Between this PR nonsense and attempting to strong-arm it’s way into the market by introducing exclusives to PC, I have quite little sympathy for Epic.

Apple’s “bad behavior” here ultimately aligns with my desires as a consumer. By controlling the marketplace, they enforce privacy and UX controls. They use that money to improve the products I use every day.

I cannot say the same for Epic. Every battle they are starting is to degrade my experience as a consumer so they can make even more money.
Have you ever been able to solve a problem at work that nobody else could, or solve it faster, or cleaner, or more robustly, by virtue of having learned previously about some random topic which you had no idea would one day be applicable to your work? I think most programmers have, and I'd hope that a good boss at a good organization would understand that - as long as you're accomplishing everything that's required of the job - independent learning is a great use of (a reasonable fraction of your) time that will benefit both you and the business.
Apple absolutely can decide who is in or out: it’s their platform. Governments with even regulated markets generally don’t force stores to carry certain products.

Amazon absolutely has a say of what they carry in their store, and most consumers hate the terrible curation of their marketplaces lately.

If what Apple runs is not a product, it’s a utility. I think people underestimate what it means to declare the App Stores a utility: freeing up the App admission rules likely might not be one of the outcomes.

> They have two choices: relax the rules of the store or accept other stores that can apply different rules, giving more choice to developers, publishers and users

Or they have a third choice: status quo. It is currently a fantasy to think otherwise.
> Even if you're not legally required to implement it now, and even if you don't think this is a basic human right (which you should), there are legal changes coming, and you never know when you will be forced to implement it.

Never have to comply with the law if you never have any users to begin with

Yes, mainly other e-commerce stores. Larger sites like Amazon & Alibaba tend to be extra effective to scrape since they already have good metadata that we can draw on. We don't currently foresee any major risks, the tide seems to turn more and more towards a free web in that sense https://towardsdatascience.com/web-scraping-is-now-legal-6bf...
In my country (Canada), using firearms for self-defence is almost universally regarded as illegal. However, when police officers exerted a no-knock warrant on the wrong person, and they defended themselves using firearms, they were found illegal, because it was judged that armed intruders violently barging through and threatening you in your home is one of the rare cases where the situation is so outrageous that it is justified. In the US, despite owning guns for self-defence being legal, you will be found guilty of murder for this, and certainly be found guilty of resisting arrest.
I am taking a hunch here, but I imagine that it is cheaper for you to provide energy to the grid (once the grid is already established) than for the power companies to provide energy to the grid. IIRC, your unused power you generate goes back into the grid correct?
What I've found over the years is as I get more experienced, I can cobble together whatever I want from existing SO answers plus the rest of the internet. My volume of asks has declined enormously over the years. He might simply already have been at that end of the experience curve when he joined.

i am using pharo casually as a developers desktop.

i found its interface more polished than squeak and they do more active work towards integration of modern developer tools such as git.

the one thing that i miss from squeak is nested workspaces. those are a neat way to organize multiple projects into one image.
> You can properly dispose or recycle anything non-radioactive with enough energy, heat and oxygen.

With "enough energy" you could recycle anything. In theory you could for instance vaporize any waste mixture (including radioactive compounds), send it through a giant mass spectrometer, and get output beams sorted by atomic number. But in practice, how much energy is "enough energy" is quite important to whether that process is realistic.

In this case, the relevant metric is how much energy is spent producing and recycling solar panels compared to the energy the solar panels are expected to produce over their lifetime. As long as that ratio can be made sufficiently low, we should be good.
Or just some old migs with high intensity lasers designed to constantly paint the cockpit. Humans have exploits too
My mother ayed tomatoes in the spring when it was still cool. She covered them with clear plastic bags as she always has. But she needed one more bag so she used a blue recycling bag on one of the plants. Blue tinged really it's almost clear.

I pointed out to her one of the plants had yellow leaves. It was the plant with the blue bag.

Later in the summer the blue bag plant produced fruit just like the other plants. But the bottom of each tomato was disfigured and looked rotten but it was dry to the touch. It's blossom rot due to low calcium. I have to wonder if it was the blue bag or lack of/too much water. All the plants got the same nutrients only this one had the blue bag. It got red light and green light which plants don't need but no blue light.

Plants are seemingly very sensitive to sunlight quality. I'm sure the solar panels are clear but even a slight colour blockage may be harmful.

It was an interesting result.

The Economist has lots of coverage of the Sahel and the ongoing developments in Mali. It’s one of the few mainstream publications with significant coverage of that issue available in the US.

They’ve got a bunch of podcasts that largely cover the content of their articles, with the voices of reporters and occasionally primary source recordings mixed in, all available for free. Worth checking out for sure.

Now I’m wondering, does anyone else have good resources for coverage of the Sahel or other international interests outside the US’s 24-hour news cycle?
As I read the parent comment, the broad context is turning "shell-like behavior" into rust code, and the comment is choosing to talk about that projection by focusing on elements in the source and assuming that it's understood that they're really talking about the resulting image. You can't use the shell's cd, but you can call chdir and set the working directory - and hopefully you can do that for only part of your pipeline.

If they were in fact describing implementation, then I mostly agree - it's likely better to write shell directly than generate it, at least short of treating it seriously as a compilation target.
This is a legal argument to a court attempting to get an injunction. It seems to me to have very little to do with public sympathy.

The public really doesn't give a crap about whether or not their is one contract or multiple, or the quality of apples legal arguments, which seems to be some of the core issues raised in this motion responding to Apple's motion.
When I see apps going Electron to me they're saying "I care more about making this easily available and focusing on features other than performance" - which is absolutely fine it's a value statement.

Electron likely helped Sabaki focus on other features with good enough performance, while being the best looking and most skinnable Go app by a country mile (I created a How to train your Dragon skin to temp my partner into learning Go :D)

Only so many hours to dedicate to a project, you have to pick what you value most. This comme T is partially because I'd hate for the people involved with Sabaki to not hear that at least some of their users "get it" and love it.
I have a feeling this was a calculated move for Epic to save face while abandoning MacOS development of the Unreal dev tools. If it really mattered to them, they could remove their TOS-violating hacks from Fortnite and get their developer license reinstated at any time.

Keep in mind that everything here has been gamed out ahead of time by Epic. They knew they would get their app removed for the brazen TOS violation. They knew that it would result in their developer account being suspended, and they knew that it meant their other apps tied to that account would also be locked out.
You know, when you try and compare the US to any country doing worse than the US at treating it's citizens...

... you usually instead get called out for not comparing the US to some homogeneous Scandinavian country that would fit inside California.

Neither is a realistic comparison, in general governments will quickly default to not treating individuals well because of the dehumanizing tendencies of bureaucracy and power dynamics, and the effect is only amplified "few party system" most countries end up with.

The US struggles, but does make excellent progress, in escaping that trap.

I'm an immigrant to this country, my pride doesn't rest on "USA #1!!!!!!!"-style nationalism...

But the US treats it's citizens great on the global scale of the term, that's why they're so quick to make noise when certain groups are excluded from that fair treatment.

The fact Americans are so comfortable and so quick to self-denigrating is just a further reflection of that.
> (B): No one wants to pay for a web browser; i.e Mozilla can't monetize it.

Has Mozilla ever tried? Opera tried and wasn't unsuccessful - and that was back when the web was much, much smaller than it is today, so a much smaller audience.

Given that people are happy to pay for (in comparison) trivial apps, even when free alternatives are available, I don't see why that wouldn't work for browsers.

Edit: I mean as Mozilla, after Netscape. Netscape wasn't able to compete technologically with IE6, Mozilla is competitive today.
Just remember that the greenest kilowatt hour is the kilowatt hour never produced.
Apple never cared about games (minus maybe a short period when the G4 came out), and gamedevs know it. Unreal was never a serious contender for iOS. So no serious immediate effect on either side.

In the long run, gamedevs would be even more reluctant to provide iOS/MacOS builds, which doesn't matter at all since people don't buy Macs for gaming.
That would require an authentication chip on the heater side, which considering the price of USB-C cables / Apple accessories, and the ultimate goal for the car makers is to save money / make more money, does not make much sense.

That said, fault detection is very common on modern car electronics, especially safety-critical components. Your throttle-by-wire pedal has 2 redundant channels that output 20% to 80% signal, possibly mutually complement or some other scheme. Your airbags have open-/short-circuit detection. However these are never actively designed to defeat circumvention, so you see after-market steering wheel makers supply you with dummy resistors that pretend they are airbags.

EDIT: I could imagine the entire seat or steering-wheel assembly sharing one microcontroller which has encrypted communication to the vehicle's "Body Controller". That would defeat wholesale replacement / MITM, but still does not prevent you from co-opting the physical connection to the actual heater element. You would most definitely break (e.g. bumper-to-bumper) warranty but who cares.
I want to support Epic, because they're challenging Apple's monopoly. But… I have a feeling they're not doing it to be nice to us, but because Apple's mooching off “their turf” (i.e. us) when they want to be doing all the mooching.

Likewise here from the UK. Be polite and respectful and generally I've never had any issues.

Once I even had the guard - who before me had been dealing with a plane full of Chinese tourists - give me a knowing smile and a "I can tell you know what you're doing" kinda comment as he more or less waived me through. I guess being a white male native-english speaker helps a lot in those scenarios.

P.S. Global entry helps a lot in these scenarios and is (still? was?) available to non-US citizens
Look at the bodycam video[1] of this "arrest." Everything that happened to that man was a tragedy, not for any of the reasons you listed. It was a gross misuse of force against a completely innocent person. They treated him like he was subhuman and fabricated a storyline that led to his death.

Even more disgusting, they went back to the site of arrest to take a selfie [2], essentially mocking this dead man.

> For game developers, between this and the ARM switch on macOS, this could be a serious death to gaming on macOS.

ARM could be a boon for macOS gaming if it allows for better access to iOS titles.
Renewables have externalities too. Just because it's harder to mass hyterise them, they still exist. Eg the cost of mining for battery parts, parts that are needed to manufacture hundreds of thousands of wind turbines, millions of PV panels, inverters, etc.

That said, of course it's perfectly reasonable to try to preserve some areas, and to put power generation somewhere out of sight.

My own experience (n=1) with orthodontists comes from when I was a child and watching my sister go through what seemed the misery of braces and orthodontics in general.

My dentist referred me to the same orthodontist my sister went to, I was evaluated and the orthodontist determined that I needed braces too. Only, having witnessed my sister's unpleasant experience, I steadfastly refused and eventually persuaded my parents to wait until there were signs visible to us that I needed braces. The orthodontist assured us this was a terrible idea and we should act now to solve the problem early. Instead, we went with my plan and my teeth were fine and I never had braces or saw an orthodontist again.
Not 2000 cases, 200 cases (1 / 0.53%). If it were 2000 cases then 40 million new yorkers got COVID (which is larger than the population of NYC).

It does but by default it uses GTK2. You won’t get the same experience on all platforms with Xamarin Desktop. Each platform has a different rendering engine.
I would say the downside is Google, because they may just kill Flutter and/or Dart even if they get popular. I just can't make myself hitch anything important to Google's tech anymore.

I do think Dart itself is a fine language, though.

Epic wants to ship 'Epic Payments' as a built in and trivial to enable feature in every Unreal built game which I'm sure would give a much higher cut to devs which in turn would drive higher and higher %s of devs for IOS to their engine.

This is Apple trying to ward off a business model they consider parasitic and destructive to a large chunk of their app store revenue.

> Suggesting accessible software is a human right? You have to know how silly that looks compared to the list of other things that qualify as human rights.

I'd argue that what's truly silly is refusing to recognise that software/the web is becoming (if not has already become) as much core global infrastructure as physical equivalents are. We can't push for and actively build an increasingly online world and then plug our ears and pretend that the accessibility of online spaces isn't as important as the accessibility of physical ones.
No that's not how things work. The US came from a savior position after WWII and then started acting like child who's lollypop was stolen. They committed an unimaginable range of atrocities in their useless wars in countries that wanted to stop trading in dollars, then came 9/11 and things went even more downhill.

The truth is: The US is now judged by people in other countries how it really is. It's not overly negative compared to reality. If you are a superpower you are measured by a higher standard than a normal country. With power comes great responsibility, and the US currently has about zero.

This assumes that the source and target listings definitely have accurate keywords.

> A substantial percentage of infections are believed to not show up in seroprevalence studies

What is the reason behind this?
It may also be a legal argument, but it's very clearly a move to gain public sentiment to their side - it's being published broadly by the media, after all.

Epic is painting themselves as the underdogs being bullied by Apple - the multi-billion dollar contract-breaking underdog.

> What do you mean? How could CA work without any data?

Tracking, in this context, means tracking behavior across other websites. CA got data that was created simply by having a Facebook account and friending other people (they used oauth/login with Facebook). Facebook would have to not have existed, or not provide as much data to third party applications, to prevent their collection.
Is there a way to mass-disassemble panels and replace the cells? Panel sizes could have been long standardized. I used to buy slightly damaged 6x6 cells on eBay from the factory, so could this be the size template for the automated tooling and robotic maneuvering required to switch out the active material?
It's much less clear cut than that. In fact death with COVID ≠ death from COVID every single time, even for elderly people.
Do you know what? Private industry doesn't care about nuclear. The only way to build nuclear is through government projects which is why there is immense pressure by nuclear companies to publicly dismiss everything that can support itself. Companies set up their own coal plants, natural gas plants, solar farms, wind farms and so on but what they don't do is build their own nuclear plants. Come up with better power plant designs and maybe then private industry will be interested.
I don't understand the comments on this thread that seem to want to suppress preliminary data about COVID.

Sure, the confidence interval is ridiculously large but the paper is open about its methods and conclusions. It's definitely in the "more work is needed" category, but I don't see how this information should not be published.
