This is very insightful.

Number 1 can be efficient but it isn’t satisfying if it was taken straight from a cookbook.

> But there is nothing instrinsically superior to the joy of #2 compared to #1. It's just a psychological/emotional preference.

I’m not sure about that. Feeling mastery and competence is intrinsically rewarding. And that’s easier to achieve with point number 2; if your mental model aligns more with the real thing then you are less likely to make mistakes and to have to look up reference material—you are less likely to get estranged from the task at hand.[1] And you are less likely to be bewildered by all the apparent complexity that surrounds you and that the sage old ones just tell you to put up with and to not question. I don’t think you would even mind being less efficient as long as you are in that sweet groove of point number two.

[1]: Modernity + alienation: efficient misery.
Blaming entire nations gives domestic justification for retaliation. No point giving up a card when it's handed to you. It is in a government's best interest to exploit every opportunity handed to them -- it's less effort than fabricating a reason when you need it later.
The second part is harder to defend against. I didn't flinch when LEO pointed a loaded gun at me and threatened to shoot me, but as soon as they threatened my wife I told them I would sign whatever fiction they wanted to write, which I did. It just took me close to 8 years of being in jail to get a judge to look at it and tell them off and throw out the document.
Apple, Google and Microsoft might just stop you as they get a better cut from the multimillion dollar app partners. Or your app might have some libraries that are having security issues.
I keep hearing this in this thread but I don’t follow.

> Based on evidence from clinical trials, in people ages 18 years and older, the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine was 94.1% effective at preventing laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 infection in people who received two doses and had no evidence of being previously infected.

If you’re prevent infection, aren’t you effectively reducing the R0 by definition? How is the vaccine making it harder to infect not reduce transmission rates?

Take it slow Google. You’ll have to redo it anyways once Apple announces theirs.
I thought they are paid salary. Isn't giving jabs part of their job?
That’s an excellent deal if they’re providing the capital. Make a bot that tries to mimic s&p500 exposure.
Interesting - I must have misunderstood. Is there a good protocol breakdown of the USB-C to Thunderbolt changes and switch-over? (I assume there has to be, as USB4 brings them closer together?)
If you wanted your comparison to be as lopsided as it sounds like you were thinking it was, you should've listed different companies. All three of those companies make high-end business laptops (EliteBook, Latitude/Precision, ThinkPad) that are absolutely built to last and have a cult following for it (ThinkPads especially). You should've listed Acer or some of the gaming brands to represent the ones that don't seem to last. I can say personally I have a ThinkPad X220T (Sandy Bridge) and ThinkPad T440p (Haswell) that are still working great. I sold a ThinkPad T60p just a few years ago that was still working as well, although it was showing its age with its 2GB of RAM and 32bit CPU (upgradable to a 64bit Core 2 Duo in theory).
NCC and noyb GDPR complaint: “Grindr” fined € 6.3 Mio over illegal data sharing
I've thought about this... but Apple's developer agreement has some wording in it that makes me believe it may not be possible. I'm no lawyer, so it's certainly something I could ask if I go the legal route.

Thanks for the suggestion!

> Apple shall not be responsible for any costs, expenses, damages, losses or other liabilities You may incur as a result of Your Application development, use of the Apple Software, Apple Services (including this digital notary service), or Apple Certificates, tickets, or participation in the Program, including without limitation the fact that Apple performs security checks on Your Application.

I looked at it real quick, it's not one of the states that copy-pastes the 4th Am like a lot do, but it also doesn't seem to offer up any extra protections like some states do, as you mention.
It doesn't really make sense to have unix commands output json or yaml. They're already doing a form of parsing internally, you're then asking them to encode the output in another text format so you can parse it again. Why? You'd have better results just using the underlying API to get a list of files, and this is what every other program that needs to get a list of files actually does. From a scripting perspective this is one of the things that powershell actually got right.
> If you and your team are better at taking care of hardware than an entire building full of highly paid engineering specialists

The trade offs aren't quite that simple. Those specialists are necessary because they're building and maintaining infrastructure that's extremely complex since it has a crazy scale and has to be all things to all people. When you're running in-house, your infrastructure is simpler because it's custom tailored to your specific requirements and scale.

There are tradeoffs that make cloud vs local make sense in different contexts and there's no one right answer.
If they send assassins to your home because you know too much, OPSEC no longer matters. You're as good as dead if you don't immediately escalate to deadly force. Instead of destroying data, the computer should be uploading and publishing as much of it as possible so that whatever you're doing can't be stopped no matter what happens to you.
I disagree. It was and is an AR product.

Re-watch this early promo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErpNpR3XYUw

There are several clear AR features displayed. There's a location based notification about the subway service upon getting close to the entrance. There's overlaid compass based walking directions. There's GPS based location identification and check-in. AR is more than just computer vision driven overlays. Though that tech wasn't available to be put in a HMD at the time, these GPS driven features absolutely were AR features and the original Glass should rightfully be considered the first AR consumer product.

Furthermore, the product still exists as the Enterprise Edition 2 and this current version supports computer vison and object identification applications, further strengthening its AR use cases.
As long as she avoids getting close to any party officials, she should be ok.
Yes and no. I remember the dotcom boom-bust a bit, although I was a child at the time. I think a lot of crypto and web3 stuff is where the dotcoms were in the 90s: A lot of people chasing the money and who are aware that this is a Big Deal but we haven't figured out the specifics so everybody's rushing in because of first-mover advantage.

FAANG and dev positions in general, though, I think people are treating like they used to treat being a doctor/lawyer/accountant: It's a good, steady living and it will always be around. That's very different from the dot-com boom, which was way more a gold rush, even at the entry level. ("They're willing to pay HOW MUCH for the stuff I was playing around with?") Somebody who started at Google in 1999 (or Amazon, or even FB in 2006) is very different than most people entering those companies now. The dotcom was high risk high reward like modern web3/crypto, whereas modern swe positions are low risk medium high reward, which makes them great for people who are more risk averse for whatever reason.
> If anything, businesses have allowed us to spend way more time with family than we would if we actually had to hunt / farm / gather for food.

That is untrue. There is ample evidence that hunter-gatherer societies have more leisure time than industrialized societies. Just to name two sources I've recently read: Harari covers it in Sapiens, and before that Mumford covered it in Technics and Human Development.
Yes, but the primary units should always be SI. They can put the US Customary units in brackets after.
> It's very easy to believe that the CIA etc. wanted Castro's head and an invasion, and that they were upset JFK wasn't supportive, and that they took a lot of clandestine steps towards 'something'.

This is the part I never understand about this approach though - The Bay of Pigs invasion happened on Kennedy’s watch, as did his push back on the Missile Crisis and the embargo so this narrative that he was soft on Cuba or something just isn’t the case.
As a Pinebook Pro user I can confirm that the panfrost drivers make it a vastly more usable platform ever since that team released them. Its not perfect, but its better than nothing.
At least for certificate issuance they can turn it off via a CAA record:

Agreed - perhaps blockchain is too buzzwordy.

I'm not thinking something super complicated. Basically envisioning a tool that is a fork of git itself with two features disabled/tweaked (i.e. disable forking, require consensus before PR merge to master).

Probably the hardest part is creating a UX that lawyers can understand and trust.
> he claimed to one of his biographers to not recall where he was when he found out JFK had been killed.

The theory I heard was that he had suspiciously given two contradictory answers, perhaps one saying he didn't remember, and one saying that he did remember (providing a location that wasn't Dallas). Given the passage of time, and the fact that he visited many locations as part of his political campaigning, it's perhaps reasonable for him to have eventually forgotten the name of the particular place he was when he heard the news.

Here is a discussion which tries to source the claim that he once stated he was in Tyler, Texas on the day of the assassination:

I think his point (and the broader point being assumed by the author) was that "spending your time in activities that realize your self" does, in fact, feel a lot like work.
I'd add:

- innate difficulty: it's a bit harder to make an application on a 286 machine, you need to think more, you can't clone a template and tweak a few things to get a fully featured platform

- also, more utility driven, can't make shiny visual and presentation. the app has steps toward goals and you get done quicker.
I'd happily change the libs if there was an issue. I'm not aware of any and Apple hasn't indicated any. I take effort to keep libraries up to date, but certainly don't have everything on latest.
The fertility rate among american atheists is 1.24. Seems like kind of an impediment to asserting that other frameworks are the problem.
I also started with ZX81. For a while, I didn't have a cable for tape recorder. A couple of magazines came with my ZX. Inside, there were some listings of games in BASIC. So, to play a game, a had to retype the code every time I restarted the computer. After a while, I started changing the code to see what will happen.

That's how I learnt to code.
It's not clear that the $120M in defunding ever actually happened:

Based on this article, it looks like Y/Y spending on law enforcement was flat, maybe even up when you include funding to the SF Sheriff, DA, and Probation offices.
It Takes a Community: The Open-Source Challenge
My reference for nudism is various parts of the Isar and Englisch Garten in Munich. In the US, nudist sites aren't really a thing, certainly not in any major city.
I'm curious what you mean by bankable here? While I'd agree that there is idealism, it seems like reasonable efforts to cut through the catch-22 of funding nascent ideas (exemplified by the old chestnut about getting funding for work already done to do your new work under the table) and making stable career positions for folks who don't want to become a PI. I'd like to see what this really looks like after a couple years, but it doesn't seem completely naive.
The platform is wary of surveillance applications, which often have off-label use as stalking tools. It's not so much about whether people agree with parental controls or not; it's that Apple sets a different standard for intrusive parental control software than it does for other tools, because parental control tools are widely misused.

If that's the problem you're running up against here, and not that you somehow embedded malware/adware into your app that they screen for, I think you might have trouble getting anywhere with this.
Unfortunately the vacuum, a shiny IoT connected appliance, didn't work because AWS was down
What is the problem exactly? I use FreeBSD (and Linux) for years and not aware that Home/End behave differently in FreeBSD. Default FreeBSD shell was until recently tcsh and it is a bit quirky but in tcsh Home/End work by default. sh is another shell from FreeBSD base system - it is small and simple but even there Home/End work with `set -o emacs` in .shrc (it is in default .shrc, from /usr/share/skel/).
This also has, IIRC, Geraldine McEwan -- later on much better known for her miss Marple -- as the crazy old witch. (Or maybe that was some other Arthur movie?)
It seems like you keep pushing the narrative that problems with SF are not real and a fabrication of the GOP. You have posted multiple comments doing this.

But you don’t live in SF and have no firsthand knowledge. All you are doing is advancing your own political agenda from a remote location through online commenting, with no regard to the truth people here are witnessing.
I would figure a lot higher percentage of people are aware of JFK's death than failed attempts on Castro.
I am one of the organizers of this Coalition. We expect to publish technical specification in Q1 2022. It will be a github repo and include the specs behind the common file format called OCF (Open Cap Table Format).
Why would anyone serious about this be running Windows in the first place? A live Linux operating system is so much better. Tails is designed for this.
I‘m sorry for You. I can see how you‘d think that your software is providing society a service. And yet from my perspective your software is malware. I don’t think you have considered the legal ramifications of your software in all markets where the app store is offered. Aside from the legal risk to You, there is also a reputational risk to Apple, a company trying to rebrand itself by focussing on privacy (CSAM nonwithstanding). Do you have safeguards that can 100% rule out the use of your App as spyware ? I think you should move on with your life.
I highly recommend Kent Beck's keynote talk from RailsConf 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aApmOZwdPqA (or if you prefer, a more recent blog post with a similar message): https://medium.com/@kentbeck_7670/accountability-in-software.... Software development is hard, and it's easy to do things the wrong way. The thing to do is figure out how to do things that give you confidence you're doing things the right way.

In some ways, it can look bad for someone in leadership, like a CTO, to get called out for not doing things the right way. At the same time though, if you and the leadership in your company have hired the right engineers working with you, even if you are the CTO hopefully people working with you know more about specific areas than you do, and as CTO you can help make sure that things fit together. So what if you get feedback on how to do things better? You as CTO have a chance to set an example to others on the team for how to receive feedback constructively.

If I create my own coin which only I trade and I have two wallets. Wallet A places a buy for 1 coin at 1 cent. Wallet B fills the order. Wallet A places a sell order for 1 coin at 2c. Wallet B buys it. Rinse repeat and suddenly the coin is trading at 10k USD. Spin up more wallets and you suddenly make it seem like there’s liquidity except there isn’t because you’re not buying anyone else’s coins. This is literally how Scamcoin worked. - you could buy the coin but there were no buyers to offload your coins onto.
The tech is fantastic, and your writing skills also stood out to me. This is excellent work all around.
Small claims court is for what it sounds like - small claims (< 5-10k depending on state).
Yes, the things we derive satisfaction from are because of our ability to slot things into a preexisting framework, proving our opinions correct (which we all love to happen) and releasing dopamine (probably). There is no such thing from applying a specific special case from a piece of software.
I liked tinkering with computers all the time before I started working as software engineer. But after over one year of working I started wanting everything to just work so I don't need to do anything with it...
Crunchyroll seems to barely work at the best of times, and when it does, it's still a mess.

All sorts of issues still unresolved for years, including the ridiculously annoying "Finishes playing season English sub, autoplays first season of German dub, which then gets stuck". Still no profiles (nerfing their super-premium offering). Auto-resume points are unreliable, the Android app is hot garbage at dealing with network disruption...

I can only imagine their back-end is mostly Visual Basic running on a single AWS-powered VM.
This is true for the good and bad.

Apple removed CD drives and Ethernet ports: everyone does.

Apple removes HDMI, many do.

Apple removes headphone jack from phones: everyone mocks, the follows.
I disagree that they're expensive. Expensive to own maybe, but you can rent them on a monthly basis from something like Hetzner or OVH for a fraction of the cost of AWS (especially when you include bandwidth which is free and unmetered in this case) and they handle hardware maintenance for you.

Hard to setup is relative. It all depends on what you're doing and how much reliability you need. For a side project or a dev server you can just start with Debian, stick to packaged software (most language runtimes and services such as Postgres or Redis are available) as much as possible and call it a day. You can even enable auto-updates on such a stable distro.

The knowledge you'll gain by dealing with bare-metal is also going to be useful in the cloud even in container environments.
Do you embed any monitoring, performance tracking, revenue-generation, advertising, or tracing tools in the app? Did you at any previous time?

(I think it's just as likely that you're pattern-matching against stalker software that Apple screens for, just by dint of what your app does).
> They’ve built the groundwork by pushing out LiDAR.

I'm convinced the LiDAR on phones is apple's big beta test of lidar on AR Glasses - to potentially avoid adding a camera and the related controversy associated with it.
Everyone agrees that people need to do certain things to survive. What complicates this line of thinking are the social facts that are assumed when we conceptualize work. The way that work is conceptualized is culturally specific across space and time. The construction "eating implies survival implies work" doesn't imply that our culturally specific conceptualization of work is implied. There are many interesting ways to have conversations about work means, how it changes, and what factors influence how people think about what work is and isn't.
What would drive me crazy is pointing out code that _clearly_ did not do what it was supposed to do and get back, at best, a shrug. I think I'm pretty open minded on most tech topics -- I started with PHP! If the code works I'm happy, everything else is gravy! -- but to have people insist that, no, this is fine and, yup, being on-call with services guaranteed to wake you up at 2AM at least once during your rotation and our stakeholders sending nasty grams once a month is just normal... crazy making.
Then why do they allow competitors to do it? They should be facing the same issues.
Yeah but this "weird dude" has the backstory of being a US Marine, who defected to the USSR and then defected back to the US... Why assume they stopped being a state actor.
I just finished watching 11.22.63 which is based on that novel and it's so good
> Having gone through a handful of periods of a few months where I wasn’t working and was also not engaged in an existential struggle for survival, I have to disagree here.

Sure but that is taking a short break from your job/career. Its not like leaving school and never working.

At least on the 2021 model G14/15, sleep is outright disabled. They never did get it to work. There's also a relay-based cutoff for the discrete nvidia gpu, because that was the only way Asus could find to prevent phantom power draw on battery.

It still doesn't have anywhere near as good battery life as a macbook, and while the CPU is fast, it's slower than the M1.
You can engineer for any number of nines and still have massive outages.
Christianity doesn't require you to hate anyone. And any moral framework worth it's salt will require self denial and rejecting your natural desires.

We've been using Amplify for a while and generally working around issues. Just out of interest, what stack would you use instead of Amplify?

Things we would specifically miss:

- integration with Cognito and Authentication

- schema to DyamoDB generation (tables, indexes etc)

- generation of CloudFront templates

- generation of AppSync resolvers

Also curious about using SAM / serverless framework vs Amplify functions.
And since you already have graphical output, because it is a GIF displayed in iMessage, and you have access to gestures, since you exploited OS and can get access to any input, you should be able to have fully playable DooM in iMessage! You can even share that game with friends (who run unpatched iOS)!
Isn't it all similar to Microsoft's efforts in mobile devices? I mean gates tried really hard to create a windows on a mobile device. Nokia and co tried by the way as well. Then came apple from nowhere with the first iphone.

I bet something like this happens again, so I don't think it will be facebook, google, or apple. Ok maybe apple. But I would rather bet a good working device will come unexpected and will make a huge impact - like the iphone did.
