"impossible to install native code on the device you ostensibly own without Apple's ongoing permission" is what I asserted, which is exactly correct.
>>Running do over an hour gets boring unless you're trail running and have different scenery to look forward to.

As somebody into heavy hands walking this is precisely my problem. Urban walking gets boring and tedious quickly.

Most people who enjoy these activities are basically looking forward to spending some time in solitude walking in natural spaces where there is much green, sunlight, wind and some scenery to relish.
Media technology has always had an outsized effect.

This is right out of the 1960's. Not exactly the dawn of television, more like about 7:30, 8:00 in the morning when you're finally really waking up:

>Propaganda is a subject of great concern in our society today, perhaps more so than in any other society in history. With the advent of television as a complement to the other communications media now available to us, the opportunities to use propaganda in disseminating information, expounding ideas, and offering opinions have increaseed considerably. And, unfortunately, it is far too often the case that propaganda is used to make us accept questionable points-of-view, to make us vote for men who may be unfit for public office, and to make us buy products which are useless and sometimes even dangerous. Therefore, propaganda, or the method of influencing people to believe certain ideas and to follow certain courses of action, is of special importance to each of us.

Of course back then almost nobody had even seen a color TV yet, and when color eventually became less rare they were really hypnotic like never before.

There's always these well-worn techniques:

https://propaganda.games/technique

This actually started as an academic game during the Cold War, by a TV actor who had first-hand knowledge from associates who were blacklisted a decade earlier as suspected communists, in what can only be seen as an exaggerated over-reaction to actual Communist propaganda itself.

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-20408094

For both communist and anti-communist propaganda, students were expected to be better off if they were more prepared to see through the BS.
It’s funny you say that- I assume all private jets are bugged. Too many important people fly on them. If DHS is recording conversations on buses, why wouldn’t they want to listen to the conversations of much wealthier and more powerful people?
I heard Stable Diffusion's model is just 4 GB. It's incredible that billions of images could be squeezed in just 4 GB. Sure it's lossy compression but still.
Not paying the minimum wage is illegal, as well. Doesn't stop employers from cheating ~20% of eligible workers in US on that.
Then you might as well talk about "C/Rust". Both go to LLVM. But nobody says it, because it would be BS in exactly the same way "C/C++" is.

What matters about a language as a technology, as in the context of this Mark guy's blurb, is how it works in use. There, C and C++ share hardly anything in common: what you do writing good code in one is nothing at all like what you do with the other.

You might get a C program compiled with a C++ compiler, but it would be utterly crappy code, considered as C++.

So, "C/C++" is an inherently dishonest construction. Anybody using it for a context outside of, say, ELF formats or peephole optimization is promoting a lie.

Lying says more about the speaker than about the supposed topic.
With compression you often make a prediction then delta off of it. A structurally garbled one could be discarded or just result in a worse baseline for the delta.
Worthless, or just worth less?
Asked by Perth Museum and Art Gallery, Scotland, where the cloak is going next. Not Te Papa or elsewhere in NZ.
They’re currently doing this in infosec to all the new people wanting to break into the field.
No. Copyright law says that only the author of a work is allowed to make copies, and a few other things such as make a public performance, etc. For you to be allowed to make a copy, change the code, transforming it (as in compiling it), you need permission from that author to do that. Another word for “permission” is “license”. That’s it; that’s how it works.

I.e. no license – no permission.
Sure, why wouldn't they? They only need to make an example of one employee every now and then to deter the rest.
> In the current model, the barrier to entry is pretty low. $99 gets you xcode, plus you need done hardware.

Hundreds of dollars in apple hardware and software compared to zero dollars for MSVC community, zero dollars for android developer studio, zero dollars for linux toolchain or whatever.

>Once you've made something you need to reach a market. A good market place (like a regular super market) brings together suppliers and customers. That market has costs.

The cost of hosting the app store is essentially the cost of hosting a web service that lets you download and buy programs. The developers could easily host their own app store as a web page if iOS just facilitated running programs downloaded from the internet or loaded externally. Apple has built themselves a dam upstream and is charging everyone downstream for water-rights-as-a-service.

>One model for costs is to charge each app the same amount. Say, for example $5000 per app submission. Lots of successful suppliers would like this model because it raises the bar for completion, and means they pay less money.

>Another model is free-to-enter, but takes a cut of the sales. Successful products end up paying much much more than stuff no-one wants.

The only fair model here is the one where 100% of apple's income comes from hardware sales alone. That is the only situation where you don't set up the user to be exploited by erecting these walls around what they can and cannot run on their own hardware.

> If you develop for iOS you know the rules.

They know the rules, and they know the rules are bullshit. What do you want them to do, throw their hands in the air and say "welp, them's the rules, I guess we can should never try to use our leverage or negotiate better rules cause that's just how it is I guess."
>Looks like Nvidia is on its way to be the next Intel.

There's a non-trivial part of several industries who do not want to see that happen, because NVidia treats its customers and partners orders of magnitude worse than Intel ever did.
What's a more credible source, people on the internet with theories ? That's all i'm seeing here.

There is plenty of precedent for Chinese or Russian state editorial interference in media, or the Murdoch's dictating Fox news talking points, I still see no evidence (that thing you are supposed to base your beliefs on) for Bezos interfering with WaPo. I do see a lot of conspiracies by people that don't like what WaPo publishes (Trump among them).
Yes, but possibly not the entire model, hypothetically for instance some fine-tuning on compression and then distillation.
I agree, but you get used to it. With enough familiarity, it's just as readable.

The fact that I have built all of this is part of why I don't accept contributions. [1] I don't expect people to be able to read my code.

Agreed. What's an example of VOA misrepresenting the truth in the way you describe ?
Except the law.
shouldn’t matter who does it or for how much, as long as the sw lifecycle process is followed (which would include supplier oversight). Actually writing code, btw, is the cheap/easy part- designing correct system and sw requirements, along with verification, is much more expensive.
See what? An irrelevant comment that doesn't address the fact that one doesn't get to magically wish away a corporation's claim (unjust or not) of debt against an individual? Because that's not how debt works ("just ignore it") and directly ignores the article:

"Although critics question the legality of TRAPs, a legal analysis published last year found that courts generally uphold the agreements in challenges brought under anti-kickback provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act, the law establishing a federal minimum wage. However, the author of the study, Loyola Marymount associate law professor Jonathan F. Harris, said another type of legal challenge might prove more successful: courts could refuse to enforce TRAP contract language under the so-called unconscionability doctrine, a legal principle that allows judges to void agreements containing unreasonable terms dictated by a party “with superior bargaining power.” In 2000, the study noted, a federal judge in Manhattan nullified one employment agreement in the financial services industry, ruling that the language of the contract “approaches indentured servitude.”"

So, I don't get where you or the other person in this thread are getting the idea that this is a non issue because you can just ignore the contract terms. I too wish this was a non issue for those involved and ignorable, because it's despicable. It's obviously unconscionable and a problem that these companies are attempting to extort money from disadvantaged populations (not the supposedly previously narrower, highly paid technical applications of the agreements) even if said agreements existed in a counterfactual universe in which a corporation pursuing you for debt was a non issue. Debt is not expensive to draft continuous demand letters against or to transfer to a collections agency. Plus, you know, the above paragraph in the article.
Please see my reply/response ref: "ffwd: delegation is (much) faster than you think" in this HN post. It's a scheme to leverage high core-to-core bandwidth to make coordinating shared data structures easier. I'd definitely be interested in your 2 cents.
But it wasn't a programming error, right? So why would it matter whether the code was written by an unpaid intern, a $9/h engineer or their senior software engineer? The code seemingly did exactly what it was supposed to.
Those are SV bubble salaries. Companies that make things don't pay that much.
It would seem to me that as long at C++ is the primary language to write for a GPU, it will be a necessary language for new projects for a long time.
This is interesting - are you saying it's possible with appropriate synchronization to race the scanout on a modern GPU/display to get true line-by-line display for an emulator and avoid the buffering delay (e.g. 1/4 frame at 120 Hz)?

Presumably native graphics and games already need to sync with fixed rate displays to avoid tearing (or buffer and pay a latency price.) The fact that tearing exists would seem to indicate that you can update a frame while it is being scanned out.

I imagine that racing the beam (or video signal scanout in the case of non-CRTs) might actually work, especially with VGA where you could set to an appropriate resolution.
> C and C++ aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Love them, hate them, want to burn them with fire, they're here for a long, long time.

Nobody denies this, which is why one of Rust's main goals was supporting the C ABI, so Rust can use existing C libraries, or an application written in C can use Rust libraries.

> Leaving that aside, I was still hitting Rust "oh look the developer of this crate on which the entire universe depends still assumes that everything is x86, and one of five operating systems" issues as recently as late 2021.

I am curious. Could you give some more context?

> Get a build system that's easily workable without an Internet connection and recent TLS support.

Cargo supports vendoring dependencies and local dependencies.

> Make it easy for beginners to build out Rust infrastructure for OpenVMS on Itanium, Solaris on SPARC, z/OS, MorphOS, GNU/Hurd, and a 20-year-old budget PDA running a custom OS on an SH4 CPU.

When has it even been easy for beginners to build out systems infrastructure?

Progress is being made on allowing Rust to target more platforms, including `rustc_codegen_gcc` and `gcc-rs`.
Sure, but there's no indication that this will become one of them. If the Museum decides to steal it, definitely feel free to come back and say "I told you so!". But I think that is incredibly unlikely in this case.
Stop trying to make “controlling for a variable” happen
I don't know, there's a certain point where the cost itself is a bad sign and software engineering for $9/hour is definitely below that point. If you found out the pilot of your flight was making $9 an hour, wouldn't you be concerned?

All those territories count their people as US citizens (except American Samoa they need to fix that), most have voted to either be part of the US or enjoy popular support of remaining so.

That's not what empires do.
Thinking about this a bit more, if I wanted to scratch my own itch… there’s a nice VS Code plug-in called Qalc [1] which I could probably build an iOS interface around and use Syncthing/Möbius Sync…

In my last two jobs I refused to have deadlines. It's done when it's done and there is no one that can do anything about it. Companies need to accept this.
> When I minimize an app, it means I'm done with it for the moment.

You can’t “minimize an app” on macOS; you can only minimize windows. If you’re done with an app for the moment, hide it.
The problem is that they don't fork it. Instead they harass you.
> There can still be implicit bias. Please read this publication from MIT on this exact subject: https://tll.mit.edu/teaching-resources/inclusive-classroom/i...

If anything, this lends even more support to Abbot's proposed changes to admissions criteria. Removal of race from applicants' applications would eliminate the implicit bias, as admission officers would not know the race of applicants. This is like putting the screen between orchestra performers and reviewers in auditions.

> The issue is not that there aren't enough qualified students or that unqualified students are being placed above qualified ones or that merit is being ignored.

Then why are Asians at the top of the class still only half as likely to get admitted than Black applicants in the middle? The fact that you proclaim that all applicants are qualified does not alter the racial disparity in admissions rates.

Here's another blunt example: I have some job that requires a fitness test. I have 1,000 applicants run a a mile. If they can do it in less than 8 minutes they're qualified. 400 applicants make the 8 minute cutoff. 100 of them Black, 100 white, 100 Asian, 100 Latin. I hire 100 white applicants and no one else. When people complain that I only hired people of one race I point out that all of them passed the 8 minute qualification test and no unqualified white applicant was hired over a qualified applicant of another race. Is that a reasonable way to argye that this hiring process was not racially discriminatory.

This is when doing event-sourcing is a godsend. You just replay all the events and rebuild your ENTIRE system from a single table(or wherever you store/backup your events).
You're not wrong, main difference is between big companies vs smaller ones. Big name brands can afford to shell out more, but sometimes you see the smaller shitty dropshippers trying to get more visibility by hyping the hell out of a sub par product
It's much easier to audit a ton of unsafe blocks beneath a safe abstraction layer than an entire codebase. And Rust provides very powerful tools like Miri which can catch pretty much any soundness issue if you have good enough test coverage.
Something interesting about the San Francisco test image is that if you start to look into the details, its clear that some real changes have been made to the city. Rather than losing texture or grain or clarity, the information lost in this is information about the particular layout of a neighborhood of streets, which has now been replaced as if some one were drawing the scene from memory. A very different kind of loss that with out the original might be imperceptible because the information that was lost isn't replaced with random or systematic noise, but rather new, structured information..
>Ah yes. Of course. Say something positive about China? You're Chinese, pro-Chinese, pro-CCP. Such a shit show.

>Are you a white male? Pro-America? Pro-MAGA? Neo-Nazi?

I'm not sure if equating being Chinese / pro-Chinese with being Pro-MAGA or a Neo-Nazi is what you want to be doing. But yes, I'm white male and from all the different possible pros today, probably more Pro-America than anything else. It's easily the least bad option.

>But you never considered all the anti-China articles posted here as blatant propaganda?

Examples, please.
I agree on the first point. I think this is fully compatible with what I said too.
To be fair: if it was aimed at people who don't use desk calculators all day, maybe it should say "clear all". You know, in actual words. Or have a picture of a trash can on it. To me, desk calculators with CA/M/MR/MC... are a design fail.
US bases pay rent on land, employ locals, and will instantly shut down if the host country asks them to (after having been invited to enter to begin with). Of course there are cold war era exceptions, but this is the norm:

Again, doesn't sound like any Empire i've read about in a history book.
The use case is not wanting people to care, in theory if you license a small code sample under ISC / MIT / normal BSD, etc. licenses then someone has to include the copyright statement in "all copies" (ISC, or slightly different wording with the others).

With 0BSD there's no need to remove the copyright notice, but there's no need to proliferate the text.

As mentioned in https://landley.net/toybox/license.html the result of correctly complying with this can be crazy things like: https://github.com/android/platform_system_core/blob/fd4c6b0...

The advantage of 0BSD is it appears to be the most accepted OSI license without the attribution requirement (given as you mention CC0 isn't accepted by Fedora, Unlicense isn't allowed by Google). Usual not being a lawyer applies, this is just my observations.
When people say they "did their own research", they are referring to a process of self-indoctrination based on a strong confirmation bias to "find" evidence in what they already believe to be true.

This applies to comments about single statements in the code, unless they have an esoteric side-effect or there is a particular why that needs to be explained.

But comments that describe a paragraph/block of code have a separate value. Being able to skim code faster because of a series of well chosen sentences is an aide beyond clear code. As the OP described it is a good way to design before the code is written.
The problem with those ostensibly rare "bad cops" is that the supposed "good cops" tend to look the other way at best, and tacitly support them at worst. Cops who actually try to call their colleagues out tend to be heckled or worse. Here's a documented case of an entire police department ganging up against one whistleblower to the point of involuntarily committing him to a mental institution, with full knowledge, approval, and cooperation of higher-ups all the way to police commissioner.

Ha, was that a stealth edit? Fine, I’ll yield. You can have this win.

But really side loading is not as difficult as you’re making it out to be. The biggest hurdle for most is access to Mac, but renting a cloud instance an option too.
That makes no sense and I'd be interested in examples supporting it that are not some person on the fringe shouting opinions.

What should the goal of the police department regarding killing innocent people? Should they aim for a dozen per quarter? Per-capita weighted?

Incremental changes have been hard because it gets down to the police policing themselves, and that has shown to be a failure.

Again, one of the "simplest" reforms would be to have other professionals deal with mental health crises.

A bigger reform with much more value would be ending the War on Drugs but that's way higher up the food chain. It is germane though, in that the whole point of said war was to give police more opportunities to oppress "others" (i.e., "minorities" and "hippies").
Correlation may not imply causality here.

Many of the most successful free market economies embody the concept of "was born on third base and thinks he hit a triple."

The United States and Canada had relatively easy access to territorial expansion, which offered them huge amounts of fertile, temperate land and almost any natural resource needed. They also started with a high-immigrant and relatively educated population.

South Korea got to build their economy late enough to be relatively unburdened by legacy costs. They also had a Western world more than willing to ignore a series of presidents-for-life, domestic crackdowns, and incestuous government-industry relationships as long as they kept Kim Il-Sung up in the attic.

Even Singapore had the advantage of being ideally located for trade purposes.

With those benefits, was the free market necessary to unlock their success?

Conversely, if you dropped (say) the American Founders in 1917 Moscow or 1948 Peking, would they do any better?

My employer has a tuition reimbursement program. IIRC it has clawback if you leave within like 6 months.

This is obviously different in that it's entirely optional, and relatively sane rates (whatever the real university decides). But because of that clawback I could maybe see it getting caught up in a carelessly written ban.
