The book Everyone Loves You When You're Dead has some interesting thoughts about this. It's a collection of interviews with rockstars and other celebrities that the author did throughout his career at Rolling Stone. One of the common themes he points out is that fame and money seem to act as multipliers. People who were happy and well-adjusted before they got rich found that money made them happier. People who were miserable to start with found that money and fame only compounded their miseries.
Yet the vast majority of those games seem to have very questionable business models. This is great for shareholders but from a point of taste this is nothing to be proud of. Apple though used to be or at least tried to be the company of taste.
I don’t think anyone is saying not knowing what bacteria is is directly a function of individual intelligence. But it is an important measure of a society, along with things like - how often their young die, how often women die in childbirth, how many people die due to treatable diseases.
McD's won't start everyone at $20/h, but in an environment where starting wage is $15-$17, shift managers will be at least within striking distance of $20/h. This is not necessarily in a high COL area.

I've got some visibility to the logistics industry. My experience doesn't quite fit some of the posts in here / that story.

Drivers have been making LESS over the years for a few decades now.

Nobody wants to hire 18 year olds generally, insurance wouldn't allow it any way...

Logistics companies who hire drivers have been complaining about driver shortages but not increasing wages for years as well... and they actually seem to meet demand just fine. Issues at choke points like ports don't seem to be a pure driver supply issue from what I've seen.

The logistics industry is super price sensitive, people will complain... but they'll also wait to ship a thing to save a couple bucks (I'm not kidding when I say a couple bucks) all while complaining.

The drivers you hear who make a good living have specialized skills / work for specialized companies and do not reflect the industry as a whole.

Good old mobile gaming. It's huge, just hidden as part of "how I use my phone". Phones are certainly powerful enough to game, but they lag behind even the Switch because of poor heat dissipation.
432Hz as phone tone would sounds ominous. "Something is wrong but I do not know what".
Yes but it's not quite comparable to jobs where you're home every night
Legos are great. My son was lego fanatic and he did learn some programming on mindstorm (rcx) and did some c like programming on it as well (not quite c it was called). He also learned basic from books and old tandy computers. I taught (volunteer) arduino, rpi and occasionally scratch classes at my local library pre-covid and I would say lots of kids can program at 8, and quite a few a bit younger but even with scratch being able to use a keyboard and mouse as opposed to touch screen is really important. An of course being able to read/write. I think just having fun computer things around the house that are not video games is good. Scratch is actually pretty awesome I think for learning programming, and then stuff that actually moves is really cool. I was also lucky in that my father in law actually had a robot company (ibm pc, basic programming, lots of cables) and he sent us one to play with when he as maybe 8 or 9? But there are so many choices today. Good Luck!
> We like capitalism here right?

I like to think we like objectivity.

Your analogy about ERs is based on situations that aren't emergencies, so I'm not really sure how to square that with reality.

Even following that analogy, you shouldn't delay medical attention to save money, and the insurance company shouldn't be dictating or steering any part of your medical treatment, period.

Incentives only work when you have good information and time to make decisions. When you're in an emergency situation, you can't hop on your phone and shop around for the best deals on trauma surgeons and ambulance rides, and frankly that shouldn't be the expectation.
These are outside numbers designed to make Apple look bad in a lawsuit. I’d take them with a grain of salt.
Off topic, but I am very interested in the topic of what other inventions are universal (I've thought about this myself a bit). Do you have a list or writeup?
I don't know what other evidence one would need for antitrust.

They have to my knowledge never produced a game, or a "real" console, yet they rake in more gaming money than any other? That's a hostage situation by any measure.

It's actually a bit amusing that Apple considers porn to be less ethical than the business models of some of these games.

When we produce first and the database update fails (because of incorrect state) it means in the worst case we enter a loop of continuously sending out duplicate messages until the issue is resolved

the article does not explain things very clearly, but I think this is describing the problem rather than their solution

Our high level idea was:

- Insert “work” into a table that acts like a queue

- “Executor” takes “work” from DB and runs it

...

A Job is an abstraction for a scheduled DB backed async activity

...

How did we solve the #2 state problem?

By recording Jobs in the service database we can do the state update within the same transaction as inserting a new Job. Combining this with a Job that produces the actual Kafka message, allows us to make the whole operation transactional. If either of the parts fails, updating the data or scheduling the job, both get rolled back and neither happens.

I think this is describing basically a Transactional Outbox

i.e. "jobs" are recorded in the postgres db as part of the same db transaction as the business logic actions

the difference from Kafka-first is that if the app decides to rollback the business logic then the message hasn't already sent
That is working as intended, and either you don't have a graphics card that is good enough to drive your monitor, or you're using CPU-rendered apps that will always be slow at higher resolutions. This is a problem with a lot of cheap hardware and older software. It worked for Apple because IIRC they've been porting all the low level drawing over to Metal. GNOME is a lot slower to do that unfortunately, you won't see everything being GPU accelerated until GTK4 becomes widely adopted.
Not sure how anyone thinks inflation is not seeing a huge increase. I have been looking at building a garage and prices have jumped over 25% in the last couple of years. Same jump with heavy equipment like bulldozers. Everywhere I look, prices are up at least 20% across the board from two years ago.

There is a difference between "proving," vs "supporting" or "confirming." This observation still leaves the possibility that Einstein's prediction is wrong but within the margin of experimental error, or that the model will fail to accurately predict motion near a different rotating supermassive object due to variables which aren't present for this one.

IMO, yes. Their cut is the same as the big gaming companies (30%), they're just in more hands - they have a bigger market than the consoles.

EDIT: TFA is comparing Apple to Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo here, all of which have walled garden stores on their consoles, which all charge ~30%. This is rather important context.
You should probably set up an LLC to handle billing for your personal projects if you plan on going with a big cloud provider.

It sucks, but the fact is AWS/GCP/Azure aren't really designed for hobbyist, they are designed for massive corporations. Their free tiers exist merely as a service to help train professionals to use their platforms.

Luckily, there are still good, low-cost providers out there.

> I have no idea why you are thinking I want to disallow anything.

Because if we wanted our governments to work like businesses, we'd have to ban elections. Businesses deciding to offer some leeway towards employees in their decision making process doesn't turn them into democracies the same way as a dictatorship doing opinion polls wouldn't be a democracy.

> As for the discussion about "true Marxism" - sorry. Hard pass.

Nobody said anything about "true Marxism". Marx neither invented the ideas of socialism, nor do I care for his opinion on it in particular.

If anything my point is that the Soviets (and their related states) tried to sell their actions as "real socialism" but that this is like calling America's actions "real capitalism" despite other forms like social market economies (e.g. half of Europe) existing.

I don't care if anarchism is any truer of a Scotsman than Bolshevism, I only care that anarchism is more communal and less oppressive.
One question that always comes up for me with DHT backed systems is resistance to DOS attacks. Making any P2P system resistant to DOS/DDOS is brutally difficult, but DHTs have always seemed especially vulnerable to a sophisticated attacker. A hybrid sybil/DDOS attack seems like it could down the network easily.

The Internet is a dark forest. Anything that gets popular will be attacked. The fact that it does not have a single owner may reduce the chances of ransom as a motive, but it doesn't reduce the chances of all attacker profiles including just "griefing."

Nice! Open source + Kubernetes + DevOps - doesn't get better than that. Great work Datree team.
Yes but that was not what was written. What was written was unambiguous.

You use the phrase when the name of a geographical area did not exist, or wasn't the same at the time you are referring to. So you wouldn't say "People in present-day Austria 50 years ago...", you just say "People in Austria 50 years ago." But you could very well say "People in present-day Austria 200 years ago..." since Austria then and now are different geographical areas.

You can say "Mozart was born in Salzburg in present-day Austria" and nobody would think it means he was born today.

Communication is about context.
I believe Apple's userbase may also exceed Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo combined.

The interesting thing about this is whether or not Google is in the same ballpark.

I have not worked on mobile games, so maybe someone in the know can educate us. Is the Play Store comparable in revenue for a given game ? Anecdotally, I have heard not. But with in-app purchases being more common now I would have expected that to equalize.
It’s exclusively from their App Store so I don’t understand why this wouldn’t be considered App Store revenue in the category of gaming. Also this is rent-seeking bullshit considering they get to take a 30% cut for adding nothing to the platform other than owning it.

Possibly but not necessarily. For any rate of fees > $0, there exists a point at which mobile is so much more popular than consoles that Apple makes more money.
The workforce participation rate is at an all time low. There are ~5 million fewer people looking for work than in 2019.

This is like saying that there is no housing shortage, just a shortage of people willing to pay a fair price.
Hostage situation, how? Developers are free to go to a huge number of competitor platforms. Apple does extremely well in an important market: wealthy people, people who can afford a $1000 smartphone will spend exponentially more than people buying a cheapo Android. The market they own happens to have the highest ARPU.

It’s like trying to breathe underwater. Just because a person has the capability and know how to breathe, they can’t breathe if not given the proper environment to do so. Yelling at them “why didn’t you take a breathe?!?!” As you watched them drown underwater is just ridiculous and naive.

But every time proper engineering doesn’t happen, we see a subset of cries like this, like it’s some moral failing in the engineer. There are surely some chronically stupid engineers out there, but 99% of the time it’s a culture that has subverted the doers below the discussers and the deciders that leads to this shitshow of “how did this happen??”
You listen to people around you either in the same or different industry. Finding an idea is a lot more about listening then it is you coming up with something.

Most of my projects have come from just listening to friends or families on their pain points (either in their jobs or life), evaluating the market around those problems and then taking action if it's a good idea.

> ‘You can get the same specs in a Windows PC for 1/2 the price !!’

That was never really the argument. Even in the heyday of the PowerMac, you could get one for $2000 and it was competitive with a $2000 PC. But $500 PCs existed and were 75% as fast, whereas $500 PowerMacs did not. And then that's what everybody bought because for most people, the last 25% of the performance isn't worth four times the money.

It's the same reason $50 Android phones have higher sales volumes than $1000 iPhones. For sure the iPhone is faster, but is it $950 faster? For most people the answer is no.

The men have not "identified" as a woman, they've written under a nom de plume. Much like Nicholas Bourbaki, or more to the point, Robert Galbraith. At no point has Joanne Rowling taken transgender people seriously, she herself does not "identify" as a man, despite repeatedly writing under a male-sounding name. Never did the contributors of Bourbaki "identify" with that identity. They adopted it for a purpose. This line of inquiry is comparable to the "my gender identity is an apache attack helecopter" bullshit meme. At best, it's completely ignorant, but I doubt it's in good faith. Please avoid such flamebait.
This is only tangentially related, but I wonder if other people have noticed the phenomenological changes that happen as you become familiar with a city.

When I come to a new city everything seems "flat," for want of a better word. The four directions at an intersection all have the same weight and pull and elevation.

Once I get to know a city, my brain starts to introduce a sense of "upwardness" and "downwardness." Usually this is simply the cardinal directions, but not always, and in any case it rarely relates to actual changes in elevation. Once I know a city well, it's impossible to get the sense of "flatness" again, except for rare occasions when I come out of a subway stop and I'm disoriented, and then it can feel like a new city again.

Debugging iOS-Safari issues on a web page requires:

1) Access to a Desktop Mac and a Desktop Safari.

2) An iOS device.

The Safari debugger recognizes a plugged-in iOS device and then allows to debug the iOS safari remotely. That's the only reliable way to find iOS specific JS or CSS issues. Browserstack alone does not help, unfortunately AFAIR.
TIL 80k is a shit salary and truck drivers don't have families.

Truck driver is certainly not a dream job, but salaries are fairly good compared to the median in the US. And its not more difficult to have a family than if you're in the military or a night nurse or any other job with unusual schedule.

+1. America has two different labor pools: those who are willing to compromise on their lifestyles and those who will only accept a living wage.

One side of America has been celebrating a reduction of migrants entering the country for four years, and now suddenly business owners are seeing that resource pool run dry. Even if these business owners did not rely on immigrant laborers, their own workforce is finding more opportunities. In many ways, it seems like that particular populist administration has provided what was promised.

Unless there is some major shift back to the norm, I can see businesses shifting to leverage labor more productively. I don't think this is a bad thing - America has always been addicted to its cheap, exploitable labor and this trend has gotten worse over the last three decades. Hopefully, these changes can continue to be more equitable to both sides. I could also foresee a reduction in excessive consumption - maybe a reduction in the number of "fast casual dining trends" and other horizontal growth trends.
It's a shame that web developers have to spend $500 to buy a bespoke web-browsing machine just to make their sites work better with Apple hardware. If Apple wanted people to treat their browser seriously, they should have simulators and developer tooling to spare.

LIST requests are priced by the 1000. And are priced the same at all storage classes. My estimate is that it would cost him $1 to click that button.

2M LIST requests = (2B objects / 1000 per LIST)
$1 = (2M / 1000) × $0.005

At least that's my reading of the Pricing page for US East (Ohio).
Right! Indeed even I was missing three more zeros. So the GP comment was missing 7 zeros, it’s $5 per billion items listed. Yes $5c per 1k items would be very expensive, good thing it’s not that pricey.
Rail freight is cheaper than trucking in general
Exactly, they have a commercial offer and a pricing more suited to large industries, where the scale is really needed. For a large industry, the cost of deleting a bucket is not even a thought, for an SMB or a developer it's a problem.

If you don't use special tools not available elsewhere, such as AWS' SageMaker, or Google's TPUs, ...., then it's probably not economically interesting to use the Amazon, Microsoft or Google clouds.

I've wondered if Nim could be the foundation for a sort of "next-generation" Arduino. It's easy to learn, compiles to small binaries, and can wrap a ton of existing C code.

My experiments taught me wrapping Arduino from scratch, while possible, might not be ideal. There's some cruft in that code base, and the abstractions could use some updating.
Thanks. The link is fixed now.

Apple probably makes more profit from Gaming than from every game developer on the planet combined, despite not making any games.

If anyone is thinking of working in the Games Industry: don't. All of the profit will be skimmed off by platform owners. Its why wages and conditions are so poor at development studios.
