In fact, Steve Job’s WWDC 2007 launch, his “one more thing” for iPhone was that you could develop and distribute apps, web apps with icons using iPhone APIs: Web 2.0 + AJAX, integrate w/ iPhone services, instant distribution, easy to update, secure ...

Apple originally intended the iPhone to be open in this way, for HTML5 apps you’d get from anywhere. Similar to Palm Pre, and other devices of the time. There was no “app store”.

For a while after the app store, even the “native” apps toyed with being really just HTML5 apps in a wrapper (e.g. Facebook famously went that way before eventually going back). Those HTML5 app features have gotten better, not worse, but its almost as though devs haven’t ever seen or tried this approach.

This 2018 Medium article talks about how really “It’s been PWA all along”. Note that as time passes, more native API access is brought through securely, not less:

As of 2018: https://medium.com/@firt/progressive-web-apps-on-ios-are-her...

And as of 2021: https://firt.dev/pwa-2021/

That’s a somewhat anti-Apple take. Going back to the beginning, you can already see Apple struggling with implications of native API vs. openness.

See this October 2007 open letter from Steve Jobs:

“[We] were trying to do two diametrically opposed things at once — provide an advanced and open platform to developers while at the same time protect iPhone users from viruses, malware, privacy attacks, etc. This is no easy task. Some claim that viruses and malware are not a problem on mobile phones — this is simply not true. There have been serious viruses on other mobile phones already, including some that silently spread from phone to phone over the cell network. As our phones become more powerful, these malicious programs will become more dangerous. And since the iPhone is the most advanced phone ever, it will be a highly visible target.”

As you watch these features release over a decade, this concept seems still in Apple’s DNA — they generally seem to continue to aim to reconcile that balancing act and not provide access until satisfied w/ compromises being made.

If you’re in a position of Parler, aiming for a non-family-friendly space, you may be better off making compromises of your own so you are not dependent on Apple or Google’s curated experiences, you can access the same audience directly.
When looking for a job after university, I once got invited to an interview via a recruiter who - as they do - said I'd be a great fit. I booked a train ticket for the Monday interview, with multiple hours of leeway, and said I'd be glad to attend.

On the Friday morning before the interview, the recruiter gave me a rough idea of what kind of technical questions they'd ask me.

They were nothing like my area of expertise.

If something like this happened to me today, I'd cancel the interview, apologise to all the parties, and wouldn't drive there on the day of the interview. But I was a poor student, I didn't drive, I'd already bought the train ticket and, with the limited funds I had, being able to go to any further interviews was contingent on me getting paid expenses for this interview.

So I spent the weekend dreading the interview, skipped Monday's lectures, and went to my ritual humiliation. During one excruciating question about AC motors, I came within seconds of telling the interviewers that it wasn't going to work out. But, to ensure I got the train fare back, I had to do appear to be trying my hardest.

Every person involved lost out that day.

Yes, not so much.

* Adoption of Credit card and NFC payment on real shop is growing.

* Smoking in restaurant/bar/road is well restricted

* Haneda airport add a runway, by plane flying over Tokyo

* Airbnb is allowed in some situation because of lack of hotels for audiences

* R-18 Porn books are removed from convenience store (IMO it's bad for people who not affordable to internet, it should be zoned but not banned)

* It is rumored that police forces print industry/digital content shop to strictly hide/put mosaic on that on porn content, due to the Olympic. (Why it matters??)
So I have to ask, is there actually a member of this community that uses Oracle Cloud? To be completely honest I'm surprised
What makes Harvard elite is the demand for the grads, under the belief that they are, on average, somehow stronger employees than graduates from a random “University of State”.

There’s data to suggest that applying to Harvard is a stronger predictor of lifetime outcomes than the incremental prediction provided by graduating is. So, much of the benefit is provided before campus, but that doesn’t mean that 5x as many people would get the benefit if only they’d be convinced to fill out that application by virtue of admissions being driven by rolling dice.

why does this remind me of how Mr. Wonderful aka Kevin O'Leary or vice versa... somebody's going to get paid with little to nothing, but 0.026% of an investment somehow makes the price of some concept real...anyone else hears the echoing phrase "pump & dump"??
> First there is no way to falsify that assertion. It is completely unfalsifiable and unscientific.

Sure there is. If all the management at Boeing stayed in charge, there would be no MD executives and management to have tarnished Boeing's culture. But that's not what happened. MD DID take over management and DID change the culture.

>Second, there is no one from McDonnell here to defend them. This assertion is at best innuendo and at worst defamatory and tars McDonnell unfairly.

Really? It was pretty widely known throughout the industry what MD's culture and management was like. There's nobody to "defend them" because they considered the behavior perfectly acceptable.

>Let's say that the merger was the cause of all the evil. So what? Really, so what. The shareholders and employees of the combined entity have reaped the benefit of the merger for two decades.

So... I would hope we as a species realize there are limits to profit at all cost and learn from it??

As for proof, all you need to do look back to the mid-90s. I remember what a mess MD was, it's not hard to research.

Highlights include:

>All aerospace firms are cutting costs to match declining orders, but McDonnell Douglas does it with an unmatched aggression. It has shed 52 percent of its work force over the past seven years, dropping to 63,000 employees.

>Stonecipher defines one of his key roles as "making sure we employ not one person more than we absolutely need." He insists that company managers cut costs yearly, with "zero allowance for inflation."

Cutting costs to absolute 0 doesn't allow for a culture of quality and craftsmanship, period. Taking time and doing things right has excess spend by definition.

There's actually lots of interesting things about the Japanese housing market: it's not a speculative investment (most houses lose value), much of the housing is designed to be disposable (lifespan 20-30 years), rents are quite affordable even in the biggest cities but commutes are long and size tends to be tiny by Western standards.

But I agree that prefabs aren't particularly interesting.
rtorrent (with rutorrent) scales better, and unless you're using the deluge-gtk client, seems generally preferrable.
Oh, and the core isn't in (relatively) slow Python.
Sure! Feel free to expand on it I would be interested in hearing what you have to say. I hope it's at-least nuanced enough to understand that people can be turned away from a programing language's community when it starts to focus on political movements and other aspects unrelated to the language itself even if they don't disagree?

That's not even accounting for how perhaps the focus exclusively on American issues could leave the the rest of the world feeling less welcome?
Checked Zig. Doesn't have a memory manager. It's "free all at program termination" or manually manage memory like C.
I say Orange and you say Apple - /s It is a fact that they were deliberately throttling the performance of iDevices whose battery life were weak, without informing the users about this. And the lawsuit against them about this successfully proved this. Whatever you say cannot brush away this fact.
Anecdata-ly - while I was rejigging my home network and media setup (which necessitated disconnecting our previous video-streaming device), my partner started using the Netflix that was built-in to our TV. It performed admirably, and was actually more performant than the equivalent app we'd been using on [Fire TV Stick/PS4 - I forget which] previously.

By all means, rail against anti-privacy, overuse of IoT, adware/spying, etc. - but don't weaken your argument by assuming poor quality of things that _aren't_. It's perfectly possible for an app to do a bad thing well (in this case - spyware _and_ serving up high-quality video).
That require you to know the offset. That's no different than knowing what hour their morning starts.
I have had issues with the recent go plugin for VSCode too. The new version is unreliable and the language server needs a reboot fairly often. It is a real pain because when it breaks it often shows a compile error that you end up scratching your head over and a simple restart of the editor will often fix it. It definitely wastes time and needs addressing soon.

Klipper is great. It makes 8-bit control boards about as effective as 32-bit ones. Having a single easy to modify config file is nice too. There's some quirks about it that take a while to wrap your head around, but once you do there's really no going back (at least for me).
I'm in a similar boat thinking where are all those people in need of these things but then I look around and realise that 99.99% of the population will ever go as far as using Zapier and not because there's something wrong with it but because it's a good choice for most. Just last week had my colleague with zero tech knowledge connecting Zapier to a couple of systems in minutes savings the company money and more importantly,not delaying pretty important integration.

It works fine for pilots and many other industries populated by human beings.

Why exactly doesn't it work for humans again? Can you elaborate?

Irrational attachment to a specific number to wake and sleep on isn't really an answer.
> For a good number of years, I've been (foolishly, as it turns out) using the included Apache httpd to run small localhost-only stuff on my Mac laptop. In recent times, I found that every upgrade of the OS would revert my httpd.conf and it would need to be put back.

I did this too until very recently as well. Finally got around to just setting up a docker image serving data from ~/Sites. I think it was the switch to an unexpected php version which convinced me.

I've just taken a look through /etc/ for anything else I may have configured which got lost. Doesn't seem much I touched myself, but seeing lots of files like /etc/shells~orig and /etc/syslog.conf~previous which are odd.

So basically the entirety of Oracle Cloud is unreachable. Oops.

Edit: If you were wondering if Oracle really has that many regions, it's actually the same list repeated twice for "Networking" and "Console". Which means both the data and the control plane seem to have fallen off the face of the earth.
I suppose for appartments unit baths are prefab? Like just a sealed block with your toilet and bathtub, all in one package.

There's also just like... the shower room itself, even in nicer appartments, that ends up just being a block (see video of installation). Seems like a pretty good way of reducing issues like leaks or weird plumbing issues.

Weird. The recruiter did not show you the job description? Whenever there is a job sent by recruiter, I also ask for JD and the range of annual compensation. For the JD part, it is quite often that it is just a copy-paste from some employment website.
1. Nothing about it strikes me as dishonest.

2. Trying to understand (as in make space for) misapprehensions in the general public isn’t a matter of honesty it’s a matter of affordance.

3. The “opinion”, which is based in scientific fact, isn’t that we should “throw away” anything, but that we should use the abstraction where it’s useful without imposing it where it’s not: and especially where harmful.

4. Everything is a statistical anomaly that isn’t universal. Using that to dismiss the people who experience it is dehumanizing.

5. It’s not especially anomalous. The most recognizable anomalies are further from the most recognizable common cases, but the common cases are on a spectrum as well.

6. Your numbers are off by a couple orders of magnitude but those hundred exceptions matter to those humans.
If you can look at any widely used API that has existed for an extended period of time and not find a single tradeoff or hindsight flaw, you aren't looking hard enough.
I also find this strange. Not only are prefab homes done everywhere else in the world, but prefab homes and single family homes in general are not that common in Japan.

If you were going to take any lessons from Japan regarding housing, wouldn't it be more along the lines of how to build high density housing cost effectively in coordination with world class public transportation infrastructure?

We have had commercial flights for 80 years. We have had commercial rockets for 0 years.

The same arguments could've been made for train travel against planes at first. In my opinion, rockets are likely safer than planes in a non-fuel incident since they are built to have parachutes and other safety devices built in from the beginning beyond just gliding with the hopes rudders and flaps aren't affected.

Below a few thousand feet (if I recall), both rockets and planes have similar risks in my opinion. The most deadly planes crashes are in the first or last few minutes of the flight when they have the least altitude and speed to figure out a plan; similarly, if an incident occurs with a rocket in the first 90 seconds, there is a good chance of high fatalities.

Maybe I would argue that rockets _could_ be safer since they will spend less time in this dangerous altitude but I am neither an aerospace engineer nor a rocket scientist.
This is pretty neat. Apache license, it looks like.

The "problem" with the LG OLEDs (I own the 77C9) is that webOS is actually quite good, the interface + processor snappy, and the magic remote quite good for effortlessly switching between your favorite streaming services or Plex. Even with a Harmony remote, it takes 1-2 button clicks to get wherever I need to be.

By contrast, the cheaper Fire and Chromecast devices have always felt much more sluggish. I really want an nVidia Shield but I'm not dropping $200 on outdated hardware when I already have a fantastic HTPC hooked up to my TV.

Fwiw, I've managed to not accept a bunch of license agreements on my C9 and have avoided anything too egregious. It is a glorious panel though and I hope they don't monetize it to the point that you can't use it without an active internet connection.
Can't you just look at the power supply ratings? For example, 20A*12V would be 240W. Assume 80% efficiency, so 300W on the 120V side. Seems reasonable for an UPS designed to power a desktop.
I hear your struggle and commend you for seeking advice. If you don’t hear something that helps keep looking and asking.

While not a developer, I can relate. For me i’ve Accepted where my skills are compared to others. Ultimately my job affords me a lot of opportunity that other (possibly more fulfilling jobs) wouldn’t. So I focus on developing those areas outside work and just let my boring job pay my bills. I go to work to be paid. I accept It won’t delight me most of the time and will bore me frequently...which is fine because regardless of how I feel they pay me.

For me this is better than the alternative where I’m bored in a different way and making less.

Good luck on your journey
As somebody who chose the RV life because TinyHomes in the Us are a mess, I found this article riveting (heh).
This is def on my “to buy” list!
Sure, this is what our current software looks like but it's in the process of being redesigned:

[1] is an image comparing a list of trades with and without the scrollbar. The scrollbar literally hides an entire column's worth of data.

[2] is an image of a typical trader's layout so you can get a sense of the context and how the size of a scrollbar can add up.

As you can see, given that the scrollbar consumes around 20% of the width of a trade list, by eliminating it a user can can add one additional trade window for every 5 that are open. That's literally money in their pocket and our pocket.

Some additional info is that the Windows 10 titlebar is too tall and those minimize/maximize buttons are enormous, so we redesigned a new title bar that is not only slimmer, but allows us to make better use of it while still retaining the functionality. I am not going to declare that we are the masters of UX and everything we decide is absolutely correct, but we do really care about these issues because they make a measurable impact on our performance.

MyPillow CEO reveals new social site,'Vocl,' a cross between Twitter and YouTube
I’m assuming you use Android.

On iOS the scrollbar is only invisible when you aren’t scrolling.

Whether it’s visible or not, you can drag it with directly with your finger just like dragging desktop scrollbar. No need to induce any strain.

The same is true on the Mac.

This entire issue is only about the default at rest behavior.

Scrollsbars are visible during scrolling, and if you want them the whole time, that’s a setting.
Counterfeit or pirated goods accounted $522 Billion or 3.3% of all global trade last year according to the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

And Shoes are the most counterfeited product in the world. 2 I don’t have specific shoes figures, but here is an article about a $400 million fake shoe bust customs made 3.

Yes, counterfeiting is a major problem worthwhile of extra transaction costs.

In the art business, confirming the legitimacy of a painting is a $1b per year market.

FWIW, BLM wasn't just an American movement but has had sizeable protests across the world as well.
I own one of these. Although I am yet to see full blown video ads like the one the article mentions, I definitely see banner ads on the bottom left of the LG interface, every time I click on the home button to switch between TV apps.

I do have FireTV 4K stick and an Apple TV 4K on HDMI inputs but I still prefer the apps on the TV. They are much better in terms of picture quality, no idea why. Even the Apple TV+ app on the TV looks better than the app on Apple TV!
