I 2nd the obvious notion of trying to fix a problem. But this is a loaded question. There is a million answers to this single question all stemming from who/what/where/when you want to find a solution for. Like everyone else, I have a billion ideas but one thing to try and it does work that I learned from Amazon is working backwards from the problem, then do the obvious of cost analysis short term then long depending on if you're trying to make money right away or aggregate a critical mass first before trying to figure out how to make money. Of course the obvious notion is one doesn't need money but the 2nd options needs much up front ie. organic growth or get VC funding for all out blitz.

Also go on reddit, HN commenters don't vent here, but you can find plenty of venting on reddit. You will no doubt find problems to resolve and if that isn't enough. There is even a sub for startup app ideas where people for the most part not capable of developing it themselves come there to "vent" why isn't there an app that does ...... ?
Does anyone not seem to care about code hotloading at all? Shared libraries enable that. It's a HUGE iteration bonus that seems gets glossed over in favor of onerously processes and dogma.
This is ok in my book it forces small sellers to other platforms and consumers to chase them there too.
It's a bit like if someone says something about how "quantum mechanics means that your consciousness can alter reality" and you said "that's not what it means" and they said "okay then what is the correct interpretation of quantum mechanics" and you said "it's complicated and there are different opinions" like just because there's debate doesn't mean all opinions are equally authoritative.
> wasn't so obviously designed to commodify the complement of Apple's iPhone cash cow

This makes no sense whatsoever. High quality apps are in Apple’s interest because they need to compete against Android and the web.

The reason the app business model is hard, is that there is a lot of money, enormous competition now, and no intellectual property protection. Nothing more. If anything the App Store has slowed the commodification.
Well, with Android's walled garden, competitors outside of it are not allowed to compete on a level playing field with the Play Store.

User installable 3rd party mobile app stores cannot implement automatic upgrades, background installation of apps, or batch installs of apps like the Play Store can. These limitations are designed by Google and are implemented in Android.

If the user tries to install an app on their own, they're shown scary warnings and must adjust arcane settings, but if they use Google's Play Store, no scary warnings are shown and no settings need to be adjusted. They're told they're "protected" by Play Protect, but aren't shown scary warnings about the fact that the Play Store is the main distribution method for malware on Android[1] when they go to install apps with it.

I love the use of the word "just" like this. One of the prroducers I worked with would double of the quote for any client that uses the word "just" when trying to downplay the amount of effort.

The producer(s) of ST TOS would have to know that the money earned from doing that work would be worth the effort. It could easily cost more than they'd make.

Seriously though, the article was very well written. I knew it was a cheap shot. Sadly for some of us 1994 doesn’t seem like that long ago.

The killer feature of the iPod wasn't the iPod itself so much as the iTunes Music Store. Apple solved the "how do the record labels make money" problem that was at the heart of the previous failures of portable digital music players.

The micro-HDD that let you carry an actually useful amount of music was the other big feature. They weren't the first to have a big drive, but they were the first that had a big drive and a useable music store.
This is really nice, I will play with it this weekend. I starred your repo on github. Can it display exactly which directory a particular type of file is in with a --command?
I mean, this is the same thing that the whales are doing though. What's the difference? In both cases it's just mimicry.
Yeah, not to mention interpreted/jitted C++ is a thing (with cling/ROOT). It's very useful to be able to load random shared libraries and do things with them.
> IIRC this is how it works by default for new apps.

Personally, I'd like to see Apple, Google, and possibly Microsoft take this to what I think is the obvious conclusion: developers and independent software vendors submit source code, artwork and other such "assets", sufficient meta data, and build instructions to the store, the store builds and publishes the applications and makes them available to users. F-Droid builds and publishes using its own keys and while there are problems with delay for some time-sensitive apps (most notably Newpipe, an application to watch YouTube videos), it works out quite well for the most part. I can't imagine why Apple and Google couldn't have what are essentially multiple build runners running at the same time to cut this time shorter to something like an hour at the most?

In return at least for Android (Apple is a bit of a special case), I would like to see it made possible at least for F-Droid or something similar to be able to update apps without requiring user intervention. Not sure how the technology will work exactly but my understanding (please correct me if I am wrong) is Google Play Store has super cow powers and I think it should be able to "bless" other applications to have the same super powers?
> While I was at the conference, I stayed at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where young rabbis--I think they were Orthodox--were studying. Since I have a Jewish background, I knew of some of the things they told me about the Talmud, but I had never seen the Talmud. It was very interesting. It's got big pages, and in a little square in the corner of the page is the original Talmud, and then in a sort of L-shaped margin, all around this square, are commentaries written by different people. The Talmud has evolved, and everything has been discussed again and again, all very carefully, in a medieval kind of reasoning. I think the commentaries were shut down around the thirteen- or fourteen- or fifteen-hundreds--there hasn't been any modern commentary.

This is mostly wrong as other have pointed out.

JTS is not by any estimation orthodox. At most it would be considered Jewish-conservative. I’m surprised to learn they are concerned with not pushing elevator buttons, if that was true then it’s certainly not true today. Additionally, the Talmud absolutely has commentaries from the modern era, you can find commentaries from even the 1950s. Though it does take a few years for those to make it into the book. Maybe not directly in the margin but likely sub-noted to the back of the book.

I also find it hilarious that he calls it medieval logic and then admits they out foxed him at every turn in any logical debate he tried. Not to mention I could likely take down the arguments he proposes without much trouble and I’m no rabbi.

Quoting: "We introduce a new energy function and a corresponding new update rule which is guaranteed to converge to a local minimum of the energy function."

Is this a minimum in a local area or local in the range of some function? I could see perhaps that'd being an advantage if you happen to know that local part of the range

In contrast we're usually looking for global min/max say with annealing algorithms. How is local is better in the context of this paper than global?
From the article:

> These tests, called “home brews,” are not commercially available, and there are no good estimates of their error rates.

So this is about clinical use of an uncharacterized test. Why is that relevant to the test for SARS-CoV-2, which has probably now been run more times than any other PCR test in history, including on large populations with extremely low test positivity (e.g., most of Australia, <0.1%), which bounds the specificity (e.g., to >99.9%)?

You look for reasons and inevitably get handed the same old story; the pandemic. Except this was happening before the pandemic. Yes, the problem is worse now, but components having been getting difficult to obtain for a while now.

The number of commits does not matter. What matters is the quality of it. My opinion is that each PR should be an independent and working unit.

If you have a too-huge PR that can be subdivided, it almost always means you have multiple units of work (feature/fixes) into one branch/PR.

The reason I agree with the article and use squash is that it allows us to have a different history between master and the local branches. Developers can freely subdivide each feature into how many commits are useful to their mindset and workflow, while the master branch will remain clean.

In my experience, the individual scope of each commit on the master branch is almost always correlated to the scope of one code review, and thus one PR.
I don’t think it’s so malicious. I think they just see a feature they’d like in the browser, and add it.

Google appears to be built on the idea of creating a feature or a service, sharing it, making some excitement, and then moving on to the next thing. I think a lot of these concepts are just engineers making things because they can get sign off on it.
Apple does allow easy replacing of the battery. Just go into an Apple store and ask for a replacement.

Nothing was proven by the lawsuit, since it never went to trial, you know this so it’s unclear why you’d repeat this falsehood.

As for not your suggestion that Apple not slow the devices down to extend the battery life and have users just replace the battery, that seems misguided.

Why would you want users to be forced to buy unnecessary battery replacements and further damage the environment by wasting working batteries?

It’s much better for the devices to be able to continue to use the batteries for longer, don’t you think?

I am not arguing that McD should take a particular policy. I am arguing that there are clearly functional business models for fast food under a higher minimum wage so that is not a valid excuse to avoid raising the minimum wage.

Continuing with the actual garden analogy, that's like trying to compete with the garden itself by planting your own flowers and the garden making it ugly with weeds. The point Apple and Google are making is that Google's walled garden is Android, as Apple's walled garden is iOS, and the app stores are simply features of those products, and thus to compete with them you need to compete with the entire product. And whether or not that's actually the case is currently being decided in Epic v Apple.
Sorry, that's absurd. The rationale for why something exists cannot be divorced from the history for why it exists. And there is no source for a principle of equality in nature.
Isn’t it simply that any changes by Google would clearly not match the developer’s signature so are evident when they are different?

If you’re made of money sure. For others, $300 for storage is a lot, but if it’s vs $200 vs $100, that has an impact on willingness to pay $300.
This anecdote from the article really struck me:

"An example: early on in my Twitter use (I was going to say “career”) I saw a Tweet from Stanford Libraries that they had digitized a significant chunk of the transcripts of the French Revolution. I was teaching class that afternoon, so I did a little exploration and put up some preliminary results as an example of how to explore datasets. Three years later, with colleagues in computer science and history, we published an award-winning paper based around that data.

From the point of view of Twitter, however, this is a massive fail. I saw the Tweet, and logged off to work on it."
Because they are more reliable and easier to clean. Machines rarely reject coins, they often reject legitimate bills. At least the ones I have used in Germany and Mexico.

My point is anyone in the supply chain is jointly and severally liable for products liability under the law.

It is indisputable Amazon is in the supply chain of these products, and of course of a case by case basis their role(s) for each product is different, including, but not limited to: at minimum promoting the products on their online marketplace, facilitating the purchase of the products (potentially conducting the transaction itself via Amazon gift cards), storing/warehousing product, shipping/delivering product, in some instances they are the wholesaler of product, etc...

They should be thankful for the time they had escaping obvious legal liability and the opportunity to get a decade+ head start on any new marketplace that wants to compete and will have to contend with these legal risks. Amazon will fight it to tooth and nail to the end, and then start with appeals, they could spend billions a year and lose but it would be worthwhile because the simple number of dangerous products on their marketplace some of them resulting in death.

Isn't that already the case, though? There's already a minimum wage in the US. The debate is about increasing the minimum wage, not creating one.
I'm a professional colorist.

Color grading is more common now, but the terms are mostly used interchangeably.

Older producers and film workers will still say color timing because they grew up in the industry referring to the purely analog photochemical process (last used on a big film for There Will Be Blood). It's also said on more expensive jobs when they're billing a higher rate for your work.
Another one is curated open source apps. Works really well for something like Spotify where content is in their servers. Developer agrees to pay $1 per line of code per update and review + submits app in github repo. In return the cost of subscription is dropped to 3% or so. This way chances of malicious apps is minimised.

I struggle to imagine anything proprietary about Spotify fronted app. Same for Facebook, Uber, Slack etc. Obviously doesn’t work well for games.

i'm not convinced that this is true, except with very basic necessities like food and water, and even then, those require a lot of energy to produce, and those aren't free yet since science hasn't discovered cheap or free energy yet.

I've used Debian as a daily driver on my laptop for several months now and I haven't observed issues with broken dependencies. I've observed that issue with other distros in the past (as well as the *BSDs) due to package managers that don't really have a good approach for dealing with complex changes to dependencies (e.g. the recent change in python default version in FreeBSD could not be handled by the package manager and needed to be done manually following instructions). I believe apt basically solves this problem surprisely well even in the face of complex changes. I think shared libraries are worth the small pain since it means that in the case of updating a library, only the specific library need to be updated with instead of everything that happen to statically link a library needing updating (if the upstream maintainer updates it in a timely manner or even at all!). A world where everything is statically linked would be a world where we were stuck with whatever the upstream maintainer decides is best for them and not what is best for the users.

Compare what kinds of music making tools are available inside the app store and outside the app store and you'll see this is completely not the case. There is tremendous competition outside the app store in this market but devs can still charge $200+ for a single very high quality product and make a good living selling paid upgrades. Users will crucify you for trying to charge $200 for anything in the app store. It's digital serfdom for devs.

Many writings of the founders were absolutely rife with references to antiquity and classical authors, it was a common practice of the time to write under a Roman republic era pseudonym, and off the top of my head, Jefferson and Adams knew Latin, Madison knew Greek and Latin, and they all were definitely well versed in the classics.
