And Apple puts a damper on the web. [1]

No web engine but their own:

> 2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript.

> 4.7.1 [...] only use capabilities available in a standard WebKit view (e.g. it must open and run natively in Safari without modifications or additional software); and use WebKit and JavaScript Core to run third-party software and should not attempt to extend or expose native platform APIs to third-party software;

No apps allowed to stream content not individually reviewed by the App Store, despite the lack of security risk that comes with streaming instead of installing outside apps:

> 4.9.1 Each streaming game must be submitted to the App Store as an individual app so that it has an App Store product page, appears in charts and search, has user ratings and review, can be managed with ScreenTime and other parental control apps, appears on the user’s device, etc.

> 4.9.2 Streaming game services may offer a catalog app on the App Store to help users sign up for the service and find the games on the App Store, provided that the app adheres to all guidelines, including offering users the option to pay for a subscription with in-app purchase and use Sign in with Apple. All the games included in the catalog app must link to an individual App Store product page.

Blocking "side loading" of apps from the web, forcing streaming of apps to be shoehorned into the App Store individually, locking down all web functionality to Apple's implementation ...

Apple is not a fan of old and new web capabilities that compete with its App Store. This is a problem for general computing innovation.

You can't have everything. Giving you, but also other companies the freedom to do as they want with your phone and data could also be considered anti-consumer.
The delivery staff definitely aren't/weren't actual employees. They all have some kind of business entity set up that they use to bill Wolt
Yea. We listened, and adjusted and you now can do a search in all browsers and settings and without the extension :)
LG 3D TVs used passive glasses (unlike the active glasses by Samsung). Basically pieces of colored plastic. You could get a pack of 6 for your friends very cheap, and reportedly even glasses from cinemas would work (I never personally tried that).

I actually was annoyed when they removed 3D from their TV lineups. It's not something I used very regularly, but I did enjoy it from time to time. And it was just software, no actual hardware cost added AFAIK. I get that most people didn't use it but at least they should have kept the choice.
I see Fastmail as the good guys. Why are they targeted like that lately? If the attackers think that I'm going to move back to Gmail, they are wrong. I'm with you, Fastmail team.
I'm not sure. On Android phones you can still install any third party android app just by installing its apk.
Wolt's delivery staff haven't been treated as actual employees in its native Finland. It was actually quite recent when the occupational safety administration ruled that Wolt's delivery staff are actually employees, but Wolt is appealing.
Judging by some of the replies further down. I think we both know what they're implying :|
Regarding their use of YouTube, the best way of working around that problem (at least without using a privacy-preserving provider) is to embed from youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com.

This is a nice in-depth article that shows it's not impossible to create native-looking experiences using cross-platform tools. Kudos!

I would like to see more content like this, promoting cross-platform tools while not forgetting native platform capabilities and guidelines.

Question for the author: do you have anything to say about building/signing/publishing for both app stores? Is there any automation involved?

I’ve called once each for fire and ambulance, without problems.

The fire call was “the detectors in my building are going off, while I can smell smoke it might just be a neighbour’s cigarettes, there is no visible flame”. This produced a fire engine, flashing lights but no sirens, and free replacement fire alarms.

The ambulance call was “A cyclist bounced off the kerb, fell off their bike, then had a grand-mal seizure”, which produced an ambulance, and as this was during rush hour there were also several random nurses who just stopped their cars and asked if they could help.

I don't trust those numbers.
Maybe, but "a community that really valued anonymous posting" is likely to be defined by this value. The first "problem" is that likely use cases are users/comments/topics that aren't allowed elsewhere. So.. that community will tend to be a haven for whatever content other sites have actively ejected.

That doesn't make it impossible to have anonymous accounts, but it is a high tradeoff decision and likely a defining one.

I think it's more applicable for sites that have somewhat more objective and/or legible goals. Wiki-ish sites, for example. If there's a lot of free form discussion... anonymity is probably a bad decision for the site owner.

Unrelated to the story - Who thought its a good idea to change scrollbar's behaviour? I scroll down a little and suddenly it jumps to the bottom of the page.
I have a hard time parsing your sentence but if you believe that:

> Mr Burns was the most environmentally responsible Simpson's character and likely a real scientific expert.

then you really need to watch the show again.

He hid nuclear waste in trees.

It doesn't necessarily mean nuclear is intrinsically bad, it means humans can be really bad at handling it.

You want characters like Burns handling a nuclear revival ? Then that's a really good argument to be against nuclear.
That's a great writeup. However, am I correct in understanding that the UI packages are not bindings for SwiftUI or UIKit? Would this "native" package then truly benefit from OS integration of keyboard shortcuts, accessibility settings etc.?

The biggest downside of Electron (or Cordova/Capacitor for mobile apps) is not necessarily performance (as proven by VSCode), but the non-standard implementation of UI controls.

For example, if I change some accessibility settings on the OS level, all UI elements in all apps implementing truly native UI components would inherit the OS-level settings. The toggle button on iOS could be set to have an I and an O for the ON and OFF state. A web-based app would not respect that setting.

So, if we talk about native, the most important part is OS-level integration of the UI. I'm not sure if Flutter really is an alternative, if the only thing you get is a bit less memory consumption and a smaller download size.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I wonder if that's why they are now exiting. They can see that there is no future for this kind of business as governments crack down on the platform economy.
I've found that asking non-engineers to explain to me how to make a cup of tea can be helpful in explaining why software development is so complex.

They'll usually say something like "boil the kettle, pour the water in the cup and wait a few minutes"

So then you go in and probe all the requirements and edge cases:

- what if there's no water in the kettle?

- what if there's no power to the kettle?

- what if we're out of tea bags?

- how do I know when the kettle is boiled?

- can I put the tea bag in the cup while the kettle boils, or do I need to wait for the kettle to be ready first?

- what size cup do I need?

- how do I remove the tea bag?

- what if there are no clean spoons?
you're seeing what happened and extrapolate the future based on this. what didn't happen is equally important. Chernobyl was the worst accident, but it was by far not the worst possible outcome. e.g. if the core burned through concrete and contaminated ground water, it'd be way, way worse.

Most pizza-places here attempt to avoid the "(wolt|foodora) tax" price increase for pickups by offering free drinks if you call and order instead of doing it through the app.

Wouldn't be surprised if they start splitting into separate legal entities soon to get out of the pickup price matching restrictions.
How does this compare with something like PICO-8? Has anyone used both? (I understand that this is not a fantasy console and has no artificial limitations, I mean otherwise.)
Check if your language has a pipe operator. You may be able to do something like this:

Uranium can be used to create weapons, so we don't want to allow Uranium mining everywhere except a few safe spots. If demand for Uranium will increase, then price for Uranium will skyrocket (buyer marker will switch to seller market) and will match prices for other kinds of energy.
this. Interfaces do 90% of what generics are used for in other languages. The remaining 10% had been solved by boilerplate/generation. Yes, it will be nice to have a better answer for that 10%. But we'll probably end up with generics being used (badly) for 90% of cases instead.

As always in Go, follow the standard library. If they're hesitating to use generics, then that's solid advice.

Exactly. You can't, imo, usefully abstract login/anonymity from the context of what the site is. Is it a chatty forum, like hn? A wiki has somewhat objective or predefined goals. That legibility helps frame things and flame wars need to resolve somehow.

When a discussion thread on a forum erupts into flamewar, we just move on. No resolution is necessary except perhaps preventing the next flame war.
Same way that Apple, Amazon, or Facebook got to where they are: working to give users what users want (or think they want).

The same has been speculated in Finnish groups/forums, probably it affected the decision, but of course we can't know how much. They had also been thinking of going public, so this acquisition seems safer option
I've wondered about this. I sometimes use it for biking if I'm going to an unfamiliar part of the city, and its biking directions sometimes end up a bit weird, like taking a path that, while slightly shorter, is a bit more uncomfortable (crossing somewhere with busy traffic for example.) I've also noticed that it doesn't know about many easy to cross places that everyone uses and will suggest a longer route to an "official" U-turnable spot.

So, for the sections of the route I know I often ignore its directions and go my preferred way and just let it catch up. Assuming that many other people around here are making the same choices as me (perhaps a big assumption in some cases, definitely not all), it still has kept recommending the less-preferred routes.
And how is this worse? I'd prefer an upfront 20% increase instead of it being added later anyway in fees
Depends how you look at it.

Here in China (major cities) delivery is often free and when buying from delivery apps there are additional discount available that you can't get when visiting the restaurant.

So basically it's often cheaper to get food delivered to your home than going to the restaurant itself.
It is not purely emotional though. There currently are no permanent storages worldwide. The first might soon come online in Sweden, most waste us still in wet storage. Part of it in the ocean too...
But it's proprietary security through obscurity which is why this keeps happening.

A while ago(3com905(X) I've been more into firmware, having heavily modified them, and much later on dabbled with Realtek Wifi. The latter usually had some Mips3000 lookalike on them, partially less, partially more because of DSP and such. This should also apply to gazillions of cheap switches which can be configured via some Windows app.

So, except if you are referring to something like a RTL8139(X), I wouldn't be so sure :-)

And even then I wouldn't.

Bad analogy.
This. Art of typography. I stick to this a lot. Major problem here: A lot of corporate templates suck and changing them is pita or impossible due to non negotiable guidelines.
> Maybe the problem isn't the way the police are operating.

The problems are multi-faceted:

- some crimes, especially relating to drugs, were specifically invented (or their sentencing made harsher) to target people of color. Just remember the infamous quote of Nixon's top advisor: "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

- poverty, drug abuse and crime form a vicious circle. Over decades, that was mostly restricted to people of color, but the opioid crisis showed that the very same relationship also holds up in White, former solidly middle class people.

- related: prison sentences, even short stints in jail, for bullshit charges can and will have disastrous consequences like loss of employment and housing, which combined with the complete lack of a social security network leaves many people with only crime as alternative to make ends meet.

- "predictive policing", similar to AI/ML technology, feeds on existing biases in the datasets. When the "classic way" shows a high rate of crime in a PoC and gang dominated neighborhood, any form of "prediction" will direct more police presence there than to White, "rich" neighborhoods.

- related: where there is more police, the police will also find more crime. To take the drugs example: two people exchanging cash for crack on the street or an old, run-down car are visible, easy targets for cops. A "cocaine taxi" delivering stuff in an upper-class 'hood, with a brand new 7 series BMW? Won't ever get stopped for a random traffic control, despite the crime being the exact same.

Crime can't be combatted solely by using police repression. Anyone who seriously wants to tackle it has to go deep to the roots: a lack of societally positive perspective for way too many people of color thanks to structural discrimination, toxin exposure in "bad 'hoods" (lead paint, industrial effluents, traffic-related stuff like particulate matter dust), quality of education in public schools, a lack of clean and safe drugs forcing people to street vendors, un(der)educated police officers, ... the list is endless, and to fight the problems requires immense amounts of money and political clout.
The only redeeming grace is that, police being mostly un-armed in the UK, fleeing is still a realistic option.
So social media companies need to abide by Section 230 and stop moderation, returning to their roles as “carriers” only. Yes there are caveats, but mostly they can’t both expect protection of the First and Section 230 simultaneously.

It may not matter in this context but did the flutter team ever figure out jank on iOS especially first run? Something always seems off with that vs native. This was an old issue, but they seemed to struggle with addressing it / or it wasn't needed for their use cases.

At the start of construction, Hinkley Point C is estimating €8.1/W. This is still four times the initial estimates cost for Flamanville 3, €2/W. But it's a bit less than the current estimated cost of Flamanville 3, €11.5/W.

However this is all assuming that Hinkley Point C stays in budget and on schedule, which would be a strange assumption to make given recent history.

So I'm not sure anything is being learned, or construction capability is increasing. Which is a shame, because that area of the world is the area with the strongest need for nuclear. The rest of the world will get by fine without it. And for that matter, it's likely that Northern Europe can build enough wind and storage to get around their need for nuclear. But it all would have been a lot easier if the nuclear industry was anywhere close to delivering on its lofty promises.
One thing I regularly encounter is a typical "Tragedy of the Commons" problem with Google Maps. When they do route me, they often tend to route me through residential areas (in Germany these are often traffic reduced areas with respective speed limits). I imagine it is, because these routes tend to be very slightly shorter and often also at least a few seconds shorter in average duration.

I tend to use these "Schleichwege" (short cuts only locals know) as a local - but find me using them more and more when I use Google Maps in areas that i am just not familiar with.

In bigger cities I (anecdotally) see Google routing lots of traffic through these areas that were before mostly quite with only a few locals using them as short cuts. Now many more people are being routed through to combat the typical road congestion and for google to be able to mostly avoid traffic jams for the users.

When considering, that residential streets are not build to encounter this much traffic, they tend to degrade quicker - making the situation even worse for people living there.

I do not have a solution - or even made my mind up what to finally think about this. But this is one "data" point more for me to consider when thinking about costs and benefits to society from such a solution like Google Maps.
And for the same reason, it's the best place in the world for solar energy.
I absolutely love the 'shiny handcuffs'. My phone is an appliance, I don't want to bother about thinking about keeping it patched, about threats, about malware. I want to use the thing. If I want a general purpose computing device, I've got one of those.
The CSU system is very much, like community college. You have a very good mixture of highly motivated students who for financial reasons prefer a CSU. You also have people who are basically just drifting, and unsure of if they even belong in college. This is okay, but be aware their will be a very large motivation gap from student to student.
Yeah and the worst thing about this is that if anything, the trend is towards having less ownership rights on the desktop as well. Windows 11 and newer mac OS versions make it harder to run arbitrary software, under the guise of security.

A legal battle around securing the rights of ownership is severely needed in the 21st century, the same way the creation of the EPA and workers rights legislation were needed in the 20th.
I like flutter and would definitely pick it if I had to make a mobile app, but if you have to write a conditional at every step to pick the right component for each platform, I don't see the point of keeping one codebase any more. You're writing code twice, and you have to test it twice, and each underlying implementation can have its own quirks. It can only get worse if you have to work with platform-specific layouts that mean your larger views have to be conditionals as well. I can understand the impulse to have one common codebase for the logic, but these days you can do that with many languages - like Kotlin or Rust - while using the native UI toolkits. If you're writing what is essentially two view layouts, you might as well write them in the native toolkit and skip the overhead of flutter altogether.

One thing I haven't seen talked about much is the change to section 5.1.1 of the App Store Guidelines. While it is now allowed to contact users through other means (email) about alternative payment methods, Apple tries to limit apps from obtaining contact information in the first place.

See section (v) and (x) in 5.1.1: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#dat...

What has been learned is that the new third generation pressurised water reactor design was more complicated design than initial thought, as recognized by the Électricité de France. The first operational EPR unit started commercial operation in December 2018.

The gen 3 design is, depending on how you view it, 3 years old. It was found to be too expensive and too complex.

There exist new version of gen 3 reactors and there are design for gen 4 reactors, both claiming to solve many of the issues of the old gen 3 reactors.
