That’s the 2nd time you’ve posted that and it wasn’t right the first time you said it either.

CPython’s virtual machine is stack based thus the byte code is more than just tokenised source code.

In fact there’d be very little point just tokenising the source code and interpreting that because you get no performance benefit over that vs running straight off the source. Whereas compiling to a stack machine does allow you to make stronger assertions about the runtime.

One could argue that the byte code in the VM is interpreted but one could also argue that instructions in a Windows PE or Linux ELF are interpreted too. However normal people don’t say that. Normal people define “interpreted” as languages that execute from source. CPython doesn’t do this, it compiles to byte code that is executed on a stack machine.

Hence why I keep saying the term “interpreted” is misused these days.

Or to put it another way, Visual Basic and Java behaved similarly in the 90s. They compiled to P-Code/byte code that would execute inside a virtual machine and at that time the pseudo code (as some called it - not to be confused with human readable pseudo code but technically “pseudo” is what the “P” stands for in “P-code”) was interpreted instruction by instruction inside a stack machine.

Those languages were not classed as “interpreted”.

The only distinction between them and CPython is that they were AOT and CPython is JIT. And now we are back to my point about how you’re conflating “interpretation” with “JIT”.
more important not to confuse it with the bird, which will kill you.

So if I have a 2000px tall browser I'm going to see a dozen ads? Why?
No, I'm more on the chip side of things than the synth side so I haven't tried out much.
Look into Intel GVT-G... Otherwise your best bet is Wine.
Can you use them to communicate? Then, yes, they work just fine. Are they limited in what they can do? Of course they are, but when the entire country is largely offline, you'll take what you can get.

Nobody (I hope) is trying to use the other options to stream Netflix at the moment.

Would a Starlink setup be better? Absolutely, but that has also had issues, which meant that it wasn't an option at all. Hopefully are now addressed and Tonga will have better communications options. I'm pretty impressed by their ability to get a new ground station up and running so quickly.
They're still a relatively small portion of the operational constellation, so while better than nothing, they aren't common enough to rely on for continuous service, thus the choice of Fiji for this temporary station.

While this will likely not be the case within another year, what matters in relation to this is what they can do right now, not in another year. This shouldn't be taken as criticism of Starlink, but rather an example of the possibilities as the fully featured constellation starts to become ready.

Eventually they wouldn't need to send over engineers to setup a base station, they'd just send over some dishes and adjust routing priorities.

One day linkedin proposed a test to me (it was Python) so I tried it because I was curious what kind of questions they ask. It was like 10 questions, with some random stuff about syntax, maybe how to use a dict for example. And then I got a badge. I have no idea how I would use that when hiring, it tells nothing about the candidates actual ability or experience with the "skill"
I have to agree with several other commenters here. I don’t understand what you‘re objecting to. The bank is making a reasonable attempt to comply with sanctions.
My wife was a high level government official in the finance and tax area; she helped me do some calculations showing that the government taxes (direct and indirect on the entire chain) make all the product prices approximately double, some more than triple. Nobody is complaining about this, even if people have no alternatives when paying for utilities or food, while a smartphone is by far optional: you can always buy a cheap phone for communication and you can easily live without apps on the phone (like we did until 10 years ago).

The point? I don't care about rip-off on optional products if I cannot avoid the rip-off on the most basic human needs. I vote with my wallet not to pay Apple anything, problem solved.
LinkedIn's social network is as necessary as Venmo's, which is to say just barely.

User engagement's siren song is irresistible to data-driven product orgs.

Is there a Law yet (like Zawinski's) that any app with enough users will attempt to become a social network?
It causes developers to raise prices, which hurts the user. The user does not know why the prices went up, or that they can purchase outside of Apple for a significantly cheaper price.

It's also not right to say that this is fine since users still use Apple. Remember when Apple said they would introduce CSAM scanning into iOS? Was their entire userbase going to ditch them and move to Android? Definitely not. But they still retracted the move after constant negative press coverage and outrage from consumers. Some of us still want to use these platforms but are upset at Apple precisely because they can change.
> Even in the most freedom-loving society, you're going to need some mechanism to discipline policy makers when they make bad decisions.

The point was that there wouldn't be very much in the way of "policy" in a society grounded in a culture of liberty and freedom. A "government" which is bound to respect everyone's natural rights at all times is really nothing more than a corporation or co-op (either for-profit or non-profit). It can't levy taxes or impose regulations on non-members, or force anyone to become or remain a member against their will. Whatever "policies" it might decide on, it can't compel anyone else to follow them. The way to "discipline policy makers" in such a system is simply to cancel your membership, and perhaps switch to a competing organization—and this option is available to you regardless of how the organization makes its decisions.

To be clear, I'm not opposed to employing democracy in this way, just as co-ops may have elected leaders or shareholders may vote on proposals offered by a board of directors. There are times to seek consensus and work through issues as a group, just as there are times for clear, unified leadership. But if someone wants to sign up with an organization with an "autocratic" leader who doesn't care about anyone else's opinion, that's fine too—provided they don't force their system on anyone who doesn't choose to follow them.
At the kernel level, yes. But they are talking about CRT, which parses the command line and makes argv from user space, if your linker is set up to have a main() and not WinMain.

That is why they put MSVC in parens.
For me, the worst cringe was when I was “recommended” for skills the recommenders didn’t understand. Being recommended by people even one level below you is cringe. Work is not like being a TA.
I'm willing to bet you're wrong. Prices go down when competition exists. Without hardware lock in people price shop.
There is a huge irony to Twitter using LinkedIn as a punching bag. Twitter is full of people pretending to be cool and popular and witty by doing things like making fun of LinkedIn posts for being fake.
I have an endorsement for HTML by a salesperson at a publishing company I did some IT work for during college.
I think you probably didn’t spend enough time with Go, it is objectively much easier to learn because there is no borrow checker, no generics, no macros, etc.
It’s compiled to a stack machine. Exactly like how a lot of AOT compiled languages originally used byte code too. Oddly enough they were never called “interpreted” languages. Which means the difference here isn’t the tech stack / compilation process but rather at what stage the compiler is invoked.

I’ve written more on to your other post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30215323
Well, first to set the context. Most money on the App Store isn’t being spent on the little Indy developer. It came out in the Epic trial that the large majority is being spent on games, in-app purchases and loot boxes on pay to win games.

Now, let’s talk about the challenges on the App Store for the Indy developer. 15% vs 30% is the least of it.

1. You have to be discovered among the millions of other apps. The App Store is horrible for discoverability. Even if you do get a one day pop from it being spotlighted, that’s fleeting.
2. The value of an application has been devalued. Back in the day, people didn’t mind spending real money on applications. People think spending $10 on a mobile app is overpriced.

3. No one wants to pay for upgrades even if the App Store made that easy. I once bought an app - Tempo Magic in 2010. I hadn’t thought about it for years. But 10 years later I looked for it. Downloaded it and it still worked. The developer has kept the app working for a decade and through the 32 bit to 64 bit transition. I haven’t paid a penny more for it. How is a developer suppose to sustain themselves?

The only business model where high quality productivity apps are sustainable are via subscriptions. That’s why you have MS Office available.
You mean this couldn't possibly be a market failure?
LinkedIn has been doubling down on this though. In the past week I've been hearing this new podcast ad from them about how "LinkedIn helps you be you real self". It's pretty bad. Can't find it right now but I've been hearing it non stop for a few days now.

Well the reason the posts are cringe, is because they're all written by the people who think posting to linkedin is a good idea.

A bit like Facebook - except you don't actually like any of them.
Reminded me of the emails we constantly got with the subject “BANG A GONG!!!” at my last work place. It was only for sales achievements, and I never saw an email like that for any other department. It was nice they used the same subject every time, so I could filter them out.

My parents live in India and one day I want them living with me

Why not stay in India and built your enterprise there. The West is on the way downwards, India is on the way upwards. It's the Asian Century. *

Also, why put your parents through a huge disruption in their lives by taking them away from India? Why not keep them in India where they are comfortable and are familiar with everything?

* Watch for the dissenting opinions! :)
That’s the same thing Adobe thought when Flash wouldn’t work in the iPhone.

There is zero upside and all downside, AML laws are kafkaesque bullshit.

Other posters here stating that this is your fault are technically correct but also are being arseholes by not giving actionable advice.
Yeah it makes little sense. I have my primary school teacher endorsing me as a derivatives expert. Seems to not bother LinkedIn, weighs the same as an actual colleague endorsing me.

I think nobody really cares though, they see it's a cheap signal and adjust accordingly.
Absolutely. It will either ignore the terms, or claim that no results are found.

Perhaps it no longer indexes as much as it used to, at least for noncommercial content.
> user hostility can't exist because being a user is a choice

User hostility can exist exactly at the level that the market (the users) will bear it. If the prices for things were 10x, then users would clearly notice and leave. If the prices are 1.3x where x is almost always < $10, the users simply don't give enough of a shite to do anything about it, which is why it's not users that are upset here.
It's only 100k people. I'm sure nobody is able to pull huge bandwidth but even if every man, woman, and child on the island was hammering away at it 24/7, that's 100kbit per person. Slow, but usable.
I don't think this is true - most of the examples people cite look more like they used underpaid contractors to manually recreate storefronts and billboards with shoddy clip art and plain fonts. ML-based upscaling wouldn't replace the hot dog in the background here with a completely different style of hot dog like in this example.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GTA/comments/qs22ee/this_is_unforgi...

The idea that they hacked a bunch of ML models together to do that instead of just outsourcing it doesn't hold up to muster.
What people want is to stop being forced to pay Apple’s 15-30%.

Alternative payment processors were never going to accomplish that, as this case shows. You can make Apple accept alternative payment processors, but that doesn’t really change the price they set for using their store.

Unless you want to abandon a free market economy, a government can’t force a company to provide a certain service at a certain price. Squeeze one spot with regulation and a company will extract more revenue from another. Squeeze everywhere and a company will leave the market.

What they should do is force Apple to allow competing stores.

Apple can keep it’s 15-30%… if it can compete at that level. If not, it will have to adjust, by either offering something more compelling to developers or charging them less. And if Apple can’t do well enough, and pulls back from its app store, then, well, iPhone users will still have the stores of all those stronger competitors to choose from.

We don’t have to wonder what a platform with a competing sources for software looks like. We have a bunch of them, and they seem to work well.
I know the creators get at least some of it. I have no idea if it's more or less than they would get with ads. I also pay for premium, and I'm fine with Google getting some of it. After all, it's not free to host and stream millions of petabytes of data. I really enjoy YouTube without the ads. It might actually be one of the last videos streaming services I'd get rid of.
It's been inspiring watching SerenityOS come to life with every update.

One of the things I look forward to at the start of every month is SerenityOS's monthly update, this was the latest January 2022 update where they've done a port of Half Life and their continual improvements to their libGL implementation:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL-RCV5a-C4

Due to the sheer gravity of the task it may not ever become a mainstream OS but because its entire source code is built from scratch and all maintained within the same repo, it's easily able to prototype new OS features you're unlikely to see anywhere else. In that regard it's possibly the easiest codebase to prototype new OS features given you can make changes to any part of the OS & view changes immediately.
Saw it on hackaday. Really cool but I really wish they had added Bluetooth low energy :) That would make it so much more useful
On a recent discussion of FreeCAD[1] Solvespace was mentioned and after taking a quick glance at it, it certainly seems promising to me, although I do have very modest needs when it comes to CAD :-)

Isn't the preferred solution just to continue hacking at Wine? With Proton going big this year, I'm hopeful that the non-gaming side of Wine is going to start getting more and more development attention soon. The performance is so much better than virtualization. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for sharing, we did do a POC of it in the company I work for as an alternative for elastic-search, and it worked pretty well(in most cases).

Unfortunately, we end up not moving forward with it because we need new ingestion to be available super quickly. I hope to see new versions improving that too.

Thanks for the list of competitors. I will take a look at them
I've used wine (typically via playonlinix in recent years) but it's hit and miss. Online games aren't always happy with it (especially with cheat detection), performance is sometimes worse (especially on older hardware) and sometimes you can make it work but only if you spend a few hours fixing things.

The best way to do it is to have a seperate GPU that you pass through fully to the Windows VM - a friend has that setup - which works perfectly but then you can't use that gpu in Linux and I don't particularly think it's worth it for me to have multiple GPUs when wsl gives me 99% of what I want with minimal setup.
I first used FreeCAD around version 0.12 for designing simple parts for my 3D printer. At the time, it was very buggy and would reliably crash or corrupt your model if you ever tried to go back and edit a previously specified dimension or even just clicked the wrong thing. I ended up starting a new model from scratch whenever I needed to go back and change something.

I started using the latest versions (0.18, 0.19) again recently, and the experience is dramatically better. I’ve designed about a dozen distinct models and have been able to make major changes to a part without any crashes or bugs, and a number of much-needed ergonomic improvements have made the part design process much quicker and less frustrating. Thanks, FreeCAD devs! Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
> It's also somewhat of a hassle to send messages and photos to people when you want to share it broadly, such as a trip you went on or something.

Again just my perspective but I don’t see value in broadcasting experience to a wide audience. I would view that as “content”. I don’t think it has any positive qualities. The RSS feed is a good way of thinking about it, but I say just don’t post and who cares about your trip ya know? If you don’t care to tell someone in person or over a phone call or some other directed means I think you don’t need to share anything. Again just my perspective on that. Which is why I’ve really only ever used Twitter to complain into the void from time to time.
I only see just one ad.
I don't see why pushing this out to glibc would help. Glibc would then face the same question about whether or not some programs rely on current behavior and would break.

Speaking of "good faith", do I need to continue? Were you legitimately unaware of this, or is this where you try to excuse it as something other than what it is - racism.
Actually it’s not. Your early life social group becoming irrelevant to your life a decade later is NOT representative at all. What is accurate to say is the OP is not connecting with his old friends anymore. But let’s be real here, not everyone’s like that. Facebook is just a tool to connect with people. Attributing and expecting Facebook to make your friendships more relevant and meaningful is foolish and hopeless.

Sure you have a choice--most obvious is Android and in fact that is what most people use. I really don't understand how you can call Apple a monopoly unless you call all vertical integration such. You don't have a choice of your own seat manufacturer when you buy a vehicle either. That's not particularly "anticompetitive".

In any case, this is beside my original point. My original comment was addressing a specific argument that suggested users are not a stakeholder in this matter because the agreement is between developers and Apple, which I find to be a ridiculous characterization. I am not holistically evaluating Apple's market positioning here. As one other comment points out, this is ultimately a broad political choice for the society at large, not necessarily one that could be concluded one way or the other by abstract analysis.

[My personal opinion on this matter is pretty much orthogonal to the "payment methods" debate which I find to ultimately be a negotiation between corporate entities on who earns how much. What I do want for the society to regulate is the ability for the end user to run their own software stack should they choose to, on a device they pay for. I am comfortable with the fact that should you choose to run iOS, you get the entire iOS experience.]
This is why i use Angular, alot of things are already implemented and working, its easy with nswag on top of api's. mostly i just use the framework rather than taking a bunch of design decisions, i just cant get along with the custom vue/react applications :(

I know you're just trying to make a point here, but not all of the Ivermectin research was fraudulent. There was some (seemingly) legit work from India/Bangladesh where Ivermectin did significantly increase the chance of survival among COVID patients.

(To be fair, these same regions where the legit studies are from also have a high prevalence of parasitic worm infections, but it's still a poignant reminder that removing complicating factors can help heal the primary disease.)
