But besides the money collection there are also the tax exemptions right? It looks lovely...

"The foundation deed specified that the housing complex was to exist “in perpetuity” and to be “further developed.” The philosophy behind it can be summarized as being to “provide assistance, not charity, to people in need so they can help themselves.” There are a total of nine foundations established by the Fugger family in Augsburg that have been in continuous existence since the 16th century. In addition to the Fuggerei, there are medical facilities, an infirmary, and a foundation to contribute to the salvation of the Fugger family, among others. According to an inscription on a tablet displayed at the Fuggerei, the Fugger family established the foundation to “reimburse God the money that he has generously bestowed upon the family.”

"Paupers or beggars are not eligible. A person that has been accepted for residence is required to say three daily prayers for the Fugger family"

I really don’t think how much ownership is the real question now.

1. The judge disclosed it. Presumably he wasn’t doing anything sneaky because he is the one raising the issue.

2. Any ownership required the Judge to recluse himself. Thus (3)

3. (The real takeaway) The verdict of the case between Nokia and Apple is on much less strong legal grounds now. This is the real point.
I'd absolutely agree that there is likely a genetic component underlying propensity for religious belief. But "atheist" is not synonymous with "liberal," I suppose that's the crux of what I'm saying.
> I don't think it's stranger than having a video tag even though we could embed video without it previously. Having a dedicated 3D tag would make websites more semantic.

Video had literally thousands of commonly used sites embed third party players before we got a standard.

> A while ago I wanted to share some 3D models with people, but there weren't any good options.

So in contrast to video no one gives a shit?

> If 3D models had better browser support I hope there would emerge some sites that would let you upload and share them as easy as regular images now.

We have APIs to render 3D content (WebGL) have APIs to load random files from a site what more do you need for obj files?

> I don't agree with the tag name though. IMO, "model" is a singular 3D object. Such a tag should support scenes with multiple objects in them.

And what format will you use to describe these Scenes? obj doesn't handle animations or complex structures. What you want isn't a browser but a complete game engine.
Actually that sounds more like the case if the judge was a long time apple product user. I don’t stand to financially benefit in any way if fruit of the loom stock goes through the roof today.
Ask HN: MacBook Pro 16“ battery is trash and doesnt last – any solutions?
Hi all

Have tried the below to get macbook pro 16" battery to last longer than 3 hours.

For a laptop that is supposed to last 9-11 hours this is way off the mark.

List of things that I tried and that failed:

1. Turbo Boost Switcher app - turns off CPU turboboost
2. Closing onedrive and google drive apps
3. gfxcardstatus app - shows you if you using discrete or integrated GPU (integrated better for battery)
4. Use without external monitor
5. Close all inactive apps
6. Only browse with Safari
7. System Settings>Energy Saver I checked the box "Automatic Graphics switching"
8. System Settings>Bluetooth>Advanced>Uncheck "Allow Bluetooth devices wake this computer"
9. System Settings>Notifications>Turn on Do Not Disturb>When Display is sleeping/When Screen is locked.
10. Reset SMC
11. Reset NVRAM / PRAM
12. Use activity monitor to check battery usage (nothing jumps out at me, and no processes are draining batteries)

Does anyone have anything that actually works?

This is a very common issue all over the internet

Thanks.... I can't go to the Apple Store in my country there isn't one.
> Almost on the dot two years since those rewrites happened and nothing (to my knowledge) has broken. On the contrary, looking at code examples and best practices from 2011 look exactly the same. Writing Swift, anything older than 2019 made me sweat.

Currently working on a Java codebase that has been around for ~8 years, previously developed with JDK7, now migrated over to JDK8 where it's probably going to stick for the foreseeable future.

I think that there's a lot to be said about the orders of magnitude that people think of when talking about the longevity of the code:

- someone may believe that code running with almost no changes for 2 years is good enough, which may indicate relatively stable libraries/frameworks or approaches like deprecating functionality without explicitly removing it
- someone else may believe that code running with few changes for 10 years is good enough, which probably also indicates stability of the underlying platform as a whole (for example, JDK8 still receives updates and has been around for 2014 and will be maintained until 2026 or 2030 depending on the distribution) at the expense of slower pace of change
- someone else might expect their code to work as good in 40 years as it does now, perhaps statically compiled code in very particular domains (e.g. code that typically has few dependencies and runs on hardware directly), though i'd argue that this is a bit of a rarity

One can probably make observations about the different libraries, frameworks, platforms, ecosystems, ways of thinking and perhaps about us as a society based on that, though i doubt that i should necessarily be that person. Anyone know of people who've made similar observations, perhaps?

Regardless, i think it's interesting to look all of this and to wonder about how long any particular language, piece of code or platform will survive. Personally, i really enjoy the ones that are developed at a slower pace and don't need constant churn to keep the code running.
Consider:

*Twitter is a small but vocal slice of politics, mostly left-leaning.

*Publishing to Twitter means throwing yourself at the mob.

*The mob is motivated by many things, one of which is one-upping the other for sport.

But THE WORST part of the whole thing is people take it seriously and companies take it seriously and organizations take it seriously.

It would not be so bad if Twittering stayed in Twitter, but it doesn't, it bleeds into life in real ways.

That means you cannot use it as a way to "think out loud". People will find what you said 10 years ago when something was okay and judge you on today's mores.

People have not co-developed and matured enough with Social media to be able to judge what comes from it appropriately.

I think different people are stressed by different things. For me it’s having to juggle the demand of multiple people who have no clue what I do.

I guess some people will find a similar challenge on management, but the difference is that I’m in charge of it now and through that has the capacity to say no or delegate. I’m sure excellent programming managers set up environments that aren’t as taxing as the ones I’ve worked in, but I’m not sure I’m even succeeding in it.

If you think you found a bug: you just open it.

Reviewers / authors / community determine whether its a bug in the compiler or in the spec or both, or not.

- How do you know that's something is a compiler bug? Compiler writers typically know.

- How do you know that's something is a spec bug? All Rust spec changes go through the RFC process. If the proposal doesn't mention the issue, then its probably a bug. There are also many people maintaining the Rust spec. These people usually know.

If nobody knows, you submit an RFC, explaining why you think is a bug. The community can then reading, and the appropriate teams can decide, and if it is merged, then it is a bug.

The fix lands at some point, and the fixed Language / standard library / implementation becomes Rust 1.X.Y.

Done.

---

This is much simpler than in C++, where if you think you found a bug... you could open it in clang or gcc, but if its a spec bug, then that's the wrong place, and it might get closed with "not a bug". Ok so you need to open it in the spec, which you can do, but without you being an ISO member (and paying) there is little on your hand to push this forward.... Anyways supposed this is fixed in the spec, you then re-open it in the implementation you cared about. This might be fixed, or not. Probably not, because it would make this implementation incompatible with another existing one (e.g. clang incompatible with GCC), and that other one could say "fixing this breaks too much code, we won't fix it", so.... now you need to coordinate a bugfix deployment across multiple implementations.

Even if you manage that, most fixes get backported, so that means these things introduce breaking changes in, e.g., old C++ standard versions, breaking old code that assumed those to be "stable", etc. And how these fixes are backported differs from compiler to compiler, so now you get a new set of incompatibilities.

Some compilers like clang, have flags to configure which fixes get applied and which aren't (e.g. -fabi-compat=...) so that the user can choose which versions with which specification patches of which other compilers the generated code should be compatible with.

How many bugs does the C++ spec have?

Thousands: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/cwg_defects.html

What happens if you screw your C++ compatibility settings when mixing code from different toolchains (e.g. a library compiled with clang on linux with a binary compiled with gcc or viceveersa) ? Undefined behavior.
Large solar farms take up a lot of land. Much more than wind does. It also makes that land useless for anything else other than solar.

Large wind farms generate more power than solar on a per acre basis and have a lot of land that can be used for cow/sheep grazing, buildings for other purposes, and so on.

Solar is getting so cheap that people can use them for "local solar" (in the industry, that's called distributed generation).

Rooftop solar on residential homes usually power the house first, then the battery of the house, then the grid. This could change if net metering is allowed though but usually only after your batteries are topped up.

Also you could just not have batteries (since it's so expensive). In that case any excess power will just go directly to the grid.

Except, if you'd ever paid any attention to housing markets in any major city they don't work this way. There are too many other factors and incentives at play. Not least of which is that the profit motive drives developers and landlords to keep costs as high as they possibly can, and they all share that motivation, so you end up with convergent price fixing - where they all just naturally compete on things other than price with out actually colluding to do that.

Markets rarely actually work as advertised.

From the article:

> require in-app purchases

You need to bifurcate the payment % from the selling of the app itself and the in-app purchase.

For iOS, the AppStore is essentially mandated to download and sign an iOS app. No one is saying that you shouldn't have some cost associated with getting that distribution (since Apple is providing value there), it's more about the cut they take for every additional fees once the app is already downloaded.
> It's extremely likely that a large part of the signal that makes this community valuable would depart if it was entirely filled with 10x as much noise.

What does this say about those participants who do leave? The entire point of different opinions is different points of view on the same subject. Those leaving simply because they don’t like the general narrative do no abide by this principle and probably shouldn’t have been in the community in the first place. Those leaving because they experienced daily abuse, that’s reasonable. I still don’t think they should leave, but instead grow thicker skin.

Survival of the fittest.

Human society has had a lot of versions of "how things work" in regards to obtaining and distributing resources. As some of the work force transitions from physical, in-person employment (trading labor for pay) to increasingly virtual employment, some things are de-coupled, like high "cost of living" areas being less strongly related to "high paying employment centers."

But for employees, it's just an amplification of the previous trend towards inequality in employment that was already happening.

Another way to think about this is specialization. A few people can specialize in certain remote tasks - obviously the examples of education (for fitness, academia, etc.) - because creation is not tied to consumption, especially for digital goods and services.

The distribution of employment has always shifted over time as productivity has increased for certain types of work, and then new methods of employment has popped up as technology and entertainment and culture evolved. In a free country a couple hundred years ago, many people might work their own farm and largely sustain themselves off that work. But today a tiny slice of the population manages massive scale farms. What does everyone else do? Industries have evolved from nothing - large scale housing, transportation, etc.

To try to wrap this up, this article isn't going far enough. The goal might be to predict the future. If everything we know we need and want can be produced by a shrinking work force, what will the rest of the population do to earn their keep? Will some kind of redistribution scheme of resources arise, like socialism or universal basic income?
I believe the article details a lot of examples where twitter had nothing to do with the 'crime' at all. Twitter is just where the echo chamber resides.

Everything in the law is slippery. Law isn’t built to be interpreted by simple if-else statements, but by humans, with taking lots of nuance, context and intention into the account.

Also - there’s a tons of ways you can abuse position when you own the platforms. It could be by pushing your products, by giving specific partners preferential access, unequal enforcement of rules, discriminatory rules, etc, etc. That’s why broad terms like abuse exist in the context of the law, so you don’t have to list every single possible bad behavior and let judges decide.

Is that perfect? No. But I’d argue it’s better than your proposal.
IIRC fanalyzer is a fairly recent addition to gcc. Has it become reasonably usable yet?

I recall getting a bit excited when I first read about it, but the results I got where a bit bizarre (e.g. every single function that allocated memory and returned a pointer to it was labeled as leaking memory; not really any useful info).

I did the fun exercise myself once to riffle through the gcc manpage, cobble together warning flags and massage them into autoconf[1][2].

There is a very handy m4 script in the util-linux source for testing supported warning flags[3].

In the long run zero growth is the only possible asymptotic besides decline. Our world is finite; we are close to or over ecological limits already. Economic growth by improved efficiency or technological advancement is still possible, but there are fundamental limits there as well.

So whether or not one calls for zero growth, we should plan for an eventual situation of zero growth and structure our society so this is a good outcome.

No it's not the author's responsibility, but if a few seconds of work could make the update accessible to far more people (and get more people excited about it), I'm not sure I see an argument against putting that context. Frankly, every article and blog post should be written that way.

>The point is that political movements have short life spans. Perhaps in the tens or hundreds of years, which is not nearly enough for evolution to make any meaningful impact.

Evolution can work on any time scale, including instantly. Look no further than a large asteroid turning into a meteorite, it is evolution done in hours, where everything larger than a cat dies.

For politics: the Nazi party for example had a definite impact on human evolution in Europe as it murdered rather a lot of people who were not blond enough or too blond. The same way the British Empire had a rather profound impact on evolution in the US, Canada and Australia.

> Are you suggesting that Apple charging developers a percentage-based license fee for use of their work is unlawful anywhere, under any law current or proposed?

The crux of the discussion generally focus on the parts of the contract preventing developers from using competing works in addition to the fees. That seems to fall squarly into your "whatever terms they want". And yes, I do personaly think there is a case to be made that Apple licensing terms are anti-competitive, an opinion which seems shared by the EU’s competition chief.

Your opinion seems to be that Apple could just stop charging a fee for using the App Store and charge it for the use of a different but similarly unavoidable part of the system instead. But that's merely a technicality. It doesn't fundamentaly change the question.

When I hear this I don't believe they're talking about grammar errors or malapropisms.

You can replace "poorly worded comment* with racist/misogynist/ableist/transphobic/etc comment and see that this is a euphemism.

How much of intellectual life is now stifled because of fear of what a racist/misogynist/abelist comment would look like if taken out of context and spread on Twitter?

Context is important. One can dig up a quote from David Bowie that would paint him as a supporter of fascism. And indeed, at one point in his life, that may have been true. He later rescinded those comments and apologized and did his best, it seems, to make up for it in his later life.

But we're talking about people in the here-and-now in positions of power with terrible opinions saying horrible things about other people and they downplay it by acting like the people holding them accountable are the overly-sensitive ones.

It's not trampling democratic discourse. It's making it better in my accounting.
