Great comment.

I will have to point out that aside from Apple Arcade, iOS has its own problems. Problems that could be easily rectified by Apple but they choose not to:

1) Apple's Family Sharing has an "Ask To Buy" feature but it doesn't work as the name suggests. The feature actually requires parental permission for every download. It's not just a simple notification that you can click yes/no on either.... After clicking the notification, the app store opens and you must approve it there. Now, Apple has an age classification system that I generally trust so I don't have any desire to review every download. I just want to prevent the kid from spending money.

IMHO, it's purposefully designed to add friction in order to discourage its use. After being interrupted three or four times with this in a single day while coding, I just turned it off.

2) If your child does make a purchase (including a recurring subscription), it is not possible for you, the credit card holder, to view the details or cancel it anywhere in Apple's interface. It's like it doesn't exist. If you miss Apple's receipt email (or it goes to spam) you might never know.

To cancel the subscription? The child must do so on his or her device. Do you trust your child to do this correctly? Remember - they've already been "tricked" once by the App developer and Apple.

How about having the child uninstall the app? That should cancel any associated subscriptions right? No, sorry.

So, really, you must do it. And you must do it on their phone. Are they at school? Make a note to remind yourself when they get home. Are they away at school entirely during the week? Make a note to do it when you see them on the weekend (in the meantime, the weekly renewing subscription has billed you once again). Good luck if you forget to do it. Or they forget their phone at school or.... the phone is lost/stolen.

The point being: If Apple is billing my credit card, it should be my right to see it in their interface and cancel it. Neither of which is even possible. It's like it doesn't exist.

Both of the above are obvious, intentional dark patterns. There are no good reasons why they can't work properly. It's blatantly anti-consumer, and frankly disgusting that Apple engages in this sort of thing (and this is coming from someone who'd be largely considered a "fanboy" otherwise).
No "budding author" relies on their income from writing at the very beginning, since it is approximately zero, usually requiring a day job, but sure, independent wealth (or a nest-egg, or a supportive spouse, or some source of passive income) makes the transition to writing full time easier, assuming it can be done at all. The same can be (and has been) said of founding a startup, or getting an advanced degree.
Actually, I liked SolveSpace so much that I tried to open a Reddit sub for it. You're invited to join!

I got stuck trying to create a bracket, very similar to the bracket tutorial. I was unable to properly set the location of two of the holes symmetrically. It was just an exercise to learn the app, if you're really interested in helping I can try to reproduce it and see exactly what the issue was.

I'm certain that the problem was with my own understanding of SolveSpace constraints, not with SolveSpace itself. At the time I was deciding which CAD application to marry, not trying to solve a specific issue for which I had a need.
"Any provision of service to distribute or maintain the WeChat or TikTok mobile applications, constituent code, or application updates through an online mobile application store in the U.S."

So basically Apple users are screwed because of their strict control of their OS, but Android users will be fine, because you can just go to http://www.wechat.com/ and hit "Direct Download" and bypass the Google Play store entirely.

Yay Android!
I don't have any specific knowledge, but my general impression was that malware was a very real issue that nobody could come up with a realistic response to. Other than that, it seems like Send was a breakout success.

Dog whistle is a useful term, because it gives someone the power to redefine what has been said to mean anything that you would like.

E.g. on NPR you hear talking heads speak about “staunch conservatives” like Bill Barr. This term is now a dog whistle on the left that means ‘white nationalist’
I like the idea of an extendable video chat, I think google (and maybe Zoom) is doing it for corporate. It's nice to see this for personal use.

One extension i'd like is a "spacially aware" video chat where you can move around. i.e. you could only clearly hear the x people around you, and have the rest as background buzz. This would mimic real life gatherings more. Is that something that you could do with this platform?
Awesome reading into everything. It's hard to find such analysis in A$PL related news - as the fanatism of some users seem to be the reason why they do all that evil.
> The size record is held by a specimen that was 30 feet across and weighed more than 600 pounds

What?!? That's incredible! It would be so incredibly terrifying to see one of those in its natural habitat.

I tried searching for more information about the largest one found, but I didn't find much. The only information I could find was that it was found on a beach in British Columbia. I was really hoping for a picture of it.

Hacker News has a hide button that you can use to remove a post from your front page. It works quite well.
You're not entirely wrong, but I think the endpoints you're picking obscure the problem. Few people mourn the loss of ethnonationalist discussion, but Facebook's Overton window is going to exclude a lot of mainstream right-wing and centrist thought that goes beyond identity politics. (For example, I wouldn't advise Facebook employees to tell their coworkers about opinions like "welfare programs are bad" or "all responsible people should own a firearm".) That's not just "fodder for the pundits" - it's a real problem if huge swaths of the political spectrum are unwelcome as employees of a major communications platform.
Great little takeaways. The early bits remind me of my own job history — I also worked on a fish processing barge, using a forklift and being constantly stymied by the elevator bottleneck. The next job I did, I also got myself fired to protest what I discovered to be an illegal internship.

I think Elisa learned more from the experiences than I did though, she seems like a very thoughtful person.

I googled "why do octopuses die so young" and came up with this article: https://www.sciencealert.com/mother-octopus-senescence-death...

> The maturation of the reproductive organs appears to be driven by secretions from the optic gland. These same secretions, it seems, inactivate the digestive and salivary glands, which leads to the octopus starving to death.

> In 1977, researchers removed this gland and found that the octopus' mothering instincts disappeared. She abandoned her eggs, started feeding again, and went on to live a much longer life.

As a reproductive strategy for an (arguably) intelligent animal ... this makes me feel sad. However there's plenty of octopuses around so in evolutionary terms it's a strategy that works.

As for the males - and this is the point at which my anthropomorphic 'yuk' reflex goes into overdrive - they die soon after their first successful sexual encounter. Males store sperm in one of their arms. For some species, 'sex' involves detaching that arm and giving it to the female to keep for later use. Then they wander off and die. Possibly from disappointment.
The difference here is that US users' data is (allegedly) being collected by a non-US entity. That's not a good thing either. If I were to pick between US collecting my info, or China, I guess I'd go with US... but that's picking the lesser of the 2 evils?

WTF? Evil.
They don't just need resources to fight the lawsuit, they also need the resources to take the hit of essentially being cut off from half of their North American customers. How many companies do you think can do that for a long time over years long law suits even if they're fairly large?

The lawsuit is a drop in the bucket compared the sustained economic damage that Apple causes by simply turning the light switch off. And this is where the size matters, because Apple can easily sever every individual developer, while the reverse is not true.
They are already challenging them in a lawsuit, right?

Apple is taking 30% of those lootboxes and skin purchases so Apple is the exact same level of scum as the shitty games.
The Apple game arcade will be just an alternative to make more money and avoid the "free game with ads issue" I will be shocked if Apple bans in game purchases.

So I am not sure what Apple and lootboxes argument is about(since Apple gladly endorses the practice with an open wallets)
No, I think it's just weird :)

This is horrible!

I have a very clear line in the sand for this stuff. I don't mind Gatekeeper and SIP because if you know what you're doing, disabling them is painless, and you aren't punished for doing it. Disabling SIP doesn't add a constant watermark to the desktop, and the setting doesn't expire after a set amount of time or after updating. The OS says "okay, cool, you clearly know what you're doing so we'll get out of your way now," and I don't have to think about it again until I buy a new computer.

That's why, then. America has a long and really terrible history of anti-black racism.

Neato, "negro" means "the color black" in Spanish. Now go on the English language news in the USA and use it to describe a black person, see how well that goes for you lmao.

In Islam, the bank has to own the house 100% if they want to sell it. You are not allowed to sell item that isn’t yours in Islam. If the bank purchased the house via leasing and that it isn’t 100% owned by them, they are not allowed to sell it to anyone at all. You can not sell loan for loan in Islam.

It is similar to a seller buying some cars for $10k each, and sell them on their dealership for $15k each. They can provide installment payment for the buyer and sell it for $20k each and they can pay it per month for $500. The difference between price is not loan/interest, its their profits.
What makes you think Apple would have ‘easily’ given them a few cut?

There is nothing altruistic about anything Epic is doing.
In situations where definitive proof of any clear reason does not exist we are left with the facts presented to us and probabilities.

Again...this has nothing to do with politics. I am merely looking at things from the view of an outside observer.

There are many more valid reasons to limit Chinese influence and "data gathering" but they are largely (at this point) being ignored. This does not begin to dip into the actual "political" reasons both countries involved have going on.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that detail. This makes the anti-proliferation position of the US from the '70s to this day even more perplexing.

Do you have any insight/thoughts on why the US made this push to prevent reprocessing, if it's not actually possible to use that process to build a warhead? Is it possible that they discovered a pathway in their nuclear tests that has remained classified? Or could it be an error/overly cautious policy position that just hasn't been updated since the '70s?
I had built (with a couple of other people) a TCP/IP stack for the Z80 in the late 90s. And a small HTTP server to go with it. It had a weird CGI like interface to call some subroutine for a path. The intention was to use it in some kind of industrial equipment where users could directly point their browser to this HTTP server and get status updates. A super simple IOT, if you will. This was actually for Zilog itself who were positioning the (already faded) chip for embedded networking.

It was perfect for such applications!

Good memories.

This isn't an episode of Star Trek—we can't just take the "higher road" and expect the plot of reality to give us a win.

Anyway folx, don't invest in a "hot startup" you've never heard of.
I can only suppose it means 100% less memory consumption by Vue, and then Vue somehow frees 20% of memory from other running processes, which would lead to some pretty interesting results.

> because it gives someone the power to redefine what has been said to mean anything that you would like.

Like you did in this comment, to the word "dog whistle?" Let me guess, SJWs are the enemy of the people?

What shall we call it when a white supremacist waggles his eyebrows and says "those people" then? Willful ignorance is painful to witness.

Maybe if staunch conservatives stop being white nationalists, or stopped catering to white nationalists so overtly, or actually spoke out against their white nationalist base (instead of "both sides"ing them), people wouldn't associate staunch conservatism with white nationalism? Just a thought.
That was 8 days ago, still no comment.
I have a fairly large/complex SaaS platform built with Vue 3 composition API. Can maybe shed some light.

A while ago I wrote the same component in Vue 2 and Vue 3 as an example of one versus the other:

https://codesandbox.io/s/bold-shamir-uqm0b?file=/src/compone...

https://codesandbox.io/s/bold-shamir-uqm0b?file=/src/compone...

If you meant more from a conceptual standpoint -- the usage patterns with Vue 3 is pretty nearly identical for most people. You just replace "data()" property with some "reactive()" state value in setup (or "ref()" for single values).

You CAN write things like generic hooks/"useXXX()" helpers, but you likely won't wind up with a ton of those.

Also, about the reference passing: it doesn't actually really work like that. If you pass a "ref()" or "reactive()" value as a prop to a child component, and you mutate it there, it doesn't propagate to the parent.

Vue will throw this warning:

[Vue warn]: Avoid mutating a prop directly since the value will be overwritten whenever the parent component re-renders. Instead, use a data or computed property based on the prop's value. Prop being mutated: "someRef"

That sounds like group selectionism. In what circumstance would this be deleterious to the propagation of that individual's genes?

total is known Int, so there is no need to run-time look up `+=` (which python does).

xs is known List[Int] so there is no need to use an iterator protocol to obtain sequential elements (ie., it can be known to be sequential in memory).

The problem is that if python were statically typed in a way which matched its semantics, everything would be profoundly polymorphic. Almost nothing is monomorphized.

Lot's and lot's of trivial optimisations are available if the core team is happy to add time to the compiler phase.

The other thing people need to really think about is their role.

If you are the source of designs, use whatever you want to use. Downstream users will either need STEP / DXF / PDF / STL, or they will have your version or newer, or their system can import, or use a Parasolid, ACIS, whatever type of file.

If you are a downstream user then you need to know where your work is coming from and whether you can price software in. On this note, buying into an annual license of Fusion or OnShape is a great translation service as both of those will write out respectable STEP and Parasolid files. Translation licenses are super expensive.

Or, you need to invest your skills into systems that are adept at non-native data. These skills are extremely high value BTW. Getting them is great for a resume.

Then price and purchase accordingly.

For learning / personal use, get the academic licenses.
