Mostly the latter, I would assume. Apple didn't really use anything other than Objective-C for its application frameworks (and still generally does not, for the most part).
I know some people who have been called a Nazi for less and for longer.
"radicals" that brought us the 40 hour work week. That brought us birth control. That brought us voting rights for all.

All of these were "radical" at their time. The only reason they're not anymore is because they have become mainstream. Maybe you should check your assumptions about how life is and read some history of how we got here.

"defund the police" is something that has been vocalized for decades, if not centuries. You should ask yourself what has lead up in your education to accept state monopoly on violence, especially when that violence is enacted unfairly against certain minorities. What makes you think that is "normal", but people wanting cops to be less of a massive force in society are "radical".
I really wish we could move beyond this tired thought-stopper in these equally tired debates.
I'm not saying the average joe should try to go run a 100 miles untrained.

I'm saying that the average person could easily push themselves more in the athletic realm. If a dude has been going to the gym for a while and can't bench their body weight or run a few miles they're probably not pushing themselves at all.

But surely the majority of those cars have a short commute. We have a BMW i3 which has a relatively small 33kWh battery, and we usually charge it less than twice per week.

A car with a longer range wouldn't need to be charged that often.
> and anonymous use will be illegal.

Super interesting that you mention this. I was just thinking the other day about what an absolute dumpster fire "the internet" is due to anonymity (obviously that's not the _only_ reason, but it's a non-trivial reason). This idea that "Let's give people the ability to be anonymous, and somehow, that's gonna make us all bond together and be better" is pretty hilarious in hindsight. Anonymity seems to just bring the worst out of people (that's not a tech problem, that's a human/culture problem). I would personally love to see a "web" where you have to comment...as your public self. Post messages...as your public self (not just on an individual platform level). So on and so forth.

I 1000% agree that eventually people will need some type of unique identifier to operate on the internet. And I'll take it a little further and say that in the future, anonymity will be reserved for the wealthy primarily.
Too bad it’s only for Enterprise and not Teams.
> It's something to say "hey, we realize that you exist!"

It seems like there should be a way to do that without feeding into the whole Culture War thing. The holidays generally fall on different days. Why not say "Merry Christmas" on Dec 25 and say "Happy Hannukah" on the appropriate date(s), etc.? That would be more inclusive without appearing to snub anyone, and it would be interesting to hear about holidays you might not otherwise be aware of.
Well that’s the problem with one version of tolerance that thinks that tolerance means minimizing our differences and avoiding anything that might offend another person. A better approach is embracing our cultural differences and trying to find ways that we compliment each other and work toward common goals, while respecting the goals we disagree on instead of demonizing the other side.
I'm talking about the debt incurred by the Government in order to provide assistance to the unemployed and the businesses that were struggling. Trillions of dollars of debt (in addition to 20-30 trillion dollar debt already incurred) is not something that one generation can manage.
What makes you think the future will be so dystopian? In Western countries such as the United States citizens have a high level of political participation and awareness of various issues. If the government attempts to unilaterally throttle the Internet there will be such a large uproar that our political leaders will be overturned on the next election. Plus, the newly voted-in Democratic leadership has a policy of advocating for the freedom of the web. So your fears of a dystopian, throttled Internet seem unfounded to me.
There are 20 other ways to reduce emission in the cases you mention.

Look up different plane designs from the 1970s.

You can still (I think) go into a corner shop and get a SIM for cash in the UK which gives you access to online data. Can probably even top up the data allowance with cash too. Get a second hand phone for cash from someone like CEX and you're pretty much anonymous, I think (barring opsec snafus.)
Is it possible it could also be from constant heating and cooling cycles as it orbits?
To motivate you further, I have been doing for 30 days or so, and I love it. More energy, better workouts, deeper meditation sessions and improved mood. Hope it works for you as well.
In the context of the time, C++ didn't exist yet. Objective-C was actually introduced just prior to C++, and both languages were effectively solving the same problem in different ways: C was the dominant language, and both language designers were trying to graft the OOP paradigm onto it.

Objective-C is a thin-layer on top of C, adding Smalltalk-inspired object support. That's pretty much all there is to it. C, with some new syntax for objects. In the context of a world where C is the norm, that's pretty appealing. This is before Java existed, too.

The "NSWhatever" stuff, as far as I'm aware, isn't part of the language. That's all in the frameworks Apple/NEXT developed for Objective-C. (Note that the base object is called Object, not NSObject, and the integer class is Integer.) NSString is probably named that way because Objective-C doesn't include a string class (nor does C, as a string is just an array of bytes until you write a wrapper to get fancy) and NEXT made one. They were just namespacing the NEXTStep classes.
Save a seat for the Flex Seal guy.
The language was selected by NeXT and then later used pervasively in Mac OS X as a result. This left Apple as the main driver of its development.

a year ago I bought a used 2016 nissan leaf for driving around town for 11k.

it's the best car i've ever owned. the design is ugly, the generic silver is hideous, but i'm so emotionally attached to it. i don't drive my really nice (and newer) VW GTI anymore.

Yes but I can take my laptop to my friend's place and use their internet, seemingly as someone who lives in that house. I think OP is talking more so about an ID (like driver's license type of thing) to use the internet. So that one might be able to say person X visited site Y (again, we have something similar to that now, but not exactly)
I think your argument is: sure, I'm distributing over here with way fewer rights than normal, but it's also available over there with all the rights, and it's the exact same stuff and so that's good enough. And I see why you'd think that, it's not completely unreasonable, but it's just not how the license is worded.

It's either GPL with all the rights that entails, or you can't (legally) redistribute it at all.

Now, if you own the copyright you can give out as many parallel licenses as you want. But pidgin & libpurple have been around for 20 or more years and have had many, many contributors, and they have to explicitly give up their copyright or consent to the license change to do what you propose. That's theoretically not impossible, but it's a lot of work.

This is why some projects require you to sign copyright-assignment agreement before they will take your patches—it gives the project more flexibility to change the license in the future.
>"Developers of open-source software don't recieve any resources just because they are releasing software freely to the public."

Not monetarily perhaps; that is true (Side note; here's there's

one hell of a business opportunity

if there isn't already some company trying to figure out how to

monetize open source software

, but that's a side discussion, a digression...)

So you are correct -- but your correctness applies to a limited scope.

To understand this, let's revisit your statement:

>"Developers of open-source software don't recieve any resources just because they are releasing software freely to the public."

Now, we agreed that monetarily this is true...

But do me a favor, will you?

Go up to any Open Source developer; any software developer who has contributed to an Open Source project -- and ask them one simple question:

That question is:

"Have you ever used Open Source Software that you didn't write, that you didn't create?"

You see, I'll bet that 99.44% of them answer in the affirmative; that is, in a firm and resounding "Yes".

So now, you're telling me that the free use of other people's open source software -- ISN'T a resource?

(I don't know, but I think they have a saying in French "Permettez-moi de ne pas croire" ("permit me to disbelieve" <g>))

Have you ever heard of something called Linux?

?

That's not "receiving a resource" ?

?

In fact, even if you are not an Open Source Developer -- you are receiving the benefit of Hacker News -- which is running on Linux -- as are a huge amount of other people, myself included!

Or, what about all of the other websites that people use that run on Linux?

Surely that's "receiving a resource" ?

Half of the damn Internet as we know it today -- is provided by Linux and other Open Source Software that forms the stack, that serves half of all websites in existence today...

That's not a "receiving a resource" ?

What about all of the free information that the Internet provides?

That's not "receiving a resource" ?

An intellectual one?

As opposed to a monetary one?

Socialism/Marxism/Communism (and I am not defending any of them, nor their implementations, nor all of the problems that they have caused in historical contexts) all derive from the simplest of all simple ideas, which might be expressed (to a Christian) as "Charity", but that were expressed by Marx as "From each according to ability, to each according to need". Yes, historically, implemented to the scale of governments, this has caused many wars, much bloodshed, countless millions of lives lost, etc., etc.

But the central idea (although poorly implemented historically by governments) was that of sharing, helping others, etc., etc.

If you truly cannot see this central idea present, then I cannot help you.

But you post your very message on an Internet whose totality was half-created by this idea...
Objective-C is verbose not just because of the NS suffixes. Everything is verbose (by today standards anyway). ObjC is a "child" of the 1980's when verbosity was considered a merit and a norm in programming.

Two things that I used to like about it:

- Combination of static typing and at the same time pretty high level dynamic typing: it was practically possible to call any method on any object, right or wrong, just like in dynamic languages. For performance critical parts you could always resort to C. Later, as a little bonus it was also possible to resort to... C++. There was such a beast as Objective-C++.

- The method calling syntax. Quite unusual but neat. I liked it a lot.

However, Swift ruined it for me. Now that I'm a total Swift convert and I feel a 2x or even 3x boost in productivity I can't even look at Objective-C code anymore.
That’s fair enough. CAN is pretty complex. But still, I’m seeing a lot of ability to mimic waveforms being passed off as “custom hardware protocols”. It’s a cool peripheral, but IDK about any type of “game changer”.

If we look at Cypress’s PSOC, that’s real FPGA fabric on their micros and it’s barely capable of making some hardware protocols. I’m pretty sure there isn’t enough there for CAN going back to that example.

I always find it funny that holocaust denial is not allowed, yet half the holocaust is never to be called the holocaust.

In the west it's said that only Jews were ever to be exterminated.

Yet the first work camps were for socialists, the first death camps were hospitals for the disabled, the first extermination camps were for Russian pows and extermination camps murdered 6 million Slavs, Gypsies and homosexuals. There's even a little book written by Hitler himself that details what will happen to the Slavs once he won.

But somehow the official line that it's only Jews that were targeted is not holocaust denial.
> I would personally love to see a "web" where you have to comment...as your public self.

Why Traditional Companies Struggle with Remote Work
Hull is definitely not decomposing or degrading. If left in peace at sufficiently high altitude it would look the same in a million years.

My bet is the issue is most likely stresses due to vibrations under pressure and pressure changes. It is complex but also well known problem. As the astro/kosmonauts move about the station, resupply dock, pressure changes, etc. some parts are being subject to constantly changing stresses while already being stressed due to pressure.

It might also be possible that there are some additional thermal stresses but I think it is less likely these are source of the problem.
To be fair to OP, I wasn't meaning to call them out (in the sense of shaming or other effects). I legitimately found it amusing that they used, or appeared to use, rhetorical methods like the one in the article.

But look at half (or more by the time I click 'reply') the comments here. They're discussing whether or not there is a War on the War on Christmas, they fell into the same rhetorical trap the article itself is discussing. This is great entertainment and a wonderful way to clear my mind at the end of work on a slow Friday.

> I'm much less reliant/tethered to everything on my computer.

I agree with pretty much everything you said, but I also agree it doesn't argue against the author. That is to say "why not both?" I remember using NT on a domain with active directory profiles in the 90s, and while my memory is quite foggy, I believe some settings were carried between computers on my profile.

In the world of today, I can lock my taskbar on the side instead of the bottom and set my wallpaper, and the customization is saved to my Microsoft account, and loaded on other computers when I login (unless there's a local override, like Bing Wallpaper.)

But I believe colors (like your Accent Color) is still specific to each device. And I have no idea why - though I don't mind since I like using a different color on my laptop and desktop.

I'm rambling, but I think they could still allow all the customization, but also store parts of it on the cloud and carry it with you.

GTK3 is slightly better than GTK2 on macOS and GTK4 is getting a lot better with a paid developer working on it.
RISC vs CISC is not real. Anyone writing articles about it is uninformed and you should ignore them. (However, it's also not true that all ISAs perform the same. x86-64 actually performs pretty well though and has good memory density - see Linus's old rants about this.)

ARM64 is a good ISA but not because it's RISC, some of the good parts are actually moving away from RISCness like complex address operands.

I've driven through Germany last summer, tried 3 different charging stations, none of them worked. Or rather, they did, but I couldn't set up the app for them, one because it didn't have an English option, one because it wouldn't accept my non-German card and another because it was giving me an extremely helpful "unspecified" error. But even here in UK it's a mess. There is a charging station near my home that seems to be out of order 90% the time. There is another one where I can't set up an account and their customer support is non existent. Funnily enough the best experiences I ever had with charging stations in the UK were always at Shell charging stations - plug in, tap your payment card on the side, done. No apps, no stupid fobs or anything, it's easier than paying for petrol. I really do think that legislation should come in to force all providers to accept card payment at the charger, even if the cost is higher(offer discount to account holders, but at least let me pay even without an account)

It was originally developed by Cox's company in the mid 1980s, and then adopted by Steve Jobs' company NeXT in the late 1980s as the official language of NextStep. The Apple connection is only that Apple bought NeXT and that its OS X is really just a Mac-skinned version of NextStep.
Yes, Vultr allows you to exceed the loaded amount

The difference is due at the end of the month. If I didn't pay, they would simply charge the last credit card I used to load the account (I suppose)

Another example: Linode (https://www.linode.com/) charges my credit card at the end of each month, to cover my usage. So a $5 cloud instance isn't paid for until the month ends. The point is to aggregate a whole month of spending into a single credit card payment
> I don't think mens rea is particularly relevant when it comes to the actions of corporations. It's not at all clear to me what it would mean for a corporation to have intent.

But we do distinguish in regulated engineering disciplines.

1. Held accountable how?

2. Toward what end?

--

Facebook has good engineers, but they're not gods. It is not possible to write a perfect -- or perhaps even passably good -- "political extremism" filter.

Shifting blame from "the algorithm" to "the engineers" or "the corporation" completely misses the whole fucking point: there is no spec for "perfectly functional political extremism filter". 0.000% of the people calling for "politically neutral moderation" have any god damn clue how to define the thing that are asking for, even in a natural language, let alone a language precise enough to implement.

Just look at the rhetoric used. People blame in passive voice "corporations" and "engineers", while criticizing others for using passive voice to blame "the algorithm". I'm not saying that we don't need a base level of QC and corporate responsibility. I even think Software people should be folded into Professional Engineering with all of the personal responsibility that entails! But we need to be very realistic about the fact that engineers are not Gods who can Solve Politics.

Hell, even if you erase inherent political tension this is still an impossible task. Can you write down a filter that's perfectly biased toward liberal speech? No.

So, again, Held accountable how? Toward what end? Unless your answer is "purposefully kill all social media including HN", mens rea matters.
You can also ask to use your friends social ID. The only reason why you'd find it odd is that you're not used to it.
