i have seen a flask/pyramid apps recreating django's batteries -- weakly and unmaintainably.

yes, building something from scratch is good for learning, and arguably should be done before picking up and learning a framework. but that is true for flask/pyramid just the same, build your own utility belt first to truly appreciate something like django.

what is also good for learning is to drill down into the django code to see how certain things were implemented and what design choices were made by seasoned developers. all that code also went through a lot of testing, testing that a home made module will rarely see.

building from scratch is great for learning, but keep your learning artifacts out of production :}

edit: one more thing, once you commit to a framework, dont fight it. if you dont like the django way, dont use django, obviously it's not gonna be a nice experience... every framework is meant to be used in a certain way.
Being in meetings and "working with others" is not always collaboration. It's frequently waste. I can't tell you how many "collaborative meetings" are just 1 or 2 devs doing their thing with the other 4-6 sitting in the meeting in silence.

You read that right - there are 8-dev meetings multiple times a week at my BigCo workplace. The wasted time is palpable.
You´re wrong.
The injunction doesn't take effect for 90 days, so I expect we won't see any updates related to this for 3 months.

But if I were an iOS dev, I would definitely wait and see much longer than that. It wouldn't be worth risking my apps or my developer account.

To quote David Duchovney:

"I think when I was younger I wanted to tell everybody everything, because I thought I was so damn interesting. Then I heard the snoring."
That is of course of some benefit to some developers (with products on other platforms), but very different from the headlines suggesting developers could now dodge the 30% commission by taking payments outside the app.
Apple had already changed the anti-steering rule last week, to settle a Japanese antitrust investigation.

>SAN FRANCISCO/TOKYO, Sept 2 (Reuters) - Apple Inc (AAPL.O) will let some apps like Netflix Inc (NFLX.O) provide links to their websites for user payments, a small concession that would allow app developers to bypass the controversial 30% App Store fee the iPhone maker charges.

So the only point that Apple lost on in this case had already been conceded.
Heh, yes.

I developed tardive dyskinesia from use of antipsychotics over a period of 8 months. It's been over 6 years since I've taken them, but it still has not gotten any better...

I liked it! It took me to another world where the rules are different and kept me guessing. My interpretation is this is a story where the “god” is actually the one asking the questions rather than being all knowing which is an interesting role reversal from what we traditionally think of gods. But I don’t take this as a religious story per se.

Also another analogy is having kids, with the parents being amazed or maybe angry with how they turned out, but the kids are now grown up and are not intimidated by the anger.

> And that cynical portrayal of politics is itself part of the exact ideology that Thatcher tried to promote

Putting aside the fact that if that were true Thatcher would still be lampooning herself, the show isn’t purely cynical about government. In the show the rank and file in the public service are full of competent, well meaning, and principled people. The show is cynical about those who rise to the top and the system that tramples the well meaning, however, that is a very bipartisan sentiment in every country with free speech rights.
It looks like some sort of cloud nas? I can’t tell either.

The look+feel being like “something-intosh” is waaaay too emphasized. If they just mirrored the design language it’d be one thing, but this seems like it’s _asking_ for a cease and desist.
On one hand this might be a problem, on the other hand, one has to realize, that someone hosting mastodon is also in some regions of the world, responsible for taking care of preventing illegal content on the service. If I hosted a mastodon instance for example, I would have to check everything, because of upload filter rules, and if other people uploaded or posted inappropriate stuff, then I might face legal consequences for it. This needs to be kept in mind.

righ which is exactly my point. the republican party as a structure has influence. that does not mean being a member of it gives you any meaningful influence. the collective has distributed power. this is in the same way as how the government as a collective determines a lot of how our society runs without their being people who "control society" even though the government is made up of people.

Yeah you're right, but you do get my point. I should write, causation ALWAYS IMPLIES correlation.
I'm almost certain the actual reason is producing all the infrastructure to DMCA content on Google/Facebook/Twitter/Youtube and other "mainstream" Web 2.0 platforms is expensive.

Copyright enforcement is a lot stricter on Youtube, than say, Reddit video.

It's all down to the engagement of the IP owners.

My guess is they just haven't gotten around to chasing Archive.is down that hard.
I find the authors arguments about PGP to be really strange because realistically they mostly apply to Signal and other E2EE messaging apps.

E2EE only guarantees encryption in transit between two end nodes. Infrastructure between those two nodes can't read or alter the payload. That is the only thing it guarantees. Once an end node receives a message any guarantees of encryption/safety go out the window.

There's no guarantee the intended recipient is in possession of the end node or someone isn't shoulder surfing them. There's also no guarantees the end node's local message storage will remain secure in perpetuity.

There's also no guarantee that the metadata of messages, even sent through a nominally secure service, will also remain secure in perpetuity. Signal as a service might be very secure and will never leak metadata but there's no guarantee of that especially if state funded malefactors target the service.

The security of messages at rest is pretty similar between PGP e-mail and Signal messages. Signal's metadata is more secure than e-mail by default but that may not always be true.
You're welcome. I'd highly recommend watching the interview I posted, as well as any interview you can find with him or Thomas Drake, who Binney mentions. Both of their handlings have been cited by Snowden as one of the main reasons why he leaked his info to the press vs "officially" going up the chain of command. I wouldn't want to be taking a shower in my house and have them pull the curtain open with a gun pointed to my head, either.
Since the ruling concludes that Apple would still be entitled to a 30% cut in that case (just it's harder for Apple to collect), I imagine Apple could reject that app update on the grounds that the developer hasn't added provisions to track purchases made in that manner so they can later pony up to Apple.
> Under all models, Apple would be entitled to a commission or licensing fee, even if IAP was optional.

This is one of the big ones I didn't realize in my initial reading of the situation. How far does this go? Is the judge saying that Apple could try to collect 30% of Netflix subscriptions or Fortnite purchases made via the website?

I still feel like I'm misunderstanding something here, I guess I need to go through some of the linked videos/articles.

Linking to alternative purchase methods would be a big thing, regardless of whether they're IAP or not -- it's obviously not everything or even most of what Epic wants, but it would be a huge step over existing app store rules (across both iOS and Google Play) where developers were getting in trouble for linking to their own websites within the app or even just telling users that alternatives existed. That inability to even tell consumers that Apple collects a 30% fee in the first place, basically forcing developers to pretend to users that the restrictions don't exist -- that's a really big issue with large market implications, and a restriction on that is honestly on the upper edges of what I thought Epic could possibly get in an initial ruling.

If Epic got that, then I understand why they're unhappy because obviously they wanted way more, but it's still not a minor inconsequential ruling. Apple has been extremely protective of that restriction. They do not want apps telling users about how the payment methods work, where they are, or about what iOS fees are.

But this seems to imply that if an app linked to their website in their app, and a user clicked on that link, opened it in a web browser, then bought something through the browser, that Apple could then collect a 30% commission on that. I'm misunderstanding that, right?

> would still be contractually entitled to its commission on any purchase made within apps distributed on the App Store." (page 155)

On any purchase made within apps applies to links that take you out of the app?

It might be too expensive to scale this up such that it generates an appreciable amount of power. It might require mass-production techniques.
When I used one we didn't have a designer at all, much less neatly-organized mockups.

But even if we had, we might not have discovered things like "oh, if you have the modal set to show a close button in the corner and also give it a really long title and make the window narrow then the button gets awkwardly pushed to the next line". The kind of stuff that mockups often don't cover, but real-world users might encounter some day.
Something similar happened to a friend of mine and you can find plenty of stories on the internet - the way suicidal people are treated by the police is actually cruel and I can't imagine it helps anyone who is really feeling suicidal.

My buddy got arrested, restrained to a hospital bed against his will, was given a cocktail of drugs, and had to stay there multiple days while getting a 'wellness check' every fifteen minutes where a nurse shakes you awake.

To top it all off they sent him home with a $60,000 medical bill.

Not a great way to treat someone who's going through a hard time. I definitely learned never to call the police unless someone is literally getting ready to jump off a building.
Ask HN: If AI can potentially wipe us out, why is there a race to achieve it?
I'm not saying that a true AGI will definitely wipe us off the face of the planet, but there are obviously risks involved in such a huge achievement.

Given the not-so-good record of big corporations (even FAANG) in terms of security and privacy, I don't understand why there is such a competition among companies to create AGI.

It's like saying that "creating X is potentially going to kill you and everyone else, but if it doesn't, it will make you Y amount of money". How do you rationalize a decision that accepts this risk?
And they sere simulations.

> it seems like the only thing Epic won here is the right to tell customers about other possible payment methods

They won that for other developers but not for themselves. Epic failed to win an injunction that would see Fortnite return to the App Store; their singular victory is of no use to them.
I don't think anyone is talking about moral rights here, just legal ones.
interestingly I was just watching a doc about amish people where they were saying the concept of rumspringa as it is portrayed in popular culture simply does not exist in amish society.

This was my experience. I ended up using Docsify for my web component library (https://shoelace.style) as it renders markdown on the fly and works well with custom elements.

The idea behind Storybook is great, but it’s gotten slower and heavier over the years and it seems like the project has lost direction. Is it a component sandbox or a documentation website? IMO, it does neither of them well anymore. The UI is hard to customize, the shortcuts are annoying (pressing S while focused in an input toggles the sidebar, for example), and it takes forever to install and launch.

I moved on a few years ago and haven’t missed it.
If it's true that transgender people didn't think about this until the directors came out, the metaphor can't have been a very good one. That's likely more the fault of the studio than the directors.

A point of comparison is Harry Potter. Rowling is still coy about it—as you would be, given the money at stake. But every gay or lesbian reader, and lots of straight ones beside, immediately see what inspired lycanthropy. Not to mention the adolescent protagonist who moves out of his suburban closet to discover a hidden world at the back of a strange pub, where power comes from the point of a spark-shooting wand, and his latent talent for riding broomsticks makes him the most popular boy in his boarding school.

With Rowling's sense for wordplay, she must have been aware of that interpretation, even if it wasn't entirely deliberate. But it isn't just words: the whole structure of magical Britain, and the muggle world's surprising failure to notice things that are sitting in plain sight, are strikingly familiar to gay and lesbian readers who were around when the books were written.

> i have this nagging feeling that nothing good ever comes out when there is a large group of people involved. and that the most successful communities, teams or groups are small. i have seen small communities ruined when they got big or niche communities wrecked when they went mainstream. time and again. but we keep pushing for larger groups, larger teams, more networking, more friends,

This made me think of the quote from Men in Black:

I think there's some major exceptions but they require heavy-handed moderation. Notable among these is the AskHistorians subreddit.
You could argue though they're the exception that proves the rule.

I will say though, I'm a frequent participant in a few topic-specific forum, and I think if anything the concentration to places like Reddit, Facebook groups, and Discord has helped these places quite a bit in the exact way you suggest. They've been insulated because they're too obscure now and that has allowed them all to largely have reasonable organic growth, rather than explosive "hug of death" style sudden growth. I just hope that lasts.
Because it would be redistributive.
I'm with you on being outraged, but organizational dysfunction is the norm and not reigning it in is one way of "dropping the ball".

There wasn't, like, one single person who had all this information and he was personally stopped by the head of the CIA from telling the executive branch. It was a SNAFU of competing interests and stupid bureaucracy.

There's a lot of global changes that could be underlying contributing factors. Global air and water pollution, pesticides, microplastics. Things that were regional that are becoming global as Earth's massive interconnected recycling systems chug on our waste. The entire planet has traces of radioactive isotopes that were essentially non-existent before nuclear testing. Light pollution. Global insect apocalypse. You can create a list and rank them by the potential contributions. I didn't read the whole article because paywall, but there are lots of things that are all globally different than a century ago.
All the while I can drive 15 min and find thousands of obviously mentally ill people in need of involuntary mental health treatment (the type perhaps not even available at this point in the US) wandering around and the police cannot do anything about it because their only avenue for detaining them is to wait until they catch them committing a crime. And even then they are shortly released onto their own recognizance if it is anything short of attempted murder.
It's not perfect. Look at the shadow cast by the chair. The chair is moving, the shadow is not.
Crushed? Everyone assumed Epic would get nothing. The fact they got something is a victory though not a total victory.
I appreciate that you’ve moved from assuming what Cloudflare is doing to assuming what I understand. I think this thread has run its course.
All the way back in “the 1930s, the ACLU started to engage in work combating police misconduct and supporting Native American rights.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union So it’s been about far more than free speech for the vast majority of it’s history. And it still defends such causes, one example is even in the article:

“In August 2017, officials in Charlottesville, Va., rescinded a permit for far-right groups to rally downtown in support of a statue to the Confederate general Robert E. Lee. Officials instead relocated the demonstration to outside the city’s core.
The A.C.L.U. of Virginia argued that this violated the free speech rights of the far-right groups and won, preserving the right for the group to parade downtown.“

So while it’s scope has increased over time which has created increased internal tension, that’s always been the case. “The A.C.L.U. has in fact often gloried in its internal contentions. It split over decisions to represent the Nazis in the 1930s, the Ku Klux Klan in the 1960s, and the Nazis in the 1970s.”

Frankly the organization has never been filled 100% with defenders of free speech the Twitter age combined with a wider scope has brought this internal tension to the general public. The important work they do is generally in the courtroom which is far more focused.

One option might be to not require a medical cause for assisted suicide. Instead it could be something that people have an absolute right to do for any reason or none, though I do not think most societies would be comfortable with that. Perhaps heavy due process similar to that required in many jurisdictions for a woman wanting to carry out an abortion could be required.

I think I'm missing something. Are the developers forced to offer the in-app purchases right now? My understanding was "no" based on how Netflix does not offer purchasing subscription through the app specifically to avoid having to pay the commission. Can Netflix now link (from within the app) to a website where the users can purchase the subscription?
