If I had to choose one of these companies to immediately vanish, I would 100% choose Epic. Epic Megagames of the 90s made some great games, but nowadays they’re just trying to invent ways to make more money.

Meanwhile Apple is actually innovating and producing useful things.

Also, there seems to be an odd concentrated anti-Apple effort going on right now. Basecamp was on it recently when they immediately didn’t get what they wanted, and I believe I’ve seen similar messages from other companies in the same vein. I wish I could get a refund my hey.com account, but too late I guess.

Basecamp, incidentally, seems to be another company that did great things in the past, but is now having trouble finding new innovations. Hey.com is a web-only email client that costs 100 bucks per year. This is hardly worth the posturing they’re putting out.

This is the entire point of the lawsuit and the debate.... That Apple's action were anti-competitive. You haven't actually given any reason as for why thats not true.

> where Apple continues to curate the AppStore on my behalf.

They will still be able to do that. They simple won't be allowed to make it extremely difficult for alternative app stores to be installed on the iPhone, if another user chooses to do so, if and when the lawsuit is resolved.

You will still be perfectly allowed to continue to not install any other app stores that you don't want installed on your phone.

> I hope Apple doesn’t need to remove the AppStore entirely

They won't. Instead, as long as it is simple and easy for competitors to install apps stores on the iPhone, then the anti-competitive arguments will go away.

> than the alternatives of allowing sideloading

If you don't want to install competing app stores, then don't install them. Its pretty simple. Your rights are not infringed on, if Apple is forced to allow people who are not you, to install competing app stores.

I like how you contrasted with an opposite term to clarify the meaning.

Looking up an antonym of holistic, I find:

> atomistic - Consisting of many separate, often disparate elements

..which evokes analysis, to break down into parts.

In contrast:

> holistic - Emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts. Concerned with wholes rather than analysis or separation into parts.

..which is about synthesis, to bring parts together into a whole.

">Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP) is a computer science textbook by Massachusetts Institute of Technology professors Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman. It is known as the Wizard Book in hacker culture.[1][2] It teaches fundamental principles of computer programming, including recursion, abstraction, modularity, and programming language design and implementation.

The MIT Press published the first edition in 1985, and the second edition in 1996. It was formerly used as the textbook for MIT's introductory course in electrical engineering and computer science. SICP focuses on discovering general patterns for solving specific problems, and building software systems that make use of those patterns.[3]

The book describes computer science concepts using Scheme, a dialect of Lisp. It also uses a virtual register machine and assembler to implement Lisp interpreters and compilers.

Characters

Several fictional characters appear in the book:

Alyssa P. Hacker, a Lisp hacker

Ben Bitdiddle, a hardware expert

Cy D. Fect, a "reformed C programmer"

Eva Lu Ator, an evaluator

Lem E. Tweakit, an irate user

Louis Reasoner, a loose reasoner

Coursework

The book was used as the textbook for MIT's former introductory programming course, 6.001.[5] That course was replaced by 6.0001,[6] which uses Python.[7] Other schools also made use of the book as a course textbook.[8] It is used as the textbook for MIT's Large Scale Symbolic Systems class, 6.945.[9]

Reception

Byte recommended SICP "for professional programmers who are really interested in their profession". The magazine said that the book was not easy to read, but that it would expose experienced programmers to both old and new topics.[10]

Influence

SICP has been influential in computer science education, and several later books have been inspired by its style."

Hard to see how apps like this exist. The author seems to enjoy writing about his app as much as creating technology that exists already, and has for decades.

For $7/mo, you can have MS Office. You get a real Word Processor for all possible writing that happens in the real world where proper want to collaborate on business documents, or use Focus Mode for distraction-free creative writing. IA makes a big deal about their grammar checking but so what? Other word processors have had it for years and MS’s is genuinely impressive when you learn how to set it for your needs. Plus for the same price, you get the workhorse beast Excel, a business email and calendaring client (Outlook), the #1 presentation tool (PowerPoint), and a highly functional note-taking tool (OneNote).

I’m not trying to push Microsoft’s product line. There are others like Corel, or Apple’s iWork suite.

I just don’t understand the plethora of “distraction-free” editors, or all the fuss about code editors. Just use VS Code, JetBrain, Atom, or what have you. But as we speak, people are sweating to create yet more code editors which will have twice the bugs and half the functionality of the existing ones.

The world of writing tools is even worse. Markdown is a bit of a joke in the real world. If I see one more article about how someone wrote a book or dissertation using markdown, python, pandoc, makefile, and git... sigh! The reason they write those blog posts is because no one would believe anyone would go through the hassle of avoiding Microsoft Word to that extreme. It’s one thing to be a bit “retro” and keep using WordStar or WordPerfect, but those are at least real word processors.
OS X runs OpenGL 4.1 and is still available even if deprecated. If you are considering MoltenVK as a viable option then perhaps Zink over MoltenVK would work in the future.

Note that most of the newer OpenGL features are largely about sending stuff faster to the GPU, not enabling new GPU features - you can do a lot of stuff with OpenGL 4.1. IMO if you are struggling for CPU performance with OpenGL then you might be better moving to Vulkan. But if this isn't your bottleneck then there isn't a reason to not stick with OpenGL.

If OpenGL drivers on Linux are "laughably worse" (though in practice i haven't much of a difference) then the solution is to improve those drivers. It'll be better for all the thousands of existing applications too.
There is still no treatment. THe people I know who were positive literally received absolutely no medication and were told to just stay home for 14 days despite having a fever and cough. They don't even consider it worthy of any medication or treatment in the U.S. unless you already are obese, diabetic, or have asthma. I think the actual reason we see cases and not deaths is just more testing is happening. At the start they wouldn't even test you if you had a fever and cough unless you knew someone who also had tested positive. Which meant basically it was impossible to get a test because other sick people had the same problem. I have also heard that there is a significant amount of false positives because they rushed most of these testing processes in order to meet demand. I believe it was news that like people had swabbed pieces of fruit like a papaya or something and sent it in and received a positive test still. It is right that most sick or susceptible people are better protecting themselves as well, as they should.
It frustrates me that the AVR architecture is so good and yet so poorly speced, I would really like to see something that had the RAM size and Clock speed of some 32 bit controllers. Sometimes when you want to just throw some bytes around, 8-bit is best.

It would have been fun if Logic Green had made a high end variant of the lgt8f328 were they stuffed it full of RAM (like 48k) It has more one clock instructions than the ATMega and 32MHz from an internal osc.

Well, I'm biased because I'm working on Oil, and I'm sure the xonsh developers are aiming at something very different.

However on top of actually being slow (not just seeming slow) [1], I see it as a huge problem because it makes for an ill-defined language.

The behavior of your shell now depends on whatever /bin/sh and Python interpreter is on your machine. When you change Python versions, are your xonsh commands going to break? What about when you change shell versions? What happens when you copy some xonsh from one machine to another, with possibly different versions? Do they still work?

Some people might say that it's for interactive use, not for programs. But to me the point of shell is that you can seamlessly cut and paste your interactive sessions and now you have full automation. It's an amazing way to quickly build programs.

In other words, shell is the language with the best REPL. And it has the biggest standard library [2]

-----

Oil takes a very principled approach to parsing, e.g. http://www.oilshell.org/blog/tags.html?tag=parsing-shell#par...

while the xonsh approach is just about the most unprincipled approach there is. Again, I think they were aiming at something very different, but to me it falls short of what I want in a shell (and what other people have told me they want.)

-----

[1] I have some experience with running the bash completion scripts that xosnh scrapes: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2018/10/10.html . It is indeed slow.

I can't run my Switch copy of Warframe on my PS4. I have to install Warframe for PS4 on the PS4, and then I'll be playing only with other Warframe-on-PS4 players.

Similarly for every paid title I have on the PS4 if I move to Switch I have to buy those titles again, assuming they're available on the Switch. Many of the titles I have on Switch require a Nintendo Online account which is a paid service.

So I'm not sure what you think you're addressing with that comparison, other than desperately trying to find evidence to support your assertion that iPhone is somehow different to a gaming console in terms of being a platform or device.
It is hilarious to me as an Australian that anyone would call the NBNCO out as a 'brilliant idea'.

In theory yes but the 'national broadband network' has been nothing but a giant political mess and used as a tool to misinform and manipulate voters. It has resulted in ridiculous overblown budgets and a subpar below global standard product. I live 7km from Sydney CBD and I still have ADSL2 with 9mb down and 200kb/s up which gets 75% packet loss anytime it rains. The NBN was established/announced in 2009, it’s now 2020 and I am still waiting..

Anyone who is under the impression that the Australian government plans to maintain ownership has their head in the sand. This is a paid for tax payer network infrastructure project which will be packaged and sold off to private business in 5 years time so that private business can reap the rewards for the long term. This is what happened to our previous common network infrastructure provider Telstra.

We have laws for a reason and they must be enforced. Your argument here seems to be hinged around naming less damaging crimes like jaywalking to make enforcement seem frivolous. But to most people, enforcing laws against vandalism or littering do matter.

Leaving aside the crimes you named, police do need tools to identify, locate, and arrest those who engage in more serious crimes like property damage (car thefts, burglaries, bike thefts, etc), violence (rioters throwing Molotov cocktails, assaults, shootings), looting, etc. Enforcing the law matters in order to retain a stable and just society. It absolutely should be efficient, both in the interest of serving justice so there is a deterrent against crime, but also to save taxpayers’ money by making more efficient use of policing resources. Suggesting we keep police from enforcing the law efficiently is illogical and dangerous, and followed to its conclusion, is no different than arguing that police should also be denied other tools like computers or electricity.
