The User/Developer distinction is completely arbitrary. Any user can download Xcode/Android Studio and develop for their device which has the same libraries installed as an SDK including analytics/debugging/ads and such. Google used to charge developers a one time $25 fee, and Apple could charge as little as $5/developer/year to cover everything related to the App Store. The Swift compiler is common across a few Apple devices, and the device buyers are paying for that.

It’s not crazy. They are aggregating and organizing the buyers as a retailer. It is the same as if you sold a phone case in the Apple Store. Apple demands a margin for their value.

A more apt point of contention is whether or not you should have the right as a customer to install apps outside the App Store retail experience.

You can actually but it isn’t easy.

Another related issue is whether or not customers acquired outside the Apple store should yield a margin once installing an iPhone app.

Essentially the entire question is if the phone is a general purpose computer owned by the end user, the end user ought to have the right to install apps as they please without having to go through Apple.

Would be great if someone figured some roadmap for self-help on that, because the standard advice of "go see a therapist" is not actionable for many, for various reasons, ranging from contextual (e.g. you live in a small city, no relevant therapist anywhere in range that you could make work with your schedule) to personal (for some problems, if you could just go and see a therapist, you wouldn't need one in the first place!).

Not sure why, but it made me think of windup in feedback control[0]. In controllers it usually involves overshooting the target, but you can imagine physical limits preventing you from closing to your target in the first place[1]. Stress levels about tasks seem to work similarly - they seem to integrate your distance from "done". So if you're not making progress, you can get so wound up that stress response dominates all your thinking about the task, which can prevent you from reaching it and/or force you to abort it entirely.

The analogy isn't in any way perfect, but going with it, I wish you could apply the same mitigation strategies to your stress levels that are applied to PID controllers to prevent windup.

--

[0] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_windup - Basically, the Integral part of a PID controller tracks the integral of the error. If you stray too far from target and for too long, that integral of error will grow so large as to dominate the output of the controller. It's usually a problem in terms of overshooting - a wound up controller will shoot you past your target and keep pushing you away, until the error integral "unwinds" and the Proportional and Derivative parts of the controller will regain their influence.

[1] - Perhaps the windup grows faster than the controlled device can act; e.g. a valve cannot be more than 100% open, no matter how strongly the controller is asking.
Rent can be negotiated (although not usually done for residential leases, is for commercial ones) and the length can be, and often is, for more than a year. There isn't even the pretext of being able to negotiate the appstore cut.

As I added in my edit, equating the rent of a physical space to an app store seems absurd to me, as well.

"Pricing wise, we haven’t noticed anything that distinguishes Linux users from everyone else. They are no more cost conscious than Mac / Windows users. They are definitely willing to pay for software."

As an on-again/off-again linux user, I have paid for software or donated to many projects and it seems others are willing to do the same, however it is still a much much smaller group.
I work in a similar field and this is accurate for us too, except our tools do at least have some integration with Make (you can generate makefiles from the proprietary project files, although it's not useful to us and we don't use it). Like most (I assume), we've built our own build language/system on top of Make. It works but only in a few well-defined ways that modern software shops would probably baulk at. We don't support parallel builds, no caching, only coarse grained incremental builds (at a subproject/library level) and who knows what else that others benefit from.

I've only looked at modern tools briefly but everytime I come away realising we'd have to re-write everything. There is no out-of-the-box support for our tools/language and it would be a lot of work to learn someone else's DSL, re-implement everything and then potentially discover a load of ways it's broken for our workflow. Personally I think it'd be worth it in the long run but it's a really hard sell.
good tool
Paying for the _only_ access to a customer base kind of comes off as extortion to me? There are often more then 2 options for landlord (including purchasing your own space) in any particular geographic area.

Moreover, while location (e.g. access to customers) is a good portion of what makes rents in the same locale different, the costs and risks of providing the physical location are higher than providing a webpage and checkout (of which the marginal cost is basically $0).
Well there's a surprise...
What do you mean with "insistence on being a separate language"? Many build tools have their own DSL.

Whether or not the landlord is willing to negotiate isn’t a legal right. They are fully allowed to set their own terms.

Your first claim so blatantly false and wrong that it's pretty appropriate to assume that you're trolling. I mean, systemic/institutional racism doesn't exist and/or isn't a problem in the US, what?

> I substantiate this very easily: affirmative action means preferential treatment for job applicants who are black, and affirmative action is very common.

So on the one hand you deny that it exists towards black Americans, but you find affirmative action to be so significant that it however substantiate systemic racism in favour of black Americans?

Am I correct you assume that you've honed in on the word systemic and will only accept that it solely means whatever is explicitly written down? So that systemic/institutional racism does not include implicit bias?

Yes, that was mostly the point - you should assume that nefarious actions are done for nefarious purposes. Assuming they are done for noble purposes risks normalizing them much more than the opposite. Your president has assassinated a foreign dignitary? Assume they are a criminal now. Perhaps in 50 years you will find out that it was of the outmost importance for world peace and prosperity, but it is far more likely that it was some petty revenge or power struggle.

Yes, Arcade in the old days, you cant expect to refund the game if you didn't like it. You move on to another game.

There are of course some legitimate case for refund. Example I bought a package that has a Value, or Attack / Def Number of 100. The gaming company decide it was too over power and changed it to 80 without compensation. Now of course as a buyer I feel cheated because I bought it with the value of it being 100. And in case of App Store you can immediately ask for refund.

Most developers are now aware of this problem so their solution was to inflate their next package to similar level to the Over Power Package, the problem with that is it devalue the current unit economics too much and player will refund and quit.

Basically "In Game Economics" ( especially mobile gaming ) is not a well understand problem. ( And they dont seems to care since most mobile games has a very short life span ) Apart from very big companies like EA which has Data Scientist running and monitoring, most gaming company just goes by the flow. It is a bit like giving Games designers the job of Central Bank and they just keeping print money. Sometimes the balance is right, sometimes it is wrong and they destroyed the whole game.
And the parent comment saying Americans who aren't out there being entrepreneurs and starting businesses are "drowning themselves in self-pity" is insulting.

When I immigrated, I left behind tangible proof of my achievements, but I could've also completely bullshitted my history and instantly jumped into a higher level than was possible in my old country. It's also virtually risk-free should I fail. So long as I have enough money for a plane ticket home, I can just leave and there's zero long term consequence. This is incredibly common for westerners in Asia to do. It's also not uncommon for non-Americans to move to the US to instantly get a leg up in work with some companies really giving preferential treatment to things like H1Bs, then going back home with a larger savings and better opportunities to actually get started as an entrepreneur.

Americans who only have America don't have those massive privileges.

It's not just payment processing.

A app store offers reliable hosting of the game binaries and provides a versioning and upgrade mechanism on a platform with billions of user accounts.

Keeps the user's OS and device drivers up to date, maintains the OS and develops the hardware that it runs on.

Maintains the developer tools, compilers, documentation, so that your binary can run on the device's OS.

These things are expensive. I don't know how much exactly it would cost a company like Roblox to develop and maintain all the necessary tools and services provided by the app stores in order to run on all those devices.

Probably a lot. In fact, if they could do it, they would be Apple or Google :).

Whether it's a lot more than it should be, I don't know, but it helps to keep in mind that the app store cut is for a lot more than just payment processing.
And that's where apathy plays in.

Over the years much of 9/11 has received reasonable doubt worthy mythbusting.

But at some point the arguments are just too overwhelming. To me, the "MythBusters" actually sound delusional. They're unwilling to confront evidence, and are guilty of most the things this article lists.

One of the problems with this case in particular is how isolating it all is. I don't tell people I'm a truther. You learn real fast how "wrong you are" from the screeching mother's about how dare you? As if questioning the so trustworthy media narrative is somehow offensive just because people died.

Yes they died, I'm disgusted by it. I'm more disgusted by the idea that the govt was behind it.

But the problem with this isolation is that you can't get dissenting ideas. I have to seek out confronting views this in itself is uncomfortable. Past this, I have to wade through the myth busters jokes and jabs at my expense, being compared to moon landing hoaxers and antivaxxers.

I can see how people fall into conspiracy theories and get shutout of society for it.

To this day I hope I'm wrong I hope one day someone can convince me. But to this day. Nobody has, and given how much evidence is now lost or destroyed there really isn't much chance of this happening.
It's easier to adopt a correct build system when your codebase is still simple. It can save you time, because it can prevent lots of unintentional errors over time (e.g. you might not notice when you get an incorrect result after an incremental build).

In my opinion, this is a bit similar to languages with static vs dynamic typing.

If your current setup works well for you, it makes sense to keep it, though.

> Debian helpfully "updated" OpenSSL, and thanks to the magic of shared libraries, every program on a Debian system generated weak keys.

I'm going to guess you never checked how many vulnerabilities have been fixed in Linux distributions before a release, or backported to existing releases: hundreds of thousands.

Cherry-picking a single incident (involving a library with a history of vulnerabilities) is hardly meaningful.

> Most stuff "in production" these days is in a container

It's provably not, outside of the SV bubble. The large majority of software in the world is still deployed traditionally.

> So the "quick security updates" doesn't seem to justify the high maintainability cost of shared libraries

A good number of large companies think otherwise. Also, people working in security.

>> I want the binaries properly packaged with metadata, documentation, manpages to keep the host secure and tidy.
> You've just invented containers.

No, these are OS packages and predate containers by many decades. This is getting silly.
Those mostly don't really seem positive. Future debt isn't a concern... because no one will give a loan to someone with no credit history. No past work or education experience will make it harder, not easier to get a job.

Being well off is positive, but if you're well off in a less-developed country, you'll actually be less well off in the US because of the higher cost of living here. So immigrating made that worse.
