This is likely the most realistic path forward for most developers using MBPs.
- 15% is a rather new development. Most devs paid 30% for many years. I paid 30% for over 10 years.

- Stripe is cheaper in the EU for EU cards. 1.4% plus €0.25

- Apple didn’t even notify me about individual refunds for what? 10 years? And it’s still unreliable and annoying so that I don’t even bother, because I get like 3 refunds per month. You could actually get a refund and still keep the app for a long time.

- People complain to me if they want a refund, but Apple gives me no control. I have to redirect them to Apple customer support. I am perceived as the bad person and this costs me money in terms of customer support and I can’t even help people, because Apple wants to own the relationship between app devs and customers.

There are so many silly things about the App Store that your quotation of 15% as a generous service is laughable.

Edit: but yes, Stripe and PayPal are more than 2% in reality, but far from 15% or even 30%, except for micro transactions.

Why would it be awkward? I am often in very mixed political company, and never share the politics of people I am around. It isn't awkward at all. Either, don't talk about politics. Or just have fun debates, assuming they are able to hold those debates. If you can't talk with people that disagree with you, that's an issue.
Just the beginning...it's going to get much worse.

That's a reductive way to phrase it, but more or less yes.

It's arguable if the container is "virtualized linux" as they all share a single linux kernel. In reality there's one virtual machine, one linux kernel, and many linux userspaces (one per container), which is kinda the whole point of containers.

Over docker+linux, the virtual machine is the only additional layer.

fwiw, I personally don't use macOS, so I've only got virtualized linux (containers) run by docker running on linux running on my hardware.

Are you trying to make a point or something here? Like, yes, we've built layers of abstraction that include different types of virtualization (VMs and containers), and they compose. Is that all you're observing?

Current Docker on Windows detects if you have WSL2 or not, and gives you the option of just installing docker in WSL2 + configuring the Windows docker tools to manipulate the docker daemon running in WSL2.
Beware of VirtualBox. While part of it is free, it's not very useful without the extension package. This package is easy to download on the same website as VirtualBox, but... it's not free.

Even better Oracle tracks the ips that download this extension and after a suitable amount of time they will come knocking on your company's door asking for an insulting amount of money (e.g. more expensive than VMware) or get sued. You need to read the fine print of the additional Eula printed in really small letters on the VirtualBox website to figure out the extension isn't free. It's almost a honeypot tactic. Scummy.
abuse of monopoly power is a big area, there's no one answer, but you're asking good questions. It's not really going to help future companies though, because any company in a position to think about this problem has the type and quality of attorneys who already best know the answers.

In any case, though, that's not what's going on with this Korean law. Antitrust violations of existing law are generally determined by courts and or regulatory agencies, whereas this is a new law from a legislature signalling that they want to encourage a competitive marketplace in this manner. Of course, with lobbying and nationalism, it's quite possible that this law was guided by powerful Korean interests or nationalist parties who simply want to hobble foreign entities in favor of local companies: still not an example of antitrust, except possibly in the other direction.

in any case, in the US it's not monopoly that's against the law, it's that market power being used to abuse market participants or influence prices. And there is no clearcut answer, but there are "guidelines", for example if you control 70% of a market and your major competitor controls 25%, you have a good basis to say that you are not a monopoly. Notice that Microsoft invested to prop up Apple when Apple was on the ropes in the late 90's. That type of action shows how tricky and pernicious these regulations can be, Microsoft gets the excuse "we have a major competitor" and also benefits from the success of the competitor.

But that's the market share part of the equation. The additional aspects are "can it be shown that the price of the good is being manipulated upward?" So, Microsoft offering big discounts to PC manufacturers to get them to exclusively offer MS OSes on their platform: are those discounts abuse of the market?

I'm not a particular expert on this, there are many places to quibble with what I've said, I'm just trying to offer the flavor of what I thought when I read your questions.

Oh, at what point did Apple cross the line? Has Apple even crossed the line now? Is not really the question. By the time enforcement actions are taken, companies are generally well over the line. The real question is "how much can we abuse our market power and get away with it before the clamor to regulate us gets too strong for politicians to ignore? And what is the temperament of the administration in office?"
Just a remark that Wirth had nothing to do with Modula-3.

The language has grown out of Mesa/Cedar, Modula-2+, when some of XEROX people went into Olivetti Research Center.

What is your reaction to some of the historical-tuning recordings that have proliferated in the past decade or so, especially on piano? Do you see aesthetic value in those tunings, when taken as a whole piece, or are you so locked in to equal temperament that it's irritating to hear alternative tunings?

I have a pretty decent relative pitch but not perfect pitch... to me these tunings sound interesting but I can't say I derive any more pleasure from them. Sometimes they give me the feeling of not quite having my footing underneath myself. They're more of an oddity.
The pandemic accelerated the end of globalization. Globalization is over. The US will become less and less involved in the other countries -- even less than it is now -- and corporations will not be hiring teams that are mix of time zones, languages, and cultures. They will continue to hire people with credentials like those in charge, who look like, speak like, and have the same goals / culture as those in charge.

And that's going to be in US major cities.

It's not the amount of money that is the issue, the issue is that it this wasn't budgeted into the project when it was proposed 2 years ago. It is software that falls under category S which means you can't use overhead funds it has to be a category S purchase, but you have no category S funds budgeted to the project because you were using free software.

Being so cheap actually complicates the matters even more, since the finance people don't really want to mess with purchases less than $5,000, even though it is their own rule that requires all software to go through them regardless of cost. It just means they won't be willing to help very much.

The instructions, while for Starcraft 2, may well work for many not so recent/AAA games. I may be an outlier but I bought PS/2 and PS/3 only for Gran Turismo, and PC gaming is SC2 or a Java Go game client (unless you also count Universal Paperclips).

Edit: I also remember that I used to run Windows as host OS and a Linux virtual box with hardware graphics acceleration and direct access to the Linux (ext_) formatted partitions. That was a pretty nice setup. I could if necessary dual boot to real Linux on the same setup.

Selling a Successful SaaS business, reasons?
I get asked this question by almost all business buyers, "Why is the business for sale?"

Besides retirement, sickness, divorce and other serious life situations, why else would someone sell a growing and profitable technology business?

It's very impactful though, it'll probably be people seeing it as highly visible and career-advancing who manage to muster the 'patience and leverage'.

Because some people like to have separation of concerns in their life. I don't necessarily want to have my home be where I workout and where I work. Especially given that I live in a small studio. I do classes 1x a week still, and being in a room, 15 minutes down the street, surrounded by people in the same mindset helps me focus on that task.

This doesn't fit into everyone's wants and needs...but just because you can't fathom why YOU would want to do something doesn't mean there isn't a completely valid reason for those around you.

So by traditional meassures like absolute market share, apple might not be a monopolist, but because of the massive lock in and market dominance (of the luxory segment), with all its implications, I surely would say they abuse their power since a long time.
But I also do not believe in regulations as the magic bullet to really solve it, exactly because the lines are too blurry.

No, that's not how it works with WSL2 as the backend. You then cannot configure a smaller amount of RAM in the docker app, it's greyed out. One can limit the RAM that WSL has, but that's not really helpful when docker steals all of it. (And WSL2 supports dynamic allocation of memory anyways, so it's supposed to return unused memory to the host)

So you are wrong. For those of us affected by the bug, it's a big issue.

This is, in fact, current mainstream scientific position. There is a lot of distinction in abilities between absolute and relative.

What I personally experienced is there are some individuals who can identify specific notes down to the unit frequency (I played a 439Hz tone, the person said "Uh you're a hertz short" and I fixed the bug in my program). That level of ability is generally believed to be not learnable after the brain loses a certain amount of plasticicity.

Continuing from my own experience, people who do not have absolute pitch at that level can improve their skills in pitch detection including: identifying intervals, identifying octave, identifying common notes in an octave, and people like me who can barely tell you the interval between two notes can improve their pitch detection somewhat.

Whta is rarely or never observed it people with relative pitch gaining perfect absolute pitch after growing up, regardless of the amount of training.

The problem isn't you choosing to engage with everybody. It's everybody else choosing to engage with you and those you want to engage with.

If every discussion on HN was derailed by bad actors, you'd go somewhere else. If there was nowhere else moderated to go to, you'd probably just stop engaging altogether.
Thanks for the feedback. A Linux version is in the roadmap for this fall. I've had several discussions on it in the past week.

Part of this was due to priorities and part of it was technicalities. For example, do we put it in a VM so that way someone can easily blow things away and we don't touch the base system? We had to come to some direction on what we wanted to do there. Now that we have that idea we need to finish up one thing on Mac that will translate over to Linux.

The Linux side will be based on Lima[1] just as the Mac side is.

Earlier today I had a discussion on the packaging format.

You’re conflating ease of understanding/reading Go code with complexity of a hard problem. I can personally read the standard library, or basically any library, and I regularly do to understand how stuff works under the hood. But certain problems are hard and are going to take time to understand the problem and solution versus a basic idea of some things the code is doing. Eg: reading how a RabbitMQ library is using a parameter versus understanding the entire protocol it’s handling. Go is very nice in being able to read other people’s code where other languages it’s extremely hard. (Eg: I’ve tried to read the code for SQL Alchemy in Python and it’s… very hard)

> B2C = not worth it

I highly disagree.

Yes, B2B subscription / SaaS has a lot going for it. Lower price sensitivity, potential for negative churn, etc.

But dismissing B2C subscriptions is pretty terrible advice. Things have changed over the past few years and there's potential to build both healthy "side hustle" B2C subscription businesses as well as large venture-scale ones.

I work on a venture-backed B2C subscription startup, and despite what investors told us when we started building, we're seeing pretty healthy willingness-to-pay right now.

Over the past two years, Australian and New Zealand's governments have become great examples of how statism can take over so quickly. As an outsider, I feel really sad for people in Australia and New Zealand.
One thing that helps a lot in this situation is to plan based on threat model. There’s no such thing as 100% trust, but you can have a computer which is safe for e.g. <thing>. It’s pretty crucial to pick one or two specific <thing>s and focus only on those.

If you just want to browse the darknet and see what the markets are like, for example, Tor on your current computers is fine.

If you’re wanting to make a purchase and you’re worried that your existing computers will narc on you, your plan of buy laptop + use ubuntu is A+.

If you want a computer to store information on, Edward Snowden style, you’ll need to take increasingly serious steps. Use tails as a baseline. (Note: I’ve been out of the game since 2016, so take this with salt.)

If you’re literally dodging the NSA, you need to put on a full face mask in winter, plan a route to a store you’ve recon’d, buy clothes with cash from goodwill, carry them in a trash bag as you walk out of your neighborhood, sneak in between two houses in the dead of night and put the outfit on + mask, walk to a taxi, have it take you near (but not to) the electronics store, buy yourself a burner phone + a few USB wifi dongles + anything else you want completely unlinkable to you (you’re on cameras), pay for all of it while getting some strange and worried looks that you’re going to rob something, then do the entire process in reverse until you’re back at your house with your untraceable electronics.

I did all that, and even then I was likely making some small mistake that would’ve blown everything.

Yet the city wide surveillance drones (god eye) will still have a nice little record of you that they can ID you with. And you sneaking around in the middle of the night putting on masks will probably get you in serious trouble. It never really occurs to you when you’re doing this sort of thing to stop and consider whether you’re just doing crazy things. (It’s tempting to believe the answer is “no,” especially the more you want to believe it.)

Suffice to say, threat modeling is key, and it’s worth thinking carefully about what exactly you want to accomplish.
