Apple, for iOS 17 can you please let me freely rearrange the apps on the screen? Having them shuffle every time I add or remove an app is really a pain
O&M of a thing, often outweighs the initial cost of bootstrapping it in the first place.

The longer it runs, the more this is true.
6 years. iPhone 7 was released in September 2016.
> Mozilla can barely play catch-up with all the complex web standards pushed by Goog&co.

To be fair they also spend a lot of resources on dreaming up their own shit tier solutions. Like the time Google proposed federated learning of cohorts, which was universally shot down by critics. Mozilla saw that as a sign and jumped into bed with Meta to create their own version of it. Because who could think about user privacy without immediately thinking of Meta?

It is almost as if Mozillas leadership wants to prove that Mozilla is a waste of money.
The timing of the Starlink/T-Mobile pre-announcement makes sense now.
I have AirPods Pro but I still use Jabra wired headset with mic for work and important video calls. No issues like devices stealing the Bluetooth away from each other, and voice sounds much better which can be important for people’s perception.
Likely the former. They announced a new version of Carplay during WWDC. Basically rather than just applying to the infotainment system, it will also include information from the dashboard, and climate systems.

Yes, there are now also other companies that offer free tax filing. That’s literally not the point, is it?

Also who the hell is TaxHawk and why should they have my tax filing info lmao. The IRS already has everything. A simple letter, text message, or email from the government I pay taxes to is all it should take for me to get taxes complete. I review what they have, do nothing if it’s correct, and either pay taxes or get a tax return. Anything beyond that is a complete and utter waste of time.
"The motivation is claimed to be democracy, and some people even believe it" and "the motivation is democracy for an appreciable portion of the promoters" are vastly different things.
I believe Apple is going to - either acquire Globalstar or a similar satellite carrier (Lynk?) in the future. It's safe to buy stocks of the former.

Are they a gatekeeper? Do they even have the ability to stop someone registering something?
It's one of those things hidden in the menu you get when you drag down from the upper right (during a call). I think. I found it once on a video call to my mom, but like the lost city of Atlantis, it seems to have disappeared for me again now that I'm trying to find it again. I hate the iPhone UI, but they work so well most of the time...
> That adds overhead, which might rule Zig out in certain areas, but not others.

It seemed back when Rust was an upstart that everyone would ride its behind about how this and that feature could add runtime overhead compared to C or C++. Especially compared to C. But now people are comparing Zig and C and are saying (indirectly) that they are fine with runtime overhead in exchange for more safety? Has a shift happened?
It's not a common term. They're saying the exact same code will run successfully on 5 different CPU types (architectures).

I'm reminded of the Feynman "why" video. The other answers are technically more accurate than mine, and even mine assumes you understand the concept of CPU types. It's difficult to pitch answers at the right level.
There are a couple of articles from the past hour that mention the term, but zero details and zero about it on Apple's website.

I'm suspecting the journalists might be wrong? But I'd love to be proven wrong.
Does this apply to iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro? This is a total dealbreaker for me as I travel internationally too often.
If that's your main issue with headphones the pixel buds pro noise cancellation for mic and headphones are both insane. Examples from stress test here

My ask would be to get rid of the need for conda all together.

Conda obviously offers a lot of value in sharing hairy compiled packages, but it does not play well with anything else. None of available the tooling really works with both conda and pip. It fragments the already lousy packaging story.
Thanks, golden stuff. Is this mentioned by any authors you know? I havent come across it in literature yet but it makes perfect sense and totally aligns with my experience.
Central planning attempts did lead to some useful research though; the decentralized planning that enables, say, grocery stores is based on this.

I don't know about others, but what would have been a day one purchase for me is now going to be put off because of this one limitation. Flying into some random country, buying a prepaid SIM card at the airport or some street corner and popping it into my phone is something I do multiple times a year, but this phone seems to only have been designed with the major US carriers in mind (and not even most MVNOs). eSIM is not at all prevalent in most of the world.

In fact Apple knows this themselves, which is why international iPhone 14 models are going to keep the SIM tray. Removing it from US models is such a bizarre decision to me. Does the target iPhone user in the US just not travel?
Are you saying that you have tried VR headsets and find that they are bad for your motion sickness, or that you presume that they would be bad because of FPS games?

If it's the latter, there is a small chance that you would not have the same motion sickness problems with a VR HMD as you do with FPS gaming. Most of the headsets on the market today use 6-degree-of-freedom tracking for the head and hands. So if you move your head, the view does update accordingly. Actually, I'm not even aware of any headsets that are still available for purchase that have 3-DOF head tracking, though there are a few like the Vive Flow that have only 3-DOF controllers.

Headsets like the Quest 2 and Valve Index also have extremely high screen refresh rates (120hz and 144hz, respectively) that have practically eliminated for most people most of the motion sickness problems that can be attributed to the hardware alone. Granted, there are still some dodgy apps out there. I would avoid anything based on 360 video content in your case. Hell, I don't really have any motion sickness problems and I avoid 360 video content, just because I find non-interactive stuff to be a poor experience overall.

I wouldn't go out and buy one right away, but if you run into someone with a Quest 2, I'd encourage you to try it out. Supposedly, Meta is about to release their next iteration of headsets, whatever "Cambria" or "Quest 2 Pro" or "Quest 3" are supposed to be, which should be even more powerful.

The point I was trying to make in my post was that GP didn't know what he was talking about and that devices like the Lenovo T1 would be a lot worse for the kinds of issues he was mentioning than the VR headsets he was complaining about.

Personally the best features of my airpod pros are that they have never fallen out of my ears and I can wear them for 10+ hours straight without noticing them where other earbuds would get my ears sore after a couple hours.

Do they work as well with non apple products? No, but the apple integration isn't what makes them great imo.
Same. The Lightning connector does double duty as a holder for the phone. You can support the weight of the phone cantilevered from just that connector.

I wouldn't trust USB-C to hold up to the same abuse I deal to my lightning connectors.
No, you can already use offline alternatives like tabnine but it's not as good. But I guess better opensource models and tools will be available eventually.
Sorry, I looked at a bad source. But looks like so did you. Here's Investopedia:

> You can sell your primary residence and be exempt from capital gains taxes on the first $250,000 if you are single and $500,000 if married filing jointly. (once every 2 years)

> You can add your cost basis and costs of any improvements that you made to the home to the $250,000 if single or $500,000 if married filing jointly.

So I'll change my question:

What percentage of home owners are profiting >$250k (single)/ >$500k (married)? What percent of them do that more frequently than a 2 year period?

I'm willing to bet that these numbers are still very low. That's the entire point. I'm sure there's nuance I've missed as I'm not an expert. But my entire point isn't about specifics, it is that your argument against this system is about edge cases. If you can prove that these aren't edge cases, I'll actually side with you. If not, I still see return free filing as an extremely beneficiary policy to the vast majority of Americans, and especially to those with the least income. I already know that 90% of households take the standard deduction, so you're going to have to make some substantial claims.

An 8-core server? Please. Just my team uses 70 vCores (peak) in our Kubernetes cluster. Without a custom licensing agreement that's $140k/year. The whole company is bound to pay well over $500k/year.

Furthermore, most people here (as usual) seem to be completely ignorant about what Akka is. The vast majority of Akka users only ever interact with Akka through other libraries that depend on it: Akka-HTTP, Akka-Streams, Alpakka Connectors, etc. Hardly anyone actually uses Akka actors directly, the Akka Cluster platform or recently implemented distributed programming features (like Akka persistence) that makes up the business model of Lightbend. It's essentially a runtime system; an implementation detail. It's no surprise that none of these users ever make contributions back to a software that is so far removed from business code.
Every time some unfortunate computer shit happens in USA, they inevitably blame it on: china, north korea, iran, russia.

or the values provided by ORMs

I'll point out that the world is pretty diverse and there are actually lots of people who think that ORMs were a mistake and lots of people who think that using them is always a no-brainer. There's an interesting phenomenon that it seems like a lot of folks manage to build up reasonably long careers while only running into one side of this divide or the other and not even realize that the verdict on ORMs isn't a settled fact where one choice is always right.

Perhaps it's similar with engineering management and we should be having a more nuanced conversation.

Correction: Apple and Mozilla will be able to just download the CRLs. Not me. The link in the post SPECIFICALLY says us common plebes don't get that right.
Great suggestions. The "third party buys popular extension and quietly adds malware" approach is also a huge attack vector. There really ought to be some way to prevent an extension from updating until you've had a chance to review and approve that change, especially if it requests a lot of sensitive permissions.

I fly often. Just the idea of always getting wired headphones tangled in something is a pain.

I use Beats Flex headphones though. It’s a lot easier to just hang them around my neck and they don’t fall to the floor if they fall out my ear. They also last 12 hours.

Wired headphones are especially a pain when running,
I mean there are people with arts degrees who went through adjacent if not identical accredited programs and early careers, now working professionally in journalism and writing fiction. The broad perspective, if not the specific niche of the perspective, is well-represented.

This is functionally not the case with engineering schools. Are there any experienced CS or CpE majors working as journalists for major mainstream media organizations? There may be, I honestly don’t know, but they are at least rather hard to find.

Hacker news exists and has value in part because what we had before were predominantly press releases and wikis run by often a single person. Writers with very few exceptions didn’t have the depth of practical experience necessary to provide insights and context, while technology needing commentary was rapidly emerging.

A lot of the early would-be peers such as slashdot and ars got absorbed by media companies and now they are not the same. It helps that HN does not have to make money, and from what I have seen is extremely well moderated.
I spent most of the trial hating Copilot and the way takes over my Tab key in Jetbrains software. It got in the way a bit too much. Every time I tried to use emmet shortcuts, live template triggers or anything muscle memory related, it would bring something else, so I had to undo, press Esc a couple of times and then continue with whatever I actually wanted.

However, every now and then, there came a typed object or something mundane and Copilot exceled at it, so I decided that I want to find a way for it to coexist in a way that's as easy to use as pressing Tab to expand it. Lo and behold - I found an unused key below Tab (AKA caps lock), remapped it and now it doesn't get in the way and I can use Copilot's help only when I want.
Google AdSsense has always been able to bypass adblockers, as other advertisers have worked to do. At least in the "they could if they tried", they obviously have the technical prowess. But they haven't because that would be a scandal and invite scrutiny that they likely want to avoid - they own a massive part of the market without resorting to such things, it's not yet in their interest to do that.

So yes, as I said, maybe this is step 1 in a longer term plan to completely remove adblockers. Maybe one day so many people will rely on adblockers that Google is forced to take a drastic measure.

I personally don't expect that to be the case any time soon, but that's really not based on much.
Would you do me a favor and summarize what you think I said? I feel like what I'm writing and what you're reading are two different things.
Looks to me like the actual problem is in string.__mul__ -- that one's got arbitrary memory usage. Better limit those arguments...
The hardest part about true charity is accepting that much of it will not be spent in a way that you deem to be correct. This applies just as much to individual giving as well as government welfare and NGOs.

It is true that many charities are inefficient. Some are fraudulent. Still, it is overall far more effective in the whole to give to organizations that can impact at scale.
And I would like my cake to re-appear after eating it. But it doesn’t happen.

While I’m not anti-web3 I’m sceptical the promised results will appear not for technical reasons but due to misaligned incentives. At the end of the day someone has to pay for the storage or compute and we’re back to systems of exploitative extraction by proxy. Your personal data pays for service X via advertising and you pay directly for service Y by volunteering cryptocurrency based information exchange tokens so that blah blah blah it’s normally just tokens automatically created to track what you do which makes it just the same as advertised, arguably more creepy.

It’s a very lofty technical goal, I fear will fail for very normal human psychological reasons.
Correct, although many municipalities (like Boulder, CO) have ridiculous zoning laws such that you can't make multi-story apartment complexes. So the choice for developers is just single family suburbia
This is one of the main reasons I keep a Garmin for running (that, and real buttons on the Garmin, which Apple Watch Ultra might fix). I wear the Apple Watch at night, and if I didn't remember to throw it on the charger for a bit after waking up, well, no run for you because there's not enough battery. I mean, between those two activities (sleep tracking and running), I was constantly managing the battery charging because the damned thing won't last through a day.

That, and I was really doubtful that the Apple product would 100%-for-sure-no-excuses make it through a marathon, and I'm fast enough to qualify for Boston. No way it would have made it through the five hour trail marathon I ran a few weeks ago.

So I really, really want the Apple Watch Ultra just so I can pare down to one watch. But the Garmin 945 isn't even a year old, so we'll see what Apple has to offer next year.
I use it almost daily with typescript and it works well. It will guess wrong some types once in a while but it's still a very nice help.
Then they shouldn't get so mad at something that's merely annoying; it's bad for the heart and circulatory system.
I have an XM3 also. Only occasionally does it try to pair with the wrong device. That might have a lot to do with me turning bluetooth off on unused devices though. However, in the rare instances where it does connect to the wrong device, I hold the power button down which forces it to enter pairing mode and disconnect. And almost always, the device I want to use will then connect. It hasn't happened often enough to be an annoyance yet.
I’ve seen people minimize the usability of the AirPods. My dad who’s quite technology-averse, figured it out in 2 minutes while I helped him over FaceTime. The only reason he agreed to even try it was because the wired EarPods broke. Since then he just loves his AirPods.
I migrated my personal email from Google Workspace to iCloud+ a few months ago, and it worked great. No complaints so far.

Chicago, I can make a televisit appointment to my primary care doctor typically with 1 day lead times. In person is typically 2 so he can schlep down to his office. He is a single practitioner with part time office and IT help. He recommends going to the minute clinic a block away from my house for most things that I can recognize and only calling him for a yearly consult which is a review of blood tests and a discussion about my health or for something the clinic didn’t figure out.

This seems like a completely reasonable approach and I’m always surprised that it’s not the default.
Apparently it works with Find My as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they started rolling out premium features that take more bandwidth once everybody's free two years expires.
Not sure how much else they could do with it. You need to wave your phone around at the sky to send a few bytes of data. It must just be a really low capacity network.
Ah that must be why i code in english: put the blame on the americans! :D
this would all make more sense if python was using a reasonably fast string to int routine, but the one they are using is asymptotically bad, and the limit they chose is roughly a million times lower than it should have been.
Huh… didn’t realize OS X made it to Apple Silicon
> They prefer slices idiomatically, but that's not "full spatial memory safety".

I don't think people say a language is unsafe if it has opt-in unsafety in controlled, non-idiomatic ways. Java, C#, Rust, etc. all have unsafe things you can do, but they are still memory-safe languages.

Specifically for Zig, I don't see a reason the compiler couldn't have an optional warning on using an unsafe pointer, so codebases can be audited for this risk, making this a controllable form of unsafety (unlike most of the unsafety in C!).

> The overhead is extremely high, because it leaks an entire 4kB page if a single allocation from that page is still alive.

In general you are right, and in a long-running process that would be the case. But consider a short-running wasm event handler: such overhead is generally not going to be significant there. So this rules out some uses cases, but not all.

> I don't see much room for a new language that isn't memory-safe in 2022.

Yeah, I agree the space for a language like Zig is limited: GC languages are the right answer for most things anyhow, as you said, and when they are not, often memory safety is crucial (like in a web browser) and I'd strongly prefer Rust over Zig there.

Still, there are use cases where Zig seems nice, like wasm event handlers that I mentioned: they're sandboxed anyhow, binaries are small, and it's nice to not have GC overhead. Zig's simplicity and fast compile times are a bonus.

Another use case are low-level things that you'd need lots of unsafe in Rust anyhow. I'm not sure if I'd prefer Rust or Zig in such a case myself. I'd prefer either over C, though.
I've daily driven the xm3's and the xm4's for years and their multi-device support is so bad that it literally makes it worse than not having it at all. I explicitly disable multi-device support for them because the headphones will randomly jump around for seemingly no reason at all making them entirely unusable. Apple's bluetooth headphones, assuming you are living exclusively inside of the apple ecosystem, are the only bluetooth headphones that have multi-device support that is actually functional.

If you chain your xm4's to a single device then they work pretty much flawlessly but that is also way less convenient.
I think with all of their resources, Apple of all companies could dig deep and stretch a little bit to make that happen.
Maybe we should limit the lengths of strings altogether. 512k should be enough for anybody.
> I see plenty of folks in here lamenting this release at all - in the hopes that the lack of it will push folks to Firefox. It won't. Those who care about this are already on Firefox

Huh? I'm going to switch to Firefox the second uBlock Origin stops working on Chrome. Otherwise I'll continue to use Chrome because it's a better browser (for me). I don't think I'm some rare minority here.
Still true for cryptocurrency, and still true that you have latitude over whether to do it as FIFO vs LIFO vs specific lots.

Edit: To pre-empt some replies: yes, centralized exchanges will report sales but they won't always know your cost basis, and a lot of the trades will happen on-chain, which definitely isn't automatically reported.

To be clear, I support the IRS doing as much as the filing as possible, and I agree these issues aren't dealbreakers, but please don't make the situation look different than it really is.
I think you underestimate how many iPhones are sold per year, and how many phones Apple forecasts to sell for the 14 model which is satellite enabled. We're talking tens of millions

Couple that with phones that will roam into satellite coverage in rural areas... there will be extensive bandwidth requirements from this newly deployed fleet. Especially in the summer...
Imagine dying in a forest because you didn’t pay your landlord for the life saving shelter.
So don't use Zig?

I see this comment a lot in response to feedback: "Don't like it? Don't use it!" Every single time, it reads to me as "stop complaining!" For as many times as I've seen the comment, I haven't been able to read it any other way.

Am I being uncharitable or is it really just a clear-cut attempt to silence debate?
