Bad example. Codes mandate how things should be done, not by whom.
No game is David's Michelangelo in talent or effect.

When people say we need entertainment they are thinking in a sense of dessert like of course you deserve a dessert sometimes. But that is not how we got 67% obesity rates.

And now with companies aggressively stealing attention and average person spending 5 hours a day on entertainment while reading one book a year you do feel little guilty for creating one more app to steal you attention and sell you microtransactions.

but this pressure is a positive thing as now when we make games in free time or talk about games we focus on more artsy indie stuff. it is weird how quickly most of my friends dropping Call of Duty or Halo after decade of obsessing. this pressure will create more artistic games.
> Apple have a monopoly inside their own product” is an absurd line of questioning

Didn't MS get into trouble for the exact same reasons, they were using their monopoly in the OS market to force Netscape out of business.
$1750 for that?! Security researchers need to organize!

I have no idea what I’m talking about but my guess would be that the security economics of finding an RCE make it very valuable. The disclosure would be worth considerably more to Slack than this bounty. Something in the order of months’ worth of skilled labour, not hours.

I suppose the economics also mean Slack only have to outpay the bad guys, so this is really showing us poorly compensated black hat labor is?
You’ll be good - you’ve done the hard part :). Just reach out if you fall back into it!

Apple could make exceptions for open-source software. The end result is that Apple will remove software from the App Store if they catch wind that it is GPL, and end users effectively can't use free software on their devices.

You can use these phones as desktops with connected display and keyboard. You can in principle run any desktop software (they call it “convergence”). Of course you need that power.
There might not be a deep philosophical answer. Making games is fun, playing games is fun, that's all there is to it. If you can make money doing something you enjoy - why wouldn't you?

To try to go for a philosophical answer - why do we do anything? Cooking, writing, building shelter, sending spaceships to mars. I think generally, the purpose is to make human brains feel good. Ultimately, we all are going to die and nothing we do will have a lasting impact, but as long as we're here - we spend our time making ourselves and each other feel good. Games are one of the ways to make people feel good.

A more cynical answer - we make games for no good reason. Games feel good in the moment, but feel like a waste of time and energy afterwards, making a net negative impact on people's lives, like junk food or addiction. People play them against their best interests, because it feels good in the moment, and because people aren't rational creatures. People make games because making games is fun and makes them money.

One more answer - making games is art. Art is cool. Making games is an art that can be beautiful, interactive, engaging. It's a combination of multiple art forms (painting, sculpting, storytelling, music, etc). It's also way more fun than most kinds of art, people don't get addicted to paintings or books the way they get addicted to video games. I doubt that people got as much joy out of looking at Mona Lisa as they did out of playing Minecraft.

One more related thought - the real world is overrated. We have the power to make imaginary worlds that are far more engaging and satisfying than the one where we live. Better ones. So we make them.

These are different possible perspectives, pick yours. There can be a bunch more I'm not considering.
Just a slight correction - nobody knows what subs you subscribe to on Reddit, it all works by looking at you commenting in these "wrong" subs.

It does not matter what the content of the comment was, of course. What matters is the fact you left the bubble and interacted with a different one, you traitorous scum.

I'm not discounting the challenges, just the idea of some arbitrary "cutoff" where relationships (romantic or otherwise) are no longer possible. Certain things might become harder as you get older, but there's never a cutoff (and some things might actually become easier).

(I originally responded with a different message that I deleted, since it looks like you edited your message in such a way that my original reply wasn't super applicable anymore.)
This post is more or less all about them extending things they already do for lower resolutions to 4K.

And the graph you posted isn't quite showing what you're saying it is: these show the "4K" curves. When you're on a 1080-max device but have a strong connection, there are higher-bitrate 1080 streams available; they're just not on this chart because that's not what it's showing.

In other words, what the curves are showing is just that they're switching to higher resolutions at lower bitrates than before, when your device supports them. Really the way to read it would be drawing lines vertically: given a fixed bandwidth, the "optimized" encode is always giving higher quality and often higher resolution.
You call IBM using your support contract to bring spares or use the chance to replace with latest model (they are still updated)
Epic should make a Fortnite inspired Android phone and put their own store on it. Gamers buying such phones (even if the price of the phone was subsidized) would be later spending $$ on in-game purchases. Even if anything positive comes out of the Apple-Epic collision, in the long term, having their own platform would reap benefits for Epic.
> What other things in your life would you accept similar limitation?

I have a Playstation that only allows me to play games that comply with DRM, unless I root the Playstation (if that's even possible). I have a coffee machine, that only accepts cups from a specific manufacturer, because they own the patent. I own a car that only allows me to run maps supplied by the manufacturer and the updates are expensive.

I knew all of this when I bought this stuff. Complaining about the app store when you buy an iPhone is like complaining about the airplanes after you bought a house near an airport.
Indeed. Your comment reminds me of Hawaii where there is no daylight saving time. A lot of people (though certainly not all) worked 7am-3pm, and therefore got 3 hours of sunshine after work to go surfing or whatever.
Even if Epic doesn't "win" this, I just hope that this whole debacle results in an overall improvement of market practices in general down the road, including Google Play and console stores.

Ideally, the sooner people realize and escape from Apple's tyranny the better.
I have old spinny disks and it is a VERY, VERY simple and useful feedback for DB work to hear it fighting itself.

As an aside I get the feeling software is being written more and more to assume SSDs. Starting up visual studio from fresh on my machine will thrash the disk. Disk read is roughly (average) 2MB/sec throughout. Disk queue length will hit 10 several times. It takes 4 mins 50 secs (290 seconds) before the disk will calm down - I just timed it. Total mem for the process when all's finished - 204MB! That's all!

My feeling is the VS code is spawning many threads which are each fighting each other for the disk. It's really, really poor.
One click RCE, not zero. $1,750 still seems a little low by H1 standards, but probably not by an order of magnitude.

Cool to see how they used the html injection gadget.

Seems like slack messed up with the blog post but made a sincere attempt to make amends.

I've noticed slack is pretty good about allowing disclosure of H1 bugs. It's a really hard sell in a lot of companies, so I think they should be applauded for that.
I love the idea of using sound as a mechanism for debugging code. It works wonderfully in other areas. I used to run a complex atomic physics experiment in graduate school which involved a series of steps repeated over and over again, with slight changes in the sequence every time. Over time I got really attuned to the sound of the machine: the clicking of shutters, hissing of valves, a annoying 10kHz note that was generated by an amplifier driving AC currents, etc. and could easily tell by ear if something was off (which happened a lot!). I would also use sound to tune control loops by sending the error signal to a speaker or earphones and listen to the noise. It complemented a signal analyzer wonderfully.

Can gdb be configured to somehow “hum” a program by converting a series of operations into sound and we can hear our programs in action? No idea how to go about it though, and how to convert operations happening at the CPU clock rate into the audible regime, but seems like it’s worth exploring.

Many here have commented on the lamentable weaknesses of this development in terms of size constraints and so forth, and on possible medical applications, which could indeed be fascinating and useful for saving lives, but what about the much darker potential of technology like this developing heavily:

Basically, if we're worried about modern mass surveillance, try to imagine a situation in which nano-scale surveillance is possible of large numbers of people, with devices that attach to nearly anything, are virtually invisible and could potentially even have the capacity to record location, audio and video of anything they're applied to, including both targeted civilians and large areas in which you could never be sure whether or not some government/police controlled army of microscopic bots is watching, tracking and listening. Don't tell me that exactly that wouldn't occur to both corporations and governments as this develops further.
How exactly would such an exception look like? The GPL would require that the user can take the binary they downloaded and redistribute it. Or change and recompile it and then run the changed binary. That’s all fundamentally impossible with the iOS App Store.

The GPL is fundamentally at odds with a lot of things, for $reasons. For example, ruby could not be distributed with compiled-in OpenSSL support, until the developers adopted an OpenSSL linking exception.

The GPL or the developers of the GPL’ed software could make an exception for app stores. But the developers have deliberately chosen a license that is incompatible with certain uses, including all app stores - it’s not only the apple App Store that is affected, all consoles for example are affected, too.
Retro-propulsive landing of an orbital class booster has not been ever demonstrated.
Falcon 9 First Stage is the only booster that ever existed able to do it. The full-flow staged combustion rocket engine is also a new technology that will fly for the first time in Super Heavy Starship. Rocket science is literally a synonym with "difficult".

Here you have how SpaceX looked like in 2002: https://i.redd.it/00ikcxo2z0f01.jpg

My guess is that in 20 years people will be also saying how he took an existing technology and sold it to a mass audience.
They didn’t disclose for months, and when they did, they failed to credit the researcher who found the bug, and started their blog post by saying “This is a fancy way of saying we’ve dialed up the security of the app. It wasn’t unsafe before, but it’s double safe now.” That sucks.
Under cost? My understanding is that consoles cost MORE than an equivalent self-built PC, and that the expectation that sells them is the guarantee that the games will WORK. On an actual PC, there's no guarantee that any software works with your particular configuration. That is, consoles standardize system specs, and include a markup reflecting that.
>> You can't force someone to sell something they don't want to, especially because Apple is nowhere near a monopoly in games or gaming sales, they can just point at steam.

I think this depends on the basis of the rejection. If you can prove that they are not selling because of discrimination then you can force them. The question how can you prove it.

You knew perfectly well how applications are installed on that device before you bought it. If you disagree to that just go buy anyone of the other posh 1000$ devices on the market.

apple has never ever targeted that kind of gaming market. there are a lot of video games you cannot play without bootcamp on a mac.

i wouldn't be surprised if it turns out they have been trying to jettison the fornite group. it's just not consumers they want to have on their ecosystem.

An app that does that and is in another app store has no way of affecting users who choose to only use Apple's App Store. No one is forcing you to use another app store.

Installing aftermarket parts always voids warranty. Also, more and more manufacturers are creating sealed off engine bays to make working on them harder. It's just physically impossible to block someone to tinker with that type of hardware. If they could find a way, car manufacturers would love to block you from modifying your car.

Come to think of it, Teslas are pretty much impossible to modify, because they're more comparable to the iPhone, a fully integrated hardware and software stack. However, to continue on cars in general, I cannot load my own maps into my car navigation. I cannot load 3rd party maps into the navigation. If I want to upgrade the maps, I need to go to the dealership and pay them an ungodly amount to upgrade them for me.

Telling someone the truth cannot be a disparaging remark.
> That’s all fundamentally impossible with the iOS App Store.

There's absolutely no reason that Apple wouldn't be able to allow GPL apps legally on their app store. It's just a matter of Apple changing their own terms.

> The GPL could make an exception for app stores

No, it couldn't unless you have a time machine or the ability to get consent from the author every line of GPL code ever written to agree to relicense their code under these new terms.

Apple doesn't even need to make exceptions for the GPL, it could just relax its policy or allow users to install whatever software they want.
ARC is GC, and anyone who says otherwise is crazy.
Well, I'm also happy this doesn't happen! RAM is designed to be stable!

If you have the resources, have you considered getting a source of radiation and putting it by the RAM? In a plane for example, background radiation can be 30x or so. It might also reduce the time to see a flip...

Other considerations:

1. The act of checking the RAM (I believe) refreshes the memory cells.

2. I suspect the act of regularly changing the RAM bits to have an effect on the data stored. I think when the bit transitions from a 0 to 1 or vice versa, some inconvenient piece of solar radiation could bias it to a different state. That said, you would have to separate that from accidental row-hammer events.

3. You would think that higher temperature RAM was more likely to bit flip (the Scientific term is more wiggly electrons).

4. RAM clock speed. The higher it is, the less time it has to stabilize at the transistor level.

5. Memory cell size. The smaller it is, the more likely it will be affected.

There are probably tonnes of variables, but these are the ones I can think of for now.
Then this extension might be able to help you! You can visualize graphviz dot data that is stored in a rust string.

That was the story 10 years ago as well, yet I have never managed to find an open source program where the Intel compiler has produced faster code than gcc back then, too.

gcc has always produced faster code for at least 15 years. In fact, it is the Intel compiler which has caught up in the most recent version.
With all the discussion so far, it's kind of strange no-one has pointed out modern "CyberPunk" bands like GUNSHIP.

There are huge numbers of significant demographic differences between Japan and the US.

It's true that obesity is a factor in COVID death dates (as it is for most things) but there are plenty of places with lower levels of obesity with significantly higher death rates. Singapore and South Korea are better comparisons here and the death rate is significantly higher.

As for fish consumption - it's difficult to think of a reason why that would be significant for a respiritory disease like COVID. It wasn't for SARS.

Sure, and going to Mars has its own costs, like cancer risk or forgoing a trip to Disney Land, even if a ticket is free. The point is that to the extent people don't have to internalize the actual cost of the product or service, demand will be higher. And this difference is what's being referred to as induced demand in the context transportation policy.

None of this means that new infrastructure can't create a richer, more productive environment.[1] Obviously the real world is more complex. But the pathological phenomena of induced demand in especially clear and substantial for highway construction because of the process for choosing, designing, and budgeting projects. And to the extent the actual costs are born by the individuals voting for and using a new highway, the linkage is particularly weak and distant and so the costs don't moderate the demand as should normally happen in well-functioning markets. When you try to bring them closer, say through tolling, people become apoplectic; "That's what my taxes are paying for!", etc, ignorant of the point that costs don't moderate consumption very well unless the relationship is clear and obvious--usually the more immediate, the better.

[1] Though that's why the article criticizes reliance on modeling, because at the end of the day the choice is less about planning for an inevitable future than picking & choosing among potential futures, each with costs & benefits that are difficult to quantify independent of policy goals--equity, sustainability, mobility, etc.
