The problem I see is that distributed collective action, like a bunch of people all choosing to support one contender against the duopoly, isn't achievable by the open source ecosystem. It's fragmentary by design and by personality. So there are a lot of things you "can" do, but no turn-key solution I can buy from a store or download from GitLab.

The other problem is that you have to choose between hardware quality and customization, because hardware is locked down and there isn't enough economic air left in the room for a third player to be able to invest enough to compete.

As for not looking much different from Android, the key difference would be where the control lies, and what the mindset is around control. You should have a robust code signing and containerization/permissions system, but those should be in the hands of users. With Android every single app installs with permission to portscan every network you connect it to. You will have an app store, but the user will come first, not the ad network.
I switched away from Gmail about twelve years ago. It was not hard. I did get my own domain. What I did was I started forwarding my email there. I sat down, made a list of all services that I used Gmail with and changed my address. Every time I wrote an email I made sure that Reply-to: was set to my new address.

It actually was surprisingly quick and painless.

Part time is great. I'm part time vegan (probably 90% of my meals), but I still rarely have meat, dairy, everything. I dislike the idea that if you aren't always vegan/vegetarian you've "failed". Like it's some religion that if you ever strayed you have some mark against you. It's so much easier to go 90% than 100, and I bet many more people would be willing to go 90% than 100%. We'll make major strids to improving the environment, improving our populations health, and improving the well being of animals if a majority of people have a goal of 90% rather than full removal.
Thank you, but none of my ideas are novel in any way[] and there are far better writers than me already expounding the same points, no need to add to the noise. Stallman, Doctorow, et al. pretty much saw these developments coming years ago and warned about them.

[] Every person's thinking and writing is mostly just a pastiche stitched together of thoughts they heard or read from others anyway. (And this is, of course, the meme idea, which is not an original idea itself either)
If this unacceptable mess is "doing it well", perhaps the whole idea is doomed and should not be attempting to do it at all.

> It comes down to an argument of trust - do you trust Apple is acting in your best interests

No. I mean really very obviously no.

Neither Microsoft. Nor Google. Why would I assume any company would act in my interests when they have clear incentives to increase their profits and control by acting counter to them?

It's great that the author loves to exist within the limits and restrictions imposed by Apple, but don't expect me to go along with your Stockholm Syndrome and belittle me for differing.
It's hard to imagine Apple really getting the cloud market, or their product offering would look like. Cloud by necessity has to be pretty agnostic and flexible to meet the diverse needs of customers. Apple hasn't really demonstrated an ability to succeed with this type of product, and leans heavily toward very tailored, limited, "apple knows best" types of products.

How much of the blame do you think is Otellini's? I got a really bad feeling about Intel when he became CEO.
Can you explain in more detail what you mean?
I found this very interesting, and it seems a similar thing is happening to Intel in the DIY/gaming space right now. For a long time, the Intel i5/i7/i9 were the processors of choice for gaming, but AMD's Ryzen line has been making remarkable inroads, with the recently released Ryzen 5000 series boasting performance that competes or tops Intel's top chips in the space, and generally with lower power draw to boot.

I'm not a tech journalist, but the way they seem to have done this was exactly what was described in this essay. AMD brought out "chiplet" designs, initially at the low end, but with significant performance gains generation over generation. Combined with simpler motherboard slot conventions, delay's in Intel's next-generation processes, and overperforming Intel in areas like streaming, the value case for buying AMD processors in this space has grown to the point where you would find very few enthusiasts who would strongly recommend Intel over AMD if you're building a new system and wanted the best performance at your price point.

Seems the infighting issues described by another poster have not only affected Intel's competitiveness in the mobile space.
They don't need to, they are in a much more down to earth market niche.

I guess there is a certain logic, but I still think it looks unbalanced. And look at the spacing/padding of each button in the white header. Two buttons with lots of padding, an ugly truncated title (despite removing the separate titlebar, the header is overall taller than the previous one and there is now no room for the title because the space it used has been traded for whitespace), the four evenly spaced buttons, then one button with irregular spacing that doesn't match any of the others, and then another button that is too close to the search box and looks like it's vertically aligned slighly lower compared to the others. Just looks like a mess to me.

You're an EMT. You aren't trained for this.

I don't know about NYC's new program, but Portland has been doing something like this for a couple years. They send out teams of a medic from the fire department and a counselor/social worker with specific training in deescalating acute mental health crisis.

There have been no incidents of these teams being attacked or injured.

This "under siege" mentality that the police have adopted as central dogma, which clearly has spread to you as well, is the problem.

I'd suggest reading the various interviews and comments from Patrick Skinner. He's been on a solo crusade for a more compassionate approach to beat policing for a few years now. He gets a lot more clout with police with it though, as he's ex CIA, so no one questions his machoness. The very core of his approach is "how would you solve this without a badge and gun?"

It's simple. It works. It's moral. It doesn't mean we abandon society to anarchy, it just means we stop seeing citizens and police as enemies of each other, where the default assumption is that a restraint and a gun are necessary to even have a conversation.

Users will never have the vast operational knowledge that most organizations do, and are generally very unsophisticated.

This is why there is no 'File Access' API in the browser, because it'd be like giving guns to teenagers, even with 'safety training' it would get out of hand.

So the issue then becomes one of 'power' as much as 'knowledge' of security, and of course all the peripherial abuse surrounding the 'security rules' that have nothing to do with security.

Involving 3rd parties, giving proper security notifications but still letting users have the final say etc. etc. there are definitely middle paths and reasonable choices we coudl make.

But there's just too much money on the table for the powers that be to look the other way, they will continue to infringe until they are stopped.
I’m less convinced that the Notification Center is easier to use though. Now it has no background, there is less to separate a list of notifications from my messy desktop!

Looking at the photos, holy shit, the new Notification Center aesthetic is basically... Dashboard widgets. Which I find hilarious given that one of the reasons I haven’t left Mojave for Catalina is that Catalina finally killed off the Dashboard.

I expect that in two or three years, the Notification Center will be able to fill the whole screen instead of being an awkward phone-width column at the side, and it will be hailed as new and innovative. Or at least I hope so because that is about when I expect to finally leave Mojave because I’m buying a new computer.
Weird. The results are in the exact same order for me when I clicked both of your links. The only difference is that the bootstrapshuffle.com result is below (or rather, on the second page) the stackoverflow result on Bing. Considering the former is specific to Bootstrap, it's less relevant than the stackoverflow result.

Anyways, DDG does mainly use Bing, but they also do their own modifications to the rankings, which is sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.

Nope.
So, if they started leasing their hardware to users, it would be fine?

I can see the argument, but at the same time, if they really did, I’m not sure I would agree.

I also am not sure that’s completely theoretical. Apple (almost?) has the money to do so (yearly revenues about $260 billion, cash reserves about $190 billion), and I think ‘the world’ is getting used to not owning stuff more and more. Many users already pay per month for their phones, anyways.
It is sometimes not easy for those of us who are used to technology to see the struggles of others who are not. I know that my parents have had a hard time identifying flat design buttons such as these, not realizing that there are buttons until I pointed them out.
It's also the fact that they are putting everything on one chip. With an Intel chip it's just the CPU.
What's interesting is that Apple apparently plotted that graph too. They knew exactly when that crossover was going to occur, for years now.

Is this a serious question? My entire dev toolchain works without internet...
Recipe for a toxic work culture from day one. Your team should never be your competition. Your company should never be your competition. Meritocracy works only in certain markets. Knowledge-based work isn’t one of them.

I really feel for people who are in these companies. Who put in 6+ years of university/higher education and think that “if I could only fight my peers for the top spot” when “top” is relative.

To someone else’s point, I totally acknowledge that there are certain industries that you have to have a degree to do anything meaningful. I also know there’s tons of companies out there that need bright minds to create the next big thing.

I used to think that I was in competition with my coworkers for that promotion, for that top spot, to basically prove to myself that I could and prove to others I should. I stopped wasting time trying to prove what I already know and now focus on what I don’t.

Office politics sucks and I refuse to play the game. If I get passed up for promotion or if I’m unhappy I leverage my rights under my states at-will work laws and go find somewhere else to work.

The best places I’ve worked where this wasn’t a thing (the elite competition for who’s right) were places that acknowledged your contributions, explained why you did/didn’t get the promotion, laid out plans for you to achieve that (or have you on that list for when it opens up) and then actually honors that promise.

One of the things I appreciate about Clojure is its simplicity. Before I started working with it, I was of the mindset that having more features in a language was important because that's what made the language more expressive.

After having worked with Clojure I realized that you can have a small and focused language that's incredibly expressive without being overwhelming. A well designed language will allow you to apply a small number of common patterns to a wide range of problems.
There's nothing wrong with using the internet mob to keep powerful people in check. This is because, prior to the internet, powerful people were able to get away with too much evil with too little punishment. ("Nothing wrong" here, to me, means "for the greater good of society").

The problem is when this same internet mob protocol gets applied to average citizens. The internet mob deals massive amounts of damage to a person's reputation and psyche. And, there's no way to temper the punishment to meet the crime. For your average wrong-doer, it's extreme overkill.

Take, for example, the woman who recently got called out for making racist comments to a black man in the park. She was clearly in the wrong, but her entire life is ruined now due to the internet mob. The punishment did not fit the crime.
Yeah Apple's never been a component company, they're all about vertical integration. Still it's hard to imagine if they actually do end up producing the best price/performance processors that these would be relegated to consumer products given the massive opportunity it would represent in the server space for cloud-based companies to bring down costs.

Google has to choose something to prioritize. It's good that in this case it chose the authoritative site over the conspiracy theory one. Even better if they chose it because it was more authoritative rather than because they calculated they could show you more ads that way, but I won't give them credit for that just yet.

They didn't censor the other site completely. If I search with site:dangersofvaccines.com I get results from it. I can't get results from it any other way though, including searching text that only appears on that site - they'd rather tell me there are no results - so I agree that's an unpleasant level of censorship/nannying.

> I tend to think that languages aren't that important.

> switching languages is no fast path towards solving hard problems

If you're talking about switching from one mainstream, general purpose language to another, then I mostly agree. Some tradeoffs can be definite wins for particular domains, e.g. for Web development Go is almost always a better choice than C (in terms of memory management, string handling, buffer overflows, etc.). Other choices can just shift problems around, e.g. in Python it's easy to get something running, but it requires a lot of testing to avoid errors.

However, when it comes to domain-specific, non-general-purpose languages I strongly disagree! There are certain problems that are incredibly difficult to solve (often undecidable) in the context of some generic language; which become trivial when the language is designed with that problem in mind.

For example:

- Incremental computation https://inc-lc.github.io

- Resource handling https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substructural_type_system

- Client/server/DB consistency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur_(programming_language)

- Ruling out unwanted effects https://deno.land/manual@v1.0.0/getting_started/permissions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purely_functional_programming

- Hard realtime timing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esterel

There are a load more examples on sites like http://lambda-the-ultimate.org

Such languages certainly introduce a bunch of problems, like lack of libraries, but they might be the difference between something being difficult, or it being impossible.

Another thing to keep in mind with domain-specific languages is that it's often useful to "embed" them inside some other, general-purpose language. This lets a DSL avoid the need for its own parsing, tooling, etc. For example https://wiki.haskell.org/Embedded_domain_specific_language#E... https://beautifulracket.com/appendix/domain-specific-languag...

Even Bing doesn’t display the same results that you get from their API. It’s also trivial to boost certain websites and influence rankings that way. But doing that doesn’t change the fact that it’s just a Bing wrapper with some simple boosting and a beautiful UI.
Ah then that would mitigate the issue a bit. It would obviously be better for pointe targeting purposes if the button edges are visible ahead of time so that users know where it's acceptable for their pointers to land, but having them show up when the pointer hovers over them would help some.

I agree with 1 and 3 completely.

I think 2 is much more complicated and the solution is not obvious, but it’s still a very valid issue, indeed I would say it is the most important issue in the industry today.

However much of what I saw in the comments was none of these.

Most of it was intended to dishonesty brand Apple a ‘spyware’ company, or to brand anyone who uses Apple hardware or software as a participant in some great evil.

Neither of these are intellectually honest paths.

arm in the cloud is already a thing. A lot of companies have been moving towards server-less infrastructure in the past few years, and I can't imagine it makes any difference at all for a large set of use-cases whether you're executing your 50-line go lambdas on x86 or arm.
Not arguing, but just want to throw in the rivet-counting can have its place. For example Shattered Sword, one of the examples he gives of a “campaign” history that has deeper value, uses a ton of technical detail to show the tactical options that were available to the Japanese fleet, and ultimately puncture a lot of myths about Midway.

The important point in this case is that the rivet-counting has a purpose, it isn’t just for forum warriors to obsess over gun weights or which battleship was the most badass. Shattered Sword uses it to show that a lot of the popular account of the battle is factually impossible.
Sadly, they are a few years too late, it's going to be extremely hard to beat Discord now for anything that doesn't consider libre software and/ or privacy as critical.
