Our cat, who had never seen a real snake, was hunting "snakes" - my hand in cobra position or rubber/plastic toy snakes - in very distinctive "mongoose" like style - cautiously moving around and ultimately making a lighning fast jump just a bit from a side and biting the "snake" right below the "head". When it were a "standing cobra" - my hand wrapped in several layers of cloth for protection - the bite would be right below the palm, a very strong bite with the cat simultaneously wrestling my hand to the ground using his whole body.
> Given that you can delete/download first party apps from the App Store now, including Camera, doesn't that imply that Apple can update first party apps remotely now?

No, deleting a built-in app just deletes the icon. You can “re-install” a built-in app via the App Store even if you don’t have a network connection, because it never actually left your phone.

Seems kinda dumb to still tie them to OS updates tbh, especially for Safari. Every other browser is pushing updates a few times a month and Safari is what, a few times a year?
And to further refute Epic's fanbase. Purchasing the vbucks outside of the App Store did not reduce the cost.
That's an extension to the fact that sometimes the best restaurants are the dingy places cooking abuelita's recipe.
Lol. It should be easy to make a self-driving car that would coordinate its actions with surrounding self-driving vehicles. It's extremely hard to make it behave well in an environment where some of the cars are driven by humans.

So, no, not soon. Unless we introduce dedicated lanes where only self-driving cars are allowed.

I gave up on pants sizes. You really have to go there and there is no system to it. Sometimes the numbers get bigger, sometimes smaller.

With shoes there is at least consistency because it seems like it became a penis enlargement thing there. On some brands my size grew from 43 to 47 in the recent years.
Do you buy brand name clothing? Cereal? Medicine? Did you buy your car/bike/transportation new or used? Where do you go to find a job? Etc

I still have my TI-85 from high school on my desk with batteries that expire in 2023. 2013 sounds about right for when I last put fresh batteries in it. Admittedly I use wabbitemu with a TI-85 ROM on my phone so I don't reach for my physical calculator as much as I used to.

But I will never not use this calculator in one form or another as my primary calculation device, it's just too familiar.

It is productive. My local bike shop sells me bike parts I need, just not as conveniently or efficiently as Amazon.

The ruthless pursuit of efficiency as it's own goal is a trap. Squeezing out every societal optimization is a very engineering centric mindset. There are many, many times where the most efficient solution to a problem isn't the "best" one, and we need to collectively get better at recognizing when that's the case.
It is just an extension of the current trends in fine cuisine: Hide sophistication behind apparent simplicity.

It isn't good or bad, it's just the current fashion that dictates how things are done. 20 years in the future, this will have changed.
Yes, yes (to the extent of maintaining their business relationship), and yes. I think you vastly underestimate the power of apathy. 99% of their customers won't even think about it, 90% of the customers who do think about it won't weigh its importance strongly enough to even potentially impact their decision, and 90% of the remaining customers will be satisfied with some minor deflection, platitudes, and hand-waving.

Don't get me wrong, I wish you were right, I just don't think you are.

Apple actually has been on a big crusade against any semblance of sexual content on the Store since early 2021, actually - Discord is now forced to hide all servers with NSFW content on iOS and a few art apps(e.g. Procreate) have removed art with sexual content from their sharing platform in recent updates.

I assume this is related to the case. Discord is sort of like a browser for people under 20 now.

As for why anyone would download this "counterfeit" copy of Xcode (quoting from TFA):

> XcodeGhost billed itself as faster to download in China, compared with Xcode available from Apple. For developers to have run the counterfeit version, they would have had to click through a warning delivered by Gatekeeper, the macOS security feature that requires apps to be digitally signed by a known developer.
It is not a snapshot of then when the issue happened, but I would equate it to https://www.apple.com/leadership/
Thanks for 1, I can replicate that!

Put in a fix for 2 as well.
Apple does a lot to actively destroy the privacy of iOS users, though. They assume you desire privacy from everyone but Apple. You can’t even get free iOS apps without giving them your phone number.
See the source code. It's a good real-world example of how to use prompt_toolkit to create a non-trivial TUI application.

Except Epic was not happy with this which is why they also challenged Google and were kick from the Play Store at the start of all this.
[EDIT]
Actually in the court filings they stated they was OS level access to the device with no warning or approval process from Apple.
Yeah, I would like to see more examples of startups picking up Clojurescript (or any of these non-mainstream languages), and running circles around their competitors as a result.
I think I confused which feature they were talking about.

It’s far fetched maybe but dogs can smell Parkinson’s and cancer before the person develops medically detectable symptoms. So maybe not so far fetched.

Doesn’t have to be a pet. Doesn’t detect when the person will DIE of cancer, yet it shows up later.

Birds have been shown to return to the same locations if they fit their needs. Perhaps it was indicating an illness.

Far fetched but absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Statistics are not science. Science requires real world evidence and other animals offer at least some evidence they can detect fatal illness in advance.
"Restructure their wealth" poor phrase. Income isn't only salary, you're getting stocks/options. Consultants, not available to the middle class, can optimize your income.

CoL increase maybe not a problem, but its still an increase, if you're trying to tax the rich, you've hit the wrong target.

After a certain rate, as taxes rise, revenue falls. Feds keep spending, when they realize projected income will fall short, the goal line moves from 400K to 200K, then 100K, etc.

We should lower taxes and close the 1000's of loopholes, I would bet revenue goes up.

And I learned a new word today, "wanton"!
From the article:

«What gives? It's a long list, but here are some of the highlights:

* Parents - particularly mothers - cannot work because closures or shortened hours at schools and daycare keep them home to watch their kids. read more

* Would-be workers remain concerned about health risks amid a pandemic still claiming about 700 American lives daily.

* Stock market gains have given some older workers the cushion to retire.

* Some younger workers are finding jobs in new fields, shrinking the labor pool for the industries they left behind.

* Many employers need to fill jobs requiring skills that sidelined workers may not have.

* Employers complain that enhanced unemployment benefits and other government aid are keeping workers on the sidelines, content to collect a check rather than work for a living. Data released by the Labor Department on Thursday showed more than 16 million people are still receiving some form of unemployment benefit, now more than a year into the pandemic.»

I'm not big on Fortnite but iirc they had some events like virtual concerts etc. in game. This signals to me they're more interested in being that "metaverse" than, say, CS:GO.
If our water sources are decreasing, and building new infill housing for more people decreases water use, then more people's helps the water problem by changing our very infrastructure.

But more people will help our water situation in other ways too. Those new people also bring the resources with them to address a changing climate that has more water variability. Because of Prop 13, a static population will starve local governments of funds to deal with their water issues. We require new people to reset tax assessments and bring in funds.

A third way that more people help the water situation is that it wrests more control of water from economically exploitive water usages such as industry and towards more socially supportive uses. The current coalition of residents does not have sufficient political power to reform our awful water rights system. It will take an expanded electorate of residents to overpower the i democratic influence of the industrial uses of water that would be far better suited to other areas of the country.

'The Dark Side of the Moon' Is Still Selling 10k copies a week (2011)
Tried a low-code plat recently. Ended up writing more js than I'd bargained for and then decided it'd be quicker and easier to write my own API to expose to the low code tool purely as a frontend. This was just simple composition of rest endpoints exposed via a 3rd party API - some looping. Maybe there's better platforms...be interested to hear which ones are working well for people.

Sure, if calling any external function or writing though any pointer would force the callee to copy the object then yes you can have only the callee do the copy, but then it seems that this optimization would apply only to a very small subset of functions.

The TI-83 has a huge software ecosystem of games and apps that people have written and/or ported to it.

A search for "TI-83 games" brings up a bunch of them.

Edit: Sadly TI seems to have discontinued C/ASM support on newer versions of their calculator OS/firmware, presumably to discourage exam cheating apps and remain eligible for use on standardized tests. ;-( So if you have an older calculator, don't "upgrade" your firmware I guess!
Yes. And they sleep well at night, moral obligation to the shareholders and all that. Competition won't do anything.
I care less about the iPhone because I’m never going to do real work on it. It’s my everywhere computer and my emergency computer, there’s a benefit to there being absolutely nothing anyone can feasibly do to fuck it up.

But the iPad, man I really wish they would settle somewhere between the iPhone and the Mac. I can appreciate that it’s the primary computer for millions of people like my mum, so there still needs to be some coddling. But my iPad Pro is a really nice, capable device, and it’s a shame I can’t do anything useful with it purely because my job requires capabilities Apple doesn’t want to give! It would never be a replacement for my Mac, but being able to noodle on some side projects while I watch TV would be nice.

Maybe things will start to change now they’re putting the M1 in iPads? You can now spec out an iPad with 16GB RAM—if my best option for writing code is still streaming VS Code from a different machine that will be a sad joke.
Why would a company do something in the interest
of the consumer if it was not in their interest

There are many reasons, but if for no other: so that emails like this don't leak and cause you bad PR! There's a whole school of thought around being 'customer focused' that boils down to the Golden Rule (but in MBA-speak). I don't know how many 'customer focused' businesses really walk the walk; probably not that many in situations where doing so requires real guts.
“They always try to screw you”. Wow. Wow. Wow.

That’s how we end up with monopolistic companies. Instead of actually making an effort to look for great small business in your city, you’ve just going to spend all your money on Amazon and when you get called on it your answer is they “always try to screw me”. I don’t know if you believe it or you just want the moral high ground for your bad consumer behaviours.
Are you saying that in C a callee can cast a const pointer to non-const and write to it and that's sanctioned by the Standard?
Looks like it works for thin scattering layers, but you have to customize the light pattern for that specific sample and that specific angle and distance. So it’s not something that will allow a flashlight to shine through a wall.
But this was never a feature (aka freedom) you were offered when you purchased the system.
The English name for Agaricus bisporus is "white button mushroom".

Unfortunately I don't have access to the full article, but the link from the paper leads to an abstract that describes this study as a survey of 17 other papers: https://academic.oup.com/advances/advance-article-abstract/d...

So likely they're not all based on US consumption of US-common varieties, but I do wish I could find more details.
The problem is the network effect. With GPUs, substantial effort has been done to build products and tools on top of Nvidia's proprietary framework (CUDA). The community invested in a proprietary system under the understanding that Nvidia will supply the hardware and not monopolize this investment.

Should the community have divested from Nvidia's proprietary format and spread its resources on multiple platforms? Concentrating effort can benefit everyone, but it requires trust.

In addition, part of this community investment was funded by government research grants, adding a legal/public policy aspect to the issue. Should taxpayer money be spent on creating private, abusive, monopolies?
The book looks interesting but I'm not a fan on the spin you're apparently putting on it.

The London real estate market and maybe real estate dealers perhaps benefit. Most citizens of UK don't benefit from parts of London being actually empty for purposes of investment.

The recycling of third world dollars back to the West has been ongoing since the "patrodollars" of the 1970s. Those who get a piece of those dollars benefit, the average citizen Western nations haven't benefited from the tremendous economic imbalance this has created.
It feels like Netflix knows what I like and throws things I don’t like at me on purpose, just to see whether I’ll change my mind. (So I unsubscribed)

The discovery is specifically what makes Youtube, Netflix or Spotify sticky beyond just content hosting, and even at suggestions, pirate websites are better at it.
The devices are cool, but you can't do virtually anything with them.

I own the first gen Apple Watch. It's a slow, expensive heart rate monitor that dings me when I need to turn based on feedback from Apple Maps.

I'll end up buying the new one this year, which will in turn be a fast, expensive heart rate monitor that dings me when I need to turn based on feedback from Apple Maps, and tells me if I'm somewhere that's too loud.

And yet, somehow I don't need basically any of that information when it's already right in front of me. Incredible, I know.

I've never owned an Apple TV, but I ordered this new one as soon as it was released. I anticipate it will be a faster smart TV than the software included on the one I currently use, and that I can use AirPlay on it. Neat, I guess.

Can you really do anything else? I don't think so.
Probably not worth bothering your elderly parents over. After 60 your risk of death from cancer starts declining, because other causes dominates your risk of death from cancer. By 90 the cancer risk is less than 10%. https://flowingdata.com/2016/01/05/causes-of-death/

I would like to see the paper - there are so so many obvious confounding factors (age, tastes, diet, wealth, social group etcetera).

Past experience about “miracle” antioxidants (ergothioneine in this case) has shown me how much bollocks there is in popularised science.

I would also be interested how robust the results were to removing each dataset. One fraudulent paper could ruin their conclusions?
Okay, I meant the point that is just one level deeper than the obvious (this) one.
Obviously if you are interacting with an old protocol that uses network byte order for some things, you will need to use these functions.

But what's the argument for using them in new game code?

The code will not be running anywhere that has big-endianness. No current platform a game could run on uses it, and I can't imagine a scenario where a new platform would come into existance and use it either.

If you insist on using network-byte order anyway, then you have to do an extra bswap op for each bit of data you send. Sure, the cost of that is super minor and probably not worth worrying about.

But the bigger cost is that you can't just send whole structures at a time. You have to individually serialise each thing. Now you have to have a whole serialisation concept. You have to have some way of enumerating all the fields. You have to walk all the structures. What a pain.

If you want to send a thing over the network, just send it.
I guess my point is those $400K+ people will have more incentive to avoid the taxes, and when theres a shortfall ... the fed will move to taxing the next group down $400K -> 200K -> 100K -> 50K, etc.

We should put effort into compliance, instead of increases.
Andreas (the creator of SerenityOS) and the community have been an absolute joy this past year.

Andreas recently setup a Discord server for the project and it is wonderful. It is full of people helping each other with OS development, enhancing the platform and building applications.

His regular streams cover many different areas of development and are always wholesome. Truly one of the best things I have found online in recent years.
How this Instagram story kills your phone
1. LEGOs, "The Way Things Work" by David Macaulay, programming (for me, LOGO, Excel, TI-Basic, but there's better now), any kind of game system to analyze or theorycraft (but avoid games with too much time-sink!)

1a. Look for kindred spirits in general. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic science, math, and history teachers, but also find peers!

2. Don't bother with this. It creates a tunnel vision that smothers other futures, and sets up destiny as something to dread, instead of something to happily stumble upon. Inventions come from synthesis across fields more than specialization within one.

You are absolutely right that culture and inequality is the key decider on violence. The US worship guns and the military to a degree I have never seen in any other western country. I am not surprised at all that individuals in the US believe they can fix things by shooting a random number of people or blow up federal buildings. I have lived and worked in western Europe, USA and Australia so I have seen the differences in culture up close.
Sounds like OP meant this case is anti-monopoly, not Epic itself.
Can you explain how this post is again not just a toxic disingenuous misrepresentation of store exclusives?
Yes. By probability any attempt at an answer is absurd.

I have a giant box, guess what's in the box. I'm willing to bet 1 million dollars that any guess you make is wrong simply because there are too many possible things that could be in the box. Is that a reasonable bet? Yes.

I have a universe, guess what created it. I'm willing to bet 1 million dollars that any guess you make is wrong simply because there are too many possible things that could have created the universe. Is that a reasonable bet? Yes.

The agnostic makes a different bet. He says he doesn't know what's in the box but there's a 50% chance it's god and a 50% chance it's not.

The real probability is god is but a 1 out of infinite probability where the domain encompasses Bolzman brains and cosmic hippos. The better bet is to say it could be anything BUT god.

Anything but god yields a (infinite - 1)/infinite probability of being correct, aka 100%.
