"Update to media controls and smart home devices" - section.

Google's track record on home integration is laughably terrible and I'll bet this functionality comes to market duct-taped together and they'll break it as soon as it's convenient for them.

Last fall Google essentially bricked third party smart home integrations within their own NEST ecosystem by forcing a migration to rely on their terrible Google Assistant umbrella, removing IFTTT support, etc.(1)

As a result third party controller support broke, useful integrations like "flash my lights if there's a fire" broke, etc.

I appreciate Android's desire to own the UX and relegate all third parties to beyond their "bubbles" etc but it is scary to hand this level of control to Google if they disagree with your personal product choices.

Apple doubles down with Epic Games, seeks damages for breach of contract
> If that 486 hardware lasted 20 years already, seems like there's a pretty good chance it'll outlast most of the modern stuff it would be replaced with.

Unlikely. Good quality 'modern stuff' has far better quality than what was available back then. Power supplies have gotten much better (and have more protections), as did motherboards with solid state capacitors. Older motherboards loved their electrolytic capacitors.

Processors had less protections. Thermal monitoring was at its infancy.

Memory sticks back then were very unreliable. As were hard drives.

Then there's just a matter of age. If it has lasted 20 years, chances are it won't last much longer.

It has probably lasted 20 years because it wasn't being powered on and off constantly. It most likely had stable power sources and - most important - a climate controlled environment with low amounts of dust.
GNU/Linux has thousands of apps. They do not all fit the screen, but it's much easier to fix than create new ones. Purism created libhandy library for that.
I've had this issue before. I run a feed reader called Pine.blog and App Review has rejected me in the past for content in the feeds the test account was set up to follow. These feeds don't originate on my site or service.

I had to schedule a call with app review and almost needed to escalate the call. It seems like App Reviewers aren't familiar with these kinds of apps anymore. They're used to silos where the app developer could simply ban or reject the content. You need to explain to a human that you're not providing a silo. This is a reader app for another community's site.

No, but broad agreement about what people value and visible signs that people are willing to spend resources on that would.

Electric cars are sexy now and people will spend money on them.

If this conversation is about organisational/behavioral change, then Tesla did create inexpensive electric vehicles. The fact that those vehicles are being designed, manufactured, and sold by totally separate companies is an implementation detail -- An inescapable result of the fact that lower cost requires larger scale and greater expertise with larger scale.

Given that Republicans removing the filibuster for Supreme court nominations was preceded by Democrats removing the filibuster for lower court nominations and Cabinet appointees, we already have plenty of evidence of one side doing things for convenience that end up blowing up in their face later on.

The response to the slippery slope is not to keep on sliding.
I agree, but that's where AR can really shine. With glass, constantly having it in your face was the only option. With advanced AR, things could easily be pinned to the world to allow you far more control and greater context over what you see and when. I think it may prove to give us more control and freedom over these things, not less. On my phone, for instance, I have no choice but to watch something but also be bombarded with notification messages from all sorts of things I don't care about -- in an AR phone-like environment, you could more elegantly segregate these things, and ultimately potentially allow the user greater control over their consumption of content.
As a software engineer, I don't think the process you went through is of much use. Unless the US set up a firewall ala China you can still call your parents with the wechat already installed on your phone any time.

Also, you probably should buy your dad a computer.. I've never heard of anybody having trouble to install skype on a computer. Since Huawei was blocked from transaction with any US entity, I guess it make sense why Skype doesn't exist on Huawei store? Not by their choice if I have to guess.

"App Suggestions" doesn't mean ads for Apps that you don't have, it means suggestions to quick-launch apps you already have installed.

> I do kind of agree with Gruber, it kind of feels like the passion for Android has burned out at Google

This is just speculation... but maybe it's because they are getting ready to finally kill Android and switch to Fuchsia.

Android has been getting better over the last 4-5 years and the KitKat days are very far away, but it wouldn't surprise me if Google was ready to start fresh with everything they've learned.
Interesting progressive move. Bail system here seems to be used as a bargaining tool to get plea agreements and biases the system against those without resources.

What do you mean by “Suppliers of these services”? Are they going to outsource the risk assessment process? That’s disappointing... and I suspect will make for trouble. Why can’t we just do these things in house they’re a core function of the system. Then there’s no finger pointing about responsibility later. (Which is probably exactly why they would want to outsource it.)
There is an iPad 2 on the bench here that is used most days. It’s just fine. Whatever Apple has done to it seems to have helped it, particularly it’s battery life which is ok, but worse than when new.

Come on, really? Any cursory search of news, international wires, and related would clearly show numerous hostile statements and non-cooperation towards EU on numerous previously shared fronts. Not to mention Germany needing to constantly step up in what was previously the US's traditional role as advocate of liberty/justice on an internal stage (ex. recent Russian poisoning).

Exactly, every new release of android and iOS these days feels like one step forward, two steps back. It’s less excitement about new features and more dread about what use cases they’re going to break this time.
While increased control of the platform is one motivation, I don't think it's the main one.

Google's been forced to go in this direction by vendors who put out Android devices and never update them, even for the most serious issues. The only way to get security updates deployed is via Google Play.
From my conversations with app developers, and my own experience, this is incredibly common for aggregators. App Reviews are either really unfamiliar with the concept or they aren't trained to understand them and how they differ from silos.

What you are saying is true. But it is irrelevant in Belarus. See picture above representing a typical independent observer in Belarus.
Not advocating for either specifically, but some counter points:

- Android password api integrates with 3rd parties. Android SMS app does security code copy thought not native autofill (apps implement it themselves)

- AirDrop equivalent is nearby sharing: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-nearby-share-file-shar...
Those "slowed down" iOS devices are nowhere near as slow as your "sluggish" Android apps.
No, but they are the smallest form of government who doesn't rely on some other form of government for its existence.

States exist because the Constitution (and one or two other things) say they exist. The US government cannot pass a law abolishing Missouri, even if everyone really wants to. Missouri, however, can change its county structure, abolish cities, etc. Because the very existence of those forms of government depend on the existence of Missouri.

By design, the US is a federation of more-or-less sovereign States. "Laboratories of Democracy" and all that.

It doesn't really make sense to have proportional representation at any level smaller (or larger) than the individual state.

A particular implementation of printf used that technique. There probably weren't a whole lot of different implementations at the time, but it's not part of the C specification.

<varargs.h> was a pre-Standard header that provided a consistent interface for accessing variable arguments. It was superseded by <stdarg.h> in the 1989 ANSI C standard.

gcc in particular dropped support for <varargs.h> a number of years ago.
re: filesystem journaling: Unless you were one of those crazy people that used fat32 in spite of Microsoft's defaults, filesystem journaling has been the default in Windows mainstream consumer OSes since the release of Windows XP using NTFS, which was journalled since day 1.

Parent is talking about running an unsupported OS on their Android device.
Because too many vendors won't push security updates at all, or wait a very long time, or discontinue support after a year.
Distributed would basically mean that a good portion of the core logic of the system is executed across multiple entities. So it can be scaled by simply adding more nodes. This is a specific niche, and engineers gain experience in that specific area. Am i right?

> and I believe taxation is theft

Money, taxes, and the crime of theft are all creatures of the law. Taxes aren't theft because that would be a literal contradiction. Taxes are just part of the rules about how money operates.

I should also note that 1) the law isn't just what some individual or other feels is natural, 2) I'd imagine that primitive law that defines theft also defines obligations to the community (which are analogous to taxes).
Aye, I didn't say it was the sole reason and I agree.

Flagship devices with 18mths-24mths of support when Apple routinely does 5 years was damaging as well.

I typically buy mid/low-range android devices and AndroidOne has been great, I'm still getting monthly security updates on a must be 2 year old-ish Nokia 6.1 that is still a perfectly fine phone for my needs and it cost me 150 quid sim-unlocked.
How to Consume Information
Nice. Yes, it's 80 hours.
OpenEdge is their DB. It has 1 storage engine but 2 ways to get to it: SQL and 4GL. If you write SQL, OpenEdge is relational DB. If you write 4GL, OpenEdge isn't relational unless you write relationship on application layer. Yeah, it's interesting.

4GL (aka ABL or Advanced Business Language) is the language that works best with OpenEdge. You write 4GL code, compile and deploy it to a specialized Tomcat environment called PASOE (Progress Application Server for Open Edge). It's their container to run 4GL apps.

WebSpeed is their middleware to serve APIs using 4GL code. Companies stuck in the desktop world are using WebSpeed to refactor their code and expose business logic to other languages through WebSpeed API middleware.

They acquired Telerik some time back. Those controls are used by .NET web devs and desktop devs. They are cool controls. I like them. Telerik controls are also integrated with their 4GL desktop environment. Kendo UI are tools/controls for the web and are pretty neat as well. Fiddler is also their product now.

DataDirect is a suite of connectors to make it easy for devs to connect between different DBs from 4GL, and for other languages to use DataDirect to connect to OpenEdge or call 4GL methods.

Corticon is their version of Dell Boomi or Alooma or Prismatic.io. It's a tool to run business processes with no code or low code. It's neat if you have tech savvy business analysts who like to use tools like that.

Sitefinity is their version of WordPress/Drupal/content frameworks. Sitefinity has its place.

NativeClient is their product to build mobile-first application across various platforms. They whipped up a neat app at their conference and it really worked well. Yes, it may have been cowboy-coded a bit, but it worked as intended.

Now they acquired Chef. I am sure there was a demand for orchestration within their client-base. They are making improvements steadily. They have a strategy. They have a niche target market, primarily in LATAM and EU and less so in North America. They do not have a great version control, static analysis, dynamic analysis, orchestration tools. Companies like Intuit and Fiserv seems to have built their own ecosystem around 4GL tools, but many companies just have primitive means of development with 4GL, still. Progress is trying to stay current. Their customers are much slower at adopting to changes in engineering; perhaps what they have just works for them. Not sure.

Acquiring chef is a good move. I've worked with their products for 2-3 years. It wasn't fun. I don't like 4GL. I'd like if Progress made SQL a first class citizen and invite PHP/Python/Ruby/etc. communities to write code against OpenEdge. From a business standpoint, I feel they are trying their best to stay modern and relevant. They are acquiring products that are indeed making their ecosystem cohesive.

The same researcher can speak to a popular and expert audience. And that researcher should absolutely say things in the paper that they don't say in the popular outlet, and vice versa. They're different audiences with different needs and different background knowledge.

I could live with small ram or processor but not with 16 or even 32gb storage.
use scoped_threadpool::Pool;
use std::sync::Mutex;

const N: u32 = 3;

fn main() {
let mut pool = Pool::new(N);

let data_mutex = Mutex::new(vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4]);
let res_mutex = Mutex::new(0);

pool.scoped(|scoped| {
for _ in 0..N {
scoped.execute(|| {
let mut data = data_mutex.lock().unwrap();

let result = data.iter().fold(0, |acc, x| acc + x * 2);

data.push(result);

*res_mutex.lock().unwrap() += result;
});
}
});

println!("{:?}", res_mutex);
}

I kept the variable names similar to hopefully make it easy to see the transformation. Here, instead of using thread::spawn, we use a scoped threadpool. Effectively, rather than saying "take this closure and run it on a thread" like thread::spawn does, this uses "scoped.execute", which is like spawn, but ties the lifetime to the variable "scoped". This lets the compiler understand that all of these threads will be joined inside the given scope, and so it's able to grok the lifetimes. That variable is zero-sized and so will compile away to nothing.

(You still need the mutexes because multiple threads are writing to the same variables at the same time; imagine if we didn't push the result onto the vector; we could drop the mutex around it entirely, which would simplify things even further. See the example here, where because we are accessing disjoint parts of the vector, we can use no mutexes at all: https://crates.io/crates/scoped_threadpool
Other people are also commenting, but IME, completely disassociating “making the think from “making the thing so that it can be supported” is a recipe for trouble.

There’s not an easy fix though, as most of the time I see orgs just punt at some point and allow the dev shop to write off all their tech debt by reassigning responsibility to an ops team.

Surely it does make some sense, but think about the hardware suddenly breaking down and not finding what to replace it with. Even with spare parts it could be a pain as the old generation retires
Art is subjective. I never found Guernica aesthetically pleasing, so by your standards I could judge it as a bad painting with "some real good fluff backing it up".

Art is always about the message and the emotions it impresses on people, not raw technique. Or do you think that literature is the art of typesetting?

You're still talking about this smoking vagina, how many other pieces from this class do you mention in casual conversation? Clearly if it was meant to be a provoking piece, it worked to a certain extent.
Can I ask, why?
