Their definition of sexually explicit is pretty narrow though in practice, there's still a significant chunk of Tumblr blogs that are 100% focused on sexual images and content without issue (and frankly were throughout the time when porn was banned since in practice Tumblr didn't put a tremendous amount of effort towards enforcement).

That doesn't really change anything. If Apple uses a bad API because they thought of it first, they're still using a bad API.
No, I don’t think so. Daisy chaining in networking is the worst possible design. For instance, the AP you’ve mentioned would go offline if the camera breaks. Not to mention stp diameter issues that are also possible in such designs. Normally each traffic consumer should be connected to an access switch using a separate port.
Unlikely. Ghana happens to be a gold producer; they may see this as a better deal for them, and may get some other benefit from a country like China for rattling the cage.

It is hard to apply such a forecast to all tech companies. They aren't created the same. Growth companies and startups have already corrected after realizing the mistakes made. Blue-chips have reduced workforces in non-profitable efforts while expanding workforce in profitable ones.

Real leaders aren't going to look at what gets constant press and apply it to their divisions. That's just asinine. Also to think you need to provide extreme value to your employer because of "the times looking tough" is the media scaring you because you saw a market correction of layoffs and a significant event of someone Icahn-lifting a company.
There are automated (integration) test rigs that run your changes that watch Linux kernel branches. If you send a patch to a Linux kernel maintainer then it will make it into their branch and then you (the author of the patch) will get emails with the results of the automated tests.

Metal is generally a nicer API to use than Vulkan.
I get the impression that the lack of releases on mac are generally down to non-technical reasons.

Building for ARM is probably not a big challenge if you’re already building for Apple’s x86 toolset.

Metal would be more of a challenge I imagine, but a bridge probably worth crossing all else being equal (or one that you don’t need to cross at all if you’re using something like unreal or unity).

The Mac isn’t a games platform as Apple hasn’t shown much interest in the mainstream gaming market, and I can’t imagine major publishers are eager to fork over a third of their revenue on the App Store for sales they’ll probably pick up elsewhere without more work and cost. Sure theres Epic and Steam on Mac, but they’re ghost towns, and publishers are likely waiting to see what way the EU Digital Markets Act shakes out globally anyway (as other governments are pressured to provide the same freedoms).

There was talk at one point of Apple working on a game console (a more powerful Apple TV) but who’s the market for that?

They’ll not be cost-competitive with Xbox or content-competitive with PlayStation and Nintendo.

At best they’d be likely to produce a similarly powered box with little content and a high price tag in a market already retailing hardware below cost price.
They may want to buy things like fertilizers or wheat from a sanctioned entity, Russia coming to mind.
> There's a procol being worked on to allow tearing

The irony, to say the least.
They do perform automated fuzzing which isn't the same thing but for most of its use cases like drivers, it might be enough so long as coverage is validated routinely.
> tests however are particularly toxic as it makes refactoring and cleanup very difficult.

Properly written tests check the interface contract, and thus are very friendly watchdog that will warn you as soon as you got out the right path.

Tests that check the implementation details, instead, are hardly ever justifiable.
That’s a mac, and while I agree it is one of those pesky, annoying ones, it is likely more of an oversight/not enough people care thingy to count it as a bug.

I use a mac and an iphone without apple music and never seen anything like that.
Maybe this is a 'straw man', but this is what I refer to when I say I prefer iPhones for their reliability and stability, or at least what I perceive to be more reliable than most android phones. The closest issue I can recall on iPhone was that issue where saying some nonsense to siri caused an erroneous dialing of 911.

I get it, this is sorta a one off thing, but it irks me when super basic functionality of the phone is unstable, such as making a literal phone call.
A more challenging code puzzle game: https://BUGFIX-66.com
It could cook my breakfast for me, and it would still be useless if it exclusively targets Apple products. People use Vulkan because it targets multiple platforms. There's nothing stopping Apple from providing both APIs, and if Apple's API is truly nicer to use than Vulkan, then Apple has nothing to worry about.
> “Even assuming that SIE had the ability and resources to develop a similarly successful franchise to Call of Duty, it would take many, many years and billions of dollars to create a challenger to Call of Duty – and the example of EA’s Battlefield shows that any such efforts would more than likely be unsuccessful."

Ouch that has to burn
This seems disingenuous. The previous claim was that Apple ignored an existing emerging standard, so it is relevant. Your new claim is that Metal is a bad API, which I haven't heard anyone else say. What makes it bad?

This is a leak from court documents that indicates that the PS6 will probably be released in 5 years at the soonest. So there is still a lot of time.

And I don't think the PS5 is that hard to get by now, though of course this will vary by region.

Most games are still cross-generation, but that is always the case. And they do look better on the PS5, though obviously they can't really take full advantage of the new capabilities, especially the much faster storage. But e.g. Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok still look very, very good on the PS5 and are not available on PC, even though they are cross-gen.

All the mechanics in the world won't help you if the fundamentals are broken.

At some point, when push comes to shove, someone has to take delivery of something. This comes down to a matter of efficiency and faith. Who do you have more faith in? A random bank claiming to having a certain amount of gold on deposit? Your own central bank taking in tons of gold for delivery of a good?

This is silliness. If the USD is inflating too much (or if you perceive American sanctions as too onerous) then use a different currency like the Swiss Franc or the Euro.

None of this really matters. What matters is international settlements, agreements, and force. If you're on the wrong side of the WTO your economy is cooked anyway. Besides, if Ghana were some stalwart of anti-corruption then this may mean something, but it isn't. It's middle of the pack. Well behind Canada, Europe, Japan, and The United States; all countries or blocks that are perfectly fine selling and buying in USD.
Ego has been moving in this direction. They basically have 2 or 3 models of batteries that only vary by capacity, but they are interchangeable with most of their equipment. The riding zero-turn lawn mower can use 4 to 6 of their 56V/10AH batteries at $500 each. The batteries are half the cost of that riding mower. Those batteries can be used with most of the handheld gear such as weed whacker, blower, lawn mower, chainsaw, snow blower, etc... I could see using the 10AH batteries on a bike. It would take a lot of them to power a car but I could totally see Honda making something that would be easy to swap out.

Perhaps some day people don't even buy/own the batteries. One just pulls into a "battery station", lets the car drive and position itself into a bay, pop pop, off you go. Fully charged reconditioned batteries. Even faster than buying fuel. After the car leaves, the previously used cells are tested straight away and if faulty, they get routed to a recycling center. If in nominal shape, they get recharged and put back into service.
Those sound delicious!

I wish there were a way to get them, other than buying a car (I like VWs, but don't need one).

Unfortunately, in today’s world self defense has become more of a reality. For the majority of us, self-defense is a crucial and significant issue with few viable options. One of the most efficient non-lethal products available is pepper spray, which has been repeatedly proven to work.
It won't happen.
Transactions in Ghana cannot directly be in dollars, so when a USD price is quoted for a foreign sale behind the scenes what happens is cedis are brought in, converted to dollars, then given to the foreign party.

This creates a demand for dollars in Ghana, that puts downward pressure on the cedis.

So this avoids that, hopefully reduces inflation.
> And virtually all the plastic produced by Coca-Cola is 'new' plastic made from Crude Oil.

To me this is one of the big arguments in favor of plastic bottles. Hydrocarbons locked up as plastic waste in landfills seems far preferable to me to it ending up as CO2 in the air, especially as it displaces the energy and therefore carbon intensive processes of creating glass or aluminium bottles.

Of course in an ideal world we'd recycle every aluminium can I'd much prefer people use those. But in the US at least we only recycle 50% of aluminium cans but are far better at making sure waste ends up in landfills so at our margins I'd prefer people use plastic bottles to aluminium cans. If we could get aluminium cans recycling rates up to 90% I think that would flip my preferences and I'd love for us to figure out how to do that. And not every country can afford to have garbage can around that are collected, sweep trash from the street and dispose of it, or even have landfills at all. And in those places the calculus is different.
If one person globally used a feature, it crashed and they didn't report it (so it was not critical for them), it's a massive waste of time and energy to commit and maintain a test case for it. In fact, perhaps that feature has no place existing at all in the first place and should be dropped.

You're underrating the fact that Linux's massive and diverse user base is a great filter for bugs. Only the weirdest heisenbugs can survive this filter, and because of their nature, they wouldn't be tested anyway.
Perhaps they’re talking about the (Intel) kbuild bot?
They’re simply saying that Xbox’s promise to keep Activision software on PlayStation “long-term” is likely only going to last for this console generation, and will end around the time of the PS6. This is their attempt at putting the phrase “long-term” into perspective. This isn’t an announcement or leak on the scale of the GTA 6 leak. Just Sony stating the obvious fact that the PS5 will not be their only console for the rest of time.
Most of our systems here are equipped with 8 GB only, where it's 15.75% as said by somebody else.

With everything else that runs, you're out of RAM pretty quick: Our production software takes around 1 GB when running, Firefox/Chrome with a few tabs, Acrobat Pro...

I'm lucky that I've received an upgrade to 16 GB because I need special software for my work. For the next system I'll ask for 32 GB and 16 GB for my teams. Don't understand why the corporate IT is so sparse with RAM...
What's the difference between Domain Driven Design and Problem Oriented Programming?

I feel like Chuck Moore was talking about this back in the '70s when he wrote Programming in a Problem Oriented Language. Forth has been largely overlooked probably because it lacks what people consider necessities in modern programming languages (like compiler enforced typing by default), but you can't deny the power of Forth and other concatenative languages for their ability to encode the domain.

Most people do not understand ANYTHING about charging standards. They only know that some chargers in they possession seem to be charging some of the devices quickly and some not.
My larger point is that Apple can obviously support both APIs. It doesn't matter if Metal is good, bad or even awful, Vulkan is what people are using and Vulkan can translate from DirectX. Apple is shutting themselves off from the rest of the industry with this move, which I would argue (judging by how many Mac users wish they could game) is a bad thing.
And you're equally getting downvoted for stating something that is also absolutely correct: "If humans cared..."

The amount of garbage ending up in oceans proves definitively that humans don't care.

This completely disregards the recyclability of that garbage. It doesn't matter how much effort the producers put into making their products 'green'. The problem is with filthy, apathetic consumers. How do we fix that?
> instead of using Vulkan like the rest of the industry

When did the rest of the industry drop Direct3D for Vulcan?
You would be surprised what people (in receptions in particular) sometimes let slide when you know the name and where some person is employed.
Much more knowledgeable people than I am suggest that the reasons include nostalgia for empire, and the acute fear that near-Russia is not defensible if states like Ukraine are not controlled up to the nearest natural defensible barrier. Modern Russia appears to have a mortal fear of being invaded that is a little perplexing to the modern European.

> We just never stopped to truly think about it and try.

Oh, you are right about this. But a lot of people stopped to think about it. It always seemed to fail due to market failures, like most other innovations in development.
>Whether it's FOSS or corporate, people won't use your stuff if it's not documented properly. At best they'll use it reluctantly and complain about it.

Maybe FOSS, but there is plenty of corporate SaaS and desktop apps that have basically zero documentation and you are told to contact the "support team" if you can't figure something out.

I agree with the sentiment that Elon Musk is totally overrated and borderline a scammer. I'm 100% with you on that.

That being said... if he manages to run twitter with 20% of the people in a sustainable way that makes a lot of people look bad (including the devs).
Wifi-Direct... what are the chances that someone else is downloading the same torrent within wifi range of me?
> On the other hand, there is the "salt water theory" of how this is going to play out (and the article I think proves that too): If you turn up the heat, the good guys will leave first. I.e. the water will evaporate, leaving only a salty brine:

It could be the reverse. If you take at face value that twitter is trying to refocus on actual improvements to the product as opposed to whatever the thousands of engineers were doing before, then some people may be attracted to that work environment. In my experience the best engineers have left jobs because they're bored, not because of a lack of perks or money. A lot of people leave a lot of money, ridiculous benefits and a 20 hours work week by leaving FAANG so they can work on something meaningful, even if it is a CRUD app. At least they can point to something and say "I did that".

There's a lot to do at twitter that was not a priority in the last decade. Things that seem like bugs (e.g. mobile app looking at a tweet and it disappears or gets pushed away), to search being awful (can't search specific users or before/after or exclude or anything really, its just a black box that sometimes works), to opening up and consolidating the API with the developer API, to actually getting rid of bots.

These aren't necessarily hard problems. This is exactly what a startup would be doing and would definitely drive engagement. But for some reason Twitter has deprioritized these for ... other things? But now it looks like it might actually be an exciting place to work.
Some anecdata: I've played Factorio on both an Intel MBP (2018) and an M1 MBP (2021), the performance even under Rosetta blew away the Intel chipset. Being M1 native means even faster performance with a lower power impact.
When Andrew Wiles writes a flawed proof he gets to think for a while and try to fix it. When someone puts broken code into Linux someone else gets to think for a whole and try to fix it. Except they’re losing thousands per hour or someone is having their phone hacked. Unit tests are just one part of the story, but they can be very important.
> how much protection is there actually in the EU vs. fluffy sounding "protections" that aren't really worth the paper they're written on.

You could also look at the millions of times these "protections" have been tested in court already. There is no magic escape hatch for Twitter or USA companies in general. If people are not fired properly, they are effectively still working at the (twitter EU) company. After a court sentence, the tax labor institution will straight seize the money from the companies bank accounts, with priority over any other debt collection. The only way not to pay out the workers is literal bankruptcy, and even for that case there are special funds in place.

Court sentences may take a long time, but after a short time (1 or 2 weeks) of not being allowed to work by your employer, you can just start at another job while waiting for a proper firing notice or the court sentence.

BTW an employer can absolutely fire someone at will in the EU, just not "on the spot". You have to either give a period or pay it out, and you cannot fire a large amount/fraction of employees together at will - you have to open a special process and then justify it, e.g. profit losses.
I believe that that was the joke
I've played about 60 hours of Factorio on the Nintendo Switch version, which came out 4 weeks ago. I'd never played it before.

This comment has very little to do with Apple Silicon, except to say that I imagine its a faster platform than the Switch, and that Factorio is addictive fun. Here's hoping the promise of the post turns into reality.
Yeah even in the webdev world, the zeitgeist has shifted from

"write as many tests as possible, 100% code coverage, in fact 100% branching code coverage. Use an absurd amount of mocks to achieve this"

to

"write tests, not too many. mostly integration". (Guillermo Rauch tweet)

And thank god because 100% code coverage always felt like an exercise in obedience to dumb process over good judgement.
