>I guess I was replying to him, but meant the general point. As long as people still treat Mac products as something that they want to be apart of they give a free pass to the behavior.

That sounds like "if you don't like how this country is run, immigrate elsewhere" - used usually by right wingers.

How about people liking other aspects of the country (or, in this case, liking the OS, the hardware, the ecosystem, and so on) and considering them worth staying over the alternatives? Should they move to what they consider a sub-par platform to "make a point" about some App Store policies or some other such thing?

And if most people are fine even with those things (e.g. could not give less fucks how the country is run as long as they're doing ok or don't care about some App Store faults) how is small scale immigration/skipping platform wont get lost in the noise?

Boycotting companies is only a real tool when there are very heavy issues at stake, and millions of people agree on it, and also they thing there are perfectly fine alternatives for their use cases. Easy to boycott Nike when there's 100 sneaker brands that will do.

How about improving the country/platform in other ways? Including publishing opinions, pressure groups, shaming when necessary, and so on.

I don’t think that’s right exactly. My understanding is that any debt can be settled by legal tender. A court does not have to get involved.
No offense, but if you can't design and write a compelling landing page for your service that works you don't understand your product or customer enough to be in the line of business that you're in.

This is the race to the bottom kind of shit that is designed to help you crank out no/low effort content that search engines like but provide no value to an end user.
And nvim-R for vim/nvim and R.

The tar+gzip+gpg runs first, and doesn't get the benefit of the OS buffer cache. Maybe clear the buffer cache between methods.

I'd also be interested how well running gpg before gzip in the pipeline works. It would certainly change the space used.
This is the main use case where I've used octave: working with someone of a group who has developed fairly involved Matlab codebase and we need to make it more scalable in some way, either for long running computation, reducing license costs, perform distributed memory work, or enable more robust parametric space exploration.

The Achilles heel here is that in Matlab, there's quite often a licensed toolbox dependency which makes portability more challenging. Every now and again I've seen pure Matlab code and the Octave transition is smooth. Sometimes there are so many toolbox dependencies that it just isn't even worth trying.
ZFS is helluva encrypted backup tool. After ZFS got encryption, I switched almost completely to it. rsync to ZFS drives when not in ZFS. Then it's just snapshots sending and receiving.
I admit I have not experienced true REPL driven development as the author defines it, but I have created an easier way for "development with a REPL" in vim. I love it because it's like a looser, faster Jupyter notebook, and it works with any language that has a REPL.

It works by sending highlighted text to vim's terminal buffer. I wrote a short blog post with a demo and the vimscript code here:

The author mentioned dired for emacs which is the perfect tool for this. Is there an equivalent file plugin for vim?
> assurance of a certain minimum income for everyone, or a sort of floor below which nobody need fall even when he is unable to provide for himself" is not only legitimate but "necessary." (Hayek, from the article)

That's not necessarily UBI but standard welfare state, and indeed this exists in at least some European countries.

UBI as described, a monthly stipend paid to everyone, is quite different, and costly to the point of being unaffordable. Whatever people think of UBI, if the numbers don't add up the idea is simply dead in the water.

The pandemic relief checks in the US, or furlough schemes in Europe, are also quite different in that they are an emergency response to an emergency situation. They are meant to be a sporadic measure and indeed are not sustainable.
Because they can post something wrong, get the real experts on HN to fix it, then they can use their now awesome repository to sell consultancy service as one of the biggest Docker experts in the world.

Ironically we may find ourselves back at the curation search engine model, a la the original Yahoo.
There's also a matter of SEO. Grubhub is an extremely popular website who's pages will far exceed the restaurant's own webpage's rank, so even when searching for local restaurant store by name, the grubhub page will feature prominently, despite having no relation to the restaurant.
Matplotlib is terrible (once you get to the point that you need to do non trivial things with it), that's why you use the excellent plotting library for python called "Bokeh"
My guess is that some "policy" person/team needs to report they "removed xyz apps violating ToS per week" as their quality bar, so they actively seek any reason for banning an app. It's the same reason why companies dumb down their UI, make weird "unique" choices or remove useful functionality, because some team needs to report work.
Couple of interesting snippets:

Apple languages don’t reach the top-10 of languages used on GitHub. While this is likely impacted by the Objective-C/Swift split, it still shows how niche development for that platform is.

So, err... it apparently generates (among other things) fake testimonials? No thanks. "Marketing fluff" may be (just about) acceptable for a landing page, but this is pure BS.

Is it progress? Perhaps. But in a positive direction? No.
I just looked at the gps from my bike ride on New Year's day. The GPS is off by about 30 meters at the start of the route but corrects itself after about 10 minutes. No Internet required. I am surprised it can take 10 minutes for the GPS to get a proper lock. I guess it's a power saving measure.

But fast OSM renderers exist. Take a look at

for an example. It's perfectly smooth. The application is closed source but the underlying renderer (VTM) is LGPL3. The renderer, https://github.com/mapsforge/vtm, is basically an OpenGL alternative for the mapsforge offline maps format and maintained by the same guy (the original mapsforge renderer is arguably a bit slow, struggling to hide its slowness behind cached tile bitmaps).
The reverse is the problem here: your domain, somebody elses server

Jellyfin has some SmartTV native apps.

Or rather than making your panel dependent on some already-out-of-date-when-shipped embedded computing hardware, attach an external embedded computing device to the HDMI port (e.g. roku, firetv, appletv, shield, etc). and liberate your app experience to a more powerful device.

A Fire TV Lite (2020) starts at $30.

But when you start forcing wages it’s no longer a free market. Further, we only collectively decide wages by deciding what we will or won’t pay for something. And finally, you cannot escape value. If you arbitrarily say someone’s labor is worth some value, then other labor that is more valuable is still worth more. EX: Burger flipper vs Pharmacist.

That is the originally supplied reasoning that Apple gave the developer.

> Gustafson says Apple contacted him on December 29th and told him Amphetamine “appears to promote inappropriate use of controlled substances. Specifically, your app name and icon include references to controlled substances, pills.”

That sure sounds like Apple is trying to protect people from "inappropriate use of controlled substances", or more colloqually, "protecting people from drugs".
I should have read more comments before posting, but it seems I reinvented an inferior wheel:

For me? I care mainly about 2D and 3D scatter plots of large datasets. The GPU acceleration and automatic subsampling means that animated or interactive scatter plots of large amounts of data (for me it's language vectors) is super easy and fast rather than slow and crappy with matplotlib...

(I think matplotlib has an openGL backend that slightly improves but doesn't fix the issues with matplotlibs handling of large datasets)
It's in fact the dangerous pattern used to illustrate the linter under discussion here.

> The "Uncanny Valley" only exists in two dimensions.

The original Uncanny Valley hypothesis came out of robotics back in 1970, its application to computer graphics came decades later.

I don't even think 2D vs 3D plays much of a role, a realistic Luke Skywalker wax figure will look just as uncanny as CGI Luke in Mandalorian.

I find deepfakes interesting in this regard, as while they look much more realistic than most CGI, they never go uncanny. They can go a bit glitchy, blurry and might not look like a perfect replica of the faked person, but they still end up looking like person, not like an uncanny CGI copy.

If you have many tabs open, it’s good to schedule some time to put these into a bookmark manager, memex, org brain, tiddlywiki, or equivalent. I’ve found they’re open usually because the work on each tab is unfinished.

> I didn't know Zig can provide memory safety using it's features.

Yes, although this is done through runtime checks (that can be optionally disabled) rather than through static sound guarantees (Rust uses runtime checks in some cases, too). The language's simplicity and fast compilation helps with other types of correctness, too (i.e. beyond memory safety).

> Although I am sceptical about the claim that in truly safety-critical domains Rust would not be adopted where Zig would

I don't know if Zig would, but Rust has several problems for such domains that C and Zig don't: porting it is a challenge (both Rust itself and LLVM are very complex), understanding what a program does is a challenge (a lot of implicit behaviour), and handling allocation failures is a challenge.
I had not looked at Nim before, but certainly will do. If anything, GTK is lacking a bit HOWTOs, which give the beginner a guide, which APIs to use for a certain task. So I will give this a good look. Personally, I have used GTK from Go, which also is a nice match for the API.
Tutorial: Host a Local Podman Image Registry
>Why is there a difference (or double standard) in how Apple treats those who can afford to buy an iPhone to those who are forced to build them?

Because the second group is at their mercy (or, the suppliers mercy, where chinese, taiwanese, indian, etc) for feeding their families, "free market" BS aside.

That's not Apple, that's capitalism in general (or any system where you're not given something like a UBI or ample social wealfare so that you can only work on production lines and such by choice).

It's not just capitalism as in capitalist's either. The whole "western world" benefits from such cheap goods, even people working McJobs at home. That said, there's a balance there, because after some point working/middle class jobs also go abroad, and new ones replacing them domestically are either crappier lower-wage than before or not-created. The 10% will always benefit from cheaper goods though - and they will be those with high quality jobs that can't/won't yet be jobs outsourced.

Now, pro-market people would say that at least this guys the developing countries some jobs, they wouldn't have otherwise, and low/exploitative wages and conditions of work are better than no jobs at all.

(That's debatable: often the developing folk are forced to go work in the cities/factories because of policies devastating their rural communities, not because of some free choice to "ascend" themselves in the rat race).

IMHO, the alternative would require either some kind of universal raise of both salaries (to total global equality) and costs of living (to same), or trade and outsourcing restrictions (so to avoid the race to the bottom).
I know what you mean. However the one benefit of democracy is that there is at least, well at least meant to be, some rule of law and protection of civilian rights.

If you look at China, super successful, but a dictatorship where they will just kill you if you are not agreeable to them.

Invariably dictatorships devolve into what is in China, and other examples from years past.

That’s a very scary world to live in.
Wow, inconsistency across Operating systems "papered over" to look like Unix everywhere and a library importing the world is enough to make you think Rust is better than Go?

Yikes.

“sleek design, responsive speed, and suite of keyboard shortcuts to improve a user’s email efficiency”

I have no intention of trying this, but I have very little doubt that Mutt is superior in these regards to something that runs in a browser.

“Part of its feature offering includes read statuses, which is useful for executives and sales people who like to keep a pulse on their conversations.”

Seriously?

The article closes with:

Sounds like the future that I’ve been living in for 20 years, using free software.

You can't: the web server has to accept the connection to know the hostname. The best you can do is close the connection immediately without sending a response if it's an unknown hostname.

I believe that at least with Apache and nginx doing this requires using a non-default module.

Apple is not the problem here, it’s our collective psychotic reaction to the existence of drugs in our societies.

Amphetamines are literally medication. Its negative connotation are purely a result of older generations freaking out and trying to control a future they inevitably will have no part of.

Why do we accept the fantasies of these old fanatics, who are demonstrably clueless about the most basic mechanisms of human society?

Oh yes, Google's colour scheme seems heavily geared towards the map only ever serving as an inconspicuous geographical background for displaying routing information or POIs.

When you actually want to use it as a map in its own right, it's absolutely infuriating, though – forests disappear when you zoom in, the distinction between built-up areas and surrounding open space does so likewise, so all you're left with is lots of faint white streets on a light grey background with some random green spaced dotted around.

I agree with most of what you say. The walled garden bullshit they pull with the iphone and their other products should not be legal. I don't care if customers "want it". Just as apple is willing to call it's prospective customers who want more control over it's products "stupid", I will call anyone who knowingly buys a device they fundementally don't control (e.g. no sudo) "stupid". In situations where customers are "stupid", proper recourse can be found through government and/or legal action.

It's especially bad because apple legitimately makes better built products than competitors. It's too bad that they use this lucrative position to take a sh*t all over not-"stupid" customers while simultaneously baiting the uninformed masses into giving away their computing freedom.

Proper adblocking is not even a consideration for most iphone users. Apple users have few defenses against predatory marketing and attention leeches. That's horrible for society, and a user shouldn't be forced to choose between good build quality and controlling their device...
> I definitely have a browsing addiction.

I agree. I think what most people have are "News" or information Addiction. Where as news is any update on Social Media, Current Trends on Pop, Music, Movies, Tech, Politics, Economics etc.

There were a few research paper suggesting News being the biggest addiction, much more so than porn. And Smartphone addiction is by nature an extension of this news addiction.

Did my Idol post something on IG?

Did my soccer / football team sign a new centre back?

Did Apple finally released a new Keyboard with more travel distances?

New Covid Variant?

Is there a confirmation email for my job? Or you know somehow you are expected to reply your email within 30min with your current employer.

A lot of these are preying on our human curiosity. And Smartphone is only a Terminal, where Internet / Mobile Network is the connection. It is the same before Smartphone with Internet on PC, or good old fashion TV.

We dont have an addiction to any of these devices, we have addiction to those content. And it has been like for that decades, blaming everything on Smartphone is simple and easy enough. But doesn't really help with the real problem.
