Shameless plug but this is exactly what I'm working with my shell https://github.com/lmorg/murex

It's designed to work with JSON, YAML, CSV, etc so you don't need to remember jq syntax for JSON, awk for CSV, something else for S-Expressions and so on and so forth. It's the same commands (like grep) that work with all formats and are aware of the format.

It can work with tmux to give do stuff like if you hit `F1` it will open up a pane to the right with the man page of the command you're typing. So it's been built around taking UI lessons from IDEs.

But above all else, it's a $SHELL so it works find with all your existing CLI core utils. Which is more than can be said for the likes of Powershell.

There is a learning curve though because it's not POSIX syntax. I've tried to keep some POSIX-isms where they've made sense but redesigned things where POSIX was a little counter-intuitive (though that's a subjective opinion).

I've been using it as my primary shell for about 4 years now.
sounds like a case of stuck pixels
Some of the services I pay via Apple's subscription workflow is cheaper. Unbelievable, but true. Pocket is one, Evernote is other. However, they later synchronized their pricing to be cheaper everywhere, but it doesn't matter. It makes my life easier.

If I'm paying for a cross-platform service, I can happily use their own methods, but if I'm paying for an app-store only application which either runs only on iOS or macOS, good luck to them. I won't subscribe via their methods, because it makes my life more complicated.
> possibly even cause problems for Unreal on Mac?

I think this is unlikely. Mac gamers need Unreal more than games developed using Unreal need Mac users. Mac is an incredibly niche market for games - they're not going to rewrite their game using a different engine to run on Mac, and Apple knows that.

Of course, Apple could decide they don't give a shit about native Mac games, why don't you play our iOS games, but that just seems petty.
I agree that a breach of a test system with no access to sensitive information or digital property (information, source code, binaries, etc) and no ability to pivot from said test system to other systems should not require reporting. To pick an example, that's not what's happening with S3 buckets and Mongo instances (where vast amounts of personal and or sensitive information is being leaked). That's not what happened with Equifax, T-Mobile, Solarwinds, Colonial Pipeline, Pearson, CNA Insurance, etc. You have to hold the feet of these businesses to the fire, and if they don't perform, dissolve them after repeated regulatory failures (just as Arthur Andersen had happen after Enron's failure, or FDIC would part out a bank after insolvency).

Are you free to drive a car drunk? Are you free to shoot into a crowd with a gun?

What do you mean by freedom? You live in a country that has laws that restrict your freedom already; this vague grasp that you make toward "freedom" from getting a vaccine is so strange and silly
Thinking before writing would made it more obvious too.
Vaccines don't stop the spread. Look at Iceland. Any argument of the form you're making is invalid.

"We cannot conclude that X" does not imply "We conclude that not-X".
Fixed, typo.

The idea that enemies are made by enforcement of a public health mandate, and that that enemy creation is evidence of poor example of how to treat people and will redound....elides the rather obvious point that those who refuse to volunteer for vaccination in this context are exhibiting...poor treatment of others. In any kind of social context it is grotesque sociopathy. To accede to this notion of "enemy creation" is irrational and cowardly.

Cheers.
Messages are put into wax-sealed envelopes before being sent over the internet. This evidence is an open envelope with some wax on it.

This digital signature proves the message was written by a party to the communication, but it doesn't prove which one.

Encryption keys can be used to make digital signatures. Anyone with the key for this communication could've made that signature; not just the sender, but the receiver as well.

The share the short sellers are selling are borrowed from the available share. That is, if I want to short GME, I am borrowing someone else's GME shares to do it (and will repay them in GME shares). So the total demand should also be going up.

Imagine this situation. You are super bullish. I am super bearish. So I short 50% of the company directly to you. Okay, $$$ has changed hands, but you have the same number of shares and I have the same number of shares. You just also have a promise that I will deliver more shares to you in the future. I might make or lose a fortune delivering them, but I haven't altered the total amount of shares in the world.
Console developers on the other hand, are almost certainly next.
One of oracle quirks for me is varchar2. What happened to varchar1? Nobody knows.
I'm doing the same thing with a different approach. I'm rubber duck debugging my learning by typing things out and going into lots of numerical examples with the help of Python.

It's a very verbose way of learning but i can say i now truly understand Euler's theorem and Fermat's little theorem. I'm continuing this right now. The end goal will be to go deep on everything about RSA including the state of the art factorization algorithms.

There goes all of Apple's App Store revenue, a cool 25% of Apple's total revenue. Should have sold my stock!
Really nice handstands! I was also going to say you definitely can get very, very strong just doing calisthenics. Mike Tyson famously was doing pretty much all calisthenics until the 90s. Here's him fighting a 30-0 Spinks -- who reportedly didn't even want to leave his locker room for the fight he was so intimidated by Tyson -- training mainly calisthenics up until this point. I'd say Tyson was pretty strong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuaFIRD7_5Y

No knock on weight lifting though, it's great. But for most people getting on a yoga mat and doing some calisthenics is a lot more approachable than learning how to use a gym properly for their bodies.
That's horrible. Was that the doctors calling or some sort of CPAP monitoring company?
I'm not a DBA, but as a developer who's worked with Oracle off and on for the last 15 years, I can say that the error messages are frequently misleading, and do, indeed, sometimes appear to be actively malicious. With other databases, they're at worst useless.
"You don't have any assets in the scenario we're talking about."

I'm not aware of any country that will allow you to start a bank without any assets.

I'm sorry, I don't think any explanation I give will satisfy you, so I won't comment further.
Bialpio has a reasonable interpretation for court-speak. The fuller relevant quote is this:

"Having defined the relevant market as digital global gaming transactions, the Court next evaluated Apple's conduct in that market. Given the trial record, the Court cannot ultimately conclude that Apple is a monopolist under either federal or state antitrust laws. While the Court finds that Apple enjoys considerable market share of over 55% and extraordinarily high profit margins, these factors alone do not show antitrust conduct. Success is not illegal. The final trial record did not include evidence of other critical factors, such as barriers to entry and conduct decreasing output or decreasing innovation in the relevant market. The Court does not find that it is impossible; only that Epic Games failed in its burden to demonstrate Apple is an illegal monopolist."

Borski's interpretation is right under the "innocent until proven guilty" burden-of-proof in criminal cases. Bialpo's interpretation is correct in that this Court has not made, as a finding of fact, that Apple is not a monopoly, only that the evidence brought by Epic to this trial does not prove Apple is a monopoly (i.e. another case on this topic may be brought if more compelling evidence is available).
Oracle sells to executives, not technical staff.

Training on Oracle tech is via certified classes, provided “free” by your employer as part of their licensing deal; not online discovery.

Source: sold to and worked with Oracle Inc. for several years, got a front row seat at the sausage factory.
Apple already terminated Epic's Mac developer account for Unreal, and refused to reinstate it until the judge forced them to with a restraining order earlier in the trial. So they've demonstrated willingness to retaliate in this way. And now that the trial is over I think they are not bound by the restraining order anymore.
Think Apple has already seen the writing on the wall - both S. Korea & the US are now probably going to push back against the IAP restrictions, and they can / should do a couple of things, which might actually increase revenue.

1. Cut down the IAP commission to 15% for everyone.
2. Cut down the commission to 5% for those who pay for a Business Account, say at $5,000 a year.

The thing is no customer wants to use any company's half-assed bug-riddled purchase or subscription system. Every iOS and macOS user will prefer to use the Apple system. All Apple has to do is to make the rates competitive enough, that after considering building their own purchases system, factoring in sales tax and VAT, most developers will happily just opt for Apple's system if the rates make sense. Many people are putting up with 30% already — bringing the rates down to something reasonable with an upgrade path to put them on par with payment processors like Stripe (with VAT and Billing and Radar) or Paddle will just increase revenues for them.

The moment they drop rates and ease restrictions apps that are not being built because of these rules will get built, and these apps will gladly pay the market rate of 5% to 10% for a full service payments system.
This looks more like an advertisement than a useful blog post.

> Consider also that Docker relies on Linux kernel-specific features to implement containers, so users of macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, and other operating systems still need a virtualization layer.

First, FreeBSD has its own native form of containers and Windows has its own native implementation. Docker != containers.

I really don't see how Docker (or containers as we mostly know them) relying on kernel-features from an open source operating system in order to run Linux OS images as something to even complain about, and there is nothing preventing Mac from implementing their own form of containers.
Also the ability to ship an app as a single jar, would be great for casual tool making.

I feel like open offices are bad for me because I'm not an introvert.

I generally try and be friendly with my coworkers, which I think is not really a "bad" thing), but that's a double-edged sword in open offices: if I'm friendly with my coworkers, it's easy to get pulled into their distracting (though generally more interesting than work) conversations, and if I'm a bit introverted, I might be a bit more productive but I also might come off as "snobby" if I'm always just sitting there with noise-canceling headphones for six hours a day.

This may seem unrelated but I'm going with it; I did Emacs for a year or so and while I understood that you CAN go this way, I mean, "difficulty in getting there" matters.

"Do everything in Emacs" is an exceedingly short hop from "Maybe just write your own operating system."

It's possible to do "very extensible" and "easy to onboard" -- Obsidian.md is the "actually usable Org-mode" I've been looking for, YMMV.
Kids are the customers, parents have the credit card. Epic will have to onboard the parents to really make a dent.

What Epic wanted was their own separate store, and that wish is clearly shut down.
Developers will probably just use apple pay plus PayPal.

What’s wrong with that? Rust is great for writing websites. People may choose to make different tradeoffs than you.
Why, the curt said follow the terms of contract (Since the contract is valid). Why should you get a penalty because you legally have a chance to dispute a contract? You might need to pay the legal fees etc but the default must be to have the fair chance to challenge what you might seem unfair in said contract.
Arrghh, look at all the worms he shedded...
Will it support shipping apps as a single jar?
It's critically different.

If, as real property analogy, I have fee simple title to a parcel part of which is subject to utility easement, the utility company’s access within the scope of the easement is not an infringement of my right of exclusive control, it is outside of the scope of that right.

Similarly, most people who support laws that you see as “infringing” on the right of free speech who agree that a right with that name exists view the definition of the scope of that right more narrowly than the people who see the law as an infringement.
How dare they make their systems work so well together and easy to use.
Can people put 'free' apps on the app store, that then essentially ask for payment in app to proceed? Or perhaps, 'upgrade'? That would seem really annoying if every app started doing that.

Are you american? I'm just curious because that's the impression I get from "Massive respect".

The V-Bombers are very cool, of course, highly recommend Mark Felton's YouTube channel as he has some very niche stories about them e.g. simulated bombing missions of the east coast.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this ruling only applies for in-app purchases correct? E.g. Apple cannot force apps to default to and only use to its payment infrastructure for post-sale and within app transactions (which comes with 30% fees).

In other words if my app costs $10 and in-app transactions are $1 apiece, Apple still gets $3 from initial purchase but instead of $.30 from each subsequent in-app transaction, I could potentially keep $.97 (assuming 3% credit card fees).

If so I think the long-term impact will be most interesting in that will Apple raise its developer fee significantly and/or discourage "free" apps to cover its hosting, review, other overhead costs. It would also incentive app developers to become more like game developers: every feature becomes its own add-on/DLC.

On Oracle most of the error messages are bad, not precise enough or plainly wrong. Basic things like a wrong error line (failure is on line 3, displays 5 or 6), messages that aren't related to the real issue. You're pretty much on your own.

Also, I had to switch to DBeaver since Oracle SQL Developer made things worse with random crashes and freezes. Back when I used it, an easy way to freeze the editor was connecting to a DB via VPN and then suddenly disconnect. The connection gets stuck, parts of the UI get frozen and after a while the whole thing freezes.

MySQL/MariaDB and Postgres are better.
> There are plenty of options out there, and the capital required to start one is pretty low compared to something like a internet service provider or a train network.

A social media network with no users costs about as much as a single train station that doesn't connect anywhere: $0. They're also about equally useful.

A social media network with enough users that people can talk to their friends on it is enormously expensive. It takes a lot of advertising and pushing to build up that base. Probably not as much as a train or ISP network, but certainly far beyond trivial quantities of cash. Google+ was estimated to cost $585m, it was from a company with a major internet presence, and it still failed horribly.

You're also not considering that network effects heavily encourage a monopoly. If your cell phone could only call people with the same provider, you don't really have any meaningful choice. You pick whichever provider the people you want to talk to are on. In cases where consumers don't have meaningful choice, it makes sense to add additional protections for consumers.
There's no cost to freedom to taking it. There's a cost to freedom to be coerced into taking it.
Apple goes beyond not facilitating other businesses; they actively ban other app stores (because the only legit way to get an app store on an iPhone is to install it from their app store).
Very good point. I believe that the judge just gave a slap on the wrist to Epic Games with that fine (that's why it was equal to just the "back-pay") for breaking a contract (which is wrong, legally speaking.)

I believe the judge did this (just a slap) because Epic was right and Apple was anti-competitive.

I could be wrong though. I have very little knowledge of anti-competitive laws.
If an app has been blocked from the app store because it doesn't have In-App purchases (it has its own credit card form), do we know how this judgement affects things?

It sounds like the app would be allowed to link to an external payment system, but it's not clear if a non-Apple in app payment system would be allowed.

It's also not clear to me if In-App purchases (through Apple) could be required for approval into the store? I assume Apple would still have the power to require use of their payment system.
A full lockdown is not practical, nor would it be effective. SARS-CoV-2 has multiple animal reservoirs. So even if we could somehow eliminate it from all humans simultaneously (we can't), someone would just catch it from an animal again and the whole pandemic would restart. The bats which presumably transmitted it to humans in 2019 are still out there somewhere.
There is now a market force for Apple to make its IAP services better, which makes it more likely for developers to make apps with it (theoretically).
I don't think dependencies is the only benefit of containers. I personally like the isolation they provide and generally prefer running services in containers, even if they are using the same dependencies as my OS. I run Linux too, so I don't have to worry about any virtualization framework overhead.
So Epic cleared the path for others to take payments directly, but they're likely still banned forever. They really took one for the team here!
Keep missing the point. Any tool used IS the best tool for the job until it runs and someone doesn't make a better app with a better tool. The guy is probably a JS dev and he made this as a low-impact side project. It's a really hard sell to dive into C++ or picking up some obscure framework with fraction of the community just for the sake of this (see "sad state of cross-platform gui frameworks").

It's like someone posts a phone video of a new rare animal species and you comment "A DSLR camera makes infinitely better video, it's much better suited for the job, we keep normalising bad mobile phone videos, people should use the right tool and carry a DSLR around".
The material outside the dome is hotter than the material inside the dome. I agree it was a half-ass cleanup, but OTOH dilution and time are wonderful things. The damage has already been done to the local marine life.
Something that prevents me from adopting a lot of superior modern tools is that I need to SSH into a lot of servers and other machines that don't have the tools installed. I don't want to maintain the muscle memory and knowledge of 2 separate workflows & toolchains for the same tasks on different machines.

I'd like to see something that runs locally with my aliases, keyboard shortcuts, plugins, etc. and translates the commands to a remote backend, maybe similar to VS code's remote development.
