I suspect the underlying psychological tension is between "learn-design-create" versus "obey-follow playbooks-be reliable" People like me took decades to stop fighting the latter. Security is "for those that pay" in most cases, which also can set up some social tensions for those who consider larger social issues. make sense?
but what if _you_ want to do those things?
I fully agree.

My stock calculator app now asks for me to agree to terms and conditions. It didn't do that previously. Why on earth would I ever upgrade my calculator? (I always decline of course)

Any by the way, WHY does android even bother me with upgrades, if it's going to upgrade my apps anyway whether I want it or not?
Thank you for the link! Very interesting read. I kinda knew about this stuff but reading about it in sources like the nlab would always confuse me. This, on the other hand, feels very accessible.

Incidentally, I studied algebraic geometry with a functorially oriented professor; one day, in passing, he said something along the lines of not wanting to use the axiom of choice in the proof of some result. At the time I didn't understand and I didn't ask for clarification, but the puzzlement stayed with me for a while. Having read this, it looks like his remark might have been related to this kind of stuff (e.g. chapter 12).
I think for me that sometimes the large companies get over-siloed and that the small companies get over-scattered and under-funded. My best experiences have been at fairly large companies that are able to combine the better aspects of both and have enough flexibility within a defined set of processes, and the budget to support what’s going on.
If you mean within the browser, vim plugins do exactly this. I use one called Vimium, very customizable.
You shouldn't have any deliverability issues unless you're sending bulk mail. You may have to bother some mail admins if they have bad IP blocklist rules. Most mail providers are fast to respond if you're having delivery issues to them. Except for Zoho. Encourage people with Zoho to switch mail providers.
And the purpose of a market is to force for profit corporations to compete with other actors. Sometimes this requires regulation when a one or a few get too large.
I run my own homeserver. It wasn't too hard to set up but it's fairly resource-intensive. I have it on a big Ryzen and barely notice it but I think it would crush something like a Raspberry Pi (especially if you tried to run it off an SD card)
Why are you assuming no private communication happened? They aren't paid anything so setting up a new service with a domain not controlled by the disagreeable party seems to be the rational choice. What are they losing exactly?

Yes. But California isn’t Europe. There’s a million factors that led to California, or America as a whole, sprawl. Probably, primarily, land is plentiful and cheap. When it is no longer possible to get cheap land then density will naturally follow.

Take New York as an example. Limited land area. Lots of money. Drove up density and has a low reliance on cars and has an ok public transportation system.

Everywhere else it’s just cheap as hell to buy land and build. California is getting to the point now that some areas are expensive and density is increasing. But its also easy for people to just move somewhere else still

Yeah, I've had the same experience, but I've really had to resist that instinct, to avoid sounding too pompous.

The chain all in one place, such that it's readable:

> Before the iPhone existed, I worked on a few games for what were called "feature phones": Doom RPG 1&2, Orcs&Elves 1&2, and Wolfenstein RPG.
Qualcomm's native-code BREW platform had better versions, but I haven't seen any emulators and archives for it, so they may be lost at this point. The J2ME (java mobile) versions are still floating around, and can be emulated.

> My son wanted to get O&E2 running, so we set out on a little adventure.
Kemulator ran the game, but audio was glitchy and it hung after you died in game. Well, we are programmers, we should be able to fix it. Unlike most emulator projects, Kemulator turned out to be closed source abandonware, so we moved over to freej2me, which is a live github project.

> The hang didn't happen, but audio was even worse. Missing sound effects was a simple bug fix -- MIDI sounds weren't seeking to the start on replays. We will submit a patch. Still, everything was glitchy with audio underruns.
We noticed that the emulator was taking an absurd amount of CPU, despite the game being built for <100 MHz mobile CPUs.

> We spent a frustrating afternoon exploring java profiling tools, but finally, Flight Recorder and JDK Mission Control pointed out the root cause: explicitly invoked garbage collection. A vague memory of having to call system.GC() every frame to avoid problems on some mobile phones bubbled up. We couldn't change the source on the game, but the jvm has a handy option -XX:+DisableExplicitGC that fixed everything right up.

> This is an interesting case where an operation is >10x slower on a modern computer.

It depends on what you mean by want. Are you having feelings of desire? Sure. That's the point of demos and commercials. I fully believe you have those feelings, and trust you to be an expert on them.

But I've done a lot of customer development over the years. People say all sorts of things. The question when doing market analysis is what they'll actually do. And the better guide there is what they're actually doing , not what they say they would do.

So when you say that "everyone in immigrant communities" will buy it, I'm going to be skeptical because what people are actually doing is nothing like that. They could already move in this direction with existing tech. As far as I can tell, they aren't. If you have evidence otherwise, I'd love to see it.

I also can't find evidence of third parties competing with shared higher-quality video call setups, which is what we'd expect to see if the demand were there but the price hadn't fallen enough yet. That's the pattern we saw with video arcades and internet cafes/wangbas, for example. Wangbas are still getting by because they've shifted to gamers, who are willing to pay up for better hardware and connections (and room for team play). But I can't find mention of any similar shift for video calls. E.g. India's PCO network seems to be in rapid free-fall, not reinventing themselves around high-quality video calls. That suggests what all the other market data suggests: to the extent people want video calling, relatively low-quality gear like smartphones and laptops are in practice sufficient.

That's not true. There are repeat customers, so you probably mean app sales not customers. Even that isn't true, since there are in-app sales that go through Apple.
Not being a programmer, I never have any idea what Carmack is talking about, but I'm always enthralled.
Yup. People are generally quite shitty, but not because of gender. That doesn't mean they won't use gendered language to be shitty (because that's a more natural way to be shitty), but it's about the same amount for both.

If Epic wins, then consoles are next, and the whole store business will be either in a race to the bottom, or there will be wild mergers with game companies buying hardware makers.

Fortnite was a 5bn/year game that made only 7% of its revenue on iOS, but much more on consoles. This is just a the beginning of a huge fight over a market that has grown incredibly huge, and Epic having realised that access to hardware is crucial to their further growth.

I mean, they could simply make their own, but perhaps that's more risky than suing Apple, Sony, MS for access to their platforms.
Amusing anecdote.

I was in a class with a Japanese instructor. I had a great deal of trouble understanding him. A hand was raised and a person began talking with a very different accent (Finnish) and I understood very little of that. The Japanese instructor understood the question and replied. I however understood almost nothing of the entire exchange. This may be the future for native English language speakers or perhaps is already the norm in some parts of the world.
Worse than their morality standards, they have a history of enforcing political restrictions and doing the bidding of other governments - for example, removing an app that allowed Hong Kong residents to track police to avoid getting hurt or killed by them during the widespread protests. So you have to ask, is Apple going to actually protect your privacy or your rights? They've already proven they'll hand all your data over to the Chinese government as a condition of getting access to that market.
Obviously the discussion is about NFT's the artists minted themselves.

Counterfeits isn't relevant to the discussion here. It's like complaining that tipping a server doesn't work because the cash might be counterfeit. It has nothing to do with the main point.

It's going to really depend on what you're going for, but probably something along the lines of "docker + best practices" is the most bang for your buck solution.

I could write a simplified curl in a week-end, I could even write an HTTP server in the same week-end. The problem, they will only work together, no https of course, that "s" is really annoying.

And even that is not as straightforward as one might think. I did it it C, Unix, TCP sockets, nothing unusual, but when you start putting significant load, you start getting errors left and right and you have to handle them properly. These are all documented, but easy to overlook.
A physical Z applies a microwave pulse to the qubit.

A virtual Z is a book-keeping trick that changes the rotation axis of later gates.

When you're writing an algorithm, you tend to want as few operations as possible so you'd prefer a virtual Z. When you're doing a physics experiment, or trying to decouple from slowly-varying noise, you tend to want to actually affect the system and so would prefer a physical Z.

I expected it just to be the nostalgia, but actually those games hold up pretty well especially considering the limitations of the platform! Certainly they are a breath of fresh air compared to the microtransaction/ads/spin-the-wheel/spyware - ridden games for mobile platforms today.
Population size is a big problem. The more you scale up a democratic system, the more it becomes difficult to bootstrap and maintain a coherent political movement that can have a realistic chance to win an election, in what is probably a logarithmic scale. So the bigger the country, the more entrenched the options will be, which eventually boils down to two sides when you approach certain thresholds (one for the current government, and one against it).

As a contributor, do you wish to seize that choice from the founders/owners of the repo? If you could, wouldn't that make you somewhat less likely to start your own project, that you can reign over?

It is absolutely, without question, easier for a decent dev to find a job than for a non-tech giant to hire devs. I have done both and talk to companies as part of my current job about their hiring and attrition every month. We are in one of the most in-demand industries in the world.

If you are a decent developer, and you can't find a job, one of two things is happening:

1) You are being too picky: You're applying for jobs out of your league or that aren't a good fit for you (yet)

2) You need to fix up some skills. These could be coding, or they could be working with people, interviewing, presentation, etc.

When I applied for jobs, I fired out 140 applications in the space of 7 days and had multiple offers to talk (and then jobs) two weeks later, and I have no degree. But I didn't have fantasies about FAANG and driving a Tesla in two years, I applied at small companies that needed people like me. 5 years after that, I'm making very comfortable money from moving up gradually to better work and now have an hourly that is FAANG competitive. (I did freelance for 10 years previous to that, so the FAANG competitive compensation was 15 years in the making). People are impatient and don't want to look at their own assumptions and decisions critically.
I'm curious, what do you mean by "Poincaré-level mindblowing moments"? Specifically, I wonder how/where Poincaré enters the story.
Genuine question: what countries are you referring to? Also, I'm unfamiliar with any philosophy that posits that jury trials are lesser to judge trials. Isn't the whole point of trial by jury that juries are less likely to be partial than judges ("professionalism" doesn't stop a judge from being corrupt or from a classist selection bias in which judges are chosen from the upper echelons of society and thus biased accordingly)? No doubt there are tradeoffs between judges and juries, I just thought the consensus was "juries are fairer".

OK, so you're arguing customers spend <= 10 dollars per app on multiple apps. How many apps? These arguments are being used to make the case that Apple deserves to earn $20 billion USD per year, or even must. I think if you're going that far you should be able to at least support that with napkin math instead of hand-waving.

This article blames English specifically for what is ultimately a cultural difference. This goes for a native speaker in any language.

I speak passable Spanish, and have encountered the same "cultural dissonance" when dealing with a native speaker in a room full of non-native speakers. When you grow up embedded in a language and culture, you don't realize when you slip into colloquialisms and culture references that don't translate well.

That whole business deal the article opens with is a joke. It's not the native speaker's fault, nor the word's fault. It was the recipient who picked randomly when faced with an unclear choice. If you're unclear, as for clarification. I worked with an international collaboration of scientists during college and that was one of things you learned quickly. No one has the same frame of reference you do, so make sure you're all on the same page. Hell, simply rephrasing your understanding in a reply before you take action can clear this up in a single message. "So you wanted us to X? Got it!". Then the other party has the opportunity to step in and say, "No, do Y".
Devs are creating insane amount of value. Software is eating the world by making it much more efficient.
I'd attribute it to developers that have a complete lack of empathy and professionalism towards both their future selves and their colleagues.

Once one has gotten burned sufficiently by undocumented convoluted code I think there's an understanding that starts forming on how to make choices in libraries and structuring code. The problem is devs that jump around from greenfield to greenfield project and never get to experience that pain.
Perhaps it's a subtle nudge towards "okay we're making macOS just as locked down as iOS from now on... welcome to our new walled garden."

Apple does compete against and block other apps quite regularly. You can't change your default browser, heck you can't even install a different web rendering engine from the one they provide (which is another way of forcing app distribution to go through the web store since other browser vendors can't push the web forward on iOS).

The crux of the Epic case is that there's no alternative to the app store. If there were an alternative to the app store, Epic would not be subject to Apple's capricious whims or 30% tax. So, yes, Apple is blocking competition with their services on their platform.

The dynamic between Chinese and Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese in East Asia is very similar to the one between French and English, or more broadly Latin/Greek and all European languages. It's a good example to use for both sides (whether it is Easterners learning European languages or Westerners leaning East-Asian ones).
I could see the argument that reducing the cut is still anti-competitive, especially because it's easy to show how the TOS harms both competition and the consumer.

But if they allow alternative distribution channels, that would make the anti-trust case a lot more difficult both in actual court and in the court of legislative opinion. I have no problem with a 30% cut if alternative app distribution channels are allowed (a la Android).
Could you do pull-ups before you bought the bar? I’m always so tempted to get one because I so badly want to be able to do a pull-up. I’d be so pumped if I could just do one. But I have no upper body strength to speak of and getting to a pull-up seems nearly impossible so I never pull the trigger on buying the bar.
Prices fell with privatization (and efficiency went up).

The ownership structure doesn't matter. The UK has lots of publicly-owned and privately-owned transport systems that work well. The problem has been management. This is unlikely to change that.

I live somewhere in the UK that already has publicly-owned rail. Not as bad as the South-East, but it is still bad. I have no real idea how...but they manage it. EDIT: it actually hasn't transitioned yet...so we will see.
I think the article touches on a few interesting points, but only at a fairly shallow.

What I have noticed working with various levels of bilinguals is that native vs non-native often have different misunderstandings.

A native person firing something off to another native will make too many assumptions. "I understand what 'it' is. No need to elaborate" is the feeling.

Non-natives tend to lean on a smaller set of vocabulary and grammar. This tends to serve them well in slower, written communication but can give them trouble in speaking when there is a miscommunication and they don't have the skills to correct it. Over- or under-applying a rule past it's breaking point. They also have to contend with false friends(words to be related across languages but actually have different meanings), which can sometimes cause very hard to spot miscommunications as both speaker and listener have separate but consistent ideas in their heads.

When it comes to accents, in general it can be considered rude to ask someone to modify their accent. I know that if I affect a general American accent I will be understood better, but should I?
I don't think most languages with an HTTP client in the standard library use libcurl for it (certainly python, java, and C# do not).

It is amazing that in the past two decades most emulators transitioned from closed source closely guarded secrets to open sourced and often under a popular license.

The preservation is unparalleled.
