That's a tricky one, but it's solvable, if you're willing to give up the idea of having new and different styles regularly. Find a style & brand you like, figure out what size you wear and just buy that. You might have to send something back until you nail it.

For people with odd size requirements like me (I'm short), shopping online usually means you can find a better fit, because stores tend not to carry much outsize the most common sizes. Shoes are a great example: A size 7.5 (US) is about the biggest I can wear, sometimes a size 8 if they run small. The "standard" mens size is 9, and you can find lots of styles in size 9 to 11, but rarely anything smaller than 8. Guess what? that shoe is made in 7, but stores don't carry it.

Sometimes the maker will discontinue a line though, which means a switch. Shoemakers are notorious for this.
The author's colleague had a blog post on the topic, reasoning that missing either the best or worst was not a particularly interesting "what-if" since the best and worst days are both associated with the same bouts of higher volatility. He used the 200 day moving average to try and model the effect of 'missing' both.
It honestly didn't turn out so bad, but one takeaway is that backtesting (aside from not being a necessarily great projection) does not model personalities.

Cool! So.. as much as I love the Yayagram, I think people underestimate the elderly and willingness to learn something that "makes sense" and technology that does not work against them.

To give an example, my 103 year old grandmother didn't know a thing about computers until we gave her an iPad about 6 years ago. Now she's available on FaceTime and e-mails. For some reason she doesn't find messaging interesting. She has a variety of hobbies (like knitting, reading and TV) but she checks the news both in paper format and on the iPad.

I am actually so thankful that iOS is relatively easy to understand and that Apple spent those millions on UX, because it could easily have gone the other way with technology working against her.
> Now "right to repair" includes not only designing devices to be easier to repair but also includes legacy software support?

This is really the same thing, i.e. comprehensive hardware documentation. If the hardware is well-documented then third parties can use the documentation to create hardware drivers and continue to support e.g. Android/Linux on that hardware even after the OEM stops providing supported software.

This is true even of iPhones; there is no technical reason you shouldn't be able to port Android or any other OS to iPhone hardware given adequate hardware documentation. People are attempting to port Linux to M1 Macbooks even without adequate hardware documentation, though of course the lack of documentation is a severe impediment and the efforts consequently have yet to produce a usable port.
It is rather specific. How many tennis players have such explicit ticks?
Are they also going to force "the right to sell" instead of rent? Nothing is stopping companies from renting instead of selling their products. We already see that with software, no one is trying to sell software these days, it's all subscriptions. It could happen with hardware, in which case you don't have the right to repair since it never belonged to you.
I agree. Beyond the economic changes that have occurred, I think the social change is going to be even more dramatic. Everyone I know in my social circle has started new things, gone back to school, picked up old hobbies they neglected, or changed jobs. I don't think we are appreciating how radical a change it was for so many people to have months of free time where they had relative financial stability. You start to have time to really think about what you want.

Going forward I think people are just not going to put up with bullshit the way they did before.

How much is it normally? Definitely not 0%. Also, what's "government payments"? Does it include wages to government employees, for instance?

(I expect the figure is higher than normal, I'm just not sure from this how much higher)
Your company isn't the only one in the world though, and the sad reality is that many, many (I'd say in the US - most) companies use leetcode interviews.

There’s no way you are paying for 5 years of software development and your hardware for $1300. Suppose half the cost of iPhone was to build the physical object (likely low, given Apple’s 35% overall gross margins), you’re effectively saying that iOS is worth $10/mo, which is a gross underestimate. It is at least as complex a piece of software as Creative Cloud which costs $30/mo. As another benchmark, premium Android phones cost about as much as iPhone, but all the development costs of Android are primarily borne by a different vendor than the device maker.

Developing a model for your voice assistant that can route requests to the right handler is non-trivial. I think in a forum of software developers, I shouldn’t have to argue that there are many good faith reasons for this.
How about forcing disclosure only for products that are no longer supported by the manufacturer? Not ideal from a repair standpoint, but removes (imo) the argument about the first and second order effects.
The former. Everybody knows top quality engineers are very hard to find, but there is also an inverse problem - the amount of programmers who know nothing but React.js or other <buzzword> is shockingly high.

This is a strange take considering Facebook is distributed for free in the App Store with the current model. Apps paying the 30% tax _already_ subsidize Facebook’s distribution.
That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm responding to someone who said that we as a society have accepted % of revenue based charging BECAUSE Visa et al. have models like that. I'm pointing it out that they have % of revenue models because their costs are directly tied to revenue. I'm not even going to get into cash back and points and international transactions which are one-to-one relationships with how much is being charged, but do you really think the banks pay for the privilege of being part of Visa? No, Visa has costs at least somewhat proportional to the volume going through that bank.
Yes, productivity increased in the short term. However, this was due to heroic efforts on the part of the teams. I know I worked crazy-ass hours last year. This was needed to cover for the rest of the team who were on 50% hours (or less if partner wasn't WFH) due to childcare requirements.

Additionally, it emptied the pipeline. We implemented a lot of work that was queued up, but we are now stalling on product design and engineering design approvals where coordination and communication is key.

The increase in productivity is achievable on the short term, but not long-term. My productivity this year has fallen off a cliff.
I'm surprised that the article Kottke links to didn't quote/acknowledge FDR. Maybe the author just came up with

>We should ask ourselves, our communities, and our government: if a business can’t pay a living wage, should it be a business?

independently, but it sounds a lot like FDR's [0]:

>It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country. By "business" I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers, the white collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level-I mean the wages of decent living.

They do, but they're rare. I had my eye on a group buy for a left numpad mechanical keyboard, but it was like $300 minimum and it didn't even include switches or keycaps.

A right-handed friend of mine straight up switched mousing hands after I suggested it as a joke. I think he still mouses with his left hand to this day. I tried for a little while, but it was like learning to walk all over again and I couldn't get used to it.

> Apple devices are becoming increasingly unusable for developers.

Nothing laughable about that. It's absolutely 100% true. That's why only 25% of developers are on a Mac. Outside of the Silicon Valley bubble that number goes way down.

> Fantastic opportunity for Linux apps to gain more dev resources, as anyone with a bit of foresight sees little future in macOS, iOS, Windows, or Android as development platforms.

Linux apps have steadily been gaining more dev resources. That's why we have big companies like Microsoft bending over backwards to make things like VS Code run on Linux or in Linux container tech.

> Developers do not dictate the success of a platform. Users do. And they don’t want Linux on the desktop.

Linux is on more systems than any other OS. Was that because of Users? Nope.

If Macs and iPhones disappeared tomorrow, the world would largely continue on without much hassle. If Linux or Windows disappeared, we'd have a worldwide catastrophe on our hands. Users never chose Windows either. Developers and the businesses that they worked for did.

The number of normies using Linux on the desktop isn't a good metric. There are as many devs on Linux as there are on a Mac. Of those, I'd say more than half are not even targetting iOS but rather the web. So, Apple is always just a few bad moves away from losing those web devs to a Linux desktop.
The author is doing a lot of work to explain that the statistical average takes a long time to converge to the expected return because the distribution is volatile (high stdv, skewness, kurtosis, etc).

Do note however that his analysis only concerns itself with the US. Including other countries would show that US is one of the few countries where stock markets were never interupted for a long period of time because of its political stability. If you dont beliveve it will keep going this way in the future, invest in other countries.

You're guessing wrong. Sonos is not beloved. I've heard all about the S1/S2 nightmare and I don't have a solution to it.

I detested Sonos for that and tried to avoid them because of it, but no one has stepped up. Other multiroom audio solutions have sucked in my experience, so far. Maybe Bluesound stepped up, but that's it.

And, kind of agreeing with you, I do stick with real speakers from real audio companies ... I just get the amps and multiroom app from Sonos.

And, back on point, to not be able to do a simple cast of youtube to Sonos and, I'm guessing, potentially Roku, is just silly and I jetison Youtube because of it, not Roku or Sonos. Doesn't matter who is right or wrong, that's the impact.
Interesting, thanks for sharing. Not sure why folks downvoted the comment, it being a plea for more information.

Been using the dev models for almost ten years, none of those are a problem. Ubuntu Mate is a good choice for a stable gui.
Old comment of mine:

Generally there is said to be 3 parts to 5G.
The first is eMBB: Enhanced Mobile Broadband. In other words faster mobile internet. This is where most operators start.

The second is URLLC: Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications. This is mainly aimed at using 5G for things like self-driving cars. But also things like long distance remote control. This is where people see potential for innovation without being clear what the exact innovation will be.

The third is mMTC: Massive Machine Type Communications. This is meant for IOT but also for factory control. The IOT thing is mostly allowing extra low battery useage, low speed, cheap connnectivity. The factory control thing is about getting the advantages of 5G (and e.g. URLLC) and allowing a factory to quickly set up their own private 5G network.

This is on the consumer facing side. On the operator facing side, infrastructure is moving more towards virtualization and decoupling. Trying to make it easier to use multiple vendors, and stop requiring custom made hardware. And in general, moving towards commodity hardware and something closer to 'infrastructure as code'.

This also helps roaming and virtual operators (for e.g. the factory control). It also helps a bit with the ultra low latency part by decentralizing the routing part and moving it closer to the devices.

So "what is 5G gonna do for me" is mostly the 'faster internet'. But the idea is that it will enable widespread innovation that you can later use. With some luck (governments are thinking) being ahead in deploying 5G might also help boost your economy by boosting innovation.
The problem is that Web Push requires active JavaScript execution to handle pushes and show the actual resulting notification (if any). (Notifications are the most common but not the only use case of web push.)

This isn't (reliably) possible using iOS APIs.
I don’t necessarily think that’s the case.

I haven’t ever subscribed to Spotify because I don’t see any _value_ in Spotify as opposed to what I get from Apple Music. I’m smart enough to know how to subscribe to Spotify from the web.

(There are other services like Pandora I would have paid for, in or out of the App Store, had they been available in my jurisdiction. Spotify just never interested me.)

I know that makes me an outlier, but it seems to me that Spotify has a much heftier case to make that they’re _missing_ customers because of Apple’s payment rules.

I personally don’t want alternative app stores; they will reduce the security and trustworthiness of the iOS platform. I do think that Apple should be reviewing its app / in-app purchase pricing, and I do think that there is a market access concern problem. I don’t have any good answers for it, because I _do_ think that some of the actions criticized have been net positives.
Did you add in the dividends?

Implementation inheritance is absolutely no problem within a project or component that entirely controls both base and derived classes, where it amounts to, simply, a notational convenience. It is not, then, a "good OO design"; but there is nothing sacred about OO. Ultimately, any combination of well-specified mechanisms may be correctly used to achieve an elegant design, regardless of formal architectural conventions. The reason a feature was introduced into a language has no necessary connection to reasons for using it.

Implementation inheritance is a problem when crossing organizational boundaries, as reasonable changes upstream can impact correctness downstream.

Ultimately, there is no substitute for taste. Substituting fetishism produces unfortunate results.
Ethereum will effectively do share buybacks starting in July. They're switching to a system that burns the majority of transaction fees. If share buybacks are equivalent to dividends, then arguably this is equivalent to paying dividends to ETH holders, funded by the fee revenue paid by users.
That’s usually because these people don’t have the slightest clue how industrial mass-production for consumer goods work.

They constantly think it’s always about the customer, it isn’t. The products are almost always optimized for costs, nothing else.

If a manufacturer uses glue instead screws, they don’t do that to make it harder to repair. They prefer glue because it’s cheaper. The same applies for cheap components over high quality ones.

Want to increase the possibility of getting a durable and repairable product? Well, prepare to spend ten times as much.
I think this is confusing, but the Apple TV app is different than the streaming service Apple TV+. The app is meant to be a centralized location for access to all TVs and movies across all services. It also keeps track of your progress on watching things and tells you when new episodes release.
If you read again, the claim is that after a failed Windows 10 update that device ran another 7 years on Ubuntu. As Windows 10 was launched less than 7 years ago, that is a lie.

This is true! The Federal Reserve, since the Carter administration, has acted like even the slightest bit of inflation is impending doom.
Why moving away from AirTable? Pricing or feature set?
Maybe I'm naive, but this seems to have some significant problems:

1. Yes, everything costs 2x more for professional-class people, but also for working-class people. The numbers might get bigger, but the impact for those in the position to consider these terrible jobs is net nil.

2. For anything that doesn't require physical presence, the more you raise minimum domestic labor cost, the more attractive foreign labor looks, so you're also driving outsourcing.
What's worse, Apple will insist that the "open web" is the alternative the app store on iOS. Apple controls the portal to that open web too! And either through intention or incompetence, its a non-starter for developers! Even alternate browsers on iOS are forced to use the Safari/WebKit engine; its not even close to "open".

Such signs are somewhat misleading. it does not mean the restaurant is in urgent need of work. it is more like, we have a position open, please apply. You may be hired, but likely not, as many other people applied for it, and we need someone who can meet our stringent requirements. They may not even have a position open and instead are looking for an ideal employee who meets these criteria, which means someone else may be fired.
I'm sure a lot of this is out there, especially for young keyboard users. I'm middle age and I learned in grad school that a good mechanical keyboard could save my fingers. I personally went from finger pain to no finger pain, and have been good since. YMMV of course
Subtyping with inheritance is kinda complicated from a theoretical perspective, so the trade-off in java-like languages seems to usually be to neuter the type system, by restricting type-inference and rely on nominal types specified by the programmer.

After spending way to much time in Java, and OOP-style php and python, I just struggle to see the advantage of inheritance. It usually takes a long time to look through the object hierarchy to figure out where the behavior is really coming from.. and the loss of type inference outside of localized expression statements is devastating in comparison.
As far as I know, Safari on macOS does not support Web Push, but rather a proprietary predecessor of it.
They will move to Oregon so that they can pay 9.9% instead?
The administration around code signing and notarization for both Apple and Windows was huge (1.5 developer months from start to kinks-worked-out for an electron app). Startup lessons learned: don't build desktop apps.
For macOS (which is what we're talking about in a topic about notarization), you can sell your software any way you want outside of the App Store, without the 30% cut. There's still a $100/year developer account fee to be able to notarize new builds of your app.

This is not iOS where the App Store is the only way to install an app.

This comment is not an endorsement of any aspect of Apple's business model, I'm just correcting a factual error in your comment.
It looks like Oregon has a 9.9% capital gains tax, so moving to Portland would add to the tax bill of founders relocating before selling their company instead of reducing it.
Burnout is very real. The part about long-term depletions of brain glucose and dopamine is not real, though. Eating a meal is sufficient to replenish brain glucose, and the rate of dopamine turnover in your brain is measured in tens of minutes.

Burnout isn't a simple depletion of chemicals in the brain that need to be restored. It's the effect of long-term sustained stress without recovery intervals.

Can you elaborate on this? $7.25 * 8 hours = $58. It's hard to imagine expenses adding up anywhere close to $58/day, especially if you factor in that in high cost of living areas the minimum wage is also higher than $7.25.
