There are some things to avoid, which might mitigate the problem somewhat:

- Surveillance/malware

- Smart TV

- Putting computers in everything even that don't need it

- Digital Rights/Restrictions Management

- Government spying on everyone's computer

- Too many fancy animations, etc in computer programs, especially web pages

- Planned obsolesence

- Bitcoin (it wastes a lot of energy too, I think, so I will not use it)

(Some of these are mentioned in the linked article, but not all. There are also other things I might not have mentioned, too. There are also other reasons to avoid the above (with the possible exception of bitcoin) other than energy requirement, too.)

There are also some new things to try, such as improving existing software to use less energy (that can be one benefit of FOSS), improving the compiler if it might compile program for less energy requirement (if the existing optimization options are not suitable), etc.

Also, you shouldn't need web browser for everything, there are other ptocols and file formats too which can be improve, too. Not only is user improvement, simpler to write, less annoying, and may also waste less energy hopefully, too.
A mongo database can have multiple collection or tables. Data from multiple tables can be joined together and then just what the user asks for is returned. We also include fields that calculate values based on data from the database. The caller need not be aware of the layout or structure of the data in the database. GraphQL queries allow for just the requested data to be returned and not a complete record from a database.
Having not seen any of this happen, I'm forced to wonder: is this entire story fraudulent? Did r/drama do any of this, and/or were the people reacting to it actually in on the joke? Is the "of course people fell for this" reaction falling for the meta-troll? But it won't keep me up at night.

Fair enough, that makes sense. It's been a while since I used Mongo and I used an ORM at the time so I forgot about how much joining can be required.
I used WSLg for several months and just recently switched back to x410. WSLg is badly broken with non-trivial apps like IntelliJ IDEA.
And there's nothing in the ruling that says Apple can't still demand a cut from in-app sales transacted through another mechanism. It's more work for Apple, but they're still legally entitled to do it, if developers must agree to Apple's terms in order to use their intellectual property.
I think wxWidgets fills this role pretty nicely. It's what, e.g., Audacity and FileZilla use.
> You cannot please all the people all the time when it comes to readability.

Someone should invent a technology where servers deliver semantic content and user agents control styling. Then you could, in fact, please all the people (except controlling designers.)
> None? If the idea is that the US would have been invaded by the Axis seems unlikely, as all of their goals were fairly localized to each of Germany, Italy, and Japan

How was conquering Russia, Europe, and Africa a local goal? How was conquering all of the indo pacific a local goal?

You honestly think Hitler would have been content to keep Europe, Russia, and Africa forever? You don't think he would have wanted to conquer more? Appeasement and naivety didn't work too well for those that used it.

Like some other commenters here, I don't think I've found any repetitive tasks that aren't scriptable. Aliases and functions handle every one of my use cases and they probably would handle OPs as well.

For example, he could install moeeutils and then just:

alias pre-commit='chronic cargo test& exa -l; wait'

If you really want splits, just spawn tmux with two panes using Tmuxinator, or:

pre-commit() {
tmux new-session \; \
send-keys 'cargo test || read' C-m \; \
split-window -v \; \
send-keys 'exa -l' C-m
}

Shell is powerful because of its compossibility, but if you don't choose to learn it then of course it feels clunky
You are correct! I am ___ always the best proofreader. :)
It's incorrect to say that programs can access the hardware directly using Mesa. Rather, they use Mesa which interprets their requests and grants or denies them.

For example if you try to read GPU memory that isn't yours you will get denied. Unless there is some bug or exploit.

Apple is far more likely to just require a cut from in-app sales transacted through any other mechanism, something Apple is still legally entitled to, and can be clarified in the developer terms which must be signed in order for others to sell products which integrate Apple intellectual property.

> Saturn being the sixth planet from the sun it has historically been associated with the hexagon within occult symbolism since well before humans could have verified such a storm exists.

By who? There can't be a traditional association for the obvious reason that, until fairly recently, there were only 5 planets and there was no way to know which of them were how far from the Sun.
This is an example of application of the policy I described.

> “They stumbled upon something in the app that mentioned there were paid plans, they went to the website and saw there was a subscription you could purchase, and then turned around and demanded we add IAP.”

> Today, Apple confirmed to us once again that the rule is more lenient than it sounds: “free apps acting as a stand-alone companion to a paid web based tool” don’t need to use IAP as long as the apps themselves don’t offer purchases, and as long as the apps themselves don’t ask users to make purchases outside the app.
I’ve had the same idea. It’s a good one.

If Linux would just adopt NFSv4 ACLs, there'd be nothing mutually exclusive about it, but instead perfectly in tandem.
> No one seriously believes that Apple is claiming that the two things are literally physically impossible to split up technically.

Except Apple in the court does. That is the exact stance why they cannot allow third party stores and browser engines since those are technically a part of indivisible OS services. Of course, this is obviously BS and inconsistent to many other Apple's business practice, anyway it's their official legal stance in nearly all of its antitrust lawsuits.
Malware was absolutely under probe here until today’s ruling (which closed the door to forcing Apple to allow sideloading).

Had third party app stores/sideloading been allowed to happen as epic demanded, that would have made it impossible for any app sufficiently large enough to demand it from their users.

The risk here was very much a return to the Google/FB “gift cards for root access” scheme, minus the gift cards of course, if they had prevailed they would have just blocked web access to iOS and just demanded you root yourself for them if you want to use their service.

Yes, let’s compare the number of BMW dealerships in the Bay Area instead of comparing the number of dealerships Tesla has in comparably sized states where they have no restrictions. Also, we’ll cherry pick blue states from a list of partial ban states when the OP linked to a list of states with total bans.

It’s the OTHER people who are being disingenuous, surely.

Not sure why this is the hill to die on since my understanding is that we agree that bans— both partial & total are anti consumer. The one comment implying Republican states are being hypocritical with their party platform extolling the benefits of a free market vs the reality of the legislation passed seems reasonable given the numbers.

I just got a /32 from ARIN to start implementing it on our network but it is by no stretch of the imagination worth the effort. I will probably have at least 40 hours into testing it and no increased revenue will be realized by it. Maybe IPv6 was the the right thing to due but the practical implementation is ridiculous.
My observation was that sprint hampered our growth (maybe) but chasing Verizon killed us. It was a terribly negotiated deal. Verizon kept upping the purchase order and forcing us to have the inventory on hand only for the demand to never materialize. This caused the liquidity crunch and eventual sale to HP. At least, that’s my understanding of the story but I was a low IC new grad at that point.

I didn't choose to adopt GraphQL, but I joined a company where an ex-developer had integrated into what was at that point a core codebase. They didn't add it due to any particular merit, they just wanted to play with shiny new technology. The codebase also had REST endpoints, but GraphQL made up the majority of the API, so we decided to just run with it and deprecate REST. At the time the decision we made was arbitrary.

This turned out in retrospect to be a good call. The primary consumers of the API were a set of Android and iOS apps, and integrating GraphQL into mobile apps is a pleasant experience. You can generate your data models from the graph schema. Tools like GraphiQL allow developers to explore and play with your API, substantially reducing the amount of documentation needed. The mobile team much preferred working with GraphQL over REST.

On the backend, GraphQL has a bit of a learning curve. The resolver pattern is powerful once you understand how to use it properly, but also easy to misuse. The most common source of problems is developers not understanding Graph's batch resolution mechanism. Developers accustomed to building REST APIs rely on preloading data, which is the wrong approach when dealing with GraphQL.

As a simple example, maybe you initially build a Graph query where you load comments like this:

query Comments {
user {
posts {
comments {
message
}
}
}
}

But later on, you decide you want to allow a user to load their comment history directly:

query Comments {
user {
comments {
message
}
}
}

In the first example, an equivalent REST API might load comments via something like posts.preload(:comments), and when the second query is built you'd use user.preload(:comments). But the way to solve this problem in Graph is batch resolution - get a list of comment IDs you want to load, then call Comment.where(id: comments_ids). Your comment loading is now context agnostic.

Another related problem is that it is easy to create N+1 queries. This also stems from a misunderstanding of batch resolution - reusing the above example it would be the equivalent of calling Comment.find(comment_id) for each ID instead of Comment.where(id: comments_ids). My first few months working with Graph were often spent fixing N+1 queries. As much as I try to explain this problem to new developers, it's one of those things that doesn't click for them until they cause the problem and end up having to fix it.

Once you understand GraphQL it's a nice technology to work with. In the early stages it can be fairly easy to shoot yourself in the foot, you just need to build up enough knowledge to avoid the common pitfalls. In general, GraphQL APIs are harder to build than REST APIs (mostly because REST is the default for most frameworks). If I had to start a new project today, my decision on whether to use GraphQL would be be determined by questions such as:

1. How much control do I have over the clients
2. Are the primary consumers native mobile applications
3. Is flexibility important
4. Will API documentation be required

This argument conflates licensing of a piece software with the the distribution channel that distributes artifacts of that software. The service being discussed here is purely part of the distribution layer and has no footprint on the artifacts themselves. It's merely a passthrough layer sitting in front of the current stack.

If you are using open source today, you're already hitting servers that have access to all of the same information Scarf sees. Visiting a URL is by definition asking a server on the other side to process your request. That data can be very helpful to all of the great open source maintainers out there, but has historically been difficult or impossible to access. The result will be better informed maintainers, and better OSS for everyone.
That's basically it; you get LSP, Treesitter, completion, snippets, ... all setup and ready to go. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it's pretty nice.

Some state systems are required by law to remain solvent, and are empower to enforce that. For example, New York requires municipalities and other entities to make payments to cover lower returns within a year or two by law.

Other states, like most infamously Illinois, have no such requirement and their systems are essentially insolvent, barring the Federal government bailing them out.
