Freezing is lowering the temperature below zero Celsius. In anything made of water, the procedure creates ice crystals that poke the cell membrane, making a lot of microscopic holes than quickly leach the inner contents of the organism by differences in osmotic pressure. This kills the cell by "bleeding to death".

As bacterias are cells with membranes in principle they are killed when frozen, so far, so good...

... but this is just the general case. Not all bacterias have being created equal and there are thousands of species.

Some are extremophiles and store sugar or other substances that act as an antifreeze, so can decrease the temperature of freezing and remain "liquid" under zero point. They can stand much lower temperatures before being killed (by freezing). Is just that they are killed at -25C instead -5C, but the killer is still a tiny ice dagger.

And some bacteria have evolved an outer protective gelatinous capsule, made partially with "sugar", that is not easy to pierce, so they can alter their osmotic pressure and stand more osmotic stress.

And finally, some will just die, but not before creating a inner spore devoid of water that can stand the cold or dry until rehydrated. No water, no ice.
It's a pretty good article but It's odd that auth wasn't mentioned in the article. If chatty clients are a concern then I would expect that token-based auth to be bundled with the problem.

Would that also be true if you are an independent developer? Why should individual developers releasing apps not get full customer protections?

Treating all developers as businesses is part of the problem here I think. There should be more bespoke apps by individuals for small audiences — more of a community feel to things.
Here is the worth reading response by Allen Wirfs-Brock who "was there pretty much at the beginning": http://www.wirfs-brock.com/allen/posts/914
Reminds me of Brasilia.
more advantageous to the numerically inferior who know the lay of the land, because it's much easier to conduct urban guerilla warfare in such instances.

Armies during this period were all still about marching in formation, which doesn't work well in confined spaces where you can't really keep a formation.
Not directly related, but the US Interstate Highway system was at least partially designed with military concerns in mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Highway_System#Hist... . I'm reminded of it every time I see military vehicles on the highway.

Obviously not the same thing that you're talking about here - but just interesting to me, and vaguely related!
Yep, agreed. If decisions can be made by a human often they'll stick to that, often arguing there is no need for data.

In my former space (credit card fraud detection and underwriting), you obviously need a data driven solution. Without even considering latency requirements, you aren't do 6-10B manual decisions/year. The rationale for a more complex ML approach is easier to prove the ROI for, given the need is already there, just with an inferior technical solution.
I have tried it by accident.

Stuff makes me wonder ... what does it take to be an apple app reviewer? Could I do a better job?
He already has a Nokia feature phone.

The problem is that a feature phone has more features than he needs, and sometimes requires navigation to perform a task.

Also, some of the physical controls are rockers, which he doesn't seem to grasp.

If I could at least limit him to a phone app (with no easy way to get to the home screen) with discrete buttons for almost everything and almost no navigation, I think he'd be able to get by better than he does now.

I'm shocked they have permissions that are that granular. I can understand "network access" in general, but having to ask specifically for UDP?

Why not?

An app might be crossplatform and the screenshot might be featuring these capabilities with Android or Windows.
Personally I think [] is genius. I don’t use typing in Python, but when I saw it done there I was delighted. If my_array[idx], why not list[int]? Not to mention the ease with which it can be implemented, overridden, etc

They verify that the app preforms what it is supposed to be doing and doesn't negatively impact the device.

A code scanner will be run that examines the system calls and makes sure that it isn't using internal/undocumented APIs that may cause the app to fail when the operating system is updated.

And yes, this is done for every app and every update. Free and paid. Yes, it requires a crazy amount of manpower.

This is also something that introduces a human component to the review process - it is possible to get someone who misinterprets how the app is working or how a particular rule is applied to the review of the app and human mistakes can be made.
They're all what you call isomorphic to eachother, which means roughly any adequate mathematical model of one can mapped to any other.
I develop on iOS as a hobby not for business. But I don't know how common that is.
If anything, I could actually see them wanting to release this earlier, and the whole Epic stuff delaying this release because it would've looked a lot worse if it had come up a lot closer to the incident. But either way, the release may have moved forward or back a little, but the intention was definitely there before the Epic incident.

No problems. There are enough dimensions involved in what makes a language good that Im pretty sure I could rationalize why any language is better than another, measured along only one of them.

Robustness. Speed. Simplicity. Easiness. Conciseness. Writability. Readability.

Hard to tell which are independent vs correlated, let alone how they factor into productivity. And productivity is also a function of the kind of problem you work on.
I’m guessing the way this is going to work in practice is an update would be allowed if it contains a violation but the violating behavior is substantially the same as the existing version but had not previously been flagged.

New violating behaviors and existing violations behaviors that had previously been flagged would prevent the update from being approved.
Faster than light in a medium. The last part matters. There is currently no reason to doubt relativity.
>Second, for apps that are already on the App Store, bug fixes will no longer be delayed over guideline violations except for those related to legal issues. Developers will instead be able to address the issue in their next submission.

This is good news. We've had instances in the past where a critical bug fix was delayed because of a completely unrelated and minor issue with the update (for example: issues with the store listing content that was approved in previous updates but now rejected).

This was a bad experience for everyone involved. Obviously for developers, but I'm still not sure how much Apple cares about that. But more importantly for users, who may be stuck with a broken or unsafe app for another day or more for relatively trivial reasons.

I think this change is made in good faith by Apple. Of course there are always bad actors who may try to game it, but overall it should improve the process for developers and users.
Suburbs had been expanding quickly prior to this, but city centers actually start truly declining around the '60s and '70s after Brown vs. Board of Ed resulted in unpopular busing programs to desegregate schools, as well as the riots that proceeded MLK's death.

You're welcome.
I overall love this one, and occasionally send it to people. Though state propaganda is something to be very careful with-- for the reasons this example discusses.
Well, this actually makes sense, because you can't use the app you download on the App Store on a Microsoft Surface. Maybe that's obvious to you and I, but the App Store is used by hundreds of millions of people of varying levels of technical knowledge...

The worrying position would be if Apple demanded special features for the iOS version of the app, or if they asked you to get rid of the Microsoft version altogether. If we got to a point where stories/rumors like that started to emerge, that's when everyone would be in trouble.
Novel R&D is more expensive than incremental catch-up R&D; you can catch up by spending less money since by definition you at least know where you're going.

When you take into account that China's GDP is 70% of the US but has a PPP factor of about 1.6 (i.e. the same amount of US dollars goes 60% further in China than it would notionally in America) they're actually spending what amounts 2.6% of the US GDP in PPP dollars.
This needs to be normalized to “job posting collapse in the past 6 months” unless you expect DL jobs to grow while everything shrinks? I’m somewhat surprised by the analysis from someone’s who’s “data driven.” I mean, he even says so as much in the twitter thread:

“To be clear, I think this is an economic recession indicator, not the start of a new AI winter.”

So, looks like he discovered an economic recession.
Don't say it too loudly, you'll get called transphobic.
Thanks for the response. After reading it I think I may be less clear than in my initial reply now.

Question: Can a sentence be provably true in one arithmetic system but not another?

If so that means there are provably true sentences which exist, but not provably true with the axioms that I have at my disposal right now?
That's not how any of this works. Majority share is a lot of power, but the theory of how monopolies work doesn't support the idea that anyone with a majority of the market has monopoly power.

I'm curious to see too, because my instinct is that accidental frictions are actually a very large chunk of the problems people have. At the scale that Apple works, even a 0.1% of updates being wrongly flagged probably meant dozens per day, and it's really annoying for a dev to have to deal with the inconsistency of randomly getting flagged for something that was fine a week ago.
It is not a monopoly, sure, but it is an abuse of market power. Apple and Google form an oligopoly and both firms abuse their market power as part of it.

A firm being a "monopoly" is not a requirement under US antitrust law. A concentration of market power is, and Apple + Google absolutely have it.
I understand what you're saying, but something I have noticed over the years is that the amount of code that I can make sense of at any given time is actually proportional to what I can see onscreen at any given moment.

I have had pretty good luck cheating this in a bunch of ways: I use a small font, a big display, and I use a terse programming style.

Once you internalize a bunch of common higher-order functions, you learn how to draw a ton of meaning out of a relatively small number of terms.

Any development which the British did was purely to serve their own purposes and improve the efficiency and speed of their looting the country. Why should we be grateful for that? The opportunity cost there for the Indian subcontinent (if not India as a nation) was massive, and the British took it from us.

I’m proud to say I’m not ambivalent about it in the least.

In terms of market share, I'd say it's akin to a regional monopoly. But that's not entirely what I meant.

In my view, phones are general purpose computers. Apple also takes this view, which is the reason they have opened up a software marketplace on their devices.

Just like with Amazon, there are thousands of companies whose revenue depends almost exclusively on their ability to compete in the marketplace set up by Apple. In this scenario, both Apple and Amazon are notorious for abusing their control of the marketplace to disadvantage third-party sellers in favor of first-party products / hardware / software.

If a phone is NOT a general purpose computer, then Apple should disband the app store and only allow first-party apps to run. If a phone IS a general purpose computer, then Apple has an obligation to treat participants in the marketplace fairly, either by relaxing the app review process, or by allowing third-party marketplaces. They cannot have it both ways.

Legally speaking, Apple may not need to change anything. However, I'm talking about how things SHOULD be, not how they ARE.
If I was doing this I would start with remotely "piloting" (sending instructions to) them and having the remote pilot communicate with ATC via the traditional radio channel.
No, that's what the $99 a year pays for. You can create and upload a free app to the App Store and Apple gets nothing.
> An api that was written to simply process a list of Orders into a Report might be abstracted into a fold on some monad, which at first seems a great idea. But if you're not careful, readability suffers a lot. It's much easier to get to know an application when its code deals with business objects that you already understand well, than to read hundreds of lines of code that deal only with abstractions.

Do you have a code example? It would be interesting to see what this kind of code looks like.

Personally, I find complaining about a ”fold over a monad” to be equivalent to complaining about an ”integer indexed loop over an array”. It’s a pretty straightforward implementation detail that have very little to do with your business logic.

And business logic is far, far easier to model using ADTs (it’s literally just AND and OR, applied to data structures) than confounding object inheritance hierarchies.

In fact, I’ve seen a lot more unnecessarily abstracted garbage (usually “design pattern” workarounds to limitations in the object model) in just about every oop based web framework I’ve worked with.
The issue of notability of different categories of articles will always be a point of contention for online encyclopaedias. That you argue so passionately for the reduction of one category of content (fictional Harry Potter characters), but the increase in another (music bands) shows that, I believe.

For me, these notability rules for music make sense: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music)#C...

As music evolves away from big album releases at major record labels, these rules will probably evolve with them. But even now, these 'music bands known to pretty much everyone listening to some "not too mainstream" genre' can be notable if there are non-trivial articles about them in the media, even if they have no traditional album releases and haven't won any awards.

You didn't really argue about the point of original research. The arguments here also make sense to me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_original_research

In any case, I think hate towards Wikipedia moderators is misdirected (I'm not a moderator, haven't even contributed anything but typo fixes).
It's a pretty amazing coincidence how it just so happens that English is (one of) the most convenient languages to encode into bytes.
Problem is if you're stuck on gems that aren't maintained any more. Seen a few with PRs containing fixes going stale. Can still switch to a fork, at least.
If it's ever revealed that app reviewers have rejection quotas or some other bullshit internal metric that is driving this I would be the least surprised
Your link only shows a simple cloverleaf design, typically used at the intersection of only two highways or as an exit from a highway. Those are everywhere in U.S. cities, in certain regions as not everyone uses the cloverleaf. They are not super common in Texas though, which uses different designs. But either way, it is not close to the same size and complexity as the exchange, of which Houston has many, in the original post.
That would be quite a feat without updating the quality of the voice transmissions. When you listen to some recordings of ATC, it becomes clear pretty quickly that context clues is paramount to being able to communicate with ATC. Some of the transmissions are so difficult to hear it amazes me that humans can even communicate through it.

Perhaps a lot of that is cabin noise, and without it, the transmissions would become a lot clearer.
For general note taking I use OneNote, but sometimes if a work idea comes to me after work hours I find it is better to email my work address with the idea than most of the alternatives. It better separates the "spaces" in that sending that email means it is no longer my problem that night or that weekend. I don't keep work apps on my personal devices, and it's much better than booting up a work device to add it to a note taking app or a TODO list (or Kanban board or whatever), as it keeps me from falling into other work or checking work email in time that should be away from work.
Yeah, core rails the only warning I've seen is a single one in sprockets-rails (brand new app from last week).
I blame the modern web for this.

Google a question you have, especially something with mass appeal, (health, fitness, media, culture, travel, etc.) and click any of the top links.

It will load slowly, 1000s of tracking scripts, there will be popups, scrolling might break, you will be redirected, more popups, half the screen covered by an ad, the site breaks, etc...

The marketshare definition of a monopoly is poor and obsolete. How much control they have over your devices and your life is much more descriptive, and in that case Apple has significant power with control over roughly half of the mobile ecosystem.
Hmm...I have huge delays in reviewing my app to TestFlight from yesterday (previously it was maximum half day). Maybe that's the reason?
Not so much required for UDP specifically, but for being able to open a socket and receive packets.
Also his analysis is shoddy. He shows an absolute decrease in DL job postings since covid hit, and claims that DL is in decline irrespective if other fields like SWE are also in a similar decline. Utterly surprised by the analysis given the data.
> Use subtyping in Julia and enums in Rust. One caveat though: Enums can not be extended from the “outside”. If you plan to let users of your library add new type variants, you will have to use some kind of trait approach.

This extensibility from the outside is the most important idea behind Julia!

For example this is why a generic deep learning library doesn't need any extra implementation details to be able to run on GPU as well. https://fluxml.ai/Flux.jl/stable/gpu/
It's interesting to observe the difference between Apple's great treatment of consumers and their actions towards businesses that they interact with, as the App Store is fundamentally a b2b experience. It really highlights the difference between consumer and enterprise DNA.
Sorbet looks really cool, too bad they developed their own typing system that keeps types in a totally separate file instead of adopting it.
Plywood in the US is sold in feet. Europeans cut plywood into metric based sheets. Ever try to buy Baltic Birch for wood working? It's actually a different shape than a US sheet of plywood.
Oh yes, I totally agree and this is one of the reasons I think that Apple has abused their iOS AppStore monopoly. Only players with similar clout have the ability to fight back.
1. I don't remember paying $99 to have my comments published on HN.

2. A take down of "guideline" breaking comments doesn't impact my income as an app developer.
I’m not sure why you’re getting downvoted. This isn’t a misdirection, it’s a euphemism. We use them a lot in the English language, especially in marketing.

Whether that’s a good or bad thing is a separate question. IMO policing tone is a mostly uninteresting exercise.
It's a per se antitrust violation, which does not actually require monopoly status.

You misunderstand, they were selling a PHYSICAL Microsoft device in their e-commerce store that sells physical items. Nonetheless, showing a product you can buy in the app that is not Apple branded was not allowed.
I don't really follow the author's reasoning. How is the flaw of Zeno's Paradox the same as thinking a physical brain can produce conciousness? Maybe I just need to read it again.

Good news is that we won't always have to rely on philosophy for this. Some time in the future we'll just test if matter can produce conciousness by creating artificial intelligence. If we find we can't do that, perhaps we'll look back on this essay as ahead of it's time.
