Not banks. Hedge funds.
Anyone with a wide audience on the App Store already has the means of sending notifications to users via APNS…
I wonder if they built it without overrides to start with and then their lawyers got skittish and told them to put them in.

I can see all sorts of potential for awful behavior with this lock (child abuse, etc.) that company counsel would be afraid of.
I feel exactly the same and would wager that some of the ultra-negative comments here are either the result of extreme examples of bad work (every company will deliver bad work at times) or they have been personally affected by the consequences of hiring strategic consulting firms, so they are the enemy from this point forward.

I used to work for Big 3 as well, in technology consulting (way way way before switching to become an actual dev somewhere else), so our analyses were targeted more towards offering a client a perspective on his technological standing compared to the rest of the industry. It was at a time were _the majority_ of European companies exhibited extreme skepticism towards public cloud infrastructure, for example, and putting laws, economic numbers, competitors and all that into perspective for a client can certainly be very valuable to drive some change.

For Big 3 however, I had a feeling that consultancy offerings were always a way to get the foot in the door to win clients for the accounting teams - who were pretty toxic about being the only "real" Big 3 employees and everyone else is inferior.
As much emotional baggage fishing has for the UK, I believe there are much deeper cultural roots in Norway tied to fishing. I always remember a Norwegian ad, the 200 kr banknote displays a picture of a cod and Norges Bank made a really funny music video for its introduction [0].

The cultural roots in a much smaller population than the UK makes fishing not only a major industry but a big part of Norway's history and culture, I'm very sure the UK being an island has the same long history on fishing, I just don't feel it's so deeply rooted into the British national identity as it is in Norway.

I would put my money on lisp.

The structure of data and code is the same.

The result is that you start with configuration. But you all ways have a nice escape hatch
What I have always found odd, and a bit sad, living in the UK is that people do not really eat fish/seafood beyond fishfingers for children and the occasional fish and chips for adults.

Even just comparing the seafood stalls in supermarkets in England vs. France or Spain is striking.

I have noticed the same for most food stuff and I feel that the UK has a big potential that goes unexploited because people simply do not care much about their food.

GNOME was backed by RedHat and other American developers, which included the likes of IBM, Intel, etc.

The bulk of QT and KDE developers are European; the only major European distribution, SuSE, went with KDE - but apart from that, the project could never attract the same level of investment as GTK-based efforts. It’s kind of a microcosm of the US/EU imbalance in digital tech.

Add to it that C++ (Qt) was never as popular as C (Gtk) in academic circles, which are major contributors of fresh developers to opensource in general.
I do hope they adopt one solution or the other. Rust for me seems incomplete because of this.

Another issue I have with it is perfectly described in this article: https://theta.eu.org/2021/03/08/async-rust-2.html
It doesn't even allow to see prices without registration! Now, that a new level of being hostile to customers! I think I'd rather pass.
>> To "murder" is often used in the meaning of to "kill intentionally and with premeditation". Was that not clear from the context?

The context was that killing a non-human animal is murder. Murder is when a human kills another human. When a human kills a non-human animal it's just a "killing".
> In response, Apple said the EU’s case was the “opposite of fair competition,” according to a statement cited by Reuters.

So apple thinks that allowing any competition is the opposite of fair.
What do you think he did with the money in excess of the 60,000 he spent?

Maybe he was like Scrooge McDuck and had a giant vault full of gold coins that he'd take a dip in periodically?

My guess is that that's not the case. He probably had the money invested in some project.

The real question in my mind is this. How do you want to figure out where resources are going to be invested? We can do it democratically - everyone votes on what they want to spend money on.

Or we can have everyone invest their own money.

The later is tricky. People will only invest their own money if they think the investment will make still more money - and some of that return is going to be spent on things that have zero return i.e. a new Porsche in the driveway.

The former also has a few issues. What's stopping everyone from voting themselves a check? How much care is spent when you're spending other people's money?

> I think that mechanical keyboards are an interesting (if expensive) hobby

I'd love to own a mk, but I don't because I refuse to pay the huge markup just because "it's mechanical!". I'm typing this comment on a decades old Logitech K120 that's even missing some keycaps, that cost me, what, 10 bucks? But you're telling me I can't find a ultra basic key caps set for under $20 because...? "Hey, this Ducky is tacky but doesn't look that bad, how much is it?" $125? Go duck yourself.

The scene is completely nuts, there's no space left for people who just want to type on a mk, it's all about exclusivity, "the endgame", limited editions, artisan caps... Bullshit. There's no "mechanical K120". There's no room left for full sized, affordable, practical, run of the mill, "Ford Model T" mk. So thanks, and good riddance. I'll just buy another K120. I could pay $20, even $40, for "a good feel", but it's not worth $100.

Imagine the same scene on mice. "Hey, are you tired of your ball mouse? Want an optical mouse? Well, the technology is cheap, but we're going to charge you $120, just because!!"

I don't want a mk as a hobby, I want it as a tool. But it looks like we're incapable of conceptualizing a mk as a tool. Sorry for the rant, and pardon my French.
Huh? This is for webapps / PWAs, not native iOS apps.
I focus on one topic a day. I realized it helps me to retain knowledge better. As of tools, I suggest you to check out this list of websites for full-fledged-learning: https://custom-writing.org/blog/36-best-websites
There are tools sorted by study goals. For example, I use Droptasks to organize my tasks and files, and Braingle to train my brain.
Should add, the ruling is not really about the validity of the 30% fee.

What EU seems to argue is this:

1. Apple is in phone business, Spotify music. So far so good...

2. Then apple wants to get into the music business too. Now they have an unfair advantage since Spotify must pay 30% to apple while apple music "pays" 0%. So apple use their dominance in one area (phones) to get an advantage in a totally different area (music), which is a textbook violation.
The best tool I've found to improve my UIs as someone who's not generally good at this stuff is wireframing. I use diagrams.net because it's free and has a web version.

Once I stopped trying to implement and design my UIs at the same time they started getting much better. I force myself to go through multiple iterations over multiple days to let my understanding of the UI mature. First I make a shitty ugly one where I place the buttons and block-out the general look. Then I try to refine it, change the look, place the buttons in a more intuitive way. And I force myself to move things around and change the layout of the whole thing even when I'm satisfied with it.

I also inspire myself from other people's work, like those you can find on Dribbble.

Once you've got a nice wireframe down it's trivial to reproduce in any UI toolkit.

Here's an example of the evolution of a single screen of an app I worked on a while ago, it's incomparable to the work of a professional UI designer but it's much better than I used to be able to do. You can see how some buttons disappear and are replaced by others as I refine the UX and how the layout changes over time: https://imgur.com/a/WExdqs3
Maybe I’m too cynical, but how will Apple get out of this? What’s the trick they’ll use this time?

After all, this is only a “preliminary view.”

Sleep for Android (a popular sleep tracker/analyzer) allows you to "pay in" a small amount of money, like $5-15 per user choice via in-app purchases, that is lost as a donation to the developers if the set goal wasn't reached and refunded otherwise.

I thought that was a pretty clever way to go about it, I know people do a lot for $5!
For me it's more like this:

1. Skip your 1,2,3,4 and just get am inexpensive Cherry MX-Board

2. After several years, realize that I'm not really happy with keyboard because it boosts my bad posture. So I see if there is a split keyboard that suites my needs.

3. Damn, I need to test switches (luckily a friend has a nice selection of testers).

3. I think I might prefer tactile, but I don't want to blow the money on an expensive split keyboard to learn I don't like tactile - so better go with hot swappable switches.

4. Realize the exact board I would prefer doesn't exist.

5. Do some research on firmware, keyboard matrix circuit,...

6. Use the opportunity to learn kicad over eagle.

Started with 6. yesterday. Actually it's not that complicated, I'm more afraid of hand soldering 100 SK6812 Mini-E and 100 kailh sockets than of the rest.
If you've got thousands of repositories deploying services written in different languages to many different environments and multiple clusters within each environment then your CI files can get quite lengthy. Using Docker helps standardize things, but our shared pipeline repo is still 3.8k lines of YAML.
It's not clear to me from the article what remedy they're proposing. Seems like it could be any of:

* Drop the 30% fee

* Drop the 30% fee for apps the compete directly with Apple apps.

* Allow users to install other app stores.

>wouldn't have much incentive to grow my business more once my business makes more money than I can possibly spend in a lifetime.

The corporate bullcrap you had to go through is a direct consequence of someone growing their business beyond what they could spend in a lifetime.
The difference between EU and Apple is EU makes laws, and Apple makes guidelines. Here are my definitions:
Guidelines: Do not break these. If you break these, your business will be crushed, the app removed for the app store.
Law: Break them when they make financial sense. For large corporations, it makes sense to break relevant laws. e.g. GDPR.

In replying to zibzabs comment/ Unpopular opinion: Yes, they still did it because it makes financial sense. (see the definition of law above)

The core issue here is Apple favours their own product over competitors as they control their store. In this case, the product happens to be Music [0].

> The Commission is concerned that users of Apple devices pay significantly higher prices for their music subscription services or they are prevented from buying certain subscriptions directly in their apps.

This doesn't seem to be a general issue about the 30/15% charge. It's specific to products (in this case Apple Music) on the App Store where Apple has a competitor. This was bound to happen the moment Apple started launched their "services" strategy.

> Just think about it: one company is in practice entitled to 30% of what any other business makes (in any industry)!!

1. No, this is limited to the AppStore, those businesses can operate elsewhere.

2. What's the alternative? How is any business entitled to free or low-fee access to a platform that Apple built and maintain?
That's why I said they were completely unsuitable for mass testing. I said nothing about them being used where covid is suspected.

I mean. Anything this lock can do can be done with a regular lock too, so I don't see why any lawyers would get skittish about that.

Also, I seriously doubt that Chinese companies that produce cheap products like these ever consult with lawyers.
Well with Liveview you go "full server state" for everything that you would normally just use plain JS for. For instance, toggling a checkbox or collapsing a div.

Having latency on such lowlevel interactions might make the UI feel sluggish as a whole.

If you had to bet you'll never, ever put money on Google building airplanes to transport balls because we both know this is a completely ridiculous and nigh impossible scenario. You might as well ask candidates Santa Claus trivia. And even if you were right this question would still be useless because nobody in their right mind would let software engineers design airplanes.
It sounds like you are both the architect and the programmer or "analyst programmer" as it used to be called about 25 years ago in the UK. Someone writing masses of documentation upfront is obviously not agile. I'm working on a project as a technical architect on a programme, the main issue with this is that I don't have technical experience on the whole solution, only parts of it so I have to rely on others. Also anything enduring or shared is not easily covered by the agile/mvp style model.

Well, Apple has created a bunch of rules to address #1.

For example, you cannot sell the same goods outside the store with a 30% discount.
I agree with this principle but in this specific case it’s not true because Apple started their music business long before the iPhone and Spotify existed. In fact they started with the iPod and their music business with the iPod is what lead them to invent the iPhone and the AppStore. It’s rich from other music businesses like Spotify to want to benefit from all of the R&D and innovation cost from Apple and the market they created whilst dismissing that in fact they entered the music market with the goal to eat shares from Apple and not the other way around.
You're very badly misinformed.

How badly the UK did in the negotiations can be seen in the concessions won by the EU with the NI protocol. The actual trade deal covers goods where the UK has a large trade deficit and does not cover services at all.

Also the EU is starting to impose tariffs and checks on goods coming out of the UK, while the UK won't do the same for some time as their border control systems aren't ready and they're missing some 40 000 customs agents. So even as exporters are feeling the pain, the actual mangling of supply chains for british importers is still to come.

While the best case scenario for the EU would've been the UK staying in the customs union, with that option closed this is as good as it gets. There are no winners in Brexit, only relative losers.

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

I’m sure many businesses would be perfectly happy to have no access whatsoever to the platform Apple built and maintain (platform meaning the App Store in this context), but if they want to ship on iOS (which is where all the money is), they have no choice.
Half of UK fishing rights are owned by foreign companies, because English and Welsh fishing is run by companies with short-term outlook, and in the 90s cod quotas were all but eliminated due to overfishing, to allow stocks to recover. Scottish and Northern Irish fishing is family-owned and they did not sell away their quotas:

They cut the 30% tax down in some cases(I am still waiting for the fanboys to admit that this would never had happened if not for the large number of investigations running).

Next will probably give to EU guys a convoluted way to unlock you phone but will shame you for it, probably put a watermark on a screen that you are a communist or pedo if you use the unlock device feature.

Apple needs a Microsoft moment, a moment where they realize what are their strengths and focus on that and stop with the FUD and anticompetitive bullshit.
it takes a minute to get used to.

when i first got my MX Brown keyboard i was making typos all over the place. i wasn't used to how little i had to apply pressure to actuate a key. over time, i got used to it and i forgot i ever had that problem.

i remember when i see people who've never used Browns before sit down and struggle in the same way i first did.
I don't think they're proposing anything at this point but the obvious remedy would be to allow third party payment options.
starting first does not mean you are not abusing your monopoly.

Another way of looking at this is that a 30% margin is preventing a lot of businesses from happening until Apple do it.
The 30% is less of a concern that the fact that they can shut you down on a whim.
AliExpress helped me cut my addiction to buying random crap off them, by banning any account that used a VPN and putting you permanently behind a captcha trap even if you later turn the VPN off. I guess I should thank them but I do miss those 2am purchases of lighty uppy stuff I don’t need.

There is anothe use case for fancy keyboards: a keyboard made for specific application. I you spend most of your work time in ProTools / Resolve / InDesign / expensive CAD, then an extended keyboard makes a lot of sense.
A related example is the majority of cash registers: those apple/banana key grids? They are likely a programmable computer keyboard! Those are cheap and not “fancy”, though...

* Allow alternative payment options.

The rest will follow.

If supporting alt-monetized apps in AppStore will be too much for Apple, then they should allow AppStore alternatives or start charging hosting/processing fees.

If paying through AppStore will be more expensive than paying in some other way, then Apple should lower the fees.

Just needs some form of competitive pressure to get the ball rolling.
