A couple of things in no particular order.

- If this is a new start up and you're just trying to get product market fit, then you don't need to spend time on making your systems stable to be able to support a big customer. First, you have to do whatever it takes to get a customer, and then a big customer. Plenty of really successful startups have ridiculously messy code under the hood, and that's OK because the job isn't to write clean code, the job is to create product that people love.

- If you are the CTO of this company, then it is your job to figure out what can be done under what time frames, and despite your cofounder needing more features, it is your responsibility to deliver them. Therefore, your cofounder needs to understand this, but since they are non-technical, they probably have no idea. This is on them to educate themselves, but you can help them. Of course, it is also on you to have a backbone and be able to tell your co-founder "No." It sucks, it doesn't feel good, but if you want to be a CTO, then being able to communicate is part of your job.

- What is your assessment and how you are doing financially with your customers? It sounds like your cofounder realized that you haven't achieved a product market fit yet, and they are trying new features to find what resonates with the customer the most. That is a good approach, but even better approach is to figure out what your customer needs before you build any of those features. It's hard to say exactly how to do given that we don't know anything about your application, but people who have figured out how to do it achieve great success. See my notes on [how Rahul started Superhuman](https://smashnotes.com/p/acquired/e/superhuman-with-ceo-rahu...), or how [Ramon made millions with a cheesy blog](https://smashnotes.com/p/my-first-million/e/blogging-his-way...). Those are just a couple of examples that come to mind immediately.

- Lastly, if your cofounder is asking for more features with little results, they are simply insecure and scared the company is about to fail, but instead of admitting what's happening to you and the team, they are hoping to find a way out of this before the collapse. They should talk to other "managers" in the company and find a way together, but they are scared, they are just a little mouse stuck in a dark-dark corner. If that's the case, see if you can figure out how to help them out, if it's possible.

Good luck!
Now imagine all the human stories that are forced into this situation that aren't heartwarming.
No. I will never willingly use facebook or facebook products.
Google nominally allows other browser engines on Android, but non-Chrome marketshare is a rounding error. There's not some great browser engine ecosystem out there, waiting to be unleashed.

The conversation is 100% about how much influence Apple should permit Google to have over the evolution of iOS.
Why not ship iOS 14 changes one week late. For most of the apps iOS 13 app should work as is, and for the remaining that requires changes, one week is anyways too less.
I replied to the substance of your comment already, but I also wanted to say that it's a bit frustrating to me that you are downvoted without other replies.

While "freedom" is a fairly generic term (I can be free to kill you or not free to kill you), circumscribing "personal freedom" is reasonable in such situations. Many libertarians would agree that "personal freedom" is bounded by the "Harm principle" so any supposed right to shoot you without fear of reprisal would not be included in the term "personal freedom." Those same people would probably also argue that self-harm (and behavior that places one at risk of self-harm), are absolutely part of personal freedom.

Anarchists might say that "personal freedom" encompasses the right to harm others, and would argue that the repercussions would be natural; the damage to your reputation from harming others would deny you the assistance of others that could be necessary to succeed (or even survive) in the future, and it could also open you up to reprisal.

Some people argue that "personal freedom" includes all, or nearly all forms of free speech. In the US, it is generally agreed upon that defamation and incitement to riot are exceptions due to the harm principle. Many people take it further and say that allowing e.g. a KKK parade in a town should be excluded because it causes harm to the black community by fostering an environment of fear and mistrust, resulting in mental, emotional and financial harm.

I take no disrespect, and agree that a reasonable person could exclude harm to others as part of "personal freedom" I'm less convinced that harm to self isn't "personal freedom" as I think even most of those who support e.g. seatbelt laws would agree that they are a very small infringement on personal freedom in exchange for a very large public-health benefit and are knowingly making that tradeoff.
Sale of products and services, of course.

It seems like the argument is that Apple is too profitable so it should be targeted. That stream of profits is certainly is what Epic and Spotify are trying to obtain through the courts.

Apple on the other hand, obtained that stream of profits by investing decades of resources into developing their platforms. Platforms which Epic and Spotify have not had to develop, and which they have befitted from.

I agree they could be mistaken by another passenger not familiar with oxygen concentrators, which is a good argument for avoiding vigilantism in general.

If you have concerns let the flight crew know quietly, and they can find out politely if the device is within policy (which oxygen concentrators of course are).

This feels like what Gabe Newell said about piracy. For most people, piracy is not a pricing problem, and DRM is not an ethics problem. In both cases, they are service problems. If DRM is keeping consumers from using their audiobook in some device of their choosing, they'll go out of your way to get a DRM-free copy. But if the DRM is sufficiently universal that they don't notice it's there, why would they care?

Apple falls over after big events for developers etc. Is there not a cashing layer locally at ISP level - ie, push '209 out in advance to ISP cache, then everyone can gobble it up when you announce and link on your website?
The Use of Virtual Learning Environment in Education
When you get a chance give this post a read, we're investing in our personal users now more than ever. The features we've announced are just the beginning.
Keeping things clean costs pennies and even if the reduction in the odds of transmitting covid aren't very high, it certainly helps with lots of other diseases, and for the vast majority of us avoiding the common cold or the flu is just as valuable as avoiding covid. A new ventilation system for a plane is many orders of magnitude more expensive and the amount of benefit it would provide is still questionable.

Reallocating such a measly sum to other areas is very unlikely to make a measurable difference. Infinitesimal costs can be justified by even very minor benefit.

Blender is not currently a parametric modeler. I think there is some effort to add some parametric functionality, but it is a loooooooong ways away from that as it's a complicated feature set.

Though it would be wonderful if Blender was eventually able to add this. It is probably not currently a priority for their financial sponsors though - CGI/game industry doesn't use parametric much.
In the paper they were still able to cover 100% of US numbers for Signal and discover all of its users, but less than 0.02% for Telegram and discover only 908 of its users due to simple rate limits, how is Signal better at this exactly? On top of that the paper purposely chose unrealistic threat models and assumptions about privacy, as if letting other people know your phone number is somehow acceptable for privacy in the first place (it isn't and never was).
I've been using cinnamon as well but in 20.04 the new mac-ish taskbar that conflates the quick launch favorite apps and running apps in one widget turns me off. Starting to look for alternatives that aren't trying to copy Apple.

Installed apps and running instances of installed apps are different concepts, damnit, and I don't need a phone-like interface that fakes the idea that all apps are "always running" when they are not.

Or your lungs might explode / rupture / tear. (I know that happens to divers who hold their breath, but 1 atm → ~0 atm might not be enough of a pressure difference to make that happen.)
As someone who's faced end of life fears, this kind of perspective is very different from the one you might get when you're realizing your time on this Earth is suddenly limited. I'm not saying you're not frustrated, but there's more to consider. I love having my kid around, even though we are sometimes annoyed with each other.
Trial monitors are the public-at-large. If they want a special designation, I believe that's a process that starts with a law from the Houses, not the whim of a single trial judge. Otherwise, it adds burden to all trial judges to have to decide who's a "trial monitor" at their discretion.

I'm happy to stand corrected if there's precedent to the contrary.
Wow, I did not expect this. I started looking at Fusion 360 a couple years back because it seemed very hobbyist friendly, and while I primarily use it for 3d printing, I've dabbled in laser cutting and CNC too.

I always had the impression that Autodesk had positioned Fusion 360 as their gateway drug into AutoCAD or some other Autodesk software, but that it was remarkably full featured for that purpose.

Last year (or was it the year before?), they added some restrictions to their free version. No biggie, I thought. Most of the cool hobbyist functionalities remained intact.

Now, they have taken more away. The file export limitations in particular are crippling. No .step? .dxf? No extensions??? I can't even buy stress simulation credits?

...yikes.

US$495 a year to subscribe to the "full" version (they have "generously" granted a 40% discount until Oct, hurry before it's too late!). No cheap versions for hobbyists like me who just like to dabble and for whom a yearly sub is out of the budget.

Any suggestions for free/cheap and functional local-install alternatives to Fusion 360? Parametric modelling has really saved my butt, and motion joint functionality is very useful too.
Does Blender even have any CAM/CAE functionality? Parts tree, version management, integration with CNC? It seemed like Blender is to CAD as MS Word is to Visual Studio. Different worlds that are superficially alike.

It's probably not illegal where they live judging by their tone. Often people who don't like something will tell you it's illegal to gain your compliance relying on your ignorance. They usually cuss and make a big show of it.

Air pressure vs. altitude: https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/air-altitude-pressure-d_4...

If I remember correctly, commercial aircraft are pressurized at about 8,000 ft. 25,000 ft is 5.45 psi, resulting in about 5.5 psi overpressure if you are depressurized. You might have a hard time, and you can injure your lungs doing that.

The time until you pass out will depend on your oxygenation situation before the loss of pressure, general health and fitness, activity level (panicking would be a bad idea), and a bunch of other things.

It's free outside of the IPv4 address, right? Pretty sure they started charging for that, or perhaps it is still delayed due to COVID.
Cgo exists because goroutine stacks are small and grow on demand. C/C++ expect large fixed size stacks. While you can technically call into C++ without going through cgo (see https://github.com/petermattis/fastcgo), you can't avoid the stack problem. Cgo solves it by switch from the goroutine stack to the stack of the thread underlying the goroutine.
I've long bemoaned the sorry state of English audiobooks in comparison to Russian audiobooks.

Audiobook interpreters like Игорь Князев or Александр Клюквин are household names to Russian speakers. Can any English speaker remember the name of the interpreter of their favourite audiobook? Only when it's the author himself, I guess. And only because of the abysmal quality.

There were once radio plays, but with the demise of radio, audio plays barely exist nowadays in English while they still strive in Russian.

This largely due to the difference in markets. English-speaking market is dominated by corporations and is severely policed.

Russian-speaking market is grassroots, uncensored and abundant in small producers / new names.

P.S. Aside from the hard-to-find recordings from 1960..1990ies, French audiobooks are even worse.
Thank you - but the ones that a freely available aren't marked in the headlines (e.g. "free"), or am I overlooking something?
As influential and great as the NIN soundtrack for Quake was, I personally preferred Primus's "Pork Soda" as a quite literal drop-in replacement.

The original soundtrack was shipped as regular redbook cd audio: the game was installed to the hard drive and would happily play music from whatever disc was in the CDROM drive.
These restrictions seem fairly reasonable to me, most cause for concern would be further future restrictions I suppose. No generative design at all is a bit of a shame though, people do play with that ('needlessly') for hobby 3D prints.

Odd that it doesn't mention small businesses though - wasn't it previously personal or <100k USD pa?

But also.. why? If it's already personal use only, and someone has an automatic tool changer for their personal use CNC mill, why not let them use it? Get hooked on it? Continue to want to use it when they have a saleable product idea?
My immediate reaction is "adjusted for inflation" != "adjusted for wages".

If the way Audible treats me is abuse, I can only say I wish more companies were abusive.

It is absolutely frictionless and cheaper than competing services.

All my titles are available on all my devices, and progress syncs perfectly.

As a consumer, it is far far easier and more convenient than having to manually download mp3s off a shared drive or something, never mind the issue of how you sync progress.
Worth noting that the quoted TUCs were for individuals who were healthy, rested, and expecting the depressurization.

> Among my friends that have bought houses, many of them have gone into significant debt just to buy a 3-4 bedroom house, even though they have no kids and only use one of the bedrooms, because they think that at some point in their life they will put them to use.

The problem is they think they might not be able to afford it once they have enough kids to need it. Ironically lots of people thinking that way reinforces the problem.
> No particular date was set for when users would be able to install apps with the new features.

The expectation is that apps will support the new features on day one. Because that's how it has worked in the past.

> what excitement are we talking about? Users will get app updates automatically as they become available.

Again, historically, apps support the new features on day one. That won't be the case with this release because there's no way an App developer will be able to ship an app to App Store review in 24 hours and have the app available the same day.

> Are you suggesting that users typically buy a whole load of new apps on the one day iOS updates ship, but only if those apps have features only supported by the new OS?

I'm not so sure about buying new apps, I am saying that typically existing apps get updates that take advantage of new features and those are typically available on day one of an iOS update and won't be this year.

I don't think iOS 14 has any major game changing features, so I don't think we'll see a massive buy in of new apps or anything. But if this trend happens again with a release that DOES have major new features then it's a big disappointment.

> So we’re left with the possibility that the developer has bugs in the last iOS 13 version of their app that did not manifest under Beta 8, but do manifest under the GM.

Keep in mind that developers on iOS tend to think in terms of larger updates. So an app developer may release a new major version on the same day as iOS 14, or iOS 13, etc.

These are typically 'free' updates for existing users, but they're whole version updates and come with a larger set of changes.

In the past, developers had time to prepare for release. If bugs existed in version 3 of their app running on the iOS beta, they probably fixed those in version 4 (unreleased) of their app, and planned to submit and ship version 4 the same day as iOS 14. That entire process is not going to happen this year, so it's possible that bugs existing in iOS 14, but did not exist in 13, will be present in apps until those updates ship next week sometime.

Edit:

>and certainly in no way justifies Apple being called an ‘Asshole’

I'm not calling Apple an asshole, I'm not defending the author of the article who is calling them an asshole. I'm simply explaining how it worked when I worked on a major top 50 app in the App Store. Thank god I'm not doing it anymore, it was stressful enough doing it in previous years, it's probably even worse today.
It is a window into the culture of the source -- and often the only one accessible to us.

This is not to say that journalists should not strive to report without bias, they should do so, but rather that unbiased coverage is an ideal never rightly claimed as fully achieved.
I don't know where you live, but on my ballot, "the environment" isn't listed.

Instead of goals or policies, what's listed are politicians.

An honest question: The west coast is represented by Democrats. Who am I supposed to vote for? We've known about climate change, and we've voted. We've had both Republican and Democratic regimes over the past half century, but what has changed for the better? Just recently, House Democrats voted to give 850,000 acres of a Nevada wildlife refuge to the airforce for bombing [0].

This makes me think you cannot vote your way out of climate disasters. Telling people to vote doesn't really solve the problem. What are concrete steps that can be done?

If voting is the only thing we can do, then I think we're in big trouble.

Okay, but having a bigger display with the same PPI instead of making it the same size, but higher PPI should be perferable here, right?
I know a military contractor working on some pretty cool stuff, especially back in the day. On one of their projects they had to solve some really gnarly partial differential equation and weren't really getting anywhere. Since what they actually wanted were values (not the algebraic solution) what they ended up doing is building the equivalent circuit and measured what the voltage and current was in the circuit to get the values that they needed for some completely different domain.

I always thought that that way of thinking was pretty neat. Can the same abstraction have a different physical manifestation that's cheap to create? If you kinda squint a bit, it's what we do with computers.
That would be permissible by this policy.

As far as "mental illness," I'd prefer people go a little overboard than the opposite. If for no other reason than I am safer near someone in an airtight hazmat suit + respirator, whereas I am less safe near someone without PPE.

While I think the balance should be "reasonableness," they aren't hurting anyone else or even themselves. So live and let live.
