Large corporations not paying taxes is bad, because it means society has less money to pay for things.

That is very different from companies paying less money to a multi trillion dollar company. Companies paying less to a multi trillion dollar company is a good thing.

It is dishonest to equate that to necessary government services being underfunded.

Lower costs are good. So no, I reject that this is bad for small developers.

It is most bad for apple, as they get less money.

> Tough luck

There is no tough luck. Smaller developers can continue to pay the same amount as they were paying before.
Wasn't a King quote I was repudiating. He never said "you shouldn't try to do good on a foundation of injustice", because he wasn't an idiot.
So what's the problem with the post? Are you saying he shouldn't be spending his time writing it?
This adds to the pile of evidence suggesting that most people with severe COVID symptoms are in that position due to their own health and diet choices. I am thinking of the studies showing the concurrence of obesity or vitamin D deficiency with COVID hospitalization.

But that already happens. Apple did not invent online payment and subscription. Consumers do not have a problem buying things online outside the walled garden, and most could not tell you when they’re actually using a Stripe form in a WKWebView or whatever; those that can don’t care much either.

The most powerful force in play here is consumer indifference, which Apple have been relying upon.
KYC - Know your customer. Someone opens a new account prove you know who that person really is. Basically photo id in branch will end "identity theft", and similar beneficiary owner rules more or less ends money laundering

Is the Eclipse RCP still a reasonable platform? Not as fancy as JavaFX but must be more mature/feature-complete. Similarly for the NetBeans kit.
Most technology products that we have these days are more about form filling and response returning than empowering the user to succeed.

Want to go to Germany.. ok you're going to have to go and research the current climiate for if you'll be accepted into the country (Covid restictions), visa requirements (depending on your situation), go to google flights fill out a few forms, decide where your flight is going to go, filter out the bad flights (I.e. Spirit like options like Lufthansa), configure the search to include costs of bags, oh wait the flight doesn't exist anymore for that cost, or doesn't exist anymore. Now you have to do research on connecting through the UK.. does this require a PCR test prior?

Google Flight's view of this: Well we provided a few forms and options for the users to select we're done with the mvp.

I didn't say dual booting was itself the source of the danger (though it is true that in days gone by that was also a source of problems).

The issue I had in mind was the unrestricted hardware access that Windows has if it is running natively. This is an operating system that has literally pushed updates that inadvertently deleted user data, among other severe problems, and that will deploy its updates automatically to many users. Dual booting won't ensure the integrity of your system against that kind of threat. Running Windows in a virtual environment means it can't damage the rest of your system even if it deploys a seriously broken update without warning. And that kind of virtualisation is getting more practical all the time even if for now it remains the preserve of serious Linux hackers.
> which places strong restrictions on third-party developers

Malware isn't under the probe here; IAP is. Apple's behavior has been objectively awful specifically concerning the subject being discussed. Broadening the argument to Apple's desirable curation process is a misrepresentation of the issue.

People will continue to be able to enjoy the convenience of Apple IAP. Savvy users might seek better prices externally - but convenience does hold immense value. Developers can now also, as a pertinent example, ask for donations for open source projects without being taken down.
All about Time Tracking
fzf can partially solve this, as shown in this blog post: https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/fuzzy-search-your-bash-histor...
The trade off is always between cross-platform and native integration. For example, do you want to write an app that feels like a MacOS application? You have to use AppKit to really get that feel, and then it’s not cross platform.

There’s really 3 choices that I see, and have done all of them:

1) just build native UIs for each platform. This is the most time consuming, but the best end result in my opinion. The apps _feel_ the best on each platform

2) make a web app. Electron apps are still web apps.

3) hybrid approach, where part of your logic is shared across different native UIs, let’s say with a C++ / Rust / Java / Kotlin library. This is also a
spectrum. Your library can just have common glue / networking code, all the way up to drawing its own graphics before turning a full screen over to the native UI framework.

I guess there’s also 4, which is Flutter, but that’s really just a pre-packaged #3.

If you ask me, web just has the best delivery model, and that trumps everything. Responsive web app plus a native option via Electron is the way to go.
> "This is really about the problem of what I call the boneyard of the internet. Everything that's not a piece of text or a flat picture is basically destined to rot and die when new methods of delivering the content replace it," Pacheco told CNN Business. "I just feel like the internet is rotting at an even faster pace, ironically, because of innovation. It shouldn't."

I'd hardly call it "innovation". A single SWF file from 20 years ago will run on a Flash player with all assets stored inside a single file. Try archiving a modern JS-based interactive story (the NYT publishes loads) that requires 10 scripts, React, and CDN-served fonts and images to work.

I worked on the original PalmOS. This is TREAT to see. thank you thank you for making my month!
I'm not only talking about malware either.

> Apple's behavior has been objectively awful specifically concerning the subject being discussed.

Certainly not objectively. I would very strongly prefer an Apple ecosystem with no in-app purchases at all!
That and identifying how you connect between the places. There is a major cost difference based on where you're flying to and where you're flying out of.
It is, just with some fancy integrations that makes it more comfortable - for example memory reclamation. But it's all a fancy VM in the end.
> no customer wants to use any company's half-assed bug-riddled purchase or subscription system

They have this brilliant Apple Pay workflow that's almost completely unused in IAP — it bothered me that we couldn't just use Apple Pay to purchase a Spotify subscription directly in-app. Perhaps soon we'll see this.
Especially compare it to SpaceMacs (https://www.spacemacs.org), another vim IDE with a similar name. I bet LunarVim is supposed to be an improvement of SpaceMacs, but how?
To nitpick a bit, my first thought was "how do HTML checkboxes detect light"? It'd be more accurate to call it a checkbox video renderer that uses a webcam as input.
Sorry I might have been confusing you, I was only referencing the reverse calculation of current mobile devs on team. We would hire four people, maybe five, and distribute some to mobile some to backend.

I would absolutely take all the savings from the fee drop and hire as many people as it allowed, napkin calculations says that’s between four and five for me.
No, I'm comparing the much higher efficacy of the polio vaccine and low prevalence of the polio disease to the significantly lower efficacy of the Covid vaccines and the high prevalence of Covid at present. That means the fact that the polio vaccine is non-sterilizing isn't very important, while the fact that the Covid vaccines are non-sterilizing is a big deal and undermines some of the public health policy decisions.
We're using GraphQL at my startup, a bootstrapped unicorn company that is, for lack of a better description, the Uber of Rape.

It's been great, except that one time when I was testing, I sent a buggy query to our production instance, and it resulted in the CEO's mother being raped to death. Sometimes, when I go to sleep at night, I can hear her screaming. Sad stuff, I wish that didn't happen.
I agree this is confusing. Pages 149-150 of the ruling explicitly conclude that it is not illegal for Apple to require developers to use IAP for purchases of in-app content. On the other hand, the injuction on page 168 says Apple cannot prohibit developers from linking to other purchasing mechanisms besides IAP.

The way I would interpret this is:

1. If you want to make a purchase inside the app itself, you still have to use IAP.

2. But you are allowed to leave the app to make a payment that does not use the IAP system, and Apple cannot prevent developers from telling users about such alternative payment systems.
I completely agree -- hell, I still can't work out if "Trump colluded with Putin to hack the election" was satire or if people actually believed it.
I just want to invert the shell and the terminal: a programming language that spawns piped text boxes or terminal emulator box for each command run.

screen/tmux is also all wrong: the "rendering" should be entirely client side, with server-side running the commands with pipes and keeping some state and history from which to render scrollback, but that's it.
Thanks for this, it's quite well done. It's a good model for tracking an evolving understanding of what may help as the situation (and the underlying disease) continues to evolve.
> The way for that pattern to arise without indicating a problem would be "psychologists only investigate questions with very clear, obvious answers". I find that implausible.

Don't throw the Seldon out with the bathwater. I think there is a very real chance that the problems psychologist address are extremely probable in the society they investigate them.
Extra platforms mean more maintenance effort of course and desktop platforms tend to be less forgiving regarding widget differences, which tilts the playing field against mobile-first toolkits.

Apple has the advantage of having visually converged for a large part, making differences less noticeable, and of course they control their platform.

I tend to think a desktop toolkit would have the best chance at providing a toolkit for both platforms. It’ll have to support touch input and other smartphone-isms either way, as Windows runs on tablets, Mac users expect flawless touchpad interactions and Linux runs on tablets and phones.

Imagine being the Apple executive that proposes voluntarily cutting app store commissions:

"So, what did you do this quarter?"

"Oh, I reduced the revenue of the whole company by 7% to reduce future risk to our revenue stream."

There's only downside, and no upside to your career by doing this. Much better to wait for external forces to do it and then it's nobody's fault.

PowerShell elegant? Wow. No way. I've written hundreds of thousands of lines of PowerShell on Windows over the years. PowerShell is great for one-liners and very short scripts. It also has many cool hooks into the OS that makes things more comfy. That said, as soon as you need to write a modestly long script or need something remotely performant, you're going to want to reach for the nearest pencil to shove into your ear. I'll take Bash with all its limitations and arcane warts every time. I vastly prefer Python to either Bash or PowerShell for anything serious.

A sterling example of PowerShell's inanity is its brain-dead, ivory tower implementation of function return values. Anything that outputs to stdout gets added to the return value object for your function. Forgetting for a moment how non-standard and unexpected this is, consider that it’s impossible to completely silence many, many Windows commands CLI programs and utilities. Even with all the silent flags, output redirection, etc. it is simply impossible to silence stdout. What you end up with is... you just can't ever use return values in functions since it's so unreliable. This, coupled with PowerShell's atrocious performance (it's the worst performing scripting language I've used by far) instantly makes PowerShell a second class language for anything apart from very small scripts.

I've never heard anyone call PowerShell “terse” until today. It is currently winning the competition with Java for “Language whose inventor is most likely paid per keystroke”. PowerShell's arguments are extremely verbose and lines tend to become quite long as a result.

Disclaimer: I’m a recovering Windows Admin and haven't used PowerShell in a few years. I'm told that none of these problems have been fixed, but I don't know for a fact.
> Summerlight's point was that if you take Apple's argument at face value (that iOS and the App Store are so tightly integrated as to be indivisible), then it boggles the mind that Apple could then turn around and sell you iOS (via an iPhone purchase) but not include the App Store in that same transaction.

I just don't see how your "then" follows from your "if" at all! The integration of iOS and the App Store is from a user's perspective. No one seriously believes that Apple is claiming that the two things are literally physically impossible to split up technically. You might as well be arguing that it boggles the mind for the calculator app to be free, but for iCloud storage to cost money!

Wow. Who could have imagined?
As far as I am aware Qt is the only cross-platform toolkit that has reasonable traction, and it has been successfully used by commercial applications. Other cross-platform applications are either so old that there was no other choice but to write their own toolkits, or they are web browsers where you might as well write your own toolkit since you already have to do much of the work to render the HTML.

Unfortunately, "well-integrated" and "cross-platform" are fairly mutually exclusive, kind of by definition. I'm not sure if the API model for Windows and macOS even have a generalizeable common model. (They might, they might not, I've not investigated, and it would depend on which of the many MS UI APIs you are using)
They did a superb job with Palm Pre/webOS, they did. Only they then gathered people to watch it live a painful death suffocating in Sprint exclusivity. It was like having delivered regular updates about a random person with terminal cancer. To this day I still don't understand why the public had to watch graphic death scenes of Palm and RIM each going down.

And for me in Firefox 91.4.0 on Android.
Do you happen to be using color management by any chance? Believe it or not (because this does seem insane), disabling full color management fixed the site for me. That is, I changed the setting "gfx.color_management.mode" from 1 (manage all colors) back to 2, the default (which only adjusts the colors of images with tagged color profiles).

It's bonkers, but I think I understand what's happening here, actually. Relatively recently, Firefox started color correcting the content of <canvas> elements. However, some sites will download an image, load it into a canvas created in Javascript, and then use the data for some other purpose.

In particular, Windy downloads a bunch of what appears to be wind data in the form of false color images like [1][2]. Presumably they are using this data to generate the wind animation on the fly in the browser. However, if they're utilizing canvases as part of that process, (my copy of) Firefox is changing the colors out from under them as part of the color management process. Presumably a large enough change in the colors would be enough to break the wind display code completely.

Could this be a hardware problem? I've been working on a WebGL project and often different graphics cards have different precision from 8 to 16 to 128 bits. I've seen similar quirks when precision truncates calculations.

Edit: Testing different hardware reminds me of the IE5-8 days. Sigh...

I was taught it comes from logic, and argumentation: the act of stating an exception proves a rule as stated (a rule is a claim to an axiom) is wrong. So it's in logic and philosophy, not Roman law.
It's worked out great for us. We use it as a flexible way to get exactly what is needed in a single request that ends up pulling data from a mongo database. It has not added any extra complexity. On the contrary it has simplified out backend and front end apps. We use go and https://github.com/UHN/ggql.

I wish that article was posted some months ago. I literally burned my eyes for a whole day trying to figure out why this Apple Thunderbolt Display refused to work with a HP 800 G4 SFF plus the Thunderbolt PCIe card and, when it finally showed some image, the brightness was at its maximum - after a while the thing was really hot.

Until finally I noticed the 'security' thing and set it to none, and could set its brightness to a lower setting and my eyes said thank you.
The gaming industry has a reputation for high levels of burn-out. Whilst the stock options might be nice, dilution and other effects are such that they generally end up being worth a lot less than you'd think and you typically need to pay large amounts of tax on the gains.

Reading your post, you seem to be disillusioned that your current environment is not the latest and you are enticed by the opportunity to work with the latest technologies. I also get the picture that you think that B2B is boring and that you think that B2C product companies are more trendy.

The question to ask yourself is: "Am I willing to disrupt my work-life balance. Learn some cool new tech. And find that the gaming industry is not for me. AND need to find a new job that is the happy medium between the two extremes that I am now facing. ?" ... and you'll probably need your wife's support for this adventure.
That’s how I interpreted “buttons, external links, or calls to action that _direct_ users to purchasing mechanisms” (emphasis line): that the user will be directed to an external payment mechanism outside the app.

Horse paste? It's not you specifically, but you're not the first person I've seen recently who has referred to it and didn't appear to understand what the substance is. Someone I know called it a "horse tranquilizer" in a conversation the other day. It's Ivermectin. It's a dewormer. It shows some promise, but more research is needed into its efficacy.

Anyone who has a baseline knowledge of medicine would call it a dewormer. It's pretty much the standard one. I feel like the fact that so many people don't have a mental compartment for a basic medical term like that nowadays really has a lot to do with how much trouble we've had controlling this virus. Of course an mRNA vaccine is scary to someone who doesn't know what mRNA is.

We're never going to escape this cycle without better science education.

There is a point here which really confuses me. This is an order by a California district judge. So that means it must only be valid in California? So Apple is allowed to keep its practices outside of that state? Or if not, then how can a California decision apply outside of the state? And why do none of the articles on this topic address this point?
At Garmin, we ran PalmOS as a process on top of our RTOS. Fun times.
Yeah, that's what gets me: it's obviously engineered to drive traffic one way without giving anything back to the community. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in APIs to interact with a black box. Until Microsoft makes Windows user-controllable, I will never treat it with respect.

I do see your point, however, and I hadn't thought it of that way; do you see anywhere the community might pick up on this for some benefit?

So pardon my ignorance in all things GIS, but it looks like Mapy.cz serves the tiles which are based on OpenStreetMap. On that Mapy.cz site, there is no style that is similar to Windy. The maps I see are "Basic", "Traffic", "Outdoor", etc.

I'm interested in the grey/outlines basemap like this: https://www.windy.com/-Weather-radar-radar?radar,50.310,1.15... . The shading around the coastlines in particular is exquisite.

How did they generate this grey basemap?
Does Mapy.cz offer the tools to generate such a map or do they just host the tiles?
