It's a small win in some respects. But Apple have been very too at only opening the door on payments that little bit. I would assume (and hope) that this will be the thin edge of the wedge and it will expand over time.
There are a lot of solutions out there where you can share your datatypes between the client and server now though, and it's great!

Yeah, we went from low throughput to multi-gigabyte/second workloads, for example consuming the NYSE entire firehose+downstream analytics.
>> Without external restraints, any sufficiently large company will focus on eliminating competition either through pricing them out of the market or just outright buying them.

> The counterargument is that this only happens in markets with high barriers to entry, which in turn are mostly caused by regulatory barriers.

Not necessarily. For instance: if the barriers to entry are zero but the monopoly can price things below cost (e.g. due to cash reserves or strength in other markets), it can bury any competitor. The mere existence of that ability could have a deterrent effect that prevents competitors from forming in the first place.
I picked the most-viewed one I saw on there and it was like "pWISS-unt"

I really hope that's one of the incorrect ones, because otherwise I've never once pronounced it correctly. I pronounce it as in the French but without the nasal on "-ant" and I hit the T just a bit (it's typically written as a loan word, not an italicized foreign word, after all).
Or use the caps lock key and have that reflected on screen.

Do you realize that the consequences of spreading this message (to the degree it's successful) is, ironically, to hand over all power to the corporations.

You are encouraging people to believe they are powerless and stop doing anything themselves. Action and collective action are very powerful and have changed the world. The Internet should empower that (and did, such as during the Arab Spring) but sadly, it is now used to shut it down through this kind of messaging.

Who does that messaging - despair, you are powerless, you are nothing - who does it serve? There you will find its source, I think.
The latest models of Xbox and PlayStation are basically just Ryzen 3700X + Radeon 5700XT PCs, with the former running a Windows variant and the latter running a FreeBSD variant. They’re pretty similar in stymied potential to iOS devices.

There are quite a few Russian analysts which believe Russia will gain from climate change (unblocked Northern route, more workable soil, lower heating expenditures). Don't expect any help from Russia on this.
The problems with brigading, and in general using downvotes for manipulating what other people see, can be mitigated by doing personalized ranking (which Twitter already does - this is just a tweak). For your personalized ranking, the downvotes of people similar to you would count much more than those from people different from you. So if a group comes in and brigades a thread, their votes won't do anything to your view if they're not similar to you.

This opens a question, though, of whether the person who started a thread should have any control over the conversation other people see. In the extreme, it could be almost like those browser extensions where your group has a parallel conversation about a website, unrelated to the comments on the site itself. In the other extreme, the OP of a thread is curator of their personal walled garden, where their enemies' replies are all auto-hidden.
I accidentally deleted the parent thread, when I meant to hit edit. but, my name is alex & I am the founder. happy to answer questions.
>Take the analogy between worrying about artificial general intelligence (AGI) and worrying about traffic on Mars. This could be restated as “Worrying about the rise of AGI is silly because AGI isn’t going to happen for a long time, and any effort put into solving it is wasted.” Is that correct? Maybe, I don’t know! But what does the analogy add over a direct argument?

It makes the remoteness and silliness of the concern more apparent.

Note that this doesn't mean that the actual "rise of AGI" must actually be a silly notion or remote in time, for the analogy to be good.

The analogy is used to communicate what the person making it thinks is the case. If they want to communicate effectively that the "rise of AGI" is a silly concern for the far future, then it's a good analogy.

Whether in reality the "rise of AGI" is a serious and pressing concern, is orthogonal to how good the analogy is.
Indeed, that is the argument Apple is making, and at the same time the app store itself seems riddled with scammers.

While the scientific data has been clear (absolute risk reduction of vaccines about 1% for the early strains of the virus) the public discourse seems totally detached from the science.
People are still saying things like "I'd rather get the jab instead of Covid.", which shows that they are not aware of the possibility that they can still get Covid. I think this is the result of a massive bias in the media that did not allow even mentioning the slightest fact that makes the vaccines seem not so awesome.

And we haven't even started to talk about the myocarditis risk for young males.
I think it's great to have challenging courses where students have the opportunity to prove themselves. But when a student is having a physical/mental health crisis there shouldn't be a 6 month wait to get counseling services. I know plenty of dropouts who would be great engineers today if someone had cared when they were struggling.
Caps lock doesn't magically skip the matrix scan.
They have armies of economists, lawyers, and accountants. Do you really think that they are naive and you simply understand the situation better than them or do you think it's possible that they've run the numbers?
You say this as if there aren't deals between patent holders and platforms that are based on revenue percentages.
Polkit (I think it is polkit) is so annoying. When I forget to use sudo, it asks me in a nonstandard prompt for a password. But I don't have a password on some machines, I logged in via ssh key and have passwordless sudo.

At the same time, you can still not elevate inside an application. I would love to run a command to open a single file as root in vim, or VS code, or copy one file as root in Nautilus. I think you can click a little lock in Gnome settings somewhere and unlock certain pages, but it is far from widespread.
Twitter without downvotes is, after all, famously not a single train of thought under a Tweet!

But seriously: HN has downvotes, and almost every thread follows the basic structure of a somewhat healthy argumentative environment (alternating positive-negative comments down each child node). Things get downvoted (and you're entitled to any number of sour feelings about which things those are), but the overall structure of this site's comments demonstrates that up/downvotes aren't themselves toxic to discussion.
Pretty much. I don't know what end-goal of jailbreaking would be sufficiently enticing to lead me to consider doing so; that's the sort of thing I started this thread to find out lol

But yes, I mostly just want to know how other people have made good use of iPad aside from "oho, now I can watch videos and movies at my kitchen table" or whatever
If you're sitting down you can't get coronavirus though. It only travels above 4ft.

Unless you're on a plane. Something to do with the low ceilings I guess.
oops in my original post I meant to say meta axioms and meta theorems, how embarrassing.

As to your reply above, regardless of what you call axioms, semantically speaking there is an isomorphic subset in common for all useful axiomatic system is what I'm postulating. Can you think of an axiomatic system that doesn't have something iso to identity and equivalence for instance?
This is a different discussion since Rails doesn't come with such an option either.

But I think you're hitting on two different, yet very related, issues here.

1. Browsers have a very limited set of standard UI components

2. Browsers are held back by the decades long, uninterrupted chain of backwards-compatibility

Both of these things are true. Back in the day, browsers forced more convention and design on elements (alert, select, input, list, textarea, etc), though developers weren't happy with the pace of innovation and design choices offered by the browsers so they began looking at alternative ways to implement the same thing. Eventually the browsers loosened up the restrictions and allowed styling of most of these elements in almost any way you like (though there still are issues).

The great thing about the web is that you are allowed to do this. You have the freedom to build things anyway you like. Of course, that comes with drawbacks like you've pointed out above. iOS is great because it provides a standard framework and approach to implement all of the things you outlined above. Though at the same time, you are limited to UX decisions that Apple deems "correct." I own an iPhone and Macbook and I wouldn't want it any other way at the OS-level.

But the web is the one platform we have where you don't have to abide by anyone's rules. The whole industry can iterate on approaches and the best ideas win. I like this world. I know it's not for everyone, but we don't have any other platform with such reach and freedom from any one company making the rules.
Good question! You can't re-key your records but this done is by design. We want the materialized partitions to reside on the same brokers as their sources so there is no network overhead for performing the transform, and it occurs on all nodes. So by choosing this design we traded off more CPU for lower latency and less network bandwidth.
This is precisely what saved my father's life last year.

16 years ago he had some kind of brain cyst. Totally benign. But as a follow up, the doctor ordered yearly MRIs, much to his annoyance.

Last year those yearly routine MRIs spotted a brain tumor- before it had time to get dangerous or cause any damage to him. It was growing quickly though and was right near his eye. Quick surgery got it out.

I want to live in a world where everyone has access to that.
I was wondering why nobody was mentioning Svelte and Vue. I find either of these two options is more productive than React or Angular anyday.

If it went from 1 provider on 2-3 child care to 1 on 20 daycare, the effect is similar to if it had been counted anyway.

One significant source of uncounted labor was removed with the washing machine. Enormous amounts of time were spent manually washing clothes. But automating this likewise had a similar effect to making child care more efficient and increased downward wage pressure elsewhere by allowing more to enter other parts of the workforce.
Developers wouldn't leave, the apple app store generates so much revenue that it would be much more profitable than android even if they lost half of it. What would happen is that governments all over the world would quickly rush to regulate Apples power away, that is what Apple is worried about and why they lowered it for small developers to 15% already, they aren't worried about competition here.
I don't have any good resources off-hand (other than what shows up in a quick search), but my "best practices" are to always squash and keep PRs as small as possible.

When a working branch falls behind main, I prefer to rebase it instead of merging from main to keep it up to date. However, if you've already pushed your working branch to a repo, after rebasing you need to `git push --force` - which is a problem if there are others who have previously cloned the working branch.
It's funny. The group of people that do not use quality in their marketing are the Japanese. You never see them using quality in their marketing. It's only the American companies that do. And yet if you ask people on the street, which products have the best reputation for quality, they will tell you the Japanese products.

Now, why is that? How could that be? The answer is because customers don't form their opinions on quality from marketing. They don't form their opinions on quality from who won the Deming Award, or who won the Baldrige Award. They form their opinions on quality from their own experience with the products or the services.

One can spend enormous amounts of money on quality. One can win every quality award there is. And yet if your products don't live up to it, customers will not keep that opinion for long in their minds. So, where we have to start is with our products and our services, not with our marketing department. We need to get back to the basics and go improve our products and services.

In this path, people would be interacting with games/content in Facebook "apps" that are effectively mobile web pages. Facebook would have control inside their garden.

As soon as any Facebook app convinced a user to pay, all other facebook apps would have a seamless checkout.

Getting user financials isn't easy but we've seen the rise of Venmo, Robinhood, and Neobanks since then so it's doable.

"Sprinkling" JS means you end up with a messy mix and match of markup on the frontend and backend, inconsistent behavior, etc.
Eh, maybe 15-20 years ago, but fast fashion producers have made it much harder. You get 6-12 weeks before you get copied, at best. It's still possible to carve out a small business, but a lot of good business operators are being held back by those types of companies.
I guess I'd agree with that, but worry that teaching can also function as indoctrination, that is to say when teaching you're also trying to convince someone of something, someone who probably doesn't have the mental resources to take your analogy apart. Get that analogy ground in there and it can be difficult to remove later.
This is brilliant.

I’d never thought about it such explicit terms, but of course using analogies with an unsympathetic interlocutor is basically building them a all-too-convenient strawman
the app maker should have the complete freedom what payment options he offers. if i want you to pay me in stones that is my freedom, the same you are free to not use my app and find another app that offers methods that you like.
That's a good rule. People on this site often make arguments using analogies, and those threads always devolve into arguments about the specifics of the analogy. I have an amazing screenshot I saved where the discussion turns into something about companies hiring clowns to yell at patrons. It's unintentionally comical. The participants are intelligent adults, talking about a domain that they all share some understanding of, yet the crux of their debate is the behavior of some obnoxious clowns.
In my opinion analogies should almost always be avoided. It is much more work to understand the analogy and map it back to the argument and if you are proposing the analogy you're asking the other debate partner to do all that work for you for free. Also you're asking him to be very gracious with your argument because of course the analogy is never a perfect fit. All while he's trying to win the same debate you are trying to win. So this is a recipe for anger and resentment.
In 99.999% of cases, you should be able to explain something directly without the indirect approach via an analogy. Analogies may help in a teacher-subject system where both people know their role and the teacher is explaining very vast subjects very superficially.

Also, Qemu will provide an ATI Rage device for the G3/G4 machine, so you may be able to correctly play a good chunk of 3D games released for Mac OS 9.

That's why I say Qemu is not as slow as Bochs.
The Tribune Group (of MPs) is a centre-left ginger group. It's named after the magazine (indirectly; after an earlier and more left wing MPs group) but they don't control the magazine itself.

The magazine is now owned by Jacobin, IIRC, and has a more left-wing editorial line than the MPs group.
Junior dev here (but a career changer at aged 35), I initially learned Ruby/Rails at bootcamp

80% of the market is looking for some React + backend and there's a huge pressure to learn such an SPA framework but I've steadfastly refused and have stuck to 'full-stack' Rails. Luckily there's a resurgence going on for Rails and I think it's going to last. Boring always wins in the end
I have honestly wondered the same thing regarding Elixir.
> I'm not comparing to those other cases because the question being asked was

The question being asked was specifically about windows, and wasn't about Microsoft being "good", but rather about how Apple benefited from platforms being open.

> If they're not substantially different, do we expect that going forward nobody can charge a fee?

That seems reasonable.
Very interesting path and hit the nail on the head: It really comes down to networking and lead development to consistently find jobs (especially the ones that you want to take!).

I have recently relocated to the GTA and pretty new to working on my own as I still only have one customer which I work for remotely. Now, the space I'm in is adjacent and overlapping to the typical coder-for-hire as I am more in the hardware/embedded/product end of things for the medical device industry (At least so far). However, all of these systems need code and infra to support them so I've gotten pretty apt with that. I'm looking to maybe go after IOT, Edge computing, product development. All of this aside, I've found that networking with other freelancers who are in complimentary spheres can be great since I've passed on a few jobs to colleges and vice versa. I don't really have a basis on the TO tech scene to know where to start.

With everything opening up post lock-down maybe we should grab coffee (or hot beverage of choice)!

Exactly. 80+ % of all web dev jobs I see have some sort of SPA requirement

I'd guess that only about 20% need to be an SPA and the rest is cargo culting
Yes, proportional representation would be nice, and might solve some of the UK's many problems. But it isn't going to happen in my lifetime. They won, we lost, and as a result living standards are going continue to get worse for most people in this country for the foreseeable. That's really the whole story.

I like the idea but what the Palestinians are fighting for isn't really a Palestinian land "somewhere". It's about returning to their old homes pre 1948. You could just as well say that Jordan is already majority Palestinian - so there's your Palestinian state, but that's not gonna end the conflict.
The conflict is now religious as well. And it's about ego, and hatred, and pride, and envy. It's not something that's just waiting to be pragmatically solved unfortunately. We need to solve human psychology somehow.
I managed at Amazon and Google. One nuance to the Amazon stack ranking is that it is supposed to be only applied at org sizes > 50 or levels > 50. In theory Line managers themselves shouldn't feel too much pressure on their teams to do this. I do agree that it should be an even larger N (e.g. 200) or larger as Google has the same effective policy but their N is much much larger. The scale of the stack ranking really matters for how toxic it can be IMO.
Your examples (emacs and ed) are intentionally silly, but as I recall the actual targets of those extensions were significantly less lighthearted: many were explicitly racist or reactionary communities with histories of brigading/raiding other subreddits.

Put another way: we shouldn't confuse a civics problem with a platform problem. These extensions (again, as I remember them), were primarily created to eliminate a platform problem that Reddit themselves refused to address.

Edit: my personal anecdote with this is NYC's subreddit: accounts with histories that indicate no connection to NYC love to comment on every crime-blotter article with the same tired comments about the city. It's incredibly convenient and improves the quality of the discussion to be able to filter them.
Most people probably wouldn't want to refresh an SPA like Gmail every time the favicon isn't showing the correct unread count. But for infrequent rebranding, I agree with you.
