> The app won’t somehow become any more used after it’s removed because it’ll be, well, removed.

On the contrary: it can be distributed through TestFlight, and potentially even available in AltStore. If added to AltStore, it would make that platform much more well known. In addition, if users install it from the App Store right now, it's signed and won't disappear or expire after any period of time. AltStore, TestFlight builds, etc., all require routine maintenance to stop from expiring. The iOS App Store release, however, will continue to function indefinitely, even if Apple pulls it from sale.

The RED patent is for compressed raw video. Uncompressed raw video (like Sigma FP) is unencumbered by the patent, but the file sizes are huge.

RED were pioneers in the early days of digital cinematography but now they are slowing things down. Can't really understand how they got a patent for something so simple. Even Apple lost the patent lawsuit to use compressed raw video in Prores RAW without paying royalties RED.

I'm hoping Blackmagic RAW would take off beyond Blackmagic cameras, but so far only Atomos has picked it up. (BM and Atomos both use FPGAs in the ISP so maybe that's what you need to process it realtime)

Check out the Polyform Project's Small Business License. It has a threshold of 100 employees and contractors, and 1,000,000 USD in annual revenue.

Of course, the OSI's Open Source Definition precludes these kinds of restrictions, so it isn't "open source" by that definition.

I'd say this is a defective system. Commerce and industry embraced JIT sourcing and long supply chains while either being ignorant of, or worse, willfully ignoring the fact it falls apart if every link in the chain before you doesn't execute reliably.

They may not have pictured a global pandemic when they did the numbers, but anyone with any length of hands on experience would have said "we've had some (industry-specific) situation which caused a 3-month supply kink before, and it nearly broke us..."

Honestly, I'd love to hear from businesses/economic planners in places where inconsistent supply chains are the norm. Would someone from, say, Iran, or who grew up in postwar Europe, look at a business plan that said "when we close the store at night, there should be nothing left on the shelves, and we expect the trucks to come overnight with replacements" and cringe or laugh?
> The GNU project makes it very clear that they are striving for the freedom of the user to modify and adapt the software that they use. So every time a GNU tool is used in the private back-end part of a SaaS webapp, that's directly opposite to the spirit of the GNU project, because you, the end user, have no way of modifying said SaaS.

The point of the AGPL is to close the loophole that allows this abuse. Just switch to it for your own projects.

Well, in that case could you better define "apolitical"? For example, could you give some indication towards a maximal level of political inactivity you would accept before someone becomes evil? I literally don't know how to answer that question, especially if "not being political is political", the self-referential nature of which makes it rather difficult to know.

I maintain several Nix packages, and I agree that for some edge cases it can be a pain.

Another annoying thing is that NixPkgs has developed some technical debt, with some packages being perennially broken. Guix is smaller, but much cleaner in this regard. Julia can't be used in Nix, and many Bioconductor packages are broken.

However, I feel like the existence of FHSUserenvs needs to be better advertised and documented. These give you the ability to easily install unpatched software that assumes a regular (FHS) Unix filesystem layout (/bin, /lib...).

Still, I think the benefits of using Nix and NixOS surpass the drawbacks right now. I use Nix in dozens of machines. It is, along with Arch, my favorite distribution. Both sit at two local maxima of the design space. Declarative-functional and imperative with a minimal layer of tooling.
I guess the first visit is different than subsequent ones--like never being able to enter the same river twice as the saying goes.
> I eventually ended up getting a Surface Go, which is quirky is some regards, but supports Linux really well and is a real computer, not a locked appliance.

Doesn’t have working cameras though, right? I was looking into the Surface Go a bit as a Linux tablet recently, but it sounded like I wouldn’t have a working webcam (which I use fairly often these days for videoconferencing) and I’d need to install a kernel fork since some of the hardware isn’t supported yet in mainline Linux.

I’d be glad to be wrong about these, since a lightweight Linux tablet (especially with LTE support!) would be amazing. My criteria for hardware that supports Linux really well these days though is more “works out of the box” and less “requires tinkering.”
Yes. Yes. First assume malice. Then any wild explanation will do.
This is SUCH an American thing.

This whole mentality of getting credit to buy pretty much everything amazes me. Heck, half the time buying from American companies they don't take actual money, only credit.

And then this, of course. The entire system is designed so that people are ALWAYS in debt, and then the hammer falls hard if for any reason one can't pay.
Alex Trebek was a favorite victim of Longmont Potion Castle. But what always stood out about those calls was Trebek’s kindness, his common sense, and his amazing refusal to lose his temper amidst the tsunami of diabolical absurdity that is an LPC call. Trebek was one of the very, very few call recipients who “won” at Longmont Potion Castle.
Sound is weird and I agree it is a subjective experience.

I’ve done some unscientific blind tests with nice modern class Ds on people who avowedly think all digital amplification is trash. 9 times out of 10 the reaction has been something like “hmm, how lovely, now when are you going to show me the digital amp?” After I tell them what it is, it becomes “oh yeah, I can hear it now. It’s fine I guess for casual listeners but clearly lacks X.”

People consistently report higher levels of satisfaction with more expensive wine versus cheaper one, even if it’s just the same wine rebottled. They’re not lying, our perceptions and preconceived notions genuinely affect the we experience reality.

It is still not really clear because you haven't really said yes or no.

But I am going to take a guess and say that you agree that:

it definitely requires more than "0 lines written by a backend developer" to do something like "taps into data that' only available from an external service etc."?

This is a yes or no question here. It should be pretty simple. Just say yes or no.

Since you keep misdirection though, I am going to assume that the answer is Yes, you agree with this original statement.

> Like I’m saying long live the backend job

So then you agree that it require more than "0 lines written by a backend developer" to do something like "taps into data that' only available from an external service etc.".

Awesome. You agree with this statement.
One thing LLVM bitcode still can’t do is retain information about preprocessor directives, eg any platform specific code for AVX2 vs SSE4 etc. So unless you aim to write intrinsic free code it’s usually less performance/reliable to rely on compiler automatic vectorisation, which results in worse codegen overall.
I thought taxation was socialism :)
I can't overstate how revolutionary Sketch was when it came out.

We were a small webdev shop and were pretty early adopters. Back then it was standard practice for designers to work in Photoshop and hand over full website designs in flat .png format. Us devs would then struggle to convert those designs into HTML and CSS templates pretty much by eye.

Sketch changed all this.

1. The price. We got early licences for something crazy like £35. This meant it was possible for all of the devs to have a licence even if we were only using it to consume files created by the designers. There is no way we could afford this with Adobe.

2. Because the developers were viewing the designs in app we could inspect and get exact values for things like spacings, colors and fonts. I can't describe how hard it is to get exact font, font size & font weight by eye if you don't come from a design background.

3. At some point they added the ability to just right click something and export the style as CSS. This was never good enough to just paste into your stylesheet but by using it as a base sped up development massively.

4. It was built for the web and mobile. All the designers I worked with came from a print background so it made sense their tool suite of choice was Adobe. I can't get my head around how they designed websites in Photoshop for so many years.

5. The interface was incredibly simple and intuitive. If you remember it, contrast how simple the 3D software SketchUp was compared to say Blender. As a developer I've never invested time to learn Photoshop but Sketch you know after 10 minutes of playing with. I still use it today for my hobby projects.

Partly because of 5 I get a little irritated when they add new features. I've seen this happen with so much software. You earn some money and hire some developers and so it follows you have to add features to keep them busy. I'd be over the moon if they just said "we're going to have a feature freeze for two or three years while we work on developing the simplest most intuitive interface possible for doing complex SVG manipulations"
> Consistent enforcement of Apple’s incorrect interpretation would require the removal of all scripting apps, including many of the most popular applications in the App Store and some of Apple’s own applications.

The problem with "consistent enforcement" is

1) the guidelines are purposefully vague

2) there are reports of unwritten internal rules that are different from the public rules

3) I suspect that the amount of revenue that a company brings through their app also affects how rules are applied

But, it's their platform and they can do whatever the hell the way with no (legal) consequences at all.
Last year I spent a couple months trying out a variety of video editing software. I really wanted something I could run on Linux.

TL;DR: I ended up running DaVinci Resolve on Windows, and it is fantastic!

First: If you want to make a video for Youtube, you probably have to use Resolve. The average video there has pretty high production value, and if you care at all about having views, you probably need the capabilities that Resolve brings.

Technically, Resolve runs on Linux, but I could never get it working. I spent a couple solid days and trashed several installations attempting it. It basically just works under Windows. I did run into a problem with my video files sometimes skipping frames and giving me black frames in the output and performance problems when editing. Using ffmpeg to convert the files from my camera into ProRes format resolved all those problems.

The thing I really like about Resolve is that you won't outgrow it. If you just want to take a few videos and stitch them together? No problem. Want to throw a title sequence on it, or make the transitions fancy? No problem. Have someone walking in front of your camera when you're filming your son's play and want to cut to video from someone else's camera? No problem. That was an actual thing I did, BTW.

Oh, and it's free for all these uses, even with 4K video output.

Plus, there's TONS of resources on youtube teaching you how to do what you want to do. Not everything is easy, like adding a fancy object-tracking call-out took me an hour or two in this experiment, but I was basically just following a tutorial and other options I had looked at it wasn't even possible. https://youtu.be/3csMd-UUSIg

Lightworks was my second-favorite, worked great under Linux, but to output 4K video you had to pay a software subscription. I just couldn't bring myself to add a $25/mo payment that I knew I would go months without using sometimes. You can buy it outright, but it's $500.

I tried toy videos using a number of the other NLEs, IIRC: KDENlive, Olive, Pitivi, Shotcut. They were all pretty clunky but could do the job. If I just wanted to cut a couple simple videos with nothing fancy, and didn't have my Windows box available to run it, probably any of them would be fine.
A fair bit. Some examples:

* authority over schools and the school system is almost entirely Kantonal

* tax authority is mostly regulated on a communal and kantonal level. the feds just get sort of a fixed share of what the kanton collects, but it’s itemized separately on each tax bill

* authority over all roads, with some concessions regarding highways

* autonomy over how kantonal subdivisions are organized

* like in the US or Germany, Kantons have their own justices and police departments

while that may all sound kinda time, keep int mind that we have 26 kantons and 8M inhabitants. So, if you compare to the US, it’s probably more like a county than a state, size wise.

The Netherlands problem is that the (central) government actually doesnt have the right to legislate anything like this, so it keeps sending out strongly worded recommendations that can and are interpreted any way people feel fit. Which makes things very unclear for everyone.

They've been working on giving themselves any formal power since march, but nothing has gone through yet. That's why I think many are dying for them to make some actual laws and be done with it, even if they're strict.

This isn’t sustainable.

Software developers can’t build on a foundation that is constantly, capriciously shifting. This on top of the App Store's already-onerous restrictions and the fact that it’s the only practical way to get your software on one of the world's largest computing platforms has already engendered a deep antipathy [1] among Apple developers, and there are no signs it’s getting better. Something has to give.

huh? "recently"?

> Twist lets you set up a time off status that mutes all notifications from the app, changes your avatar to a “vacation” avatar, and lets your teammates know when you’ll return.

so does Slack, and has been this way, for a while.
And Slack additionally has functionality which mutes notifications outside of work hours -- great for enforcing work-life balance.

It is interesting how rumours spread and that is why I ask always ask for a link.
I’ve tried this personally, and we attempted it as a team professionally and in both cases the juice was deemed not worth the squeeze. In particular, we were constantly packaging low-level transitive dependencies for C projects, and ultimately you had to not only know how to build your own package, but also any package for your entire dependency tree. If your dependency tree doesn’t involve any C dependencies (or if Nix definitions already exist for them) then you probably won’t run into so many issues (which is likely to be the case for Go, Haskell, etc—languages that don’t have a heavy emphasis on C dependencies and probably those that can be statically linked) but for Python, Node, etc you will probably have problems. None of this is to speak about the dearth of documentation or the difficulty using nixpkgs as a reference.

Trump lawsuit site to report “rejected votes” leaked voter data

Yeah, QAnon is a real shame.

But that's an interesting thing for you to say. I agree, it's a shame the black republicans that were running for congress didn't win. But they didn't lose to... white republicans. They lost to democrats. Some of them were probably even white! And I doubt that republicans didn't vote for them because of their skin color. So that was a real interesting thing for you to say.

Biomorphic Structural Batteries for Robotics
The EU probably has the worst system in the world, at least by total impact.

> "every year, the European Commission makes recommendations on the Total Allowable Catch (TAC) to the Council of Ministers based on scientific evidence. The Council of Ministers, however, often disregards these recommendations because, as a rule, the priority for these ministers seems to protect jobs in the short term, not to maintain sustainability. As a consequence, the annual catch agreed to by the Council of Ministers is generally around 48 per cent more than the scientists’ recommended figure. The fact that 88 per cent of European fish stocks, measured against maximum sustainable yield (MSY), are overexploited is due in part to these excessively high catch quotas."
