The profane language really isn’t necessary. It would be helpful to understand what portion of apps are negatively impacted by the new iOS version. If it’s insignificant, there’s really no strong incentive for Apple to specifically set a launch date with developers.

It’s besides the point by the profanity just weakens the argument. Presumably the iOS beta has been out long enough that developers could have pushed out an update if their app seriously breaks with the update.
the free version of gcc gnat is garbage, it randomly crashes during compilation, the timers are based on a subdivision of systick on STM32 (good luck for accuracy or high frequency).

So basically you need to already be wealthy to just dip into it (buy a licence of Adacore and a supported expensive aero grade MCU test kit).

I stopped messing with it 5 years ago.
I assume this is the reason that casino croupiers are rotated frequently off and on the floor as well, although there of course it is about protecting profits rather than safety.
Is that meant to show how Bill Gates Sr is a good guy? Reading between the lines, it sounds like he put the screws on the 'other' guy with the higher bid, as his 'man' had to win.

Probably I was triggered by you saying "highly respected lawyer". lol. And, he also ran planned parenthood.
In England certainly the person supervising a learner driver is subject to the same laws about alcohol, mobile phone use, etc as someone actually driving- and can be convicted on a charge of aiding and abetting any crime the learner driver commits. This is the case regardless of whether they are a professional driving instructor with their own brake pedal, or a parent supervising their child driving the family car.

I have Mobian installed, and I don't have a spare SIM card to try calling and SMS. (I have tried postmarketOS and kde neon, and neither was good enough)

Functionally, everything else works: WIFI, apps, suspend, camera, music, etc.

I wouldn't use this as my primary phone, though, as it still crashed on me a few times. Many programs cannot adapt to the screen size effectively; buttons, menus are sometimes not possible to see.

It's not unusable, but not ideal if you want a robust primary phone.

Another drawback (if used as a main phone) is that it's really slow. In fact, it's possibly the slowest device --- with regard to user interaction --- that I have used in years, which is okay for a pinephone, as it is intended as a testing device.
I’m in complete agreement with your assessment on that. If the processes I mentioned above weren’t in place and someone drowned while the lifeguard was watching a video or reading a magazine, they should be held to account. I’m remiss to completely remove individual agency from scenarios like this. The processes just help make those failure cases less accessible because you get fired before it happens.

That’s really the fundamental point, these processes exist because those failure cases are understood, acknowledged, and chosen to be managed diligently.

SOYA summer was a lot of fun, though an office job still qualifies for the acronym even if you don’t get a great tan and have a lot less fun, heh.
I don't think that's the point that nuclearnice1 is making.

The focus is not on the other bidder (who may or may not have gone on to make a fortune).

The point is the seller could have gotten more than what Schulz paid for the chain. If this was a corporate m&a situation and a second bidder arose at a higher price, the board has a fiduciary duty to consider that offer.

I think there are more practical reasons why it's not used more. What you say is absolutely true of course, but the bigger issue is that McCLIM still has some technical issues.

What is really needed is a multiplatform backend that implements everything completely. Right now the only production grade backend is the CLX one, and even that one requires you to jump though hoops to get complete font rendering.

I built all of this into the flatpak distribution, but few people are willing to go through that just to distribute some software.
Surely the developers had the 3 month beta period to identify these issues, and ship fixes, right? As far as I understand it, it's possible to ship fixes for a new iOS version before that iOS version actually launches, and indeed that's the idea of the beta period.
Man, don't you understand that you are not allowed to critize Apple here.
Don't touch my walled garden and (fake) privacy.

iOS 14 has introduced home screen widgets, it is a game-changer man, it has only been on Android for like 7 years :)
But then doesn't the US have that, post Obamacare? I thought the point of that law was to make health insurance purchase mandatory.
Seems like once you get going it's hard to stop.

You are working in a company that is using the smartest people to optimize the ad conversion funnel to sell to people some useless bullshit. At least your grandfather saw the result of his work.

I like the idea, but would say there still is a giant step missing towards zero waste, given that a lot of waste comes from private households and that at least half of the food is wasted along the supply chain.
When Apple ported their code from the Lisa to the Macintosh they had to rewrite a lot of Pascal code in C and assembly to make it fit into the ROM's. There was also an issue 100% standard Pascal was useless for writing micro computer programs because it couldn't do any IO outside the console and files. C on the other hand through pointers and inline assembly allowed you to directly monkey with the hardware.

Thing also forgotten how many early PC programs were written in assembly.
Some "Fuck Everyone" vibes from Ed Norton in 25th Hour. Could use a little more than one line of self-reflection though at the end though.

It sounds more like the problem is autoconf.

Replacing autoconf with cmake or a similar metabuilder will provide a lot more flexibility to build on different platforms, including, eg, windows, and cross-build.

If it's easier to build on any platform, you don't need to try to get into the custom packager business and just focus on your library.
Acting?
IOS 14 for developers was available for a long time. Also this is a norm with all SDKs, engines, tools etc - new versions always have new bugs that will be fixed in updates.

Especially considering that only a small percent usually updates to new version of OS in first few days.
I don't understand the issue completely, so the case may have merit but it's not like the current admin doesn't have an axe to grind with them. Might be just electioneering antics but look at this tweet: https://twitter.com/EricTrump/status/1303288007357796353
This isn't an sdk issue, it's a purposeful decision by Niantic to not support beta OSes to avoid potential exploits. Fwiw it finally works now with the 14 GM that went out :)
At least here in Germany, this culture seems to be over. It was declining and after Corona, it has changed completely.
More and more smaller companies also value that you have family, friends and social life and home office becomes a normal thing, thanks god.

But I agree with a lot of these points after working 5 years in a startup. The biggest problem is that you try to increase your runway even though the business model does not seem to work. Instead of making it profitable as soon as possible, you try to grow and grow and hire people you don't even need. This was the worst experience. And then letting those people go again is even worse.

I hope that we get back to the ground and try to build solid and profitable business in the future instead of blown up air castles with no value at all.
Cochrane seriously misconstrues what the WSJ op-ed is about, which I think is understandable since it adopts a pro-regulatory tone while in the underlying Second Circuit appeal that the op-ed is about the OCC is adopting a (sort of) deregulatory position.

I think this article gives a better understanding of what’s actually happening: https://www.kilpatricktownsend.com/Blog/fintech/2020/8/Banki...

In brief, if you want to set up a fintech company now, you may need to comply with 50 states laws. That isn’t just being basically law-abiding, but involves serious compliance work. I started looking up licenses for Square as an example and got bored after the first few as state web sites are all different and inconvenient:

https://dbo.ca.gov/2018/04/02/square-inc/

https://www.dob.texas.gov/entity-search/entity-detail?bid=10...

http://www.dora.state.co.us/pls/real/BIDS_Search.Individual_...

Each of those, and also for all the other states, involved satisfying a state agency that Square was adequately solvent and would comply with a host of laws. You may notice that the first two have license numbers and the numbers are small. That says something about how easy it is to get the licenses. This is a meaningful part of these companies’ moats.

The OCC action that New York is challenging is to provide a federal alternative structure in which companies would get one federal license and receive nationwide permission to engage in a host of banking-like activities. They would still be able to get state licenses instead, if they wanted. This system (of picking between a state and federal regulator) is called dual chartering and has existed in the banking industry for a long time; it establishes a check on both state and federal regulators by allowing the regulated entity to switch to an alternative regulator.
I believe it was "his" phone at the time.
Very light on details here ... I understand what fuzzing is. I also know that I can fuzz my own code with standalone tools ... why do I need this “as a service”? Is it some kind of AI or do they have a production line of engineers doing nothing but fuzzing all day?

EDIT and why fuzzing specifically? I have a whole laundry list of boring stuff I’d love done as a service...
Now you mention it, I haven't heard much (mind you I'm not in SF or anywhere near the startup world) about the startup frat culture in a while now. The investors have become less spendthrifty (?), some of the really big ones (wework?) have fallen from grace, and the older generation (e.g. Google) has really toned it down as well.

I mean for a good while it was like, Google is the place to be because they only hire the smartest and they take really good care of their employees. But as time goes by, turns out what they do is just a job, their developers are all right, they've got tons of legacy code, etc.

I was offered to apply to their "apps" department (think Docs and co) in Germany, but it just did not sound appealing.
Just trying to give the context of why Apple is so protective to the App Store and why these lead them to do some unreasonable decisions.

I wanted to break the preconception that software is just inherently secure. If anything it's super brittle and the continuous delivery cycle has its downsides.
The new OS version is a moving target, and it only really settles down with the final release candidate - which can still be changing a couple of weeks before the actual release.

So yes, it's possible to write to the beta, but no, it's not possible to guarantee there will be no last minute breaking changes.
Fun example, thanks for pointing it out!

I actually took Professor Grötschel's Linear Optimization course at TU Berlin, and the practical optimization task/competition we did for that course very much illustrates the point made in the answer to the stackexchange question you posted.

Our team won the competition, beating the performance not just of the other student teams' programs, but also the program of the professor's assistants, by around an order of magnitude. How? By changing a single "<" (less than) to "<=" (less than or equal), which dramatically reduced the run-time of the dominant problem of the problem-set.

This really miffed the professor quite a bit, because we were just a bunch of dumb CS majors taking a class in the far superior math department, but he was a good sport about it and we got a nice little prize in addition to our grade.

It also helped that our program was still fastest without that one change, though now with only a tiny margin.

The point being that, as the post notes, this is a single problem in a single, very specialized discipline, and this example absolutely does not generalize.
I think you conflate marketing with technical change.

You would like to announce a new major version with fanfare, bumping a version number.

A programmer wants to be sure that his piece of software continues working if there has only been a minor version bump of a library he is using.

Did you read the reasoning of Russ Cox in respect to vgo, versioning and the module system in general? It reads very plausible and understandable.

Just because so many peopele interpret semver in their sense instead what it really means shouldn't prevent the Go core team to try to do it right.
Absent mindedly is closer. Whatever you call reaching for something out of habit with thinking about it.
Yes. Wikipedia has an article about him here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Paul_Neil
This is amusing. However, there’s rejection of the baby with the bath water here:

> reviewed your quarterly and yearly “goals” for another 30 minutes ... noise cancelling headphones and Pomodoro timers, your fucking to-do lists, apps

You can have these when you pry these from my cold, dead hands. I vividly remember my life before I got organised, productive, and before noise cancelling headphones, and there’s absolutely no going back.
That has absolutely nothing to do with why they would depart from their usual reliable release cycle and force developers to scramble to update their apps for iOS 14.
At least for me with my Pinebook Pro, it feels a little bit like a typewriter does to me for writing -- it's perfectly capable, and powerful enough for all of my dev work and side projects aside from heavier stuff or any ML, but still limited enough and dedicated enough an environment that I find myself getting more done sitting out in the back yard or on the couch than I would sitting w/ my laptop regularly
> it's possible to ship fixes for a new iOS version before that iOS version actually launches

No it isn't. Apple doesn't permit code linking against the latest SDK to be submitted until the SDK goes "GM". That happened today.

I think there is a confidence score actually! Most blogs about it don't show them but this one went into it:

It's really cool how the uncertainty prompts alter the confidence associated with the next words.

I guess I'm not disagreeing with you in the abstract that a theoretically strong enough AI could identify bad papers, especially if it had some help for 'real' arithmetic. It at least could flag the most basic issues like plagiarism, cited documents that don't contain the cited fact, etc. Detecting claims that are themselves implausible seems like the hardest task possible, however. That's very close to general AI.
Uptake is very rapid, and new bugs can show up between a beta and a GM release of iOS. It's not enough baking time to test against a GM version of iOS and successfully submit an update to the app store that is accepted and reviewed that is the issue here.

Imagine if your app crashes on launch with iOS 14 GM and does not on the latest beta, your business has been materially effected as a result.
Assuming you are using a deterministic algorithm, like a Deterministic Finite Automaton for regular expressions for your Type-0 languages (eg, the lexer), and something like LL/LR for the Type-1 languages, then processing time is always O(n), where n is the number of tokens in the input. In the end they are all just table driven state machines, with one lookup per input token. I don't see how they could be made much faster.

When he says LR parsers were hard for old machines to handle he was referring to the generating the parsing table which happens once, when the parser itself is created.
To clarify; CURL isn't in Windows. CURL in Windows is an alias for the Invoke-Webrequest cmdlet.
The waz I solve this in my parsers, is that I have a generic "node" syntax that isn't differentiated between types and expressions. So e.g.

x[1] : array[int]

would be parsed as

cast(item(ident("x"), int("1")), item(ident("array"), ident("int")))

Then the semantic disambiguation (`x[1]` -> expression, `array[int]` -> type) would be done in the next stage.
You need to be a certain type of animal to be a successful politician. Especially in the US where the power per person in the senate especially is enormous.

That is quite a short sighted and funny evaluation.

It is so benignly restricted since it excludes the possibility of charity and government funding can have a positive impact. Instead it is some fight against good and evil.

Let's not ignore the 'minor' detail that the entire space is a ponzi scheme to begin with (coming from Chamath Palihapitiya; a billionaire who was one of the first Facebook employees): https://youtu.be/NVVsdlHslfI?t=2

And let's not ignore that the entire financial system within which this ponzi scheme operates is also a giant ponzi scheme: https://youtu.be/iFDe5kUUyT0?t=79

So the startup world is literally a ponzi scheme within a ponzi scheme.
You're ignoring that there is more to creating something than just paying for it. Someone had to exist and sacrifice their time and also their body (construction is dirty and taxing work) to build the infrastructure. By saying "Regardless, the middle income household certainly did not build it." you are not only disrespecting the work, you're also failing to understand what money really is about. It's one thing to be, narcissistic, ignorant and rude, it's another to be plain stupid.

I can trivially mint my own currency and become a billionaire yet I am unable to build infrastructure. When a street is about to be repaved I don't see any billionaires around, all I see is workers doing their job. Money on its own is worthless, it's just a convenient fiction that functions as a lubricant to make trade easy. Without a second party accepting your money on the other side you can't do anything with it. The power of a billionaire doesn't lie in their money, it lies in the ability to steer thousands of people to work for the billionaire. The middle class IS the wealth of the billionaire.

People are weird and think the abstraction is reality. Maybe it becomes clear when you look at a retirement scheme. Many of them are based on the idea that you contribute to a pension fund while young and that pension fund is immediately paying out to retirees. Doesn't this sound odd? Isn't this a pyramid scheme where we need more young people than old people? Why aren't people saving up their own money and then use their own money during retirement? Because that can't work. Imagine a closed community with 10 people who do not have children but are working and saving up money. Now all of them have retired and each of them has $1000000 saved up. Everyone is a millionaire but there is no food because everyone retired, nobody is working on the farms. The money only had value because there was a community of people working in exchange for money. Once the workers are gone, so is the value of that money.

Money and labor are tied together because all material goods are the product of labor (including infrastructure). Each dollar you own is just a promise that someone else will work for you. Billionaires just managed to get a lot of people to promise to work for them. That's why they don't have to work themselves.
It was an entertaining read. The mixture of valid criticism and bitterness was funny.

Sure, there are some crazy people in the field, but in the end, most of my friends would kill for the conditions I had at tech companies. As long as you remind yourself that it's just a job, it's a pleasant experience.
Isn’t the pedestrian that got hit at least partially responsible? They were crossing a live road, unlit, and not at a designated crossing. I get that the driver has a duty to mitigate / avoid an accident if possible, but the circumstances didn’t involve the driver running a red light or driving into a designated pedestrian area.

I’m curious as to whether her defence in court will fall along those lines, as it simply can’t be a case where she is entirely at fault? I would have thought it would be 50/50 liability as both parties had equal opportunity to avoid the accident. The driver should have seen the pedestrian, and the pedestrian should not have jaywalked.

I get that this may be an unpopular line of reasoning, but please comment if you disagree, don’t just downvote.

Go doesn't have interpolated strings but printf / sprintf and co, and its compiler will warn and error if your arguments do not line up or have the wrong type.

I mean it's not ideal, but sprintf and co are only intended for relatively short text (like logging), if you have any more, use a templating language instead. Plenty of those in Java as well (JSP, Velocity, etc).
If you’re not seeing how, one sentence: angry users leave reviews.
Combining brains and charisma is very rare in a politician. Obama being the textbook example - senior law school lecturer but also has the emotional depth and natural charm.
There are of course two errors that the developer of the backend made. The first is not filtering what came back from the Amadeus API, but the second one - the one I am referring to - is using an Amadeus API key with too much access.

Amadeus filters the booking record depending on the level of access that the user accessing it has (the user being the backend in this case). In a previous life for another airline, I have experienced this problem before when a vendor tried to get something through to production which was retuning credit card numbers and expiry dates to the frontend (but not the CV3). This was all because the vendor tried to use the highest privilege API key rather than the one with access to the specific info they needed. It never got past UAT thanks to thorough security review in this case.
The system in (rural) Thailand works quite well. The locals don't drink the tap water but get it in large 20L or so reusable plastic containers. There's a deposit of like $70c and a refill is like $20c from the local store.
Money is a lot more portable than parcels. If Daniel H. Schulman wires all paypal customer deposits to a bank account in a hostile jurisdiction, then flies his private jet to that country, what should the US do?

Should the US say, start a literal war with Russia because Schulman stole $20M? You could say "economic sanctions", but what economic sanctions hasn't Congress already enacted against Russia?

There are a lot of countries that don't have extradition treaties with the United State, and many more than that which don't mind seeing American customers ripped off.
