Same for music work - I can find anything from Garageband and Logic remote, to Cubasis, FL, Audio Units by top brands, controllers, sequencers, and so on.

It's telling if you compare what music software is available in the app store vs on the open market. On the open market where devs can charge higher prices and charge for upgrades there is an enormous range of options from cheap, simple tools to professional tools with incredible depth and range. Most of what's available on the app store is a joke in comparison and several of the top virtual instrument devs have said they won't touch the app store because of the restrictions and the race to the bottom on pricing.
it doesn't matter, they could just push an android update that bypasses your signature if they really wanted to. granted that's a bigger deal, but they control the ecosystem in google play and hold the signing keys for android and google play itself, you already trust them.

Sigh. The lottery is a tax on stupidity.
It is the biggest, but only until eurozone unravels.

I took that to mean that the manner of swiping required is awkward. If you are only used to credit card swiping its a very different feel- slightly slower and different friction. When I first moved it took me several swipes to the frustration of many experienced NYers behind me.
It's only N=1 anecdata but since going to a VLC/Keto diet I've felt cognitively sharper (in addition to other benefits like losing weight, needing less sleep, etc).

In response to a now deleted comment about if they constitute monopolies:

Hm, I'm sympathetic to where people are coming from. Treating Apple Apps as a distinct market from Android Apps doesn't feel technically true, but I think it's more then true enough.

More generally I think people have a sense of what fair play is and how large companies shouldn't be as free to throw their weight around, laws be dammed. And that whole feeling gets lumped under monopoly.
1. So why did you mention laptops? Seems like a false comparison.

2. What 11 year old GNU/Linux phone is supported today let alone ‘forever’?
Not much and at the same time everything. The 'short' answer is there's a lot of things forbidden on the Sabbath/Shabbat under Judaism, those are all forbidden; making fire (interpreted now to include operating basically any electronic switch), cooking (heating water included so no hot water UNLESS it's water already heated in the tank [0]). You can however reheat food it seems [1] provided the oven/warming tray runs continuously so you're not creating new fire/increasing existing fire/god knows what else.

The accumulation of interpretation and rulings on various situations under the law means there's a thousand edge cases that have probably been brought up over the centuries and some ruling made. It all feels a bit like trying to rules lawyer god which is amusing to me as a TTRPG player but sounds exhausting if it were my real life.

[0] Though you also have to shut off the inlet water to the tank because the new water entering and being heated by the existing heated water (which you can use) counts as a violation. Source: https://www.star-k.org/articles/kashrus-kurrents/579/getting...

Interesting book on this topic:

>In The Gap, psychologist Thomas Suddendorf provides a definitive account of the mental qualities that separate humans from other animals, as well as how these differences arose. Drawing on two decades of research on apes, children, and human evolution, he surveys the abilities most often cited as uniquely human -- language, intelligence, morality, culture, theory of mind, and mental time travel -- and finds that two traits account for most of the ways in which our minds appear so distinct: Namely, our open-ended ability to imagine and reflect on scenarios, and our insatiable drive to link our minds together. These two traits explain how our species was able to amplify qualities that we inherited in parallel with our animal counterparts; transforming animal communication into language, memory into mental time travel, sociality into mind reading, problem solving into abstract reasoning, traditions into culture, and empathy into morality.

>Suddendorf concludes with the provocative suggestion that our unrivalled status may be our own creation -- and that the gap is growing wider not so much because we are becoming smarter but because we are killing off our closest intelligent animal relatives.

I'd actually propose to raise requirements so high that parachuted systems can't comply. I believe winged designs have inherent advantages in terms of safety.

You see, the failure modes are different with winged designs and active propulsion landing designs. Winged designs, in the extreme, can safely land with zero control after being pushed from orbit - in case of low Earth orbit, just decrease speed by about 200 m/s and that's it. Aerodynamic of the spacecraft can be designed so that the spacecraft will passively stabilize while going through atmosphere, and the terminal velocity could be low enough that even wheels deployment failure won't be lethal. That's not to mention designs where the parachute is opened on orbit, allows going slower through atmosphere and landing - vertically - with low speed (some information is here - https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna6714639 ).

At the same time deploying parachutes is very much an active operation - failure of which costed Vladimir Komarov his life. Engine-supported landing was once considered in 1980s in USSR and declined on the grounds of safety; in comparison, Buran flew fully automatically on the first attempt. Today's systems are unquestionably better, but with engine failure there is little time or possibilities - unless something unusual would be invented - to compensate.

Comparing Dream Chaser and Crew Dragon, I'd definitely consider the first one as inherently safer design for landing.
Can you elaborate on the dark patterns? I am not familiar with those kind of issues and am sure there is something positive for them, if not for the users. Or may be some product manager made a wrong decision and instead of correcting and accepting their mistake doubled down on it.

For payment apps you could tie this into the existing regulatory framework for money transfer services and banks.
Got has submodules which solves this but for some reason people decided to stop using them a while back.
Quantity != Quality, though.
Also IQueryable, and also the choice of ASTs vs closures, and also lazily evaluated, which means a different plan with a different strategy may intercede
I have maintained some mini projects which try to have strong API stability.

And even through keeping API stability is much easier then ABI stability I already ran into gotchas.

And that was simple stuff compared to what some of the more complex libraries do.

So I don't think ABI FFI stability ever had a good chance (outside of some very well maintained big system libraries where a lot of work is put into making it work).

I think the failure was to not realize it earlier and instead move to a more "message passing" + "error kernel" based approach for libraries where this is possible (which are surprisingly many) and use API stability only for the rest (except system libraries).

EDIT: Like use pipes to interconnect libraries and use well defined (but potential binary) message passing between them. Being able to reload libraries resetting all global state, or run multiple versions of them at the same time etc. But without question this isn't nice for small utility libraries or language frameworks and similar.
If the main things is meetings, I wonder if you couldn't just kit up a cargo van with an office and work in the parking lot.
It isn't just a "fear": Google has said that new apps submitted after August must use this feature.
if unvaccinated people get infected, they are more likely than vaccinated people to have the virus replicate at an accelerating rate before they show any symptoms. This large surge in replication means they will be spreading it and this may pose a danger to me. The vaccines are not %100 effective and I have several factors that would make it dangerous for me to get sick. I won't knowingly hang out with potential spreaders.
Carnegie and Rockefeller might be more apt.
Go is a poorly-designed 70s throwback language that makes progress at a snails pace. How many years did it take the Go community to introduce functional dependency management and other tooling on par with Elixir's? Oh, that's right. They still haven't.
Maybe they're thinking of the Librem 5 USA? Priced at $2k, also pretty hard to justify even if I do kind of admire what they're trying to do with it.
N=49

Interesting results, but I'd take them with a grain of sugar until they get replicated several times over. Especially since they match my bias that sugar=bad.
> If google wants to claim that a binary they're shipping to users is same the one they received, they don't need my private key to do that. They can make their own signature, with their own key.

IIRC this is how it works by default for new apps. Uploading your existing signing key is only necessary for backwards compatibility to allow you to update existing apps that have already been published using that key.
I have something very similar, but an Optiplex.

One thing I had to do recently though is swap pfsense for Untangle because of drastically better FQ-CoDel implementation in Untangle.
Just a note that I’m astounded that a remark saying “hey, I’ve hired a diverse team, here are some structural things I’ve found that helped - tell me more about your team makeup” is something that garnered any downvotes at all. Are there seriously people here who believe this is a bad idea? I’d love to hear more about why you do!
Very curious to why you’re being downvoted. None of the other replies seem to give a good reason.

Why is it that Hacker News loves to bring up topics where Jewish Law is discussed by non Jews during the Sabbath in the U.S. when most Jews who read Hacker News won't be able to provide correct information?

apparently, turkeys have a pretty understandable language. There's a documentary, My Life as a Turkey [1]; he was able to decipher what each call meant (e.g. which squawk meant "snake" and which one meant "eagle"). So, if you were walking with a turkey, and you saw a snake and wanted to warn it about it, you could, in theory, communicate with it.

I strongly disagree. If email was non-federated (like HTTP) then either it wouldn't be so ubiquitous, or a single company would control the digital communication of most of the world's citizens.

Either of those outcomes would result in a poorer world.

The fact that facebook, telegram, whatsapp, etc are all centralized doesn't seem to stop criminals using those platforms.
thanks for the clarification - I had not known polio was only at 90% - since it has been all but eradicated (?) I had assumed it was 100.

I worry many others assume similar - as going back to an office with all at 80-90% I would do, but I may skip the shared bathrooms if I was really worried about it.
If you’re going to calculate distances between two geological locations, then you want to calculate Great Circle distances, as that will be the shortest path at the surface of the planet.

A straight line distance might require tunneling down into the planet a surprising amount of distance, and is an absolute lower bound on the possible distance between the two points, but is not a realistic distance that could actually be achieved in most cases.
In that vein, should Google replace POSIX here? And maybe that cuts to the heart of the matter more then you meant to, haha.
The percentage of civil servants in the local workforce probably also has an effect. If only 2% of people are civil servants or otherwise receiving an indexed wage, then other factors may dominate. But if a large number of people are civil servants / receiving an indexed wage, then positive feedback might dominate.
We don't deal so much with process mapping PPTs (still a lot of PPTs though).

Except for PPT "beautification", we don't ship work to India. In the few occasions we end up outsourcing something, those are usually well paid experts, mostly local.

We're generally take scope changes well, assuming it's something reasonable. There's a tacit understanding that the client don't know all requirements beforehand. Understanding the actual problem is usually part of the work. So we build a level of trust that allow us to discuss scope trade-offs if/when needed.

Fresh grads are paired with Ivy league MBA consultants, at least a 100% manager ~5+ experience, and an experienced partners. Clients can check out ppl CVs but now they just go to LinkedIn.

I do think that having them centered in the group makes it easier to be inclusive to remote participants. GVC has been great for years, so I expect the tech to work flawlessly.

But everything else looks horrible. Hard surfaces. Completely vertical seatbacks that only go up to your lower back. Little sound isolation. Teeny tiny spaces to put a laptop. Limited surfaces to put a cup of coffee.

Software is now deeply integrated into every aspect of our lives. It's expected that there's a lot more of it. What we don't know is how many and what variety of software companies would exist if the app store wasn't so obviously designed to commodify the complement of Apple's iPhone cash cow.

If the market would bear it and they could increase prices profitably, why wouldn’t they just do it today, regardless of wages?

I’d be curious to see your statistics on the price differences. Do you have a link?

Here are some reasonable explanations for how third parties cut costs without resort to a conspiracy:

1. Less warranty on repairs.

2. Lower cost substitute parts.

3. Lower quality control,

4. Less training for staff.

5. Lower profit margins, leading to unsustainable businesses.
None of the reports I found bothered to link to the court ruling. I eventually found it on Justia. That one refers to an earlier case involving a laptop battery, so I've included a link to it as well. I haven't had a chance to do more than skim the rulings so far, but at least in the earlier case the courts focused on third-party sales where Amazon held the product and shipped it from their own warehouses.

#2 should have been a requirement. I used to sell a product through Hot Topic, its no Walmart or Amazon in terms of scale, but a Fortune 500 retailer with around 800 stores when we were a vendor and insurance was required.

I mean not requiring sellers to be insured - and yes every product is different, has different risks, but that is reflected in the insurance premium - basically is Amazon saying they don't give a shit about the quality of the products they market on their marketplace nor the safety of their marketplace customers. Its scandalous and if people only knew how much power they actually had they would crush Amazon into the dirt over night just by collectively organizing a mass cancellation of Prime, 1 week boycott of purchases and visitation...it would bring Amazon to its knees.

The same code can be statically linked into the binaries for those programs, or the code can be loaded as shared objects (modules, essentially).
Smaller apks are great, but throwing away the security model to get smaller apks really isn't. :(

Has Google come out with a way to compress string localization information yet? That would make a big difference for apps that support lots of languages, and last I checked (which was a few years ago, so happy to be wrong), Google didn't have a good solution there.
Anecdotal, but possibly another way to look at this.

I moved to Sydney, Australia about 9 years ago. This city is VERY clqiey. For Sydneysiders, it's all about what school you went to and who you know.

But if you're a foreigner, you kinda automatically hack the system, because they don't know anything about the school or people where you're from. It doesn't even come up in conversation that I didn't go to University, like they automatically assume I went somewhere, and that they can't qualify me anyway.

This isn't a way to hack the early dollars of a rich parent who can payroll a start-up, but you may be surprised how you can get into the "right places" and meet the right people.

At the same time, if you've got the attitude that says everyone else has benefits that I don't have, you'll get that in return. Same if you just go looking for "connections" I suspect.

Indian scientists flag virus mutations that could ‘evade immune response’
I dunno. I’ve only read the abstract [1], but I feel like the second paper was like, “glucose = bad because of glycemic response? Nope!” And the first paper was just like, “glucose = bad”

That is, the earlier paper noticed that consuming glucose/sucrose-containing beverages reduced cognitive performance compared to consuming beverages with no glucose, and the later paper was trying to figure out why. And to figure out why, the second paper compared glucose and isomaltulose (glucose-containing saccharides with different glycemic responses) to see whether a sugar’s predicted glycemic response could account for the differences in cognitive performance noticed in the earlier study between beverages with glucose and those without.

[1] This second paper’s abstract doesn’t mention glucose vs. no glucose’s effects on cognitive performance like the earlier paper does.
>you are protected from Google's unpredictable moves.

Am I? It seems I am still influenced by their moves. Of course doing nothing is a good protection against any failure except perhaps a total failure to deliver anything useful? It is predictable, yes but I am not sure we can count it as protected result. It is more like protected nothing
Anyone in the supply chain is a potential party to products liability lawsuits, not just the supplier and retailer. So you have manufacturers, shippers, etc...
Around 3 minutes. It was longer, but getting rid of Kubernetes helped speed things up.
The percent of developers is likely small, but that’s the wrong stat, as we don’t care very much about the ~90% of devs that have one or two apps with a handful of downloads. Rather, this is about attacking big targets - a small number of apps with massive numbers of downloads.

Put another way, the percent of total app installs coming from devs who have the resources to run a signing server is likely much higher.
>much of the world is using older hardware with relatively smaller amounts of memory and storage.

If you read Linus' email, you'll see that for most libraries it doesn't save any memory or disk space.

What it WOULD do to link statically is save the extra IO needed to load shared libraries (somewhat, the same code would be loaded at program execution instead of dynamically).
> But it looks to me that the pricing for the display modules is holding that market back. Maybe because of a patent or something and not enough competition.

Nope. It is volume. In the display industry, if you're selling less than a million panels a month, then you're a niche exotic industry. E Ink is probably not even reaching 50% of that. Think about this way. E Ink in the display market is unfortunately the equivalent of a sports car in the car market. It'll only become cheap if it can defeat or be competitive with LCD/OLED displays and step up to reasonable volumes, and that's unlikely to happen just due to the physics of electrophoretics.
Linus works for LF where most of its key members are server and PC and high-end cpu vendors, where resource is plenty so you can run, say 100 static programs.

There is a different market called embedded devices, 64MB-256MB RAM are still very common and there are probably 100x more devices in this segment than LF members' fat ones combined. Without shared library, you will quickly run out of RAM/Storage space on them.
A magnetic switch by itself isn't enough. You have to not know exactly if you initiated a certain action. And devices like this are only permitted for emergency workers, or for medical assistance equipment like a motorized wheelchair, and not everyone holds that this is allowed.

I'm honestly more interested in the failure mode that ingenuity eventually meets. Something lame like a human error in flight planning? Cosmic ray annihilating a critical component?

Reinventing QNX will be cutting edge for decades.
> Reread the thread. In this thread, the OP is speaking about design obsolescence.

I don’t need to reread it. My response applies to design obsolescence.

Relatively few people upgrade every year these days. The fact that the old devices are still desirable negates the idea that people don’t want them because they look outdated. I.e. changes in design are not causing people to stop using the devices.

For design obsolescence to apply to Apple, workable devices would need to be retired from service early because they were no longer seen as desirable.

That isn’t happening.
It stands to reason that selling arbitrary offshore products without liability insurance will come to an end. Almost every offshore brand and reseller has a throwaway name so they can just fold up and start over should anything happen.

What you said doesn't sounds like a good plan or make sense.

If I can land a job at faang why would I quit after two years to start a one person startup myself with $100,000 capital live horribility for 2 years at a faang and probably 2 more years trying to live off of that 100,000.

It sounds naive. If I want my startup to succeed I can't wait two years to basically bootstrap the business. If I'm at a faang why not wait a little longer and leave with someone else and get millions in seed money?
