> This seems like not only a boneheaded move but also a very user hostile one. Not the one I would have expected Apple to do.

Apple defines user hostility. They just get away with for reasons I have never understood. Apple doesn't want pictures or videos or any use of a mouse plugged in while being used? Put the charging port on the bottom of the mouse. Doesn't want to adopt the industry standard USB-C? Puts several different permutations of ports on devices, often incompatible without highly marked up dongles. Wants users to buy into wireless headphone ecosystem? Removes audio jack from all devices except laptops and desktops and the lowest end iPad. They refuse to fix longstanding issues with their Bluetooth and wireless cards. They refuse to cooperate and support third-party external monitors. They significantly break backwards compatibility and apps with every OS update, often intentionally.

Apple has done whatever the hell they've wanted to for a very long time. They just hide it behind what I see as inane marketing but nonetheless marketing that has been very successful.
I don't think we should save Firefox. IE is not opensource, so Firefox is very important. Chromium is opensource, so we needn't to stick with multiple browser kernels. Once Google Chrome change bad, we can use Vivaldi, Brave, or Edge.
But we should save Mozila. We need to gather such a group of idealists. They will act as the vanguard to explore the future: create rust, rewrite chromium...
How can 'AI' possibly crack the code without training data?
You can do IoT correct and you can do it wrong. Most decide that you need to pull out your phone or register a device before you can use it. No one wants to download and app to be able to operate a juicer. However a coffee machine for example could be extended with optional features not hindering the core functionality.
'For tax purposes' still involves giving a huge chunk of money away.
Agree 100%. As a manager, I understand that my job is to make sure everyone else has what they need to do their job.

It’s not about asking “is it done yet?”. It’s about asking “how can I help you do this?”
The pew survey you linked is from February of last year, before vaccines were available and before their extreme effectiveness in preventing serious illness was known. Have they done more recent surveys in those countries you mentioned? More to the point, have they surveyed Canada recently?

France is well known as a vaccine hesitant country for what it's worth.
When gmail was included as the email client for their paid office subscription there definitely was salespeople involved, because I heard from them weekly trying to shill it to me. I’d argue that if you take a free product and want folks to pay for it, you obviously need salespeople as Google did.
I have different sets of bookmark in my school and regular profile (because in most cases they were opened for very different purposes).
How do they scale demand for peak times with a fixed workforce? It seems trivially easy for say Uber to start hubs if they wanted to and they have a huge existing base.

But it comes down to execution and it will be interesting to see the space in another 5 years.
The Chinese app called "genie" used with devices like cheap Merkury cameras, sold at places like Walmart for impossibly low prices and that livestream thru "Tuya" (which likely provides the inputs to China-based deep learning models) also does this on all Apple Silicon platforms. Yes, the "Terms" for that app would seem to allow for it, just like other Chinese apps: https://www.npr.org/2021/01/05/953515627/facial-recognition-... Such streams help China develop models that interpret emotions and behaviorally profile all types of people, not just Uyghurs: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-57101248 They can also be used like https://www.aei.org/articles/chinas-olympics-app-is-pure-spy...

Pretty sure China has hacked all of the telecom companies to know which IPs (Tuya streams) would go with which Experian® profiles (https://www.fbi.gov/news/stories/chinese-hackers-charged-in-...) too, though such a hack probably involves somethingStupid™ like keyboard firmware injected into customer service terminals at multi-provider offshore customer/provisioning centers. (Those account number to DHCP lease servers/loggers are probably the least protected part of the consumer networks...BigTech has erybody thinking it's about surveillance capitalism, when it's really about surveillance period.) Apple's iCloud Private Relay service doesn't help much here either, as "Tuya" can associate the Apple-device running the app with the IOT devices that are streaming through the "Tuya" platform, providing a pretty good estimation of the identity of the user of the app on the Apple-device (which, of course, can be passed along in realtime to other apps in the "Tuya" family, even as Private Relay is rotating the IP addresses, so long as the "genie" like app is running in the background enough to phone home with an IP update packet).
Back, when I did heavyweight GUI development, I went onsite for the first few customer installs and watched the customers operate the system (usually after fixing some bug LoL). Those always gave me basic UI tweaking ideas, but the real lightbulbs would come on when I asked questions like "why didn't you just do X instead of Y" or "how would you change this to make it easier". Or various other generic questions, the answers were frequently enlightening about how to tweak training materials or the UI, but I usually got one or two killer ideas that were more significant and ended up being the kinds of things later users would rave over.

So, I can't help but think you missing the most important changes if your not actually talking to the end users about what they are thinking or why they are doing particular actions that aren't always what you expect.
If it only has benefits for the maker, it sounds pretty stupid...
I already would find it taxing to write a well structured and complex answer like the original comment. I would need to go back and forth, edit, change the order of sentences and the like.

And I am perfectly capable of doing this with my eyes.

But: I would never assume anything about the experience, challenges and abilities of the OP. I was fascinated by the depth of the recommendations and was reminded that I very much need to work on making my sites more accessible.

But I would personally probably refrain from asking if they couldn't just keep a paragraph of text in memory. But that is just me.
Congrats on cracking the Mac notarization feature and other nightmare in the Mac release chain!
Does it actually matter at this point? I write off by one errors all the time in JavaScript and I usually spot them immediately. I’ve written Julia and R in the past and I found it really easy to switch between contexts, and if I forget, the errors are such that it takes only a few seconds to spot and fix them.
Elon Musk is the marketing
Why?

I love them ligatures. I'm looking at this code for lots of hours every day. Let me enjoy it via a nice font — with ligatures — if I deem so.
Yes, and it's not the most expensive one. Don't discuss luxury watches prices, it's like NFT market or audiophile things. =)
What's the least testable code you've had the pleasure of dealing with?

From my first commercial software job: a few thousand lines of complex C++ (mix of decoding the output of a mathematical model mixed with business rules) structured as a single "god class" with heaps of internal state and a dozen methods -- comically all of the methods would return void and took no arguments, and would call each other. It took days of careful refactoring and consultations with a colleague until it was possible to instantiate one of the things in a test harness and do nothing with it. In some sense this was dead simple code as there were no dependencies on external resources or concurrency.
So why stop at airplanes? Why not subway trains, elevators, Starbucks?

Is it because someone tried in an airplane once? Tried and failed? Would you change your mind about Starbucks if someone tried and succeeded?

The whole point of that article is that you can’t design around extreme edge cases. If we used shoe bomb security theater logic around all aspects of flying, there would be no airline industry.
Yes. There are good attempts towards static compilation, and we will have it one day, but it's something that requires high levels of expertise and effort given the dynamic nature and design of Julia - not just a matter of "doing it like any other language".
Using other languages as a basis.
It makes perfect sense to do what they do! And in all honesty sometimes they grind for a very long time before achieving true success (see: Xbox).

That said, people don't always realize how many things Microsoft tries (and subsequently abandons, because of course not all of them are going to be a success). That .net core was a success is clear now; but you could've easily believed that UWP will be a success and invested in it (in fact, I know teams who did, with really bad consequences for them). What I say is... just wait a bit. In the early days, not even Microsoft knows what will succeed, and they will "sell" their new initiatives very hard (of course!).
I kinda agree, I think. We’d have to get down to use cases for me to see if we’re on the same page.

For me, a certain aspect of the pathological process here is one that ties to correct the pathalogical symptom. I don’t think any process that plays whack-a-mole at symptoms will ever have much success.

The quote that springs to mind is Henry David Thoreau

“There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.”

So I’m ok with the assertion that well founded process can/should guide behavior, but if we just throw exceptional process corrections at exceptional behavior as mentioned in the article, we get gridlock and the classic story of “why we can’t have nice things.”

I'd be curious about this one, too.
This lib is great, maybe that it plays a role? -> update4J by mordechaim
embed the HTML:

<pre><code>
your mermaid code <span class="foo">with highlighted</span> sections
</code></pre>

Use a tool like pygments to generate the highlighted HTML (assuming there even is highlighting for mermaid syntax).

What you're asking for is an uncommon edgecase that's not what people want in 99% of circumstances (instead they want the rendered chart). Markdown still gives you the HTML escape hatch so use it. Sure it's not pretty but it's no worse than if github didn't support highlighting mermaid source anyways.

If you don't want highlighting just put a fenced code block without the mermaid info string. It will render as unhighlighted code. IMHO that's what you'd want as a workaround to demo source like in a mermaid readme.
Tailwind? They've built strong brand awareness through the quality of their OSS tailwindcss product who's been successful without any paid advertisements or sales people that I can see.

Similarly Ruby on Rails was great brand awareness for 37 Signal's Basecamp who AFAIK doesn't believe in advertising, and has made a point to pay for a "non Ad" against companies selling ads against their Basecamp trademark

How about you explicitly state your point? Sea lion-ing is typically frowned upon on HN.

Yikes, I see quite a lot of grandstanding in that thread, and the linked Github issue.
If your company is looking for funding for that low cost, high volume SaaS your CEO, CFO, founders…make no mistake…they are damn sure selling your high volume, low price SaaS.
Hiring good people is the main key, and a good VP of sales is crucial.

Depending on your product you can control it with comp as well. For example, for an enterprise product, especially one that renews annually and/or has milestone payments, comp the sales person as the cash comes in (and pay out for the renewals same as you would for the initial deal). Unhappy customers don’t pay. I have also paid out commission on time (when customer should have paid, when the delay was due to engineering, and not manageable by salesperson. Sometimes engineering delays are due to sales people though :-(.

Have engineering work out the milestones and deliverables with the customer. Have the CEO sign contracts, nobody else. Count as sales only deals that have both customer P.O. and signed contract (so common to have only one and have the sales person argue that the deal should be booked anyway. Amazing how they could get both in on the last day of the quarter though).

Etc. When I was about 20 my dad told me he’d fired half the sales people he’d ever hired. I shook my head and thought, “what an idiot”. A couple of decades later I looked back and it was about the same for me. I mean table stakes for a sales person is selling themselves. And getting canned isn’t always a bad mark against a sales person. So it’s hard to judge up front, but if they don’t sell “right away”* shove them out the door. It’s not like an engineer for whom you want to invest extra time to help them get into the groove; that’s part of the sales person’s way of life and the good ones are proud of it.

Pay the good sales people well. At your annual sales shindig have the CEO show up for a day, or half a day, to give a pep talk, enthuse about the VP of sales and the top sellers (who made it by following the rules) and then bow out. Maybe have the CFO talk about how many commission checks they had to cut. And have them mention that the top sellers make more than the CEO.

Another tip: have every member of the exec team, yes even CFO, VP of Manufacturing or whomever, go on a customer sales call every quarter. Sometimes a first visit, sometimes a sales person “check in” call or or whatever. It will make the execs understand how the customer views your product, not what marketing and the sales folk think the product is.

* right away depends on your sales cycle. Could be the end of the second month (but you’re already breathing down their next after two weeks), or first quarter, or six months (ugh). And if you sell semiconductor manufacturing gear with a sales cycle of 48 months, good luck.
Yes, BBC also covered it (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/extra/Bi5xGc7SIj/the_fall_of_the_...)

It's called "hostage justice" by critics
By finding a similar language.
Fine, fine - it’s a hyperbole. But you have to agree that’s a step above simply protesting - on par with vandalism maybe?
I find it interesting you'd ask the above questions. What do you mean how? Through various websites, on my computer.

It would actually never even occur to me to do any of those things on a phone! On a tiny inconvenient screen? Why?
It seems that putting a timer on the power source (set to say 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off if the load justified it) would be a fairly simple way to significantly extend the battery life. I've been thinking of putting together something like that for myself to charge a bank of test phones for 30 minutes twice a day.
I question the value of management everyday.
I had tried uploaded dmg to github (free hosting) and using github actions for the signing and notarization. Plus update4j for the automatic updates. All worked fine except for the notarization, never cracked this one.
Because round corners look more natural to humans, the natural word produces almost nothing that is a perfect right angle (which we can easily see with the naked eye), so soft corners a more familiar to us and less artificial.

> Is that still true as of Vulkan 1.3?

In practice every GPU vendor that mattered already implemented it to 1.2, not much of a change on that front.

The core problem, that pointers are an abstract type with no known compile-time size remains.

> but the lack of device-scope barriers means an entire class of advanced coordination patterns is unavailable.

(And OpenCL on Apple Silicon seems to have the opposite problem, stuff being promoted to device wide barriers when it should not be…)

I was wondering, how do you sell a company? It's not like there is an eBay or craigslist for companies, right?
The average American consumer would not notice this dark pattern and mindlessly sign up for 4K, which is exactly what google/YT want. They aren't going to change a thing. Meanwhile, you can vote with your wallet and cancel your youtube TV subscription and watch the game by another means. Pirate it if you have to. What, would you rather give more money to these sleazy sadistic corporations?
To be fair: a) she's always liked causing trouble b) she lived in an alpine village of 40 people, so there wasn't much else to do.

But I suspect a) was the main driver :D
Shareholders can profit from value-destroying acquisitions by stakes in rivals
Yes, and yes. To the point that it's mere noise compared to the waste and destruction of wealth caused by wars and conflicts caused by politicians.

Economically speaking, the waste caused by the industrial-military complex worldwide is probably 10000 times worse, at least.

Going off-topic: However, even though I'm a capitalist pig, the problem with this goes even far worse than economics: most murders recent history are related to state-sponsored conflicts, not the John Doe carrying a gun around to commit petty theft and accidentally murdering someone. It's hard to become aware of it as institutions like UNODC never includes armed conflict between states in the count, for starters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention...
> "does Apple’s walled garden prevent the creation of businesses that consumers would like to do business with if only they had the opportunity"

They already do prevent certain businesses from operating in the App Store anyway, irrespective of the regulatory scrutiny here. An example is present in Apple's review guidelines, where they specifically ban any apps that encourage consumption of tobacco products or vaping. See https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/

> 1.4.3 Apps that encourage consumption of tobacco and vape products, illegal drugs, or excessive amounts of alcohol are not permitted on the App Store.

The same goes with all apps that feature pornography or facilitate prostitution and I'm sure many adult-entertainment businesses would love the opportunity to do business in the App Store. I'm not saying Apple should or shouldn't allow those types of businesses on the app store, mind you, but there's no law saying Apple must allow even dating apps on the App Store; if Apple decided they could probably ban dating apps altogether.

Neil Young didn't just say he disagrees with Joe Rogan, he didn't launch his own podcast. He tried to use his position to silence Rogan.
You’re absolutely right, I do need to spend more time with users and really listen to them. It’s just my ego doesn’t want to be hurt so it feels safer just looking at the event log lol
Get out of their way. Software developers know how to develop. Your job as manager is to remove any obstacles that keep developers from developing. And so you manage interfering people away from your project. You head off anything that might distract your developers. You remove ceremony, and you take the heat when "management" has issues with your team or anyone in it. You put your team front and centre, and step into the shadows when it's time to harvest the fame. You're like a bouncer at a nightclub door, protecting all who are within.
Thank you, this one actually helps me read quite a bit.
The article lists other sources and a quick search will get you a lot further than wanting me to be AI to fulfill your every request. Point being they were wrong and surveys are not as reliable as fact and can be manipulated.
What makes you think they’re honking all through the night? From what I’ve heard they stop at 8:00pm. Claims to the contrary do not come with corresponding evidence.

Anyone here with on the ground experience about the nighttime situation?
'to his own charity' still involves not giving it away or not putting it outside of his control.
On a Mac, factory reset it unless I got it direct from Apple (ideally picked up by hand from an Apple Store). On any other laptop, full erase and install Linux or Windows from scratch.

Well, that's a good goal, but even the government expects you to install their apps nowadays. It's impossible to live without a recent smartphone with enough free space.

Thanks for your comment. I just tool their word for it :). That's interesting though. If you can share a link validating that, I can update the article to better represent reality.
As someone who's had to recently setup jpackage for one of my side projects, which took forever and a day and I'm still not happy with the result. I'm very interested.

Just glancing at the site, it really looks like this is something you put a bunch of effort into. I'll definitely check this out! So thanks.
Mostly same here. I have a newer phone, but only use it mainly for text messages and the occasional phone call. The only additional apps I have on it are K-9 Mail and ConnectBot (for ssh), both via F-Droid. I don't have a google account on this phone, so the google app store doesn't work, so I only use F-Droid.
Your quote would make sense if this admission discrimination was based on economic status but not race.

I don't understand - have you never used Google scholar? Type in the relevant terms and there are a million relevant results. I just pasted the top one, which is all about how physical pain and mental pain is basically physiologically identical and specifically mentions Tylenol in relation tto its effect on social pain. Full text shod be on sci-hub.
Thanks for your comment. All your points are valid. I do understand that and I have no problem paying premium for certain services, such as high risk ones. The problem here is its marketing as "technology fee because of high demand" at £15 for a £4 (fake) route.
