The article focuses on forcing USB-C ports (popular), but the proposal also unbundles chargers from products like cell phones (unpopular).

Apple and several other vendors already unbundled chargers from their boxes with mixed reception. Will be interesting to see how this proposal is received when people realize it means they’ll be purchasing chargers separately.
It counts, just not as much. Go look up “quality adjusted life year”.

>The platform it runs on is Windows 10, which is not deprecated. Microsoft provides an 'It Just Works' guarantee on Windows 10 for VB6 applications. It does not matter whether someone wants to maintain code. The company pays people to do it. Just like how there are many people who do not want to work on proprietary software but do it anyway because their employer pays them to do it.

My point is that every time I've seen scenarios like this with products stuck on unsupported platforms is that product is used but there's no money in actively maintaining it (or else it would have made migration plans in the last 12 years). This means you are likely getting shit money working on it, working on a legacy stack you won't use anywhere else, codebase is almost always shit, and the work you do is unrewarding. So crap projects by definition, and every testimonial I've seen so far confirms it.

I've worked on projects being stuck on tech close to EOL - they always had migration plans to upgrade to supported tech.
And with driverless cars around the corner, now is the time to integrate them correctly. The idea should not be to get in your Tesla at home and cruise on the highway and into the city to park at your office. They idea should be picked up at your house by an Auto that drops you at the lightrail station just in time to catch the next train into downtown, where you can hop in a 10 person driverless shuttle that drops you at the office after a couple other stops.

I mean, the real solution is to stop subsidizing suburbs, that are bleeding cities dry with the massive costs of infrastructure requirements and maintenance.

>“The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) estimates the cost at $5 trillion — but that's just for major infrastructure, not the minor streets, curbs, walks, and pipes that serve our homes. The reason we have this gap is because the public yield from the suburban development pattern — the amount of tax revenue obtained per increment of liability assumed — is ridiculously low. Over a life cycle, a city frequently receives just a dime or two of revenue for each dollar of liability. The engineering profession will argue, as ASCE does, that we're simply not making the investments necessary to maintain this infrastructure. This is nonsense. We've simply built in a way that is not financially productive. We've done this because, as with any Ponzi scheme, new growth provides the illusion of prosperity. In the near term, revenue grows, while the corresponding maintenance obligations — which are not counted on the public balance sheet — are a generation away.” [1]

I suppose heat flux is still a limiting factor that's independent of scale. Though things like liquid evaporative cooling (by "sweating") also become more practical with larger scale (more mass available). Not sure how big it would have to be though...
This is interesting, and it seems like the same coin of censorship but the other side. Censoring or fear or censorship already changes behavior. We have the more apparent China example and more covert USA example but both modify behavior through fear. Yeesh.
Alfred E. Neumann
There has been a large number of LiveView-like solutions pop up that are inspired by what we're doing. I tried to outline what makes Elixir uniquely suited to handle this kind of thing in the post, but I'll try to distill it here:

1. The concurrency and distribution model. Processes (light weight green threads) and extremely cheap, isolated, and concurrent. Process can message each other, and messaging is location transparent. So you can send a message to another process on another Elixir server using the exact same primitives as sending a message to a process on the local server. This allows for all kinds of things that are hard or not reasonably possible in other platforms:

- Start a process on a node in us-east1, and message it from Tokyo. This is simply built-in.

- Run a primary DB in us-east1, and RPC from your Tokyo instances to perform writes. The RPC mechanism is again built in. You have code running on another node, and you simply run your code over there and get the result. There's no marshaling of data structures, deploying message queues, protocol buffers, etc

- Using Phoenix Pubsub, broadcast a message from anywhere in the cluster, `PubSub.broadcat(:my_pub, {:new_msg, "hi!})` and it will arrive to all instances who are subscribed, anywhere

This kind of stuff can be made to work well in Go and Rust, but you need to bring in libraries and do more work. They are absolutely great at "network programs", but lacking the distribution primitives means libraries and solutions are usually more bespoke vs Elixir where everyone in the community simply uses what is provided out of the box. So there is no interplay of ops or dependencies to try to reconcile.

2. Processes support stateful applications. Most of the LiveView-like solutions still go over stateless HTTP because websockets and cheap concurrency aren't as viable. This drastically limits what you can do efficiency wise. For example, our diffing engine requires state to live on the server so we know what changed. If you simulate LiveView over HTTP by sending all the state from the client for every interaction, you are sending way more data, doing all the HTTP authentication, fetching the world, then sending the entire template back.

3. Process are preemptively scheduled and load-balanced on IO and CPU. This allows your LiveViews to perform blocking CPU bound work and the scheduler will make sure every other user gets their fair time share. In other languages like Node where you rely on evented IO, any CPU bound work blocks the entire program.

4. Processes are isolated. On the evented IO example, imagine your websocket handler in Node.js has an uncaught exception caused by a single user interaction. It brings down the connections for all connected users. In Elixir, all processes are isolated, garbage collected in isolation, so you aren't jumping thru hoops to handle these kinds of degradation modes.

Hope that helps!

Some people hated it, mostly Scots. In the south of England it was popular (I was there).

I have to repost https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28491963 :

My main problem with delphi: it is "too proprietary". It was a very productive ide in the 90's or early 2000's but lost their path and never recovered.

Some new versions broke compatibility with previous version's components. There was the case where you paid a good amount of money on some proprietary components and they simply wouldn't work in the next version: you were imprisoned in an obsolete ide. By not being multi-platform (I hear it improved it lately) you could only use it with/for win32 so it lost servers, embedded and mobile. By not being open-source nobody could improve it.

Then it had to compete with "native tools". Whoever develops for windows wouldn't quit ms' tools to use it, whoever develops for mac wouldn't quit apple's tools to use it, whoever develops for android wouldn't quit google's tools to use it, whoever develops for linux was mostly ignored after kylix.

Note that I didn't even mentioned price and license.

They improved it later, I heard. But seems more like the old case of too little too late. Most successful programming languages today are open source and multi-platform. Delphi was dependent on win32 for too long and it still is "too proprietary". You do the world a favor by porting your project to lazarus.

> The Spanish flu was previously the disease event that caused the biggest loss of life in the United States; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 675,000 Americans died during the 1918 pandemic, in waves of illness that stretched out over roughly two years in this country.

> According to STAT’s Covid-19 Tracker, Covid deaths stand at more than 675,400.

Why are we comparing raw numbers? If one disease killed 4 people in a population of 5, and another disease killed 20 people in a population of a billion, I wouldn't say the second disease is "more deadly." Not to mention life expectancy went from under 40 to above 70 in the last century, so we have way more elderly people around.
It worked exactly the way you've described until the advent of the industrial revolution and the trains. That's when all of England moved to single time, and other countries soon followed.

Something prone to procedural weaponization in the sense that strategic refusal to even consider redlined terms (the entire point of meeting of the minds) is rife.

I'd like to direct your attention to every piece of software's license agreement to which the answer to "decline" or "disagree" is to cease execution. Not to figure out what the person is actually okay with, and modifying execution from there.

Lest people think Apple must allow alternative IAP, or bypassing their commission.

From the court ruling:

> At step three, Epic Games has identified no suitable less restrictive alternative for Apple’s use of IAP based on the current record. The only alternative that Epic Games proposes is that Apple be barred from restricting or deterring in any way “the use of in-app payment processors other than IAP.” This proposed alternative is deficient for several reasons:

> First, and most significant, as discussed in the findings of facts, IAP is the method by which Apple collects its licensing fee from developers for the use of Apple’s intellectual property.

> Even in the absence of IAP, Apple could still charge a commission on developers. It would simply be more difficult for Apple to collect that commission

> Indeed, while the Court finds no basis for the specific rate chosen by Apple (i.e., the 30% rate) based on the record, the Court still concludes that Apple is entitled to some compensation for use of its intellectual property.
I don't get it. You should see what gets posted on Twitter, Craigslist, Nextdoor, Instagram, Facebook. Should Apple pull all those too? Will they pull browsers that allow you to visit these websites next?
Eating horse paste is a desperate measure taken by people struggling to maintain dominion over their healthcare decisions. Most patients who've taken matters into their own hands and gone yay for the neigh would have much rather taken Ivermectin packaged for humans prescribed by their doctors. That choice has been stolen from patient and doctor alike via bureaucratic action.

The loss of individual bodily autonomy, doctor-patient relationships, and dominion over one's own healthcare is at stake and those won't be easy human rights usurpations to correct.
They need to mandate the presence of a physical cable, otherwise Apple will drop the port and move to wireless charging. Wired cable remains important for high-quality audio and secure data transfers. Both WiFi and Bluetooth have a long and storied history of vulnerabilities.

While they are at it, can we please have a dedicated physical cable port for audio? It doesn't have to be TRRS 3.5mm, but it must be possible to have a wired audio/mike connection that is separate from wired power, without power-hungry dongles. e.g. an entire ecosystem of 3rd party audio devices was sidelined by the removal of headphone jacks.

Now that everyone who wants a Bluetooth headset has one, can we go back to the pre-Beats era of optional, high-quality wired audio? It can be restricted to Pro devices, if necessary.

I'm mildly annoyed by journalists calling "Spanish Flu" where the 1918 Flu Pandemic had no relationship with Spain. The author could have titled the piece as "Covid-19 overtakes 1918 flu pandemic as deadliest disease in American history" and later, inside the article include some kind of note about that in that time, it was called (mistakenly) "Spanish flu".

I'm not advocating for "cancel culture" or auto-censorship but it is tiring to have to remind some users that the source of the disease was not Spain.

From the announcement https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_21_... (linked in article)

> Today, the Commission is proposing:

> A harmonised charging port for electronic devices: USB-C will be the common port.

> Harmonised fast charging technology will help prevent that different producers unjustifiably limit the charging speed and will help to ensure that charging speed is the same when using any compatible charger for a device.

> Unbundling the sale of a charger from the sale of the electronic device: consumers will be able to purchase a new electronic device without a new charger.

> Improved information for consumers: producers will need to provide relevant information about charging performance, including information on the power required by the device and if it supports fast charging.

There's also a proposed 2 year implementation delay, before it comes into force. And a subsequent rule requiring charger-side USB-C ports, handled through a different regulator.
UK National AI Strategy
Same here. It was an era where the company I worked for was looking to transition to web. The web was NOWHERE near ready for a desktop-app like experience. Especially since the RAD crowd (VB, Delphi, etc) expected to drag and drop components on a canvas and wire them up in code. We saw that as the holy grail. Delphi apps were promoting a "briefcase model" client/server architecture. And we were sort leveraging that for salespeople in the field. They'd go out, do their work, and then get online to sync data when they could. The idea that they could just hit a web page and do up to the minute transactions over a dial-up internet connection was the new "holy grail".

Moving to the web meant Perl:DBI, then Python/MySQL, then finally PHP4.

I'll always have such a soft spot for those Delphi days though. Kylix too!
I had the exact same thought. Decided not to fill in with any PII for that reason.
Although I'm usually a bazaar man when it comes to talking about the Cathedral and Bazaar, in theory there can be some awesome cathedrals, too. A digital equivalent to La Sagrada Familia, if you will.

On the other hand, digital cathedrals are theoretically vulnerable to operating systems changes in a way physical cathedrals don't have to wrestle with as much (I guess maybe changing building code could be the closest analog?)
We may have differing concepts of what a certificate of authenticity is. To me, the certificate of authenticity is what guarantees that it can't be copied. That is the NFT with the uri that lives on the blockchain.

From the article:

Authentication prevents manipulation. Encryption is not necessary to do so (encryption often also authenticates).
Yeah, this article makes more sense. My grandfather put out the blue salt blocks every year so the cows would get enough cobalt (I remember asking teachers why salt blocks were blue until one knew why). That's why this all seems like nonsense, none of the farmers I know ever gave their cows B12 supplements or have even heard of it. Now their VET might have given B12 shots to the odd calf like that article states, that I would believe.
I understand why unbundling chargers from devices is unpopular, especially as charging cables move from USB-A to USB-C but honestly its the right call.

I currently have more than a dozen USB-A plugs (wall warts) lying around and who knows how many more I've already thrown away. Not once have I purchased a device that used USB-A and needed to buy a wall wart for it.

I will have to buy a few USB-C wall warts but i wont buy a dozen of them.
