You are right.

Ada had interval types since the beginning (1979), but I had forgotten that modular integer types have been added to Ada in the 1995 Ada standard.

So yes, Ada is probably the only one that got this right.
Thanks for your reply. With OSS, the exact compiler and build toolchain varies from user to user, so good OSS code tries to be as easy as possible to compile, i.e. avoid -Werror or anything else that deliberately stops compiling.
> Maybe sideload your specialised kiosk software onto it by hand?

In this case I was suggesting that you have a vendor upstream of you doing this, where you then take receipt of a system (e.g. a POS system) of which an "embedded" iPad is a one component, and is a black box, perhaps even epoxied into an enclosure.

In such a case, you literally cannot do anything to the iPad. It's locked down into its kiosk application, and getting admin access to it would require taking the system it's a part of apart to a degree that would void your warranty with the vendor.

Instead, the only thing you can alter, is the network the iPad connects to.
It's funny that hackernews is now overloaded with distracted people ;-)
I agree that they have made a change of neighborhood, not country. I just pointed out the FB app is like a cementery of profiles.
Your Favorite Startup Might Not Have Made That Thing It’s Selling
I am of the opinion that the whole "Reader apps" concept itself was brought in to selectively please big and important players. The ones whose absence would diminish the value of iPhone. Indie developer's can't be expected to get same treatment.
If you change your DNS servers, it works! Their DNS servers probably crashed due to FB's DNS not resolving! (https://twitter.com/BlazejKrajnak)
I'm pretty sure Goldman discloses that, and the probably exlains/demonstrates to the client their controls to enusre the areas stay seperate. Not disclosing it is at least a bit sketchy.
Lying to Congress is a crime (distinct from perjury), but it's unusual for anyone to be tried for/convicted of it though. Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, is a (rare) recent example.
Regulators have too much power and influence on markets - they're worried about market manipulation but as far as I'm concerned they are the only ones manipulating markets.
It depends on who your friends are. Compare Clapper and Flynn.
I mean, I usually just tell friends to call me on FB messenger (or WeChat) rather than giving them one of my 10+ phone numbers, so FB probably wouldn't have gotten it that way. I'm not on very many people's phone contact lists. The few that do have a virtual number that I can just change.

Name, yes, but that's public.

Well I consider SSNs public knowledge at this stage. You can reliably dox anyone in the US now and find out their SSNs. Also: I used to have a sticker on my laptop that had my SSN on it, and brought it to conferences, as a PR stunt for my consultancy.
I trust my own judgement, thank you very much. I don't need Big Daddy Apple making all my decisions for me.

Also, that has absolutely nothing to do with banning third party payment processors for IAPs. That is just criminal, or well, it should be.

New UUID Formats IETF Draft – Expires October 28th 2021
As the CEO of a social network with more active users than Facebook, I am very confident in my analysis.
These blender-based shaded relief images have been popping up a fair bit in the geomatics space recently. I really love them, but they are fairly complicated to make. I developed the open-source geospatial platform WhiteboxTools (developed in pure Rust) to help with tasks like this. You can create multi-scale hillshade images with it and the type of shadow model displayed above as well with one click:

https://www.whiteboxgeo.com/manual/wbt_book/available_tools/...

Better yet, you can create a dynamic shadow model based on a DEM using the ShadowAnimation tool:

So 4/4 of those are platforms controlled by a single company or a few large corporations. This really isn't a win in any meaningful sense.

It should be fine for huge corporations to exist and provide services really efficiently at scale while also being forced to play nice and respond to the will of the people they serve.

If we collectively can't stop Facebook from doing bad thing and being bad stewards to their own platform then you won't be able to stop whatever would replace them either.

Same here. initially i too couldn't remember for sure.

Is this pod worth listening to? Kinda hard to decide based on the transcript-lacking landing page.
This is actually a solid counter-point. My concerns with browser extensions is that you can't necessarily trust them or find something you want done, but I concede that having the option doesn't require you to do anything, whereas a native app doesn't necessarily give you the option.
Starlink barely works over a few hundred kilometers. Thanks to the inverse square law doing it over a few million kilometers is about 100 million times harder.
the solution is whatever we have that works today. That is currently nuclear, hydro plus newer technologies. Rejecting one of those - the most critical component in my opinion - due to decades of fear mongering is actively making the problem worse.

You have framed the problem as a binary choice which it is not.

Only around 40% of Germany electrical energy comes from renewable resources - roughly the same as coal and natural gas.
Not a fan of FB, but the main reason for WhatsApp's success was SMS sucking hairy balls.
You have to be the market leader, then the other 149 other software providers will implement it in order to take part of your market.

One (costly) thing I learned a couple times as an entrepreneur is that it's almost impossible for a small company to make a market but they can sometimes move a market. In the same way, you might not be able to make the standard (the fact that you refer to it as "our OSS interop protocol" is telling) but you might be able to coordinate an industry group that starts with something small and grows it to what you'd like it to be.

Warning: This takes an extraordinary amount of time (I've been part of RFCs that took 4-5 years for complex protocols).
When you look at the history behind the M1, it's been an inch-by-inch progression, grinding away at that CPU architecture. The culmination of that work is having one single CPU power iPads, macbooks and iMacs, which I think can reasonably be called revolutionary.
You seem to have missed out the crucial piece on context from that source, in that it's talking explicitly about app review and not IAP commission.
I have a friend who is going through a harrowing divorce, cheating on both sides, lots of family drama, she tried to light his car on fire, police called by neighbors for fighting, etc.

On Instagram he and his (soon to be ex) wife just tagged themselves this weekend putting up Halloween decorations, all smiley buying pumpkins and cooking truffle mac and cheese, liking each other's posts.

Meanwhile he is calling me at 1:30am asking if he can come sleep on our couch. I kind of want to ask him about the discrepancy between his online persona vs real life, but I don't want to offend him.
And in that model it should be funding its deferred compensation and recognizing such on the books as a liability. It wasn’t before.
> because you've introduced a dependency on a specific compiler version

No, if you get warnings, it means that your code is (and was already) wrong. And if you wrote wrong code you already have an implicit dependency on your compiler version, as more recent versions with more advanced static analysis may turn a semi-harmless unrecognized UB as a very harmful recognized one (and thus warn). I had this case a few times already, see a simple repro : https://gcc.godbolt.org/z/jY69sas8K

-Werror just makes this dependency explicit.
Man, out of those only Netflix going down wouldn't cause a gigantic billions of dollars worth clusterfuck to people, businesses and companies. It's nice you don't use them but about everyone around does and mostly for at least some important things.

Right, that's what I mean with "Facebook gives you the illusion that you can opt out of this data being public".

I recall when I still had Facebook, many people would randomly add you and pretend to be random people, sometimes famous, sometimes they "just want to be friends". I know most people have some settings along the lines of "no one except friends can see all this data". This is an issue, because people will add these "friends" and forget about these permissions. These "friends" can easily be attackers like these that suddenly have access to all your data. Hence the "illusion".

With a phonebook on the other hand, when you opt out, you've opted out.

Less than outstanding outcomes

Market cap is their outcome, not their clients' outcomes. The two are decidedly different things, especially in our weird distorted market.
Very cool! Nothing wrong with crude; something crude that exists is better than something polished that does not exist!

I am curious about your implementation of 'accuracy':

> How do I measure 'accuracy'?

> Very simply! I take the BBC's weather icons and compare them, using a bit of leeway. So if the prediction is 'Partly Cloudly', then 'Sunny Intervals' is also considered equivalent. Likewise, 'Light Showers', 'Light Rain' and 'Drizzle' are all considered close enough to be an accurate forecast.

> E.g. as I write this, the table below shows that the weather forecast for Cambridge one day ahead was 53% accurate. In other words, the BBC's guess about tomorrow's weather in Cambridge was right roughly half of the time.

So no partial credit, then? Check my understanding: I think that you're simply matching the title text of the icon. If it's a match (or in a small group of synonyms) that's a point, if it's not, you score zero for that prediction. Yesterday, the forecast for today was "Partly cloudy", today, the actual weather was "Sunny" - it gets no credit.

The parent article neural network is, apparently, scoring itself on matching the radar results pixel by pixel and color by color, which is pretty neat. I think it's particularly interesting if it's essentially general-purpose, taking in one collection of input pictures and outputting another, or whether they also gave it information on high and low pressure zones, prevailing winds, bodies of water and elevated land masses, and so on.

Regardless, what I personally want to know (and what I think most people want to know) from the weather forecast is whether it's going to be suitable for a particular activity. Obviously, the hard part is that the activities may vary for each consultation. If it's predicted to be partly cloudy and mild, and was actually sunny and hot, I'd be pleasantly surprised if I had scheduled a day at the beach, but disappointed if I was sweating while working on some landscaping. Farmers want it wet in the summer for growth and dry in the fall for harvesting, sailors want to know the minimum wind, painters want to know the maximum wind; everyone has different goals day by day.
In England, pubs usually sell "small", "medium" or "large" glasses of wine, which are 125mL, 150mL and 250mL. ([1] for good evidence for this, that you can buy measures for it. There's also a law [2].)

But the comparisons in this discussion are all confused, as the first person wrote "US measuring cup" but used UK alcohol "units" (which are 10mL = 6g), but the US "standard drink" contains 11g = 18mL alcohol.

UK units are nicer to calculate, as an example 150mL glass of 13% wine contains 150 × 13 ÷ 1000 → 1.95 "units" alcohol (19.5mL).

But the US standard drink is probably nearer to what people actually consider one drink. The UK site shows that typical drinks are nearer 2-3 units [3].

Actually if someone had a model like that, they have all the incentives to keep it a secret. Also it would allow simulations to be ran and make "good" decisions. But we have better odds of cracking the prediction problem than it's responsible use.

I'd be interested to see the why/how behind the TB correlation. Like is it just secondary?
Sure, but why limit this to tech companies? Let's also apply this to banks, landlords, governments, grocery chains, and employers in general.

Why should I not get the best wages, negotiated employment agreement, interest rates, lease terms, and deal with the IRS on taxes that I really don't want to pay as my most successful peer?

Banks bend over backwards for their VIP customers, why shouldn't they do the same for me?

My neighbours didn't get a rent increase this month because my landlord likes them, why should I have to negotiate for getting the same thing?

Bill on my team got a 30% bonus this year, I also want a 30% bonus... And would love to see this sort of thing codified in law.
It's not really a story at all, just an exploration of an idea. The plot is very predictable, and the characters are just the thinnest of veils for whatever point the author is trying to make.
I'm worried about that person. I doubt Facebook will look kindly on breaking incident news being shared on reddit.
Yeah, strong agree from me.

What is weird to me are so many of the responses to my comment are along the lines of "But the real danger now is that all of this data can be correlated with other sources of info, and it's all instantly searchable." It's weird to me because that's the point I was trying to make in my last paragraph, to explain that that really has nothing to do with Facebook. The "hackers" aren't even claiming there was a breach, just information they screen scraped. The ability to amass giant databases of information and make it available to the world to search is something fundamentally inherent to the Internet.
> I don't consider my name, date of birth or the city I live in to be personal information.

Of course it is personal information.

I think what you are trying to say is that you do not consider this data to be sensitive personal information. Emphasis on sensitive.

The device performs involuntary "CSAM" scans (where "CSAM" means whatever any given nation's intelligence apparatus doesn't like). If you don't believe it, just look to what they've done to their customers in non-US regions. Or that Mac phones home about what programs you run.

App review is meant to enforce Apple's payment rules as much as anything. They don't and can't catch everything.

Strong sandboxing, granular permissions, and remote kill switch (that can be disabled) can do effectively the same job. It just won't earn Apple gobs of racketeering money.
You may be right, but theres a Reuters article about the downtime, this is making the news today. I would say Facebook is different because of their scale.

Looks like there are a few problems with fb in the news today ...
This particular UB is used for optimisation in the following manner: when you write a loop that iterates over an array using a signed index variable, it doesn't check that the index doesn't overflow. Apparently doing it 'properly' would cost something like 6% performance loss in such code.

Even so, I feel the proper solution would be to use the correct type for array indexing (either one that has the same word size as a pointer, in which case it cannot overflow, or just a special index_t type defined for this purpose). Forcing everything else to have to put up with UB in the least expected places is not, in my mind, a good way to go.

Unfortunately I don't think this battle can be won. They won't even remove the UB from functions like tolower(), even though it would cost precisely nothing...
You are correct that we are a small team. I have 4 devs. We are hiring 2 more right now and the plan then would be to coordinate 2 mobs/teams. I generally believe a team should be between 3-5 people.
Fighting Misinformation: An Embedded Media Provenance Specification
At passmark, anyway, in a chart that seems to have some rather questionable orderings to it. Like the Ryzen 5900 is according to that AMD's fastest single core performance CPU. But that's certainly not the case as it's just a power-restricted & clock-restricted version of the 5900X, and the 5950X has then an even higher clock ceiling.

Similarly on the Intel side they have the 11900 ranked higher than the 11900K. Which again, there's no way that's true since the 11900K is literally an 11900 with a higher power limit & higher turbo frequency. And then the 11900KF, which is just an 11900K but with the iGPU disabled, is then somehow a lot faster than both?

Actual binnings & achievable frequencies vary, of course, but these orderings aren't passing a sniff test, either.

https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2687?vs=2673, https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2687?vs=2637, and https://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/2687?vs=2787 are better comparison points here. The M1's single-core performance is of course very strong, but I'm not sure why you're surprised that it's "still" the fastest single-core CPU since these CPUs are all the same generation. There hasn't really been anything newer.

"I believe the original change was 'automatic' (as in configuration done via a web interface).

Hmm, could be a UI/UX bug then :)
Nitpick: developers aren't required by Apple to restrict payment to only go through the App Store / Apple Pay. They're just required to take an equivalent App Store levy out of whatever gross they're making, regardless of what payment processor they use, and hand that levy to Apple.

For example, there's no TOS requirement preventing Amazon from having been selling Kindle books through its iOS Kindle app this whole time, and charging those sales through the user's Amazon payment processing as per usual. The only TOS requirement is that they would have just had to take 30% off the top of those sales for Apple. Amazon doesn't want to do this (and perhaps would have negative margins if they did), so instead they have decided to not have any kind of store view in the iOS Kindle app, and instead to just tell iOS Kindle users to go to the Amazon website to shop for Kindle books.
