I use it for free stuff when I have the option because it's convenient to have the centralized install buttons and software updates, and I've bought some software for actual money (Affinity suite for example).

But given the option I'm perfectly happy to buy from devs. They don't have to give Apple a cut, there's no "drag the whole hard drive on to the window" sandbox workarounds, and they can structure their upgrade pricing however they want instead of not being allowed to do it.
> Does that repo include all that's needed?

Depends on what you really needed. The SDK includes everything that is needed to use Sciter in your apps.

If you need its sources for whatever reason then you can request access to its sources (for now it is subject of NDA signing).

As of commercial licenses - the price is a fraction of Qt price.

Are your hosts SELinux enforced? It was not clear to me what methods were used to implement MAC. The focus of the article seemed to be around capabilities.
Interesting, I hadn't heard about that.
Based on my experience, many, many, many headaches would be saved if this advice was followed more closely.

IMHO defensive techniques including recovery should be placed in runtime monitors and supervisors, not in underpinning code which should have a minimum set of behaviors. It should also be kept as simple as possible to avoid code bloat and help reviewers and tools like static analyzers do their job.

Old computing hardware was designed like that. Then software attempted to replicate hardware "exceptions", however not realizing that the model was intrinsically different and completely exploding in intricacies dealing with interrupts, stacks, memory management and threads.

In a similar way, supervisors should be as decoupled as possible from the target code to provide reliability and avoid overall system complexity, with their own set of narrowed down requirements.

Sadly our industry is plagued with historical, ad-hoc programming techniques that are not relevant anymore or were plain empirical bad advice in first place. For example, blindly relying on stateful paradigms, or side effects by design or as an acceptable consequence of certain programming idioms.
Is the implication that I, a random guy across the internet, am a better steward of your personally identifying information than Apple? I'm not saying you're wrong, but that definitely doesn't match my own intuitions.
As if Facebook needs Apple's help to look bad.

While I'm under no illusion that Apple is somehow the lone bastion of mega-corporate ethics, Facebook's interests don't align with mine in any way. Apple's interests do to some non-zero degree, so in this particular instance I don't have an issue with Apple pursuing their interests at the expense of Facebook's.

The latest version of KDE (past year or so) uses approximately the same "freshly launched" size as XFCE does and is as snappy as anything else on a relatively modern system (when compared to Gnome3 and XFCE). I think the main reason to pick XFCE is the interface and overall stability not because it's lighter than KDE any longer.
Yeah, and this is why I've been tempted to bootstrap a de-Apple-ified OSX project. I'm getting sick of Apple's intrusiveness.

I was staring at a red dot on the System Preferences because Apple decided that logging in with iCloud was important enough to remind me of daily.
Teen pregnancy is heavily studied, it is big social issue. It has pretty large impact on mother, child, father and extended family. The articles I have seen strongly associated sexual education with both less sex and safer teenage sex.

Basically, if you teach kids about sex and anticonception and condoms, they are less likely to do it and more likely to use this condoms and generally behave more safely.

On the other hand, abstinence only education is associated with more pregnancies.
Can't find async-std feature here: https://github.com/hyperium/hyper/blob/master/Cargo.toml

I do the same thing now, but the recommended section leaves a lot to be desired on mobile.

There's no way to prevent songs from getting suggested (other than maybe blocking a song entirely?). My recommendeds don't seem to get updated until the playlist has changed dramatically. And repeat songs get added to the section even if I haven't added it the umpteen times it was suggested prior.

Is the experience different on desktop or am I doing something wrong?
It's all about taste. I find green tea to get bitter after a few minutes of steeping.
The SEC documents answer at least your (1):

> For most orders of more than 100 shares, the analysis concluded that Robinhood customers would be better off trading at another broker-dealer because the additional price improvement that such orders would receive at other broker-dealers would likely exceed the approximately $5 per-order commission costs that those broker-dealers were then charging. The analysis further determined that the larger the order, the more significant the price improvement losses for Robinhood customers—for orders over 500 shares, the average Robinhood customer order lost over $15 in price improvement compared to Robinhood’s competitors, with that comparative loss rising to more than $23 per order for orders over 2,000 shares.

Given who RH's target customers are, it seems that the majority of them benefited from no commission and worse execution than if they used a competing broker.

I've never used RH, but I'm happy that they forced all competitors to get rid of their per trade fees.
> 3W radio transmitter

I agree with your point, but most outdoor radio antennas have an output power of like 20-80W btw (which is still significantly lower than many television transmitters).
JWT is the authentication equivalent of blockchain. Besides a handful of things, people try to apply blockchain to problems that aren't real. JWT is using cryptography to solve a problem that doesn't exist, which is that storing and retrieving user sessions on the server is burdensome, even though it's one of the least expensive computations you can make on a server. In fact, unlike blockchain, I can't think of any real world scenarios where a JWT is superior to cookie auth over HTTPS. It just sounds really awesome until you realize that, no matter what, you're going to need to keep and fetch some information about the user on the server, and that it's really not helpful at all to offload user data into a client side token. As someone who used to be enthusiastic about JWT, I kind of wish it would die in a fire. Cookie auth is much easier to implement without the need for a 3rd party library and is also more secure.
Browsing the web is equivalent of your butler shouting to another butler to please GET /some/page, and the other butler then kindly replying with a document.

Theft requires the action to not be voluntary, but a web server replying with a page is free to reject my request. It is entirely moral.
Rather than asking me the question, you should read the article that summarizes the SEC investigation or the investigation report itself. The article directly addresses the “isn’t PFOF common practice” and “maybe PFOF was beneficial to the customer” arguments and provides fairly detailed evidence that RH did this at a different scale and with more significant detrimental effects on its customers than common practice.

Maybe you’ve read both and you disagree with the evidence presented. That’s ok by me: but it would be more efficient for you to state your arguments for why this case didn’t harm customers, rather than asking me to (poorly) litigate the SEC’s case. My only point here is a simple one: that opaque pricing schemes seem like a recipe for anti-competitive behavior.
Yeah, it's really slow on the mobile. I rarely ever use Notion for quick notes because it just takes so long to load.
>And what if it doesn't answer the interviewer's question perfectly?

Exactly. You only need to avoid the extreme of looking like a politician in a debate completely dodging a question. And even if you do get too far away from the question, you can always close it out with a joke about how off topic you got which gives you a chance to connect with the interviewer on a human level.
Considering that Matticus there knows about LW and Rationalism, it seems obvious he isn't saying to zero out your coefficients.

Imagine I give you a dictionary purporting to contain descriptions of the referents of the following words: (I assume you know what a sprint is, but not a bilparyoti or a zambungar)

* sprint - to run at a rapid pace for a short distance

* bilparyoti - a kind of bright blue butterfly, found in Congo-Brazzaville

* zambungar - a muddy colour, specifically that created when a landslide enters a clear river

Now, based on knowing that 'sprint' is 'correct', what is your probability, posterior to being supplied the dictionary, that you know what a 'bilparyoti' references?

Now, imagine that I tell you that the 'bilparyoti' is wrong and you are able to be convinced that the 'bilparyoti' is wrong. Is your prior for the accuracy of the 'zambungar' reference the same as the posterior after being supplied the information about the 'bilparyoti'?

Matticus, there, presumably laments the fact that the zambungar accuracy probability has not moved. Rationally it should move towards zero. By varying amounts, certainly, but towards zero. With his friends, P(zambungar_correct | bilparyoti_wrong) = P(zambungar_correct|bilparyoti_unknown), truly a situation worthy of wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Agree with all points here.

This point isn’t Notion’s fault, but subpages are such a trap. I was thrown a product spec drafted with all the Notion bells and whistles, and the details I needed were sprinkled throughout these tiny sub pages. It was a bit ridiculous to navigate as a reader, going back to re-read something was next to impossible. Just put all relevant content in the same place! I somewhat blame Notion for encouraging this, but really it’s up to the author to communicate efficiently.

You can make async-std mimic a tokio runtime by adding “tokio02” or “tokio03” to the list of features for async_std. At its core, futures and future combinators work under all runtimes, it’s just some features will complain if they don’t detect the tokio runtime.
Yes, your teeth will fall off!

Jokes aside, the longer you leave the bag in, the more bitter your tea will be. You also get more caffeine. For a lot of tea connoisseurs it destroys the taste of the tea. I say try taking it out after 3, see if you like the taste more or less.

You can also re-use tea for a 2nd or 3rd brew, but that's not possible when you leave the bag, the 2nd batch will come out too light.
To be honest, I don't use it for free stuff either. Why do I need to provide an account to download something that's free? If you're offering a free app, there's really no reason why you shouldn't have it on your website as well.

IIRC there used to be a way to get things like Garageband and Numbers from the store without providing credentials, but sadly that appears to no longer be the case.

Oh definitely, I'm not saying that there's _no_ benefit — the key point is the distinction between something which you control to something you don't. DNS filtering is good for clients you control but it's important to understand that you can't force malware to use it to avoid accidentally thinking that you're protected against other threats (which I've heard various times from people who should know better but weren't thinking about it carefully in-depth at the time).
Apple is fighting for consumer privacy in the advertising technology ecosystem. Apple's stance is that your data is safe with Apple. Once your data is outside of Apple walls, it is fair game for hundreds of ad tech companies. These companies might be data brokers that aggregate user behavior, they might be mobile analytics for app developers, it can be google or FB, etc. Advertisers rely on ad tech to deliver relevant advertising and to measure the change or impact on consumer behavior. Today, those capabilities – while technically anonymous, are done at the person level across most of ad tech. At least, that is the goal for most ad tech providers.

Apple has made some attempts to keep your data on-device compared to other providers. They are the lesser evil of the surveillance state.
That's the sort of scenario that would be presented to you. If it happened to engage some people that would otherwise have spent some time with their family, that would not be mentioned. I didn't have to argue very hard to get you to agree to this job.

Or maybe irony just gets lost in text.
"they could’ve just opened the app and retrieved the contents" is not really sufficient.

First, doing it manually through the app is not okay since it does not scale, you don't want to read a message, you want to retrieve and index all messages, and you might want to process many devices quickly.

Second, apps usually do not show the user all the information that's available - often there is extra metadata (which may be as important as the message contents) so you do want to decode the actual message database.

Third, doing it through the app might change things - the app may change state (for example, mark an unread message as read), send some notification to central servers, alter metadata, etc. So it potentially disrupts evidence, and that's not okay.

So the original blog post from Cellebrite makes all sense - if you do want to do forensics, then a tool that does all that is really a requirement, it's not wasting time.
they said fighting apple on the 30% cut benefited them, Facebook fighting Apple asking you to opt in might benefit other companies (than Facebook)
Thanks @masklin for pointing that out -- sloppy language on my side, but I also didn't realize it was a third party library. Thanks @zevv for the macro!
Man I still can’t believe Azure is number 2 behind Amazon for cloud computing. When they first started their marketing push to developers years ago, which I remember was very aggressive and full of evangelism marketing which I disliked, I kind of blew them off as some mid tier or old school oddity.

But it really shows you how powerful their enterprise sales machine is and the legacy reach of existing programming languages/frameworks.

It’s always easy to underestimate Microsoft I guess. Ditto with Oracle and the like. From our view down in the startup world.

That said. Alt-tab not working is an embarrassment though. And I hope they really haven’t let their OS QA slip this badly in favour of some growth area or whatever.

Right, just thinking about the end-to-end economics. The TB3 add-in card for my HP workstation costs $200 for 2 ports. HP doesn't market a 40g ethernet card but an Intel model costs $400 at retail, also for 2 ports. Then I need either 2 $25 cables for ethernet or 2 $129 cables for TB3. It's the same price either way. Of course, the two setups don't accomplish the same things; they are comparable only in reach and speed.
Just to be clear, I know of no relatives who want to be influencers. It's only a hypothetical problem for me.

I also have never met people with "no aspirations at all" and am not sure they exist. Although you seem concerned about diminishing people's ambitions, you also seem to denigrate people who want to have "a regular life", as if there's something wrong with people who want to settle down and raise kids and live a good life. That's never been my path, but I respect it a lot.

"8. When buying things, time and money trade-off against each other. If you’re low on money, take more time to find deals. If you’re low on time, stop looking for great deals and just buy things quickly online."

I'm finding, as I've gotten older, that almost every time I've chosen money over time I've made a bad decision.

And I see this among my family and friends, too. There's a mentality that emerges when exchanging time for money that somehow makes it so you waste your time and you end up spending almost or more money than you originally would have.

I'm known for saying, "There is a professional person for that... Let's get one," instead of trying to fix the water heater ourselves or get transport 2 tons of gravel. Others in my family would have dragged the old trailer out of the barn. Oh, it has a flat. Fix that. Oh, the trailer hitch doesn't fit the new truck, oh, get a new hitch (we'll use it someday again, surely). Or get the old truck working, or the older truck working (cause they keep buying cheap used trucks that break down and sit on the property for eternity). Then go get whatever, and deal with not knowing what they're doing. Me, just get it delivered. Maybe more money, waaaay less hassle. In the saved time I've polished up my CSS skills...

Time really is the most precious resource you have. Think hard before you trade it for anything else.
I agree that both the original post and the media coverage of this is extremely misleading.

I think there's plenty of value and achievement in understanding a program's functionality, even when the source is fully available to you.

We all (presumably) agree that source code isn't self-documenting and that understanding someone else's work usually involves a lot of individual comprehension and context; I read this blog post as someone (diligently) describing their mental process as they tried to understand Signal's internal formats. As others have pointed out, there are oodles of "legitimate"[1] reasons for doing so.

I could not agree more. And I may add IMO the opposite of what the author is saying is true. By checking only for best, in my experience, one lands in optimized seo pages that are not the best.

It is like discovering music by searching for „the best“ music.

The implication is that, regardless of price, making the App Store more useful and valuable harms privacy for everyone, as it reduces the ability of people to resist Apple restricting features or functionality to App Store only, as they have already done with VPN apps using the NetworkExtension API. These cannot be installed outside of the App Store at all, even self-built ones.

There is also the issue of surveillance. Apple processed warrantless FISA surveillance orders for 30,000 users last year, per their own transparency report.

It's possible that people don't want Apple (and by extension the FBI and US military, with no probable cause or warrant required) knowing the apps they purchase and use, or when, or on which devices.

Being App Store only prohibits that, and requires that your users be subject to this surveillance.

It's the same issue with posting to Instagram, for example: deciding to donate free content to Facebook there makes the product more attractive to Facebook's users and makes it harder for small businesses to opt out of using Facebook's ad business. Decisions like this make the whole world worse.

No. You'll find recipes whose authors did bare-minimum SEO, not produced better recipes.

Yes BUT: First-mover advantage is a thing, but it is by no means THE thing. Ship ship ship, but don't sweat being first. Build something better and ship it. Don't perfect it endlessly. But don't worry if you're not the first!
