The problem is if you have nothing to do it's really hard to stay concentrated even if you star on the road instead of your phone.

It's like saying:

- if you don't concentrate you might end up in prison

IMHO self driving cars are only viable if the car manufacturer is responsible for mistakes the (AI) driver they employ does.

Which sadly also means they would only be on abbo basis.

It's a different thing for assistant, through it's not always clear when a car with assistant becomes a self-driving car.
I see two ways of it playing out for Nvidia:

1) Adoption of ARM CPU's (AWS Graviton, rPi etc) will cause software to be adapted to ARM anyway, meaning: Nvidia could come out with a full vertically integrated cloud.

or

2) Leveraging full vertical integration with ML based super computers.

The article does mention Apple normally provides at least 3-4 days of Golden Master availability and usually a week+ before General Availability and that this is useful for various reasons. A lot of these are ecosystem failing that developers work around normally, when given enough time. Since it doesn’t seem to provide enough detail maybe I can fill in some missing context.

The App Store submission process is tightly integrated with the Xcode version used to build the app, if you want to be ready before users upgrade the App Store needs to be updated at least a few days before users automatically get the update. The App Store being updated to allow builds from the new version of Xcode is the most important issue. That only happened after 2pm ET on the 15th, and I’ve seen report their had been some delay (thankfully I only had to verify existing builds and didn’t need to submit a new build today). This means even if you had your build completely done based on pre Golden Master beta, and can either quickly reverify it or are comfortable just throwing it out there, you could only actually submit it today. Review times even without back and forth over policy points can take multiple days. Things will be worse for users over the next couple days.

iOS betas are frequently quite noisy and variable, if you test against an early beta you will need to retest against the actual GM with potential backwards compatible breaks each time. If you are either unlikely to have bugs or have enough capacity to spike doing a lot of work within a week you have the option of only doing the expensive thorough verification work against a single release.

There are still many reasons why real device testing with the production IAP environment are necessary. This is mostly a failure on Apple’s part to ever update their test environment’s capabilities and achieve parity with production. Doing this early requires you to be able to afford and have extra hardware of spend extra time having to upgrade and downgrade OS versions in order to verify the new version and continue to support live production hot fixes and support. A week between GM and GA is in the Goldilocks zone for developers, so that if they’re not doing a huge release to correspond with the iOS version they can upgrade test devices once, do one chunk of testing and fixing issues, and have their own build which will happily support both the old and new OS reviewer and live before users actually get the new OS.
The point I'm making is that (at least as far as the UK is concerned), you can't get away with painting the right as nutters engaged in whipping up fears over nothing when there is rock solid substance that what they (the right) were saying for decades was actually true, i.e. that children were being abused by people predominantly from particular groups, and that this abuse was being deliberately ignored. And what makes the cases in the UK particularly poignant is that it was leftist concerns i.e. political correctness that motivated the cover-ups. If you were a child in the crosshairs, you absolutely did need to be afraid of the left.
Having worked at many places with many bullshitters who have successfully conned the Agile process for weeks (sometimes months), I'd have to disagree.

All in the name of UI cleanliness and simplicity. Like how there's no way to manually trigger the firmware update for the AirPods. You just have to keep them plugged in next to your iPhone and ... wait ... until some magic pixie in Apple's cloud decides it's time to push the update to you.

Steve Jobs used to say it over and over again when criticized by angry developers[1] that their main focus will always be users instead of developers and that the latter will just have to suck it up if they want to get a piece of the lucrative Apple user base pie.

In comedic contrast, here's a sweaty Steve Balmer shouting "Developers!" for half a minute.[2]

The two approaches to this are to force resolving dependencies (can be painful and require humans), or duplicate code (can cause bugs).

There are disadvantages to both and in particular duplicating dependencies should be seen as a short-term fix for a transition, not something you do routinely. If you do it routinely you'd see bugs due to shared locks, state, or changed data structures - it breaks assumptions about pkg globals for example, an important part of the language used extensively in the stdlib.
Care to elaborate? Did Apple break backwards compatibility with apps built on the iOS 13 SDK with no way to work around it? Seems hard to believe that everyone upgrading to iOS 14 will end up with no functional third party apps today?
Isn’t French law based on civil law so the decisions of courts are non-binding / do not carry precedent? Source, Wikipedia.

I also find it odd that the French don’t distinguish between a contract and a licence, as in UK-US law a licence is a promise not to enforce one’s rights under copyright law rather than a contractual agreement.
I think that is a very pessimistic view of what you actually can achieve in a browser! With web assembly a lot of those things actually are very possible today.
My MP had several death threats last year - including in the post to her home address inside an otherwise normal looking birthday card.
Wait, what? Did Apple announce that GM is released to public beta, or did they announce that they are actually pushing out iOS 14 to over 1B devices as of tomorrow? Because the two are very different. If it’s the former, I agree with the author that it’s a complete disaster for a lot of development teams. There is really no sane reason to do something like this, so I just can’t imagine it’s true — it’s not like the OS update has to be pushed out ASAP because some magical new device or service requires it.

Yeah, I guess some people decided that technical errors helping you to find what is going on are "ugly".
Their job, as designed, is impossible. Automation complacency is well-known and well-studied -- any system which requires no input for an hour and then requires you to act randomly within seconds is an impossible task for humans. Volvo's self-driving (hands-on-wheel required) accounts for that. Uber's did not.

The beer industry would love to use plastic bottles. But beer goes stale in plastic. Plastic is not good at keeping the oxygen out and the alcohol in. There are bottles with multiple layers in different types of plastic that work reasonably well, but they are more expensive than standard PET bottles, much harder to recycle than PET, and still not as good for storing beer as glass is.
Latter: iOS 14 is going out to 2 billion devices tomorrow, probably 10 AM.

If you don't expect something to happen reaction times can be really slow.

Which is also how it differs from the lifeguard job, there you always expect that from time to time something will happen, but as far as I can tell many people would not expect this when they use a self-driving car. Because you know, the car is already meant to be able to handle this. Or at least this is how many people think about self driving cars I think.
I watched the 2018 German film "The Wave" about some students that spend a week learning about fascism by gradually becoming fascists without knowing it.

And it's similar to a startup:

- One of the first stages in their indoctrination is wearing a uniform. In startups you get company t-shirts.

- Then there's the autocracy... a central figure that has supreme power, the movement leader. In a startup, you have the founders.

- And once startups become a cohesive group, they become a groupthink collective that thinks they're the invincible chosen few destined to rule the world.

> If you use some sort of thing that the new privacy things will block you need to update to account for the new behavior.

I am not shedding a tear for the producers of the apps that used privacy invading code all the time, and didn't stop since iOS betas exist, waiting instead for "official iOS 14" to "do something" -- which is probably forcing the user to agree or not use the app.

I hope I'm wrong, and to accept that I'd need a specific example.
Some background: initially, I started off working on a personal finance app and discovered that transaction info was in a terrible state, even with the big guys like Plaid.

Transaction names were a mess: "170220 SPOTI P23ZFA90EA", "SPOTIF" "AMZN 44237", "AMAZON.COM". And there definitely was no chance in hell I'd get something like a logo...

Over time, I developed an internal solution that really just blew everything out of the water. Slowly, by word of mouth, it started gaining some interest from direct and distant colleagues. Finally, I decided to test out the waters by creating an API for the internal toolkit I had already been using myself. This is the result. Cheers!
probably. And I like that, it means they will finally become the true vertical company they wanted from beginning. Meaning they'll lose all developers and become a niche company.

Meanwhile what I really want to see in developers world is the same in cellphone area as is in PC area. Freedom of choice of what OS to put on my phone. On PC I can have HDD partitions and install Win/Lin/Mac all in the same hardware. This is my dream.

I never understood why people keep pointing out that charity donations "might" qualify as tax brakes, as if that's something bad or even worse - some way to cheat the system. Can someone explain this to me?

As far as I understand - by donating X amount of money, the most you can possibly get, is an X deduction from your taxes. But the total amount of money spent at the end is still X. You haven't saved anything anywhere. You have sort of re-routed your taxes from the government to someone else.

The only way I can see fraud in this is when people set up a charity owned by themselves, then donate money to it and simultaneously have it as a tax deduction - that's just fraud. But I still don't see what's wrong with simply getting a tax break for donating - it doesn't save you anything, in fact, it's an added hassle at your tax return time(if you live somewhere where you have to do those at all).

> A single member LLC in California is treated exactly like a sole proprietorship for tax purposes,

No, it's not; both for federal and California tax purposes, a single-member LLC chooses whether to be taxed as a corporation (i.e., separately) or as a “disregarded entity” (directly on the owners taxes as for sole proprietorship of the single member is an individual, on the owners taxes as a corporate subsidiary or division if the single member is itself a corporation.)

> It won’t protect you from lawsuits

Yes, it does mean that, absent the conditions for piercing the veil which apply just as they would to any corporation, you are protected from liability for the liabilities of the company. That's the LL in LLC. If you properly observed the formalities of LLC operation, it does protect you.

> you’ll still have to provide personal guarantees on loans, etc.

Well, yeah, if you have a baby business that has no evidence of being credit worthy and no way to secure it's debts, it'll need some guarantee of payment before people will extend it credit. That's kid of obvious—why would someone extend credit to an entity with no demonstrated ability to pay with no one else on the hook?

This is not how labor laws work. The role description needs to be fair. A employer cannot just shift all the blame to the employee. The employer needs to take the needed actions and provide the needed equipment and procedures so the employee can do her task.

I think this is really more of a people business than an ecosystem/technology one. Obviously there are benefits to being Apple, they might well give themselves some private APIs so they have features nobody else does, I'm sure they'll use Activity Awards exclusive to Fitness+. But ultimately Peloton has a massive backlog of great classes by great instructors, and a continuous stream of the same. Apple have to replicate that to play in this space, and if they don't then it won't matter how clever they are tech-wise or how much their ecosystem makes it appealing.
Controversial opinion here but I support monopolies. Compare the innovation that came out of Bell Labs when Bell had a monopoly vs. the stagnation that exists with the current telecom oligpoly. Most tech companies are natural monopolies so they're never going to exist on a purely competitive market, so it's a choice between oligpoly and monopoly, in which case the latter is far better for funding research.

A ton of software from that era stopped working when XP was released. For instance storing settings in an application's installation folder was common until Microsoft stopped it.

In normal driving, the driver is continually taking actions. Making small adjustments, considering hypotheticals, checking mirrors and speed. If the user is continually engaging with the system, there's less of a risk of the user's attention lapsing. Once the user's input is no longer required, humans are very bad at paying attention to something that doesn't change, and very bad at reacting to the change when it does happen.
Having only ~24 hours to submit a fix for your app, or risk negative reviews from disgruntled users ... is pretty shitty though.

>>They leave us suckers to pay.

Except that's not true at all. Vast majority of taxes come from the richest. They might pay less percentage wise than me and you, but they pay the most in absolute terms.

>>I think more of people who pay their fair share.

I think more of people who pay more tax, not of those who pay more percentage wise. Ie - someone who makes a million dollars and pays 100k in tax seems to be contributing far more to the system than someone who makes 20k and pays 4k in taxes - even though the second person paid more percentage wise. Which one of these is "a fair share"? Why is one person literally paying 25x as much in taxes? Do they use the roads and hospitals and prisons and the police 25x as much?

I mean, I can see both sides of this argument - but I do dislike when people just go "oh us suckers down here are paying all the taxes" - like, no, we just don't.
