Yes but some are "foreseen" by lunatics and some by empirical science.

This is the old "there is no truth, everything is subjective, so according to my alternative facts, I was in the right and everyone else was wrong" spiel again.
I wonder whether the innovation will really be capped in a real sense. Lets say if Apple does not introduce the iPhone, would some one not eventually still come up with a similar product? I (personally) consider that opportunity is a rarer commodity than innovativeness, and that most innovations will come about, albeit a little later.

You aren't that old. I've been doing Oracle PL/SQL development with reporting/BI for over 20 years.

I started doing Java dev and found out that it's really a full time job to have a decent awareness of all the Java and spring framework or EE stuff so I never really progressed it. I've also done the same with .Net and web dev (including various frameworks) and mobile.

This has given me a good overall technical knowledge and I'm now working as a technical architect for various types of systems which include databases, microservices, rest, queuing, cloud etc. I still get to do some technical low level work as well as high level design and discussion/mentoring with devs and business. It seems to fit well with my skills, is well paid and currently in demand. It does require a bit of a change of approach compared to low level work.

I'd avoid ML/AI or anything "cool" unless you have a particular interest or aptitude for it. Don't spend too long on any particular framework as they will change soon enough.

Good Luck!

Sure, if you call them and set up the pitch and go through it all, I can see how 50% of people would find it interesting and say, yeah, sure, I’ll take that. But that’s not science, and is why we do things like double-blinding tests so that the participants don’t know what’s going on.

That's nonsensical, if you could buy the hardware cheaper or iOS separate then you would be paying for iOS, you can't, Apple doesn't sell iOS, it gives it away. The cost for new iOS versions is irrelevant to the cost of hardware it's running on, it's free for all their devices for as long as they meet the hardware requirements for running new versions.

You could buy an iPhone and put a jail break OS on it, you're still paying the full amount for the device.

Historically, societies have given a pretty shitty deal to people who can't vote, and a much better deal to people who can.

After all, if you're a politician, you want to get re-elected - so appeasing voters is much more important than appeasing people who can't vote. And appeasing demographics where 90% of people can vote is more important than appeasing demographics where 50% of people can vote.

So any type of testing to be allowed to vote - high school graduation, reading, IQ, current affairs - would be quite detrimental to the people who don't get to vote.

Well, you just look at the PC ecosystem and you can see the nightmare.

Like others,I prefer Apple to have a tightly controlled App Store and believe that the benefits far outweigh the ability to install software from a 3rd party App Store.

For example, Apple requiring Sign In with Apple (when signin with Google/Facebook are implemented) where you can hide your email address. That’s not possible with multiple app stores. Apple helps lead the way with privacy.

If you want multiple app stores and all that, just buy an Android phone. iPhone is for people like me who want a tightly controlled experience. That’s the way it’s designed. You don’t buy a Corolla and get mad that you can’t off road with it, do you?
AFAIK they did not threaten to remove licenses for companies using the Unreal Engine. Just Epic’s.

Most likely, given the totalitarian and zero-trust nature of the Chinese Communist Party, it makes sense to focus on Chinese-made smartphones.

I think the fact that they are Chinese made is completely relevant and I think your comment is bait that plays to people's desire not to be racist. There is a serious rot in the world as a result of the CCP - can we stop acting like fools and admit that is a fact and not some racist nonsense? No one says bashing Nazis is anti German. This is a regime that made meat patties out of the best of their youth and I am so sick of the apologist garbage I see on this website especially from Daniel Gackle.
Come on. “We’ll remove your license if you keep misbehaving” is in no way similar to “we’ll go after your users and remove their license”.

It’s a threat in the long term, if Epic and Apple cannot negotiate something satisfying (which they will eventually, there’s just too much to lose for both of them), but let’s keep some perspective.

It's sad that even a brilliant person like Bryan can get opensource so horribly wrong at a fundamental level. Right at the beginning, he says F/OSS established itself because it leapt ahead technologically, not because "all that freedom / user rights stuff"; he totally fails to see how that "user rights stuff" is what allowed the jump to happen - because even developers are users when they first encounter a piece of software. Without the rights of users to read source, tweak it to their liking, and republish it, there is no right for developers to enable the technological leap. I hope Bryan simply chose a poor turn of phrase.

He makes another poor turn when he says that the CDDL kept stuff out of Linux, but "not because of the CDDL but because of perceptions of the GPL" (i.e. IHVs didn't want to deal with the GPL). The license and the choice of using it are two different things. Sun could have written a license that was not GPL (to satisfy IHVs) but was compatible with GPL. They did not. Danese Cooper, who was part of that effort, says this was on purpose, and stated it on record ( http://caesar.ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-meetings/2006/debcon... from 27:30). I guess Bryan was one of those engineers Danese mentions as "having some biases" back then. It was certainly obvious, at the time, what a careful avoidance of a license compatible with the biggest Solaris competitor would have resulted in, from a practical and commercial standpoint.

One of the cute things is, that I like Aral. I do, ever since he got mad at PayPal. I like him because he has been steadfast at this while many of the others that started to bang on this problem when it just appeared (2006/7/8) either joined the armies of Mordor .. (Chris Messina?) Or got tired... Distracted.. or are still fighting the fight from the sidelines (Evan Prodromou, Blaine Cook, such lovely people!). So many have just disappeared.

Yeah, his self-aggrandizing can be tiresome. He does sound like a one person cult from time to time. But he has been tireless in saying the one important thing "This fight can be won. Don't let up. It is worth fighting". And that in itself is worth our respect.

Now, I have long come to the conclusion that there are no technical solutions to this. Only political ones. In the sense that at the micro level we need to create the movement of people that care. At the macro level we need to elect the people that pass the laws that break the megacorps or make them into public utilities. It doesn't mean we stop working on the software infrastructure to combat the Evil empire(s). But software alone won't cut it.

Now Aral is not useless on those tlfights either. He keeps talking about them, and talks well.

So, will Site.js make any dent in anything? Quite obviously not. Personally, technically, most of it makes me cringe quite violently.

Could it have had a better chance if Aral was "nicer", humbler, at a bit better at coalition building? Probably.

At any rate, Aral, not being "nice" is no reason to be nasty yourself.

Best of luck Aral, keep up the fight, and thank you for your service.

Just a scenario I’ve experienced—
You’re at the super market in one of those help your self lines. Unless the store is not busy, there is always some traffic.

Sometimes you have one or a few items, and someone in front will let you pass. (Will wait)

Other times someone in front of you has a lot and they apologize for holding up the line. You might think, no problem at all. (Is patient)

And yet others are so harried and stressed they will take every advantage offered. (Always go)

Seems there is enough variation just on personal experience. Supermarket lines could be a good simulation.
But why? What is the benefit of giving up that control?

> People tell us they see it as: ‘dumbing down’, ‘simplistic’

This can be a real issue, indeed.

It is one thing to speak to people in a language they will understand without judging. But it is another thing to simplify grammar and vocabulary too much in written technical documents that need to be precise.

One example is the push to use "plain English" in legal documents. As it happens, legal documents are highly technical and the wording is very important, with terms having an actual precise meaning.

There needs to be a balance.

I tend to look at it in terms of how safe you can be while being lazy. We should have replication, DR , backups at various intervals, snapshots (as someone else mentioned take forever with big disks). When we have less than what we “should” I think the 9s paint a picture of how risky we are playing. Keeping in mind, less than should is always lazy. We gotta call it what it is.
Or just have a proper online form that asks for your DoB and leads you through entry of the necessary info.

Because it does not matter to the vast majority of people. In fact many appreciate that there is a gate keeper.

There are so many categories where you cannot load software outside of what the manufacturer provides that you cannot list them. It would also be impractical to allow otherwise for many of these. Then you end up with warranty issues.

Would you allow people to load software of their choice for their automobiles? Tesla is fighting this one now where people are paying a third party to boost their horsepower.

Smart TVs usually are limited by their OS and encumbered by licensing that locks down what can be loaded. This mostly is because of decoding legalities

Who becomes liable if your privacy, assets, or even the device, are compromised because you were able to load software not vetted? Do you want a world where you need a virus scan program for your phone?

I look at it this way, you have a choice in what you buy, because a manufacturer does not adhere to your desire is by no means justification for forcing them to do so.
Here are just some reasons why android isn’t an alternative:

Most ship with maleware that can’t be removed (or can’t be removed without giving up on updating the OS.)

Android still doesn’t let you run a lot of 3rd party software (the latest version breaks Termux for example.)

Apple’s anticompetitive behavior also ties people to the platform (iMessage is a great example of this. My family won’t use any other IM app so even if I buy another phone (which I have, it’s supposed to arrive in September) I’ll have to keep my iPhone just to talk to them.)

Finally the hardware is just bad. Qualcomm does not make nice SOCs (IMO) but it could be just because the software they provide with them is complete garbage. There’s no alternative in the US either.
Because the practice of parsing more complicated sentences, compounded over time, might instill in people the mental fortitude that translates in other areas? But yup, I get it.
Because of the capitalisation combined with the domain name that tittle ("The Renaissance of the Shell") made me expect to read a piece of propaganda from the oil company. Considering that generally the term shell means any software with purpose to manipulate files and run other programs, it would be better to call it "The renaissance of the command line shell".

Yes but Epic still needs those licenses to support those companies and continue to develop the engine. Regardless of the other matter going on, it looks punitive to me. I think when we look back on this event in 5-10 years' time, we'll see this as a serious misstep by Apple.
Naive way of looking at it, Chernobyl caused huge changes to the way of life for many people, not only in the vicinity, I live in Sweden and I remember that day when it rained and how we decades afterwards sent meat, berries and other food stuff for testing ....
I do not see a nightmare, that is the thing - why do you see one?

What you describe is possible with multiple app stores and allowing 3rd party apps - you just do not use those other stores and apps. Nobody is forcing you to use a 3rd party app store, but Apple is forcing everyone to go through their store.

You can keep your tightly controlled experience by not using anything else than Apple - but that doesn't mean everyone has to be forced to do the same thing.
