The closest that I can think of is "Columbo Cries Wolf", in that episode he keeps accusing someone (Sean) of murder when he hasn't really committed one (yet). Another huge columbo fan here :-).

Edit: Another one I can think of is "Murder in Malibu", it is really hard to tell who is the murderer in this one. And even Columbo seems unsure for a while.

If a large movement doesn't converge on a common purpose, it falls apart, simple as that. There is no need for a "central authority", just message discipline. People may have different gripes and ideas, that doesn't matter - they ought to be able to agree on some things to make that work. Effective labor movements have pretty clear purposes.
Microsoft's "verbatim strings" aren't. Think of them instead as "Oops, we use a lot of backslashes here at Microsoft and over time that just looks more and more stupid" strings and then these actual raw strings make lots more sense than those did.

There's plenty of stuff in a middle ground where a separate template file is a waste. Your example, now that you've corrected it shows that nicely. A separate template would be a waste here for these few bytes, and yet "verbatim strings" mean instead of this just being some actual XML you can copy-paste it has to be escaped / unescaped.

If your issue is that you don't think string literals should be a thing at all, C# is the wrong language for you. Try one of the early numeric langauges, or something modern like WUFFS that eschews strings entirely because they're too dangerous. Once you accept that literals should be a thing (notice these aren't interpolated, they're just literals) this is an obvious idea.

The bad "verbatim" syntax should go away in favour of a raw literal syntax such as the one proposed here.

At least Venus has a magnetosphere. How are you going to terraform a planet that can't retain more than 6.5 millibars worth of atmosphere? Build a big-ass bubble around the planet to deflect solar wind? Nuke the core of the planet to re-melt it and get a magnetic field back?

I'll check with Caleb but I am guessing/hoping he will be willing to make the paper more broadly accessible soon.
Bad? I don't think I'd use that term. Fragmented? Full of "bike-shedding"? Fanboi-ism? Definitely those things apply. There are some tools that seem to dominate the market currently. And as often is the case, you may form a love/hate relationship with them. Web dev in 2008 was simple. You had your markup, your CSS, and your scripts that progressively enhanced that markup/styling. There are subsets of people that never wanted it to move beyond that. There's another subset that's been pushing the boundaries of what the web can do. Both are right, and both could stand to learn a few things.

If you find yourself working alone/contracting, you have absolute freedom to try out anything you want. Find what works for you. Do NOT use something simply because "the cool kids on Twitter are hyping it". Find out if those tools actually make your dev experience, and your user's experience better.

If you find yourself on a team at a larger org, learn to be comfortable with the tools they've chosen - until you reach a point where you get to have a say.

Web development can be an awfully fun career but I'd urge you as you get a bit deeper into the programming side of it, to really learn some fundamental concepts. Maybe start with Jack Herrington videos on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JackHerrington

I've found him to be very level-headed in his approach.
According to [1]:

> Temperatures on Mars average about -81 degrees F. However, temperatures range from around -220 degrees F. in the wintertime at the poles, to +70 degrees F. over the lower latitudes in the summer.

Bear in mind the atmosphere is <1% the pressure of Earth's, basically a vacuum. This actually means you'd barely feel 60mph winds (which, interestingly, was one of several flaws in The Martian book and movie) so hypothermia probably wouldn't be a huge issue from the air but still matters if you contact something solid.

It's unclear where the water on Mars is. It's definitely on the poles, which means you're at the lower end of that range, but there may also be water ice in more equatorial latitudes.

"Completed their tasks in a timely manner when asked" sounds good enough to me.
> Is there a single Columbo episode where he asks "just one more thing" of someone who isn't the murderer

Yep, for example "Fade in to Murder," an episode with William Shatner. Also "Murder by the Book," "A Friend in Deed," etc. The writers played lots of little tricks on the audience with the show. But also sometimes the Lt. simply asked procedural questions to somebody who wasn't involved.

Yeah, I know you can't perfectly use an IP space, but with 128 offices, IBM could give each office an allocation of around a hundred thousand IP addresses (rounding down by over 20%. But even if it were 10,000 - that's still absurd.)

I know this is a tired trope on HN, but I love my bitwarden. I switched from lastpass and the transition was mostly seamless. There's some hiccups with the transfer but it's all worked out now.

The biggest difficulty I had is that bitwarden doesn't have a lot of "equivalent domains" to map web urls to android app namespaces, but that's a one time fix.

Sometimes bitwarden takes two tries to input a password on my phone, but lastpass broke it's support for firefox on android over a year ago and hasn't bothered to fix it.

Read up on attachment theory. Having a healthy relationship with a caregiver is necessary for social and emotional development. Lots of people don’t have that, for various reasons, but having a healthy relationship with a partner can also serve this purpose. Alternatively, therapists can help a little bit with this too, but there is no substitute for healthy intimacy.

The number itself is pretty meaningless and doesn't drive me to HN.
I've been reading for a couple of hours on all of the stuff you guys have dug up on the pocket telex (and other interesting bits and pieces), very impressive. So much detail, this must have been a lot of work, and other than a couple of typos I can't find anything that doesn't match what I already knew about the device. It would be interesting to know who formed the software team from those days, I wished I recalled more names.

Above the offices in Amsterdam Zuidoost (Hogehilweg) they had this insanely extravagant bar. Looking back I think that the armed bodyguard must have been either coke-induced paranoia shining through or a sign that there was already more afoot that could not stand the light of day.
copycat going to copycat, and then complain that's unfair that others copycatted before he was rejected.

I’ve only gotten the answer that I’m free to “report” these apps if I believe they don’t follow the Guidelines. I don’t think these apps breach the Guidelines, but I guess Apple intentionally chooses to misinterpret me.

Apple's not misrepresenting him. He just chooses to disagree. You can argue that it should not be allowed, but his argument is totally based on the fact that he disagrees on the guidelines, and therefore it should not apply for him.

The point that apple needs to be consistent is fair, but also, scammers are scammers. They do a lot to get crappy copycat and plain old illegal apps into the store.
I spent many years solving difficult code problems as part of a research group. One of my standard techniques for solving the toughest problems was to gather as many facts as I could and then sleep on it. I'd find myself not reviewing the code, but reviewing the facts in my sleep, and when I'd wake up I'd have figured out the problem or at least have figured out how to get more information to solve the problem. I'd often wake in the middle of the night to write down these insights or write them down first thing on waking.
No alternate app stores or way to sideload.

You haven't heard it because it's not spin, it's from an engineer's point of view. That's not the view you hear in the news when it comes to these things.
All you've done is created a straw man. No one is arguing that the app store shouldn't exist or that if you choose to you shouldn't be allowed to use it exclusively. The argument is that alternatives should be allowed to exist and that people should be allowed to install whatever software they like on the devices they own.

If other app stores or modes of installation exist, that ruins nothing for you. You can just ignore them and go on as you do now.
Apple is definitely still using it.
Yes. Apple still sucks at curation (as does google, as does Steam), and needs to be more consistent here.
Security roles are really hard.

Assessor's that aren't just tool operators. Security architects that can threat model and deliver requirements, in the design phase. Anyone that has intersectional experience between security and external compliance is also a problem.
I can see how you can think of me that way based on this discussion.

I studied physics in undergrad and in classical dynamics we covered “rocket science” in these terms. The term is more or less a misnomer as science implies trying to understand how the universe works. Building rockets is engineering but studying their motion does rely on both the equation I gave above and also on fluid dynamics. From the point of view of “science” it is pretty simple. From the point of view I’d actually building a rocket the engineering is very hard. Since that time I’ve always had a bit of a chip on my shoulder about the “it’s not rocket science”. It also doesn’t help that both my parents studied aerospace engineering in undergrad and grad school and tried to impart a decent chunk of it on my as a kid (which I resisted very hard).
> If people want delivery instead of a “grazing” shopping experience, you can’t legislate your way out of that.

It isn't as simple as that. People think they want delivery instead of a shopping experience. More specifically, people think they want this because it is being (a) heavily advertised to them, and (b) heavily subsidized to them. The public aren't being given all of the information.

Right now, most delivery apps have free or very very low delivery fees because of VC money, with the end-goal being to monopolize the market and jack up the prices when people are either too dependent on these services, or local alternatives stop existing. The average consumer doesn't know this - they just think that this tech company has somehow made it financially feasible to charge someone $5 to get me my groceries/food from halfway across town.

It's what Uber did, and most people are annoyed with Uber's current prices (or ambivalent to it, simiilar to how it was with Taxis). Except this is much worse, because Uber just changed how the business was run - delivery apps are changing how we buy and consume things, which would be much harder to recover from.

I think the answer is to use surplus energy to make and store hydrogen. The combine that with implementation of hydrogen powered vehicles in the large transport sector (trains and long haul trucks) would be a good way to store and make use of energy without building massive energy storage devices. Battery electric is already a bad fit for those sectors, since the heavy batteries significantly reduce useful transportation weight and long charging times mean expensive delays in moving goods. It would also help build out hydrogen distribution networks, which could be strategically installed at transportation hubs and along strategic routes to start, which then could be utilized by local transportation, making them more viable using hydrogen where battery electric isn’t as feasible (local buses and delivery trucks that can refill hydrogen in a few mins to run with minimal downtime).

Or did you just want to do an "angry soap box lecture" without much relevance to the article?

edit:

Just to clarify, this was not an article about Apple having rules, strict rules, or even content curation. This was an article about Apple rolling the die when deciding to accept you or not, and not caring about quality in the slightest.
