> Contrast with GCC Rust (https://thephilbert.io/2021/05/14/gcc-rust-weekly-status-rep...), which is attacking the problem from the other side by building a GCC Rust frontend in C++. That one will help with bootstrapping, which currently has to go through mrustc and many rustc builds.

Note that GCC Rust won't help any more with bootstrapping than mrustc can help. Getting one rustc version to compile is only the start of a long process of following the evolution of the language and implementing weird implementation behaviours the compiler now relies on for its own compilation.

You have to provide constant upkeep, and for that both mrustc and GCC Rust are suited equally well. On the other hand, rustc_codegen_gcc is way better suited for following the moving target, but obviously it can't be used for bootstrapping as it's written in Rust.
I don't get the whole Apple thing though. I can see the prices as inflated, but there are literally dozens of other options to iphones if you don't like iphone. Do you just want government to step in and run Apple as it sees fit like corps in China?
For me, the most important one was Diablo 2 because I spent way too much time in it. I got totally pulled into the addictive/gambling side of farming and trading gear, and, there were definitely some opportunities in life I missed because I was spending way too much energy on this.

I know this was the opposite thing you were looking for in your question but what this taught me is how exactly it feels when I get myself caught in this trap. I’m much better now at seeing myself falling into that mindset and then making changes, which has made a world of difference.
1. Transfer to your bank account via an exchange (KYC applies)

2. Turn it into cold hard cash or a bank transfer via P2P (no KYC )

3. Withdraw cash directly from a Bitcoin ATM (KYC may apply depending on the exchange issuing the card)

4. Transfer to a crypto debit card and buy from stores directly (KYC may apply depending on the exchange issuing the debit card)

5. Pay directly with your crypto at relevant stores (projects like AMP - https://amptoken.org/ - US only for now)
It depends on the country or region. What are the chances to have a family member and a work colleague dead in the only 2 plane crashes in the past 30 years in my country? Well, call it a coincidence, but for me it's a reality. If you fly only in Western Europe or USA, it is paranoid, if you get over Ukraine, Belarus or Afghanistan, it's precaution.

Isn't there a way to create a rectifier with just three diodes? I remember having come up with a way to make one once, but there must have been something wrong with it (I know nothing about electronics). Now I can't remember how it was, or maybe it had 4 and just looked slightly different from the typical one.
The history is absolutely crucial here because the lack of people's interests in "alternative explanations" at this point in time is literally the history. There was room for it in the past, people gave the benefit of the doubt, and then year after year Apple kept debunking it through more and more consistent bad behavior. The ship has sailed already. At some point you gotta realize the doubt that you're so generously trying to give them the benefit of has been vanishing.

Does Kiter have workflow tools to make those best practices easier? Or will it?

Thanks, though as a caution, I'm not fully sold myself, and I'm curious about cases in which information, knowledge, storage/retrieval, transmission, or processing might be either defensive or equalisers.

Various forms of camouflage come to mind. Though the thought occurs that those can also be used by the more- and less-empowered, perhaps asymmetrically.

I agree. This looks like the problems that are easier to solve by a computer than a human, specially because the time to react is very tight, I had to try 3 or 4 times because I ran out of time.

What kind of theft, and from whom?

My understanding is that a person with decision making power at these factories are negotiating with third party repair shops, agreeing on a price, and selling authentic Apple badged components or Apple schematics to them. In that sense, it is not theft.

My understanding is that this is in absolute violation of Apple's license agreements and contracts with these factories. Those factories do not have a de jure legal right to sell those parts. In that sense, it is intellectual property theft.

If and when these factories put those components on a palette, put that palette into a container, and put that container onto a ship, and that ship sails to a Western country with intellectual property protections, Apple has reported the shipments to customs authorities and gotten them seized as counterfeit parts, despite the fact that they were manufactured as part of the same batches as parts that became devices that were sold in Apple stores. Apple's problem is that China doesn't give a shit about any objections Apple might have to two CCP sanctioned Chinese businesses doing (illegal) business with each other.

It shouldn't be intellectual property theft- Apple ought to be obliged to make these components and schematics available at fair prices to shops like Rossman's. But that's the way it ought to be- in the mean time, it is theft, and those parts are stolen. Hopefully we'll be able to get the laws fixed someday.
Okay, decentralized currency is one idea. This can be used to implement some money with a monetary policy that is transparent and modified through consensus: eg bitcoin - deflationary via finite supply. Multi-party wallet is another. With this, cryptographic signatures from a majority of the owners is required to transfer currency/digital assets. Non-fungible tokens is another. This can be used to — as an example — publish land deeds and property deeds online and make them easily transferred as opposed to the current systems which are not fool-proof and are not as user friendly (look at selling a house and how expensive it is for no good reason). Or what about decentralized finance? A user can literally borrow money against Bitcoin without the need of an authority which can discriminate against him for no good reason. How nice is it that we can now operate such systems that are robust to censorship.

But you will just dismiss all these ideas. Same way people dismissed all the ideas people were imagining when the internet is young.

If you want to broaden your mind— just detach the idea of blockchain from the price of Bitcoin. Yes, it’s insane to the point of being obscene.
> "The receptionist gave me a sheet and asked me to write down my complaint," she said. "I told her that I did not have any complaint, and she looked kind of irritated and then she insisted that I wrote down anything that I can think of."

I’m always surprised that people can’t rephrase their sentences when someone doesn’t understand. How hard is it to say “oh no, not that kind of complaint! I mean symptoms like coughing or sneezing or a headache”.

As to what is good English? Consistent pronunciation (that’s what Hansen teaches). Everything else is negotiable, but decoding an inconsistent accent is very difficult for anyone to understand. And it’s not specific to non-native speakers… plenty of native speakers don’t use consistent pronunciation and it’s sometimes difficult to decode what they’re saying.

Something similar has happened with the Thai government - seizing people from transiting flights to apply Thai lese-majeste laws to foreigners who were not expecting to end up in Thailand.
As anyone who was around to see the advent of “crypto TA” c. 2012 can attest, TA in the Bitcoin space started out as quantitative-themed narrative pumping, and it remains so to this very day. Crypto TA chartists self-promote and advertise coins in a furtive attempt to bolster speculation. They can then point to “trading volume” and speculation-fueled transactions to further boost perceptions of credibility — “$X zillion dollars were settled on this blockchain I’m invested in”.
> Their point is that Apple could charge based on bandwidth used, and that this could be more fair for some developers.

That is what the 30% cut is meant to cover (amongst other things too). Like with a high street retail store, the mark up is intended to cover the running costs of the store. Which brings us full circle to why Apple deduct it from transactions.

Sure you "could" have an App Store that calculates the operational costs and then charges it to the developer, but you then potentially destroy the free app market (and contrary to what people often say about the App Store, there are a lot of decent free apps on there).

Having a split payment and billing system also adds complexity to invoicing. Did you know that AWS and other cloud providers don't provide credits and refunds as payments into the customers bank accounts? No, what they do is they offset your costs against your credits and invoice the difference if owed to AWS. If Apple were to adopt that then we'd basically be back at deducting $n from transactions again. And once again we've come full circle.

There is so many arguments about what Apple "could" do but when you start to distil the requirements down to a workable operation you almost always end up right back at the status quo.

Now I'm not saying that Apple aren't taking advantage of developers either. The cost of development on a Apples ecosystem is ridiculously high and Apple are notoriously hostile towards their developers too. But charging a percentage of transactions is a reasonable approach to the problems outlined above and limiting transactions outside of Apple's payment channel does at least solve the problem of developers cheating by funnelling funds in via a side channel (as exampled in an earlier comment which discussed people selling items on eBay for $1 but with a $49 shipping fee before eBay clamped down on exaggerated shipping fees).

> because your app is using their "IP" in the form of all the libraries and tooling they nigh unto force you to use to build apps that run on their phone; like, to them, UIKit (I presume), Metal (which many people are only using because Apple refused to implement OpenGL or Vulcan), and (this is rich) apparently even Xcode

And say what you will about Xcode, but I’m literally building in Vapor 4 (server side Swift) with all of its warts because I experience trauma leaving Xcode. JetBrains and VSCode are painful to get to function like Xcode - but if there are any pointers to make it a better experience I’m al ears...

Edit: just to reiterate. Users want long battery life, fast compile times / snappy apps, better connectivity into life...

And honestly Apple has almost screwed itself executing perfectly on those demands in its native platform.

We forget at the end of the day we all (devs, manufacturers, etc) are working to bring value to a customer, who has other relationships with other suppliers. Those other relationships create multiple Pareto equilibriums based on the utility function of the customer... this case is trying to reweight (with more philosophical reason) how millions of customers have previously and consistently chosen to balance their decisions
If you're making a usability case between an Apple product, you have to use the comparable Amazon product: Kindle Fire. Amazon's eink readers are a completely different product class than anything from Apple. And on a Kindle fire the experience isn't dramatically different than any other android based system, and the kindle reader apps between Apple and Fires are nearly identical.

Comparing an eink interface to iOS is simply not at all appropriate. Eink technology does not optimize for interface speed. It is not part of its primary design goals.

Capital flows are massively rising without this centralized KYC/AML/CTF system of gatekeeping, tracking and surveillance:

https://money-movers.info/

The emerging surveillance system in the traditional finance system, with the creation of FinCEN in the US in 1990, and FinTRAC in Canada in 2000, is massively centralizing power and can exacerbate financial exclusion:

https://reddit.com/r/MakerDAO/comments/de0sys/kyc_is_absolut...

The existence of crime and terrorism does not justify warrantless mass-surveillance. People in a free society have a right to privacy, including in their financial transactions, even if that privacy may facilitate some criminal activity they may choose to engage in.

Absent a criminal conviction, or at least a court's ruling that there is probable cause, they should be presumed innocent and secure in their right to privacy, not presumed suspect, and obligated to disclose private data as a condition for being permitted to engage in interactions with other private citizens.

Beyond this consideration for basic human rights and the foundations of a free society, by some accounts, KYC is the most ineffective policy experiment in history:

The U.S. almost certainly does this, but the U.S. would be able to wield its dominance to achieve a far more covert operation.

The U.S. has grounded and delayed flights of foreign government officials numerous times. What makes you think the U.S. would consider a commercial flight off limits?

“On 20 September, Evo Morales announced a lawsuit against the U.S. government for "crimes against humanity" for repeatedly blocking presidential flights, after an incident in which authorization for an overflight of Puerto Rico by President Maduro of Venezuela was delayed, although U.S. authorities said that they were entitled to three days' advance notice. Maduro had been en route to arrive in Beijing for bilaterial talks with the People's Republic of China.[14]”

You really don't see the difference between telling a flight that it does not have permission to fly through a given airspace (but is otherwise free to do what it wants) and telling a flight it must land a certain airport under the false pretense of a "security threat"?

The Bolivian plane was not forced to land anywhere (it could have returned to Russia if it wanted), it simply wasn't given permission to overfly certain countries.

Your code is not an implementation, only a type theoretical description.

You have described the typological constraints the IO Monad conforms to, but you have not actually implemented any functions in it.

That is why some are of the position that it is merely a type system hack that fools the type system into thinking that it is pure as any other, whereas under the hood it requires coöperation from the optimizer with vacuous dependencies to ensure that all executions happen within the specified order.

The axiomatic functions of the IO Monad have to be provided as primitives by the compiler, they cannot be written as a purely library function, unlike, say `||` in Haskell which can actually be realized as a library function unlike in most languages where it must be a specially treated primitive.

I've actually done that all day long, at most it takes 3-4 seconds between code editing and the app / test running, I'd definitely not trade faster build times for something else in that case, especially when my IDE highlights errors when I type which greatly reduces the need for constant rebuilds.
That’s a fair point regarding comments on the actual design vs its presentation in prose.

My feedback regarding the design goals: As a working functional programmer, I find monads to be extremely helpful in many scenarios, I use them as much for validation, business logic, and parsers, as I do for IO. I also like how easily monads can be used to handle async with the same syntax as synchronous IO. Though I haven’t used Haxl yet, I find the idea of using applicative functors for free/automatic parallelism really interesting; I gather that a contributing factor for this being somewhat straightforward is because applicative is a superclass of monad. I also don’t believe monads are actually that complicated, just a scary name and many poor explanations floating around. All of this is to say I don’t find the design goals of eliminating monads very compelling.

Because they are broken. DNA "per se" is useless unless it can be read and used to build something useful. Mutated genes are like changing a paragraph from a book to a language that does not exist and can't be translated. Most of the times the result will not made any sense.

The whole "pay gap" hype is just raw stupidity from femnazists.

As a female electrical engineer, I make more than most all of my peers do. The key thing here, and my case is usually what applies to men and not women, is that I work significantly more hours. My average week is 50-65 hours, as where they all work 40-45 hours a week. I'm single, have no kids, and enjoy my job, so it's easy for me to clock in many extra hours. We're all paid the exact same hourly rate, there's no difference. We get the same yearly raises and the same pay rate so that there's no friction between workers about who gets paid more, however I make more because of the amount of overtime I put in.

The hype of the pay gap is largely due to the statistical fact that most women work less hours than men do. It's nothing to do with being paid less, it's that they (actively) earn less, by choice.
man even if you're not a believer in the utility of it all, simply participating in crypto right now is loads of fun. Its a weird space where finance and culture and tech and design come together. For every fraudster, there are 10 people who are genuinely excited about this space and have a true hacker spirit.

I haven't seen that kind of energy on the web in years - so much of it is cleaned up and coporatized. Crypto is still wild and interesting and fun.

You can even consider entering it purely as a hobby - that's how I did, and ended up talking to developers about, say, creating undercollateralized synthetic assets that hold peg to their real world assets by constricting/increasing asset supply at timed intervals.
