Why does this rise to an issue of regulation for you? All these problems with the Apple ecosystem are optional: Android exists, and is a viable alternative with none of the mentioned downsides.

The fact that 50% of Americans freely choose to entrench themselves in an ecosystem with draconian rules and high fees does not imply that creating or operating such as system should be illegal. Apple would argue that the fees are necessary to fund creation of the system in the first place.
There are many custom keyboard companies who will put anything you want on a keyboard. It shouldn't be a problem to get APL

I've had keyboards made by "WASD" with Yiddish keycaps (which are slightly different from Hebrew -- there's a double-vov, double-yud, kometz aleph -- here's an online version if you're curious https://keymanweb.com/#ydd-hebr,Keyboard_yiddish_pasekh ) Just upload your graphics and they'll make it.
Yes, I heard that (couldn't test it myself). The integration for Avangate for example was a proof-of-concept PHP file and a couple of docs explaining the CGI parameters. Not great but not that horrible either.

But were those so incredible that it made up for the missing features? I mean if it was me I wouldn't implement the sales tax myself in a million years, no matter how nice the experience and integration was...
You know, in retrospect maybe we should have let Saddam just do whatever the F* he wanted to do over there as long as he didn’t monopolize and drive up the price of oil all at once, but I don’t think the decision to drive him out was a bad one.

> With services in particular you indeed don't need one.

No, that's just not even remotely true. VMs, managed services all require updates that are pushed to the end user of the service. Downtimes happen, and dealing with those are pushed to the end user of the service by cloud providers far too often. I have countless support tickets at all levels of the cloud stack of back-and-forth on issues, many as simple as "how about serving 200s, not 500s?"

I wish managed services were a rainbows and unicorns world of "I give you cash, you give me magic computer thing that scales and never goes down" … but that just isn't the case today for many cloud services. (I think about the one service I'd be willing to pin such a medal on is S3. It comes remarkably close, but even there, I've had an incident where we had an outage due to S3 that took much back & forth with support to finally get an engineer on their side to look at it.)
U.S. Surgeon General Talks About Loneliness, Substance Abuse, and Covid-19
A grain cargo not properly stowed acts like a liquid in the holds due to the heeling motion of cargo shifting. Much like when you walk to your desk with a full mug of coffee. The cargo rapidly and unexpectedly shifts in the hold. Thats what brings the vessel down so quick. The issue of liquefaction is well known but what is sad is dry bulk trade is still the Wild West and something such as costs of hiring an outside Surveyer to sample the cargo prior to loading to see if cargo exceeds its total moisture limit - at which point cargo is more at risk-. will be a key point of negotiating (abt usd 5k ) it’s sad really. But think most owners would pay cost on their own acct, even if if the charterers don’t pay. unfortunately it’s all driven by market forces. The master has an insane amount of stress and due to that normally only work for 6 mo contracts before spending time on shore. They make decent wages, but true the typical ABle bodied seaman not making much, but what they make and the benefits they get from decent ship owners is a lot vs. what is back home. The worst thing is with COVID, crew could not get off the ships, with some being well past their contracts - like 15 mo. Because counties would not let them disembarke and customers would not allow in their contracts. Lots of green washing and nice “talk” but the Global supply chain has little room for worrying about the individual.
Could it not be a pattern? Either a geometric pattern or a sequence pattern, like Morse code...?

An image is the same image on a different screen; a code stays the same even if produced by different devices.

In the article it seems the word "pattern" is used not in the sense of an actual pattern, ie a shape or design, independent of what produces it, but to indicate a specific group of neurons.

For me (without knowing anything about it), I would think new sensory stimuli are encoded by "smart" neurons, and that gradually, as the stimuli is experienced again and again, less and less "smart" (or versatile, or performant) neurons are tasked with encoding it.

I'm not sure why you'd make that assumption. The newer models that can do more may very well have more/better sensors, faster processor(s), more RAM, etc. Just because the interior and exterior look the same doesn't mean that everything else is the same too.
The two problems I see are ZFS really wants a bit of a beefier machine, plus all the RAM you can throw at it. That pretty much excludes anything low end by default (not to mention more expensive ECC memory).

An interesting possibility would be for, once backing store is full, if any new page should go to swap, the LRU page on the backing store should be "forgotten" and freed; if a "forgotten" page was ever used again, such process would receive the SIGBUS signal.

That would keep the system running happily even if processes leak arbitrary amounts of memory.

Yeah, nonsense like a monthly fee to have my car perform a feature like that makes me want a car that comes with none of the self-driving tech necessities installed. Because I won't be using any of it.

Having said that, I don't see myself migrating to a "modern" car any time soon. They are full of touch screens that are a notoriously awful user experience (an outstretched human arm in a moving vehicle is NOT a good nor comfortable pointer device).

My current car is a Volkswagen from 2016. The last of its kind with knobs all over the place and the touch screen being entirely optional. It's an ICE car but comes with lane assist, adaptive cruise control, is fully automatic, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in about 6.5 seconds, has an amazing sound system, and takes me about 850 kilometers before needing to refuel.

In particular the ID.3 and such range of fully electric vehicles from Volkswagen are ridiculous. They are slow, have low range, are full of touch screens instead of tactile buttons, look like they are a design-by-boomer-committee result, and honestly they look like VW have been cutting corners everywhere to make the production costs as low as possible.

Autonomous driving is not going to be good for many years to come. I'll be very happy in my old-fashioned ICE car that I can refuel in 5 minutes flat, while the hip people are sitting in their E-cars recharging for 30 minutes to get home. If they can find a spot, that is.

Hot take: take a look at numpy.

Apparently it's either not a requirement or not so strongly enforced in the US and EU as it is in Japan, or that was my understanding from the conversation.

PPP loans are not 0%, they are insanely low though at 1% interest. Also they are not automatically forgiven, you have to complete paperwork, and even then it’s likely that 100% of the loan won’t be forgiven.
Last time I looked into this, it seemed to me like in the US you would need a separate license for each state you collect sales tax in (before collecting any tax)... and naturally, each state has a different licensing process, and some charge fees to register. For small independent projects, it seemed like kind of a nightmare.

There is psychological addiction and chemical addiction. Both suck, and you are likely better off gradually decreasing the activity/drug in both cases, but there is a real difference that in the latter case you must gradually decrease it, else you will have very severe side-effects, for example with alcohol it is called delirium tremens.
Low-code entrepreneurship: Shopify and the alternative path to growth
Maybe the stuff that seems over your head is just stuff I wrote poorly!
At my last job I worked for a large software company that offered a PaaS that ran on AWS/Azure public cloud or on-prem OpenShift/K8s.

The lowest price for the PaaS on AWS for $5k/year. The on-prem minimum was $1M/year and the customer had to setup their own infrastructure with a list of required software and minimum versions we provided. If the customer wanted us to meet the platform SLAs, they had to pay for a monitoring service and provide a remote connection (usually direct connection to our private VPN servers) to our ops team.

The $1M entry point for on-prem meant that only customers who really needed an on-prem solution for security reasons actually went for it. It also meant they had an experienced infrastructure team. Lots of customers would say "IT doesn't allow cloud" at first, then change their story when they saw the price difference.

Note that the $5K/AWS was the smallest package, and the $1M/on-prem was comparatively (compared to public cloud) an extra-large package. So it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, but I'm just trying to provide some information.

I realize none of the above answers you question, but it's just data to help you decide if this type of customer is worth it.
And their coworkers will be able to find nice complex isolated problems for them to solve.

BLS shows extreme inflation in energy prices and used car prices. Those things are not surprising and they certainly are going away once supply shocks in the semiconductor industry have been resolved. Oil didn't disappear from the face of earth either and it's known to be volatile all the time. If anything oil cartels love times like these and will pump more oil.
I was confused by your edit which says "annualized == YOY" which isn't generally true, just specifically for May 2021.
Rust doesn't assume an allocator. The Rust standard library (to have things like growable strings) requires an allocator but the language and its core do not.

And Rust doesn't assume threading either. The default stuff isn't even thread safe, it's just that in Rust when you introduce threading and still try to use stuff that isn't thread safe the compiler will tell you that can't work.

You can deliberately write stuff that won't do what you meant of course, but they're trying to make it harder to do that by accident. I have a set of Rust types which defy logical behaviour (for example type whose members always compare as equal yet hash differently) and as intended if you use those in otherwise safe code your program might not work but it doesn't cause random craziness. For example maybe your attempt to binary search an ordered list of my data types that claim they form a total order and yet always reply "I'm smaller" when asked how they compare to anything, even themselves - will become an infinite loop, but it won't suddenly execute environment variables as code or anything like that whereas in C all bets are off.
He already cashed out, he sold to Google. And over the years Google has ramped up the pressure for DeepMind to deliver financial returns. (I recall when Google tried to stick DeepMind's branding on GCP, Watson-style, so it would sell better, and at the time, DeepMind was able to decline.)

Eventually Google will give them the option to deliver financial success or be shut down.

I guess the problem are not managers per se, but non-technical managers. Somehow it is OK to have a pure salesperson / MBA manage engineers, but you would never put a developer in charge of the sales department.

I think many developers (not just coders, but in general technical people who make the actual product, designers, engineers, ...) feel there is an unfair primacy of managers / business people over developers / technical people. This is even reflected in the job descriptions: I hate the term "individual contributor" for example, it implies replacability and that non-ICs (managers) contribute more than one person.

Not every company has "bullshit" managers and for sure some developers are delusional. But these bullshit managers exist, and I believe this happens when you put people who are far away from making the product in charge. If the managers and executives are not intimately familiar with the product and the customers, then the product becomes some interchangable thing that you hustle. This can be disastrous for the work climate but also for the success of the company.

Systems design interview guide by Usman Masood, Tilek Mamutov
It's interesting how many programming languages seem to have "accessible to those not trained in it" as a design goal (offhand I can think of SQL and COBOL, but also BASIC and you see it even in Python, etc).

But there are trade-offs doing that, and "amount you can look at at once" is a huge one.
The point is not _what_ you can achieve, but _how_. You can achieve almost anything in any language, but I bet you can’t implement Game of Life in 20 characters of Python!

It kinda is, actually, when that "criticism" is a conspiracy theory. Scientists of all types get frustrated when dealing with the goalpost-moving, cherry-picking, gobbledygook-spewing style of attack.

Headline is actually really badly quote parsing (as evidenced by the weird, ungrammatical fragment they extracted). The full quote is actually quite correct: all of this is coming from a place not of serious, thoughtful criticism, but from a generalized long-term attack on scientific principles that we've seen applied to many other areas.

It's not at all unusual for a scientist to respond exactly that way. What is unusual is for a public figure to do so. Fauci's job includes dealing with that bullcrap, because that job is more about communicating to the public than it is about actually choosing science policy. That's why he was on a chat show in the first place.

So as understandable as it is, he was kinda failing at that moment. Not as a scientist, but as the public face of science, which unfortunately is required to pretend that it's not aggravated by that kind of stupidity.

So it is. I did a cursory search, but didn't come across that law. I edited my comment to reflect this.
> do you have an example where this works?

Yes. On my laptop, Linux is extremely stable, and yet extremely hackable. What, Linux doesn't work for you flawlessly? 99% chance it's drivers, which has nothing to do with stability and everything to do with the limited amount of effort that people have poured into drivers on that particular platform.

> being hackable means exactly the opposite of stability

False. "Stability" implicitly means "without modifications". There's no product or (human-made) system in existence that remains stable once you start making arbitrary modifications to it.

> if there is a chance to do it, people can be tricked to do it

Yes, and "freedom" (which is a core tenet of the United States Constitution, where most HN commenters are based) includes the ability to do things that will hurt yourself. "We know what's better for you than you do" leads to tyranny the majority of the time (as it does here, where Apple has full control of their devices and regularly makes decisions that hurt their users).

Moreover, it's relatively easy to design a system that prevents the vast majority of users from shooting themselves in the foot (by making root(-adjacent) access difficult to acquire by accident and fairly difficult to be tricked into doing), and coupled with actual education would keep the levels of this particular kind of computer fraud (where someone convinces you to bypass your computer's security features) well below the rates of other computer fraud (such as falling prey to scam emails).

IBM Tells U.S. Employees to Return to Office in September
Sorry, but at this scale of systems and how often you're replacing hosts, it's absolutely critical that you always have a deployable. That's not provably true in the Python ecosystem (unless you're insane and vendoring all of your dependencies separately for every single application you deploy).

At the end of the day what you need is a statically linked binary. There are tools like cx_freeze and Nuitka that try and get you there but ultimately aren't worth the effort and give you other problems to solve as well. Or you could use cython, but again, more problems. You're simply better off using a language that reduces your (business) risks from the onset.

I'm sorry that that makes you feel bad, but that's facts and anyone working at this scale will tell you so. We pretty much only deal with Python where we have to (in the ML space). If a company is really stubborn about it though it's often better to just not take those jobs.
Can you elaborate more about that sentence? With example, perhaps?
