> the simple truth of the matter is that regular kernel developers continue to insert bugs at such a rate that there should be little need for malicious actors to add more.

As an "average" dev I think the conclusion is totally unfair. Comparing a non intentional bug with intentional one(aka malware). I think Principle should matter and these people they violated the rules. And they should be morally shamed and legally sued. I certainly don't want to be mixed with them. Whatever people think of the quality of my code.

I understand that's a lot of work and just from a code quality prospective that's the same. But for the community of millions open source projects that's a terrible message to send.
But isn't that just what you were suggesting in the GP post in order to get rid of a layer of indirection?

> How is any business entitled to free or low-fee access to a platform that Apple built and maintain?

I see the argument all the time - I don't think it's really in good faith.

You could argue that it was in fact the app developers who built the platform. For the _average_ iPhone or Android user, how much time is spent in the default apps outside of core phone functionality (making calls, reading/sending sms)?

I would assume most people spend time in 3rd party applications like WhatsApp, Facebook, Spotify, etc.

The "killer app" of the iPhone isn't apple - it's the tens of thousands of 3rd party developers. If all 3rd party developers stopped developing for iOS then the iPhone would be a dead platform.

If you are just doing this for fun then have fun. If you want to commercialize it at all you most likely want it to communicate via MQTT not a scrape target. MQTT has much wider support for additional intergenerations.
For sure, but it seems like most law makers are easily distracted by some mirrors and a bit of smoke. I'm not sure the EU won't be, but that we've gotten this far provides some hope.
Great thanks I'll check it out
Most businesses must have mobile apps of some kind, and must support the two biggest options, iPhone and Android. So even if you don't own an iPhone, as a business owner there's a good chance you must make an iPhone app.

Also, the entire web has to maintain Safari compatibility because iOS devices can only browse via Safari's engine. Ironically, this is the only thing protecting us from a complete Chrome monopoly... so I'm kinda in favor of it, but it's a problem we need to address as well.

The "27 emotions" classification is the kind of thing that people come up when they want to do ML experiments forever and never face failure.

If the 27 emotions were uniformly distributed, you could do better than chance by guessing the right emotion 1 time in 20 (5% of the time!) but that would be completely useless from an engineering viewpoint.

If "Happy"/"Sad" were not good enough for you, try one of these

That was incidental to dhall. Dhall doesn't and was never intended to help clean up the mess made by having ansible code be Turing complete (for example).

I'm pretty sure the whole point of dhall is to DRY out configuration files and to hack on type guarantees to config files.

I played with it for a bit and those are the only two use cases I could find. Those two use cases usually come encumbered with several others which it does not help with at all, but a scripting language would.

A good, refactored-to-be-DRY config file that is typesafe completely obliviates any need for dhall and if you've got a Turing complete YAML monstrosity it's not going to help much.

It reminds me a bit of XSLT (except that was accidentally Turing complete of course).
HONESTLY, there are already a few good DAWs out there, FL Studio being my favorite, and after playing with this one, there doesn't seem to much here that isn't offered in other platforms . It was confusing when I first attempted to use the program, and I've been messing with DAWs for close to a decade now. I thought it would be a little easy to jump into and the ONLY REASON I am even using it, is because of its compatibility with the Raspberry Pi. Maybe I am not seeing the benefits of the programmer side, but as someone with a mostly musical background whos interested in programming, this was hard and didn't offer much that would make me turn away from other software. ALSO I'm BIG on UI when it comes to these programs. The UI has an outdated look and feel As much as I've been around the local music scene, most people using these programs aren't mixing and mastering rock music and stuff, these are younger people making rap and hip hop beats, sampling, slowing down the tempo (chopping and screwing), recording with what they got. This seems too technical for people that I'm around, and don't get me wrong, I'm around people who have put out quality music. I just honestly can't see any of my homies picking this app up while they are already trying to mimic professional artist with Reason, or FL. It reminds me of the audio recording software Cool Edit Pro, which is laughable because it came out in '03. Who exactly is this program for? I can't imagine Drake, Post Malone, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Mark Ronson, or even the underground scene using this. Is it mostly for people with programming backgrounds, or someone like me, desperate for a DAW on the raspberry pi?
You missed the boat on that one. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2007/jan/22/pollutio...
The App Store, iOS and Apple's hardware are all Apple's infrastructure.
Cisco is networking, and aws/azure are cloud services i don't think it's really the same as consulting.

The horror story of some consultancy is akin to going to a palm reader. Whereas the example you have is more like going to buy a family car and getting upsold to a Ferrari. There is nothing wrong with the Ferrari you just should have known you only needed the Mazda.

You still don't get what you wanted but one is selling you snake oil and the other is just good at sales.
You should try out vagrant, let’s you have a config file for your vm and you can choose different providers like libvirt, virtualbox, etc
I don't think the reason is really c++ vs c. But the regional aspect is spot on. Also when SuSE was bought by an American company (Novell), they fired all the KDE devs.

Another aspect is the licensing, GTK was licensed under LGPL way before Qt and RMS casting doubts on the legal aspect of KDE even after Qt was re-licensed under GPL didn't help.

All these played a role in the early 00s, nowadays the problems is mostly that GNOME has many more enterprise features and integration with other RedHat products and it is hard to catch on.
As someone that's forced to write C occasionally Rust is a godsend. I prefer high level languages but when I need the performance it's nice to have something that doesn't feel like it's from the 80's.

C is extremely painful. C++ is a shitshow. Rust is glorious in comparison.

Rust, or something like it, will definitely replace C/C++ someday. And rust has way more traction than anything else
The people who watched grandma die in the hospital through an iPad would beg to differ.
You're not wrong in the substance of your rant though, but unfortunately it does appear that the ship has sailed and we're stuck with jupyter.

Reaper is just Rock. Solid. It is very feature complete, and extremely flexible. It's fast, small, no-nonsense, and works well on every platform.

I've only tried Ardour a bit, but the first word I'd use to describe it is: Janky.

Been a Reaper user for 6+ years now, after many years on Cubase and a stint on Ableton Live. It's perfect.
I disagree. It’s not that Apple wants 30%, it’s that they get away with it.

For most companies, such a demand would be fine, legally (suicidal, but fine. Companies are free to make stupid decisions)
Where did you mention rustup? Perhaps you replied to the wrong message?

I'm addressing your statement that says a language is of general use if used by the likes of Google and Facebook.

They have infinite amounts of enginering and very special problems to solve. What makes sense for them often does not for smaller teams solving trivial problems.

> Strange how a language according to you is unsuitable for general use. Yet it is used by Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Dropbox, Microsoft, Mozilla, Huawei, etc.
"Copy what everyone else is doing" is... interesting business advice
The business owner won't exist if that person doesn't have the potential to make some money. There is a surprisingly large amount of possibilities between 0% and 100% inheritances tax rate.
So then if Apple Music internally pays 30% to App Store, we're all good by this definition.
You're looking at different abstraction levels. I'd make comparisons like: kvm:unshare, qemu-system:docker, kube:virsh.

If your want high level networking stuff, use virsh or virt-manager GUI. Or maybe proxmox if you want a whole distribution for it.

This is the end game. Jailbreaking should be a supported feature. What they'll actually do is most likely expanding features for side-loading with enterprise certificates, improving solutions like Alt Store.

Isn't figuring out people just something you can learn?

The problem I usually see with most people is, they think they already learned it.

Many people I met thought they had good knowledge of human nature, even the ones who were failing constantly in different parts of their life. Even the ones who where obviously hanging out with toxic people all the time.

Everyone thinks, even if they don't know much, at least they know that, but I think it's one of the hardest things to know and nobody really puts in real work to get good at it.
That’s not a feature of targeting, but of declining audience. There’s enough injured people watching TV in waiting rooms that structured settlement ads have a ROI.

The reality is that you could easily segment the tv audience in the 80s and 90s. There was a time when dudes would tune into Wheel of Fortune to gawk at Vanna White. CNN once attracted a high end audience.

Likewise, the ads on the Spider-Man Saturday cartoon, GI-Joe, Dr Quinn Medicine Woman, and Nightline were very different, and targeted by age.
You can make a platform because you want to sell it. You lock your platform because you don't want someone with a better browser or OS to compete with your lower quality products.

As soon as you mentioned Zelda II, I figured an overstatement about how either great or terrible it is was coming. "Fascinatingly weird" is probably the best description I've heard of this rough-around-the-edges game that I love :)

I still think the original Zelda is one of the best Zeldas. Yeah, it was the game that got me obsessed with video games as a kid (so heavy nostalgia factor there), but it's still pretty expansive as far as simple games go and the artwork is pleasing while leaving plenty of room to use your imagination.
But whether someone died of Covid or not is also another area of dispute. The "it's just a flu" crowd can cite dubious websites saying "Oh the government is fudging the stats, there were many deaths being recorded as Covid-deaths even if they're not (Stupid example: man flies off motorcycle into wall, dies. Autopsy shows he has the virus in his blood, the conspiracy theorists will say the Illuminati/Bill Gates/the government will record that as a death due to Covid).

Inversely, there's also reports of governments not testing people who died for the virus, to make their numbers look good so they don't end up in some "Do not travel" list, or because they don't want their population angry and removing them from power. Even India is still fudging its numbers lately.

At least it's hard to dispute the status of being dead, and "excess deaths" is a usable number.

Good question! Discrimination can pop up at many points throughout the on boarding process, so it is important that you check who your people are often and at multiple check points.

At the point of advertising, we check things like: demographics of who viewed the add (sometimes we have to run ADDITIONAL targeted adds to balance out an initial add placement), demographics of who "clicked" to our website, demographics of who applied

Before we had a big libraries called kdelibs and kdepimlibs and people would complain that they were too big and so nobody outside of KDE would use them.

Now we split everything, and people complain that they are too many libraries. There is no way to make everyone happy. Note that all this packages are very small and all provides features you really want to have.
In case anyone stumbles into this thread and is looking for the same specs that I was but with a mechanical, check out Keychron. My requirements were:

* Not outrageously expensive

I’ve been very happy with the one I bought.

I have no affiliation with Keychron.

Likewise FLStudio - thanks to its lifetime license model I have been using it as a paid license DAW for more than 15 years. It has a very active and collaborative user base especially for hip hop and indie game music.
So Apple is forcing its customers to bundle their phone with their billing platform.

Which should be illegal (as we democratically decided to have these laws), having no choice in services is not a feature it's an additional price to pay for the product and customers legally didn't agree to that simply by buying a commodity phone (no contract, no consideration whatsoever for this additional price).

> People should just leave if they don’t like the rules.
This is correct, Apple should just get out if they don't like the anti-trust rules of our market.

The assignments even include auto-graded testing scripts, so you can verify your solution to the assignments.

When they started have no bearing. It’s using their power in one market to strongarm others in another.
It’s not about what is fair, it’s about making sure the market is healthy.
In theory and superficially that makes sense, but they are the same company so it wouldn't make a difference in the end. It's not like Spotify can pay itself that 30%.
something is missing here, maybe quote the thing you replied to or be more clear.

Since is not clear, I might be off topic, Apple can not sell it's stuff in EU or can comply with the laws , it is fun when "our stuff, our rules, use something else if you don't like it" is applied to Apple.
I see if that’s the rule then I support it. I await the end of percentage fees and hope all >10% platforms open up.

By the way you have a link to that law ?
I used Slackware for 20 years. Finally gave up this year when I wanted to upgrade and no word on when 15.0 was coming out. Now I use a popular distro, so if I need something to work, somebody has already done it and I can just get it installed without development work. Definitely sucks compared to Slack, but I'm just too old to keep futzing around trying to make simple things work.

(That said, now my CPU fan is blowing basically all the time even if I change CPUfreq settings to minimum, which is very annoying. Also, modern desktop/windowing environments are trash, and everything runs slower on this machine now)
I am sure they are doing that already. And I don't think that's the law works.
The Indian government is opening up vaccinations for all adults starting tomorrow. About 80-90% of them will receive this vaccine over the course of the year. That's about 10-15k "rare" clotting cases within a population that has no access to western-style medical intervention.

> On one side is concern around deaths possibly linked to the vaccine, on the other is the potential of deaths from slowing the vaccination rollout. “Unless you’re on the inside you don’t realise how agonising it is,” he said.

At what point does the risk of dying from this vaccine-induced clot exceed that of dying from covid?
I agree completely that there should be no exceptions.
I had some QEMU VMs running for a while on a home server that were more or less started by command line. You can specify everything as command line parameters.

I wrote a script that pulled some info from a sourced-in bash "config file" for a given VM (such as amount of CPUs, RAM, and where the disks were), executed the appropriate ip commands to create the taps needed for network access (including a private inter-VM network), and then built/ran the long QEMU command with it in a screen session.

Which file is the ISO for the virtual CD ROM is just another QEMU command line parameter.

I had my own bind running in a VM and created a view on the same subnet as the private VM network. Since this was only a few VMs I didn't bother with DHCP, I just statically assigned IPv4s. I used VNC to setup the OS in them.
I was unaware of that case, interesting stuff.

Do you know if the mechanism in described by Stroustrup in 1989 for supporting multiple inheritance is actually used by modern C++ compilers?

https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/compsystems/1989/...

The plan seems so complex that it makes complete sense to me why languages would avoid multiple class inheritance (where each class is afforded direct access to member variables).

In contrast:

• With single inheritance, you don't have to resolve different member variable layouts because there is only one.

• With interface inheritance (with or without default methods), interface methods don't get to access struct members directly and know nothing about object memory layout.
That is some of the least bad stuff lost in the ocean.

> I don't think you can translate computing power like you do.

Yes, certainly human cell nucleus will not be a good general purpose computer and in this sense it's more similar to an ASIC. So, take it as a lower bound on computing power necessary to brute-force simulate the virus replication. I think it should be accurate this way. Classical computers will need at least n operations to physically copy n bits.

There are also arguments that biology is very close to the thermodynamic limits of computations [0] [1].

> Here we show that the computational efficiency of translation, defined as free energy expended per amino acid operation, outperforms the best supercomputers by several orders of magnitude, and is only about an order of magnitude worse than the Landauer bound.

And yes, nuclear bombs are extremely useless as computational devices, but also extremely dangerous. They share runaway aspect with viruses, but the good thing is that nuclear bombs self-destroy. Unfortunately programs like viruses reach equilibrium with the environment and are extremely successful at keeping on existing under natural selection. There are also good reasons to believe that viruses are in a local maximum. The global maximum would be spreading to the whole universe.

Overall, it does not matter if a computation is efficient as long as it has access to enough power and stars provide ridiculous amounts of power.
