For reference on how quickly the EU moves on these things, USB-C is over 8 years old. It has been ubiquitous for years before this legislation came down. They aren't exactly staying on top of new tech.

Also consider: USB-D is going to have a much harder time reaching the market penetration it needs to be relevant. It creates a chicken and egg problem. No manufacturer will want to upgrade if they are required to use USB-C, and the EU will never update the legislation if USB-D isn't widely used.

The EU has traded some extra convenience now for severely limited innovation later.
You can already buy non-Apple branded lightning cables.

Apart from the cable that came in my iPhone 7's box many years ago (which still works perfectly and, excluding a little dirt, looks like new), all my other lightning cables are off-brand ones that cost much less than $20 apiece. More like 10.

Some of them (Aukey brand) developed a wonky connection after a while, or only work on one side. The others (Amazon Basics) still work perfectly, after spending uncountable hours in the sun and rain powering my phone on my motorbike's handlebars.

All this without any kind of law (I'm in the EU).
I was like 10 years old when I started playing on free shards - was even GM on one that had about 100 players and I remember putting an event together with giants invading a town and I had made a whole mini town out of little model houses in the mountains...

There really was something about it...I used to play with my brothers and we were just the absolute worst griefers but man did we have fun. For us, it was the lawlessness of it all. That you could actually steal from other players and it was a valid part of the game with skills like hiding and stealth to make it easier... My favorite was filling a pack llama with greater explosion potions, "all drop" and then magic missile-ing it in the middle of a crowded bank to kill everyone nearby.
Been through all the silver bullets of the last 30 years, and the UML round-trip craze of the late 90s/early 00s were the worst.

Sequence diagrams, ERDs, state diagrams are all good things.

UML class diagrams were the worst though, mainly because the C++/Java world of inheritance of OO missed the entire point of OO, which was about the messages.

So people would create incredibly complicated diagrams to describe stupidly complicated class hierarchies. One company actually modelled "Money" as a subclass of "Currency" because it was going to have to handle the transition to Euros, but completely ignored the laws and regulations that the EU defined for how that conversion would happen, because it didn't fit their class hierarchy.

Yes diagrams are useful for documenting structure and behavior, but they're not good at being precise enough to describe those things to the point of generating code.

Also, all the CASE tool vendors of the 90s were trying desperately to maintain their relevance, so were bolting UML on the side of their tools, while bolting things like Zachman frameworks on top of them to appeal to the corporate object hierarchy.
Every useful app has persistent data. It sounds like you have a design problem, though.

If you're treating application servers like cattle, then none of them should have persistent data (except caching that's disposable). There are fire-drill days that require deployments, so downtime incurred when updating your application code is unacceptable.

To solve this, put your persistent data on a separate server and store it in a proper database (Postgres, for example). Postgres never needs emergency updates, so the downtime for those (infrequent) updates can be pushed to non-peak hours.
Haha yeah English speaking people also write "per say" instead of "per se", like per say makes any sense.

I'm pretty shocked and thrilled at the same time that someone would waste their talent getting an obsolete CD-ROM drive to work. I mean, there's a plethora of ways to read a CD-ROM still.
Northern NM in general is fantastic. If in Los Alamos I definitely suggest the drive west of town past the Valle Grande, which ends up going through Jemez Canyon and wrapping up to Zia Pueblo NE of Rio Rancho. Bandolier is definitely worth a visit as well. Also, just about any way you can get to Taos from Santa Fe or Los Alamos is highly scenic.

The core of the law is to have the same standard across the entire consumer products. Which basically it is already, only Apple having the power to ask you more money for unnecessary accessories whilst contributing to more e-waste, even if they talk against it - hypocricy detected.
I genuinely believe if Apple thought USB-C was better for the phone they would have implemented it.

For one thing, I suspect it is harder to the make the phone as thin, or as waterproof, with the bigger connector.

Apple also doesn’t have a monopoly, Android has far larger market share globally than they do.

I’m confused what is supposed to happen as new connectors are developed, will the Eu prevent progress on phone connectors or does this law have a sunset?

I’m having trouble seeing a bright side here. If we’d had this law before we would all be stuck using mini-usb.

ZFS receive checks the stream to ensure correctness. The stream can be easily corrupted, due to even a single error, if ZFS send is used without ZFS receive.

The error occurs in transit or on client side, not necessarily on remote.

> If Paul and John weren't in any way unusual

I should add but can no longer edit my reply, that these two are distinctly contrasting and somehow complementary. Notable about McCartney is that with all the success, accomplishment and tragedy in is life, he is still able to be happy. He stands as a positive example of how to be, focusing on the bright side of things, an optimist. In contrast, Lennon wasn't satisfied with anything and always had something negative to say about everything. He never seemed happy unless he was causing conflict. He was a pessimist. They seem to be two sides of the same coin of humanity, a yang and a yin that make a complete and comprehensive picture.

Both sides are important if not essential. If Lennon was instead McCartney's yes-man, McCartney's music would have suffered. Lennon's criticism made McCartney's songs better than they would have been otherwise, and McCartney's positive support allowed Lennon's music to be developed rather than abandoned.
Sure, but when the excess death charts match up extremely well with study after study from epidemiologists where they were assessing covid deaths, it becomes pretty likely that we actually did pretty well counting covid deaths at the time and it was just as bad as scientists were saying during the pandemic. There could have also been an increase in the so called deaths of despair during this time, but we also measure those very reliably so they're easy to parse out.
That's pretty disturbing, and not too far beyond capabilities.

I think the biggest one missing would be that iirc a date going well seems pretty much random in dating service data, despite a fair bit of effort to find correlations.
I've only ever been successful when I'm able to turn what I do for fun into what I do for a living. I don't remember not being interested in computers, programming, games, BBSs and early online services etc. There just was no other way it was going to go. Absent something like that, I'd say just find something that is genuinely fun to you... something that you enjoy being terrible at and keep doing it until you're no longer terrible at it. Hopefully someone will eventually pay you for it. There's a lot of opportunity out there these days for a wide variety of skills to be applied creatively.

The EU market for cables with lightning connectors will be contracting for some reason at that time.
And europlug is compatible with all of them for low powered devices.
The connector can still remain the same while the internal changes. USB-C is just the connector head. Look at USB4 that still uses the USB-C head.

Why has apple bucked this 20 year trend for iPhone charging? Much progress has been made, but never at this place. For a long time, it has looked like they will, but they never did. The EU finally got impatient and decided this mandate was needed to get apple to do this.

Note that the threat of a law like this is what caused many other manufacturers to standardize. If Apple gets a pass, what does that signal to the manufacturers who caved, and to everyone else. I would wager it tells them "the eu makes empty threats". This was the result of Apple saying "bluff" to EU demands, and the EU deciding to follow through.

Apple could have prevented this. The EU sort of had its hands bound when it started the process of pushing everyone to one charging. That process was largely very valuable, for apple specifically it isn't that important. But leaving the process incomplete would send the wrong message.
Hence I think that Apple is at fault for this regrettable law as the EU is.

This is a bad law that is the result of a process that was, on balance, still very valuable. This law is a small element in the minus column, that does not weigh against the many elements in the plus column. The process I refer to is the EU push to get manufactures to use the same charging port.
Ah, the well known "apple effect" strikes again.
Because that wasn't legislation. It was literally the EU asking phone manufacturers to please use micro-B. This is something different.

It might fit the dates, according to you the site was blocked in February and the malware campaign started late last year. It'd require independent verification from the Indian government, but it'd be possible.

I do find it hard to believe India was on top of things enough to catch the malicious version early but stupidly thought the best solution was to block the official version. But it was possible.
I learned UML in university, in 2018/19. Nobody liked it, but it made for a practical way for professors to give us class definitions in a language-agnostic way. All the classes about learning to use UML were otherwise universally hated (because not giving us the class definitions in UML was thus vague) and besides toying with a UML to java converter once, i've never touched it again and i don't think any of my classmates have either.
Somewhat related, I had high hopes for Facebook Dating to be a great product and a dating site/app disruptor. FB has all that data, why not use it to play matchmaker? Unfortunately, like many other Facebook ventures, it's nothing as expected, and is just a "Here's people in your area. Kind of. Sometimes."
> I don't think who we end up with is some 1 in a million cosmic star aligning moment, it's probably more like 1 in 100

I suspect that you're right for most people, but those odds will be better or worse depending on the person and their circumstance. For some people, it probably is closer to 1 in a million, or could even be worse. Some go their entire lives meeting people and never finding one. There's probably not much harm in feeling a bit lucky to have found your person, especially if you suspect at least one of your odds were worse than most.

Ultima Online was an absolutely amazing game and it's pretty telling that despite all the technological advances since, no game whatsoever came as close as Ultima Online to fulfilling the promise of the Computer MMO: a virtual, shared, persistent world.

I wonder if Raspberry Pi isn't walking a thin line between a hobbyist tool and a commercial product. I mean, their support is so good that many commercial companies are using Pi's as the basis for their products, leading to shortages.

This leaves many hobbyists, students and tinkers, the original group the Pi was created for, wanting.

I have very mixed feelings about this.
I thought the same, but I am generation older. It made me think: Does anyone still ask people out for dates in real life? I am sure some, but the ratio must be incredibly low now after online dating became so common. To be clear: I do not think this is worse. For example, with the rise of different types of dating apps, it does seem that women (seeking men) have more agency in their dating life. In my generation (and culture), women almost never asked out men, so they were always waiting for romance to happen to them. Of course, this has changed significantly. Some part is the rise in agency of women (education, earnings power, social changes, etc.), and some part dating apps.
That's some Black Mirror level dystopia there, and totally within the realm of possibility, if it isn't already happening.

> Another significant issue with digital movies and games is the inability to resell the content once you're done with it.

I get your point but I don't see how this could actually work. As a buyer, why would I buy an iTunes movie from someone else and not from iTunes? And as a seller, why would I sell it at a lower price than what it is on iTunes? It's not like it would come with a box that would look used/damaged, or a DVD with scratches on it.

Philip isn't the only one. I followed a very similar path; after a decades-long career in tech, I was completely burned out. It was caused by different issues than Philip, but not incomparable ones: the repetitive nature of the challenges, seeing the same mistakes made repeatedly, never really getting to be "off the clock," etc.

Though I've since gone back into the technology industry, I spent a couple of years happily doing what many in the tech industry might consider "grunt jobs-" physically demanding, low pay, often dirty.

The first thing that I realized is that there is something deeply satisfying about hard manual labor, and the absence of that satisfaction in much of the tech industry is probably the source of some of the industry's most insidious mental health challenges. Many tech workers try to fill in that gap with "extracurriculars" like the gym, running marathons, or weekend camping trips. While all of those things are good and healthy and have their place, I can promise you that they don't fill the same psychological space as a full day of hard manual labor for a paycheck. As such, I make it a point to regularly take my PTO now to spend a day doing labor-intensive side jobs. That might sound crazy, but I can promise that it does wonders for mental health.

The second thing that I've learned is that there's an entire industry built up around trying to ease office workers' mental health issues, and it is both highly profitable and arguably predatory. If one so much as whispers about ditching a gym membership in favor of actually getting paid to do landscaping, or of selling that expensive treadmill in favor of walking dogs for several hours on weekends, be prepared for a veritable army of people to tell you that you're crazy. Surely millions of people can't be wrong, the argument goes. I can promise that you don't need to put a tenth of your paycheck back out into your extracurriculars to get that accomplished, tired-but-rewarded feeling.
I'm all for subsidies, but I don't like SREC. The truth is our economies and populations are still growing, and so is our demand for energy. If we let solar supplement out energy instead of replace it, it's close to useless. Solar needs to be a pressure to reduce our carbon footprint, only then would it be tax dollars well spent.

Unfortunately geolocking isn't new or unique to the pure bits movie format. DVDs were regionally locked as well and even analog media like VHS tapes used color encoding formats that were specific in different regions (NTSC vs PAL vs SECAM).

That said, the situation is quite a bit worse now as the modern DRM is harder to circumvent and geolocking more granular than ever before. But the intent to lock us down was always there from the movie industry, just not the capability until recently.
There is something to say for design and long term (old fashioned) waterfall. Imagine starting building a rocket today to deliver a satellite to a specific location in space tomorrow. The just ship it paradigm has its place making web apps and smart phone app doo-dads, but that's about it.
