That covers pretty much every common scenario when travelling.

USB-C for a connecting to a dock, HDMI for a meeting room screen, USB-A for reading a flash drive.

Homer cars is a macbook with a bunch of stupid HDMI and usb-c to usb-a dongles hanging off it so you can read a flash drive or connect to a meeting room screen.
I guess it has to do with the fact that Epic has appealed the court verdict. I can understand that Apple doesn’t feel like doing business with someone who has an active legal case against them.
As the basis we offer our technology that works as a converter, it has only a positive effect. You can use our platform to upload documents, share with contractors, with the internal team and be sure that all these sensitive documents are marked with invisible marks, and in case of a leak using an investigation tool, you will be able to find the source of the leak. Additionally, we can help to mark documents sent via email our printed out, once again it has just a positive function for the company to be sure that all their info is under the control. With our technology, we want to help to create a preventive effect.
> (2) a declaration that (i) Apple’s termination of the DPLA and the related agreements between Epic Games and Apple was valid, lawful, and enforceable, and (ii) Apple has the contractual right to terminate its DPLA with any or all of Epic Games’ wholly owned subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or other entities under Epic Games’ control at any time and at Apple’s sole discretion.

Why do you think this is plain wrong?
>Just a reminder that we did know about global warming. We've been knowing for a long time.

That is not really correct and very nitpicky. We also know, that volcanic activity that releases those greenhouse gases were actually cooling down planet with catastrophic consequences to humanity that halted economic development. Not to mention, that there is also observation, that cities have higher temperature than in countryside(on average 2 degrees higher in north - 4-5 degrees hotter in south), where cows are generating methane gas. The scourge of 21st century is that human infested urban environment that has constantly hotter temperature than environment around it finally have reached significant enough coverage, so that it is now affecting rest of the planet.

Also, it is worth mention that there is a theory of Nuclear Winter, which is completely avoided in Civilization games.

All the greatest scientists in late 1970s were talking about coming of a new Ice Age. All the science fiction from that era is full of Ice age related stories. So, at the moment global warming is complete bonkers theory, that will fly out of the window as soon as there will be a sufficient volcanic activity level. So far there is also observation, that volanic activity has been going down while global warming has gone up.

The current theory of Global warming is very politicized. The data that lead to this theory was fabricated and opponents to this theory were silenced. And constructive criticism about reasons why there is a global warming is not possible. It is not as much as a theory, as it is a religion with belief system for something that has different natural causes. Besides there is some belief, that there will be high temperatures in equator, that render those regions void of life, while the reality is that highest rise of temperature is going to be around poles and that in turn will improve living conditions to people that are living there now.

The main reason why there exist theory about global warming is because it was a reaction to actions of Arabic Gulf countries in 1980s that halted economy of USA by creating fuel shortage. Suddenly Ice Age theory became defunct overnight...

Though, there are of couse good side effects to this new religion - fuel powered cars are cause for lead poisoning and ending usage of them will be better to health along with other enviromental changes.

When Sid Meyer was making his game, it was not yet known, that lands that are now under ice, would be rebounding and main body of that water will flow to equator(because of planets rotation and shape) to flood things more around equator than lands that are near poles. I did not knew about that either, but I always wanted to build some city on that Earth map in first Civilization, that was turning ocean tiles into land tiles in northern pole because of a bug.

How is the most wealthy company in the world in trouble? Epic made 5 billion last year most from a game that can easily be replaced and will eventually (they all eventually get replaced), Apple has 200 billion in cash just sitting there and makes 60 billion a year on average. They are not even close.
I personally think Old World does have the "one more turn" effect at its best, as in the game is interesting and you always want to see what will happen the next turn. But it's less of a time sink than Civ. Just as Old World focuses on a specific era of history, it also shortens the game length - the max is 200 turns, but you will often find the games last in the 100-120 turn range. And then there's a "double victory" condition that gives you a victory once you're so far ahead that the outcome is decided.

Agreed, the guarantee that str only contains valid UTF-8 is nice and justifies a separate type, also the API hint ("this is expected to be an UTF-8 string, not a random bag of bytes") is a good thing. I don't know what the Zig team's stance is on builtin types vs stdlib wrapper types (assuming this can be expressed in a stdlib type, but I think it can), but either way it probably makes sense to introduce such a wrapper type relatively early (even if it's incomplete) to guide APIs towards using this.

Btw one thing that Zig has over Rust is that string literals are zero-terminated for C-compatibility (so the proper type is actually "[:0]const u8" - which is a "sentinel-terminated array"). This is in addition to strings being slices (pointers/size pairs), so despite being zero-terminated it doesn't inherit C's problems.
Agreed fully.

Except I believe that there’s a deeper cause here, the misalignment between the interests of the actual users and the company to whom the users aren’t actually a source of revenue except by numbers that can be shown to advertisers and investors. (Further down this goes to our expectation of free service; it was all fun and beta at first but it turned out to be a trap.)

Importantly, providing human service will address a symptom but not eliminate said misalignment—it’ll keep manifesting itself.

None that I feel comfortable posting to an open board that is so monitored.
It was also in Civ 1. Industries and nuclear war would create pollution on the map. Would appear as a black cloud over a tile. You could send out a settler unit to clean up the pollution but it was a slow process. If the map accumulated too much pollution, global warming would happen. A random plains tile would be changed to desert. Or a coastal tile would become a swamp.

It wasn't too difficult to stay ahead of the pollution curve in the late game as long as you didn't have a war. But there was one memorable game where I had a massive nuclear exchange with Gandhi. Created too much pollution. The world become a wasteland because I couldn't clean it up in time. And the AI didn't clean anything on its own, iirc. I won the game, but it was such a Pyrrhic victory.

This was probably 29 years ago. Playing obsessively on my old Mac LC. Still remember it because it was the saddest game session I've ever had. I won, but there wasn't much left at the end. Broken cities and the earth was dead.

Afaik with `--header` you can only pass extraneous headers, not the METHOD or URL.
Are they still extending the language? I remember that working with strings was somewhat frustrating, for example RegExes were not a thing without external libraries...
Specialized string types like Path, CStr and OsStr are stdlib types though (as they should be), not built into the language (AFAIK at least). Such high level "API enforcement" types also make sense in Zig. The question is rather whether something like Rust's 'str' should be builtin or also provided in the stdlib.
That won't work. They will have to include an USB-C port, wireless charging or not.
Getting rid of subsidies would be a very good start, and I suspect farmers in poor countires don't get subsidies.
Ask HN: Under pressure from industry, how can academics protect themselves?
Our group (western Europe) has submitted a review on a device that generates a lot of money (i.e. US multibillion $ industry). Our results speak mildly against the use of said device, with low confidence in the evidence presented.

Since the inception of the study, our corresponding author has been queried multiple times by a VP of the relevant company through email, asking us to share our data (which we refused). Since submission, the VP is asking for a meeting in person and there are rumors of them not being happy about our results (which remain unpublished). We did not respond. In the meantime, the company also reached to our head of dept to express their worries about our work.

We are worried about potential retaliation on publication. Our boss (head of dpt, tenured prof, not an author) told us not to worry and discouraged us from seeking legal advice. Neither the study nor our group are financially supported.

We are affiliated to a teaching institution, but not to a university directly and do not hold academic/teaching positions. How can we protect ourselves? Are there organisms specializing in / providing (free?) researcher protection?
Such drama. We've evolved over millions of years brains so large that we now think that eating food is murder. Our "monkey" ancestors are laughing at us.
> All that is true, but - we also don’t force farmers to internalize the externalities created by their industry.

The net externality is probably positive, and if you want to start evening the slate using externalities then farmers would deserve a subsidy (which is bad policy).

Food is about as high on a supply chain as it is possible to get, and the entire downstream supply chain would count as an externality of the farmer's activity. If farmers didn't produce food we'd all starve to death, but that is absolutely not priced in to how much they get paid.
> Is that how it is supposed to work?

Yup, the judge ordered Epic to pay some millions to Apple in damages.

So it said something like, Epic was wrong to do what they did and did break their contract, but also said from now on that Apple can't prevent devs from steering customers to outside the App Store payments.
Ahhhh the Rogue Wave standard libraries! CORBA! The ACE Reactor Library! We had all that in 1998, kiddos.

That was a stunt.
I don’t think Epic intended to win the lawsuit. It’s part of a broader strategy to force lawmakers to change app store rules.

Children can fairly easily have a vegetarian diet without any issues. There are a few things to look out for (enough vitamin B1, B12, iron and protein), but if you provide fish, eggs, tofu, tempeh, and legumes this is not generally a problem. Most store-bought meat replacements (vegetarian meat balls etc.) have those added already.

Veganism is a different beast and requires much more care (and probably advice from a dietician). Vegan children not getting the nutrition they need seems to be a point of concern for many health care professionals.

I would wager that most national nutrition centres provide useful guidance on vegetarianism or even veganism by now based on up-to-date research — the Dutch Voedingscentrum does¹.

I think that's the wrong answer to a real problem. Instead of trying to prop up an equally-powerful entity to address power abuses of another powerful entity, why not decentralize power in the first place?

Why should there be megacorporations or nation-states to begin with? They seem to be causing more problems (massive inequality, environmental destruction) than they are solving.

The company that buys the remains of Epic can carry on with the lawsuit, I guess.
This lawsuit will cost Apple way more than Epic. It might not hurt Apple that much as a percentage, but in absolute terms it will hurt them plenty. There is a reason they fight this so fervently.

We are not going to be stuck with usb c for decades. Good grief. If a significantly better technology comes along that requires a new connector I am sure new legislation can make way for it. That said I don't support laws like this. I don't like laws that limit possibilities for consumers. I prefer laws that expand them like right-to-repair and network neutrality when it comes to tech.
> Which is all probably already the case.

Remember - my comments about policy were a response to this:

> It probably makes more sense if we view the FDA not as a monolith but a collection of lots of individuals, some of which don't communicate or work together directly.

The comment I was replying to implied that the discrepancy was simply due to disparate groups of people not in communication.

Your view now seems to be the opposite - it is that they are in communication, and have a policy but that subject matter is complex and will legitimately generate the range of responses we see.

If the only connection to "meat" is the initial stem cell gathering then you may be right that it's not technically vegan but I can't imagine most people would care about that
There are two ways how to handle this.

1) legislation forces a standard upon every device maker. Because technology advances all the time legislation will have to change the port every ~10 years. This might happen or not, potentially forcing device makers into building obsolete tech into their devices.

2) make a law which forces device makers to hold regular meetings/whatever to decide upon themselves which port they want to use. The port that gets 51% or more of the votes becomes the standard. If two consecutive rounds of voting can’t find a standard legislation will decide the standard.

It's kinda sad that Microsoft pawned all Delphi devs to start .NET. It basically killed it, together with c++ builder and all other VCL frameworks.

However, I'm doing a big project using Lazarus and free-pascal (the GPL version of Delphi/VCL), and it's amazing, the IDE has been getting improvements continuously for more than 15 years and now I believe it's better than Delphi, very stable, amazingly fast and also multi-platform.

Epic isn't going anywhere, the appstore wasn't a very significant part of their income. They wouldn't have picked this fight if they couldn't afford it.

As a libertarian, you would surely agree that leveling the playing field (with regulations and technical solutions) is a good thing. What do you think about hosting coops such as those listed on libreho.st or chatons.org federations?

Your capitalist reflex might be to dismiss self-organized, user-oriented coops... but they seem to provide better service and support than most commercial services i've dealt with.
Implying that because you satisfy the criteria of one moral principal means that all other moral principals are void is nonsense-think.
Lower Decks is good, it is done by people that really liked the old ST series. Sometimes, I am not sure if it is mocking some of the ST tropes, like the two-hand punch, space anomalies and so on. Still light years better then Discovery (which is totally not cannon in my mind).
>Its main competitor was of course Visual C++

Visual C++ wasn't visual. Perhaps the main competitor was Visual Basic.
The whole stunt was planned by Epic well in advance. Offering an outside payment option without lowering the price would have undermined their entire argument.

Make no mistake, when the dust settles, consumers will pay the same amount, but Epic will get to keep more of it.

There is nothing wrong with Epic wanting to increase its margins, but doing so under the rubric of helping the customer does get under my skin a bit.

I read his post as a criticism of how little optimistic updating is done in web apps, and how bad the user story is. Why can't it be easy to build every app as a collaborative editing tool without writing your own OT or CRDT?
I can think of many more ways, one of which being to just let companies decide which port to use without enforced coordination.

I think it's way more likely for new port technology to advance if a OEM can immediately put it in their next product to validate it in the market than waiting for coordination.

If someone designs a new port that is way better, how will they convince other manufacturers at the regular meeting that this should be the new one if it's not even tested in the market?

What you're proposing are two "design by committee" ways of handling this and making it look like there's no other way to handle this or that the status quo isn't better than the proposed changes.
