Agreed. I don't mind the new layout but it is still amazing that after years of this new layout that at least once a week I go to reddit and it can't load comments. I'm not a developer so maybe there is a valid reason but as a user it just seems ridiculous that the site can't do its main function reliably.

It also doesn't imho make for a more equal society. The worse an economy is the more the rich seem to profit from it compared to the rest of society. Zero sum games I feel favor those with established power bases much more so than those without them.
Any idea on how to adjust the minimum steps? I can't figure out how to change it in firefox running on PureOS/Gnome Wayland. Also two finger swipe for back or forward doesn't work very well using the firefox extension SwipeToNavigate.
I found this:

"We took our own iron. It's not battery powered so it doesn't iron that well, but the quality of the ironing is not the point - it's where you do it."[1]

So it sounds like they just run a not-plugged-in regular iron over some fabric and call it ironing?

My understanding is basically that DRM is the technology that permits the existence of Netflix and similar. Perhaps I just lack a strength of principle, but I don't see why you'd remove one of the most-enjoyed aspects of the internet for the sake of uh... some kind of privacy-adjacent something?
It's a schema specification with various plugins. I guess it will mainly be about the geo specification for models (and perhaps ignore the shaders etc). Documentation is hard to come by, you basically have to look at the source / examples.
WSL1 -> WSL2 wasn't only about filesystem performance. It looks like the Fuschia people are going to relearn those lessons the hard way. Namely, that it is much less work to make a real Linux kernel work well as a virtual guest than to reimplement compatible Linux kernel semantics in a host-OS-specific compatibility layer, and the former has better performance too. Also a lot of the work for the former is shared with other vendors whereas for the latter you're on your own.
Almost! I can't quite replicate these tests because it doesn't give the type (integer or float, and width) of the database columns. There are many possibilities[0] so I tested a few. Fortunately the testing CPU (Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 @ 2.20 GHz) is comparable to mine (Intel Core i5-6200U CPU @ 2.30GHz). Turbo (one-core speed) is 3.00 GHz versus 2.80 GHz with advantage to the Xeon, but my laptop CPU is a year newer and on a smaller process so could have better IPC. Both have AVX2, and the server CPU has a much better cache, but I don't think Dyalog is bandwidth limited.

I adapted the vectorized Dőtsch solution, which gave the fastest times and is easy to write, to Dyalog APL. Pre-release 18.0 from when I worked there because I can't be bothered to do a real install, but I doubt the arithmetic code's been changed since 17.1. Here are results from a Dyalog session giving times in seconds for 8-byte floats, 4-byte integers, and 1-byte integers. From the article, Q takes 13E¯3 seconds.

)copy dfns cmpx
(sA sB pA pB)←?{1e6⍴ 0}¨⍳4 ⋄ cmpx '(sA×pA≥pB) + sB×pA≤pB'
9.3E¯3
(sA sB pA pB)←?{1e6⍴1e9}¨⍳4 ⋄ cmpx '(sA×pA≥pB) + sB×pA≤pB'
4.6E¯3
(sA sB pA pB)←?{1e6⍴120}¨⍳4 ⋄ cmpx '(sA×pA≥pB) + sB×pA≤pB'
1.3E¯3

If the table consists of floats then Dyalog appears substantially faster, although this could plausibly be due to better IPC on my CPU. It could also be a real increase. Dyalog uses bit booleans for the comparison results which allows it to make smaller reads and writes, and code for packing results to bit booleans and multiplying floats by booleans does have to be written with vector intrinsics ([1] indicates Q doesn't pack booleans). If the benchmark uses 8-byte ints then they should be comparable to floats, and if it's using smaller ints then Dyalog is clearly much better.

Will see if I can get numpy benchmarks running.

Arthur von Pelt, another obsessed anti Craig personality….

Arthur wakes up and goes to bed thinking about Craig…..

It’s almost like Arthur is giving Craig the benefit of the doubt

Not that long ago, Arthur was put in place by Renowned Cryptographer Iain Grigg when Arthur asked the question if Craig ever actually stated anything about Bitcoin that wasn’t already known.

Iain then had to educate Arthur about how Craig indeed explained things about Bitcoin that even Iain didn’t know at the time.

Things like the double hash for instance, funnily enough after Craig explained the double hash it was subsequently altered in the BTC wiki.

Yes ladies and gentleman this is the kind of folks we are dealing with here….
How exactly is it more difficult to write secure and quality software in PHP compared to other languages?
All the answers I’m getting are actually confirming my theory.

For vanilla code I get it. Vanilla Java I can totally understand where things came from and why. It’s the libraries that get me. How am I supposed to know that the library expects X? Is a very common question I have.

I understand it at the end but that’s because someone’s given me the answer. But I couldn’t derive that by deduction if I wanted to because I didn’t even know that was a thing.

And all the guys giving the tutorials seem to be running off their memory but they don’t tell you how they figured it out
It more like if airbnb could somehow prevent competitors (say oxigenbnb) from reaching the internet.
It's effectively what you had in the Freeware for personal use only and Shareware (supposed to pay after a trial period) worlds. In practice, it was mostly companies that paid. When I had a small shareware business about half my revenues came from site licensing and the rest were split between individuals and companies.

The software wasn't open source but, as a practical matter, for solo developer projects it worked pretty much the same way.
I think we can all agree that transfer pricing and the Double Irish Dutch sandwich were not intended to be used in the way they have been by modern multinationals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wave_(Arizona) has a rationing system.

> Due to the fragile nature of the formation and the large number of people wishing to visit it, a daily lottery system is used to dispense only ten next-day permits in person at the Kanab visitor center. Additionally, ten online permits for each date are available four months in advance of a planned trip.

There will be a perpetual shortage.

This is not a bad thing ... unless you don't care about preserving things for the future.

Do you still think rationing is bad? Or is my example not a case of rationing?

Bavaria is majority Catholic. "Demonstrate financial need" is likely a much stronger selection mechanism.

I’m not sure I agree. In order to distribute my Electron app to Mac users via a direct download from my website, I must pay Apple $99. Otherwise Apple will present my users with a scare dialogue that gives the impression the software can’t be run.
Yeah - I was aware of the "heap" as in "stack vs heap". Though I could not explain, without looking it up, what the difference is between values being put on the stack or the heap.

Now, of course, after reading about it in the linked article, I looked it up and now I have an understanding of it.

But I wonder how much this will be taken into account during an interview. I could, from the technology I'm working with, explain what the pitfalls of an async/await-pattern are, or what the difference between the logical and the visual tree in WPF is.

I wonder if you loose some knowledge on the way while working in a certain domain for a long time, and if that's a bad thing per se.
Thank you, I did err in how I described the GPL. I have edited my post to correct this.

> FWIW the link to the GPL reads as quite tenuous

The link is that any developer—whether they're Linus Torvalds or Apple Inc—should be allowed to choose the terms in which they release their copyrightable works into the public.

• One developer could choose the GPL.

• Another developer could choose a license which requires a flat, one-off fee.

• Yet another developer could chose a license that is free up front but mandates a revenue share under certain conditions, such as Epic Games does with Unreal Engine.

In all instances, it is copyright law which enforces these license terms. So if you like the fact that Linus can distribute Linux under the GPL, you must also accept that some other company will have the right to distribute their software under their license.
No matter how big the economy gets not everyone can have the best real estate. There will be always be locations that are preferable to others and no amount of growth will change this.

Yeah I'm definitely currently in group 1, I'm working towards 2 regarding robotics/vision but I also am aware that I am not good at math even if I try. At the very least I can take part in group 2 as a hobby.

I also wonder to what extent can you consider yourself good/bad regarding resourcefulness/desire/aptitude to learn. If you took a developer and had them learn Post/ghostscript while having not worked with printers before, how quickly should they be able to learn it? That's a thing I'm dealing with now, it's not as easy as just pulling a popular library from GitHub and plugging it in.
Oh, interesting – perhaps he's been hired since that? This article had this line:

The GNU GPL and similar copy-left licenses are freedom-preserving.

They ensure that software licensed under the GPL (or similar license) grants users the four fundamental freedoms (https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html.en) and that those freedoms cannot be taken away by copies, forks, or derivative works.

If you want your software completely unrestricted, then the GPL is not what you want, but don't be surprised if someone creates a proprietary work using the completely unrestricted software.

The choice is yours.

My line could have been misinterpreted, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to interpret yours, so I'll explicit it just in case, because my previous post can be understood both ways:

No, I don't feel entitled to Google's work, the quote was sarcasm.

My point of showing my contributions is that I can do stuff on my own, that I'm happy that Android is opensource, and I do my best to contribute to it, in the opensource spirit. But if it stops being opensource, then so be it (it'd be a bigger shot in the foot for Google than for me anyway), I'm not simply leeching on Google's back, like previous comments assumed.
GNOME’s equivalent of Preview.app would be evince, which is strictly inferior to Preview, but for one singular feature: the hand tool.

In fact, GNOME is in fact my daily driver and I keep a Windows VM tucked away in case I ever need to manipulate a PDF. And even that is worse than Preview.
> Devs will have to support multiple platforms, different API and options. Also different legal arrangements would be needed as each country has different laws and processes. Remember the agreements and forms we fill for different countries when we want to sell paid apps/features on App Store? I also can't wait to pay account fees for many app stores and modify my apps to fit specific app store rules.

The ruling force platforms to allow developers to use different payment processors. It doesn't force developers to use these processors.

Digital payments predate app stores by a decade. It's mostly a solved issue.

> As for the users, people will start forgetting where they paid what.

It's just a charge on your bank account in the end. I'm not sure the where is really significant.

> I think the regulators should intervene for market fairness

You must be happy then because that's exactly what they are doing.
Yeah its funny how experiences differ.

I was at my parents,and wanted to sketch out something for my dad. So I grabbed my mom's win10 laptop, went to the blender download location, downloaded, double clicked, got a popup about updates. Whatever, not my computer, not my problem. double click again. Again with the popup. Read it carefully this time. WTF? I NEED to update their store to install a third party package?

Not my computer, not my mandate.

It looked like I could install the stores' version, but of course, its not up to date. Then some more bullshit about updating.

I shut it down and went for paper and pencil.

Yeah. I know. You don't want to SUDO this or SUDO that. But I want a operating system that does what I tell it to do.

I am amazed at how non-techy people use the internet. I teach college and I will sometimes have students go to some web site. I am amazed at how few use adblocking and just accept all the ads and popups and overlays and crap. Even more than that, I will see them using something like google docs and google will put an overlay for some new feature and they don't click the X to close it. They just type away with that overlay in the corner. That drives me crazy. I don't know how they do it.
> exclusion based on income

Exclusion based on price.
You can use adblockers on ios aswell, I use adguard. It works for youtube ads which is nice.
Does it merely prevent monopoly on the payment or does Apple still have full discretion on who is allowed to make an app available to your smartphone?

Very interestingly, most comments seem to focus on trying to propose you a "magic" product. The problem you are trying to solve is not a technology but a human issue: most organizations don't have the resources anymore to handle the technical complexity required to operate an integrated collaboration platform that is fully interoperable both within the organization and outside.

The shortest answer is that Microsoft solved this problem by hiring lots of people and making it possible (Google, too, but that keeps you with the same compliance issue).

The first problem EU States need to solve is human resources. Then they will be able to discuss possible solutions.

Starting the discussion on how to replace Microsoft by looking for products is basically running into a 100% failure trajectory.

My 2 cents.
It looks like your example [1] was actually rather clear cut based on the actual use of the work and case law quoted in the court decision.

I think in most cases it is actually clear what "non-commercial use" looks like.

I’ve been following concussions in sports for while as part of a company I’m launching soon (https://ocula.ai) - it’s seriously scary stuff now that longer term, validated studies are beginning to be published - it’s worth noting NFL powered through its allocated funds for concussion payouts of $0.5B almost a decade ahead of schedule (https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/amp.abc.net.au/article/10056...) and there’s many more on the way…
For some reason I read it as extreme ignoring and now wonder what that sport would look like

I'm wondering how this will eventually play out if most companies start requiring Apple/Google to allow third-party apps to use their own payment system.

The commission fee that Apple charges, 30% is partially to cover operating/marketing etc. Obviously, Apple makes a good profit off the App Store these days, even though Jobs said he'd be happy if it was break even at best.

Here's an analogy I've been thinking on about this whole thing. The iPhone (or whatever phone you want) is the equivalent of a Walmart store. If you want your product to be sold in Walmart, you have to send it to their distribution center (ie App Store) and Walmart will handle sending that product out, etc. Walmart will handle the credit card transactions, etc and pay you the negotiated rate for your product (Yes, odds are Walmart buys your product first, then sells it, but with credit lines, etc it's almost the same thing).

Does Walmart allow you to go in, put your product in the store and sit there with a square device and sell your stuff? Amazon is more analogous of physical to app in the sense that Amazon is the transaction point but may or may not actually maintain control of the product.

So what's the end game? I suspect if Apple/Google has to allow developers to collect their own fees, Apple will start charging paid apps to be in the App store.

They will continue to allow free apps to be shown, but if you want to charge for your App either one time or subscription, you'll have to pay an upfront fee to be listed.

And that charge may depend on the number of downloads.
