Yes, this is not something that directly benefits Apple. Without external intervention, I don't believe any system which opens up iOS at all will be introduced.

What I'm looking for is - given external intervention, what would be a workable compromise that:

* Frees developers enough that they can produce applications without the full weight of Apple's process - and its rather hazy and inconsistent application - being a constant frustration or absolute block.

* Allows Apple (and its customers) to continue to benefit from their App Store model and its safety guards, protecting their security and (most of their) revenue.

I'm sure some customers would attempt to deal with Apple support for non-App-Store apps, but my expectation is that this would be a minority case and there are plenty of ways for Apple to head this off.

I don't know that it's a 'downside' for Apple to verify that apps are safe. This is a mostly automated process and one that they don't need to build from scratch. It's a cost for them - without an associated App Store revenue, but I believe it's reasonable to ask Apple to contribute at least this much to allow more open development for their platform.
> not foreseen to be used in Germany

I don't understand what you mean by that.

Edited - ah, I think you mean they're not planning on using it?

However tangentially - Lithuania never used them and then a few years ago suddenly started using them for pretty much everything (i.e. bad weather at the beach) which is ridiculously annoying as phones have some special type of ringtone for that which makes them almost explode in your face every time they make that announcement.
Thanks for the link.

Its a good challenge to solve with the constraint that only printed paper is allowed. May be the question is what is stopping me from coding on paper in a less-constrained environment?

I am assuming you have created persona(s) for the inmates which explain their motivations, concerns, engagement options, assistance, response/feedback systems, etc.

With my limited knowledge, I tried to place various activities against coding. e.g. reading comics, solving crosswords and mazes, drawing art, solving math problems.
And then want to measure these again some criteria like: feedback (instant or late), engagement duration, motivation (short and long term), outlet for expression, and more.

My hope is that understanding above will help us find the right solution or method to convey this subject.
And so the language churn continues. This time for configuration. TOML is fine, I guess. It doesn't seem to offer much benefit over Yaml or JSON. In the absence of those it would be great. But in a world where Yaml and JSON exist it's yet another structured data format you have to learn.
WaveGrad: Estimating Gradients for Waveform Generation
In those studies I don't see any evidence and clear conclusions that the either the chimps or bees could count.

I see a lot of meandering about methodologies in the chimp paper and if you see the Concusions paragraph you can see how weak it is:

>"CONCLUSIONS: Studies of numerical competence in the chimpanzee continue to provide new insights into the range and capacity for quantitatively based information processing in this species. In general, the rebirth of studies of animal counting currently suggests that this area remains a rich and fruitful source of contributions to our understanding of animal cognition and behavior. And for a truly comparative perspective, it will be important for researchers to challenge their creativity, by continuing to devise new methods for tapping capacities toward counting in a variety of species, including nonhuman primates, rats, birds, and additional new species for whom no data currently exists"

The bee paper is more interesting but it also doesn't reach the conclusion that bees can count.
At least it offers a context for the framework used and the conclusions reached.

What they did is simulate a neural network that has the bees visual data as input and prove that a simple "inexpensive" computation can in theory scan quantity of perceived objects.

Well isn't that just the same as proving that a neural network algorithm can simulate an computer accumulator register?

> "Within this framework we have shown that counting and numerical ordering are computationally inexpensive, provided the animal employs an active, sequential scanning of pattern elements."
> I also agree that YouTube's recommendations are pretty good. For example, I like to watch Linux distro reviews which are fairly niche and usually only get a few hundred views but my YouTube homepage is filled with them

This is exactly its main weakness. Once it finds one or two things you like, you're hardly ever going to see anything diversity, and if you ever do, it won't be long before that thing completely fills your feed.

I have two Google accounts, and I switch between them for non-YouTube-related reasons. The one is currently all Periodic Videos all the time, the other is all History Matters all the time. It's not as if I lose all interest in chemistry if I switch accounts. If I have a few minutes to kill, I'll end up thinking "History Matters isn't exactly what I want to watch, but I don't want to spend ten minutes trying to find something else", so I watch it, and the algorithm pats itself on the back and cues up another one of the same.
R + the tidyverse (dplyr, ggplot2 etc.) is easily the most elegant data analysis combo I've used. However, I tend to use Python for this usecase nowadays, primarily to reduce friction when working with others where Python is the lingua franca. Also, RMarkdown is superior to Jupyter notebooks in my opinion.
We will test that with a tactile speaker, for multisensory effects.

Hmm, could also align the refresh rate of the screen -- make a comparison between say 25, 30, 40 and 50hz...

Otoh, I got plenty of support requests from people not understanding that the space at the end of a line in an .ini file is part of the value. (app is using glib ini parser)

> In this universe, where α ≈ 0.007297352569, you’re reading an article about the anthropic principle; in the universe where α ≈ 0.007297352569, at the very least, it’s reasonable to guess that you would not be. (Good news: in that universe, you’re a billionaire playboy philanthropist!)

Both values of α look identical to me, but the text implies that they're subtly different - is this a typo in the article, or am I missing something?
This is a fantastic weekly resource. Well written and so many awesome tools!
And investors have so many tricks to grab all the value on smaller buyouts. Convertible debt for instance, which is convertible from say a 10X payback to some large number of stock shares. If its a unicorn, they choose the stock direction (no skin off your back). If its a modest buyout they chose to convert, taking say $10M for every $1M they invested, which can be 'all of it' and you get precisely nothing for your shares as an employee.

Founders can have a different stock category, so they get something, otherwise they'd not agree to the buyout.

So often, as an employee, you are given what are essentially 'sucker shares' that will likely never amount to anything. By design.
I just checked out that DAW and I’m curious as a newbie — why are skeuomorphic “dials” considered good UX? They seem like the worst idea ever and yet I see them all over the DAW/synth landscape.

> Not supporting Monsanto's business model isn't the same thing as not 'listen[ing] to scientists'.

Monsanto is dead. Its assets were sold off to other players in the industry.

Further, the patents that brought disdain to the Monsanto of the past expired years ago. The business model that centred around those specific patents has not been a business model for quite some time. Even before those patents expired, it was not their business model anymore as the technology moved forward and those patents were no longer all that relevant.

> it is also a driving force in the expansion of monoculture techniques rather than more sustainable polycultures.

Yet, when I travel through the rural parts of the world, I see endless rows of rusted out row crop equipment that are older than the invention of Glyphosate itself. I am not convinced your timeline really fits.

> Monocultural key foodcrops are a long-tail risk to food security. The Irish potato famine

Another good example. The famine took place 129 years before Glyphosate was sold for agriculture use. Not to mention that it took another 22 years after that before the first roundup resistant crop made it to market.
The pattern here, if not the content, reminds me of "I do, we do, you do".
To nit a nit: Very broadly, there are five categories of legal systems. Common (as is in most of the US), Civil, Customary, Muslim, and Jewish. Every nation is a unique blend of them, of course.

The wiki article is actually a good dive into how people govern themselves, and the map is really cool too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_legal_systems
Yeah, there are weird currents of "we had to learn that properly, so everyone else should". Totally ignoring that the nuance just doesn't always matter, and not everybody doing things wants to get into it deep enough for it to matter, and tools enabling them to do so are not automatically bad.

(Software has the same issue in similar cases)
It's not like TOML is new. I'm familiar with it because of Python's pip tool, and InfluxDB/Telegraf. Apparently it's also used in Rust's Cargo.
Yes, I was 16 as well in 1986 and was also interested in technology, especially when it was called 3615 ULLA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fmsF6PDXwc, probably NSFW because it is horribly politically incorrect today, like most of what we had in the 80's)

Typically users don't want to give you email unless you prove them it's worth it. So instead of making email mandatory for registration, you can now try showing articles around improving there game skills or ask them if they want reminders. Let them opt in on emails. This is called permission marketing. Seth godin has a while book around it.
Probably a reason. Also a lot of middle/upper class people were leaving cities in the US.

Bike messenger services also were a big thing in cities a few decades ago. Email (and probably general acceptance of electronic scans) replaced a lot of shuffling around of paper documents. I was sort of amused a month or so back, when I had to do some financial transfers, a lot of the paperwork that would have formerly involved going into an office and getting notarized stamps could now happen with a combination of a phone call, mailed paperwork, and phone verification.

The competition is in the marketplace. I'm not sure what value there is in having an Epic store, an Apple store, a Google store, a Netflix store, a Microsoft Store...

Having choice isn't always better. I think the Apple iOS store is a very clear example where choice leads to negative experience for users. As I've mentioned before, Apple collectively bargains on behalf of users against developers. They enforce (albeit imperfectly) certain standards and force nefarious developers to implement things like sign in with Apple.

They only, and I mean only, affect of releasing developers from the App Store is that they'll sign on with some 3rd party store, and if you want to use Spotify, or Netflix, or Facebook you'll get it from a 3rd party store where they charge the exact same prices but then infest the applications with hostile anti-patterns, tracking, etc. That's it. When you advocate for "choice" here, you're simply advocating for the choice for users to pay the same prices they've been paying except also being exposed to anti-patterns that Apple is working to prevent. Choice in this case, is clearly bad.

I'll also add, I have yet to hear a peep from Epic w.r.t having to go through Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo for releasing Fortnite via their locked-in app stores. The iPhone is no more or less a computing device than those are.

Hum... I do not disagree exactly, but, there is simply no rush to fix landfill.

There's a rush to fix climate change, species extinctions and habitat losses, environment pollution and a huge number of problems.

Landfill can easily wait for a century or two. So why take focus from the hanging problems and place into it?
So AUR is the better choice? pkgsrc? At least you don't have to read tons of Docs.
Your timing is perfect.
I can echo this sentiment exactly. I started as a kid with a Yamaha PSR-500 with a built in multi-track sequencer. I wrote SO many songs on that thing. In my teenage years, I added a Boss DR550 Mk2 drum machine synced via MIDI and my song crafting went through the roof! Then I added a Korg M3R sound module and my productivity went down. I added a Yamaha DX7, Korg DW8000 and an Akai AX73 and I was barely doing anything other than noodling around. Even today with all the money I've spent on Arturia VSTs and an M-Audio controller.... a really beefed up computer just for recording. And I've written nothing. It's not for lack of creativity. It's just become such a pain to set everything up and get it going. By the time I've got sound in the headphones, I've just lost interest.
One of the most interesting language switches occurs in Hunt for Red October. It switches on the word “Armageddon” which is the same in both Russian and English.

"No scientific consensus" is often conspiracy-speak for "no proven harm".

If the critics never accept scientific evidence that there's no harm, they get to keep being critics. Just by using weasel words like that.
To be clear, my issues were mostly not with doom but with emacs plugins themselves.

Well Magit was clearly the slowest. Used in big repos with a big list of changes it grinded for minutes before showing the "status" screen e.g.

Also various code completion plugins via LSPs were significantly slower than even VSCode and of course vim. While typing I often encountered lag even on fast systems. Not sure if the lag actually came from the LSP plugin or from something like Flycheck ui.

TBH the one thing I "reimplemented" was the keyboard shortcut system which extensively relies on leader(s). In the beginning I just mirrored doom shortcuts but after a while I customized, more suitable to my own needs.

Not really related to emacs but the vim plugins I would not like to miss are especially: coc.nvim, fzf.vim, ranger, vim-fugitive, vim-mergetool, vim-bookmarks
Thank you. This is a great feedback. I need to tweak my framework for that. I'll definitely look at this.
I have a decent vinyl selection with a few classical pressings.

Honestly, I only really enjoy classical in ultra-hi-fi 5.1. Even better if there's a video of the orchestra. (Then again, I don't listen to classical very often.)

The thing with "classical" music is that, before the we had recorded music, when someone listened to classical they were at a live performance in a silent room, and they gave the music their full attention. The music can get loud and quiet, much more than "modern" music that we listen to while driving, while vacuuming, ect.

So, IMO, if you're doing classical with vinyl, look at the records as collector's items. But, IMO, if you're really trying to get into classical, get a nice TV and a nice surround sound system and buy (or borrow) great performances on bluray. Try to set it up in a very quiet space so you can hear music that gets quiet.

BTW: If you've ever noticed a "sparkle" to the sound at a live classical concert, you probably can hear slightly over 20khz. A good bluray recording (at 96khz) will have that "sparkle" that's just slightly above 20khz, but filtered out of CD.
Why would it be ?

If you want to make music and you are driven to do so you will use what you have to make what you like.

I think you're confusing survivor bias of 'some people did really well in the past despite crap equipment' with the actual definite lowering of the cost of entry for music production that has happened over the past 20 years.

Its vastly more accessible now for a great many people whereas in the past it was a privilege to have access to quality recording gear.

the second you think "I could make X if I had access to Y" you are already thinking about it wrong

I disagree, for the reasons given above.
Can't you point algolia at a static site and get decent search or have I misunderstood?
The cases in which B is educated doesn't really matter for the point I'm trying to make.

There are two relevant cases:

1. A is a non-impostor, B uneducated -> B has to trust A, but A's argument seems flawed because B doesn't know of the non-obvious feature that fixes the apparent obvious flaw in their argument.

2. A is an impostor, B uneducated -> B has to trust A, but A's argument seems flawed because their is an obvious flaw in their argument that even B can spot.

From the point of view of B, there is no way to distinguish between these two situations, and so their being uneducated doesn't help them spot the impostor.
> False. Loop unrolling is always faster.

Blatantly false, which is why heuristics decide when to unroll.

Large code trashes instruction caches, and cache misses are very expensive. More code, more misses.

For very small loops, the unroll can pay off, but these are often too small to have significant size detriment.
What I tell people that are railing against Roundup ready crops and other GM crops is this: say we decide to stop using these types of crops today--pick the millions of people that get to starve in the upcoming year. Just point to an Indian state or an African country and say 'those people get to starve' and we'll stop using GM crops.
Fefe has a post (in German) about that, and the first excuse was uttered by someone in a high position who despite his job title apparently knew nothing about what he was talking about, and that the paragraph with the excuse got changed, after "the censor returned from peeing":

Correction: The current official accessibility API for Windows is UI Automation. IAccessible2 (IA2) is an unofficial extension of the very old Microsoft Active Accessibility (MSAA) API. While IA2 has been crucial in making non-Microsoft browsers and other applications accessible, I wouldn't recommend that any new code implement it.

Disclosure: I'm a developer on the Windows accessibility team at Microsoft, working on UI Automation and Narrator among other things.

I sympathize with what you’re saying but I don’t think you should be advising people to write off a diplomatic career if they have kids. I like many other people had a very volatile childhood for no real reason. I don’t think I particularly minded the moving a lot and enjoyed making new friends in different places. It’s also worth noting that if your kids are anything like my friends who grew up in really stable suburbs they’re going to be peeling their eyes out in boredom and waiting for the first chance they get to take off and go as far away from that stable suburb as they can. All I’m saying is that every kid is different and what was bad for you may be great for another kid and what sounds amazing to you may feel like hell to someone else.
