This is perfectly elegant. The desktop picture and the photos for it are segmented from the rest of the system in a container (similar to Virtual Locations on Windows) that the app can access instead of letting every random app access all your files at once without you having any control about it.

Regarding caching: generally, it's up to each individual developer (and sometimes even different teams within a company) to do this right. The only place where developers are 'forced' to do it right is '/tmp/' because that is supposed to get nuked every reboot.
Ding ding ding. Production soldering isn't easy, but it's much easier to dial in than rework jobs. It's definitely a desirable goal to not need flux for production work.

Rework... good bloody luck.
Because mathing in one is much easier by orders of magnitude (pun intended) in one system.
Acting in good faith, does matter here.
Takes about 15 years of consistent saving and investing. Then all of a sudden you're wealthy. But as you're saving and investing you still don't have a wild standard of living.

But why won't Apple possibly build a device like comma.ai to basically fit into the car's OBD port and also bring in some self driving abilities and eventually full self driving, just by a completely new device that pairs to the iPhone. They can possibly strong arm autos to make the plug and play real smooth. It's not that far fetched. They might actually be able to do something using mixed reality, given how either pure vision based or lidar based self driving approaches are still not reaching the levels they were supposed to years ago.

This could be under the usual AI umbrella like other companies, but the fact that there is an AI DR to Tim Cook makes me think self driving is big on the agenda. I"m not sure which other AI effort is so valuable to Apple to warrant a SVP.

A "censorship resistant" blockchain versus real-world legal systems sounds like the old "immovable object versus unstoppable force" ponderable.

Except the legal system doesn't have to go after the blockchain per se, they go after the users who still have to have some way to access the value in it.

Maybe, with absolute perfect OpSec, you can use a "censorship resistant blockchain" to finance your ($politically_unpopular_activity), but it's going to be very difficult to get mainstream users involved in a platform that could become increasingly radioactive.

Eventually it becomes a legal death spiral-- as mainstream opportunities leave the network, so does the legal fig leaf for participation.
Apart from Fastmail being amazing for email, they’ve been a great source of customer service to me in several ways. I like to point it out in case people are on the fence and considering a switch. My most appreciated instance was this:

Many years ago I was broke and going through rough financial strains. My yearly contract with Fastmail was up and I asked for a grace period. They did it, no questions asked, for 2 months.

It wasn’t a thing. When I renewed my contract we settled up and it was all good. It’s been quite a while now and I’m still glad to support them.
At my company, we require camera's on, we meet up 4-5 times a year, I can't see this ever happening at my company but definitely have worked at places that don't collaborate enough or take the time to learn your fellow coworkers. If someone gets away with this you have to question how much synergy your team has IMHO
This is my point though. People just complain about whatever syntax they aren't used to using but none of them are inherently more difficult to read.
I stopped joining interviews/working with companies for similar reasons. I do freelance. I suggest you to do the same, until the time when the market gives us an ethical and a fair working space. Unfortunately spamming/impersonating people became a normal thing and people don't even feel ashamed for it. They do it like its their normal job. (Especially Indians, sorryaboutthat but I won't be politically correct for this case. Work on fixing that in your community if you feel offended.)

Also the story sounds like he/she's somebody around your close circle. Maybe you can stop what you're doing and spend some time to filter some people out.
The (Apple) News App on macOS also uses a huge cache. I’ve seen it 5-10GB+. Without even using it regularly. I think to remove it I had to deselect it as an iCloud service in settings.

But couldn't he have kept his perks by, you know, not invading Ukraine in the first place?
The key difference is that Saudi Arabia has not acquired new territory for itself. In the post-colonial era, there are very strong norms against countries annexing parts of each other, with Russia's actions in Ukraine being pretty much the first to happen since the 60s. If the Saudis had initiated the war in Yemen by pointing to some old border dispute and directly annexing the port of Aden, people would be much more angry with them.

For comparison, consider Iraq's attempt to annex Kuwait in the 90s. The world absolutely considered it a five-alarm fire, with the West immediately planning for war and even China and the Soviet Union authorizing a retaliatory blockade. Most people genuinely and strongly feel that the return of territorial conquest as a common practice would be a disaster for the world.
Currying is partial application for free on all function parameters in the order they were declared. It makes partial application no-hassle if you are supplying successive arguments in each application.
I concur, that struck me as quite odd.
That's ridiculous. 640x480 used to be the norm for Windows, and now monitors with 4.5x that vertical resolution are common.

Instead you should be complaining about the trend of apps spacing everything out with excessive amounts of padding.
Obviously there is no way to know for sure, but I have a very hard time believing Russia is behind it. Russia controls the flow of gas, they can simply turn it off whenever they wish - they have no need to blow up their own pipeline. Russia has spent many years and many billions of dollars constructing these pipelines. They want the power to use their control over the supply of natural gas as leverage and negotiation power over EU countries. Destroying this pipeline removes this leverage and lessens the capability of Russia to pressure the EU with gas restrictions. On the other hand, NATO/US officials have been openly stating their opposition to the Nordstream pipeline even before the recent invasion of Ukraine. It is entirely consistent with the desires of NATO/US officials who seek to drive a wedge between Europe and Russia to destroy the pipeline and eliminate any chance of some sort of negotiated settlement between Germany and Russia as the cold of winter sets in.

Unfortunately, barring the emergence of a whistleblower, we will likely never know the truth, as whoever is responsible for this bombing will never openly admit it. Even more unfortunately, mindless partisans will reflexively point their finger at whoever their chosen propaganda outlets claim (without any evidence whatsoever) is responsible for this bombing, and use those accusations to further escalate hostilities.

If you bump your budget a little, you will start to find digital pianos that are designed to better emulate grand piano actions. And further on, starting around $3500 and above, you start to find longer key sticks and counterweights and such that do a much better job at it.
Looking at this beyond Russia and Ukraine, the Apple store has too much gatekeeping power. I have read so many horror stories even here of devs having apps pulled or having to make seemingly arbitrary changes.
All the articles at the time just mentioned that it was a video file. For example https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/jan/21/amazon-bo...

Both Apple and Google have tried to isolate media codecs more since, but apparently not enough.
Oh wow, I didn't know that! Kudos to Apple there.
Oh, thanks, I didn't realize. Who was managing Tandy at the time? Did he know what a for loop was?
Do you consider this as just a normal day for an Apple used? Imagine a someone who is against war, who buys an iphone for chatting with his friends, and get his favourite social network deleted because of geopolitics.
Anecdotal. But the welding instructor at my community college on Van Isle was more than happy to teach a quick weekend to intro welding at our maker space. Was even nice enough to not charge!

All of these are possibilities to some degree or another, except I think "no one". It doesn't seem plausible that multiple simultaneous explosions would sever this extremely durable pipeline.

I get it is not widely available enough to warrant inclusion in this list but if you get the opportunity to bake with it don’t miss the opportunity.
that the app can access instead of letting every random app access all your files at once without you having any control about it.

That has nothing at all to do with this idiocy of using a different name every time, and not even thinking that it could be a problem to automatically create effectively "orphaned" files that no one would know about until it's too late.
Every article I've ever read from that publication seems intent on making me feel "imposter syndrome," but somehow never succeeds.

Good for them though!
Check the reply comments of any big crypto Twitter account. Check the comments of ELon's own Twitter account. No shortage of obvious scams by bots or hijacked accounts. The problem seems to be worse than twitter let on. Other stuff is obviously bot-generated even if not spam, comments like "very nice project" that are out of context and by an account with a generic girl avatar.

“I hate my fans, too. I hate being famous. I hate my job,” Bourdain wrote to his estranged wife Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, with whom he remained a close confidant even after their separation in 2016.

This one looks pretty solid. There are loads of them. The demos I’ve seen all showcase live feedback.

https://superguigui.github.io/simple-color-picker/

Compare to the best I can find for WPF: https://github.com/dsafa/wpf-color-picker - no live feedback, dialog only, no documented support for modern .NET. There are some commercial controls available from syncfusion and the like if you want to pay for such things.

Compare to color dialog in WinForms: https://github.com/Kinnara/ModernWpf/issues/72

WinUI has a decent color picker, but there are other trade offs going with WinUI that make it inferior to the web environment (e.g. broken rendering of SVG/paths).

I was so happy to discover this. Went and tried it on Firefox on iPhone... Nope. Apparently it works on all other browsers on iPhone. Just not Firefox. Sigh. I found that the bug report for doing javascript bookmarks was already filed years ago, and Mozilla just ignores it. Mozilla has a bizarre decision making structure.
In the end, the "step" (as a metaphor for production) comes from those who produce more to those who produce less, whether due to differences in ability, desire, or circumstance. It's redistribution. And it's entirely fair for you to argue that such redistribution is just, fair, or beneficial for society as a whole, but someone had to work for that step.
I'm getting a taste for that since I got into 3D printing. Just type in some math formulas in a text editor, press a few more buttons, and all of a sudden I get a pivot-fence micro adjustable router table for my Dremel tool. Or I get a doo-hickey that holds a nut and washer, and can screw under my full sized router table to hold the nut in place so I can screw in various pivot-posts or other 3D-printed attachments on the top side. Or make a custom connector for something on my bicycle. Essentially I can fabricate products that just aren't purchasable.

But I really wish I had machine shop skills, as there is so much more you can do with a lathe, stamper, roller, and other equipment with basic input materials.

If it was marked as purgeable, since the 2019 it should have been purged. Instead the folder is still here and keeps growing.
An example I'll use is browsing by hashtag is no longer possible unless you are using the app (previously, it was possible to browse via browser).

Same here. I think it's to stop spam. Very annoying though.
When I was in gradschool, this happened to me all the time. I had the university ask for a couple hundred dollars back probably 6 times in 5 years. Whoever ran their payroll must have been woefully incompetent.

> Esperanto also does away with a lot of redundancies, like grammatical gender, or arbitrary groups of verbs with distinct conjugation schemes. On its surface that's a good thing. It makes it easier to memorise the rules. However, it also makes the language more fragile as a medium of communication, or less noise resistant.

My L1 has no grammatical gender and word order is free and we still can parse our sentences fine without those checksums and certainly is not "fragile". To my brain grammatical gender is noise.
My desktop background picture cache is 0GB. Perhaps I don't switch enough (mostly between one of the built-in ones or a solid color).

The most annoying caches are the ones generated by IDEs, they generally mix application-cache, plugin-cache and AST-cache all in one big cache so you don't really know if there is some huge Grails cache in there, if it's an old IDE version or if it's simple a runtime/electron/dotnet/java cache that got embedded with the rest. They are generally also either not versioned at all so not even the app would know what to nuke, and when they are versioned the old cache isn't getting wiped anymore because only the old version of the app would do that.

A OS-enforced cache would help, but then people would complain that they don't feel "in control"... (spoiler: unless you are an OS developer, it is highly unlikely that you ever really were in control, at most you might have had some feelings of control, or a measure of control that isn't realistic)
Just last week Putin was saying "we want to keep selling gas", like in quite a desperate tone, "just lift the sanctions on NS2, we want to keep seeling gas." Watch his press conference at the SCO summit it's 10-15 mis long.

Now is the time to use his bargaining chip when Germany will be desperate, why will someone make their own position weaker at the time when they can extract the most leverage, that too for no reason - destroy their own property and that too go all the way up to an area where NATO was doing naval exercises a few months ago and risk confrontation with NATO..

> Pipes of both Nordstream 1 and 2 blew up simultaneously. It seems pretty immediately obvious that it was done intentionally by someone.

Playing devil's advocate: it could be that one of them blew up first, and the other blew up in a sympathetic explosion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sympathetic_detonation). Or it could be that the pressure wave from the first one blowing up weakened the second one, leading to a catastrophic failure of the later. That would allow for both blowing up without requiring an intentional act.

(Of course, you can mix and match the theories: for instance, "the intention was to sabotage only one of the pipes, but a miscalculation led to the other one also being affected and failing catastrophically" would be yet another theory.)
TCS's revenue has been growing for the last 10-20 years so they must be doing something right.
One thing that is different regarding cars is that car industry executives have the benefit of hindsight here. Apple was not a trillion dollar business in 2007, in 2022 everyone pays attention.

Apple's business model is clear; they would hoover up any profits that might arise via new in car software business models. Apple's success in reducing cellular carriers to dumb pipes will be the cautionary tale every car CEO in the world is familiar with.
I think we both know how many legal and political levers can be brought to bear by large government institutions when they wish. This is a priority and the NIMBYs in this case are being absurd. In the 1950s Santa Cruz actively campaigned to have the campus there with widespread support from residents. They signed up for it and that huge chunk of land was granted with the idea of having plenty of space to have all the students on campus, and for future growth. The residents were repaid by the skyrocketing values of their homes. The current residents either grew up with that knowledge, or chose to move there despite it. The city can't just decide 60 years into its existence that they've changed their minds and want to limit the university's growth. That's what the plan was from the beginning.

Anyways, when the UC finally decides it has to be done, Santa Cruz will have little power to stop them short of an outright legal war. Like I said, they simply don't want to.

> An experienced diver can in theory manage it himself.

This is incorrect for a different reason and it has nothing to do with capability, but instead, deniability.

Anyone could do it. But deniability and covertness is different.

Deniability for this requires covert operators with access to a top notch with great submarine with excellent acoustics (really lackthereof) for an underwater insertion and recovery.

Ding Ding Ding.

Explosives are widely used in mining, but I don't know if anybody uses them for undersea mining. Drones seem like they would be a good way to do undersea mining: greatly reduce the death toll, avoid all the decompression sickness, and maybe use less energy?
They were not at all forthcoming. In the original paper they stated:
" The background signal, determined from a
non-superconducting C–S–H sample at 108 GPa, has been subtracted from the
data."
Then after questions were raised, they published https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.11883v1, where they say:
"We note here that we did not use the measured voltage values of 108
GPa as the background."
If the second statement is true then, at best, the first statement is highly misleading. Furthermore, they have not been at all forthcoming about how exactly that background subtraction was performed - despite repeated requests for clarification. I challenge anyone to understand the background subtraction methodology that they describe in the second paragraph of page 2 in the article linked above.

In my mind, what is at question here is not only the validity of the background subtraction, but the validity of the raw data itself. If the raw data is valid, then why are they unable to show how to go from raw data to published data?
Yep - especially those who are experts at jig making. Turns a multi hour project into a simple repeatable one.
Because Toyota makes reliable cars. As I noted above, I would never buy a car that is not a Toyota. If you want to be flashy, you get a BMW, but it you want to fight a war in the Middle East you get a Toyota Land Cruiser. Don't dismiss the reliability of Toyotas -- they really have it figured out.
