Perhaps I didn't make myself entirely clear - I completely agree that they should be regulated. I would even suggest going further than that. Neither Apple nor Google should gate-keep these market places in the first place. No private company should.

I see this desire here to apply existing terms to the situation - but I feel they are not applicable. Apple and Google are not exhibiting anti-competitive behavior when they moderate the marketplace. They are not competing. What Apple product is competing with a random app they reject on the marketplace for a random reason?

It is not a question of competition. The problem is that Apple and Google are in control and gatekeep the marketplace in the first place. They control the critical digital infrastructure that other companies build their products on, and if they decide that they don't like you you are out of luck and might as well give up your business. That is where the harm comes from.

Private companies should not control critical digital infrastructure, just like private companies should not control critical physical infrastructure.
Steak tartare is also popular in Hungary, where it's called Tatár beefsteak. I still think it sometimes looks disgusting but I admit I love to eat it once in a while. (And any version worth eating is fairly expensive, since you should be using very good beef.)

The catch, for anyone who's never tried it, is that you're not just eating raw meat, you're eating finely chopped raw meat and butter and egg yolk and onion and toast etc.

Now I'm wondering what animals we do eat raw in America other than oysters and (if you know where to go) other sea creatures that might be alive when served.
Everyone wants to fire up Tensorflow, Keras and PyTorch these days. Fewer people want to work in Airflow and SSIS, spend days tuning ETL, etc. This is the domain of data engineering, which bridges software engineering and data science with a dash of devops. I’ve been working in this field for a couple of years and it’s clear to me that data engineering is a necessary foundation and impact multiplier for data science.
There is no reference point for speed. It's all relative. Hence the theory of "relativity".

Of course this is a joke.
The comparison is entirely pointless. There are interchanges in Italy that are of comparable size; just outside my home town, there are medium-sized factory buildings that are larger than its entire historical center, complete with its 13th century frescoed palaces. The area of the Sistine Chapel - 560 m^2- is easily dwarfed by that of most small supermarkets.

The fact is that- unless scarce- space is valued- no, wait, it's defined- by what it contains and by your relation to it, not by its size. When traveling on a motorway you cross multiple times per second the entire length of your living room, a space where a centimetre-sized stain can give you nightmares. This beauty in the Netherlands ( https://www.spoorpro.nl/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/maasvlakt... ) is more or less the size of Manhattan. The Mona Lisa painting is smaller than the patch in your backyard where you keep your garbage cans. And so?
As a developer of a couple of open source macOS apps, I couldn't have said it better myself.
It could be a euphemism, but a more charitable explanation is that they are trying to acknowledge that their rules have a lot of gray area. "Guidelines" could be interpreted as a rule, but a specific type of rule, one that requires more of a judgment call to determine whether it was violated.

Ideally rules would be clear and objective. Maybe there are cases where Apple could be better about that, but it's not always possible. For example, one of the rules is to select the appropriate category. I can't imagine how you'd write a rule that perfectly defines proper categorization. Another example is that apps must "use power efficiently", but good luck completely defining what is too wasteful or what is/isn't a worthwhile use of battery power.
Columbia Psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman’s Star Wars Personality Test
No information on the web is 100% perfect or accurate. Even the NYT makes a host of mistakes daily across all its edited articles, and publishes corrections for the most serious ones when readers point them out.

Google's results are largely accurate, and as long as it has a mechanism for correcting mistakes does seem to make it pretty OK to me.

What are you suggesting any serious alternative be? That would actually work at scale?
Kiwix offers downloadable mirrors of the various StackExchange sites. I haven't played with 'em to see how searchable they are, but there's something to be said for keeping a local copy.

What is the exact rule here for how to follow a geodesic along a polyhedron? If we pick a vertex on a polyhedron and start marching across a face, in order for that to be a geodesic, how do we continue when we cross an edge onto an adjacent face? Is it simply that the there must be an equal and opposite angle of incidence?

(Like, suppose we imagine ascending an A-frame roof on an angle, and then, passing the ridge, descend down the other side, following a path that matches the ascent such that there is a 180 degree of rotational symmetry around the intersection. Both segments of the path lie in a plane that makes a vertical cut through the roof. Is that it?)
unfortunately it's not possible to change the behavior because of backward compatibility.

maybe we could have a `sort2()` method that works differently.
I expect data driven leaders to be good at analyzing data. The rest are bullshitters.
OK you were right, it is correct.

At first sight this (default = difetto) looked like so many careless anglicisms, where a faint similarity in sound and meaning induces someone into believing it is a translation.

And this happens really more than needed in technical texts. My point was that you cannot trust technical people to make good translations, an it is outrageous that a translation is considered correct just because it was written in a book. But this does not apply here.

I am making up my mind that this was instead a delicate and careful intellectual construction that dutifully just failed to convey the meaning.

So be it.
Anecdotally, it caught a good 80-90%+ of instances where users touched their face. No, it's absolutely not perfect, but it was an app I built over a weekend and I never billed it as a medical app. On their request, I even removed all references to health. It was always meant to help nudge people towards awareness of touching their face and didn't need to be 100% accurate.

By the end (and the website doesn't show the latest screenshots since I gave up updating it after getting the run around for weeks), it was even so neutral it didn't make a claim that touching your face was even good or bad. You could have interpreted it as a trainer to touch your face more if you wanted.
Legitimate shame is a pro-social emotion against breaking purity codes. For a child this could be around cleanliness (“don’t defecate on anywhere other than allowed places”, “don’t fart while eating”), boundaries (“don’t show your genitals to others”, “don’t touch other people’s genitals”, “don’t spit on other people”) but also more complex social interactions (“don’t steal other people’s stuff”, “don’t punch your friends”, “don’t dominate the playground, let others play”). Note that although shame circuitry is involved in all, it is not in the form we are most familiar with, which is heavy handed ostracism and total abandonment, but as minimal as necessary, because shame is a very powerful emotion as is.
Well this is a ridiculous statement. That's like saying you don't trust the US anymore because ENRON messed up. Nonsense. The Germans are investigating it, and as always they will make changes to prevent the nonsense again. Ironically enough, it stemmed from the US model of too many lobbyists. :D
Hmm, let's see. The last time I blew the computer's stack due to tree recursion was in 1995 (it was six levels deep). Since then, I've never seen a stack overflow due to tree recursion (presumably because none of the trees I've operated on were deeper than the hardware stack, and I switched from C to Python where the stack is far, far deeper).

If I were writing a server that needed better memory requirements, I could certainly transform my code if desired.

M-expressions did fail. Their greatest failure is that they persist as a universal strawman that's useful for killing any conversation about evolving lisp's syntax.

M-expressions didn't just fail because they were unnecessary; they also failed because they just weren't a very good syntax. They were more cluttered and less readable than S-expressions, while adding no real practical value.

But Clojure has arguably demonstrated that you can evolve on Lisp syntax without going to M-expressions, or even changing S-expressions all that much, just by adding a few new bits of literal syntax and sprinkling some clever macros into the standard library. (A macro invocation may not technically be syntax from the parser's perspective, but it sure feels like syntactic sugar from a user experience perspective.)

And, while I haven't actually tried them at all, I've at least been intrigued by t-expressions. They seem to achieve some nice things like git-friendliness and easier visual scannability without sacrificing on macro-ability.
Or like conversion rate optimization tools.
On the post it says Haskell is not IDE friendly. It is really hard to make an IDE around Haskell or does it just that it lacks support?
Given incompleteness and like the difficulty of the busy beaver problem, its pretty clear why brute forcing isn't really effective for much of math. Plus, the results it gives are maybe a bit less interesting because they don't provide as much insight on a clean and simple structure. How math works is cool and all, but why path works can open many new insights.

Apple does not have great treatment of consumers. It’s very inconsistent, so it sometimes feels great.

> Social - How many people have learned to trade and avoid scams IRL by playing RuneScape?

This may be true, but RuneScape players do not seek out the game to improve that skill. They don't think, "well, I'm pretty crappy at trading and dealing with scammers. I guess I'll go play RuneScape, even though it's not fun at all, to improve that skill."

The other examples in your paragraph are in the same vein. I am not saying that playing games does not have positive benefits. I'm saying that most players do not choose to play games primarily for those benefits.

> I know people that hate doing exercise, yet they played hundreds of hours of Table Tennis in VR and losing weight.

My point exactly. If all they cared about was losing weight, they would exercise and play Table Tennis at the same rate. The reason they play VR tennis is because it's more usable.

> I don't know if you are a gamer or not, but gaming communities are huge.

Not much of a gamer these days, but I worked at EA for eight years.

You're taking umbrage at what I said because games are clearly close to your heart, but read a little closer. I'm not attacking games. I'm doing the opposite. I'm pointing out that games must be fantastically designed because people will choose to sink hours into them regardless of whether they provide practical benefit or not.

Let's say a study came out that showed that RuneScape actually did not improve your real-life trading skills. Do you think that would significantly affect how much people played it?
I’m interested in this
Well this is where I think autonomous planes would be superior. First off they could make determinations on their own, the old have three or more computers making decisions and voting, as well as be constantly updating and receiving from ground stations. This can be vital in a situation where the computer decides it no longer trusts its own inputs.

It all comes down to this, it won't be solved quickly, but with proper flight routing and use of specialized airports it can all be resolved without endangering the public. For the most part planes are not falling out of the sky on a regular basis but it would be interesting to see statistics on the number of registered events per miles flown.

Human ATC could still be involved, the words used for events can be very specific and the system can know how to respond to all of this. Automated flights would have special call signs and even may end up handled by assigned ATC to keep them separate.

> How would one go about implementing case-insensitive path lookup against a SMB share containing a
> few million files from userspace? It must be in the kernel.

SMB in the kernel is a rather dangerous game. Not saying it can't be done (and I know Samsung is doing it :-), but it's a significantly more complex protocol than even NFSv4 (which also really shouldn't be in the kernel either). For complexities sake, userspace is easier IMHO (much easier to debug).

Also, you seem to be of the opinion that code in the kernel must be "magic", in that it can do things that user-space can't. The "missing case" lookup problem still exists for kernel code as it does for user-space code.

Looking up "foo" in all case variations in a file containing a few million files still has to be done by search in the kernel as it does in user-space. It's going to be slow there too unless you provide a case-insensitive indexing mechanism.

Now the kernel offers easier opportunities to do things like directory content caching, which currently aren't exposed to user space via any API - but once you have to do something like directory content caching it's also possible to expose that feature to userspace via an API.

> Else implementations of stuff with human-derived semantics should move out of the kernel, but moving SMB into userspace would of course be ridiculous

Samba would beg to disagree of course :-).
I have never even heard of a metric angular unit.

Well, the radian measurement of a plane angle can be defined as a ratio of the length of a circular arc divided by the length of the arc's radius, so the "metre per metre" (a.k.a. "1") is a legitimate (derived) metric angular unit.

The latest one for me is Ableton Live. It is just a beautiful piece of software. Everything feels smooth, immediate, expressive. It gets out of my way whenever it can but is right there at my fingertips when I want it to be. It's just a lovely, lovely program.
This is a blatant attempt by Apple to extra their 30% rent on business that happens outside of their App Store. It's shocking that one of the wealthiest companies in the world acts this way towards small developers and companies.
It would be interesting to know how accurate that estimation is. It would also be interesting to know how many people deeply and unambiguously realize that such studies are speculative estimates (as opposed to facts), and why that is the case.

It is metaphysical-type questions like this that seem to get very little formal attention and funding. I would like to see humanity devote more effort to this type of initiative, and less towards optimizing advertising, making phones thinner, games more addicting, developing technology to send the ultra-wealthy into space, etc.

Is it any different than the apps that don't detect 100% of the jumping jacks you do? What about the native Watch OS feature that doesn't, based on my personal observations, track the correct amount of time you're washing your hands for? Or the fact that the step counter isn't 100% spot on?

The sensors will never be 100% accurate for anything, and my app was never portrayed as a way to prevent you from touching your face. If it worked 50% of the time and helped you notice when you touched your face and helped build that awareness, then it fulfilled it's goal.

You should see how terrible the French classes we had here in Ontario public schools. It was an additional recess for kids in the 3 different schools I went to, for all 8 mandatory years.

The french teachers were a rotating course of young women doing the class no one other teacher wanted, suffering the worst abuse from kids.

French classes should be killed off in Canadian anglo provinces IMO. I highly doubt they have any measurable positive outcome besides teaching kids to count in french (actual competent French speaking rates are really low here despite being legally bilingual). We waste so much tax money in Canada on purely-performative bi-lingual exercises outside of Quebec and some east-coast areas.

If people really want to learn a language you really need to dedicate yourself and/or be around others native speakers at a young age.
