Remember that App Store revenue is also generated in the EU.

Let's assume that 15% of App Store revenue is from the EU. That would leave an additional $12.7 billion hole in Apple's pocket.

Worse, it would mean Apple's third-party developers lose about $30 billion in revenue. (Apple takes a 30% cut, so the total App Store sales volume is about $283B). Those developers would also lose all access to their existing users in those countries. It would be a massive black stain on Apple's reputation.

It's the kind of drastic move that you simply can't do as a platform provider unless your hand is absolutely forced by something like international sanctions.
No, I was not aware, thanks for reporting! Have we missed a link somewhere? Docs link is https://docs.materialsproject.org and is online.
We can discuss that, but first let me recommend the movie Chronicle (2012) which really is as realistic as I imagine it would get.

Conerecing The Boys, it's not about humanity as much as it's about American stuff. It's being very very specific with its criticism. Homelander is not just a psychopath, he's a product, literally, of American culture (represented by conglomerate Vaught).

Also, while The Boys has criticism and some characters might not survive, it's also very tongue in cheek and tries to entertain rather than lecture. Personally I have fun watching it. If nothing else, it manages to surprise me, which is not something I could say about superhero movies in the last ten years.
There's plenty of others who'll do it for me!

> Tao or Dao is the natural order of the universe whose character one's intuition must discern to realize the potential for individual wisdom

It echoes how I feel when I write programs in languages with strong static type systems: that of the compiler almost fatalistically leading me towards a solution that naturally fits the problem space. A metaphor I like to use is that of an artist knocking away pieces of marble to reveal the statue that was always there beneath.

And, yes, it's great fun to work on! Everybody should give writing a compiler and designing a language a try!

> they are all hacks — by necessity

To be clear, though, the "hack" I use (Spectacle) isn't even actively developed anymore, but has worked flawlessly through a decade of macOS upgrades. Zero problems, zero glitches, even with multiple monitors it just works exactly how I expect.

If only non-"hack" Linux GUI software were this stable and perfectly-functioning over such a long time span.
What, in this case, is “a profitable open-source software company”? I.e. what is your exact business model? To be precise, when your customers pay you, what do they expect, and recieve, in return? This could be consulting, bespoke development, etc. That, whatever that is, is your company, not “open source”. The fact that you publish some code as open source is mostly irrelevant. No company is “an open source company”, they are instead companies with business models which allow them to publish source code under open and free licenses. A woodworking shop could be such a company if they also publish whatever software they write (during the course of their normal work) under open and free licenses.

In other words, open source is not a business model¹.

big tech does not want simple, but good enough to do the job, and stable in time protocols to interoperate with. Force the big to interoperate with the small, and not let the big crush the small, this is one of the whys of regulation.

For instance, in the case of the web: noscript/basic (x)html. With basic (x)html forms, you can browse tiled maps, do shopping, interact with the online administration service, etc. With the <video> and <audio> element, the noscript/basic (x)html browsers can pass an URL to an external media player, what seems missing is the type of streaming. I don't know if you can specify the type of the href, HLS/mpeg DASH/etc, kind of a mime type for those. Then the ability to seek into a big video should be standardized, very probably an URL parameter to do this, at least per mime types if those exists, like t=xxhxxmxxsxxxms.

Those are extremely simple, do not require those horrible web engines and are enough to do the job.

The current javascript-ed web engines are insane and beyond sanity bloats (SDK included), locked-in by gogol/apple/mozilla via complexity and size.

The real hard work is into "securing" those "simple" sites against corpo(=state?) sponsored hackers to make those not work and promote corpo-locked software and protocols. That could be idiotic hackers pushing the web to use those corpo-locked software and protocols.
To me some of the main characters from transformers really looks like gundam. That’s what I meant with “there must be a connection”, as I thought transformers was an American invention and assumed heavy inspiration from gundam.
Indeed. I did not include City hookups in my concept of a rustic cabin. In fact, I was thinking of something specifically outside a city.

No, not just privilege escalation. This is shellcode that needs to be inserted into a vulnerable driver, as it has to run from kernel space. Being privileged isn’t enough to run this function.
Somewhat familiar with FP and enjoy some of its benefits in my projects but I haven’t really used a full blown FP language like Haskell. What exactly is a type class? I haven’t found an explanation that makes a lot of sense to me. I think at one time I believed them to be some kind of contract like an interface in a OO language.

Can someone explain?

Yeah, for me, I find the only parts I care about with a tiling window manager is a minimal looking environment and windows that organize themselves automatically. On GNOME I am able to get all the same workflows and benefits that I care about from a tiling window manager while not worrying about having to tweak something on my work machine when I'm on a Zoom call working on an issue.
Amazon Prices Fall on Weak Demand Ahead of Prime Day
Funnily enough, I'm working on the next Git. (I'm not the author of Pijul; it is another one.)

So here's what I think of these points, as well as how my VCS will address them.

1. Atomicity across projects: this is a good point, a necessary one. When I asked people why Git submodules are so bad [1], that was the biggest point. My VCS will have this, even though I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet. I'm almost there.

2. Native package management: my VCS will have this, sort of. The thing is that I hate CMake, so I'm building a build system, and while doing the design of it, I realized people are doing build systems and package managers wrong. So I'm working on that too. Needless to say, my package manager/build system will be well-integrated into my VCS. (My package manager will also have another shtick: you can set security policies for individual packages, which means that situations like where npm packages become malware should not cause damage.)

3. Semantic diff: I have figured this one out. It will exist. It will be language-specific, but all that it needs is a lexer for the language and a dumb understanding of the structure. This same system will also be used for diffing and merging binary files, such as Blender files, PNG's, executables, PDF's, files for Microsoft Office, files for LibreOffice, etc.

4. Merge queue data structure: my VCS will have something that will serve this purpose and could probably implement a high-level interface to it, like Git has porcelain over low-level operations. However, what I have actually designed is so powerful, it will also be capable of real-time collaboration and of implementing full undo/redo.

5. Fan-out pull requests: this is currently not in my plans (I think better package management would handle most or all of this), but it would be trivial to implement if people want it.

6. Terrible UX of Git: I'm going to spend the time on this upfront. In fact, I want to do user testing with non-programmers until they find it easy. I will take inspiration from Mercurial for sure, but the user testing results will be the most important.

7. Large file storage: my VCS would be completely inductive at binary files if I didn't have a plan for this. I do have a plan, and I will be testing on large files, including up to multiple terabytes, from the start.

8. Project management hooks, but not features: there will be built-in features for things that should always be there (issues is one, I believe), but there will also be a way to set up your own. They won't be hooks, per se, but it will be possible to create the project management "flavor of the month."

Comments on these are welcome.

Except that we didn't get our apps.

I'm still waiting to be able to use my iPad to write code.

To be able to use the iPad as a platform for tools that contain their own WASM ecosystem of user purchase-able plugins.

To use a browser on iPhone and iPad that is actually secure.

iPhone and iPad are little addiction machines, with little value for productive work that goes beyond email and powerpoint. These legislations give us a fighting chance of regaining the quality of 00s personal computers, with advanced 20s technology.

Absolutely, yes. Materials Project runs a service called "MPComplete" where people can submit structures to "help complete the database." There's an API, or we're working on a new drag-and-drop interface on the website to quickly upload a CIF or similar.

"It was good enough for me, so it should be good enough for everybody."

Lol.
But that's besides the point. That they're greenhouse gases doesn't really figure into the reason why it's EU policy to reduce the density of their emissions near natura 2000 areas.
It will be interesting to see what that refers to in particular. Remember we also have GDPR that restricts what data is allowed to be collected.

Increasing democracy definitely isn't my goal; it's increasing freedom. Remember, Hitler was democratically elected. To preserve freedom, democracy requires many different safeguards (e.g. constitutionally guaranteed rights, "majority cannot oppress minority", etc.).

That said, I'm not opposed to eliminating EC. I think both EC and popular vote have their pluses and minuses. But then, I'm not an American, so...
>Renting your information infrastructure is a great way to reduce startup costs, but down the road, that information infrastructure runs your company. Trying to outsource it is like trying to outsource upper management.

This isn't a one size fits all thing. For a company like FedEx I don't see the advantage of owning their own data centers. They just don't have the scaling challenges that would require that. Data centers or information infrastructure as you put it does't fall within the core competency of FedEx, so I don't think it's a fair comparison to say its like outsourcing upper management. I think its more fair to so that FedEx building their own datacenters is like building their own roads to deliver packages on.

For a company like Facebook or Google, the difference is clear. They need to handle such a high scale of traffic and volume of data that they need custom infrastructure to be able to scale efficiently at significantly reduced costs. The same reason it made sense for them to invest in building their own databases, because the existing options didn't meet the scaling requirements. FedEx won't realistically be needing their own database or infrastructure any time soon.
What’s the plan of the closures? To import the food instead? But that’ll be more emissions not less won’t it? Just keep the emissions in a poorer country?
> love seeing the resistance to this period of peak centralized control of lives

I'm not sure what you mean, exactly. Climate change is and will happen. One of the central questions is how much we choose to act to mitigate its consequences. If we, as you seem to imply, apply a hands off approach as we have done for decades, then you can have negative externalities that compound uncontrolled and unchecked to blow up in everyone's faces to the detriment, decay, and possible destruction of society. The world is unfortunately not so simple as the "resistance" and "centralized control of lives" as you make it out to be. Actions and lack thereof have consequences. We're feeling them now.

I tire of discussing the consequences of climate change with those in denial. I hope your disillusionment with reality doesn't harm your future.
hi Alex! :)
Not all criticism is actionable. Most of it is not. Like "this is boring", "this is ugly", "that color is too sad".

> The science shows these chemicals to be tragically toxic

I doubt that the science can show a compound to be tragically toxic any more than it could show a compound to be hilariously toxic, frightenly toxic or delightfully toxic.

Apart from an observer, who is typically human (though sometimes in our mind an athropomorphized animal or superhuman deity) I'm not sure anything in nature can be tragic. It just is. No one mourns the trilobites.
I read this as, due to pamspy setting an eBPF probe, pamspy needs to know where libpam.so lives. Not that the pamspy needs libpam to be built

This is exactly what I meant thank you for elaborating. It’s a shame that typical “2002 Internet forum that types M$” is alive and well on HN but I guess it’s the same target audience.
> Why do you mean "modify"? As in rewriting history (commits before HEAD)?

Fossil flat-out does not support, with the exception of "shunning" (forcibly removing content), the modification of any history. It supports the "amending" of any history, however.

For example, you can "change" the timestamp of a commit retroactively. It doesn't change the timestamp on the actual checkin (as that's cryptographically baked into the commit), but it changes how the checkin is displayed to the user in fossil's "timeline" view. Fossil also, however, makes it easy to see, in the details for that checkin, that the timestamp was modified later (and who did it, as well as when they did it).
Apparently I'm also ugly, but I'll take consolation in having 81 years more to live. Sadly, that's probably because my age came out as NaN. I'll just take that I'm ageless :)

There's another approach that might work better.

Instead of sampling the mouse position every 100ms, you'd save off all the mouse positions, and then send the latest batch every 100ms. The other side would then replay the exact positions, just delayed by 100ms. It'll end up with the same latency as these motion smoothing approaches, while only using slightly more bandwidth.

If they said "0.3x less" that would make sense. But I agree with you in doubting that the full-office salaries are negative. "1.9x less"… what are they multiplying by 1.9 to figure out how big of a discount from the full-remote salary employers are paying?

Where I grew up no one would actually say the sticks and stones line unless they were intentionally being sarcastic and provoking people to bully them (i.e. trolling). It was still a useful phrase to pass around though

I understood the lesson to mean "Dont let bullies control you with words". As in, be wary of people trying to manipulate you with hurtful words. The point is to not give your bully information on how they are hurting you because they can leverage it against you

Of course words can hurt. the saying wouldnt exist if that wasnt true. We dont go around saying "sticks and stones can break my bones but giving me thoughtful gifts will never hurt me". There is an understanding the bully is trying to hurt with words, because words can hurt, and the response is meant to deny them the emotional reaction they are looking for from you
This is a response from someone who has been in too many online discussions, and knows when the question/supposition is pinned in such a way to essentially make good faith discussion surrounding it impossible.

In this case the OP made a bunch of claims which they cannot support, and then wants people to defend those claims/find counter-benefits to offset them. They've essentially pinned the discussion so that it wastes a bunch of time, and so their preconceived notions cannot be undercut.

If people want to have a good faith discussion about the positive/negatives, then that is certainly possible, but OP poisoned the well, so it is unlikely to be possible here.
That's what the leaders of the Soviet Union thought. They learned the hard way that it isn't true.
It’s important to note that much of the food produced by these farms is exported, so national food prices may not be affected as much as you would think.

I'd be pretty happy if I could integrate iMessage and Signal together, since I hate the fact that iMessage is the only messaging platform with a native macOS app.
As I said in another comment, most of the food produced by these farmers is destined for export.

The two blockers I've had with FreeBSD as a workstation:

- huge lack of basic hardware support for things like wifi (or bluetooth) chipsets

- lack of Docker support (I'm one of those that uses Docker as my universal CLI package manager)

Aside from these things, I absolutely love the mentality and philosophies behind FreeBSD and would love to have a FreeBSD workstation!
Yet another consequence of politicians afraid to do what is evidently necessary for enviromental protection for decades and now, after a 2019 court order [1], only harsh measures (a strict speed limit on highways and a limit on farm animals) remain.

Politicians, of course from a center-right government, could have gone and implemented a soft, multi-year transition period towards animal farming that could have softened the impact, but they did not do so and rather chose to stick their heads into the sand. Now they have to deal with angry farmers.

The worst thing is, this sort of behavior towards environmental protection was common over the last decades, and with climate change becoming more and more severe and the judicial systems imposing stricter mandates as a result, we are looking towards serious social unrest. Everywhere. The French Yellow Vest protests were just the starter.

I can't make up my mind if this is good or bad. On one hand, FAANG has a huge advantage over anyone else on the market, but they did build that product and they did spend their own money to do it.

I'd be curious if there are any other occurrences in history of something so big ending up regulated by the government?

Another potential approach could be using the Web Animations API with an additive/relative animation approach via the `composite: 'add'` option. I say potential as it really only fully works in Chrome atm — Firefox has it but has weird rendering bugs and Safari says it has experimental support but I've never managed to get it working.

I like the potential of this approach as it lets you get smoother results than just CSS transitions yet doesn't require you to use a RAF loop-based animation library.
It is not blanket ludicrous. Not at all. If you expect the company to grow 100x next year, for example, it is not crazy at all. That's the extreme, but for example if they are valued at $72m and 72x revenue, and grow 100x the next year, now their revenue is $100m. That's great.
