There was a book I read one time, early in my journey, called "Hardcore Java" It's promise was to take you from beginner java engineer to an advanced one. It was written by someone who "knew" the craft and was ready to pass on their anointed knowledge.

The author of the book had just recently made the progression to what they considered advanced, so the book was chock full of beginner-cum-expert advice like this article.

And it was all wrong. The errata for the book is more pages than the book itself. It had the basics of java incredibly wrong, most of the code samples in the book were not compilable, it was a mess.

This article strikes me the same way. Someone who has a little more knowledge than a beginner, but hasn't yet learned how little they know. So they want to show off their new knowledge with gatekeeping "lessons"

The difference between junior and senior isn't just about going from "easy way" -> "best way" It's about understanding when you can get away with the easy way, when the best way is too hard for a situation, or the situation isn't called for. It doesn't fit nicely into X does Y and A does B. Design/Engineering isn't black and white.
Honestly yeah, the standardisation part is fantastic but I absolutely hate that the industry at large settled on USB-C ports that are so pathetically easy to break it's hilarious. Micro-USB and Mini-USB were both far more robust.

And also the part where there are a billion specs for the same cable so you never know what you're dealing with. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the bluetooth team came up with the standards...
But isn’t the Bohm model that all particles are weakly correlated? — eg, there’s some kind of “whole universe” quasi-particle from the inflationary period?

The exact alternative to non-determinism is super-macro quasiparticles/correlations. Which this seems to assume away.
Thank you. I had read this in what I thought was a legit media outlet. Unfortunately it’s too late to edit or delete the post.
Apple has actively participated in the USB-IF almost from its inception.

The answer to your conundrum is thus quite simple: Apple must now work with the standards it has helped create.
Not really, no. I don't believe McCartney's best songs would have been as good as they are without Lennon's pessimistic criticism. Otherwise, McCartney may have become like Pygmalion falling in love with his sculpture, Galatea. Unfortunately in this metaphor, Lennon is Venus who solves Pygmalion's problem that the sculpture was not a real person. But I hope the point is made, which is that only through dissent does anything progress to excellence.
AirPods use Lightning cables for charging, not USB-C. (Potentially your sentence could be read the other way though so not sure if you intended to say that.)
Wow I Can't Believe My Android Phone Still Uses Micro-USB Since That Was Forced By Law!!!

Please think about what you're saying for a moment
It's just so much easier to do it using an app. You are pretty much guaranteed that people you match with are also looking for something similar or at least open to the idea. No guessing or attending places for sole reason of hunting down a partner, which is quite creepy anyways. It's definitely possible to find some without an app, but not everyone is willing to just wait for that magical moment of meeting the right person at the right time.
> Whereas cables can be made by anyone competent.

Like the myriad businesses already making lightning cables?
It became acceptable along with containers, so that the very OS the script is working on, is already isolated and disposable. You also mentioned dozens of packaging solutions. Which package manager should a single developer target first? Which package manager offers safety assurances enough that a customer wouldn't need to "personally verify each line" of the package manager's script?
I do agree that EV's will eventually be much cheaper than ICE vehicles, since they're mechanically much simpler (they're basically a battery with an electric motors and 4 wheels). The devil is basically in the battery chemistry, which is extremely difficult to improve on.

Ignore all the "revolutionary" new batteries you hear about almost every week. None of them are heading for production for the same reasons: their capacity or durability are much lower than current Li-Ion batteries.
The Lightning connector has 8 pins: 2 for power, 2 for ID/control, and 4 for 2 differential lanes of anything. Those 2 differential lines are used for all data transfer, and, IIRC, are bidirectional. So, in theory, the Lightning connector could carry USB 3.0's differential RX/TX lanes no problem.

My guess as to why Apple hasn't implemented that is a lack of demand. Syncing/backup is expected to be handled on the device now, and USB 2.0 gives enough bandwidth for the majority of the other cases. And on iPads where more bandwidth might be required (eg. external data storage), they already have USB-C connectors supporting the higher speeds.
You can't really compare a public health & safety issue with piracy.

Firearms are not freedom of speech. Guns kill. Just like vehicles kill and are therefore subject to regulation (or outright prohibition in many spaces) above individual freedom.
AirDrop is dead simple device to device adhoc wifi. If you're close enough to plug it in, you're close enough to have line of sight.
That's the subtle purpose of the BB. The modern world is so ridiculous, it's impossible to tell satire from reality.

How is this any different than memes? Memes are created by lots of people and spread around the internet, true or false.

Don't trust things you read on the internet, how hard is that?
VST plug-ins have a pretty robust secondary marketplace. See kvraudio.com
When the law enforces a standard it is very likely to stick around even if better alternatives exist.

This conclusion hits home for me, ringing true with very different sorts of fields.

> First and foremost, group dynamics can develop in such a way that reasonable optimism turns into blind optimism and expressing doubts becomes a taboo. When that happens, it is easy for the group to drift towards extreme positions that guarantee the group's failure. The UML standardisation community became ever more invested in UML 2's success: at first, doubting views were dismissed as referencing trivial problems; eventually such views stopped being expressed at all. The community only talked about success, even when there was significant evidence that failure was the most likely outcome [11]. Similarly, QVT was the wrong idea at the wrong time, but people were so desperate for success that they chose to ignore fundamental problems.
Can you tell me which standard does work with the switch? I have a few usb-c cables but only a few can charge it, while I can charge my iPad with every cable that I own, it a bit sad that ubs-c is a lie, I'd hope that at least a few things were not optional with usb-c standard, and also that it didn't have too much optional stuff that makes harder and harder to buy a cable, it the same with HDMI, that's why display port feels superior IMHO, less optional features.
Music is typically DRM-free so in that case you have a point. Movie “downloads” are typically DRM’d and only downloadable within the confines of an app, and you don’t get to take the files with you if e.g. you switch devices.
NXP has been doing solid work with ARM for almost 20 years now. Their LPC line, which they had before the Moto/Freescale acquisition, is a solid workhorse set of SoCs. I've done many projects with the LPC17xx (Cortex-M3) family and they all come out pretty great.

And I believe you're right about the community support. The RPi groups have been run by actual owners and enthusiasts, whereas the factory support forums in my experience have been minimally maintained with almost no interaction from anyone at the actual companies.
> If you wanna make that argument, wouldn’t it be better to force companies to opt you out of getting chargers and cables unless you explicitly ask for them when you make the purchase?

That is a natural step forward after the cables are unified. Even today, 80% of the electronic devices I'm buying are coming without a charger and this is all due to the fact that the market stabilized to USB charging (mini and now USB-C).

I still remember we used to have drawers full of old phone chargers...
That’s mostly just poor game design as players don’t worry about standing in fire when leveling up. MMO’s tend to add such arbitrary new gameplay mechanics in raids and nowhere else. Then everyone gets annoyed because players can only really practice in raids.

That is feature of DRM and has nothing to do with digital movies. If you bought DRM locked product that you are not really an owner. You can play video file anywhere in the world and any time.

Second issue is if you bought it trough a service and keept it there, then you definitely not the owner...
Top Android Studio Tips and Tricks for Faster Development
But sometimes, you can feel that you need to speed up this development process even more, or you may require productivity techniques to boost development speed. Also, Android Studio has some functions you probably do not know.

So, I am sharing the top 10 Android Studio Tips and Tricks (probably can also help in the appraisals).
This is the "you will own nothing" part I was telling people about for years. They still love their Steamy pile of games.

> than buying the movie

it's "then". probably. :)
The only problem with this is that with physical media, there's an intrinsic amount of "friction" that prevents gaming the system. It's not convenient to, for example, have five people buy and share one set of DVDs. The hassle of moving the disc around (which gets dramatically worse with distance) incentivizes people to buy their own copy. But digital buying and selling would make it rather easy for one person to "sell" their movie to a friend for next-to-nothing and then "buy" it back when they want to use it. And we can be a thousand miles away with no problem.

There are ways to correct this, such as imposing reasonable floors on the sale price, or not permitting the sale of a title for something like 30 days after a transaction.

I'm just saying that these things would need to be factored into any proper solution, ideally via legislation.

Organizing Kafka Events by Partitioning
I personally already have a number of USB-C cables that had their connectors detach at one point or another. They are mostly braided, rather thick, 100W-rated PD cables, but they generally suck and are quick to break (I keep a couple at my desk, a couple in my car, a couple stored away for travel, and a couple bedside — it's great they can charge both my laptop and my phone).

Connectors in my devices also look a bit fragile.

I am all for sharing connectors and standardization in this space (and I check if a device has an USB-C port before I consider it), but I surely hope this does not stop improvements to the charging port which are highly needed!
In uni I remember one of my professors telling us that the time gap between the awarding of the Nobel prize and the discovery for which it is awarded keeps getting longer (he was talking specifically about physics). I remember he also lamented George Gamow never getting a Nobel prize. (edit: grammar)
I have started a modest Blu-Ray/4k Blu-Ray collection. For me, it is by far the best movie experience I've had with any format. It takes maybe 90 vs 20 seconds to get the movie playing, but in return I get noticeably better quality. 4k Blu-Rays' bitrates are around 128 Mb/s. For comparison, Netflix tops out around 17 Mb/s. It really does look and sound noticeably better if you have the TV and surround setup to take advantage of it. Sometimes WAY better.

Also, for most physical movies, they had a "+ digital" code included that lets you redeem a digital copy of the movie too. So I can stream most of them on my laptop anyway if I'm away from home or something.

Physical media for movies is super underrated, at least for the situation in my country. It's often cheaper than "buying" the digital version! I can even go to my local used bookstore/Goodwill and find tons of Blu-Rays for cut rate prices. And then I own it forever, and it's 100% legal.
>> How do you find 1 thing you are really good at and stick with it?

Maybe if you stick with one thing you'll become really good at it. Most (maybe all) people aren't inherently really good at anything.
In EU I think this is no issue. All the cheapo usb pd cables I have bought off the German Amazon recently have been quite good and compliant.
>if anyone is in violation of the licenses you’re referencing it’s the people that loaded the code into GitHub.

MS can't use this excuse, if some dude uploads Windows code or say GTA6 code on GitHub I can't just use it and point you to the GitHub repo and ask you to figure it out with that person.

MS should either

1 tell you that the code is BSD,GPL, MIT depending on what is derived from

2 tell you that is not derived but some new code, but at the same time put his fat ass on the line and also put proprietary code in the mix, like their code and private code on GitHub since they claim the output is not derived from the input.

But they did it half ways, they did not had the courage for 2 and they did not want to respect the MIT,GPL either
> using my existing cables

This won't apply retroactively, new iphones after X date will have to be shipped with USB-C
minix also needs a mention here. Part of Intel Management Engine and close ties to linux childhood.
One key difference is that many-worlds is an interpretation of quantum theory, whereas super-determinism refers to a class of physical theories with no known plausible examples.
Hi! While the project does look very interesting, i'm kind of put off by the code.
While it is pretty organized and neat, I can see that all of the services offered are hard-coded. Like the 330 lines long if-else chain in apps/api/src/lib/services/common.ts.

This way every time you need to set add a new service to coolify there's the need to ship a new version.

Why did you choose to go this way rather than a more generalized concept of a service?
Wouldn't having a generic service architecture be more maintainable and ( imo ) more importantly add the capability to have a dynamic, global and customizable 'app store' of sort?
You’re attempting to overdramatize by appropriating the term ‘shadowban’. It does not mean what you pretend it to mean and it doesn’t help you make your case, it just makes you look like you’re overselling.
I’ve wanted detailed tracking for years. Something that logged my position every five seconds or something. I wanted this to be something that other people did too.

Then we can decide to share histories and see when we ever overlapped or were near each other. For instance - I became close friends with someone this summer but it turns out we were both at the same events across the USA about 8 years ago. It made me wonder where else we had both been and hadn’t really spoken to each other.

I’ve also wanted this to be a live feature as well where you can opt in to share your location and be like, “hey, Jim is just a block away. What a coincidence! Jim is usually 1500 miles from you.” As a way to run into friends you haven’t seen in a while.

Another instance is that I had lost touch with a friend from years back. We had both lived in Seattle for years. I eventually moved to SF and was at an event. I stepped outside a few times to get air and on one of the times I did - I saw this old friend walk by on the street (it’s almost midnight - he was going to go home to sleep with someone). I call out his name and he’s in shock and awe. We decide to hang out for 30 minutes and decided that this was the sign we needed to reconnect.

That happened about 5 years ago and we’ve been very close ever since.

Sometimes I feel like these kinds of things would be cool to have. Or to do a prospectus and see a year ago - “oh interesting - that guy I gave a ride to five years ago was at the same restaurant as me… Huh - I wonder why we didn’t see each other?” The world is much smaller than we realize. I’ve run into people in small rural parking lots of grocery stores in random countries 8,000 miles away from where we both had known each other without any coordination. If I had been even 10s later in my actions - I would’ve never seen them sometimes.

I have a lot of stories like this. Timing is everything!!
You can say the same thing about wall sockets. At some point you have to make a choice.

And you can always add another type of plug next to the existing one. <- this answers your question
Some films put it in the opening titles. As for videogames — GTA V, for example, has "The content of this videogame is purely fictional, is not intended to represent or depict any actual event, person, or entity, and any such similarities are purely coincidental. The makers and publishers of this videogame do not in any way endorse, condone, or encourage engaging in any conduct depicted in this videogame" disclaimer on its second loading screen, right after the initial splash screen with Rockstar's logo.

Notice especially the second sentence about game makers not endorsing whatever behaviour is depicted in the game. The first sentence, by the way, is patently false because GTA Online features a character "Dr. Dre", voiced by Dr. Dre — no way it was "purely coincidental".
There's no promos in maintaining the dystopian nightmare program so it will be replaced by new dystopian nightmare programs that do the same thing but worse every 2-3 years. Eventually, enough dystopian nightmare programs will be running in parallel that they will actually create a utopia due to unexpected interactions between the dystopian nightmare programs.
This I think is one of the places where smaller technical differences make things legitimately different. I'm not coming from the side of "it shouldn't be allowed" or "it must absolutely be allowed like physical goods".

Second hand items are often

* Lower quality, as they've been used
* Lack consumer protections

The first just doesn't apply to digital goods and the second is much more minor (not expecting technical faults to become apparent after a while owning a digital item).

Selling physical goods also has a reasonable time commitment to it, you have to physically move things - there's friction. Digital goods could be sold between regular people near instantaneously. Buying a DVD and selling it after watching is do-able but still some work. Buying a film second hand the moment I press play and selling it on a market straight away after I stop watching seems trivial. I know this is ~rental, but theoretically users only need to buy in total enough copies for the concurrent number of watchers. A big enough market and this could impact how things are released, a "watch anytime" vs a "you really need to be up to date (e.g. sports)" would make a vast difference in total required copies floating around.

The resale value impacts the price you can sell at too. If a customer knows they can easily sell an item for 80% of what they bought it for, they're likely to be willing to pay more for it. However the customer also takes on more risk.

It feels like such a small change, but I can see it making a very large difference.
> No one should be running that without personally verifying each line.

Do you also verify each line of software you install? If you trust the author of certain software, why do you mistrust their install script?
God forbid you'd ever want to transfer to a non-Apple device amirite? Most of the people that I know that use iPhones don't have Macs. And those with Macs don't have iPhones lol.
> hacking into game jars, not because it was supported in any way, it only got support later.

decompiling java is much easier than decompiling C++ output. Adding code to such a decompiled source is much easier and safer, and thus much more accessible.

if minecraft had been in C++, i seriously doubt the initial mods from hacking it would've been possible.

You've missed my point, which was that USB connectors on phones have changed over the years and the EU is locking devices into C.
I mean depends. Sure, some people are hard on cables but I'm still using the original that came with my 2017 iPad I'm writing this on.

TLDR President Reagan, as a younger man, ruined the lives of people who's crime was that he suspected they once believe something different from him (often when they were young and those different ideas were fashionable).

And because he knew what he was doing was wrong, he did it in secret.
The law just makes it so that a single industry standard must be followed. Changing this standard is fairly easy, it just requires the European Commission to amend it. This means that if there's a better connector, USB-IF (being made up out of most of the people actually designing the hardware using it) can just release a new standard and get it approved.

Edit: It's actually the Commission, not parliament that's allowed to change standards.
They already do that in Europe, IIRC my iPhone came with just a lightning to USB-C cable and no charger.
I have issues with lisp because it’s really different. I could never grok it. I don’t go around swearing off it and calling it names like people do with bash. :)
> Operating Systems: Design and Implementation by Andrew Tanenbaum

I had a student edition of that book, back in the late 1980s. It had a full listing of the Minix source code as an appendix: fascinating to be able to sit in a comfortable chair and read a large body of code. I referred to it a lot when i was learning C. I'm guessing Minix has got bigger since then though.
It also mandates that manufacturers must make "do you want a charger" optional in purchases of electronic devices, which is where waste reduction comes in. That only works because the chargers are all interoperable, and hopefully leads to a world where far fewer device chargers & cables are produced and distributed unnecessarily.

The lightning connector supports USB3 and it is implemented on some models of iPad Pro when used with the Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter:

The numbers I could find are 0.24 firearm-related deaths/100K population for the UK vs 10.95/100K for the US. (https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-death...)

By this metric, the US is better off that much of South and Central America. I bet if the stats were normalized by deaths/100K guns instead the US would look pretty good. (~17% drop for US, as we have more guns than people, but every other country has significant increases)
