> If you're married and want to be taxed as a couple, you simply send the documentation as such to the tax office after your wedding.

So that's one difference. I have never sent the IRS proof of our marriage, and they have never requested it. I simply updated my wife's name and our filing status in the year we got married.

I'm confused by this. Are tax brackets always individual in Ireland? The reason I need to specify additional withholding is because each of our income withholding calculations starts from the lowest bracket and tops out at a bracket below our actual top marginal rate, which is determined by adding our incomes.
What are you using for the GUI layer, and what's your stance on accessibility? The fact it's Windows only gives me hope.
What!? is that documented, shown somewhere? Any source you can provide that speaks about it?
I don't think is a recent phenomenon though. Good luck distinguishing by voice alone the boy bands of the 90s, or the hair bands of the 80s, or the disco bands of the 70s, or the British invasion bands of the 60s either. And going back much further, can you really say you can distinguish the operatic and choral singers from each other either? I think it's always been the case that music has a particular sound that's in, and everyone is singing to that sound. There was no one singing in the grunge or mumble rap style a hundred years ago. It would have been unique and would've easily separated itself from the pack, but it simply wasn't even a thing that anyone was doing yet.

Yes exactly. Perhaps I did not write my comment well enough.
Its debatable whether he actually became a non-violent pacifist out of remorse or whether most of the empire building was complete and he no longer had aspirations for more territory. Kalinga was important for its ports that Maurya empire needed more of.

I tried the same thing 6 months ago.
Pretty much the same, I can re-wire a house (factory actually though it's been a long time since I trained as an industrial sparks), plaster, do basic joinery, plumbing, tiling, engine/motorcycle maintenance (I do my motorcycle and rebuilt scramblers when I was a kid), weld (not done it for a long time but it'd come back), sheet metal work etc all to a reasonable or better standard.

I've never lived out in the country, always in or on the edges of towns, 80% of anything is been willing to give it a go, the other 20% is been willing to learn from fucking it up the first time.

I genuinely don't understand people who aren't willing to learn this stuff even if they pay someone else to do it down the line (which makes sense sometimes).

I know people my age who can't rewire a plug which is frankly embarrassing.

The Developer's Guide to SoC 2 Compliance
This article makes the dumbest assertions I've heard about quality software development in quite a while.

The "study" isn't really a study. Even so, the metrics that it claims to derive aren't there for the picking.

Then throwing in big names like Bill Gates to say "look Bill Gates said it too" is just name dropping.

Also this looks like something someone would write in 3 minutes between meetings and never actually proof read. The quality of the writing is really quite low.
Switched from Android to iOS 2 years ago. I'll try to keep this limited to where iOS features is specifically ahead of Android.

Password API works with third-party password managers. Not perfect, but LastPass works pretty well this way. Security Code autofill is also great for 2FA SMS things.

Device performance/reliability, mostly related to launching the camera, although this probably applies all-round. There's nothing worse than trying to take pictures for a group and your camera app just... won't work.

Feature polish (although limited). There are a lot of features that I wish existed, and features that I wish I had more control over, but the overall polish on a feature's functionality and feel is great.

Airdrop. Supposedly Android has a good competitor coming?

Share Wi-Fi password with contacts.

Sign in with Apple + Auto-hide your email.

:( Shortcuts. This is great, except writing them sucks for anyone even slightly code-proficient. Next to impossible to set up on phones. But again, polished but limited vs Android.

Facetime. I really wish Duo was better integrated into Android and marketed.

I'm sure I'm missing some, and I'm purposely not listing the things I miss from Android. There are other Apple-specific reasons that I've decided to stick with iOS for the time being that are also good to consider.

>> there has been no previous contact with the company

Every law student is given that speech. There used to be a specific scam targeting new lawyers. When a new law office was setup it would be sent books and lawyer-related equipment, along with a bill for payment. The scammers hoped the bill would just be paid without further inquiry. So law students are now warned and told that they can keep such "gifts".

But that isn't how the real world works. Who here doesn't have any previous contact with amazon? What if the package contains something very illegal (drugs etc) and the police are watching it? That will be a fun afternoon. Or what if your new address, previously perhaps a vacant house, is being used by someone buying illegal stuff? Yesterday he would pick it up from the door of an empty house. Today the package is inside the house. Unrequested deliveries should not be treated lightly.
This topic comes up a lot here. How about just 3 days ago [1]? It's so strange, on one hand, we act like software developers are in high demand, and can be choosy about their work, and on the other hand, act like they have no agency over their work and are limited to just saying "yes, boss, whatever you say, boss" to bad software design.

At the end of the day, it's the developer who types in the code and pushes. Developers should share the blame for what they create. It's not just those mean horrible managers forcing us all to write bad UX. It's your choice as a developer to type git commit.

I don't think this opinion comes out of privilege. It you have no subject matter control over your work, you're not a developer--you're a typist.

Assuming that you're right about the browser avoiding invalidating windows rects unnecessarily, that still leaves the fundamental problem that DOM elements are not widgets in the way that (say) GtkListView and GtkTextView are. In a desktop GUI toolkit, you can alter one of those entirely independently of the other (and because of the typically non-overlapping assumption of most widget-centric toolkits, only resizing will ever create a dependency between them for the parent window).

More technically: if you change the content of a desktop text view widget, then there is more or less a straightforward and simple code path from the widget invalidating its own rect to the native window/graphics system causing a re-render of just that rect. The toolkit really has almost no work to do to make this happen, and neither does the native window/graphics system.

But in the browser model, the DOM is an abstract model that may or may not map easily onto window rects. So to decide what will be invalidated in the (native) window, the browser has to essentially recompute the entire window and then decide what to invalidate at the native window/graphics level.

Are you sure about layer compositing on GPUs within the browser? My guess is that this is done mostly by the (desktop/native) toolkit used by the browser and is an optional optimization, since the browsers will function normally without a GPU.

At some level though, I think you're right and that the video is wrong in some deep way: the way I was first told about React made it sound precisely like "it is designed to work more like a desktop toolkit", and given this, the video misses one of the more fundamental reasons for contemporary web frameworks.
Apple usually isn't the first one to get a tech demonstrator out or the first to integrate the latest and greatest CPUs / panels / etc, but they are often the first to get a new feature in front of a large number of consumers with viable polish as a default option. This kind of news often fails to propagate out of the apple bubble.

Random example: filesystem journaling so that you don't have to wait minutes to hours for fsck every time your computer hard resets. It showed up in Windows first -- but only in Windows Server. It was very intentionally excluded from consumer Windows. Then it showed up in Mac OS X. For a decade, hard restarts were painful on Windows and smooth on Mac. Finally, in Windows 8, just in time for SSDs to make it moot, it showed up in consumer Windows.

This story repeats over and over. Cameras and video chat out-of-the-box, backlit keyboards, desktop search, retained and GPU composited GUIs, Webkit, and so on. Apple wasn't first, but they were the first to do it well and get it in front of lots of people. People complain about apple users being sheep inside a bubble, but it goes both ways.

I'd answer your question more specifically, but I'm currently on the wrong side of the bubble in Android land. When I buy my next phone, I'll do my research, which will include swinging by an apple store to experience qualitative things like stylus/AR latency first-hand. You should too :)
It's possible I am confused, yes. But I'm just going by what is in all the documentation and tutorials I have encountered.

It may have been solved in a lab somewhere, but the solution hasn't made it out into code usable by mere mortals, as far as I can tell. You may be applying a very special meaning of the words "nothing" and "dictate" it's just that it's very well hidden how to do this.

>> Since the COVID-19 pandemic is a public health crisis, services and information related to it are considered to be part of the healthcare industry.

How do you become a part of the healthcare industry? Does it have to be FDA approved?

Does Apple recognize healthcare apps from companies located in other countries (non US) or will those not be considered as "recognized institution, such as a governmental entity, hospital, insurance company, non-governmental organization, or university"?
Oh, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that the past 40 years have been the best out of 4000 years, the fact that 800+ million people have been lifted out of poverty, that dirty streets have been transformed to clean ones, that famines have disappeared and everybody has enough to eat, that violent crimes have nearly all disappeared and the streets are safe.

I don't say this because I've been fed propaganda, I say this because I saw it with my own eyes. When I grew up, nearly nobody travelled abroad. 15 years before I was born, people couldn't choose what to wear, what work to do, where to live. All of that has changed, and today hundreds of millions of Chinese travel abroad, and they nearly all return voluntarily. Some choose to emigrate, but that number declines every year because China gets nicer every year.

Before you accuse me of being brainwashed: the above is corroborated by Kishore Mahbubani, ex-Singapore diplomat, ex-UN Security Council head. Is he brainwashed too?

I'd say your opinion is just due to lack of perspective. There are more things that are important than the ability to express political dissent. Freedom from hunger, freedom from being robbed, freedom to get medical care without being bankrupted, freedom to travel. All of these aspects HAVE improved.

Of course there are still many problems. But you're judging China through a single dimension only. That's not fair.

> Android device over other companies that deliberately slow down hardware to force people to upgrade hardware.

I think there is a good faith way to interpret Apple's aging battery policy, of course, it would be a lot easier to interpret it that way if they handled repairs in a way that wasn't hostile to users.

BTW if you like your tablet a lot, that's cool; if you're just holding on to it because you don't want to get a new one, and you live in a big city, there's a good chance somebody is literally throwing away higher spec tablets within a couple km of you.
> Many of the people supplementing are doing it because they believe it will keep them healthy - and this does not appear to be the case.

I agree with much of your thinking - just not this particular conclusion.

1. As you mention, we know that low-to-moderate levels of vitamin D supplementation is safe.

2. We also know that a solid chunk of the population does not get enough sunlight / is vitamin D insufficient.

3. There are no large-scale trials yet for some items where vitamin D is suspected to have good effects. But there are a few nevertheless, which you share within the article itself - cancer, mortality, respiratory disease particularly stand out.

4. There are also a pile of smaller but promising, statistically significant, double-blinded, randomised controlled trials in a bunch of useful areas.

5. So this seems to be a Pascal's Wager type of situation, where supplementation is all upside and no downside, as long as people don't get crazy with it.

As you say it's not a panacea, and to cite an old comment, I am aware [1] that there are other benefits you get from sunlight. But even if it doesn't do as much as people think, I don't see why it is bad advice for most people to supplement vitamin D to keep themselves healthy!

It's a simple way to remove content so it, I assume, acts as a way for IA to claim carrier protections under USA's DMCA, and to limit damages in other jurisdictions.

What they do is certainly tortuous infringement in UK - and probably most jurisdictions AFAICT (based on Berne Treaty, say), but it's so easy to remove your domains from IA that courts will be loathe to award much in damages.

AIUI they block access but don't delete the info; Fair Use/archival laws in USA probably make that lawful.
I have been saying for years that the US will never be free of the duopoly without proportional representation. Proportional representation rather than winner take all is the reason that other countries can have many parties. If 10% of the district are Pirates and 5% are Tea Party, then the government should reflect that.

Only... it's not to the advantage of the duopoly to implement something like that, so... entrenched party structure will always be the single choice allowed

I'd liken this stretch of time to 2005-2006.

iPod was mature in that it had reached a small video capability but was maxing out what was possible in how you could interact with the product.

Back then Apple's products felt boring. Zune was about to debut and compete with them by offering a brown color!

6-7 years ago we didn't have Apple Watch yet. There was still a sense of "what's next?"

Today, touch based interfaces in iPhone and iPad are so broadly understood that product interactions are routine:

- TikTok uses no new interaction concepts, rising instead on content and content format.

- Fortnite uses the same user interactions that have been adopted by shooters rising instead on gameplay.

Despite progress on ARKit, using AR experience on iPhone / iPad feels as wrong as watching videos on iPod Video did in 2005.

The good news is that iPod Video in 2006 was not even remotely representative of the experience what Apple was developing with iPhone / iPod Touch.

I'm hopeful that Apple will debut something as groundbreaking as the interaction iPhone offers between people and the world around them.

But until we see a level up like that, its going to feel a little boring on iOS at least.

I like this quote by Steve Jobs, which I think is applicable here:

“Things happen fairly slowly, you know. They do. These waves of technology, you can see them way before they happen, and you just have to choose wisely which ones you’re going to surf. If you choose unwisely, then you can waste a lot of energy, but if you choose wisely it actually unfolds fairly slowly. It takes years.”

Outside mobile devices though, I think this is a very exciting time in open source and software technology. So if you're feeling board, it might be a good time to expand your horizons.
Why is "algorithmic" in the title of this post? The only mention of "algorithmic" or "algorithm" is in the two statements opposing this proposition. There is mention of a "validated risk assessment tool" as part of the process, but it is not the only factor.
