This is so frustrating. So many people think the flu = the cold when in reality if they had the flu they wouldn't even be able to make it to work because they'd be in bed. That is if they're not in a hospital bed which statistically they probably are.
Can something like this be used to, say, build emulators for different game consoles? And do the popular emulators use this as a building block? Asking this as someone whose only experience with emulation and virtualization is running games on VisualBoyAdvance and running Ubuntu on VirtualBox
I confirm I can trigger the bug in iOS 14.5 on my iPhone 11. Interestingly, the first time I click on "From" or "To" I get a forced refresh.
Probably, but could overlap if you believe that they got ahead by cutting corners; I imagine that their practice of commingling inventory nets them a nice improvement in efficiency while making the counterfeiting issue worse.
It is an interesting problem. The Ivy League schools are in this position due to their reputation. It is perception that is therefore reality.

The proposal to make public colleges free for those making under $125,000 is on the surface good, but will likely only further entrench the Ivy Legague as elite.

The colleges really feeling the squeeze are not the ivys or the public schools, but the small private colleges. How will they compete when public colleges are free?

Ask HN: What are your experiences with Virtualised Development Environments?
Someone raised the topic at work recently. I'd always been a little against the idea, so had never considered the advantages. But for collaborative work, I suppose it could be very useful. It would also eliminate a whole class of bugs that only seem occur on your machine.

On the other hand, it could be extremely intrusive. Every keystroke can be monitored, and every new line is immediately subject to code review. You'd also relinquish all control over your choice of tools. Plus you're also at the mercy of the slightest networking issue.

So I wondered if the Hacker News readership have had much experience with the tech.

What tools did you use? Did it solve any problems that couldn't be solved with localised dev environments? Did it increase velocity? Did it scale well?

All answers welcome.

Thanks!
If you sign up for Spotify outside of the app then Apple sees 0 of that revenue. And yet they are then also hosting and distributing apps for these companies.

I think they’ll probably start charging companies like Spotify a banana amount of money to be on the App Store or on iOS at all if they lose these legal battles. I think the pull of the iPhone is far stronger than any app and there are many developers waiting for their chance to reach the iOS audience.
GMMK boards are surprisingly nice for the money...
the new 'elite' looks to have taken it up a notch too.

I originally got one, as it was hotswap and almost as cheap as a switch tester. But it compares well with say my Ducky.
You should not be allowed to build a platform and then compete unfair with apps for that platform.

According to[0] they're currently around 200 employees and the founding team includes former CEO of DICE (+ex-EA) & other experienced industry people.

They're funded in the large tens of millions range: https://www.pcgamesinsider.biz/news/69461/nexon-increases-st...

So, basically, they're a bunch of experienced game industry veterans funded with a bunch of money & a clean slate to choose their technologies--and have made Rust as one of their prime choices. (Although I note they're using Unreal for their 1st game, so not sure how much of the Unreal-related dev they'll be doing in Rust.)

> doing 3-4 different things (aside from games) to get by.

I’m curious - In the EU are businesses required by law to accept whatever form of payment the customer would like to use? Are vendors required?
Yep. They were planning on adding an ECC option to Helios64, but it's not available yet.

I think private companies should not exist and advertisement should be strictly illegal as a mass manipulation technique.

Creating a baseline .deb file takes at most 10 minutes if you know what you're doing. To know what you're doing, you need to spend ~2 hours once.

This is true, but it's more about support. iXSystems provides full testing and support on their hardware, which OP mentioned as a want. DIY is cheaper, especially since you have the option to buy used parts, but the premade systems are actually reasonably priced especially compared to some of the markups on Synology hardware.
It's a curious phrase. What does this mean in practice?
Its the highest paying job in the arena, if you're in it. It's a base instinct. Nothing to be proud of, nothing to exploit.

Interesting / sad that associated deaths increased not decreased with covid19 - not sure I necessarily agree with the conclusion for why, it's still an interesting statistic.
Is the App Store really an obstacle to apps getting on the iOS platform? Is it artificially raising prices? That's what matters from a consumer interests perspective, are they losing out or are they getting ripped off. If the answer is no, there's no case to answer. The reason for companies to exist and develop and sell products isn't to benefit their competitors.
I believe it is 30% for the initial subscription (or maybe first year?), and then 15% after that. If you are big enough, and probably aren't competing with a market Apple wants, you can negotiate to the 15% (maybe lower?) from the get go, e.g. Netflix.
Robot armies march on their data.

The running, value-producing software that lives in the data-center requires many kinds of resources, like people do. Electricity is the air of the robot armies. The network is something like having legs and eyes. Data is food because it has to be gathered, stored, and moved to the right place at the right time, and it is certainly the hardest thing for a process to get!
Often when people are aware they're being recorded, especially for some kind of production like a podcast that they're accustomed to hearing with edits, they'll make far more umms and ahhs than they would in an ordinary conversation. I think maybe its because they're concentrating on the continuity of their speech? Whatever the reason, I usually just try to get the number of these tics down to a level that sounds like casual conversation. I don't think most listeners notice when the tics are edited out, but a significant number seem to find them annoying enough that some judicious editing improves overall happiness with the production :)
Judge not lest ye be judged; I have come to understand this to say that the practice of judgement – the perception of people and the world through the lens of judgement, the production of judgemental thoughts – it can turn on a person so that we will then tend to assume that we are being judged. And that it matters.

Conversely, we can also produce the correct statement that we are witnessing twitter being used as a long form blogging format.

I can also produce a judgement of myself: Maybe I’m seeing your comment through the lens of misunderstanding. And maybe I am just yet another person who thinks this is a conversation and that around it a society may be witnessed.

Rather like the object presented which is presented along with the sequence of letters “lock”. It opens up and we see its inner nature: Not a lock.
Exactly, I like the fact that if Facebook want to be on my phone they have to meet Apple's security and privacy standards. That directly benefits me, and it's one of the reasons I buy iPhones. Forcing Apple to change their product to allow side loading and alternative stores takes that away from me.
As far as I'm aware, the only modern compiler that supports Z-machine output is Inform 6. Maybe Inform 7 does as well, but that segment of the IF community has basically moved on to the Glulx virtual machine, which Andrew Plotkin created as a 32-bit spiritual successor to the Z-machine.
Inheritance is static composition. Everything we do statically is for two reasons:

1. Static invariants (not subject to runtime-defined conditions).

2. Performance (AOT compilers know more about the system and can elide more code and devirtualize more calls, etc.).

I think the characterization of performance features as a "hack" is misleading. The article builds a bit of strawman, being dismissive of a performance feature for the fact it was for performance, then does a 180 in the Conclusion section saying "it's not bad" to look for performance.

Did we forget inheritance vs. composition is also for performance? Honestly I've not seen such a strong characterization of inheritance as being purely semantic. If anything, today we see inheritance as the thing a junior dev reaches for first, in order to share code, because they don't know better.

Sure, there's the "Cat extends Animal" shtick that refuses to die. But everyone refers to this kind of talk of inheritance ironically these days.

+1 for Keychron (also not affiliated), the C2 in my case since I don't need wireless. It's hard to find pre-built mechanical keyboards with Mac layouts. I previously had a WASD but made the mistake of going with clear switches that hurt my hand after extended typing sessions. That's not WASD's fault—it's otherwise a good keyboard—but there's no way to change the switches on that one. The Keychron can even be hot-swappable, and it was less than half the price of the WASD for comparable build quality.
I'm guessing it's a typo ... and was supposed to be roku and Google.

> You would perform manual static context-sensitive text expansion, just like the C++ template expander does.

Sure, if you move all your code into your new language that transpiles to C, but that was my point, the lack of language integration means there's plenty it can't do that C++ templates can do.

An example from [0]:

std::is_same_v<int, std::int64_t>

In C, I don't know that there's any way to determine whether int and int64_t are the same type.

With that accounting methodology, between the 30% apple store cut and the 70% music publishers cut, Apple music is left with no revenue whatsoever to fund their service, therefore running it at a 100% loss and thus price dumping which is also illegal.
I used to use Mac keyboards because I wanted to minimize the difference in typing feel between using the laptop keyboard and using the external keyboard. I thought I was used to that and would never want to use a mechanical keyboard, because I thought I valued very small "travel" in the keys. I quickly found that I actually really liked both the tactile feel and somewhat low audible click of the Cherry Browns.

So I sort of moved from thinking I liked laptop keyboards, and hated mechanical ones, to appreciating the qualities of a good mechanical keyboard.

I used a mechanical keyboard (mk for short here on out) for a while after being loaned one by a Mechanical Keyboard Zealot coworker. (he was actually super laid back, and would just lend out keyboards to people :) )

After that I bought a Corsair keyboard because I wanted to get a mk as easily as possible and didn't want to try to decode the mk subreddit. Then that started to "break" (just needed cleaning, whoops, I gave it to my nephew to go with his parents' xmas present of a gaming PC) and I got myself a Ducky mk.

I also tried the ErgoDox but was getting frustrated with it during a crunch time at work, and put it aside for the ducky. One day I want to try the split keyboard again.
It's crazy to me how nobody seems to have copied the lucrative app store model. Why isn't there a service that reviews websites and programs to give them a "trust" rating?

Microsoft is an applicable precedent here - when it was found that they had breached competition law in using bundling with Windows as a way to gain unfair market dominance for Internet Explorer, the remedy was to require that Microsoft offer users a means to select and download competing browsers on first use. The Commission can then fine them a significant amount if they fail to comply with the decision.

Of the options you've suggested, the second seems most likely.

One potential solution that may also work is instead of not taking the 30% fee, to allow Spotify and others to take payment through another channel (e.g. by bouncing users to a web-based payment gateway) - the enforcement there just becomes an injunction to not enforce the app review rules that prevent affected apps from using third-party payment providers in addition to or as an alternative to payment through the App Store.

The difficulty will be where they draw the line. A lot of third party services compete with built-in apps/OS features: for instance, Dropbox/iCloud Storage, Notes/Evernote, Office 365/Google Docs/iWork. The difference between Apple Music and Spotify (and presumably also Tidal and Deezer etc.) is really clear, but quite where you divide up these markets is a real tough issue in EU competition law. An Apple Music user could very easily be a Spotify user and vice versa, but not every iCloud user would necessarily be a Dropbox user.
If you're making determinations on whether to show an ad to someone based on their age, you're literally discriminating based on age. Like, that's the definition of the word. You're treating different categories of things (i.e. people) differently based on a characteristic (i.e. age). Not only are you discriminating, you're discriminating against a protected class.

Now to handle your absurd question about sending credit card ads to children: Facebook policies already cover this. From Facebook's advertising policies:

Facebook prohibits advertisers from using our ads products to discriminate against people. This means that advertisers may not (1) use our audience selection tools to (a) wrongfully target specific groups of people for advertising (see Advertising Policy 7.1 on Targeting), or (b) wrongfully exclude specific groups of people from seeing their ads; or (2) include discriminatory content in their ads. Advertisers are also required to comply with applicable laws that prohibit discrimination (see Advertising Policy 4.2 on Illegal Products or Services). These include laws that prohibit discriminating against groups of people in connection with, for example, offers of housing, employment, and credit.

---

Obviously not sending ads to 12 years wouldn't be wrongful discrimination, since minors can't enter into legally binding contracts. But to be clear, not sending ads to 12 years is discrimination. It's just not considered wrongful.
Why do people compare luxury phone products to utilities lol. Do people honestly believe access to electricity and to iPhones are in any way comparable?
That's the same as "The cocaine was in my left pocket your honor. See I have nothing in my right pocket :)"
That’s good for internal bookkeeping but it’s not enough to prevent the unfair advantage.

Take this example: Apple Music “pays” 30% to parent Apple Corp. That 30% payment cuts into Music’s revenue and now they’re operating at a 25% loss.

However, that rough calculation still allows parent Apple Corp to consider Music to be profitable, since it’s a net profit for Apple Corp. It’s happy to take the 25% “loss” in the music division because it’s just a paper loss. In cash terms, the Music division increases Apple Corps profit.

The only real way for this division to be fair is to spin Apple Music off into its own company that is not owned by Apple Corp.

Dude you can buy same game Cyberpunk on at least 3 different stores, what is wrong in the fact you have a choice?

Sure you have some bad examples with some of EA games or other exclusives but only a retard would say "I wish only Steam existed because I love Valve screwing me so everyone should learn to love it")

I don't blame Epic or EA either, why should they pay Valve a 30% tax when they can build a store and not throw money away. But I am against exclusives, EA or Epic should put their shit in all stores but on their own stores they could make things cheaper or offer other benefits.
Yea definitely. Though I imagine quite nice if you’re staying at the hotel!
Let us remember that big tech companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook generally have 49.9% of their employees contractors.

Why nearly 50%? Because that the highest amount you can have without additional liability. If they could get away with it, far more than 50% would be contractors.

The gig loophole benefits only super rich corporations. It's crazy to see so many people defending it. The sole purpose is undermining a century of worker protections.

Technology has made it easy to tweak jobs just enough so they fall under contractor status. When these laws were written nobody could imagine systems where work is reassigned in seconds. The rules about flexible schedules etc we made for a different time.

I've driven for rideshare. It's not like freelancing at all. You can't turn down rides. Can't set your prices. Can't choose your clients. Can't do your own advertising. You can only drive certain models and years of cars. There's rules about modifications you can do and how you treat customers. You have little to no control once you "sign on".

Possibly many LiveView tech demos / projects by the community haven't had much thought into latency, but LiveView itself even contains a latency simulator[0] built-in. Additionally, it can toggle classes on elements when you click them and turn them off again when an acknowledgment has been received from the backend [1]. Finally you have the JS hooks, through which you can just implement any kind of loading indication you want on the frontend. So the tools are there, they just need to be used.

every time you say "just use JS" you're diminishing the usecase of liveview because if i need so much js logic - why do i need to also use liveview if i can just use a framework/environment where i can share codebase between client and server seamlessly and have full control.

>the new 'elite' looks to have taken it up a notch too.

I got their new "Pro" as a secondary keyboard. Its really nice, however, unlike most of the reviewers I didn't like the polycarbonate plate. I put the stock aluminum one back into it because the polycarbonate one flexes so much the contacts on the switches won't stay in the sockets. Still once that issue was resolved its a great keyboard with a ton of cool features at a pretty affordable price (relatively).

>I originally got one, as it was hotswap and almost as cheap as a switch tester. But it compares well with say my Ducky.

My original standard GMMK ended up being a better keyboard than my first custom kit I spend over $300 on. For some reason my linear switches felt smoother on it, I had less issues, and the build quality was solid enough.
Wow this is atrocious.

All of the fairly meager advice in this is either bad or totally unactionable.

The references to outmoded concepts from pop-psych and generic aphorisms also really aren't convincing me that this person has any idea what they're talking about.
It's often how law works. For example companies often create subsidiaries in order to limit liability of the parent company.
You can, though.

It probably already happened.

In the defensive world, success is abstract, failure is concrete and there are always going to be bugs, accidents, lapses, etc. in the offensive world, you demonstrate success by providing actual intel, you can demonstrate value. I’ve worked on security products for most of my career, there is a point in the lifecycle before your product is just a requirement where customers will ask “how do I know I need this? Or it’s working?” It can be more challenging to answer that than if your product failed and they got popped, at least you can help and provide information if they got popped.

I know who I think would climb the ranks. Long term strategy wise, if they split it up and aggressively worked with industry to patch holes and fix things, encouraging best practices, it would probably save the nation trillions but we would have to use other techniques to get some of our intel.
>> Because they're all trying to build platforms, probably

Or not building products which collide with platforms.

As a general rule, if you have to use offensive lawsuits you are not smart enough to do it cleanly.
