To an extent, but the reality is that an unacceptably-large percentage of apps that are 2+ years old are not correctly handling current screen sizes and reserved sensor areas.

Great. This is the kind of active culling/editing an app store requires to remain vibrant.

This sort of pseudo-centrist argumentation that is fixated on signaling that everyone is hypocritical and/or flawed isn't helpful either other than as an attempt to demonstrate the speaker's intelligence to the audience.

There's enough climate denial and the problem is acute enough that there doesn't need to be an acknowledgment for every "but we've already had bad weather" person out there. Engaging is largely pointless.

Now of course that leads to the idea you've alluded to that climate discussion follows a religious sort of diction. There's some truth to that, but imagine for a second that the most extreme form of the argument is true, that climate change is 100% unfounded religious nonsense. Even in that worst case scenario, you end up with multiple sources of renewable energy, reduced pollution, reduced consumption of resources, increased energy efficiency, less consumerism, and so on... things we should be doing anyway with or without the greenhouse effect. Can any religious doctrine match the usefulness of this eschatology?
That's fair. In my mind, they're at least related: if I'm trying to learn about some code, I change stuff and see what breaks.
It's wild how one can drive down route 89 or 91 in VT (the two long north south routes in the state) & be amid beautiful simple mountains & open space, beautiful nature, and still know: this state has a horrible housing availability/affordability crisis. So much space everywhere & nowhere to live.

There's definitely tons of land still. But like our continental friends have seen for hundreds of years now, only some of it js really attractive, in demand. And we are very very slow to allow development, to allow unlocking it.

Im in Washington DC, and for a while this city was a hotbed of coops, of places developed for people then then over to them, with a slow & not bad at all development debt owed. It still seems like such a mature & respectable model, such an obvious way to upzone humanely: take current property owners & new would be owners & build a much more vuluable much higher capacirt people owned property out of the existing land. For a city that was so good about this though for so long, Im shocked stunned & saddened for it simply seems to have stopped being a thing, something like 40 years ago or more. Where did the culture of people doing for people go?

These past two decades I personally have been some witness to have been a pretty sorry sight
indeed by comparison. Large corporate run condos are the only big development. And more so, there's so much taking a family sized row house & spending a bunch of money to rebuild it, as a set of three over-expensive 1.5BR unfit for a family condo units, partitioning up & reducing the net living space (via lost stairway space) compared to the original WW2 build. We're getting worse, & profiteering without helping.
It started out as a silly, obviously joking comment in the twitch chat of a GM chess streamer (Eric Hansen). Then he jokingly overreacted to it, and explained how it's possible, as an obvious joke. Then Elon tweeted about it as an obvious joke. But news websites don't care to make that distinction, and write about it.
> FOSS goes beyond throwing some code on a forge and slapping a license on it!

It literally does not. Please refer me to any definition of Free and Open Source Software that refers to anything beyond the text contained in the license. Please stop spreading such woefully sore interpretations. This is exactly how you burn out authors and maintainers.

> A lot of companies do astroturfing by creating a false impression of community, cooperation, openness and decentralized development.

I've said it elsewhere, but these elements do not inherently have anything to do with Open Source. It's beyond foolish to presume them.

> Later on they add CLAs, switch to open-core or use other tricks to strictly control development and use.

If this bothers you (which it shouldn't) then perhaps consider an alternative licenses which restrict the ability to monetize without releasing source, such as AGPL.

Licenses are being wielded as per their lettering. This is a good thing, generally. We all benefit from Open Source regardless of CLAs or open-core.
It's much easier to support only a handful of apps on an old SDK than millions. Those a few probably only utilize 30% APIs the SDK exposes, meaning you can safely assume the rest 70% can be removed from maintenance list. They can also one-on-one work with those few companies on deprecation and migration.

Basically a cost saving move.
I disagree. I have some common lisp libraries that have not been touched in years and the majority of my day to day is in company git.

I believe PSX was originally originally used by Sony as a codename for the PlayStation; not sure whether it was referred to as such externally by them. I think I remember gaming magazines at the time before the PS1s release referring to it as the PSX but am not certain.
Notion’s selection and undo/redo with multiplayer are pretty potato. Notion stores selection as grapheme indexes in a text property, so while it won’t lose selection if someone adds/removed characters from a text, your selection won’t make as much sense as one in Google Docs. Likewise with undo/redo or regular typing into the same field - it’s all last-write-wins updates.

On the other hand, Notion’s editor does a much better job with CJK input, Android, etc compared to Slate. Slate has a beautiful API design but its implementation suffers outside of ideal conditions.

Directly attached NVME drives will have throughput of up to 30-50Gbps (with something like m.2) which should be attainable with NVMe-oF over QSFP28 and it's not that rare or expensive anymore. Others have commented on the latency. Fibre Channel can be considered network too (and it is) and it's quite fast.

The guilt/shame distinction is good. I’m hardly a leader in any sense that scales and I have very few illusions that’s gonna change, but I definitely recognize I’m more fit for the role of making decisions when I take my responsibility personally rather than taking my perceived or real failures personally. It’s been hard for me to learn and even hard to navigate in the past day. But I’m much better for regretting my failures and seeking to correct them, when I’m focused on how I could have been better helping and serving the people around me, than when I’m licking my wounds after I didn’t serve myself well.
> The differentiating factor is probably prior exposure to C++. If you have used C++ then Rust is so easy and convenient and fun. It takes hideous C++ monstrosities and turns them into easy one liners.

Obviously you didn't mean that as a universal rule, but for posterity, I'm a counter-example to that. I learned Rust before learning C++ or Go. If anything, I think this biased me _more_ towards Rust than the others; C++ just kind of felt like a more error-prone, less ergonomic Rust, and Go just felt like it took far too much boilerplate to get anything done.
Thanks. Edited such that my post isn't so targeted, at least. If it's still insufficient and gets taken down, it happens. I think my post is far less interesting than the observed behavior I mention.

New features in the API indirectly benefit the end users (once apps start using them). But those new features don't have to be breaking, and that part doesn't help the users at all. It does help Apple spend less resources on maintenance, though.

> I don't see Nintendo removing old Switch games from the eShop.

The difference is that Nintendo shops have a limited shelf life, while App Store is forever(-ish). Nintendo will be shutting down the Wii U and 3DS eShops in 2023.

2023 is 6 years after Wii U was discontinued. Since the platform was frozen in time in 2017, there's no point to game updates.
> once a single can is made, has an infinite supply at zero cost

The point is, the businesses are abusing the social contract. The unspoken agreement is, that the item is for people who cant afford it. The businesses can afford it. They just see that its free, so they are taking advantage of that fact.

Yes, some licenses explicitly allow the business to do that. However I don't think some developers take the time to actually think about what their license means, and they end up giving up more rights than they would if they had a better understanding. If you told an open source developer that even AGPL allows commercial use, some might be surprised by that fact.

Your gender stereotypes are made up, and ridiculous to boot.
I've mused about this a few times over the years (e.g. https://twitter.com/cederman/status/641507163639148544), and it is interesting how big a deal it was at the time on gaming forums.
Make sure to turn on pdfgrep-mode (a global minor mode, its role is to advise compilation-mode to make it deal with pdfgrep output) and then run M-x pdfgrep with a syntax similar to M-x grep, so you need to specify the filename(s) to grep in.

A full arg list after M-x pdfgrep will be something like:

You don't need to be in a pdf buffer to invoke it.

Can you be specific about what those hardware things are, and why they matter for serverside workloads? Yes: the premise of Firecracker is that the hypervisor only supports the virtio devices, and doesn't emulate real hardware. Where does that end up being problematic?

Yes, it's definitely the 7% wind and solar performing exactly as advertised that is the cause of the issue, not the 35% gas and 10% nuclear which are both having problems.

We should definitely spend our money on a system that will provide 1W of baseload 60-80% of the time and require gas for the rest, rather than a wind+solar+storage system that will provide at least 1 watt 100% of the year and average 2-5W depending on location.

Can you try to make that a little more specific? What does "general-purpose" mean here? "Secure containerized workloads" tends to imply serverside. It's hard to think of things --- other than GPU access --- that Firecracker takes away here.
This comment may have been the tipping point into seriously considering quitting. Deep down I already felt it coming on but seeing it laid out like this hit home. The person currently in that leadership position fits every one of these bullet points and somehow remains in that position.

All their direct reports just seem to accept this lot in life, everyone else does their best to avoid drawing their ire. I imagine that maybe something will happen and they will get the picture and actually grow as a leader. It's growing old though and I miss being on a team wherein this wasn't the day to day morale.

Maybe they'll read this. Maybe it's you. Please take this seriously. You could do better.
> Get some of your chess team members to take temporary jobs on the crews setting up some of those shows

Bands travel with their own crew, so they'd have to get hired on as a roadie (which is not unskilled labor) where ever the tour was put together. Not so simple, because once you see the date at MSG, it's way too late to get on that crew, and if they do get on a crew, how would they know they're going to play MSG before the manager does?

I'm not certain, but I assume MSG is a union shop, so a local hire to work there would require joining the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (ISTSG), and being a productive member for years before having enough seniority to be able to choose where they want to work.

Promoters and event organizers hire temps (you'll notice young people wearing black shirts with "SECURITY," emblazoned on them at shows, the only unskilled labor available), but the first time they'd get to be on location is during the event, and they have to work.

While your plan sounds simple enough, the reality is it would not be possible even with years of preparation. You can volunteer in public theater or go to work for an event provider to further understand why, but I'll just tell you. There is too much competition from all the individuals that have made a career out of it as well as the exponentially larger group competing to land their career. How many chess team members have a degree in theater arts, film/video production, recording arts or communications? How many of these graduates do you think are able to make a career out of their degrees? It is insanely competitive. My understanding is to, say, get into set design at a venue in New York City, you'd need a Masters degree in set design and a metric shitton of luck.
So does this history of misdeeds actually undermine the points they make now in the Five Walled Gardens piece?

This article says of Fly: "but they don’t scale down to zero".

This isn't entirely true. A little known aspect of Fly Machines is that you can stop them and they will be automatically restarted by the Fly router (with a very short cold-start pause) when the next request arrives. So you can scale them to zero if you do a bit of extra work.

https://fly.io/docs/reference/machines/ hints at this:

> Machines are also the spawning ground for new platform features like wake-on-request (also known as scale-to-zero). You can stop a running machine to save on compute costs. It then may be started automatically when a request arrives at the Fly proxy.

> If you forget your password, they just email you a new one.

And in fact this is exactly what is so terrifying about Google moving more towards this kind of "oh you're in a different place, you must be a bad person" authentication. Email services are the single point of password recovery for almost all the websites you access. Sure, perhaps you'll lose a token; but most folks will learn to carry a couple over time. On the other hand, if Google locks you out because you look "too risky", you might lose access to multiple websites (because a lot of them these days email you security codes and such if you're logging in from a browser without cookies).

They were non-public, at least all the ones that I recall being broken (from memory, but let me know if I’ve missed something important here: URLClassLoader, Base 64 classes (made public under a different name), unsafe: name implies the contract to some extent, but also still available under a flag. Then there’s the whole slew of things like DNS resolvers that override internal classes, but again- weren’t supposed to be for “public” consumption.

Isn't this supposed to be why the App Store has a manual approval process? So Apple can actually check if developers are doing malicious things?

By all means, apply extra scrutiny if an old API is in use. Maybe allow the API only in updates to old apps, and not new ones.

I don't understand why you wrote "no" when I referenced philosophers. Are you saying every idea in your post was an original thought to yourself, and you weren't repeating someone else's ideas without attribution? If so, congratulations, you recreated some interesting ideas, but they shouldn't hard to rebut, as others have already done it. You are free to accept the rebuttal as correct or not correct, but you seem to be frustratingly confusing philosophical arguments with facts.

Let's break down what you wrote:

"Observer selection bias makes our own existence entirely irrelevant to the question of whether there are other intelligences out there."

This is not a "fact" but a philosophical claim about how to account for observer selection bias. Your proposed solution appears to be to shut down all discussion of the topic of what the existence of humanity tells us about the likelihood of alien life.

You also wrote:

"The firing squad example there has other prior information that we lack when it comes to understanding our own existence."

This is not a factual statement but rather a philosophical claim that the entire fields of biology and astronomy contain no relevant "other prior information" as to our understanding of our existence.
