I have experience with the Apple review process.

It's very common for an update to not respect rule X since there are literally thousands of rules.
First you can appeal/answer them (like you did).

In the scenario where they still reject your update you can still make a new executable by bumping up the version identifier.

Try to make some change that answer their previous objection.
In this case I would add/change a line in the description or title of the app specifying is for blind users.

You could modify the feature to their demands but I'm not sure it applies in this case.

Then you submit again.

You will get a new human reviewer which may have a different opinion from the previous reviewer who rejected you.

Be kind and respectful but keep appealing/resubmitting/explaining/asking what you can do.

Don't give up.

It's very time consuming but usually you will always get meaningful updates published in the end.
The people I got on Signal that dropped it (and not everyone did, it stuck for all my in-laws), did so because everyone was on WA anyway, including the people they used Signal with. But they all confessed that the usability was comparable (except for that pincode, which I turned off for some people that didn't understand it and when I explained, didn't need it).
Is it possible that Signal don't want to go down this path as it potentially puts them at the whim of the demands or requirements of paying businesses? Which demands/requirements may not be aligned with the degree of privacy which set them apart from other messenging apps.

If not this, could another reason might be that they're still a small team and this, along with the other changes that would presumably need to come along with it (accounts that aren't tied to a phone number), are what are holding them back.

What a bunch of bullshit. At least sovereign citizens whose claims were (allegedly) based on the US Constitution had some valid points.

> “The Moors claim to be about Black liberation and opportunity, and uplifting Black people,” Ms. Little said in an interview seated on a staircase inside her house. “But he is literally oppressing me and taking what’s mine as a Black woman.”

No, it's not hers "as a Black woman", but as the rightful owner.

Just kick those bums out.
If it's just crud. Create a minimal API that handles it to show the difference.

Which programming language? There was some work shown in .net recently
I believe the 1% of nominal output is a reasonable ballpark for cooling requirements after a reactor is shut down. 1% of 1MW is still 10kW. You probably don't want to transport that in a briefcase.
> So, an appeal to tradition is all you have?

Hmm, no, sorry if that's how it seemed. I mean the tens of thousands of books, talks, testimonials, etc, that make specific claims like attaining freedom from suffering using various specific strategies and meditation practices.

> You need reasons actually grounded in preferably personal practice.

My personal practice is a few thousand hours of meditation. It's obvious to me that the practice is working, but I can't say exactly what it's doing to my brain, and I can't prove it to anyone else (unless I would already appear odd on a brain scan)
Is this doable?

A better approach would be to break it down as much as possible. This has the following benefits:

* You will identify tasks you haven't though of

* You will get a better picture of the total effort needed

* It will be easier to provide grounds for your estimates to stakeholders

* Developers will see progress as tasks get closed

* Commits can be traced to specific tasks

* Better estimates for remaining work during sprint/iteration/what-ever-you-call-it
I agree that the "liberal" press does a very poor job to get to the bottom of anything recently, it just reiterates propaganda and I don't think they are able to hold anyone accountable. Educational deficits of young journalists are pretty appararent. That said, you don't need to add some weird stuff here.
Beeing aware of the sound you hear in your ear when it is silent and focusing on it is the best way to increase the volume, making it permanent and driving you nuts according to my ear doctor. Being oblivious to your body is in my opinion the healthy state.
In my head I usually do "an order of magnitude" increase to do things properly. 1h to 1d to 1w to 1M to 1Y.

Thats kind of like a multiplier of τ=2π
At the moment, there's no way out, plannign stipulates that all our microservices must be rewritten to accomodate this super abstract DDD design (and youy're right, it was an engineer who created our current layout)

The power generated by those unfinished nuclear reactors will definitely not offset the carbon cost.
These costs were due to air refueling. And then delivering fuel by helicopter. Applied to really far away mountain areas with no road access at all.
Decently well? Society has its problems, but its had some pretty cool accomplishments along the way.

More to the point, i think your argument would be more compelling if you had some examples of non-"small world graph" endeavours that worked out well. I'd love for some experiments, but i think we need some succesful experiments before saying that its a better model.

For something with such a large margin for error, it can only be funny to use something with multiple digits of precision (like Pi is).

Unfortunately, not funny enough for me to want to use it, and the attempt to rationalize it only makes it worse. (iow, that's not a particularly funny joke either)

Tactical/technical DDD patterns should only be used for parts of the code where there is a lot of business agility required, so the behavior of your code changes a lot, and you have a tight feedback loop with your business unit.

Your story sounds like they implemented a "technical DDD top-level architecture" (TM), whatever that may be. (I'd assume layers of abstractions coupled with logic spread all over the place, without any added benefit.)

You see this a lot when people read some stuff about DDD, and they start experimenting with the technical/tactical patterns, because this is the aspect that makes most sense to a technical audience.

In reality the tactical/technical DDD patterns should only be applied in the core part of your business (i.e. the thing that gives you a strategic advantage over your competitors.), because that typically needs to change a lot, so having a common language/model with the business tends to be worth the extra upkeep required when opting for more flexible models.

Identifying what the core part is of your business (most likely it's not authentication, billing, invoicing, content management, ...) is one of the more important (and most difficult) aspects of DDD.
This just straight up isn't true for blue collar and service work.

I've worked those kinds of jobs with 12 hour shifts pretty recently, and you definitely Really Actually Literally Work 10+ hours of em'. It's kind of a buzz.

I could still do it, 6 days a week, day-in day-out at 32, which was pleasantly surprising to me as someone who has always struggled to work a good 4 actual hours of white collar shift.

Some jobs just come at you non-stop, and basically your only options are quit dramatically, or keep grinding through.

The camaraderie with your work colleagues is something too. I've never felt that kind of genuine, manic, expendables-in-the-trenches, darkly comic camaraderie in any white collar job.
> JSON5 attempts to fix the comments problem: https://json5.org/

It also attempts to fix some other problems. I'm fond of "numbers may be hexadecimal".

I can't resist observing how much easier the fixes would be, if JSON data included a version designator.
> Discoverability is a challenge when you have this many apps and it's simply not fun having to wade through so many low quality, user-hostile apps.

Have you ever looked at the App Store? It's already like this…
I guess I must be out of my mind. I didn‘t realize I implied all of that in my previous.

Now to the part of your comment that is on-topic:

> Finally, yes it is a mob as nobody from the bystanders did anything to stop the attacker, tacitly agreeing with what he did.

The bystanders did exactly what bystanders do. They stood by. That doesn‘t make them agree with the attacker.

What would you habe done if you were there? I know I don‘t have the reflexes and fighting skills to stop this from happening. And I bet she had her friends helping her afterwards so there wouldn‘t have been any need to get involved.
The NSA doesn't have Apple's private keys. They aren't a magical organization that can crack all modern crypto either.
Serverless framework is even worse. Debugging anything in serverless framework is hell. There is no way to print a fully generated CloudFormation template. In many, you need to brute force the solution by committing and re-deploying.

The name “serverless framework” is idiotic and not googleable. It is like naming server side framework “api framework”.

In my opinion, Lambda should only be for small, event based functionality between services. People that sold the idea of full-fledged app development to clueless architecture astronauts should have a special place in hell.
It wasn't. Marx talked of "alienation" over 150 years ago.
Why do you feel dumb?
No lights on shouldn’t even be an option. Even with older cars I’ve always turned them on. My current car won’t even allow you to turn them off.
The one thing I don't understand is this mentality of self sacrifice that to me seems core to all this. 'who am I but a privileged white chic taking up space', to me, says all. You are never a privileged space taker. You're all you have and there rest of the world is in a way far less important than you.
Python, FastAPI... so you can imagine how something as simple as a CRUD becomes quickly impossible to manage as soon as you ignore everything and start creating repositories, queries, use cases, etc. for a single endpoint.

I agree with you that a minimal implementation should handle it but... someone had wet dreams with DDD and everything has to be DDD now :)
The red dot is quite bright, in a well lit area I don't know if I could distinguish it from a dim LED. On my carbon X1, there is an infrared camera or sensor right next to it, so in my case I actually have the IRlens and the dot adjacent to one another as you might expect on a recording device.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I was confused by it, just thought to myself "huh, that's kind of silly"
Are there any good paid alternatives to Signal? Looking for: Good UI, E2E, shared source native phone and desktop apps, group support, reliable push, easy setup.

It seems to me that all the alternatives are either free and suffer from some of the same issues Signal does, or don't have all these features.
The people who are meant to die from COVID will die when you open up again. By the way death is part of life as much as is birth. Without death we couldn’t live. We should be happy about people dying by natural causes rather than by guns or war. If anything, the more people die by a natural cause like COVID the better for the world, because imagine how much carbon we set off by every person less eating beef, driving a car or flying a plane. Lockdowns are the most ridiculous and inefficient stupid thing.
I want poor people to stop losing their money to scammers. This is primarily who loses money in pump and dumps. Rich people pump the currency, recruit, then dump.

FOMO hits the poor way harder than it does the rich. Rich people have lots of places to invest their money that give good returns and they don't need to "get rich quick".

I want cryptocurrencies shut down so they stop using insane amounts of power so that people can gamble.

We all indirectly gain if cryptocurrencies cease to exist, because less carbon will be released into the atmosphere.
jellyfin is good but lots of bugs need help. "just being user" like me is not helping very much
> I think those who are clutching their pearls over tether...

No pearl clutching here. Best case, Tether is a MMF and is an absolute catastrophe by those standards. Medium case, Tether is a bank (or hedge fund) and is a catastrophe by those standards. Worst case, Tether is an outright fraud, and is damn impressive by those standards.

But in all states of the universe, Tether is far far worse than whatever sort of off-shore cruft you think the typical bulge bracket is hiding.

Very neat. IIUC, each user gets some private cells, and "Daddy Google" does the sync.

Off topic:

How hard is it to just clone ETH, change the master key, (do we even need to re-compile?) and have new blockchain?

Surely there is a SaaS for that
Fine. We want different things. Like I said I know people in health informatics, they're professional and highly motivated about improving health outcomes. This isn't a simple black or white good or bad space and it's not (in my view) a boil the frog slowly moment either. That said, I distrust the L/NP and Dutton especially, regarding PII.

I don't want to go back into indoor dining and venues with whackjob libertarians breathing all over me. If you want to avoid governments, get vaccinated and prove it somehow or stay outside. I'm voting for parliaments which impose societal controls on stupidity, the state has you from birth with a blood sample and footprint.
> Apple really hates the idea of special rules for specific developers.

You mean "really loves" special rules for specific developers. They won't change the public rules, of course, but backroom deals for private APIs or specific entitlements are a thing.
That's interesting becase x3 is one of the axis of the famouse "from code to software product" chart from Fred Brooks "Mythical Man Month". But there are two of them, so really it's x9, almost an order of magnitude.
Why, though? Concerns about the quality of the locally available fuel? Concerns about the supply of the locally available fuel? Or just some monetarily aligned motivations?
I’m not OP but my numbers are similar.

I spent most of my twenties in college and grad school. Then worked in the Midwest in my early thirties making $100k-$130k.

I moved to Silicon Valley and took a job for $150k. That was a downgrade considering the much higher cost of living, but it seemed like a good stepping stone at the time. I stayed at that company for way too long working towards a promotion that was dangled in front of me but never came, and finally switched to FANG for a 2X increase in total comp.

And many people at my age in the company make about 2X+ of what I make now. The housing prices here are so crazy that I’m ready to throw in the towel on SV, even if it means a pay cut. My QOL was highest outside of the Bay Area working for less.
....that's not an order of magnitude each time
Is Fox News part of a hierarchy of power interpreting the word of God? Is QAnon? I'm not really seeing how your comment supports cletus's comment about Fox News and wack job conspiracies.

>forcing them to believe in an entity they can't see

People can't see the big bang either, at least at a young age. In my mind there's a pretty clear argument for God's existence from the laws of thermodynamics. You can define God to be whatever caused mass and energy to exist, and more foundationally whatever caused the laws of the universe to exist.
And it's better than Signal's desktop app.
> The brain, specifically the neocortex, contains the mind, and there's no good reasons to assume otherwise.

It's equally possible that the brain, specifically the neocortex, contains the interface to the mind.

And for what it's worth, I'm not assuming this is the case: I don't know. I'm just saying it might be.

The difficulty I have with the idea that the mind is inside the brain is that I do not see how a bunch of neurons can give rise to self-awareness. I'm happy to agree that a bunch of neurons can compute arbitrarily-complex functions, and produce arbitrarily-complex behaviours, and produce the outward appearance of consciousness. But I can't see where the inward sensation of consciousness can come from.
This is a terrible way to live a life. This cynicism would be evident to others, create a toxic pathologically depressing environment and then pull others down with it.

I can’t believe I’m reading this on HN, a place that used to be full of optimism and accepting grand challenges, looking upto leaders and doing hard things others shy away from.

I know this is a taboo to compare with Reddit, but lately I have to pinch myself and ask is this really HN!?
Do you know of any work on this? I have a prototype implementation for a side-effects prolog library with a similar semantics and I'm working on the corresponding paper.

Exactly :)
I really wanted to keep using Signal but kept having a number of reliability / message delivery / notification issues. Last nail in the coffin was not being able to change my phone number and keep my message history.
Apple absolutely runs an internal App Store case law. In fact this specific case law has caused issues in the past, when I knew they had case law covering the thing I was submitting and their low-level reviewers didn't, and resolving this obviously took work.
I'm sure it'd be cheaper for Disney to rent devices locked to their app for a day than pay for these line proctors and the person that's still taking the orders.
This works brilliantly, i tried a few searches and it came up with pretty good results, and was quick too! Do you mind providing instructions on your site as to how to make it your address bar search on various browsers? Very impressive.
You're missing the point: in a tragedy of the commons, the precise market failure is that small, individual actions (i.e. on Lambo) does not materially impact the common goods.

Any single automobile is not a real factor in climate change. But all automobiles (including supercars) are.
WhatsApp's desktop version is crippled because it requires connectivity to your phone in order to use it. I believe they're working on a client that doesn't require that, but it's not here yet.
chances are the other company knows as well what's up and upholds the veil, if your background is in the field and you haven't had any management focused education at start or on top, your resume will give you away.

Thank you for the clarification/info!
> Parent poster is possibly from a generation which has been taught that asking questions is an offense, so I will forgive them for responding with hostility.

Your condescension is ill placed. Questions can very much be offensive, let me give you another example: "Are Jews really related to people? Because if they're not then I really don't see the fuss about this Holocaust thing." See how that's offensive?

> As a European American I obviously am interested in understanding how the world views the rights my children might have to the land in which they will be born

Your children will and should have exactly the same rights as anybody else born there. This does not erase the genocide of the American Indians or the obligation of the US (perpetually unacknowledged) to offer reparations and dignity to the remaining populations.

> As the descendants of conquerors, I am compelled by circumstances to believe "might makes right" or else I would have to consider returning to the land to which I have ancient connections.

I don't see how yours can be a reasonable position. If we start accepting "might makes right" just to excuse the atrocities committed by our ancestors we will regress back to early modernity, before things like the universal human rights, self-determination etc.

You don't need to return any land and you don't need to claim ancient connections (which you probably don't have anyway). Your rights stem from the basic fact that you're a human being. If let's say another imperialist nation (e.g. China, since the yellow peril is en vogue again) would invade the US and exterminate the existing population justice would and should be on your side. It shouldn't be "might makes right", right?

Correct. This is key to understand most of the issues at play in these past events.
We Scrape Data
it's quite funny when you think about how many commercial internet services that were originally offered to the public for free, usually to cross-promote or grow some other business (advertising, mostly, it seems), that now, as the internet has subsumed more basic functions in society, are basically as vital as a telephone was 30+ years ago.

like, imagine if gmail announced they were shutting down...
Ummm, I've paid more for WhatsApp than I did for Signal. The money for signal kinda came (in a roudabout way) from the money I gave to WhatsApp.
Dude, this is not complicated.

All wireless carriers offer huge incentives to come to their network. Because there’s a lot of friction for people to change.

Offering generous trade-in programs is just part of the same tactics. They’ll make just a tiny bit less profit, but it’s way better than seeing a customer go to somebody else. The cost of a cell phone network is dominated by capital investments.

I can do math. It looks like you can’t? Because it’s really not hard to take the regular price of a phone vs what you get after incentives and compare which one is cheapest. And then do the same with plans and compare those with prepaid.

I see prepaid plans for $40+taxes and fees for prepaid and they don’t offer what I want, for which I pay $55 after all taxes and fees.

So for around $10 or $240 more over 2 years minus $350 in trade-in, I get the plan features that I want and the phone that I want. IOW: I get a better deal all around than what I’d get with prepaid. Financially and feature-wise.

Would you please care to explain me how I’m the dumb one here, because I clearly don’t get it.

As for that tacked on charge: the guy in the store obviously added it without my permission to pad his commission. I hate it too. It took me 5min on the phone to get it reversed. I already wrote that it was orthogonal to the concept of getting a better deal vs buying straight from Apple, but somehow you didn’t get that.
Ah yes, I glossed over that! You can download MPLG from https://riverspirit.nl/mplg
