What if you aren't good at anything? You might find it helpful to consider this possibility and make peace with it, since you have no real control over it. Most people are average at most things, and the willpower to change ones stars is also scarcely distributed. Realizing that it's overwhelmingly likely that you are "only" average might help you relax and enjoy the ride. If you can attain this kind of equanimity, you may find yourself better able to appreciate things as they are, along with the serendipity of life. You may then realize that life is full of possibilities which were hidden from you by a fixation with linear progression.
Ok, "digital movies as most consumers know them". People aren't buying DRM-free digital movies. (Technically, DVDs and Blu-rays are digital as well, but we don't call them that)
I don't see it is a regulation against Apple. It is just a question of being coherent with the other hundred of smartphone brands that are forced to use a single interface for the charger. And I really don't miss at all the times when we needed to have 3 different types of them at home.
I maintain a set of editor snippets instead. There is a snippet for each of: main source prolog, package.json, visual component, express app, standard config, ts config, index.html, etc etc. If I need something that I deleted earlier, I just expand a snippet in a new temporary tab and copy relevant parts back. Much easier than maintaining or learning a scaffolding tool.

Are you kidding? Six weeks is laughably short for paternity leave. Taking care of a 2 month old is a 24/7 job and doing it with two people is insanely difficult, that people are forced to do it with one is mindboggling.
Eh, don't worry about it. As long as the job you're working at is paying you enough to live and save enough, change as many hobbies as you want and change as many jobs as you want.
I'm vehemently against these "stay behind" sabotage troops. When you look at how they fared in WWII you'll notice they didn't make a difference militarily, but did lead to enormous casualties amongst the civilian population, mostly from reprisals.

I believe we should fight to win or lose and give up. Fighting a guerilla war when you country's occupied will not make any difference in the end.

Worse still, these so-called paramilitaries often branched out into crime and human rights abuses. They might even turn against the government that created them.
It’s rather simple, because you want to sell it. If you want to hold out for selling it at market price while the buyer will prefer buying it directly from the source, then so be it, or if you want to sell it immediately, you price it at bargain prices or even free if you don’t care, i.e. value the item anymore. What we are witnessing here is a total destruction of markets and commerce between free humans.

What you and many are are also missing, including the author, is that the whole system is a fraud because the prices we asked to pay (I refuse) are fraudulent themselves because of it. You are “buying” a movie at a price, precisely because the whole system is rigged in a fraudulent manner where you are not able to actually own it and you are not able to sell it, and you can’t rent it or even lend it; therefore it is not actually a market price, it is a monopoly price based on cartel control and total cornering of the market. It’s essentially no different than the fraudulent price of diamonds or any of the frauds that have been prosecuted where people corner and manipulate the market of, e.g., onions, famously.

Some may have heard the phrase “you will own nothing and be happy” expressed by your global rulers. This topic is precisely manifestation of that and people don’t seem to realize it. You own nothing related to media that you think you own and you think you are happy for it, without yet realizing what a fraud and trap it is, even as the encirclement of slavery progresses all around us.

Especially in America there are many people who, if you were to look at closely, literally own not a single thing they think they have; and in many cases own less than they are even worth. Every single thing can be yanked out from under people like that on a whim … legally. A recent famous example of that is the Tesla that was disabled because Tesla didn’t like something.
Slaves of the past were also “happy and didn’t own anything” since their healthcare was “free” and their groceries were “free” and their housing was “free”, etc.; all provided for “free” by government of and by the feudal lord or plantation owners.

In case people have forgotten the most relevant case of what the author writes about; remember when Amazon simply deleted a book from users’ kindles without even asking, let alone receiving consent? This was about 4 years ago now. That book that Amazon just disappeared off people’s devices with no evidence of their actions other than some coincidental proof of purchase people had retained … 1984.

This law might have actually encouraged more waste than would have otherwise existed.

Cables (generally) don't go bad in a year or two and can last for quite a few years. Most long-term iPhone users probably have at least a few spare cables throughout their desk, house, car that they've bought over time that they'd now have no substitutes for and would need to replace.

You might have dictated a situation where people now have to throw away a pile of perfectly usable cables/accessories and buy a bunch of new ones. While well intentioned, this law might have otherwise achieved the opposite of what it set out to do.

PS: Whether this law exists or not, I'd have bet on Apple working to go fully wireless soon and this might just accelerate that effort.
Apple wants to do away with all external connectors on that phone. My guess is that they won't have any ports once they get rid of the lightning connector.
While I don't blame you or anything, this only works for English conventions. Dutch quotation marks are different, at least if you try to do smart quotes correctly.

> I’m not sure about the whole neurological dysfunction story.

Are you a medical professional or do you have a scientific source backing up your suspicion?

The point why there is no objective blood test is mainly rooted in the fact that getting a true measurement of a neurotransmitter is prohibitively costly (measurement across intra- and inter-daily blood samples to establish a true baseline). Yet, scientists are doing this and there are genetic and neurotransmitter markers which are abnormal in people classified with ADHD. For further reading with a variety of medical sources I recommend [0].

It's a disorder, and presents with a large variety of expressions or comorbidities, but the symptoms (restlessness, jumping between hobbies) are shared and the consequences both in private as well professional lives are severe.

The inability to focus on single things lead to worse career outcomes and worse relationship outcomes. It is a serious suffering for those affected.
Ritalin has a 60 year pharmacological history and has proven to help people. Modern stimulants are even better.

>> You buy a bunch of iTunes movies in Canada, then move to the USA, and you no longer have the right to watch them anymore due to licensing.

Maybe this is true from the perspective of the license but it's not something Apple enforces through tech. For example, I have a two iTunes accounts for two countries. I can purchase content through both and use that content anywhere without restriction. They make it a big pain because you can't switch your account to a different geo after it's created but with multiple accounts your content isn't actually restricted.

I am hoping for my next car to be chargeable through a USB-C port too! /s

I love the fact that there is a standardized port, and I can get devices of any type to charge with a single powerful charger. But connector and cables are wonky at best if you want to have a single cable for everything too (look up prices, thickness and lengths of USB-C PD 100W, alt-DP 1.4 capable, USB 3+ speeds cables, and then watch them break in a few months of "regular" use like in a car charger).

But I want a better, more robust standard than USB-C! Can that happen with the law in place? I don't know, but that scares me.
This so much. This era was defined by vendor lock-in. Getting e.g. a dedicated car phone audio setup was tough decision, since you could not just change the phone.

I still have a box of old phones with custom chargers, headsets and data cables. The Nokia barrel plug (different sizes), the Siemens comb style connector, the Ericsson break away type connector, the Motorola two prong, the Bosch connector and some really weird LG/NEC/SAGEM plugs.

Good riddance.

I think you may be too deep in the Android space, I have heard this a ton. TBH I think many times the apps are wrapped webviews so scrolling works but other interactions feel off, but 100% non devs notice when iOS apps don't feel native.
There're a couple of microkernels you can check out: http://www.microkernel.info
My experience might be limited to my geography/culture (Eastern Europe).

While I agree that it's hard to have an assessment of new generations that isn't biased by your beliefs, I also think that simply giving up because everything is relative is not useful.

The questions becomes: how can we see the problems of a generation with which we don't share a history in way that's useful to them?

The original Socrates quote I was referring to is used to give up on doing anything, while my understanding of it was that we need to use more nuance and empathy to help guide the youth. Simply giving up on passing the lessons we learned from experience is a waste.
It is anti-democractic and bypasses justice mechanisms we worked hundreds of years to put in place. It is almost irrelevant what the group of people who experience disdain towards themselves think. Because subconsciously they are engaging in status-seeking behavior, which playing the victim card is very useful for.
My wife and I were apparently at a party of a mutual friend two years before we met. Neither of us remembers the other being there. Apparently being the guy who brought an Apple IIc and a box of floppies to a college party in 2009 wasn't memorable enough!
ADHD is quite well studied. If you're up for it, there is a 2.5h video that goes into some detail about what it is and how it affects children. I found it quite fascinating and it helped me understand some of my symptoms. (Mine is comorbid with bipolar. Yay.)

If it were about chargers, you'd only need to dictate the plug on the charger, not the plug on the phone.
It's very clearly satire and not dangerous.

I have a very serious question for anyone pushing a limit on free speech: where does it end?

My answer is that the Right will dictate the limits to speech, not the Left.

Stop pushing for this. It will end poorly for everyone. The people who are already suffering will be the hardest hit.
I like this but the internet can give you at leas as much as it can take from you and a solution to all our problems is the same as on the streets: "be the change you want to be"
Apple is part of the USB-IF. They also have pushed USB standards to consumers since the iMac. Hell, Apple participates of every single industrial forum they can benefit from.

Apple has moved on to USB-C for almost every other product they have. They know Lightning is old and insufficient, even for their iPad Air.

The only reason why Apple keeps Lightning around is for phones and some portable accessories, and the revenue from those, and their certifications, is not something they are willing to dismiss. Technically speaking, if you want something as simple as a cable, you have to go through Apple and their MFI program.

So here we are, with Apple holding the keys to every Lightning accessory, and also keeping a degree of control of USB-C.

If anything, the EU is trying to keep Apple honest.

Well, it would be useful for giving non-developer managers something to do.
Oh wow, thank you for the reminder. I started work consulting on a project recently where the team is using protobufs and grpc. While they aren't directly changing the generated files, they aren't keeping them appropriately gapped. I knew this problem had been around since forever, but I couldn't remember where I'd seen it covered. This is exactly the pattern I had in mind but couldn't remember. I hope that I can help the team overcome some difficulties by discussing this with them.
Meanwhile, Facebook matches people to those they're unattracted to, despite having all the attraction data. Except for the occasional moment that someone reads a WhatsApp story from someone they haven't seen in years, and then FB spams their feed with each other.
by updating my LinkedIn profile to 'Looking for work' and answering the tidal wave of recruiter messages.

That was going to be my exact answer. That's worked for me the last couple of times. I might also have sent one or two submissions that I initiated, but typically I get swamped with messages from recruiters, so not much work needed on that end.
Jumping through hoops doesn't work for most consumers. Nor should they have to do it.
Self-regulation only works if government regulation is a serious threat in case self-regulation fails. In this case, self-regulation failed, so government regulation stepped in to force industry to do what is right.

All the handwringing about stifling innovation is on its face ridiculous as mandates to use micro-usb didn't stop android phones from adopting the new and better standard as soon as it was viable.
That's been depreciated for several years. Most people these days go with either VLC or MPV.

The code used in GitHub copilot is all copyrighted with GPL, MIT,BSD. Also lots of the code was not uploaded to GitHub by the authors so GitHub shity ToS won't apply so you can't claim that the authors agreed to some vague terms that we can now intepret as allows only GitHub to create copilot.

You did

1 MS did not violate copyright since is open source code, andfor soem reason you think that only proprietary code should be removed from copilot

2 even if MS violated the license the guilty person is the dude that uploaded the code to GitHub and click I Agree not he ToS, implying that somehow the GitHub ToS has the ability to change open source license(but t proprietary ones, since you claim MS "removed" such code when it was revealed).

As I mentioned above, MS are cowards, iof their thing is real creating new stuff then put their ass on the line and put their own code in too, put all proprietary code in GitHub in copilot too and then have their well paid lawyers defend their tech.

Its not a problem for developers but arguably a problem with anything like UML - which perhaps explains why it has failed to really take off in the way that a lot of people 20 years agoreally expected.
DVD has an incredibly weak 40-bit encryption scheme due to US regulations on exporting cryptography when it was developed. As a result, it was broken very quickly after launch. It has no real key revocation system (just stop including keys for certain defeated devices in new releases), and nowadays a computer can brute-force every possible decryption key within seconds, rendering revoking stolen drive keys completely pointless. As the region lock is enforced by software only, an unofficial player like VLC does not need to pay the region lock any heed.

Blu-ray on the other hand... well, where do I start? 128-bit AES, key revocation, host authentication, virtual machine fixup tables, digital signing, Media Key Block updating, Java applications... Let's just say Blu-ray is stuck in an odd place where the underlying technology isn't really that defeated, even though hackers have made keeping up with their stolen device keys from hacked players very impractical for the Blu-ray Disc Association. (Revoking a drive key requires a 90-day heads up for manufacturers to roll out new keys for the effected model, which means that if hackers manage to steal 4 device keys per year... from over a decade and a half of different players, many not receiving updates anymore...)
Thanks for sharing. This introduced a few I missed back when I was evaluating alternatives. Nothing I have tried so far fits quite as well as Heroku but Porter looks like it has a chance…
BTW, EB (Elastic Beanstalk) is generally viewed as just for those getting started, but I've seen companies build really serious stuff (and at significant scale) on it, including an extremely high performance distributed IoT time series database (that was 10 years ago, back before there were good time series DBs to just use).

AWS doesn't push EB much, partly because it does offer great value and doesn't make them nearly as much money as things like FarGate or AppSync. If you need something that just does what really needs doing cheaply and well, though, give it another look.
In principle I agree with you, but in practice I don't. When Apple released lightning we didn't yet have a USB-C, so lightning was a good alternative, even though it was proprietary. Now things are very different, and USB-C is here and is widely used.

It would be one thing if we were stuck on Micro/MiniUSB and the EU wanted apple to use a clearly inferior technology, but USB-C stacks up very well against lightning, possibly even better.

I don't see this as the EU saying "you must start using USB-C" and more "look you can't use your proprietary cords anymore that we have very good standards, considering you are the biggest phone maker on the planet"

Let them reject you, don't reject yourself.

Good advice! Can probably be applied to a great many things in life.
Super PAC's such as Share Blue (now known as The American Independent) weaponized online shaming through troll farms. David Brock of Share Blue had a confidential memo leaked that outlined how weak Democratic support was in online comment sections, hence - they used troll farms to counter negative comments towards them. It annoyed Share Blue how Conservative comments were mostly grass-root.

A similar Super PAC for online comment trolling was known as CTR (Correct the Record) - backed by Hillary Clinton. So if you posted a negative comment about her online back before the election, you would often see these blank troll accounts leave you a friendly little reply.

It's hard to talk about this in tech because we, as a blob, enable it. It helps our companies growth and bottom line.

I have bought around 100 movies on iTunes. I get the argument that I don’t “own” the movies but it’s too convenient. And the best thing about iTunes is that it upgrades the movies when new features come along. I didn’t have to pay extra for 4K or Dolby Atmos when the movie itself got upgraded. That itself is enough for me.
Reading the proposal, I'm not sure I get the usecase for the do expression.

Could I just achieve the same with a function call?

Or if I want to inline the contents of that function in the same code for readability preference, aside from syntax sugar is there a difference from (() => { ... })()?

Or have I missed something about some extra features it provides?
