Microsoft has been trying to "boil the frog" for a long time now, but that has always failed, and it will fail as long as Windows remains relevant as a gaming platform. MS might be the captain of the ship, but they never owned the ship, despite their best attempts. For gamers, the current power equilibrium on the Windows platform with multiple competing stores is pretty much perfect. Even Microsoft caved in and started to offer their games on Steam too instead of insisting on making them Windows Store exclusives.

> It feels like the only way to change a career is 1) get a job doing exactly what you were doing before (e.g. React dev), 2) at that job, do something tangential for a while (e.g. UX design) and then 3) with that experience, go and find a new job in the new field.

I've noticed the same and would also be interested in hearing how she transitioned. It might have to do with how in demand employees are at the time of hiring. In a tighter job market employers are more picky.
I went straight to looking for code samples. Hence, "figured out". And I thought I was clear that transpiling to C made sense to me for this space. You seem to be reading something in my comment that I didn't intend to be there. Apologies for any unintended odd tone.

> Tech companies have made clear that they don’t like the idea of blocking apps without a more organized policy process, and have suggested that they see this as a First Amendment issue, said Adam Segal, a cybersecurity expert at the Council on Foreign Relations.

Yet they're both perfectly fine with blocking apps for arbitrary reasons citing "app store policy".

Lets be blunt here, whether you agree with the Tiktok issue or not, for Apple and Google this is purely a money issue. They are probably afraid this will increase support for third party app stores among the masses
It has deep ties to Windows, which makes it very powerful, on Windows.

Windows users seem to be fond of its syntax, which is understandable considering how starved of languages they'd been for the past 40 years.

So, I could totally believe that this is mostly a political gesture, and Russia is doing this mostly for propaganda purposes. But, honestly, even given that, I found the tone of the article to be biased and speculative, in an anti-Russia way. FUD should not be the main component of an article in a medical journal. Give us some facts about the situation, or if you don't have any facts to give, write a shorter article.
Apple reviews apps anyway, so that last bit could be enforced at the review stage.

Android? You're right. I'm not seeing how they enforce that? Of course, one obvious solution is to force all the app stores to have some sort of review process that verifies all of the apps are functioning in a manner consistent with, um, "US government policy". Just depends on how far the guys in the Trump administration want to go.
Hard dependencies on what? The new BSP release for the next-gen silicon on a new operating system?

Trust me, I was there in the nineties when hard dependencies proved unscalable. The only thing that has really changed since then is the scale (it's gone up orders of magnitude) and the flood of people who have no idea what goes on under the hood.
Note that we haven't yet introduced .lua configuration capabilities (that's a project branch off to the side), but it does certainly make modifying menu entries and other fun stuff a lot more palatable in my experience.

This talk was such a treat. After all the carefuly crafted hype from Zuck and the gang, Carmack threw huge bucket of cold water on everything. I think it's just wonderful that he's allowed to speak so openly, about the things he's proud of, the things he thinks are failures, internal politics, the possibilities for improvement, the real hard physical limits VR is running into, and his growing pessimism for the future of VR. I could really hear it in his talk why he moved on to spend more time on his next passion.

Since it sounded to me like the low hanging mobile VR fruit has been picked, I went ahead and pre-ordered my very first HMD afterwards. Time to see for myself if this is the computing future or an evolutionary dead end.

Apple Watch is a good example of a recent "blue ocean" innovation. FaceID is a recent usability innovation of the kind Apple has historically been known for. I think they're still doing good work.

As long as the named source is “Seth Rich” and not “The Russians,” presumably.
Only one side is allowed to use anecdotal evidence.
I think it depends on which countries specifically in Asia, and which demographic group within those countries.

As far as I know, as part of it, it's definitely dominant in the Chinese Diaspora.
eugene3306 summarized it best: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24512974. As someone fairly familiar with Gamaleya I agree completely, they are known to be responsible for some "bullshit-micyn" drugs as we call it here, so I'd hesitate to be an early adopter for their vaccine.

It might be a bit more pronounced in Ruby, but I doubt this doesn't happen a lot in javascript / python / whatever language actually.
You always better have at least a couple of seniors in each team that go over every PR and maintain the project's health. No getting around that no matter the language.
Now languages like php / ruby / js are notorious for their low code quality but that's less about the language and more about how and where they're used: tons of startups, young people in the beginning of their careers, pressure to find market fit etc. I'd be surprised if .net / java / python projects don't turn into crap under these conditions. The worst code I've produced was written like that and I really doubt the tech stack would have made any big difference in the quality of code I produced.
I don't disagree with you, this actually sounds like the beginning of a super interesting conversation.

Can you share some examples of the generics problem and "defunctionalizing the continuation"?

Does google's `any` package help with the generics problem you describe? (Acknowledging that it's obviously clunky)

Certainly Epic is in a place that other Apple customers are not, in having the user base to profitably run a competing App Store. But I haven't heard any where that Epic wants an exception and fuck everyone else. Apple might do that if it shut Epic up, but they could also make TOS changes that made their customer relationships unilaterally less one-sided, and that would be less "exception" than "change". (at which point "crying" might better be described as "arguing" or even "protesting")

I don't particularly like either company here, but Apple using its market power to inhibit competition certainly sounds like the bigger problem.
It’s possible they may be forced to detect by IP, at which point using a VPN may be necessary.
Forgive my ignorance, but how does this favour Trump politically?
Accept that one of the many costs (or benefits?) of liberty is non-reciprocation.
I have conflicted feelings about this but I do think that the 'spin' is poor. China doesn't allow Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. behind the great firewall. Why not just say we are blocking their pseudo-government social apps to be at economic/market access parity. It seems accurate and fair. Spinning it as national security, while potentially true (really don't know), seems like an unnecessary narrative.
If you were being cynical (and to be honest I don't think this is exclusively what happened here), you could view it purely as a short term marketing campaign.

It generated lots of positive reporting about Firefox, associating them with: launching a new product, encryption, freedom and ease of use. It also had an element of virality, in that a passionate Firefox user could use the service to send to someone who doesn't use Firefox and forcibly introduce the brand to them.

All of this helps to build brand and mindshare, which, in an ideal world, leads to more installations and more ad revenue.

There are some comments about how they should focus on their browser. As much as I'd like to say otherwise, I'd argue that activities like this have a much better chance of pulling people over from Chrome than ticking off a few bug reports, or improving the certificate workflow for extensions.
I'm probably in the minority because I never use tabs much ---- I prefer multiple separate (overlapping) windows that I can size and arrange as desired, because I often use the information from multiple sites simultaneously. I've seen a lot of others who flip back and forth between two tabs many times, trying to compare them, and have never thought they could open two windows and put them next to each other. Of course, I've been using browsers before they had tabs, so it could be experience, but I wonder if the current "single content" model has severely degraded users' ability to compare and contrast different sources of information.
And iPhones with TikTok pre-installed are already going up on eBay.
A public hardware predecessor to Nitro can be seen in the "SmartNIC" academic research in several generations of https://NetFPGA.org hardware. Today, hardware co-processors can be prototyped with an FPGA and open toolchains, see Ulf Frisk's work on DMA-based attacks, https://youtube.com/watch?v=5DbQr3Zo-XY

Meanwhile, AMD uses a closed-source Arm coprocessor (PSP) for SEV features like VM memory encryption, inside their x86 CPUs. Intel has upcoming hardware with dedicated x86 silicon to run an Intel-signed TDX (Trust Domain Extensions) hypervisor for VM security features, https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Intel-TD...

Kudos to Annapurna for blazing the Nitro trail. Their founder has since pioneered NVME-over-TCP storage virtualization, with optional FPGA acceleration from Lightbits Labs, code upstreamed to Linux. Hopefully the next few years will bring more open-hardware interposers for storage & network paths, for academic research and commercial prototyping.
I don't think so. There was no claim that other companies are out-innovating Apple, only that Apple is not innovating fast enough for their opinion of how fast Apple should be innovating.
Per the bottom of the article, Democrat was changed to democratic. The former frankly seems more accurate
Bloat accelerationism? I suggest we start packing email to the gills with Javascript next.
TikTok is a fad app, WeChat is the actual important app being targeted.
Rogan has frequently stated that Spotify places no editorial restrictions on his episodes so it will be interesting to see what happens if Spotify chooses to remove some episodes based on content.

That being said, I wish they would provide more episodes of the transphobic content. The single episode cited with the author of the book about trans male teens I don’t think is transphobic. I’ve listened to the episode and don’t understand the complaints. The author researched the topic and interviews many subjects and presents data. That’s discussion and research, not transphobia.

I think the challenge I have in these topics is that we’re in an age where there are lots of people with voices, and there are complaints about everything. It’s hard to filter out unreasonable complaints and determine what’s important.

This is balanced against genuinely needing to protect and empower vulnerable populations where there are people advocating and perpetuating violence against vulnerable populations.

But there needs to be some “evidence bundle protocol” where we can collect all the stuff that supports claims to help people accept or reject.
Other approaches aren’t more complicated, and this is worse even if you never need to send books in batch because it tightly couples “book” to the Amazon AWS SDK client. Anything that interacts with books now has to take a dependency on the Amazon SDK. A much simpler, better design would be to just call client.buyBook(book) or client.buyBooks(books).

But more importantly, my point is that you have your definition of whether this is OOP or not but lots of OOP proponents will say that this is not true OOP.

On the other hand, Apple has a real unclean hands argument. Yeah, Apple is clearly harming Epic, but Epic willfully broke the terms of their contract, and Apple is allowed to walk away from the contract for any reason (or no reason), taking all of Epic's code signing permissions with them.

From my understanding they are both blocked (or atleast not available on chinese app stores). I believe imessage & facetime would work, except my relatives don't have iPhones.

Realistically, if it came down to it my plan was to buy a VPN to china, and if that wasn't good enough to unlock wechat, to send relatives an iPhone. A simple app store block is a lot easier to get around, luckily.
It sounds like you're keeping a list. What's on your list so far?
The lawsuit is only round 1. Providing a nice demonstration of apple abusing their market position could result in regulatory action.
I thought I'd reply to this with a more direct link to the examples, but ... you're not wrong at all, even after a bunch of navigation through the documentation I cannot find a single self-contained program. There are some one- or two-line examples that give it a little flavour, but nothing significant. The full program examples are zipped up and I'm not going to bother to download those.
The problem with magnetic tracking is distance. Unless the motion you're tracking is in a relatively small space, you need a terribly powerful magnet to overcome background EMI, and that introduces problems of its own.

Adding compute power to compensate is a much easier problem to solve.

"Biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) is the highest level of biosafety precautions" A real escape seems pretty unlikely.

If it was deliberate why release it in China why not somewhere else? If it had to be in China for some magical reason then why not test on say the Uighurs?

Also add in things like Ebola and Hiv probably being linked to bushmeat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushmeat), Small pox, the bubonic plague plus a bunch of others from rodents.

Outside of better evidence the "escape" theory belongs to B-Grade Netflix movies and conspiracy websites.
You don’t avoid using JS at all but only use it where it benefits the user. For example, the users benefit from having those forms having nice validation, dynamic lookups, etc. but they don’t benefit from using a vDOM on top of the far more efficient browser DOM or loading an entire general purpose templating framework instead of just using the DOM to update an existing form.

Those are things which developers do because they think it’s easier than learning the web standards or looks better on their résumé and as long as you avoid measuring actual performance you can sustain these beliefs for a long time even while your users are seeing performance below the level of a 2000s Rails app with worse error handling.
Well how do they install "apps" on their computers right now without app stores? You know, there is really nothing magical about phones that requires them to need app-stores or marketplaces for software. Other than we've been putting ourselves into a corner that makes it necessary for them to be an ultra-secure computing device as opposed to our desktop devices.
He wants Assange to say that it wasn’t the Russians. Therefore there would have been “no collusion!!”
Just fill that field with crap. Not required to get the files sent.
I'm curious about the same thing, unless maybe he's gambling that it won't be completely tied to Russia. I suppose it could be that if it is something damaging, he can release the information and use it politically, and if not he'll try and keep it secret. This is a total guess though.
I'm assuming both of them will replace "download from Play Store" with "download the apk" if/when they get removed from the stores. That's what Fortnite does already.
NZ is an outlier in a lot of ways, to include population size and distance. The also cracked down on firearms ownership recently, too -- #1 choice for suicidal men.
The timing of this is what seems fishy to me. As the article says, they banned a competing payments app just before one of its features would've benefited from the Indian Premier League (popular cricket competition in India).

I'm all for setting high bars (or even preventing) anything gambling-related, but this could've been done a lot earlier and with sufficient public warning. Regular people, especially those who use Paytm for day-to-day stuff and aren't tech-savvy enough to switch to something else quickly are going to be hurt from this. This reeks of high-handedness at best and active sabotaging of competition at worst.
Right, what limiting principle makes government restricted areas like Area 51 or even Federal/State/Local legislature floors not violate the “fundamental right to travel” and “speech of any kind”, that also renders resident-restricted public parks a violation of those same rights?

Also, do the merits of the case change if the plaintiff was a white store owner? Why is their race relevant?
My mistake. I left out the investment firms like Sequoia Capital, General Atlantic and Coatue, which would put majority ownership in U.S. hands. That’s what the Trump administration wants all along anyway.
If it's not "Russia" it's going to be a big embarrassment to many of his opponents. And worst case, even if it was Russia, it would still make him look good to be the one who got this confession from Assange.
Except this fight is not about percentages themselves. It's not about whether it's 30%, 20%, 5% or 1%. It's about the fact that there's no free market and that Apple dictates content, prices and censors at their own whim and there cannot be free market competition to them on one of the most popular computing platforms.

Capping the commission does nothing to solve this - opening up a competition when someone else can provide better terms, vetting or different type of content (now deemed unacceptable to Apple political outlook or prudish stance) is the solution.

It also makes Apple actually work harder and start thinking about what ACTUALLY means to build a secure, user respecting OS instead of copping out by randomly rejecting app updates.

Why is Spotify Spectrum ERG the authority on misiformation and good faith? Maybe they are mistaken about some things.

How could we have an effective federal government if the execution of code is somehow exempt from their oversight? That would be a giant loophole.

Also, pretty certain the execution of a worm or other malicious software is likewise illegal, whether it be by the execution or the result.
Bad behaviour by some other third party does not justify bad acts by Apple.
>> Extensive usage of the projects helped us resolve memory leaks.

Hu? I thought Rust was memory safe? At least that's how it's promoted.

What's the point of Rust when one of the flagship project (Actix) had memory leaks for years?
It actually seems like the most politically-neutral offer he can reasonably make. Many principled people want to see Assange released from his political prosecution, but the Russia narrative, though basically dead at this point, can still be an effective bludgeon or pretense for action: if the pardon is executed haphazardly, and without deference to the aggrieved party (the Democrats), it could be undermined and become worse than nothing.

A lot of people are still salty that Assange did journalism that exposed Hillary Clinton's wrongdoing, even people who idolized him until 2016 for his excellent work on America's foreign conflicts, so it's really hard to navigate this labyrinth and get away with doing the right thing.
What are your thoughts? What would be different then?
Yes! I completely agree that this is a free speech issue, but that's also my (primary) issue with not allowing side-loading on iOS.

This is a utterly wrong about what "public square" means and a simple Wikipedia check can point you to some Supreme Court rulings on the matter.
> Yet they're both perfectly fine with blocking apps for arbitrary reasons citing "app store policy".

Phrased less disingenuously: Private companies are fine making decisions based on their own internal policies, as opposed to blocking certain apps based on nebulous requests/pseudo-demands from the government.
I don’t doubt the conclusion, but does the 6% figure account for the energy cost at the data center and network nodes, or is it just the power for the user’s devices? (I’m a bit too lazy to skim through that 600 page PDF)

I don't think Epic is standing up for 'us'. They have their own self-interests in mind, and they stand to gain a boatload of money (from developers like 'us') if they can get a victory.
The way to do that is to make the manufacturer responsible for the mandatory recycling.

That works to make the manufacturer price in that externality, but it also likely leads to lease arrangements instead of outright purchase.
Sure, Google tying way too many things to a single Google account is exactly the same antipattern. I'm not sure if this is supposed to refute my comment. If so, this rhetorical antipattern is called "whataboutism" ;)
