I feel like these trackers (Firebase Analytics and Visual Studio Crash Reporting) need to be looked at in context of the data they actually send and who they report to. According to the thread

> In the Mobile apps, Firebase Cloud Messaging (often mistaken for a tracker) is used only for push notifications related to sync and performs absolutely no tracking functions. Microsoft Visual Studio App Center is used for crash reporting on a range of mobile devices. In the Web Vault, Stripe and PayPal scripts are used for payment processing only on payment pages.

Compare this to LastPass where it was feeding data to Google Analytics and MixPanel, which do much more invasive levels of analysis in general.

So the author didn't follow up on some debt he owed to Apple, he missed the email about it and it now complaining with a clickbait title that Apple is blocking accounts almost like Google.

To me it seems nothing special, issue appears, he has an email on what exactly the issue is but he misses that email and feels like blames Apple for blocking he's accounts.

The key learnings from this one:

- Don't put your eggs in one basket - separate services for email, photo backup, messages and such

- Pay attention to your email, bank statement and follow-up on trade-in credit you receive if you have not actually traded in your item.

I don't like the sensationality of this title, I would go with more: "I missed an email about an important payment from Apple and now they disable my account"

It's a humongous engineering project and I can see what they're doing. It's a super painful and long transition, but where they've finished the transition, I like it. Very nicely organized, searchable, it makes a lot of sense, it's consistent. It's a great UI, we're just in the middle of the construction site.

Still wondering how it became the general consensus that password managers are secure. I wouldn't store my passwords in any online system.
I would like to add to this that real instruments are much more complicated in their sound. If you take a look at the frequency histogram of one of those, you'll realize that what you might call a theory of pure frequencies, while perhaps adequate for explaining melody (several notes put together) is nowhere enough for explaining sound. Just like salty/fatty/sweet/sour is nowhere enough for explaining taste.

This is also why it is so incredibly difficult to make a realistic sounding synthesizer.

If you want to play with this, search for a sample pack and try running a couple of the sounds from that through sox to get a histogram.
Just use flatbuffers/capnproto.
To some extent the affordable alternative to the "microwave culture" is to surround yourself with good quality artifacts from earlier versions of it. I cherish a nesting set of Pyrex bowls in avocado green that I got from an elderly lady at a garage sale. Or a couple of "Flint Stainless" brand kitchen utensils that give me more satisfaction to use than any other alternatives. Or the cast iron pans in multiple sizes that are our primary cookware. Or the mismatched knives, some of which came from the thrift store. Or the framed art posters, some of which were curb picks. All those items were once generic, but having been removed from their era, are now interesting and distinctive.

Even the house. I like the style of it, but it was built in 1970 in what was then a cookie cutter exurb out in farmland. But it has a 60x100 foot lot and mature trees in the front and backyards. Sure, it has the "paper thin doors" derided in the article, but it also has long-strip oak hardwood floor in most of it, again, high-end generic at the time, practically unobtainium now. You can have even more character by moving further into town, of course. But I don't want to move outward to the land of engineered floor joists and PEX plumbing, even if both actually work better and aren't just cheaper to make and install.

None of the principal rooms' furniture contains any particleboard. But here I was lucky to have had an artisan father who made over half of it. Still, junk can be affordably avoided for the rest as long as everything doesn't have to be a matching set.

Paint - after once painting a room in what ended up pretty close to "builder beige" I resolved never to do that again. The latest bathroom repaint is in a kind of orangey peach. A bit of WTF on the part of the spouse (who tolerates, and even appreciates, most of the above) initially, but even she likes the splash of colour in our lives now.

As for the microwave: We have that of course and boy is it handy for reheating leftovers. But there is a toaster oven next to it that is used more. Did you even know how good toaster ovens can be? The thermostat in mine is spot on accurate (I checked with a thermocouple probe). I've baked cakes and pastries in a succession of toaster ovens, sometimes outside on the deck on hot days.
Well i haven't really gotten used to the name "Element" yet, it's as bland as it gets.

The problem is there's a massive, costly overhead to trying to find quality goods - that's why the mainstream persists.

Spend a week drilling through websites trying to figure out any one product - say taps. What's a good tap? What makes a good tap? Are there brands considered good, are they actually good? Can you reasonably get them in your area?

After a week or more you might have some idea about any of this. And then the next week you're on to cupboard sliders...and then all of this can't be outsourced because the OP's note - that plenty of people are happy to take your money and do not even slightly better.

At which point, "it works for now" becomes more important if that's not your life's ambition.
Bitwarden has one critical feature that makes it unusable. For example, one feature that has been "in the works" for last 3+ years : "auto-save newly created passwords with a prompt" [0]. I understand that it is a different model than LastPass but 3y+ for a critical feature is one of the reasons BitWarden is not the first choices.

AFAIK, Matrix does not support Video chat yet?

But the VoIP/audio chat is using WebRTC, so Matrix is only the signalling server and the audio is p2p between the participants. As such the strain on the hosting server should be minimal
Autovectorization for SIMD is, well, not great. The worst problems with it are when you run it against already SIMDed code (it tends to mess it up), which doesn't apply here, but it also tends to fail a lot and it relies on a lot of memory aliasing info. That's why it works well in Fortran, which is much looser than C.

I think a reasonable portable bytecode would have stricter memory rules than C and so would be harder to optimize like this.

So that's why I proposed having variants, but you could also invent some abstract vector operations and then scalarize them if they're not available. That's how shader languages do it.

I downvoted you because you used racism and genocide as a thought-stopping cliché.

There is no reason to ignore that countries like Niger will inevitably run into even more problems if they continue reproducing according to contemporary UN models. The projections go to 70 million people for Niger in 2050, and they have actually slightly underestimated African population growth in the past.

Feeding 70 million people in a mostly desert country with no industry to speak of is a real issue and it should not be ignored just because America has developed an allergy on anything that might be construed as racism.

I’m in Japan, with an English-language Amazon account, yet Prime insists on displaying Japanese subtitles on absolutely every thing I watch. Doesn’t matter what the original language of the content is, doesn’t provide an option to turn it off. Huge, bright white subtitles - much bigger than what Netflix uses. Been this way for years.

Sometimes I have fantasies about sending an email direct to Jeff Bezos just to say: dude, did you know about this?

Suffice to say, I don’t watch much Prime.

>It's not at all hard to believe if you've been playing video games for a while.

Yes, modern games are so inefficient and laggy nowadays. Once your game world reaches a certain size it becomes unplayable and that's just in single player. Once you add 10 players you start to hit performance limits very quickly.

I'm getting a little more relaxed about Kessler Syndrome the more I look into it, at least in the short term. Each of those icons is about 10km across and the satellites are at different orbital altitudes. Also objects in LEO eventually drop into the atmosphere due to drag. As you move out of LEO the average distances between satellites balloons. For satellites in geosynchronous orbit each one is allocated a 'box' around 70km across although they can drift especially when they lose power and there are some in rogue orbits.

For comparison it's estimated that approximately 100 tons of pebbles and dust fall into the atmosphere every day, and plenty more just drifts past Earth continuously. We do need to come up with better mitigating controls and accidents will happen, but I think it's achievable.
Definitely. I don't know if developers for e.g. TV apps get much choice in the matter, but it's like native vs webapps. The Amazon app feels like a webapp, while Netflix like a native app (this is on LG's WebOS).

And I know Apple is a weird one there. On the Apple TV, they offer pretty much a version of iOS. There's multiple options to build your UI, but iirc you can build it native if you want to.

And this has been Apple's differentiator; they were FAST. The code for apps compiled down to native, as opposed to a lot of Java based phones at the time (and later with Android).

I've always maintained that Apple had a 5 year head start on Android when it comes to performance (as well as UX, even in their skeuomorphic designs), and after 5 years it was mainly Android smartphone companies focusing on more performance than the Android OS or apps becoming faster. It was Android phones that went for quadcore (and beyond) processors first, while Apple was just fine with a single core, and later, almost reluctantly, a dualcore. Simply because their earlier technology choices made their stuff so much faster and more efficient.

I'm so glad Apple didn't go ahead and make web technology the main development path, as they initially planned (or so I gathered).
YES. Just couple days ago I've mangled `config.fish` with wrong use of `$fish_user_path` and was wondering why my shell started throwing errors of `$PATH` being too long, which duplicated itself to infinity and beyond. That's what you get when you don't read the docs fully.
The problem is that it isn't true, you can say things that they agree with without being banned, but say anything even slightly leftish and it's insta-ban.
WhatsApp was selling you access to your account. Element is selling you access to an instance which you can share with as many users as you want.
I rather think most devs have overpowered hardware for developing - and simply don't notice performance drops directly on consumer hardware.
Google set the bad precedent by appearing to abuse their monopoly on the search market.
As a counterpoint, I recently switched from an old iPhone SE to a Pixel 4a and the experience could not have been any better. I find the vanilla Android to be as snappy as iOS for daily tasks if not better.
The problem lies with custom Android ROMs on low spec phones which do hamper the user experience quite a bit

If you've never been an asshole sometimes, congratulations, you're an elite member of 0.0001% of the population of the world.

The idea that "is sometimes an asshole" means "is a bad person" is flat-out wrong, and is a big part of what is wrong with the internet: you get a short, context-free soundbite of something that may or may not have actually happened, and that's it for someone's career and life's work.

I read all four parts of his story, and found it riveting. Life is in the details.

I think this article skips the most important aspect of DDD.

Reducing Complexity.

If you’re building simple systems, you don’t need DDD and Evans has always been clear about that.

But when you have a complex system, using DDD to “pull it apart” is highly effective.

What you build from the parts is subject to that rule as well. If you end up with ten boundaries and some of them are simple, use simple tools.

DDD isn’t a religion. It’s meant to get architects to stop designing monoliths that we know have costly lifespans.

It’s also meant to get us modeling with our business partners with tools like Event Storming and truly understanding strategic opportunities.

DDD isn’t just about root aggregates and value objects.

It’s a communication tool and a pretty damn good one.

I've seen this argument a lot but I'm not sure how well it holds. The price for performance ratio on cloud providers is so poor that you can overprovision in advance (to mitigate the extra delay involved in adding extra hardware) and still come out ahead.

Also, bare-metal doesn't necessarily mean owning the hardware. You can rent it too. There are providers that provide bare-metal in one-click and sometimes available within minutes.

Interesting, back in the day the coolest CTD I did was to simply crank up the combo multiplier in S4 League to crash the game client on every player in the room except mine since that game was peer to peer and thus any form of hacking (teleportation, infinite melee range, instant kill, immortality, etc) was possible. The combo multiplier was set to 256 and thus every single particle was duplicated 256 times and this caused the game to crash.

I enjoy eating good food as much as anyone - too much, perhaps, given that I am overwheight.

And yet if I could just stop eating, I would give it up in an instant. If I could somehow change my body so it syntetized the nutrients it needs from water, CO2 and sunlight, I would do it immediately. I would gladly give up my sense of taste and my digestive system, if the process required it, provided that I am still able to do all the tasks I do every day, and that the resulting alterations are not repulsive to my peers or myself.

I find eating very pleasant and very enjoyable, but I don't think about it as something that "makes me human", the same way I don't think about ... "excreting the residues" or "having colon cancer" as deeply human. To me it is impossible to ignore that it is first and foremost something I am fundamentally obligated to do in order to prolong my existence, and I would give it away just not to have that obligation/dependency.

I also happen to think that a lot of the impact we have on the environment and other species comes from our need to eat. It would be extremely beneficial to the biosphere if we all ate more plants, but it would be even better if we stopped eating altogether (or, if we only needed eating while growing up).
