I have this issue. I don't use whatsapp much, but I wasn't able to update it, so I removed it rather than leaving my few friends wondering why I'm not replying to messages.

I just checked drive to try your workaround - and it says old version, needs update, which of course I cannot do. Oh well. One of these days I will take the plunge and see if a factory reset will work.
as a hardware engineer, I got all excited it would talk about budget friendly oscilloscopes, dmms, and power supplies. Still a fun read.
I am a fan of D3 and Mike but I also agree with the point - it's not at all simple to take the examples from Observable and implement them in a non-Observable page.

Or maybe it is simple but it's not intuitive unless you are familiar with Observable. So perhaps the solution is to have a page that describes how to move the examples from Observable to an HTML page? eg. where to put the scripts and where to put the HTML.

Not self signed. Signed by an Apple issued cert. This entire thread is about control of distribution. You absolutely will not be able to distribute a Mac app without an Apple dev subscription in order to have your app notarised, agreeing to everything that comes with that. At the moment you can. This is clearly a “substantive change”.

I am a proponent for code-signing, I just don't see why I cant use my own cert (such as that issued for a domain name) instead of an apple issued one - if it is solely about preventing code tampering, as they state...

The actual reason behind a central issuance of certs is DRM. If apps NEED to run through this gatekeeper, then the gatekeeper can phone home to get a license for you to run the app (or not). This will enable the revocation of a cert for distribution of malware, but will also enable revocation for other reasons - like a dev breaching the terms of their agreement with apple (whatever those may be).

That is what the issue is. There is literally no benefit in this unless apple can revoke certs, because there is nothing to stop a dev signing a malicious app!

I don’t see what this has to do with elf binaries. I mentioned arm binaries because that is what all upcoming apple “computers” will be.

Thanks! This unfortunately comports pretty well with my general understanding, ha. Can protect from companies / non-governmental actors, governments either have assymetrical capabilities when they focus on you or have unknown and likely deep levels of surveillance power. Security becomes more a matter of just plain not using the internet for information you don't want to have snooped on, if it's paranoia-level stuff.
Mercurial is great at an org with lots of junior devs, because people really have to try hard to mess things up compared to git. It's very bad if you want to attract people who feel comfortable with git alone (despite the fact that they'd do quite OK with hg), and it's especially bad if you are trying to fit with very standard types of CI, which for the most part have close to no support for mercurial at one point or another in the chain. And you might find that out a bit late into the process and end up paying a steep price ("Hello Gitlab? yeah I'm gonna have to set up a local secured Jenkins instance to do this and that before sending you the rest" type of thing)

Recent-ish stackoverflow survey (2-3 years ago) also indicated that hg is used even less than zip files amongst devs, and significantly less than git, so market adoption is a big hurdle and anybody joining you will have to deal with this-thing-they-probably-don't-know and tooling that might not handle it (e.g. Xcode).

However I think there's value in hg being training-wheels for git and a safe haven for a bunch of newbie devs, and we're talking about people who know and enjoy tech here so using any kind of vcs will at the very least enable your team to open up to more stuff. There's plenty of tooling and support to migrate to git if/when necessary, and IMHO Mercurial gets a much worse rep than it actually deserves.
It’s nice to see another option for mercurial. Heptapod will definitely help given an integrated CI/CD.

In my startup everything is mercurial. It’s miles ahead of git when it comes to user interface and experience with conceptual integrity.

Git is popular due to GitHub, for us we use self-hosted kallithea-scm [1] to provide workflow with pull request and review similar to GitHub. So far didn’t see the need to change, it’s just that we need to build our own small extension to integrate with CI/CD (here also buildbot [2] is quite nice). Another open source is sourcehut [3].

The problem here is that somebody has to pay the Fair Dice Association and generally it ends up being the Casino. It also generally pays better to be a dealer than a dice certifier, so certifiers are often weighing the possibility of future employment when inspecting the dice. Finally, the risk of repetitional harm has proven, in practice, ineffective at preventing malpractice.

This isn’t purely theoretical. It has happened repeated in recent history. Arthur Andersen signed off on obvious accounting fraud at Enron due to conflicts of interest. During the GFC, credit ratings companies graded low quality MBS derived securities as ‘triple A’ without bothering perform anything beyond a cursory examination.

Now imagine what would happen if every rando could start playing in the private markets. Well you don’t have to imagine too hard, we did a natural experiment not long ago with crypto currencies. What did we get? Shameless pump and dump schemes organised openly on social media, pyramid schemes, vapourware ICOs, and all manner of other dodgy dealings.

One reason these scams were so hard to stop was that so many unsophisticated scammers and scammees people were involved. The wealth requirement at least reduces the numbers of people involved to a somewhat manageable level. I do agree though, it’d be nice to have a more equitable way to do this. I think this action from the SEC is an important step towards that as it now opens the doors to qualified people that might otherwise fail the wealth test.
Aside from the fact that `main` is pretty straightforward for people new to git, one huge benefit is that autocorrect for `ma` still works.
Psi-5 Trading Company Soundtrack (C64 HQ Remake)
Absolute nonsense. I was there, repeatedly. They shot first and either then made an announcement or never made one.

Example: they announced a curfew via text a few minutes before it went into effect. Many didn't get this because they didn't have their phones with them. Tear gas and flashbangs had already been deployed with zero warnings from police.

It is not helpful or okay to assert such falsehoods with confidence.

Strongly agree. Nothing remarkable, not even a little bit. It doesn't even sound _good_.
I wouldn't be surprised by a long-range cruise altitude around FL300, but if it was FL450 I'd be extremely surprised. If the plane achieves the advertised 20mpg on a hypothetical 4500-mile flight at FL500, but only makes a small fraction of that on a more realistic 400-mile regional hop at FL210, it's not really a practical success.

(Aside: the advertised range seems like drastic overkill for something designed to offer a cheap alternative to private jets--it's difficult to overstate how much it sucks being cooped up in a tiny plane for over 11 hours, even if you have the luxury of rich leather seats, can stand up in the cabin, and don't have to pee into plastic bags. Even if a family wants to charter a private jet from LA to the Bahamas for a long weekend, it'd be miserable trying to one-leg it.)
Still, a plane with half the aerodynamic drag and twice the BSFC is only getting 4x the fuel efficiency, not the ~10x they're claiming. Even if they're making a bit of "free" thrust from their cooling system (which has been a thing since WWII), I don't see what accounts for the rest, even ignoring that the Celera likely has a significant increase in frontal area due to the standing-height cabin.
This is easy to test: there are hundreds of other artworks in the museum. Very few have the same pull as a Pollock, IMO.

A typical small airport might have a 2,500-foot runway, and you never want to come anywhere close to using all that up. It's often desirable to use small airports that are closer to your origin and destination, which could save several hours of travel time before takeoff and after landing. Usually there's also less air traffic to contend with, no landing fees, and cheaper aircraft parking.
The Register's original story [1] makes clear that the problem was not Microsoft's mail clients:

> “It is a fairly specific workflow that is a challenge for some newer developers to engage with. As an example, my partner submitted a patch to OpenBSD a few weeks ago, and he had to set up an entirely new mail client which didn’t mangle his email message to HTML-ise or do other things to it, so he could even make that one patch. That’s a barrier to entry that’s pretty high for somebody who may want to be a first-time contributor.”

> We assumed that Outlook was to blame. Could Microsoft fix that instead? “The question always is fix it to whose standards, because we are focused much more on business and enterprise models of clients and customers. For them we fixed it to a more HTML-based model so it really depends on who your audience is and who your target is.”

> It turned out, though, that this time Outlook was not guilty. “I think it was actually Gmail that was a barrier. And he also couldn’t do it from Apple Mail. It is just that the modern mail client has intentionally moved towards HTML,” she said.

It would be hugely beneficial to do it in space. When you do interferometry on the ground, your maximum aperture size is the diameter of the Earth (if you had two observatories at opposite points on the Earth). When you do it in space, the size of your synthetic aperture is practically limitless.
"Algorithm Design" by Kleinberg & Tardos is pretty good. Chapter 6 is its Dynamic Programming chapter, and there are 9 examples in the chapter with pseudocode and analysis.

Some of its dynamic programming examples: Weighted Interval Scheduling, Segmented Least Squares, Subset Sums / Knapsacks, RNA Secondary Structure, Sequence Alignment (aka: Diff), Shortest Path in Graphs.

All in just a ~50 page chapter.

The other chapters on Network Flow, Greedy Algorithms are also excellent.

"Algorithm Design" is an advanced text, but that's how it covers more material than easier textbooks since it won't waste your time on the beginner level stuff.

-------------

Honestly, given the beginner-nature of the textbook here, I think they're doing a decent job. Dynamic programming isn't as fundamental as the stack / queue / sorting / searching etc. etc. that's being discussed in "Problem Solving with Algorithms and Data Structures".

Dynamic programming is definitely something that should be reserved for more advanced textbooks (with maybe, at best, an introduction to the subject at this level).
Giotto is the same. His paintings seem lifeless in a book with 10" pictures. But there's a room in the Uffizi which features Madonnas by Giotto, Cimabue, and Duccio. They are mind-blowing. First of all they are not 10 inches but 10 feet tall. Second, Giotto's Madonna and Child almost feels as if they are alive. Seeing his work side-by-side with contemporaries it's instantly obvious why Vasari considered Giotto as the reviver of the art painting. [1] (The others were no slouches either.)

You're saying that Apple is above reproach, criticism, oversight because it might make a dent in their $2T valuation?
Same here, I’ve had automatic updates disabled for years and I turned off the notification badge for the App Store. Unfortunately some apps phone home and determine they are not the latest version and then refuse to let you use them until you upgrade. Mostly banking apps, which I guess maybe I can excuse, but also Facebook messenger. Once FB messenger pops up with that notification that I need to “upgrade in order to access my chats again“, I usually go a week or two of just quitting it before I finally give in and upgrade and then things are subtlety worse, or shuffled around, or just inexplicably different. But I have friends who message me on there so I eventually have to give in and capitulate. My lack of control is utterly frustrating...

I've never said this.

> and I don't agree; it seems to me that once they start breaking random things, there's a serious and unacceptable risk they'll start killing people.

That is absurd. Damaging property is nothing like hurting people. In fact, alleging that the two are comparable is somewhat dehumanizing, as it's used to justify hurting people over damage to things. Things* should not have any level of parity with human life, particularly things like broken windows.

> Truly peaceful protests where nothing's being vandalized or set on fire - yes, the police should never respond to those by force.

Last time, you said the police could preemptively assume a protest will hurt people and start engaging in the violence we've been talking about. Now there's the good protester / bad rioter dichotomy, something often decried by civil rights leaders because it was the rallying cry of segregationists. That and outside agitators.

I was gassed and flashbanged in a protest where we were holding our hands up and chanting, "hands up, don't shoot".
> You don't pretend to know better

What if one really knows better though, eg talking about life at a place where you've been, but the other person never was there and is just guessing?

I'm thinking a problem then can be the bystanders / co-workers: now they're going to think 5 is a fairly ok answer, when you didn't very clearly disagree about that?

Especially if the other person sounds self confident.

Any thoughts about how to strongly disagree, in a polite way, when the other person is crazily wrong in a slightly harmful way?

But I think too that in most cases, especially when talking one and one, the Yes-and or sth like that probably is a good approach

I keep a large folder full of installers. More often than not software gets worse over time. New methods of monetization creep in. Features that were in the free version move to the paid version. Licensing problems result in function crippling. The damned marketers and their unending push for change for only the sake of change so they have something different to show people. Developers seeing they have a sizable userbase for their simple app and deciding to mutilate it by tacking on "social features".

In other words ed25519 keys are something you can reasonably expect people to copy-paste and otherwise work with as if they were URLs or content-addresses like md5 file hashs. RSA keys... aren't. You can work around this with keyservers and the like, but that adds more moving parts and more opprotunities for things to break for no reason.
Nice and all, but I just got my private pilots wings a month and a half ago. I've looked at planes. I could buy an fleet of old pipers and burn 9gallons an hour throwing a plane away a year for what just one of these will probably cost.

Apple threatened to cancel Epic's second account and cut off Epic from its macOS tools starting Aug 28th; Epic said that unfairly threatened its other lines of businesses and a court should prevent Apple from doing so until the antitrust suit finished (and should also reinstate Fortnite until the suit finished); the judge ruled that Apple cutting off Epic's second account from the Unreal tools before the court case finished was unreasonable and legally prevented it from doing so, but that banning Fortnite was not unreasonable and did not legally prevent it from doing so.

Judges make legal decisions. If a judge says you can't do something, that means it's illegal; judges can rule whether a future action is illegal, including based on a threat, and that's what this injunction does. This injunction references Apple's threat and, ultimately, says that they legally can't do it (for now), just as Epic can't legally force Apple to reinstate Fortnite (for now).

But anyway, as to your original assertion that this injunction is unrelated to Apple's threat to terminate Epic's account with the Apple Developer Program, here's a direct quote from the injunction:

"THEREFORE, APPLE AND ALL PERSONS IN ACTIVE CONCERT OR PARTICIPATION WITH APPLE, ARE TEMPORARILY RESTRAINED from taking adverse action against Epic Games with respect to restricting, suspending or terminating any affiliate of Epic Games, such as Epic International, from Apple’s Developer Program [italics mine]"

Also, re: your assertion that "If Apple wins, then there's another matter to attend to. If they don't, then the status quo is still maintained and the matter is over." — I don't think anyone involved in the antitrust case, including the judge, ruled or believes anything like "the matter is over" and "the status quo is maintained" if Apple is found to be violating antitrust law. The status quo legally could not be maintained by Apple in that case. What exactly Apple would have to do would depend on what precisely the judge ruled, but maintaining the status quo would not be an option.
