'People who actually fight in wars, from ancient times to now, tend to talk in "high" language.'

Most people I've known who were at the sharp end in wars tend to avoid talking about it at all.
There are many ways, and they look nothing like this of course.

For a hint, have a look at how a CPU implements the LRU cache (eg. L1, L2). It’s not rocket science.

Let's take his toilet program. For the amount of money he spent, he could've build enough sewage treatment plant for a few African countries.

Similarly, the "affordable" nuclear powerplant programs are not suitable for developing countries. It unequivocal that a cheapest fossil fuel station is the best option for places that never had an industrial economy. Once it has been kickstarted, you can think of more exotic options.

Which incidentally sucks terribly. Ad blocking on iOS and macOS is a complete turd.
I would add that the way the contact constraints are solved decides what kind of artifacts you will be getting and you need to understand that to be able to understand precision of your simulation.

Even for a videogame this would be important. You may want to know if it is possible for fast moving objects to pass each other or not. You might then want to limit the velocity of objects (a cheap trick to solve the issue, but very effective), or you might want to choose an engine specifically for this (for example if you make a billiards game or a shooter).
>does the law require one to take statements made by a person on the Internet at face value if they seem patently false? If yes, is such a law practical and/or reasonable?

Doesn't this effectively legalize fraud? If you order a product on Amazon and something else arrives you'll have to take the merchant listing at face value because it was communicated over the internet.

You are a construction worker and go on Amazon and order a power bank. It was actually a fake listing by a third party seller.

Two days later the package arrives, you unpack it only to discover that you have received a brick instead of the promised power bank.

You dispute the sale and send an E-Mail to the third party seller. You tell him this product is red, it is square and it is heavy, it's a brick, not a power bank.

The seller responds. Yes, the product is red, it is square and it is heavy, it's a power bank. Here is a picture of the power bank (shows the brick).
Soldiers talk in "high" language? You obviously don't watch the soldiers I watch.

I love reading the Apple fanboys comments.
Please do keep defending Apple and it's mafia cut, I am honestly amazed that people cannot see Apple's fault in this, not only do they make you increase your prices by 43% (to get the 30% cut, prices need to increase by 43%) they won't let you even explain to customers the reason why it is more expensive (Hint: they won't let you do it because they know it is a highway robbery).

When I buy something and get a bill, I like to know how much of the price goes to taxes, if anything else at least for the transparency.
A person in the world makes a thing, shows you the thing, and even nice enough to give you enough info so you can also make the thing if you want.

Turns out the thing is not useful for something you picked out of thin air and that makes you feel disappointed? Where is this entitlement coming from? Why would it need to be useful for the boating crowd? I know a person who builds grandfather clocks. Absolutely useless on a boat. The cabinetry would warp in no time. Does that too disappoint you?

Furthermore, the nice person who shared this design now, also shared previously a real watertight design. Your boating crowd can still use that. It wasn't removed or invalidated by this newer thing at all.

> "It's not that hard to get watertight USB connectors."

I really don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying that the author should have used watertight USB connections because someone might read their post later and that someone might have a boat?

Please tell me that I'm misunderstanding what you wrote.

How about GitLab then? The CEO is Dutch, working (AIUI) in SF, and the engineering team are all remote. The company is incorporated in the Netherlands, US, UK, and a load of other countries. Does that make them principally a Dutch, American, or ??? company?
Do they? According to the screenshots in the article they don't. It seems that whoever is actually selling something via Facebook will simply get less from Apple users.
> As an aside, I don't understand why people translating works of martial glory choose rap as the modern equivalent. People who actually fight in wars, from ancient times to now, tend to talk in "high" language.

This isn’t borne out by the evidence. Homeric Greek, though a slight mixture of dialects because bards would travel from community to community performing it, probably would not have been seen as a "high language" by its original audience. The Kyrgyz Manas (the epic which can be readily compared to rap in both themes and, with many reciters, in the delivery) also isn’t appreciably “higher” than ordinary spoken Kyrgyz.

It's not about not allowing the FB app, it'd be about forcing those purchases to incur the 30% fee; no way FB would give up that much money.
Exactly. Why should e.g. a floppy disk symbol signify anything to anybody born after 2000.
I think next day is overrated. If something is important enough for you, surely most people should be willing to wait a few days e.g a week for it to arrive. It's not like you are going to finish that book the same day (usually).
It's possible that the server just forwards a selection of packets from each participant (hopefully dropping some from those who aren't speaking or moving) and the client stitches them into the view.

Apple is going end up getting the short end of the stick here. The optics on this whole debacle are just too bad.

Walled garden and enforcement of strict rules to protect the user is one thing, but walled garden to protect profits hits a little different.
Thanks! Sorry for the late reply but I am not the OP, I just found your comment. This is interesting, I will look into it a bit more, as I'm not that familiar with Obj-C any more (I last used it on a NeXT 20 years ago). I think I put into the broad category of composition everything that works through interfaces, but it might be useful to discuss this particular implementation. Thanks again!
there does seem to be mounting pressure for the current model to change. i doubt it will be like the scenario you offered, but i wonder what the options are.

i suppose more transparency on them getting a cut, and/or decreasing the size of the cut are plausible.
Likewise, I could swear that the first couple of times I had to use Zoom there was a clean/clear/large font option to "use web", and after some time they must have removed it (or changd the font to white and set it to 3).

I use WindowsFirewallControl (WFC) by BiniSoft (think ZoneAlarmPro) and "Allow" very specific executables to reach the internet. In that case, the Install/Uninstall.exe would cause an alarm, and I would (of course) "Block" it.

I know this is not a solution for (ahem) elderly, but it can work for the majority of 'us'.
Teenagers are complicated creatures. Admittedly, this stuff seems impossibly extreme? Maybe I am indeed rather naive. I must have frequented much more harmless online communities. I never understood the appeal of SA or 4Chan.
At the same time I can see how, as teenagers, people can get sucked into these communities, where edginess lures one in with some kind of false promise of 'freedom' from the rules of a society that appears to have rejected oneself. Even if that rejection may be self-imposed.
At some point it's just a competition for who can say the most horrific things. I don't know how one would counteract this.
The funny thing is, I also cringe at what I wrote online as a teenager, but I never took it to these extremes.
However, recognising it (and 'hating' oneself for it) is a first step in fixing the problem, hopefully.
This looks very promising. Will there be PS4/PS5 support, or is that not under consideration?
Personally I want to be able to travel somewhere nearby on a whim, hold a product in my hands, sometimes physically compare it to a competing product, then travel home with it on that very same day.
Looks like a nice device, but my main issue with it is the price.
The regular price is €556, and i can get a regular laptop for that. Even at the discounted price of €399 i can get an iPad or Surface Go, all devices that has much more generalized use.

I have no doubt it's a quality product, and i guess i just don't value my handwritten notes highly enough to warrant one :)
Nope, you forgot rule 0.0.0(a):

Apple can change the rules at any time for any reason with no notice. We may not provide details of the new rules.
https://github.com/vlang/ui also seems promising and more targeted to devs who're more comfortable with go lang
Naw I’m shite with cash and 100 a year is still too much for this. Especially if it’s my device I already bought doing all the work.

I understand folks gotta make a living but I feel the price is based on “Hey got away with it”. Best of luck but I’ll stick with my notes and scribbles on blank business cards and notepads

For me Muse’s competitor is 100 (double sided where appropriate) cards for a fiver every month or two. I’ve never had my data held hostage for nonpayment either (I don’t know if they do this, I’m just not new to subscription models)

Also if you do happen to use Evernote you know why I’m using business cards. So easy to digitise if I ever do need to
could you elaborate that please? how does hardware storage look like?

do you mean, these tiny drawers for screws and elecric parts?

i am not sure that helps much. many parts are hard to categorize. you'll end up searching through many drawers. i think larger groupings that don't sort every part into a different drawer are better. i just haven't found the right kind of shelf for that.
They have improved a lot, but there are still the forced restarts, as well as the poor document recovery of the office suite.
Together this is a bad combo as I'm constantly worried I might have lost some data in the documents I work on.

They have improved the document recovery quite a lot in the last two years, but they still manage to make the process rather confusing, so sometimes I accidentally save the version with the lost data instead of the other.

OpenOffice had this figured out some 15 years ago.
I never lost data to OpenOffice, and I was running it on a laptop (essentially) without a battery.
More than that, we also have the problem that many users look online on Amazon first.

For example, for online searches (in the UK), I try Amazon, Wordery, and Waterstones.com -- but usually Amazon first. If they don't have something or for some reason I feel I need to look elsewhere, I try the others.

Interestingly, for old or hard-to-find books, many people in the UK use BookDepository.com and AbeBooks -- guess what, both are owned by Amazon.

(I try to make up by visiting my local Waterstones regularly and more niche bookshops like Daunt when I can, but of course during the pandemic that's gone out of the window).
Yeah, from reading the replies here, I am beginning to think that I frequented some rather harmless parts of the internet, while left-right-and-centre, people were getting seriously harmed. It's quite eye opening :/

Corporate Meeting Spaces
I understand why journalists are starting newsletters en masse, but I think most people in tech are going about newsletters the wrong way.

Instead of trying to start a media business (which is by nature, a low margin slog, save for a few B2B markets), why not use the newsletter as lead gen for a much more lucrative business like Saas or Courses or high end consulting?

In which case substack is not a great platform for you, given they provide zero SEO value for your domain. Like with Medium, when you write on substack and share your content, you’re growing substack’s backlinks and authority. Not your own.

The newsletter being the product itself is only going to work for a very tiny group of writers in the end. If you’re not writing about a niche business topic, or don’t already have a massive audience, forget about it.

Remember, Bloomberg created the media company as a distribution channel for selling their terminal (one of the most profitable SaaS businesses on earth). Not the other way around.
Accessibility makes things easier not only for those who need it, but, somewhat surprisingly, also for quite a lot of people who wouldn’t normally think of themselves as even needing or wanting any help. This is usually referred to as the Curb Cut Effect, and has been extensively discussed.
I think the hard part is that unpredictable work has to be done more with discipline. Predictable work often originates from external requirements, and the external interest to the work gives you motivation. However, unpredictable work requires more intrinsic motivation (or discipline), as there is no external interest until you get some results.
It's not "in-app" content.

But there is no confidentiality clause in the App store agreements, is there? It's public knowledge that Apple applies a 30% tax, it's just not actively known by the general population.

Sure, a single blog post might not reach everybody. But at the same time, lots of people won't care, and everybody that searches for "Apple Tax 30%" on the web will find their blog post. Maybe they can get Bono to write a song about it! ;)

Don't forget low speed handling and stall characteristics.

There are so many places where the practically of this aircraft would fall down. Good luck fitting deicing boots to a wing which needs to be kept so clean polishing it makes a difference.

Also, good luck trying to get an clearence to climb to 60,000ft around any busy international airspace. Regardless of any aerodynamics miracles this aircraft pulls off I'm sure we agree that it's climb performance will be distinctly average. That means it's going to take well over an hour to get up there. 20 mins or more could be spent in the RVSM band (FL280+) where most of the airliners are, expect to be vectored all over the sky while this happens. This is already a problem in something like the CJ2 which like to cruise higher than the airliners but aren't quite as fast. It's climb performance is considerably better than you would expect from this aircraft.
I remember the first time I read a heavily-footnoted Shakespeare play and discovering that for every word or passage I thought I needed to look up there were two or three that I did as well but did not realize simply because the language has changed so much. I.e., the modern meaning made enough sense that I would have been none the wiser without the footnote.

But while an updated Shakespeare might be good thing if well done, to me it would be a new thing, and not Shakespeare.
VW do seem to be betting the company on EV's, it will be interesting to see what happens over the next decade.

That'll require two more years of CV-related economic destruction then - the only reason EVs are taking that much percentage is because new car sales overall are through the floor.
I absolutely hate it when a blog doesn't have a date or has incomplete dates. When was this posted?

Someone else here posted a link to a related post (https://back7.co/home/raspberry-pi-recovery-kit). A "related article" has the title "Project Retrospective: Raspberry Pi Field Unit from 2015". No idea which year this was posted either.

Too much whitespace and too much scrolling.
> People want to try on clothes and see how they fit and compare them

Sure, but I can't find the clothes I want at the mall, and I can on Amazon. The mall bookstores that used to exist only sold bestsellers.

The "bookstore" I like to browse these days is Goodwill. I sometimes bring home a shopping bag full of books, for only a few dollars. I've also bought many "grab bags" of books from Ebay. The Bellevue Public Library has a second hand bookstore attached, where people donate books and the store sells them. I've bought a large number of books from them, and the little old ladies who run it are always charming. Highly recommended!

There are a couple "Little Free Libraries" in my neighborhood and I regularly insert scifi in them.
Interesting scenario. Would miners in other countries mine FedCoin though? It seems unlikely that people in other countries would stop using Bitcoin entirely.

To kill Bitcoin entirely the Fed would likely have to convince the FedCoin miners to periodically launch 51% attacks against the Bitcoin blockchain.
I'm wondering if the matrix method is powerful enough for this particular problem.

What do we know about the class of terminating rewriting systems that are solvable by translation to matrixes of size n? Is there a known terminating system that does not have a matrix solution? Or maybe at least a proof that such a system exists?
Tesla better up their game on finish & quality.

It's not irrelevant because there might be other platforms where you can buy the same product cheaper. And the 30 percent cut information might be a good hint to look elsewhere. I guess that's why Apple fights this so viciously.
One thing that could cause this loss of faith to occur is if the Chinese are successful with making their new E-currency a medium of exchange for Americans.

My understanding is that the modern monetary theorists have an argument as to why this hyperinflation won't happen in a country with monetary sovereignty. (All the famous historical examples of hyperinflation involve countries that do not control their own currency.)

Damned if I can find a good basic text explaining the MMT argument. Naked Capitalism makes some great allusions but seems like you need to already be on their team to understand their arguments.

Seems pretty important to understand this stuff as we are all modern monetary theorists now whether we like it or not.
Could you elaborate on that? Of course no computer is completely secure against all forms of attack, but I’ve found statements like these to not contribute very much towards solving any practical security problems.
And if asteroid mining happens, gold might be as common (in the form of alloys) as steel.

Dinosaurs were not around during the period in question, but their fossils were, as were the crocodilians and large monitor lizards. So if dragons are based on a real thing, I prefer one of those things. But I also think it's a mistake to discount the imaginations and creativity of previous generations. They might simply have imagined a scaled up garden lizard, adding fire-breathing at some point along the way.
I don't think this has anything to do with free speech to be honest. Even though I find it odd and upsetting that free speech is severely limited for the worse in other contexts in the corporate world.
