How would this change the fact that Epic knowingly and intentionally violated a contract? The judge didn’t prohibit Apple from enforcement responses to the willful rule breaking by Epic. Apple said they’d reinstate Epic if Epic uploads a guidelines-compliant build. Epic instead said they’d upload a build that doesn’t comply with today’s guidelines. Apple declined Epic’s offer as it does not met the terms they presented, and withdrew the offer of early reinstatement.

If Epic hadn’t decided to posture and had just uploaded a build that complies with today’s guidelines - which do not, and are not yet required to, allow external purchasing links - then they would have had their account reinstated. They chose not to do so, in a flashy and demanding way, having no leverage left against Apple. Bad choice.

This is precisely the perpetual Catholic slander that Christopher Hitchens referred to regularly. A lie told by believers about several prominent freethinkers.
Apple's 30% cut is a cash printing press for them. Sure they have other business models like completely disposable, non-repairable, non-recyclable electronics, but the iTunes and App stores are significant profit centers.
Honestly, it fills the niche of not being LinkedIn.

LinkedIn is by far the worst user experience of any website or application I have ever used, one of the few that deserves the distinction of being both morally and technically broken. Not everyone is as drastic as I am, but in my circle it's universally disliked.

Gotta keep the evening lighter, especially now more people aren't traveling early mornings as much - which I always found a weird argument, not like you need the sunlight to be able to get somewhere. Most people (I would bet) want to finish work and be able to do things after.
Wait does this mean that the EU will also prevent the USB-if from charging licensing fees? Or is someone in the EU getting some kickbacks?

Not a single step? Please install trial of Little Snitch on your beloved Apple computer and observe. I see you don't like to listen, you just casually speak nonsense.

If this tread is showing reality of the level of critical thinking by the tech educated people, we are living in 1984 in full swing.

Attacking the author for sharing personal decisions which have factual data, disregarding arguments with personal "ease of use" points. Just totally out of touch and reality.

And when I think that most of these people are producing the software solutions of today - OMG.
You say that, but USB-A ports are close to 25 years old, and still plenty adequate for a lot of things, from headsets to audio interfaces to keyboard and mice. Devices with USB-A ports are still sold. I wish my MacBook Pro had some good old USB-A ports.
Just because something is annoying doesn't mean it should be regulated. Especially when that regulation is going to stifle innovation.

And right now we don't have a tonne of different chargers, we have two, both of which are good in different ways.
It is a big deal, though. Getting to the interview is the first hurdle.

There have been several variations of a famous study where they sent identical resumes to hundreds of companies, with the single change that there was a stereotypical "white" name vs "Black" name at the top.

The studies consistently find that the "white" names get far more call backs.

Granted, those studies were in the US, but I'd be very surprised if a similar effect did not show up in most European countries.
The ones who still own their data? If data is money, they can also afford to buy new phones. iXpand USB-Lightning drives are supported by some iOS apps which process large files, e.g. media playback and editing.

There's no need for everything to be lowest-common-denominator. Product management is not statistics, it is aspirational leadership for upward mobility in human values, including but not limited to function, form, and creative power. e.g. a tiny minority of humans create art for millions, yet both can use the same device + accessories, if devices are not neutered.
While we're at it, can we enforce some labeling standards? USB-C has become this mystery port/cable that might or might not be capable of video/data/charging at ? throughput. Earlier USB standards had this issue to some extent, but C takes it to another level.

> Slightly related to this, do you happen to know more about this topographic map [1] of Bulgaria and its surroundings?

This is the first time I see this map. I will definitely look into it.

The only official topo maps I know of are the ones produced in M1:5000 in the 50s to 70s and the M1:10000 produced in the 70s-80s. They're sold in a raster format by the sheet, so are completely useless to you.

Why do you think that? I have this setup on a modern (UEFI) computer, but I use the old BIOS/MBR interface.
You should give it a spin again. Notebooks _used_ to be a web view in VS Code. But we re-wrote them to use native UI elements and the performance is much better.
Finding a Foothold as a Plus-Size Climber
This is essentially the same solution, right? It boils down to having a single device that verifies the integrity of everything and never letting that device out of your sight. It's just marginally easier to do that when the device in question is an HSM rather than a laptop.
>oh wait that takes effort, everyone wants a low effort, idealistic (yet unfeasible), solution to the food problem.

This is what I can see is the problem in any of these conversations. Vegetarianism is the cure! And look! You don't really have to change your life that much! Lab grown meat is the cure! And look! You don't really have to change your life that much!

When did conversations about sustainability just completely drop the 'your life will have to be different' approach?

Also, lawn chickens are a good idea, but only as part of a concerted neighborhood effort.

If Mr. Jones has chickens, and Mrs. Smith has a milk goat, and Mr. Lee has an exceptional vegetable garden, and Mrs. Brown has apple and pear trees, then everyone can get what they need within their own neighborhood. Extrapolate out across the entire suburb, and you really have something.

(now I'm going to get really, really cynical) The problem is now that most people are selfish, self-centered, and short-sighted. There is no sense of community, and no sense of immediate gratification for working as a co-op to help the neighborhood succeed.
Same as it is for all the other regions?

Supply < demand. Why is this even a question?
Ha! I wonder which parts of Germany you mean? The cities I've lived in, the cities I know, and the city I live in now are not like that at all.
Yep—I'm a bit of an interface junkie myself, and I get an unscratchable itch whenever I hear how Iphones have some magic haptics where I could grope the screen in search of the buttons and actually feel them, or something like that.

Especially when PS Vita has a rear touch pad, on which extra functions are mapped in some games—and I can't tell which areas have the mappings, resulting in me either pressing the areas accidentally with my grownup hands, or missing them when they're needed. Or when Apple adds the touchbar instead of keyboard buttons, with none of that magic.
>USB-C wasn't even finalised until 2014; I can't remember how common USB-C was on phones before that, but Apple was using lightning for _years_ before that.

Everyone else was using micro USB for years before usb-C. So for years, every phone cable except Apple could also be used to charge your headphones, Kindle, Tablet, etc. It isn’t just phones we are talking about. When pretty much all devices are on one standard, and Apple refuses, that is where the e waste comes from. All my micro usb cables are still useful for random older products around the house. All my USB C cables are useful for random newer products around the house. My lightning cable is useful for exactly one item around my house ever at any given time. I have zero other uses for it. People don’t need to go out and buy new chargers and cables because they already have them for their other devices. That’s the whole point of interoperability.
do you have any more details. My first thought is "how simple" then "what am I missing"?
Facebook/IG is bigger than the Internet in many countries, because it arrives for free on phones, and because it arrived before people started generating web content in their locale.

For many of these people, Facebook == Internet.

This is not to discourage what you are saying, it’s just a note that what Safari shows is kind of arbitrary in the abstract.
Sure the wire can almost certainly handle it, but are the contacts always going to be able to handle 5A? They are very small after all, and not treated very nicely. Not sure how it's handled by the protocol, but I've known cables to get hot due to contact resistance.
How can you be so sure that whatever blood test is being done would detect a deficiency? Humans evolved to eat meat. The energy density is what gave us large enough brains to eventually develop civilization. Which is why a "healthy" vegetarian diet (one which does not result in malnutrition) comes with a laundry list of necessary foods and supplements, all of which could simply be replaced by eating meat as nature clearly intended.
At the rist of being the armchair skeptic, my guess is he was looking at some points on the map and looking for signals, and interpreting noise as "Look, that's the wire being tripped right there!"...
> Or course not, it's not like legislation is set in stone and will never change.

Go tell that to Moses.
A novel best-case scenario cost-benefit analysis showed very conservatively that there are five times the number of deaths attributable to each inoculation vs those attributable to COVID-19 in the most vulnerable 65+de-mographic. The risk of death from COVID-19 decreases drastically as age decreases, and the longer-term effects of the inoculations on lower age groups will increase their risk-benefit ratio, perhaps substantially.
FYI your pricing page currently has the lorem ipsum text where it would show "what's included" with each tier.
... By subjective, I do not mean KDE vs Gnome vs Windows Desktop vs MacOS Desktop and all the Desktop Apps. FOSS is more than these types of things, I don't care about that stuff, it's just noise to me, the less of it is the better... Values are subjective, I value different types of things, but at the same time I am aware the primary values that DEs and big desktop apps concern themselves with are the most important to a large set of users, and that's ok - but you are ignoring the values outside of that area.

It's like I'm using my bike to ride down a mountain... you are using your bike to do city racing and don't understand why skinny tires and fixed gear and foot straps are not important to me.
We tried Logtail in early beta and the experience was mind bending.

We used both ELK and Datadog before and over time I somehow stopped questioning why the logs are so slow. I thought we are simply hitting the theoretical limits of how fast searching in logs can be and unless there is a significant leap in hardware this is what we have to deal with. Then we tried Logtail and now we are migrating everything we can.

I’m really glad to live in one of the states in nearby Australia that doesn’t have DST.

I feel like people should just be encouraged to have a bit of flexibility to shift their hours how they want. In a lot of professional jobs, that’s basically the case, and a lot of ‘blue collar’ work happens much earlier anyway already (tradies etc. usually start at 6:30 or 7:00am as it is and knock off around 3pm. Plenty of cafes open at 6:00am to 7:00 am too because people are up cycling, jogging, etc. before it gets too hot. The swimming pool I go to to swim laps has different summer and winter hours. None of them need daylight savings to do any of that!

I just don’t get the obsession with changing the clock. It just makes things inconvenient…

I lived in Belgrade for a few months with a Serbian friend. Absolutely loved the city and the people. Found it to be incredibly affordable with a great night life, especially if you're in your 20s and want to meet university girls.

Language wise, most people under 30 had some basic English, I spoke almost no Serbian at all but still managed to get by at stores and restaurants. Internet is cheap and widely available.
It may, however getting a driving license is really easy compared to most countries. And rentals are not to expensive (ok these days are a bit different due to agencies selling all their cars and being stuck not able to buy new ones now).

A thin cable is much less waste than a wireless charger, which has a larger surface area and is still an evolving standard, e.g. magnetic docking, so it will be years of generational upgrades. Cables exist today and work much faster.

Should human time spent waiting for phone chargers be a metric for central planning regulation? e.g. what does a 100% speed increase in rapid charging mean for the economy, vs. travelers waiting at an airport or cafe, or running their car to charge their phone?

The laws of physics still apply to wired audio, networking and electricity, no matter how many billions are spent on glitzy ads for wireless.
Instead of attacking the person (ad-hominem), how about discussing the technical merits and deficiencies of the proposed solution to a real problem that no Linux distro has tackled so far?

I've been noticing how many recruiters have been reaching out to me with Ruby jobs. I try and explain that "Yes, I did Rails 2.3 and 3.x back in the day - but that was a LONG time ago". That doesn't seem to dissuade them in the slightest. Now, on one hand, recruiters are a hungry bunch. On the other, it's interesting to me how big of a need this is right now.

My guess is, that a ton of this stuff was built in the 2010s. Those Ruby developers have moved on... leaving a ton of infra behind. There's a desperate need for folks to come in and get to work on it. Most of these shops say things like, "all of our new stuff is in Elixir, but we still need to support all the old Rails stuff"

All I can say is, it's probably better than coming in to support VB... or COBOL!

Epic took a stand and we should be behind them 100%. This case was never about winning on the letter of the contract law, it was about moving the standard of practice and attempting to gain some ground against the evils of mega-Apple. If you are reading this Grubber post and thinking you agree, that's only because you are used to thinking this way by now.

The courts simply do not understand the power companies like Apple and Google have apparently. The startup cost of a competitor would be astronomical, as we've seen reflected in the quality, cost, and size of the small handful of other smartphone companies recently. Even if we seem new players become competitive, then what's to stop us from being back in this same situation in 10 years? 5 years? This is why we have Laws.

Not even to mention that the telecom companies are still working against progress and taking absurd cuts for themselves.

Hosting, platforming, and The Web are in crisis, as we're all aware. We should be firmly on the side of open access to our (developers) content. Why let the platforms eat our lunch? Maybe we should just be giving them a snack, or a little treat, but even that would just be for "services rendered", not as a condition for our meal.

I'm just so fucking done with this, sorry I can't help but be a bit angry.
Yeah well, it's time we need to get used to the fact that meat is a luxury, and not entirely necessary to a healthy diet. The least that could be done is reducing the sizes of portions.

Proteins can be found in many other foods, and vitamin B12 can be found in supplements.

Human can adapt to several types of diets. It's annoying because medicine and climate science and biology have to advocate for less meat, but it's very difficult to advocate against lifestyles.
From an article on History.com:

"The first real experiments with daylight saving time began during World War I. On April 30, 1916, Germany and Austria implemented a one-hour clock shift as a way of conserving electricity needed for the war effort. The United Kingdom and several other European nations adopted daylight saving shortly thereafter, and the United States followed suit in 1918."

Personally, I hate the practice and want it gone.
It's honestly very self-aware to accept that there are some biases that are very hard to control, or even realize you're being influenced by, and so try to avoid being influenced at all be putting barriers between you and them, like preferring no photos.

I think it's fairly self-deluding to simply think you can choose not to let an unconscious bias influence you.

(slightly) slower boot time. Risk of data loss if your USB fails, more complicated backup procedures.

They should have taken up the issue with the EU competition commission and asked them to issue big fines to Apple per day they don't allow competing app stores.

Apple made about 100 million (0.1 billion) from Fortnite. A lot of money, to be sure.

Can they please mandate replaceable USB-C sockets then because I see a shit load more broken ones than I do lightning connectors. And usually the infernal USB-C things are soldered into the logic board of whatever resulting in damage to that too. Also USB-C sockets are impossible to replace without very specialist tooling.
