yes, i am putting all the developer on the app store on the same level, because coding into law the distinction that it's so obvious for you is not going to be easy. at what point "randomgamecompany" became so big to be promoted to "i dont need to pay for the app store anymore." Laws are not perfect, nobody should work for free.

And now macOS is adopting the worst of iOS' draconian policies. You won't be able to run non-notarized apps on macOS on Apple Silicon based computers at all.

This is not true. You can still run non notarized apps by control (?) clicking the first time.
So, if my napkin calculations on minimal Google searching are any indication, you get about half the range as you'd get in the 240 Bowrider (50 vs 100 nautical miles), which honestly seems pretty good.

I'm not sure how much worse the efficiency is at lower speeds though, and there's almost always lower speeds involved for extended periods as you move through no wake zones.

Additionally, emergency capacity might be an issue (an extra fuel can isn't really possible), and if you do run out of power, it's not like someone could offer one or bring one, you're really looking at a tow, from what I can see.

Very cool though.

Note: I used this[1] for some quick info on what kind of fuel efficiency the bowrider got at different speeds, and used fuel tank size to estimate range.

DOSBox has been something of a godsend for getting a lot of 1980s software working again. Not so great if you also need to interface with proprietary ISA cards, but lots of software can be brought back to life.
Sorry, I fumbled the phrasing of that a bit. Warren Buffet famously bet a million bucks that hedge funds couldn't beat the S&P 500 index. They couldn't, by a wide margin.

DMARC is essentially the combination of SPF and DKIM, so it's a bit misleading that you are mentioning SPF and DMARC and make it sound like DKIM is something separate. See Wikipedia [1].

If I recall correctly, DKIM setup is simply publishing the public key as a txt DNS record under your domain. Whoever has the fitting private key can then sign emails on your behalf. The cloud email host can without problem generate a new pair for every domain. So the "upload it's own DKIM key" is essentially creating a pair for you and telling you to set the public key as a certain DNS text entry. Pretty straightforward. Stopping the cloud provider to sign emails for you is also as simple as removing the DNS entry from your domain.

> I'm assuming nobody will provision infrastructure per tenant due to scale and cost

Actually, these services are available at a premium.

When I was six, I moved from Minnesota to Tennessee.

At one point soon after, I was walking with my brothers and female cousins and said "hey you guys...", which was a common form if addressing multiple people in Minnesota.

One if my cousins, who had probably never heard that idiom before, replied "We're not guys".

Afterwards, I switched to the common southern idiom of "y'all".
That's funny, I also have a Rust CLI I left behind at my previous company which interacts with a service not in Rust. I just checked and it seems like it's still going.
I don't know if it's a skill per se. But if agency or initiative is learnable it's something I'm hoping for for my son. The things I'm proud of I decided to do without direct prompting from others
Some people question when I've decided to only use a handful of dependencies in a project - usually "You could do it so much faster if you used X, so why not?"

The problem is that every dependency is a possible source of failure. For most languages, you can do a whole lot if the standard library is well-written - Python 3.6+ is particularly good for this, PHP if you don't mind API strageness, whereas Go without modules is less convenient, and outliers like node.js are basically unusable.

Also, frequently you don't need the popular "everyone uses it" libraries. For python, requests isn't needed anymore, as built-in urllib is quite good now and lacks a lot of "smart" functionality that causes strange breakage. pytest has more rough edges than built-in unittest. The only things that I use regularly that legitimately add functionality are pyyaml and tox (only when testing!).
A good text editor solves this problem. I can vouch for emacs, but I would be shocked if there weren't a good way to get vim to do this for you.

The list of hard programming things is long; things that are trivially solved by a tool shouldn't be in the list.
I read somewhere they survive even 1000°C cleaning of stuff.

disclaimer: Red Hat employee, which technically means IBM employee

They do innovate, it's just that the places where they have been putting all their flashy marketing over the past couple of years have not been the places where they've been innovating.

They have not one but two custom CPU architectures designed entirely in-house (POWER and Z) which they've kept competitive over the years (in terms of hardware if not price). They're one of a very few entities (corporate or academic) at the very leading edge of quantum computing and one of the few builders of high-end supercomputers (#2 and #3 most powerful computers in the world at the moment are POWER systems)

The problem is that while they are legitimately extremely good at many things, those things make up a small fraction of the "surface area" of IBM and it's not what they have have historically been strategically emphasizing for the past couple decades. The average engineer's experience with IBM is more likely to involve their software products and consulting services and/or sales team than it is any of those things I mentioned.

If you’re building business software then yes mostly. Change is cheap.

If you’re actually building a rocket or any other physical thing with real world stuff (like some of us here) you need a real plan. The fits software engineers get into about agile is odd at times. I don’t really get it.
Not mentioned: Subtle (possibly unintentional) humblebragging about how you either spend thousands of dollars a year on Amazon kitchens or that you need an Apple Kitchen because your time is so valuable (Both common motifs I see in discussions of said companies)
I was a big fan of Floobits a few years back. Tuple and Screen.so are great, but we have devs split between VSCode, vim 8, and Neovim, with different configurations. I would definitely pay for cross-editor collaboration that works.

I’ll give this a shot tomorrow with some friends and see how it goes!
> I really don't get the whole "rewrite it in Rust" thing at all, especially when 95% of those applications would be perfectly performant in a language that lets you focus on your domain, not on making the borrow-checker happy.

Generally, people who actually know what they're talking about see RIIR as being less about performance and more about getting stronger compile-time correctness guarantees than are available from languages with nullable types (holes in the type system), exceptions (hidden control flow paths), no sum types (limited ability to "make invalid states unrepresentable"), etc.

In that respect, Rust serves more as something to get the benefit of academic-originated functional languages with the FFI integratability and large community and ecosystem of more mainstream languages.

(I use it for command-line utilities and for writing compiled Python extensions. I'm still on Python for Django and PyQt.)
You're trying to argue that Apple IAP is a good deal for Epic, but Epic has clearly decided that it isn't.
> The court will (correctly) point at Android and ask, "why isn't that a viable alternative"?

Because flagship Android phones comparable to iPhone are not cheap enough to switch solely due to apps. This is a textbook monopolist argument: "if you don't like me, then you can always move out!"
That is the thesis, is it not? The uncaused cause; /the/ axiom.
A monopoly with less than 50% market share?
Sure, you can use demand pricing. Offer the employee minimum wage or the commissions from rides, whichever is greater.

Ah, you say, but what about them being "on the clock" while not actually being willing to drive? The same thing that happens if they turn down a Lyft ride because they're driving an Uber customer: you fire them. And possibly charge them with fraud.

From what I've read here, it seems like all of the "only way a business could operate" responses are based on Uber or Lyft propaganda.

Scalable Bitmaps (2013)
Yes and that’s what almost everyone does. Learning loops with prototypes til you have a feasible product. But then you need a big development plan for how to scale it to a polished, sellable product. Because there’s a lot more to the product then the artifact.
The mountain of evidence disagrees with you.

For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by installing an x11vnc server on your host, setting up a SSH tunnel to a remote server which forwards the host's VNC port, and sharing SSH credentials with your colleagues who can use a VNC client to access your screen from Linux, Windows or Mac.
They don't now? I'd heard both would boot you from their network if you turn down too many rides.
A lot of this information is available in the compliant that was filed by the FBI against Sullivan: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7041237/Joseph-Su...

In particular, part of Sullivan's cover-up efforts included passing the breach off as a $100,000 bug (their largest at the time) in the bounty program and trying to sign secret NDAs with the hackers. He also paid them a bitcoin ransom.

It's a good read.
And the reviewers will get exactly zero out of this
Math.min(a, x) == at_most_a(x)

A similar kind of thing is really common in measure theory (limsup, liminf) and option payoffs.

Why don’t research groups just publish to their own websites or directories like arxiv? What’s the role of an academic journal in 2020?

Honest question, I’d love to see more blogging from hard science academics but I’m wondering if there’s a reason why that’s challenging or if it’s just academic culture. We should have a Substack/OnlyFans for scientists.
Analysis paralysis (refusing to make a decision until more research is done, to the detriment of a project) is a different error than delaying a decision until beyond the last viable moment.
I think GP was complaining about "most apps that are built with Electron", not Electron itself.

The complaint supplies equally well to most mobile apps today.
>if the driver drives in bad hours making their income not come up to minimum wage uber would be forced to pay the driver anyway

is this a California specific law? There are lots of variable hour workers out there that may skirt by below the hour threshold for a short amount of time, but generally the employer can set reasonable adjustment periods where they'd lose their benefits for continuing to do so.
Your method name and the signature are misleading. First, it implies that it returns a boolean, not a number. Second, the argument names look like they have to be already sorted, which defeats the purpose.
They really painted themselves into a corner with the low interest rates, though I was never convinced that quarter basis point adjustments really made people magically withdraw money and go on a spending spree anyway. It always seemed more like a “we did something” placebo. Could just as easily be a ceremony where once a month the president goes to the treasury and pushes a big “Fix economy” button or maybe he’ll push the “Ruin economy” button, cue speculation and suspense.
I am really hating working in the current state of the industry right now. I am used to writing robust, clear, well-tested, and easy to maintain systems.

I'd also love to see a journal that agreed to publish work before any results are known. Researchers would submit hypotheses and methodology for review, and the journal would publish the results after the experiments were conducted, regardless of their outcome.

It would still incentivize interesting hypotheses, but wouldn't lead to results-biased publications.
Genius! Someone tell r/noearthsociety
Depends on the field. For example, practically all of machine learning and related fields are $0 to publish and are open access by default. It’s been a huge boon for everyone except I guess traditional publishers.

Why a Slack Backlash Is Inevitable
I've had kind of a crazy idea of building an entire Linux-based embedded system using Bazel. Based on your previous comment, I briefly thought they might have had some detection of foreign build systems now.

Some part of me still finds the idea kind of interesting. The idea of doing a Linux-from-scratch, but porting each project to Bazel in the process. It's kind of silly and would be a lot of work, but I think about being able to modify a header of any library in the system, and have that change quickly percolate up to every dependent application automatically.

The way to do it now is through bitbake, but it (rightly) is just wrappers around every other build system. The goals are a bit different than Bazel's, but it's quite slow.

That's the problem of DRMed stores, not a problem of older games per se. For instance, GOG specialize in restoring old games, as long as they are DRM-free. Apple simply never cared about preservation use case.

Don't support DRM with your money if you care about this.

What apps did most iPhone users actually pay for? Most of the money from the App Store come from in app purchases from play to win games. The other come from subscriptions that are cross platform.
There's nothing in California law that requires predetermined shifts. The only rules are that if you do have predetermined shifts, you have to pay for at least half the shift even if you send someone home early. All of these people talking about predetermined shifts are just pretty FUD with no backing in reality.

Nice! This is the best process I can think of. I’ve worked with this model.

But then everybody in the team has access to run the scripts, right?

In my case a few people had, and with scale they became bottlenecks
Very cool!! Got some good results. Curious to see how it evolves
Maybe Apple was trying to make it easier to cancel the subscription by make it cancelable on settings, but it's actually confusing.
Imagine if 30% of your A/C electricity bill went to Nikola Telsa Inc. and the internet was filled with people telling you it's not a monopoly because you have the option of D/C.

The same people claim the app store is this magically perfect service that provides infinite value for both developers and users. If that's the case no one would choose to use a 3rd party app store, so having the option would make no difference.

The reality IMO is that developers would try to flock to an app store with better terms and users would cling to the existing model.

To me, a fantastic outcome would be if Apple gets forced to allow developers to inform users they can pay for subscriptions outside the app store and to charge +30% to people that still want to use the app store. Then all the users defending Apple can put their money where their mouth is.

Then add in competing app stores that don't take a 30% cut and all of a sudden you'll have "dedicated" Apple users flocking to the new stores to save a buck.
Which market share definition, you ask? IMHO it is the definition that defines decision making for app developers, on whether they can skip the Apple platform or not.

How many game developers will skip either Sony or MS unless they are paid for exclusives?

Why can’t Google and all of the Android manufacturers convince people with money that they should buy Android phones?

I have very limited research experience (2 undergrad practicums) but the professor I worked with was a leader in their field and sat on a journal review panel along with others of similar standing. So I suppose consensus among colleagues is " x,y and z are leaders on a topic, their opinions are in b journal so I should read that."
The black cars are called "car service" or limo service or something like that. They are prevented from picking up rides waiving them down precisely because they are not taxis.
Yes, we store the historical value of each test so you can always scroll back through time and see the state of the data warehouse at any given point.

For example, if you have a test that counts the number of rows "COUNT(*)" - that value will be recorded. So you can look back an hour/day/week and see how many rows the table had without executing any SQL. These values are stored in a time series db, so querying history is fast.

Our tech stack: monolith backend in python + postgres + react. The test themselves are all SQL queries and run in the data warehouse.

I felt the same for awhile but now I just mentally put the operator between the operands, so (> 3 2) is the same as 3 > 2.
The documents dumped by Martin Tripp in the Tesla case were pretty juicy. Looks like they had a full access to his personal phone, round the clock surveillance on him and constant hacking of his accounts. So much so that one of the security guys working for Tesla turned a whistleblower (Sean Gouthro).

Documents are taken down since a court ordered Martin to take them off the public display.
I do the same thing, either when refactoring test code or when I'm adding tests after writing the implementation. I've heard the manual approach referred to as "refactoring against the red bar"; see https://corgibytes.com/blog/2016/09/20/refactoring-against-t....
Well, looking at the App Store, that’s exactly what Apple does....
I didn't know that, and that certainly changes things!

That also makes this statement kind of absurd...

"The spokesperson said Uber's legal team, rather than Sullivan, was responsible for deciding whether and to whom the matter should be disclosed."
So now uber drivers can only work 28 hours a week and now can't afford health care....
Completely agree. These problems should not happen twice, and if they are frequent there is a problem somewhere else.

But as you mention, even with the best validations, it can happen sometimes. What processes/tools have you seen work to fix them without Manual work or untraceable scripts?

Breach exposes profile data for 235M TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube users
Don't knock the status quo too much. The status quo is a system that brought billions of people out of abject poverty, gave us human rights, democracy, etc. We take these things for granted, but we're in an incredibly unique and very new situation where you even have the privilege to sit around and pontificate about ideas like global poverty, gender issues, gay rights, etc. Civilizations have crumbled before, and ours WILL crumble at some point in the future. One quote I like about the US is that conservatives are progressives going the speed limit. And your comment about the right fetishizing the status quo is in line with that. A progressive wants to go a mile, conservatives are like, "Ehh... let's walk a few steps in that direction and see how it goes"
