> It's about raising the bar to be difficult enough for enough people to not bother.

It does not do that either. I've been on certain... interesting forums, shall we say (in Tor; and I don't remember the names, was a casual stroll through it and I made no effort to write down any place I checked on -- before you ask). Whoever wants a cheat eventually finds the best cheat authors who are quiet and are not drawing attention to themselves but have public Web 2.0 sites where they sell their software.

Nobody has defeated a certain class of cheats yet. They hook up to the kernel even before the anti-cheat system and it's game over from there.

Let's not pretend that all this is for the user's safety. It probably is intended like so but nowadays it feels like the companies are just digging their heels in and doubling down on a measure that doesn't stop the truly dedicated cheaters whose software is very affordable to buy to the casual 13 year old who wants to have the best K/D ratio in Battlefield in their school.

And everybody else loses, including the companies because if Valve wants to install a kernel rootkit on my Linux machine they'll lose my business there (and I suspect most Linux users because we are of a certain mindset). And all casual gamers HATE the series of "Install X?" and "Are you sure?" banners, too. Annoy them for long enough and they'll just shrug and move to XBox / PS / Switch. I've seen it happen a good amount of times already.
>> In rural areas, cars make sense, because public transport is (usually) abysmal.

Where in rural America is public transportation not abysmal? I don’t believe there is anywhere in rural America where a personal vehicle can be completely replaced by public transportation.
Well, I tend to disagree about this point. Qt is C++ as much as an ice cream truck is a truck - sure, it IS technically a truck, but that's where the similarities end. Qt basically reimplements every single C++ container and function with its own, has a slew of concepts that go directly against the current C++ trends (i.e. lots of pointers everywhere, CoW, ...), and on top of that it uses a preprocessor and also uses its own custom language to describe UIs (QML).

I am a professional C++ developer what happens to work often with Qt developers and I assure you, the skill-set you acquire while developing on Qt does not transfer at all to plain, standard C++, and vice-versa.
It’s sickening how unethical of a move this is. EU regulators are going to deprive hundreds of millions of people from being closer together / sharing valuable memories. This will go down in history as one of the worst abuses of state power.

Before watching this: "Why can't cryptographers just figure out some tricks to crack these hash algorithms?"

After watching this: "How can any cryptographer EVER figured out any trick to crack these hash algorithms?!"
This reminds me that I've always wanted to make a huge interactive combinatorial circuit that computes SHA-256 and shows all its internal state, then put it on a site with the claim that anyone who can make its output match a certain clearly-constructed value (e.g. 0123456...ABCD...) will win a prize. No mentions of hash algorithms or other such phrasing to deter anyone. I wonder how many people would try such a "logic puzzle", how much time they'd spend on it, and if we might even get the first successful preimage attack from that.
Meh, mixed feelings about this.

I like Apple's payment system. It works, it's consistent, I can cancel things from a single menu. There are real benefits to me, the consumer, to using Apple's system.

On the flip side, other payment systems can be a hodgepodge of unsecured, user hostile (cancellations), and inconsistent. There can be real negatives to using other systems. More so some systems that don't have a consistent UX (ie, don't bump me into PayPal's UX or similar and have a branded payment page instead).

Basically, I'm not a fan of Apple being this heavy-handed. There has to be a happy middle ground. But, I also hate inconsistent payment workflows and loathe cancelling subscriptions elsewhere. Not sure what the right answer is, but as a consumer, I'm finding it hard to care about this.

The civil war predated the radio station by several years, and the colonialism that shaped the conflict occurred 50-100 years before the radio station was built.

This seems a bit like blaming the atom bomb for causing world war 2.

Why not just design UI in Glade, then load it and bind handlers to UI elements?
Perhaps the 27% is a troll, but the warning screen is 100% in line with how they always do things. Just like when you run an executable on your mac that you downloaded from the internet, they warn you and ask you if you really want to open it. That's not about money, it's about making it clear to users what they are about to do, so they don't have a bad experience and are put off Apple products.
I'm "relevant" to me; if I'm relevant to others, that's cool, but not a big deal. I don't have "competitors".

This "relevant" and "competitors" business seems to be about email marketing. There is no entitlement to use other people's mailservers and networks for your own private purposes.

This thread sounds like something from NANAE, around 2000AD.
EU is specifically drafting legislation for gatekeepers in Digital Markets Law.

TL;DR Apple and Google will have to allow to install third-party app stores trough their stores.

https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/en/TXT/?uri=COM%3A20...

Gatekeepers like Apple will have specific obligation according to Article 5:

(b) allow business users to offer the same products or services to end users through third party online intermediation services at prices or conditions that are different from those offered through the online intermediation services of the gatekeeper;

(c) allow business users to promote offers to end users acquired via the core platform service, and to conclude contracts with these end users regardless of whether for that purpose they use the core platform services of the gatekeeper or not, and allow end users to access and use, through the core platform services of the gatekeeper, content, subscriptions, features or other items by using the software application of a business user, where these items have been acquired by the end users from the relevant business user without using the core platform services of the gatekeeper;

And Article 6:

(c) allow the installation and effective use of third party software applications or software application stores using, or interoperating with, operating systems of that gatekeeper and allow these software applications or software application stores to be accessed by means other than the core platform services of that gatekeeper. The gatekeeper shall not be prevented from taking proportionate measures to ensure that third party software applications or software application stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system provided by the gatekeeper;

(k) apply fair and non-discriminatory general conditions of access for business users to its software application store designated pursuant to Article 3 of this Regulation.

Following articles, like:

- article 7: Compliance with obligations for gatekeepers

- article 10: Updating obligations for gatekeepers and

- article 11: Anti-circumvention

give the EU Commission quite a lot of executive power to ensure effective implementation.

The only straw argument here is that passport equality implies such a thing as:

> completely unrestricted immigration with zero checks and balance

EU citizens, whose passports are equal at least within the EU, can’t move to another EU country without the economic means to leave there. So one would expect this to be the most likely outcome of passport equality.

Said that, even if we assume that passport equality implies totally unrestricted immigration, the notion that it will result in foreigners migrating en mass to the English countryside to found horrid shantytowns and make everybody poorer is extremely bizarre, for such an event would be unique in the entire history of mankind.
I've been advised to ask for at least 35k, in Germany, to even get taken seriously.
The reason for shotgun houses in New Orleans is that the French property tax was created in the age of reason:
The primary cost of the property to the govt was linear road length (later sewer, water, electrical, gas, postal, etc.) so that's how they were taxed (yes, there are other reasons for the architecture, but taxes drives a lot)

Some study that came out a few years ago showed that cities lose money on the richer properties but recoup it in the denser, poorer areas. Not very reasonable.
Privately owned and operated means that squeezing out a little more profit hasn't much influence on the owner's wealth. Which happens to be the decisionmaker's wealth. And there's a real possibility that they will care how their money gets to them. But being publicly traded changes everything, suddenly a crowdsourced projection of profits into the future enters the picture, leveraged to the nth degree. This even affects companies still held by a strong founder majority. And when decisions are delegated to the salaried class, incentivized by options and bonus mechanisms, the payoff magnification effect gets even stronger. Suddenly a percentage point change in profits can cause a tenfold change in personal wealth. Or more. When there are tradeoffs to be made between decency and greed, always bet on the public company outdoing the private. It's not a guaranteed win, there are some truly nasty examples of privates, but they are outliers. Publicly traded means nasty by design.
no this is wrong, these cheats are completely unreliable, most people use DMA devices and NeTV2 overlay for league ACs
I personally will probably stick to only using Apple payments, but I respect the right of others to want to use different payment systems.

Plus other payment providers, such as PayPal and stripe have their own dispute resolution processes.
Noise and jitter in the VM should cancel out with repeated measurements.

Here's something interesting. If I run my test in a RHEL5 (Linux c. 2010) VirtualBox VM then it actually goes faster than a modern Linux kernel running on bare metal, taking only 14µs. If I run it in a RHEL7 VM then it needs 131µs.

So >1ms hello world execution should be a red flag. If that's actually the latency of GitHub's kernels and can't be explained by something like a shell script doing the time interval measurements, then it'd be interesting to learn what it's doing.
Language is organic, words and phrases take their meaning based on a social consensus derived from how they're routinely used, not because some person or group bestows a meaning from on high. The whole “When we say X we all really mean Y” is how practically all language works. When I say, "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse", no one in their right mind actually thinks that I could or would eat an entire horse, instead, everyone will correctly take the phrase to mean that I am very hungry.

It's for every type of export. Previously, it was 0% until $50K. 5% until $125K. 15% after $125K. So pretty near to what we have now. I don't expect it to get worse than that.
Hugh?

That's one of a great invention! I needed to think twice to understand how it will change the world and still can't see it. I mean,

- graph
- synapse sim-/emulation
- double arrays
- relationships in DBs
.. and the plain dict look up.

What is wrong with these and all other existing techniques to achieve connection between the data fields?

Will it be better to have a, say, dedicated darray, where each entry may/should contain referencing pointers? I can imagine, that this will save memory on storage side, but where is the difference to graphs or just RDB queries where the query is built dynamic?

The other thing.. yeah.. the author fully understood how to write a marketing article for the ones who got no brain and are completely stupid.. BOOOM... change the world... Everyone wants to be an evangelist.. BOOOM! NEW CAR!!!

Not sure I see the issue here - if I'm subscribing to something on iOS I expect to be able to cancel it in 1 click from my subscription settings.

But apparently it should be fine to circumvent that AND not alert the user to the fact that's happening.
> If we accept the ploy, then everything that isn't strictly necessary needs to go: Netflix, Google, computers in general, cars, trains; and we all need to return to living in harmony with nature and subsistence farming.

All these things have a value returned to society in some shape or form, even if just as entertainment.

Being more mindful about our resources' usage is not a ploy, it's simply the mindset we need to have if we plan on having a comfortable future, it's pretty basic thinking: we need to be more efficient and mindful of where we spend our limited resources because the wake up call has come.

This complete reductionist take on the environmental effects of PoW is absurd... Much more absurd than the argument that energy is better spent somewhere else than mining coins. Yeah, we have plenty of energy, do something more useful with it then, not consume a whole medium-sized country of energy to support an immutable ledger.
I think they started using their proton layer for dota2. I am lately experiencing lags during their heavy animations when presenting Arcana and special game modes, other than that it works fine. I have a lot of games since I buy 3 year old games for 5 dollars and most of them work fine. The newest games with special anti cheat systems probably do not work.

But this is a huge step. They are ahead of the competition. If the competition wants to offer something better than Steam they now need to invest heavily in linux support which increases the costs of development significantly.
Are you implying that random people will just start selling rides ad hoc?

Game (and other software) developers like to target stable APIs. Outside of the kernel, Linux has historically been incredibly unstable and fragmented. Vale shipped their own runtime libraries with Steam just to give native Linux game developers something consistent to target. If the Linux Desktop community solved that problem there might be more reason to make native ports.
I would argue that C is inheritance fast. C puts the least amount of shit between the code and the CPU. There is no runtime, GC, expensive abstractions, etc. Your code more or less directly becomes machine code and is executed.

Maybe a better way to frame it is that most other languages are inherently slow. Garabge collection will always be slower than non-GC. JIT and interpreted languages will always be slower than ahead-of-time compiled languages. etc etc.
Let me know if your 2011 car lasts 20 years.
For the spectral-norm one I think it's a failed attempt at parallelism. This code spawns 4000 tasks:

parallel:
for i in 0..<n:
spawn times_i(v, u, i, n, reverse)

(https://github.com/hanabi1224/Programming-Language-Benchmark...)

It's almost four times as slow as the otherwise identical single-threaded version.
I took a small look at your repo and noticed a possible issue: while Gravis Ultrasound did linear interpolation of samples [1], on Amiga all sample replay was strictly non-interpolated [2] ... essentially on each display scanline the hardware would check the period down-counter and load the next sample if zero was reached.

Isn't Apple now similarly messing with suppliers of iOS apps?
try this: https://thebricktestament.com/legacy.html
So devs should be able to bypass desired features of iOS and not alert the user that they're doing so?

Becuase if I wasnt informed, and they took a subscription that I was then unable to cancel in 1 click from my iCloud subscription settings, I would be very annoyed. Shady.
I think this is great, too. I just wish all the folk on hackernews that want to trash what apple have built would just go buy an Android phone and leave it alone. If you don’t like the AppStore, don’t buy an iPhone.
I don't disagree, especially nowadays, but for decades Windows and MacOS have had clearly superior desktop experiences. That's only changed relatively recently and it had a lot less to do with improvements on the Linux side than it did with the commercial OSs getting much worse.

I use Fedora Silverblue on two laptops right now. The experience is hardly what I would call "good"[0] and yet it's still the most reasonable I've had with Linux in a long time.

and the reputable importers of chinese brands pay attention to not import cloned sets and make sure that the MOC sets they get are properly licensed from the MOC designers. so what you get is much better than what it used to be.

bluebrixx is a german brand btw. they import many chinese brands but also design and produce their own sets. they recently started producing officially licensed star trek sets.

> As I understand it, you still need to identify yourself in countries without such an id, like the US or UK, for a lot of reasons, like when opening bank accounts, interacting with the state, etc. But without a national id card, this can become complicated, and these countries often use a lot of defacto ids "replacements" like birth certificates, driver's licenses and so on, which increases the bureaucracy for citizens/customers and potential for fraud.

There is a big difference between having it being compulsory to carry identification and being required to show identification when my identification need to be verified.

When I am buying my lunch. I don't need to verify who I am. If I am going to the bank they need to verify who I am.

> So while I see a lot of pros about national ids, what's the "horrid" drawback of ids?

Because I shouldn't need be required to carry a piece of paper/plastic card to go outside of my house. The idea of it is bonkers if you are in the UK.

If the identification isn't compulsory and is voluntary I have no problem with them. However from what I understand many places in Europe they are compulsory.
Too many of the answers here are theoretical. I'd like to propose a "Mark-to-Market" approach.

1. Apply/Interview and get a formal job offer on paper. If you cant get a job, your market value is a lot lower than you think.

A. Apply only to jobs where you would work, not some wretched job you wouldn't take, that isn't a real market rate FOR YOU.

B. Apply only to cities where you would live, not some theoretical "SF/SV" salary if you aren't willing to move/live there.

Ideally get three offers and average them. Your market rate baseline is that. Negotiation will get more.

2. Hopefully the above exercise finds you a job you WANT, not just a "Mark-to-Market" exercise. Take the job, be happy and go somewhere where you are paid well for good work.
Sure, but the MacBook Pro is only an example. There are plenty of x86 laptops that can do well over 10 hours of battery life.
The warning that apple forces you to add here insinuates that the thing you're going to is probably not safe and secure, which is ridiculous to _force_ app developers to do, and more importantly perhaps, that warning is all about apple.

It should be about the thing you're going to. Something like 'WARNING: You are being directed to payment provider 'X', please trust them before continuing with your payment' would (I think) be seen as far less hostile. That doesn't insinuate that what you're doing is unsafe, does make clear that apple has washed their hands of it, and isn't about apple: It's about X.
> MS was a supplier to the companies that made and sold computers. They got in trouble for messing with other suppliers.

Isn't this only true for the US antitrust case? IIRC the EU antitrust case was similar Apple's situation.
