Apple Watch was probably the largest launch since Jobs died, and now it’s the dominant smart watch. Apple Silicon breathed new life into the mac lineup. AirPods have become the standard bluetooth earbuds. I think apple has been doing great with new products recently (after struggling in the late 2010s, as shown by their extreme emphasis on services instead of products then) and I hope they keep that momentum instead of compromising on ads.
GUI development with Rust and GTK 4
I've been a big Apple fan over the years. They continue to grow more tarnished for me.

But my big problem is... where do I go? It's not like Android phones are better--I write native apps on both, I have 9 Android phones sitting to the left of me right now, and 6 iDevices to my right--they're worse to use. They're a night mare to code for compared to iOS.

I write Linux, Windows, and Mac code from post Ives 16"MBP. The OS is as good as any Linux I use (it's worse in some ways, but better than others). The hardware is impressive. I have tried the Linux on Windows stuff, Windows is the worst.

It's not like it was 20 years ago, when MacOSX was in its infancy, and Linux was awesome, and you could reinstall Sawfish WM on Linux running on the Windows laptop the company gave you. Apple hardware/software has its warts, but overall it's pretty good stuff all things averaged. So I'd love to escape their growingly evil ecosystem of services, but it's not clear what the development rig better and more free/enabling than this would be.
Yes I believed to be more specific, you've changed that belief with your facts. Thanks.

But I still do believe this practice goes on here in Sweden where small businesses are offering services that act as man in the middle between the consumer and the card issuer. And therefore they're able to harvest your transaction data, which is gold.
I'm undoubtedly a senior or something like that, and I agree with your choices. And that the items in the article seem shallow.

Regarding file size, I've seen people insist on hundreds of tiny files to satisfy their interpretation of the SRP - single responsibility principle - to the extent a codebase is more difficult to read because half of the files are almost entirely boilerplate, pointing to boilerplate in other files. It makes some people happy, but doesn't always make a better codebase to work with. (Though for some things like, say, Glibc, that approach to systematic file layout is quite helpful, even when some files have only one non-comment line.)

I've also found when I see someone talking about uncomfortably small or large files, it's a mistake to presume what they have in mind. For some people, a 500 line source file is an enormous monstrosity that should never have existed. For others, 2000 lines (in the same language as previous) is a single good day's work containing one medium-size algorithm.

I also agree with you about about PR sizes, because I hold the view that the optimal unit of review (ie PR that makes sense) is larger than the optimal size of a well-explained logical commit. Although, the GitHub-encouraged culture of squash-merges conflicts with right-sized PRs and informative commits, so it's understandable there is conflict in that area. I'm not a fan of the GitHub workflow that many have been trained by exposure to presume must be good practice. GitHub didn't design that workflow for optimal software engineering, nor have they ever really tried to improve it. They designed it to make it easier for newbies and more casual participants to join in "social coding".

Experience tells me that there are many who would disagree with your views and mine, though. Ironically, the most dogmatic people are sometimes those who haven't been at it for as long and think they know best. (Though all ages are definitely represented in the dogmatic pile). Perhaps it's the author of the article who is the newbie?!
Monopolies are optimally efficient across the economy, as long as the monopolist doesn't get too greedy. Competition is wasteful -- competition is why the deadweigh loss ad industry exists!
> They aren't just scamming the investors, they are scamming the drivers.

I agree. And this is one of the reasons that their path to profitability is impossible. Since they often cite their large customer and driver acquisition campaigns as the thing they can cut to start taking profits when they have scaled enough.

The truth is that they can't stop that spending, they need a constant stream of new drivers (suckers) to keep things going. If they stop the spend, the drivers go away.

Hi there! This is a totally off-topic comment, but since there is no way in HN to send private messages, I though I might as well reply to your most recent comment. I have been enjoying your comments about being a craftsman and working in a niche, and I think I am heading in the same direction. I could use some advice and would love to ask you a few questions, if you don't mind (email is in my profile).

Celebrating the BBC Pips: Greenwich Time Signal (2018)
Most problems are already solved, but unfortunately, in this context "solved" does not mean "you do not have to worry about it anymore".

Instead it means "here are three or five industry-standard solutions, each of them working differently, each of them bringing different problems, you need to study how to use them, but some of the important things you will only learn from experience; by the way, five years later most of this will be obsolete".

The application you are making is built on ten or twenty "solutions" of this kind.

Why do you feel that the site's cut could be as low as 10%? It's very expensive to host and serve high-quality video, and you've not described anything that would lower the site's costs relative to something like YouTube (which I don't believe is stunningly profitable).

I think it adheres somewhat/partially to skin. When the assistant slides down the first shoulder strap in the video, there seems to be some resistance, as if the material was gently stuck to the skin and then lightly released/pulled away. That seems consistent with the Fabrican webpage, which says that the fibres "adhere to each other and to the surface sprayed". I imagine that there's a portion of the video not shown where the assistant gently tugs other parts of the fabric away from the skin.

That’s a good observation, but Google really doesn’t control things the same way Apple does since they aren’t directly distributing Android for the most part. It would be hard to pull off that kind of synchronization with the handset ecosystem.
I'd be interested in hearing your take because you are actively involved in this field. From my perspective outside of it, it seems that it's going to be an absolute bloodbath in terms of opportunities for people to actually live as artists (excluding those who work in mediums that can't be represented on a 2D screen).
I mow weekly and we have tons of insects, rabbits, and frogs. So many so it's a problem. I don't think they are very correlated.
Google also has never sold customer data. Amazon has been in level trouble several times for stealing customer (product seller) data.
There is a practical problem: AWS has a very restrictive policy for deleting sub-accounts.

From: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/organizations/latest/APIReferenc...

"You can only close 10% of active member accounts within a rolling 30 day period. This quota is not bound by a calendar month, but starts when you close an account. Within 30 days of that initial account closure, you can't exceed the 10% account closure limit."

I have create so many accounts that when I had to erase them I was stuck in this stupid limit.
Sorry, sarcasm
I wish someone would make a tablet w/ a transflective display to replace my Fujitsu Stylistic ST-4110 --- currently rocking a Samsung Galaxy Book 12, but I've had to roll back to Windows build 1703 twice now, and it's simply not usable in bright, direct sunlight.

Pre-ordered a Kindle Scribe, so I'll have 3 devices w/ Wacom styluses (also a Galaxy Note 10+ and the afore-mentioned Galaxy Book 12), one of which will work in direct sunlight.

Surprised that there wasn't any mention of the availability of maps for the Kindle Scribe.

While I'd like to see nifty features such as:

- use as a second display
- use as a graphics tablet (while being used as a second display)

so long as it works as:

- an ebook reader
- one can take notes
- one can write out documents and transfer them (and notes) to a desktop (w/ or w/o handwriting recognition, hopefully w/)

I should be fine.

That said, I'd like to see Nebo.app or some equivalent for the Kindle Scribe.
How do you even start doing this? I have poor self control and usually start projects/tasks right as the deadline approaches. I wish I was that productive all the time...
Nothing about my comment indicated any sort of comparison to any other country.
Right if the above comment is trying to simplify it as both of them following the pattern of "'20 Boom, '22 bust", it's not true.

They did both start declining at the same time about 9 months before the overall market did, in April 2021 instead of Jan 2022. But from IPO up until that decline started, Lyft was already down 20% whereas Uber was up 50%. Then this decline has been much worse for Lyft as well, down 80% from April 2021 whereas Uber is down 55%.

That's a pretty big difference between the two companies.

I have this unhealthy aversion to javascript. so when I make a web application it is in a very late 90's style. For my latest thing, I needed to select points on an image and did I do the sane thing and write two lines of javascript and be done with it, of course not, I went with server side image maps. in 2022. sigh, no, I don't know what is wrong with me either.

> I remember Tim Cook said they are not in the Ads Business. Unfortunately I am too busy, Apple's PR has worked hard to delete those tracks of what Tim Cook said, or Google's search engine is longer showing what I am looking for.

Every few years someone produces a movie in which the antagonist throws away an insult as they're walking toward the parking lot and I fully expect them to walk in front of a bus.

I'm half convinced that directors do this on purpose, as a fake-out homage to Mean Girls.
If you want an additional layer of humor, read The Fish that Ate the Whale. I believe there is still a 'United Fruit' building somewhere in New Orleans.
Like the sibling comment, I feel like we are talking about different things. You're talking about right and wrong paths and careers.

I'm talking about choices like kids, prioritizing salary over flexibility etc. I am not arguing that people in tech are there purely based on merit and no luck.

I am saying people that are already in tech make choices that give them more or less flexibility. Chasing a job at FAANG to get a massive salary and then using the salary to get an expensive car and massive mortgage is the wrong choice if you want flexibility. But it probably is the right choice if you want an expensive car and expensive house.

This has been the norm for awhile. No one wants to work with distro maintainers because their model is incompatible with how people build and distribute their software.

You either get a curl sh, a tarball, or a wrapper around either of those that pretends to be a .deb or .rpm.
>You're presenting a false dichotomy

No, I did not present a false dichotomy. "Up to and including" is not a dichotomy, it's a gradient of escalation. Seems pretty clear.

>My opinion is that you prevent nuclear war by showing strength. Not by helping Ukraine fight, but by ensuring Ukraine wins. If Putin is willing to use nukes now, he would be way more willing to do it 10 years later...

So in fact your policy is that we should ensure Russia loses in Ukraine, up to and including a direct nuclear exchange. Why do you refuse to own the logical consequences of your rhetoric?

>Given they can no longer advance with their regular army, they launch nukes at EU... for any other fake reason.

Utterly ridiculous. This is unequivocally MAD territory. At worst you threaten MAD, you don't initiate a MAD scenario. This is the nonsense you dream up when you assume your adversary is totally irrational.
They're not in the search business because the potential is much more limited compared with selling hardware and services. People use YouTube and Facebook for many hours a day and the amount of revenue compared with what Apple can get from ads in app store, news, perhaps iPhone search and other Apple apps are orders of magnitude higher (hundreds of billions of dollars compared with single digit billions for Apple).

Privacy is very different for most of the ads Apple are currently showing too. Search ads work without the need for tracking because when people are searching for something you show them ads for things they are searching for now, not from some model of their interests created from their tracked internet history.

This is why Apple can have an ad business and also destroy Facebooks (and others) ad business based on tracking - they don't need to squeeze every dollar from targeted ads.
That's missing the point, Apple owns the platform and are using that dominance to push people out while pushing themselves in.

Using your dominance in one industry like that could fall afoul of anti monopoly laws.
I guess I’m not familiar with this. I live in northern midwestern farm country (corn/soybean fields) and can see some consolidation, but still almost all family farms.
According to many ad networks today just using Firefox is "ad-blocking" because it is not Chrome and is missing Chrome features.

I know I'm satisfied with Firefox built-in Enhanced Tracking Protection, so I don't have an extension installed for "ad blocking", but my problem is not ads but ad trackers. I don't mind "non-personalized, non-targeted" ads and I welcome them in many cases, but I do mind ad trackers and I loathe any attempt at "personalized" ads.

(Though I don't have 0 extensions installed even then, I like Tree Tab Plus and Multi-Account Container. Multi-Account Container is of course another reason the ad networks believe I "block ads" even though I technically do not. It seems better for me that Google, Twitter, and Facebook accounts are never logged in at the same time in the same tab.)
My lack of imagination lacks the imagination to address this:

> They are still prioritizing OEM customers (who have built their products around the Pi)

OEMs use RPis? What are they using it for, does anyone know, got any examples? I've always assumed RPis to be a hobbyist tool. All the blog posts, documentation, examples I encounter are around the hobbyist's mindset. I've not encountered any "business" oriented documentation or examples or blogs.

Edit: Everyone, thanks for the examples. I'm going through each one. It's like a whole new world opened to me.
They are tracked. That's why the Archives knew to go looking for them.

Most of them aren't even classified. It's just that they belong in the Archives. The executive branch has a tracking system for that purpose, and they turn the data over to the Archives when the President leaves office.

Does Rust belong in the Linux kernel?
No, this is the fallout for gamergate.

People aren't stupid, that "game journalists" were basically in bed (metaphorically speaking) with the game publishers/developers themselves was a _very_ common complaint.

When it was revealed a reviewer was _literally_ sleeping with a game developer, it boiled over. Gaming journalism could have chosen to defend themselves by creating some sort of standard. Instead, they took advantage of the internet being vitriolic to try and turn this into a debate about misogyny.

What you're seeing now is the fallout of that decision. People don't trust them. Because it turns out, attacking your audience and labeling them as sexist assholes isn't a great idea.
Maybe it's both, as in the substance completely fills all the available space, like a triangular wedge. We can't really see the underneath of the dress.

Your 20 year old Linux still works. All you have to do is not be greedy about wanting all the inventions that evil corporations made in the past 20 years.
The squid can see if not comprehend the fact that water continues or if it gets high enough that there is a boundary between water and air. If indeed it isn't able to see that there is more it would not merely be because of lack of specific knowledge but because of a lack of even basic analytical tools to reason abstractly, communicate between individuals, and pass down analysis between generations over time.

I think there is a reason to believe that this represents a unique threshold rather than one of many and that even highly advanced beings would be fundamentally comprehensible and describable even if their technology is not in a way that probably isn't true of the squid because our abstract reasoning can represent the basic facts needed to describe what they are doing even if it misses the why or how.

Even a biomechanical hive would have greater longevity and resources by expanding even if we don't much recognize what they are doing with said resources.
The goal shouldn't be to 'escape', but rather encourage our businesses to do the right thing so people aren't hostages in the first place. If Apple simply played fair, I don't think anyone would feel the need to leave (or fear that they need to). Perhaps this will be the ultimate test of Apple putting their customers before profits...

In any case, I think Linux replaces MacOS without much protest. I hated working around Mac-specific idiosyncrasies anyways, and while a number of devs might protest, Apple hardware makes for fine Linux machines these days. You're right to identify that iOS is harder to replace, but it's hard to imagine a long-term solution that doesn't involve Apple allowing sideloading. I really hope they do the right thing here, but that's all we can do.
I'm often reminded of Stallman's message that Free Software would be the right thing to use, for reasons of ethics and preserving freedom for ourselves and others, even if it were a worse experience. (He argues that it isn't worse, but that's a different conversation.)

Okay? But if I could charter two different ships and one would cost X$ and the other X+10$ (due to extra gas usage) wouldn't I charter the ship with sails?
They don't really though because in the several systems I've seen configured like that, the same staff have access to all accounts. Accidental deletion and unauthorized access should not be a possibility via policy rather than isolation, because if the former isn't done then the latter will not help. If the client demands it, sure, but charge them for the inconvenience.

The main risk is hitting resource limits which is why I would and do give development teams their own account to cause mayhem in.
