If they were saying you'd need more disk space or a faster CPU, I'm sure people would be more understanding. But the new restrictions feel very "artificial" - there doesn't seem to be an obvious need for them to not support old (but relatively recent) CPUs any longer, and I cannot fathom why having a TPM should be a hard requirement.
That's what I was thinking. This is a stupid article.
Even in 100 year old brick houses (like the 1920s craftsman I once owned), the brick is almost always non-structural. Only in old urban commercial buildings do you typically find structural bricks.
Agreed, Sign In with Apple is a fantastic feature from a user point of view and I also think twice about signing up for an app which does not support it

But when you start having loops, conditions, arrays, nullable references etc. you can't be so confident any more unlike with proper type checking where you can be fully confident.
This isn't cleverly anti-Apple, it's just petty. I have plenty a gripe against some things Apple does, but the piece here makes a net zero good points.
Because dev experience isn't what my post was about. I don't agree with some of the ways Apple treats developers, but I mostly agree with how they treat users and I genuinely like (MacBook) or at least understand and respect (iPhone) their products.
I would blame more the cold messed up soviet-era society for this. Artists produce their best works during suffering, not when having the best time of their life. And there was/is plenty of suffering for non-conformists in Soviet Union/Russia.
So you don't think that a country that allows many of it's citizens to constantly die in brutal infrastructure accidents would start a propaganda campaign stating that they're most patriotic are not patriotic enough?
Never forget how MS decided to prop up their WP app store numbers by running classes that ended up in the projects being submitted (and approved) to the store.

The amount of utter shit in the WP store was astounding. It was like if every single 0 star GitHub project had been submitted to a store for everyone to download.
I think they're planning to get the best of both worlds and capture a POV of the rescue.
It is good when talking about the problems on one side not to completely leave out the problems at the other side.

Here are some:

> Until the Arab armies invaded Israel on the very day of its birth, May 15, 1948, no quarter whatsoever had ever been given to a Jew who fell into Arab hands. Wounded and dead alike were mutilated. Every member of the Jewish community was regarded as an enemy to be mercilessly destroyed....

> [T]he Arab population of Palestine anticipated nothing less than massacres in retaliation if the Jews were victorious. Measuring the Jewish reaction by their own standards, they simply could not imagine that the Jews would not reply in kind what they had suffered at Arab hands. And this fear played a significant role in the Arab flight.[112]

I got it from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_the_1948_Palestini...

It is also worth mentioning that despite what David Ben-Gurion meant, Israels Proclamation of Independence, issued on May 14, 1948, invited the Palestinians to remain in their homes and become equal citizens in the new state.

It might also be worth mentioning that Israel even offered Arabs to return or to buy them out since.

It might also be worth mentioning that while Israeli citizens massacred (some nasty examples exist) this was not encouraged, and perpetrators could be threatened with harsh punishments instead of celebrations like on the other side.

The story goes on.

Israel is not blameless, but the way you present it it is evil powerful Israel relentlessly attacking poor Arabs.

I enjoy (for the lack of a better word, I find it disgusting to read about) learning more including were Israel was wrong, but at the same time, wherever I look it is obvious that while the things you say are correct, you systematically leave out the other side.

(And now that I think of it I might be guilty of the same, even if it is to a lesser degree.)
In Europe, it's horribly crippled by its non-standard DC charge connector : it's using Chademo, a Japanese standard, while absolutely all other EVs (and charging stations) including the Tesla 3 use combo CCS.

Did you get back to law school and pass the bar after pivoting from a CS career (and a CS diploma) ?
The trouble in law is to get qualified (in the UK). If you can't finish the 5 years of study or you can't find an internship at the end (extremely competitive), you've wasted your entire time and money and you will never be able to give legal advice and charge £500 an hour.

But after that it's a walk in the park.

The competitiveness of lawyer and developer jobs is really not comparable. All companies have a legal department and hire lawyers, internal lawyer is a good office job with a decent pay but nothing extraordinary.

There's no comparable career path for developers because only tech companies hire developers, the comparison is unemployment if you couldn't make it to a tech company.
I was just thinking about the Democratic party that left me behind with no one to vote for because they turned so violently left that no one thinks anything else is the right path. It's an ideology that the world can be a perfect place without murder or crime and that's not obtainable at all.
With the same argument, why put C++ into the same bracket? It has much much more type safety than C.
Yes I mean that companies may hire someone with data science skills but no security specific work experience.

In fact the job you posted says this:

"Passion to the cybersecurity is mandatory, though no previous experience or knowledge is required"
But none of those things you mentioned are dependent on a dynamic type system: on the contrary, plenty of statically-typed languages offer late-binding, expressions (certainly enough to implement a REPL) - I know C# certainly has all of those things.

The last thing: being able to edit program code, add new types/members/functionality and so-on while it's running... that's not really a language limitation nor typing-system limitation either: that's just good tooling that is able to hot-swap executable code after the process has already started. Visual Studio has had "Edit & Continue" in debugging sessions for almost 3 decades now, and the runtime build system used by ASP.NET means that source code and raw aspx/cshtml views can still be FTP'd up to production and just work, because .NET supports runtime compilation.

------------

For ordinary business software, where the software's focus is on data-modelling and data-transforming-processes, so all these programs basically just pass giant aggregates of business data around, so strong-typing is essential to ensure we don't lose any properties/fields/values as these aggregate objects travel through the software-proper. In this situation there is absolutely no "expressiveness" that's could be gained by simply giving up on type-correctness and instead rely on unit tests (and hope you have 100% test coverage).

I just discovered that we both may have been wrong.

Looks like you can skip the AfC review process entirely and this is given the go-ahead by Wikipedia (it's not frowned upon).

Basically, you have to create a Draft-namespace article (for example, Draft:Rust).

Then, once you have auto confirmed privileges (10 edits and 4 days account age), you can move the page namespace from the Draft namespace to the (Article) namespace...

... and that should create the article. Hmm.

Protest is an important form of participation in a democracy, it's not petty at all. Forcing developers to add Apple ID as a sign-in method is the petty thing. The developers have no power unless they unionize in some form which seems absolutely impossible. So it seems to me that it's all a developer can really do to make a statement and I think it's brave.

Similar to how in-app purchase/subscription fees of 30% just _does not work_ for certain kinds of business with certain kinds of margin, Sign in with Apple has limitations far beyond other social sign-in systems that mean it is a complete non-starter for certain businesses.

Like us. We have Facebook sign in (appropriate for our market), but couldn't integrate Sign in with Apple because the email private relay limits how you can send email to it so much, and we use the email address as a fraud signal for some payment providers.

It comes down to the fact that we share email addresses and Apple have stopped that from working. They see it as stopping advertising and spam, but in our case they're preventing certain payment options, delivery notifications, refund notifications, all the sorts of emails that users tell us again and again are very important to them. We're not sharing emails without consent, we're doing it where users know what's being shared and why, and want these features.

Edit: I wrote up a bunch of these issues at the time it was launched: https://danpalmer.me/2019-07-02-on-signing-in-with-apple/
I agree with you, except for the nitpick. Unfortunately due to formal verification not scaling, dependent types will likely not be the solution :/

Does the user have any control of the operating system on an iPad? Why should Windows hardware be any different? You are making a contradictory argument.

What has happened is that the computer has changed, it is no longer the big old tower but mobile phones, tablets and laptops. And the laptop and tablet space is already merging as laptops that has a touch display or a tablet with a keyboard.

Where the tower could be upgraded part by part including the operating system, the new type of computer doesn’t. The consumer usually buys a new one within a few years. This is where Windows 11 fits in.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you rent your computer in the future, you already have phones, which is a computer, with carrier subscription. This will of course also reduce user control even more. Combined that with the cloud computing and your computer is more of a client on a corporate controlled network.

The PC, Personal Computer, is dead.
Meh, I think that's an equally overly simplistic view.

Capitalism earns its accolades as well as its criticism because it's fans want it to be this pure embodiment of helping people. But it's obviously responsible for just some of the things that help people. I think its pretty fucked up for example that full neighbourhoods of multi-millionaires if not billionaires exist in my city, while a huge portion of the people working in the jobs virtuously bestowed upon us by them can't simultaneously afford rent and savings or dental work. The dentist comes out fine, but unless you're very well covered by rare dental plans, you might lose all your annual savings with one tooth problem.

I don't think your tone is warranted and in the spirit of this community.

I don't agree with GP's fear of Apple SSO vanishing without a transition period to something else, but the general premise that this form of login is not eternal but rather short lived in the grand scheme of things is reasonable and doesn't warrant your aggressiveness.

Also you might get locked out of your Apple account for a number of reasons and will then lose access to much more than just Apple services.
So true. I am working with a system currently with tons of "moving parts", once it's up it's neat, but there's always at least 3 things broken every time I install it. The person who created it is the de facto expert, and everyone else just relies on them to fix it or extend the more tricky bits.

It does leave one wonderful if the niftiness is worth the pain, or if there is a way of getting the good bits without the complexity.
Where I live, they aren't that rare. People like the fact that they can be built fast.
Hmm. I have never seen such a feature. You mean most modern phones, do you? I wouldn't buy a phone which is not in this[1] list and most of them are old. My actual phone is about 8 years old (and each year makes me more proud :-)) and I still am totally satisfied (except with its GPS function - it's rather slow to find the satellites, but I don't need it often).

Nevertheless, this is interesting to know. I actually wondered how are people supposed to avoid killing their batteries as slow chargers are disappearing from shops. Which seems a serious problem today as most of the modern phones don't even let you change the battery without going to an authorized service shop.

> So your argument is...

Well, I made no such argument, the GGP did, and I'll quote:

> Look at the numbers. SpaceX is doing it’s thing for a few billion a year. That’s chump change compared to the money being spent on, let’s say professional basketball.

... but I think if the poster wants to make the argument about relative costs they should at least make a fair assessment.

> First of all, just because the trend is exponential now doesn't mean it always will be. That's silly.

Silly why? Silly as the amount of processors that are sold every year?[0] How would a 'wealth creating' technology reaching economies of scale with a variety of use-cases not continue to grow? It is possible there's some sort of saturation point... but I can only see space industry as something that will spur it's own demand by creating industries that never existed before.

> Second of all, the number of launches may be increasing at that rate because the launches have been made exponentially cheaper - why don't we look at % of GDP being put into space flight? I bet it would be flat or trending down.

And I was wondering if someone would make this argument, because it is flawed. Even if costs do 'reduce exponentially' they are reducing towards a lower limit, not to zero. At some point the cost reductions per year will start to become insignificant, much in the same way that regular flight isn't becoming exponentially more economical every year. So after the low-hanging fruit has been tackled (e.g., rocket re-use, mass production), the number of launches will correlate pretty well with costs, especially now that a whole bunch of use cases now become profitable.
Apple forced Groups to choose between having AppleID, or losing Sign in with Google/FB. That would have been equally bad for existing users who had chosen Google/FB before Apple ID was even a thing. Perhaps Groups would have happily adopted Apple ID if it hadn't been forced on it

At the end of the day Groups is a passion project. So it can be used to contribute to a world where developers aren't taken for granted

Apple ID was buggy as hell when it first came out.

Apple users will have to understand that Apple's policies can have an impact in what they get from developers. Apple only cares about $ and PR, wish it weren't this way
Sign In with Apple allows you to share your email so you are incorrect. If I decide to hide my email and be locked out - my choice. Developers and companies are greedy for data. Why do we have the expectation that emails should be shared? I constantly say don’t send me marketing and some services send. On my part I report them as spam every time so that algos start blocking them as they are breaking our contract and are malicious.

For every service I’ve built allow the user to create an account with email, Google, Microsoft, Apple, Twitter, Facebook and to later untie their account and move to email. Also if they ever get locked out from their oauth account they can use the email to create a password and login via the normal way.

I hate In Our Time.

Bragg hosts these prominent topic experts, then spends more time enjoying the sound of his own voice than letting us listen to the experts. He interrupts them. He patronises them. He tells them all about their own specialist topic.

I mean, he usually isn't wrong; the programme has a team of researchers, and he's well-briefed. But he's not the expert - that'll be his guests. I would prefer it if he showed a bit of humility.
>Without it the same type checks still have to be done, but this time by humans.

Nah, they don't have to be done. Most programmers using dynamic languages just don't think about types until they need to be thought. That implies there's more resources/energy available to think about the actual problem, which often has almost nothing to do with types. Then if you're using something like Common Lisp/SBCL, you can define the types afterwards where they are most critical.

Doing all this well in a dynamic language requires more discipline obviously, since you cannot even release software in a stricter static language if it fails to pass the type checking phase. But it is faster, sometimes significantly faster. Sometimes it may even happen that the coder could not have finished the task in a stricter language, which would imply that the the dynamic language was infinitely faster.
Money isn't everything, there's a status component related to those professions (especially if you are coming from poorer background) and a lot of people like the idea of being a doctor or a lawyer.

of course you can make the hardline FOSS argument but compared to say, the phone OS market Windows is actually remarkably open, in particular given how dominant it is and especially was.

Imagine if Windows had charged every developer who ever built anything on windows 30% of their revenue. They got almost bludgeoned to death for shipping a default browser 20 years ago.

Windows deserves a lot of criticism but we take it for granted that a monopolist basically just sold an operating system and let everyone run and build whatever they wanted on top of it, we could've been fucked way worse.
