I honestly don't follow you at all. We're now at a point where every major consumer operating system now has an ARM version available.

You can build your own general purpose PC with ARM today. It's not done regularly because ARM chips historically tended to be less powerful, so the type of person that went out and built their own PC wouldn't want to build an ARM PC. This is now rapidly changing given chips like Apple's M1 and the upcoming Arm Cortex-X1 are surpassing their x86 competitors in performance orientated benchmarks.

Once Microsoft gets their act together with their own version of Rosetta 2 and we reach the X2 generation, you'll start to see a rapid shift towards ARM desktops with X1 chips in the mid-tier segment. Eventually the premium "gamer" tier will follow as M1 has proven that it's possible create an ARM SoC that surpasses top tier x86 single threaded performance at a fraction of the power budget and mountains of thermal headroom. This will be accelerated by the fact Nvidia is purchasing ARM and now has massive incentive to get Nvidia discrete graphics cards paired up with ARM SoCs.
Looks nice but it doesn't solve my fundamental problem:

1. I invest loads of time and effort developing an app

2. Apple rejects it

-or-

2. Apple approves it

3. I ship a new update

4. Apple rejects the update and now decides my app should have been rejected retroactively.

I'm especially concerned about what happened to Hey and others but my customers are demanding smartphone apps and there are still limits to what can be done with a mobile web browser.
Instead of providing blanket rules in the name of equality, companies should make decisions based on the value that a single employee brings compared to what they can hire in a remote first job.

Sure, average salaries will probably drop from SF ones. Rich companies will save some more money. Startups who have some mental flexibility will be able to snatch some good hires. Employees stuck in cheap countries will get more offers. Countries' economies will have a push to improve or become even more irrelevant. Politicians will steal even more taxes from remote workers. More people will start their own business.

The market and the world will go on.
More like 5%. But the fact remains that "living alone" is considered aspirational in society, and that's not axiomatic. Plenty of American adults can afford to live alone, and do, but by pooling their resources with their parents, both can live on one property and have a much richer life together than living apart. My in-laws who live on the property sold their house to help us buy the property -- we couldn't have done it by ourselves, so we really had to break down some assumptions/default behaviors about financial independence which are fairly standard in the US.
No, revenue over $1 million now now come with the same the level of fees they had before this announcement.

I mean, would you say “The Epic tax on the Unreal engine suddenly goes up by a factor of infinity” when you reach the $1 million threshold?

Notion is a notes app first and foremost but it’s possible to post a link to your notes publicly. It’s a neat feature but I didn’t realize they did that to the arrow keys
> It's funny how people expect moral behaviour from other people

Do we though? We expect people to not break the rules, e.g murder or steal. We don't expect people to stop eating meat, polluting the earth, or generally to stop being extremely selfish. If we expected everyone to be moral you and I wouldn't be spending money on vacations and buying computer games but on trying to save poor kids in Africa and Bangladesh.

Oh very nice thanks :) It would feel a bit like cheating though to just buy a ready made kit ;)

I wonder how they assemble the cores and the wires efficiently, because that was always the most painful part when working with the cores.

Edit: Typos
It seems to me companies can either pay for the work, and how valuable it is to them, or pay by need, ie 'cost of living'.

But in the latter case, they should also be paying people with families more than singles, for example. Since that is not the case, I can't see how they can justify 'cost of living' adjustments.

Quite apart from the fact that the cost-of-living indices are often wildly incomparable. For example, sending your kids to a state school in Norway, vs for example Equatorial Guinea.

Obviously in the latter case, you actually need to send the kids to an often ludicrously expensive expat school to obtain even the same ball-park level of education, and so even though the cost of just living may be much lower, it is actually more expensive to maintain a comparable lifestyle.

All about PR. Pretty sure they make the big bucks off the $1million+ earners.
This really isn't a problem in practice, unless you are going out of your way to try to bend the rules set in place, especially about sales.
GTD is only a productivity system, you can choose between several ones. Also, there are a lot of productivity porn (apps, BuJos, YouTube gurus) and so on. The thing is that you need to understand what you can and cannot do with your time, and either you embrace it or you change it.

Productivity apps work for me on a personal level (habit tracking, personal projects, recurring chores...). But for work it's much more complicated so I have stopped trying to shoehorn my schedule/non-predictable todos into an app (it's just Google Calendar).
The year-on-year qualification system is nonsensical and punishes developers with declining revenues.

A developer with revenues over $1m in the current year but under $1m in the next year would not qualify for the reduced tax rate.

They should have implemented a progressive tax system for everyone, not just those who qualify on a yearly basis.
Will do thanks
Review our SaaS, get rewards:)
Hey foxes, needed gurus to review our SaaS. The ones who do that will get free access to our services :)
Wonder how this will be handled for apps that are shipped on the app store via a 3rd party publisher. The publisher probably does >$1M across all the apps they publish, but each app / developer is likely far under that.

If there are no exceptions, it would mean that 3rd-party publishers lose tons of their value proposition.
Its far, far bigger than that.

And you do realise that the BBC was created to be a propaganda delivery vehicle? That you couldn't get a job there unless you had been screened by MI5? That they gave out free TVs to ensure good take up of their propaganda?
I completely agree. One thing I would add that you shouldn't anticipate abstractions, but find them through business domain analysis. Exactly like OP missed that there's ingredients, recipe and equipment.
> owning an expensive, depreciating asset they only use sparingly is more hassle than it’s worth.

Appears though that electric cars are likely to be far more durable than gasoline powered cars and cheaper. In ten years a EV will probably cost 80% what a gasoline powered car would and will last 30 years not 15. Cost of ownership over the life of the car would then be 40% of a gasoline car is today. Less considering maintenance and fuel.
Would be neat to see the data underlying the service. How it's generated or whether it can be contributed to.
Unfortunately this is somewhat misleading and even wrong at times.

A crucial aspect that many of the I/Q explanations miss is, that the I/Q representation (which is really phasor notation) is a feature of modulation onto a carrier wave, not baseband.

So the example starts of with drawing the sine wave and say we don't know the full wave, because we don't know if frequencies are positive or negative and because it's hard to determine the power (not even sure what he/she means there). That is wrong and directly contradicts Nyquist theory, if we sample a signal at twice it's maximum frequency we can fully reconstruct it. The reason the explanation goes wrong is because they bring in negative frequencies. Negative frequencies do not exist!

This is where the phasor/IQ representation comes in. If we modulate a signal onto a carrier wave, in other words we have a wave at some frequency and we modulate that wave in amplitude/phase/frequency, we generate frequencies higher and lower than that carrier frequency. The modulation can have components that correspond to the sine or cosine of that carrier wave. Importantly these components are orthogonal, so can carry independent data. That's where we use the phasor representation (IQ-modulation), and remove the carrier wave and represent this "artificial" baseband signal using complex numbers or sine or cosine components, or positive/negative frequencies (all these are equivalent). But it is important to remember that this is just a representation of a signal modulated onto a carrier as if there was no carrier.

That's where this explanation goes wrong.
Wouldn't "Alchemists" fit even better?
This feels like Apple is trying to rally the small-business developer corps against its much larger platform supporters, who are probably feeling a bit parasitic (i.e. legal sticks being swung at the high end) to Apple management, at the moment.

So .. by invigorating the cottage shops with this generous relaxation, while holding the >$1million brick and mortars on the same leash, Apple seems to be trying for more upheaval in their app zeitgeist.

Trouble is, I still see serious issues with discoverability and interaction through the App Store to be a major barrier for all players. This handout is nice, but there is still a huge issue with small devs having to depend on Apple to keep the $>million guys off from dominating eyeballs.

Perhaps they should add another category of App to the Store: "built by budget/small-business" ...
What about houses which are not within walking distance of amenities, and do not have room for off-street parking? That's a large proportion of suburban (or even urban) housing in the UK.

I can't fit your comment with my palm on my current monitor.

I guess the effect of following this rule depends a lot on formatting, size of hands and monitor and how long your arms are and how far away you are standing.
So much trust in the stories you are provided.

Even though it doesn't tally up with what you see.

I see a wonderful world. You see a world that you yourself are killing.

But even accepting the stories, science etc we are given, the top 100 corporations are responsible on their own for 70% of the emissions. Why don't we make this issue completely disappear in the easiest way possible, by banning those corporations only from any polluting? Job done.
The operating system isn’t valuable from your perspective? The payment processing? The IDE? The language?
Apple slashes commission fees to developers on its App Store
Microsoft was committed to supporting Windows on Itanium but Intel mucked it up in several areas - if they perhaps got AMD onboard (a free license to the architecture - which would have made AMD64 moot) and made the first variant faster than x86 and consumer priced/focussed.

I am afraid that X86 will live on forever more with just more wacko instruction extensions that nobody will use.
Why weird? 2 different strategies with completely different goals.

Valve's strategy looks like to maximise revenue and get big companies on board that do $10+ mil in sales giving them incentives and discounts to be on the platform. (I think of it as tax break to incentivise high-earners to stay in the state/country)

Apple's strategy looks like to put more money into small companies/developers, while still charging the usual rate it had for 10 years to everyone else to access market of 1+ billion users. (tax break for small business to get up and running)
“Prelude” is borrowed from Haskell, right?
i see a future where if it’s going to be emulated the patch packages will either be included with the image OR the image available will be at last published version.
The way this is worded makes no sense - surely it should be for the first $1,000,000?

$1,000,000 = $150,000

$1,000,001 = >$300,000?

It feels like a knee-jerk reaction to the ongoing complaints without much forethought other than an arbitrary change in the percentage below some round number.
The trouble is, the moment the bar is lowered, the press will run scary articles about how the tests miss large numbers of people that are detected by the PCR test and how there's no evidence that lower CT value equivalents correspond to lower infectivity. This has already basically happened in the UK after the government launched a trial of mass testing an entire city using one of the better and less cheap rapid tests. It undermines confidence in Covid testing as a whole.
Yes but many of the larger players who are willing to go to war use the 'its not fair on smaller developers' argument against them.

This really slaps down the ability to use that.
It can be a problem in practise since the rules aren't fairly or consistently enforced. Look to recent issues with iSH being approved and rejected.

Edit: as others have pointed out iSH isn't the best example of this.
I doubt we are going to see the RK3566 in PinePhones in 2021. That sounds more like a 2022 thing to me – unless getting proper mainline Linux support is going to land extraordinarily fast for that new SoC.

Knowing Pine64 I think they might provide upgrade boards unless it turns out that revising other aspects of the PinePhone hardware (e.g. screen, camera, battery) can be revised and improved cheaply so that this would not make sense economically.
Well, I sometimes use labels like these, but only in terms of 'what hat am I currently wearing'?
The article panders to a certain type of liberal and maybe tries to coerce them to more conservative standpoints. But I think it is correct to say that the progressive talking points about racism/sexism are primarily some weird life-style activism and not attractive to people that have demands for political solutions and it is too boring to intellectually engage.

You can still be suppressed if most major brands agrees with you since they try to monetize your easily stimulated fervor. But it also shows that your interpretation of reality is off.
No it doesn't. You can receive the reduced rate only if you qualify for the program.

The modern Internet is such sellout.

I don't really want to defend DRM, but the main tangible difference between DRM as part of the browser and the DRM that came before is that DRM plugins were shockingly bad for users. Flash was a notorious attack vector for all manner of malware and viruses. RealPlayer (first released in 1995 so it's not so much the 'modern' Internet that sold out) was literally spyware for a while. I'd love for DRM to vanish entirely and for me to be in control of what my browser is doing, but failing that utopian ideal I'd much rather have DRM be a first class citizen in the browser that means users don't have to open up gaping holes in their security to watch and listen to the latest cat videos and true crime podcasts.
The Apple software/hardware ecosystem delivers no value?
I/Q is really amazing and it's an offshoot of the Euler's formula.

The best book to understand I/Q if your background is not engineering is probably this book "Digital Signal Processing in Modern Communication System" by Andreas Schwarzinger [1].

This book will teach from the basic principles of communication from the I/Q up to OFDM, basically most of the essential techniques of modern communication as mentioned in its title.

Science is incredibly easy to cheat. Everyone is silo'd and beholden to funding.

That very few people speak up about it (why would they, when their jobs are at risk) means nothing.

A really good example of someone speaking up, from a 'trusted' organisation, is this editorial in the British Medical Journal.
Apple own the whole vertical of their platform.

Microsoft don't: they are in Google's position with Android, that they have to work with the third party hardware vendors and their value-subtracted software and so on.
Python, without wildcard imports, does the same.

Usage in Haskell is a bit more mixed, but I see a lot of 'qualified imports'.

Who knows what bowl.stir() actually does to the internal state of bowl, and what methods should have been run up until this point to get into that state, is the bowl ready to stir? What methods should have already run for that? So much of the article's code is crutched on good naming

I like to think of this in terms of the Charizard Pokemon card

For context in this example I have this card and I'm sensitive about damage to it

so in this OO example I put the card in a box and allow you to interact with it
in a very limited way, you cannot use anything you're used to to interact with it
like your own gloves or hands etc

Just my "methods" so I might give you a tiny hole to look at it, you could still damage it through the hole, so I have lots of logic to ensure you cannot poke it incorrectly hopefully the verbosity on both your and my side is/was worth it and bug free and not missing cases, hopefully my hole was in the right place for your uses

Obviously I can't give you too many holes in the box otherwise what's the point in the box? I need the box to maintain my sanity

The other alternative is I just give you the card, and take the risk
that you might damage it, this is a disaster for my well being OR I duplicate the card perfectly and give you the duplicate in which case I don't care what happens to the duplicate, MUCH easier in my opinion, so please

Stop creating hellish boxes with holes for other developers to peak through just choose a language with efficient immutability as the default or use pass by value semantics with mostly pure functions

Reserve your classes for things that are truly data structures in the general sense, not bs domain stuff like "bowl", bowl is not a fundamental type of computer science like integer, bowl is just data and it should be treated as such https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6BsiVyC1kM so it can have schema and such but don't put it in some kind of anal worry box, otherwise your program may end up more about managing boxes and peak holes than it will be about pokemon cards
> I keep reading that it's difficult to emulate but the current Rpcs3 is doing great work at such a high pace

The fact a 9 year old emulator with talented devs with successful patreon is doing great work at such a high pace doesn't invalidate the fact PS3 is a nightmare to emulate.
I guess they can just create a new account for each customer?
The US could setup a conventional non-nuclear response that takes Pyongyang off the map, probably within a few days. That would be the safer strategic option and the rest of the world would not criticize such a response, while a nuclear response would not be appreciated by many others.

While I certainly agree the ideal would be to revert Afghanistan to the pre Soviet-invasion culture, that's a task impossible for any foreign power to accomplish. It would have to come from within, be organic, to be sustainable. No outside power can afford the cost necessary to give Afghanistan a long-term umbrella required to develop relatively quickly. The US couldn't afford to do it, nobody else is going to be able or willing to try. The reason the US is willing to side with less than ideal groups is because there are no practical alternatives, you need a large pillar to put in place or it'll all just fold that much faster when confronted by the Taliban. There are few large pillars in Afghanistan in terms of power structures. The moment the US is gone, the Taliban will immediately press and crush the central government (regardless of which group is in power at the time), any agreements the Taliban sign will be ignored just as North Vietnam ignored everything they agreed to and immediately resumed their conquest.

The Northern Alliance was able to very rapidly smash the Taliban with the help of the US (the Taliban can't easily hold Afghanistan as a military force, so chaos and civil war is guaranteed in the near future). The challenge now and in the future is how to make any positive progress stick. The various powerful groups there, and their perma foreign sponsors (eg Pakistan, Iran, Russia, Turkey, etc), are not going to stop trying to topple eachother. The only thing giving Iraq a shot at being an independent, functional nation is their oil resource providing considerable funding to support a central government; Afghanistan of course lacks anything comparable. I don't know where the economy is going to come from to fund a potent central government in Afghanistan (while the Taliban operates on the cheap in comparison). It obviously takes a very long time to build up an economy from scratch in a location like Afghanistan.
Agreed. Delivery drivers don't take a percentage from every sale you make. They charge for the service.

App stores should charge for their service. They aren't making the sales (at least in most cases). They are delivering assets. Charge for the delivery.

I know somebody will start claiming that Apple created the market in the first place. Apple benefits from the large app selection just as much as the developers do - yet the relationship only works one way. Let's delete the App Store and see how well the iPhone does against Android.
It's randomly generated, so you can see one website two times (sometimes).
Are you arguing that Indian employees should earn less because it's better for Indian employers?
I would argue the only fees that should be based on revenue are payment processor fees, and maybe distribution/CDN costs (althouth these should be instead charged per byte carried). And even then, these are astronomically low compared to the current 15%/30% cut.

Everything else is paid for already by the end user of the device (who consciously pay a premium to use Apple's ecosystem), and has no reason to scale linearly with developer revenue.
Nobody seems to read long emails.
TLDR; New program reduces App Store commission to 15 percent for small businesses earning up to $1 million per year
…which, like many of Apple's moves regarding the App Store, is basically "let's shut down the ability of people to complain" rather than "let's actually fix things so people won't complain".
Why should developers also pay for this, when end users already do? Apple is double dipping like a world-class monopolist (see: ISPs who charge both peers and customers).
