support hours and depressing margins.

Discoverability is a big one. There are indies who do have their own stores, and they ask their fans to buy through them, but majority of their sales still come from Steam.
There are some indies who are quite open with their numbers you can google around and find the details. Steam sales are also huge for old games.

But even distribution is still an issue. Even indi games today are multiple GB in size. And on the first few days of release (or sales or bundles etc.) you have huge download spikes spikes.

Sure you can put it on aws, but better make sure to read you CDN fineprint so you don't end up with astronomical aws bill. In addition steam out of the box support partial updates,which again you can implement on your own, but that too takes time.

Payment. You can google around for problems indies who tried to roll their own store had. Today you have more options some of them explicitly catering to indies but its still an issue. Aditionaly steam supports charging in foreighen currencies, you can lower price in poorer countries etc.

Additionally steam offers their SDK that includes matchmaking and netwrking and host of other feautures, that are used by a lot of games.

Then there is in game chat, friendliest integration, cheat prevention, cloud saves and steam workshop integration, forums (which suck but are still there and have some auto moderation for spam) ...

Sure you could do all of that on your own, but some of it requires quite a bit of effort.
Jailbreaking voids my warranty, could be impossible, and disables a lot of features (OS security updates). It is unreasonable to compare this with another app store.

The lawsuit is about app distribution on iOS as well as the 30% cut.

There won't be anymore than what the web already has. Stripe or Paypal would likely be popular choices. Payment processors are required by law to be PCI compliant, though that doesn't guarantee they are.

Yes I would do payments in a non app store app with their own payment provider if I felt I trusted the app. It's no different than paying on any website (there's no Apple review process for websites).

I'm sorry, but that overrated comic strip is not relevant at all.

It shows three situations, two of which depict normal progress ("there is this useful thing that has flaws because nobody has cared enough to fix those flaws, let's try"; Mr. Gotcha's burn is out of line), and one depicts standard corporate behavior ("a brand is willfully behaving in several ways that the society knows is abusive, and fans of that brand are willfully blind towards that)"; Mr. Gotcha's burn is very much deserved).

In short, one of these things is not like the others.
D simply checks the arguments to printf against the format string. This facility exists as an extension in most C and C++ compilers.

D's writefln() function uses variadic template specializations to achieve a similar result, meaning you can just use `%s` for the formats and writefln() knows how to print each type.
I don't know what I'd do without being able to ssh into VM instances. Whether it's for looking at various logs, the occasional core dump, or uploading a custom binary to test something, it's incredibly time saving.
Restrictions on how much data a website can store prevents this. You can't cache 4GB of game data on a website (maximum in mobile Safari is 5MB for app cache).

Could someone elaborate why it isn't the case with Apple?
>if Apple allowed sideloading then you're experience would be 100% identical

1) Apple allows sideloading, you still can use Cydia, they just don't help you with that.

2) No, because read my post carefully:

> As for apple, yes it asks for 30% fee, and it builds a walled garden. But they also offer what others don't: 8 years of support. I'm totally agree to have a walled garden (convenient enough for me), if I could use my phone for 8 years instead of 2-3 as in the Android case.

> Nobody is harmed and everyone is happy.

No. Learn how incentives work.
A new set of buzzwords will clearly improve application security. /s GitOps in particular is freaking ridiculous. We need a new title for using VCS? I am having a hard time imagining how they could get lower than this. Maybe #writecodethatruns or something like this.

The only thing I noticed that changed with "DevOps", "SRE", etc is a complete muddying of the nomenclature. Devs still don't care about uptime and security, being well stuck in "works on my machine". The ones that do care did so before the terms where invented. My sysadmin title is gone for no good reason other than trends. I get contacted about DevOps positions where coding is discouraged or even banned - at best you get to write some YAML, SRE means you are accountable for systems you did not design. So 100% responsibility but 0% authority to actually improve things.

I can feel myself getting mad as I write this, I flagged the submission and I want the author to know I consider them a sellout responsible for this industry going to shit.
Plenty, I am one of them, I am Windows/Android user, and get Apple gear from work.

And I also know a few that still use and buy feature phones with their OEM only apps, with "by invitation only SDKs".

Which makes the choice bigger than two actually, when one looks at the actual market distribution, something that a judge will care about.
Easy questions but not obvious answers.

What kind of error to raise? Do you return a NaN? Throw an exception? Both have their uses.
Which AWS option did you have to use? Self managed or their propriety HIPAA offerings? Did they have to provide a Business Associate's Agreement?

Sorry for all the questions, this HIPAA compliance is confusing and using turnkey solutions seems to be expensive.

Ah, but $50M/year isn't the goal of a single player business. It's more like $200k/year, from a few hours effort per week.

That's a lot more achievable. 10X your revenues, then automate everything so that it ticks along in the background with hardly any input.

It gets very good after a while.
Why and how did I solve a COVID19 impacted problem using code?
One big difference is that you can't call it at runtime, e.g. to map it over a list of tuples.
I guess the point is that if we are talking about laws it seems that there is a desire to abstract to broader classes of things that are easily identifiable. I was pretty broad and generalized to technology running programmable software.

If you want to stay with personal computing equipment (whatever that may mean exactly) the point still holds if you look a little bit down the line. You want someone responsible for harm that is created by harmful software and as a user you want an easy way to get save software. Both is much easier with an entity curating and signing vetted software.

What is interesting in this case is the question who would be responsible for this and what are the rules that would need to be followed?

I think it is difficult to untangle the vetting position from manufacturing because the manufacturer is likely the best expert on the computing platform. But other arrangements could be tried out. In terms of rules to follow I am sympathetic to some general rules that vetting should follow but much thought would need to be put into what those rules should be. My prime concern would be safety and minimization of great harm. But how does one go about this? Even external payment providers could be argued to be a potential source of harm if they are not vetted and certified. It‘s tricky!

I think a possible solution would be to make costs and revenue for app stores transparent and stipulate that margins should remain reasonable. Maybe set up a developer board that has a voice in the app store policy making similar to how employee representatives have a seat on the board in many German companies.
That sounds horribly vauge and ripe for abuse.

I honestly would not be surprised if they do layoffs at the end of the year. I'd flip out though. Ideally, we'd like to move to Austin to save $2k per month on rent and 13% of our salaries on state income tax.
The thing is though that Rust macro's are hygienic; the macro must generate the syntax tree and cannot mangle outside scope. Most rust tooling I've seen handles and understands printf as a macro easily and tooling is improving to be able to fully introspect a macro.
