Yes! Long writing versus short writing has nothing to do with the absolute number of words used. It has more to do with context and topic.

Comprehensive analysis of World War 2? Tens of thousands of words would be too short.

The way I read it (which might be wrong) was that the developers could put links to external websites in the app, but not necessarily require that the transaction be allowed to occur in the app itself.

In the case of Fortnite, Epic could include a link to their online store where you could buy V-Bucks that would be linked to your Fortnite account. This link would open in Safari, but could also be done on any other computer.

Under the old rules, Epic couldn't do this. Nor could Netflix send you a link to their webpage, or Kindle a link to the Amazon web site to buy a book.

Maybe it's the legalese, but the phase "direct customers to purchasing mechanisms" makes me think that the judge is referring to these external methods.

But as I mentioned on a sibling comment, I'm really unsure as to what is meant by "In-App purchasing". Is this Apple's mechanism, or any mechanism? It isn't clear to me, without more context. There may be a couple of interpretations.
Asking if a publicly traded company this big is good or bad is pointless. A corporation is psychopathic; if it goes Patrick Bateman or Dexter Morgan depends on the environment.

The current environment incentivizes expanding the developer ecosystem, hence DX investments.
The ability to use Apple Pay on the web more seamlessly than I can use Stripe on the web will probably be Apple’s killer feature in this area. I’ve already noticed a change in my purchasing behavior because of it.
Honestly, underpaying employees should be viewed no differently than any other for of theft, and executives willfully allowing it to happen ought to be facing time behind bars for it.

I worked for Yahoo Travel from 2004-2011 including on Trip Planner for several years, AMA? If they were talking about the mobile app thing though, I don't really know about that, that was done by another group with our data and then AFAIK left to wither on the vine; Yahoo's mobile strategy wasn't ever clear and never worked out for the lower importance properties like Travel. Travel itself got turned into a 'magazine' property with just articles then fully killed after I left.

To add a little blurb about what Trip Planner was, you could make a Trip (yahoo login require), and you could share with your friends (I believe we had read-only or read/write permissions) and make it public or keep it private. A trip had two main parts: the plan and an (optional) journal.

The plan would let you add items such as a hotel or point of interest or restaurant from our catalog, your flight details perhaps, or just a city, and you could also add your own items if you wanted to stop somewhere not in our catalog. You could also add notes to the items, and schedule them. You could see them all on a map and do multipoint driving directions (which was cool when we did it!). You could add things from the trip plan page, or while browsing our site Y! Travel was like 1/3rd a booking frontend for Travelocity and later someone else, 1/3rd a travel guide like TripAdvisor, and 1/3rd other stuff like Trip Planner; the travel guide section add links to add stuff to your trip plan or view other people's trip plans that had that stuff in it.

The journal was more or less a blog thing; text and pictures etc. Some people would work on these while on their trip, but probably more would fill it out when they got home as a way to kind of remember and share their experience.

Public trips had a comments section (optionally) and there was a 'like' button, the owner could add tags, but others could also add tags. All the web 2.0 junk.

Courtesy of the Internet Archive, here's someone's trip that was highlighted at some point: their trip plan https://web.archive.org/web/20111027022849/http://travel.yah... and their trip journal https://web.archive.org/web/20111103064256/http://travel.yah...

I hate to admit this but there are definitely still a few sharp edges. (What happens when you re-define types across compilation units? What happens when you want to back out of a type definition?) With that said, our criterion for shipping was "did it become useful for our purposes?" and the answer is "yes." So, there's still work to be done, and we'd love any feedback at all that would improve your experience.
The latency on this is really low, meaning good! Well done!
It's not that they don't think they can afford to pay fairly. It's that the decision makers are incentivized to cut every possible cost and are rewarded for it with multimillion dollar bonuses.
At that point why do we care about "invisible?" let's just go whole hog "idiocracy" and tattoo barcodes on people. Encode a central registry key for universal ID, and things of immediate use like blood type, sensitivities, birth class, genetic fitness score...
I mostly agree with you, but what about the company's autonomy? This isn't coming from the company, it's coming from OSHA. What will the penalty be for companies who don't comply?

I wonder how long there won't be a legal penalty? Biden was visibly and audibly angry when talking about the unvaccinated. I caught a clip of a late night talk show host laughing about denying healthcare to the unvaccinated. The audience laughed. There is some serious demonizing going on right now.

edit: I realize now that I drifted from the original comparison with abortion rights. Although, I don't think the person seeking the abortion is prosecuted either (in most cases).
This is great to see, particularly as WhatsApp currently handles this entirely incompetently despite claiming that the feature exists, providing no accurate or sane documentation about local backups. I recently had the issue for the second time of losing over a year of messages due to dysfunctional WhatsApp backups, about which I wrote a blog post of complaints/rants [1].

The user, as far as I can tell at least on Android, currently has no viable option besides uploading their messages, unencrypted, to Google.

The good version of this wouldn't be about making it easier or faster, it would be about making a sandbox for semi-structured social fantasy trip planning.

Trying out a new system for rotating pills from a keychain pillbox in my hiking pack to my weekly pillbox, so I don't find gross old pills in my pack.

Testing out the backup hiking ham radio, which I managed to cram into a pocket camera case with an extra battery.

Trying a budget pocket tool I picked up at the store, which IDK, it ain't exactly a Victorinox but if I left it on the trail I wouldn't mind too much.

Figuring out some kind of pace-beeper for when I go hiking, to help me slow down before I hike myself to death when I'm trying out soviet cosmonaut supplements. Maybe try out a low-code Android RAD tool for that one.

Calling out on simplex like crazy, see who comes back.

A ham radio friend gifted me an APRS cable so I'm hoping to get AndFlMsg up and running on my phone again, try out some MFSK or APRS hijinx with him if possible. Otherwise possibly just confuse locals who are used to human voices.

Figuring out the magic ingredients in Skittles and Sour Patch Kids so I can maybe take that stuff in pill form when I need the energy, rather than rotting my mouth out.

Man, I sure am glad Curtis and the Wright brothers didn't take this stance after Lord Kelvin claimed "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible" before they proved him wrong less than 20 years later.

Or NASA when Lee Deforest claimed flight to the moon was impossible "regardless of all future advances."

Or when Einstein claimed ""There is not the slightest indication that nuclear energy will ever be obtainable."

Etc. etc.
Yes in fact in many domains there are standards that can be ransacked for appropriate domain sizes. The problem is that it's a chore to dig these out, data architects would sooner just guess some numbers.
If that's the case then my understanding of the event is wrong.
Do you provide concrete "definitions" to people that don't/wouldn't understand? How would you handle a child asking you about something beyond their years? Would you just respond with a textbook definition and say "lol sucks to suck"? No, you'd use language they could understand, and you'd guide them as that language increased. This is the difference between "teaching" and "just saying things to sound smart".

It's actually insane how hard programmers want to gatekeep even basic concepts.

I assume your request is in good faith.

Within one year there appears to be myocarditis at a rate of 16 COVID deaths per 1 myocarditis case. To my understanding this rare side effect appears to occur within be first two weeks post shot, while the body metabolizes the mRNA and other components of the vaccine. Myocarditis also occurs with some other viral infections, and is concerning though not as concerning as the effects of COVID.

After that time period, you have immune response to the spike components. If that is associated with long term side effects, one would anticipate similar immune responses after the virus itself.

I am aware there is a claim that everyone with the vaccine dies in two years, based on rodent studies.(rodents live 18 months). Beyond that I'm not sure what information is out there regarding longevity. I would be happy to review sources you may suggest.
This is so stupid I don't even know what to say. Geishas have kimonos hence expressions involving kimonos are sexist?

Samurai also wear kimonos, as do priests and sumo wrestlers. Sure, the general public is uneducated but come on, this is reaching.

I seriously doubt most people even make the connection between geishas and kimonos. In fact, most people don't even mean kimono when they say kimono, they mean a vaguely asiatic thin robe, pretty popular in the 80s.

That also makes more sense for the expressions, since they are easy to open. An actual kimono takes 10 minutes to open, it's probably the least sexually suggestive garment in the world.
Whoa, nice. I want to give Remmina a try. What kind of interesting things could you do with plugins?
In my opinion, this is actually a question of values. My position: absolutely not, but I take it as axiomatic that Microsoft (et al.) are incapable of any actual "good."

This is simply Window's attempt to build a new walled garden. If they were actually serious about advancing the state of civil computing, they'd make the NT core available as a microkernel that can be modularly placed into the Linux ecosystem. That is the _one_ thing I can think of which might raise my opinion of them (and I'm sure they lose sleep at night, knowing they haven't got my endorsement).
What would be the cap for losses from losing PII.

Credit cards generally have one use: payments. Usage is not difficult to quantify. The card is generally worth the same to whomever is in possession of it.

PII has a multitude of uses. The prices offered on the black market for PII do not reflect its value to those that it identifies or those from whom it was stolen.
I'm not the least bit surprised. I was involved in the dance business long ago, and the top dancers danced in an effortlessly elegant manner. Beginners danced like drunk cows, and there was every level in between.

Some people learned faster than others.

But nobody was born elegant, and dancing smoothly and elegantly required endless hours of practice, and relentless attention to detail. You'll find even ballroom champions still spending hours going over how to take a step forward, again and again.

BTW, it isn't about making it look easy. It is easy when you've practiced it enough.
Either you take a massive dose of radioactivity (nuclear war means several nukes) and suffer horribly 'till death or you starve because nuclear winter.

I have read about it a long time ago so don't quote me on this, but a nuclear winter is supposed to last at least 5 years.
Do you have the financial means and space to store that much food and rotate it regularly? I don't and frankly I'd rather not bother.

Once nuclear winter is over, do you know how to grow your own food? You might not be able to hunt because all animals will either be dead or killed by other hunters.

This scenario is very very hard to overcome. Not impossible, but only a few very prepared and or very lucky individuals would survive.

> Letting covid 'rip' through the remaining unvaccinated population

Aren't unvaccinated individuals the ones who made this decision? You may disagree with the conclusion of their dubious risk analyses, but if you choose not to get vaccinated then all bets are off.

Or is it that the risk that the unvaccinated pose to the vaccinated are so high that they warrant strong arm solutions?
Can you elaborate on how/why you came to that conclusion?

over the past few years my use of weather apps + forecasting has really been improved by reading alongside them the local NWS office's "area forecast discussion"which is published multiple times a day by the station's meteorologists: https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?new&wfo=...

It's really great to be able to contextualize the state of a Windy map, for example especially in Seattle where the weather patterns are tightly influenced by the Olympic mountains and other local conditions which these global maps usually fail to capture or express well.

Windy is impressive stuff but looking is half the battle with these maps, wind directions and "that weather blob is orange right now" only really go so far when your weather area's geography isn't simple; in fact, i think that the older static Weather Channel style maps which expressed the pressure gradients and fronts better and helped you build a model of what the weather is doing rather than which way the wind is blowing. (see https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/journeynorth.org/images/g... for an example)

I guess that's never money that they need to pay out to anyone, so there's no difference if someone "uses" the money on the Oyster or not
I agree. It also allows the judge to slap them without agreeing with the other side. Epic didn't get anything they really wanted. This change will not make much difference. No change to single app store model. As far as I can tell, Apple will have to allow communication in the app about payment through other means. That's it. I think it is likely that Apple will require apps to offer Apple payment as an option alongside the new communication about an external payment system. That is just a guess on my part, but it wouldn't be surprising.

If I guessed right, Apple's income probably won't go down much. I would rather use Apple payment system. Lots of other people will also. It is simple and allows me one-stop management of subscriptions and purchases. Some folks won't of course, but it is the easiest choice.
No wonder nobody laughs at my jokes!
Yes, you’re right. I worded my post for the sake of glibness and not clarity.

I think what’s particularly fascinating is not the relentless drive for more profits, that’s been hashed to death and I have nothing original to offer here, but how the internal narrative of “we can’t afford to pay them” holds in cases where it’s transparent bullshit. Of course Google can afford to pay its temp workers a fair wage, and of course they don’t want to. It’s just surprising that the story they tell themselves is so trivially falsifiable.
Pick something controversial on the subject, explore alternate viewpoints and dig deep enough to form your own opinion. For example, when learning about nutrition, whether Keto works or not is a good controversy. One might start with Gary Taub's book, read its reviews and criticisms, read the source material that is cited by the proponents and detractors, read papers cited by those papers, until one is comfortable forming their own opinion.

Controversies are found at the cutting edge of most fields and analyzing arguments that take the "settled" knowledge in the field and still reach contradictory conclusions provides a lot of insight into the body of knowledge in the field and how much of it is really settled.
I highly recommend people read the law review article, it’s extremely non-lawyer friendly.
Can you provide some examples in US / EU of people being charged for selling vulns on "black market"? Otherwise it's just baseless FUD.

I guess far bigger problem for researcher would be to actually not being scammed while selling and this is why companies like Zerodium have their marketshare.

Yeah someone could pay to you in crypto, but chances that you'll just gonna be scammed are extremely high.
I would assume that thatfrenchguys is talking about his guys who are French.
Until these systems start aging and are no longer interoperable with more recent versions. It's not like Apple is giving us a bash like experience where things just work for decades.
Yep, ham radio operators do a lot of magic with radiowaves, even at really low power, and then talk about weather over those connections.
Yeah, another one I haven't worked out yet is opening mulitple files from shell. So far this is what I can come up with:

@(Get-ChildItem *.ts | foreach { $_.Name } | Join-String -Separator ' ') | foreach { nvim -- $_ }

But even that abomnination doesn't quite work.
Good point. I'll consider that. I've actually considered just getting a deadlift mat with bar and weights. I found deadlifts to be by far the most effective lift of them all. Huge return on smallest time investment.

It's because WSL2 abandoned the initial goals of WSL1 and just did a VM instead.

Do you know why Oyster cards are so seamless?

Presto in Canada is built on similar technology, but no existing implementations were used because it's more expensive that way (thanks capitalism!)

For us, the tap takes half a second. If a queue forms, you'll be waiting awhile. It takes 2-3s if your card is in a purse, too.

Purse notwithstanding, it probably takes that long because the balance is not stored on the card. A round-trip to an external server is required.

Worse yet, if you try to use a freshly loaded Presto card on a terminal that is not internet-enabled (read: city buses), you cannot, because the offline terminal is only synced once a day. Don't even get me started...
I've been using this for a few years to plan out sailing trips. It has been very helpful and accurate to predict wind conditions.
Yeah bummer. My old Windows machine won't be upgradable to Windows 11 ... interestingly I was able to install the Windows 11 preview and even get the WSL2 update with the integrated X11/GUI and it worked great. However I was notified I couldn't upgrade to official build and the only recourse was to re-install Windows 10.

I'll need to revert to one of the available X11 servers but I wiped out the old configuration and it's kinda painful to automatically set $DISPLAY and also get Norton Firewall to play along.
>my salary history led me to be significantly underpaid for most of my career.

I feel like this misses the point of the article. The author claims its important to enjoy what you're working on. They make no claims that doing so is a way to maximize your salary.

I know tech gets paid well now but that wasn't always the case. Decades ago people went into medicine or law or finance if they wanted to optimize for pay and prestige. Only relatively recently has tech joined that list.
