> I disagree with your premise (as does Musk who is faulting Apple for NOT advertising on Twitter; or anybody who has ever been faulted for not, say, doing the dishes or any other common thing), but even by your standard there's a real problem here.

Ignoring china/musk/etc in this argument, I just wanted to say that's not what's going on here. Apple isn't being called out for "not doing [X]" they are being called out for an action, changing their advertising strategy.

Not doing the dishes as your example, is being called out for an inaction ("why won't they say they disagree with [X]") and not equivalent. If the example was "they started doing the dishes then quit" that would be a fair equivalent to this, as they actively performed an action.

I think Russell's teapot is adjacent to this. The burden of proof is on the claimant, i.e. "they haven't publicly denounced [X]" is trying to shift the burden to the other party when it should be "through action {Z} they have shown they agree with [X]".
AirDrop was frequently used in Hong Kong, but by far the most popular app for protest stuff was Telegram. There was also a widely used protest website.

For what it's worth, Apple also took down a crowdsourced map from the app store that helped people avoid areas with tear gas and heavy police activity, on the grounds that it was somehow endangering the cops. Very shady stuff.
Had it before vaccines were widely available. Currently have both doses but no boosters. (Not opposed but after the exhaustion from the first 2 I am only willing to take it on a friday afternoon and never remember.)

Symptoms were mostly mild. Fever, crazy exhaustion and a cough for a few weeks. My dad who caught it at the same time died from it.

Was never able to work from home and people unmasked as soon as they could here in Arkansas.
If so what are some reasons why this is occurring?

They want your info so they can track you more easily. This is mostly about selling ads.

Because companies dominate the product and so they feel they can get away with it? Because companies grow and lose their first principles? Because of the pressure to always be growing?

It's like passive income or free money.
His 80 year old mother isn't using MacOS. She's on an ipad or an iphone - where I do genuinely think I can't install my own software.

They're both perfectly fine general purpose machines - except apple holds the keys to the engine, and only hands them out when they approve of the use case.
We caught it for the first time a week ago (my entire family). Theoretically I was patient zero, but the preceding week I had only left the house once, which was go to to a doctor appointment where I wore a n95 mask (and the rest of the office was masked as well.)

Very frustrating.
On Windows you can directly access UNC paths (without mounting) with fopen. You can't do this on POSIX platforms. Also, not all API boundaries are fixed width so you're going to be exposed to the ugliness of variable width types.

I think the article is correct that one must be aware of the platform and the OS when writing C code.
yeah, was thinking this.

Of course, in this space I don't think eslint has many competitors, unlike Netscape vs IE did then, so they've got time.. for now.

I'm sure 'old' eslint will be mostly ignored in the meantime, as the excitement will be with the new shiny.
I think we may find the answers by reflecting upon: what were the incentives for the best astro-aero engineers to leave Nasa, Boeing, etc and join SpaceX in its beginning? Join Elon who had 0 track record in Space, came from dot.com SW? he paid quite poorly. Nobody believed in SpaceX. He made clear he had money for only 3 attempts. etc, etc.

Also, when you are part of a company that used to run with 7000 people, and you realize it can run with a fraction of that AND you have been chosen to be part of that fraction, that must (and should) speak highly to many.
That's true.

My timeline is pretty chill.

But when I look what's trending in my country, Twitter is a garbage fire.

Have you looked at how much stuff there is under Settings on a recent version of iOS? Admittedly it's not the Windows Registry, but...
Well for one thing, many people seem to believe Tim Cook and other individuals at Apple when they say things like "We believe privacy is a human right". It's worthwhile to point out some of the examples of their actions being contrary to their words.
I selected the last option but you don't have one for me: never had symptoms and never got tested. Got vaccinated though.
I try to stay epistemically humble. As far as meta-ethics go I tend to lean toward proving a positive as opposed to a negative which is why I am a relativist in the face of no proof.
Did you not read the parent comment? Literally the next words after your pull quote was "Heat avoidance I can understand". The comment was about non-heat generating spices.... you know, the things that add flavor without heat.
Or do you find "Rosemary, Basil, or Cumin" to be "painful"???
Otherwise, please do this community a favor and actually *READ* what others say before rushing in and disagreeing with people for something they didn't say.
I don't think that's correct. I think most people are complaining about what they see, and how they feel when using Twitter.

I'm basing my opinion on:

- The experience of seeing people move to Mastodon and comment on how much more pleasant they find it (I do think this might be fleeting - more because they're seeing only early adopters than because there's intrinsic 'bitterness' missing on Mastodon, at least compared to 'old Twitter').

- My own experience of Twitter. It just makes me anxious and angry now. Every time. Yet I keep going back! It's transformed from a pleasant place to converse and browse to somewhere where everyone is angry at everyone else all the time. I'm fairly liberal in my opinions, so usually people I see are angry at either right wing folks or other left wing folks being liberal in slightly different ways - but I do also see the retweets of angry right wing tweets with the "hey, isn't this opinion SO WRONG" opinion. This is with the 'chronological' feed. With the 'algorithmic' feed, it's _even worse_: I now get more angry people I don't know on both sides of the spectrum, and I don't see the non-angry normal conversations or life updates from people I do follow (presumably because they're low-engagement).

- I _do_ think about how this affects others, you're right - and I imagine that those with more right wing opinions are in much the same state as me, but more 'opposite', and _even more angry_ because right wing accounts seem to be more likely to be aggressive than left wing ones. So, yes, I am concerned about what others see - but only in as much as I'm concerned about what everyone sees and how the current political climate is descending into an angry selfish madness where no-one is prepared to actually listen to anyone else. I do think this angry selfish madness is more prevalent on the right, especially in mainstream politics.

Maybe my experience is not the majority one, but I think you should take it into account.
Someone did this to me, jokes on them, I know where they live now- airdrop does not strip exif location unless you tell it too :)
It's a 10 minute limit on receiving, which needs manual intervention to reset.

That pretty much kills Airdrop as an open P2P communication channel (the "undesired" usage) while still enabling one off intentional file transfers (the primary Airdrop use case).

So a 10 minute limit easily kills 99% of "bad" usage without impacting common usage, leading to less resistance/complaints from average users. Killing Airdrop full stop would have greater push back/outrage, with only marginal improvement against the undesired usage.

Q: How does 10 min limit kill the P2P communciation usage?

A: Imagine your cell phone could only receive calls from non-contacts for 10 min. After which you had to remember to push a button to re-allow calls for another 10m, rinse/repeat. With that UX, the chance you ever successfully call or be called by a non-contact is near zero. People wouldn't opt-in frequently enough to have a reliable network.
I really wish that int arr[5] adopted the semantics of struct { int arr[5]; } -- that is, you can copy it, and you can pass it through a function without it decaying to a pointer. Right now in C:

typedef uint32_t t1[5];
typedef struct { uint32_t arr[5]; } t2;
void test(t1 a, t2 b) {
t1 c;
t2 d;
printf("%d %d %d %d\n", sizeof(a), sizeof(b), sizeof(c), sizeof(d));
}

will print 4, 20, 20, 20. I understand that array types having their sizes in their types was one of Kernighan's gripes with Pascal [0], which likely explains why arrays decay to pointers, but for those cases, I'd say you should still decay to a pointer if you really wanted to, with an explicit length parameter.

I am suggesting that if your company is on track to DIE, then your utmost duty is to save YOUR company.
I would add:

- The ability to send push notifications without replying on GCM/APN

- Support for mesh networking (multiple low power peer connections)

- Convenient "lockdown" mode that encrypts your phone's contents for international travel

- Included hardware wallet/keystore for signing all data that you upload to social media
That seems another different issue. The problem, as Wowfunhappy explained, is that the codecs compress the frames making a diff with the previous frames. So if you start in a frame that depends on other frames that you don't want to include in the clip, there's information missing. The result is that the clip starts playing the sound, but with all-black video for a few seconds.

In the previous link there are a couple of solutions that might work. One is "recoding", that's somehow ambiguous: could be understood as changing the codec, but also making a new compression from the decompressed frames.

I have the program in another computer so I can't test it now, but I certainly will.
The consequences doled out by the market are not distributed equitably. A bunch of late-comers and depositors lost everything, while the people most responsible for the disaster live in multi-million dollar homes in the Bahamas. This seems like a recipe for the same thing happening again and again.

If SBF sees the inside of a prison cell that won't be the free market at work but rather the government.
"of free and equal human beings"

The problem starts with how you define those two(or any political expression). Because by many definitions, they are contradictory.

Equal chances? Money gives people advantages, so all should have the same money? Even if all would have the same money, some are born smart and some are born dumb. Genetic equalisation?

Pretty much against the idea of "freedom" like I know it.

When people are free, some will party all day, some will work like a dog.

So some will get rich. Some will get by, some will starve.

Unless you mean strictly "equal in front of the law", which we supposedly have, but we all know that the one with the more expensive lawer (or any lawer at all) has a big edge. So de facto we are not even equal in front of the law.

The big question is, how and what would you change about it?

I would actually start with free speech, because when people cannot speak freely, they will start speaking in code. And this will just make the whole political discussions even harder, as it will blur the definitions even more. I think this is mainly what we have on the internet. Lots of talk and lots of people thinking they are right, but only little actual communication and adressing the core problems because people are mostly talking about different things.

Why should we possibly believe that any software switches actually fully disable anything? If there isn't a hardware killswitch, there is no reasonable expectation that the cellular radio is actually disabled...

There are trustworthy sources claiming that the NSA still tracks devices that are completely "powered off".

No reason to believe that the CCP doesn't have that ability as well.
I'm vaccinated and boosted (but never got the Omicron booster this fall). On day 6 of my first COVID-positive infection and while I never lost my sense of smell, I had a super high fever (104ºF-ish) and awful headache for 2-3 days, and have been having intermittent brain fog and fatigue and a cough since then but feel 65%-95% recovered at any given moment.

I also just finished my round of Paxlovid, which feels like it may have reduced my recovery time slightly, at the cost of an _awful_ constant metallic taste in my mouth and mild but increasing gastrointestinal upset.
Sadly it's missing a few things that would be really nice, like being able to turn off the %*(% home bar.
The wisdom—which likely was already around before but became the common sort that everybody making and funding software projects knew by some time around 2010-2015—is that there's no real money in the open Web. To make serious cash you have to own a platform. That means exclusion and lock-in. You only really participate in the open Web for initial growth, if even then.
Therapy can literally just be talking through the same kinds of mechanisms as described here (with the plan to apply them to real life). Source: it was for me. How are they going to become second nature if you don't practice?

Sounds like it's Merriam-Webster counting page loads and similar.

(I kinda want to insist that your graph does show the 17-fold increase and you're just reading it wrong.)
It's ok to be intolerant at some things. What's not ok is to be intolerant and still claim to be tolerant. That's hypocrisy.

Also, do not equate actions and speech - and we're mostly arguing about free speech here, right?
It's not awfully promising that the article talks about "X-GitHub-Api-Version" and then calls it "X-GitHub-Version" later on...

> - Has a nearly unusable store front where discovery is basically impossible

A store is a place to buy games, i don't want no algorithm telling me what i "should" buy, you can easily manipulate it to promote your friends with lot of money, wich is already what's happening with Steam, i miss the old days of people sharing about games they found and writting about them on blog posts, i find new indie games to play thanks to the various youtubers, not thanks to "steam algorithm"

> - Requires you to pay for online matchmaking, while having a worse online user experience than the Xbox360

Xbox360? some data is leaking agent John, but yeah, that sucks, but they added RetroGaming capabilities, so there is that

I agree with you on that, build quality is very poor, hence why i personally don't own a Switch

I'm not interested in that

> - Doesn't support modding

I'm not interested in that

A nintendo switch lite is 199€, steam deck is 419€, double the price
I also found it odd that they switched from URL versioning to an HTTP header.

Sure if I’m writing an integration that’s no big deal, but it makes it more of a PITA to do things from the CLI with curl.
Print magazines worked on the same principle; the ones that are left still do. I subscribe to one magazine. In it, all of the editorial content is up front and the back third is nothing but ads. I still read them -- sometimes I start there! -- because I genuinely want to know what's going on and what products are available in the niche this magazine covers.
Technically speaking none of these giant corporations are "our friend". They are with the people until their bottom line is impacted / threatened. Frankly, I'm not surprised.
No vax. No masking. No precautions. Never caught it, never had any symptoms.

It was brought in because of protests in mainland China.
Just not because of the current ones, but previous ones.
I'd somewhat hesitate to give out credit like that. It's more of that China kicked out Google, thus freeing Google to "stand up" to the CCP. I would love to see more of an example where a company had a lot on the line and still oppose the CCP
Yes, you summarize the entire cycle very well. There's nothing creating wealth other than the next group of people buying some crypto thing, then that is 'invested' by buying other things that are paying interest, but eventually the cycle of new money coming in goes away.

Guys really, we need to start treating _choice_ as a first class

snatch away from young or old people, or people we deem too stupid.
Deno devs are saying the type checking iteration cycles are super long, so I think you can't get out of this by just using esbuild.
Even then - apps which might want to do things like send multicast packets (very useful in lots of home automations situations) can't do it, using the developer program, without going through approval on the store.

You utterly do not own those devices. Apple sells a house where they kept the keys to all the locks, but people think it's ok "because they'll keep me safe and unlock my doors when I need them to!".

Nevermind the risk is mostly a marketing boogeyman in the first place.
Yes. I had the same problem with F-Droid. I also used to use the Humble Store app back when they had one, same problem.

A good feature is that the Android OS allows you to whitelist sources of Apps, so once you install a "store" you can grant permission to that store to install apps without completely disabling the OS installer security. That didn't used to be a thing - either the setting was Play Store Only or it wasn't and you could grab APKs from the browser.
IMO yes, mass attritionable UAVs exacerbates fundemental disadvantage of anti air - hard to defend everywhere vs air power easier to concentrate to create local tactical superiority.

Countermeasures can keep pace but doesn't mean they can match scale. It's typically going to be easier to mass UAVs who can use standoff munitions than to preposition defensive assets, especially land based ones, in sufficient concentrations which can be countered by adding more UAVs during mission planning. Countermeasures for high performance UAVs, essentially unmanned fighters instead of low tier drones will be very difficult. Advanced US/PRC HALE drones fly much higher and potentially faster, there's a reason counters like DE or various form of jamming target their ordnances at lower attitudes, not high flying, fast flying drones themselves which still requires combination of high performing ground and air based interceptors that can hit high. Except UAVs can tactically operate without life preservation in mind, which means much more permissive/aggressive operations = even more difficult requirements for counter-air infra.

Ultimately it's balance between offense / defensive is matter of industrial base, producing and positioning enough hardware to overwhelm opponents. Effects on battleground will be situational, i.e. large powers can already overwhelm smaller powers, and for peer powers it will be theatre specific, i.e. PRC can more easily overwhelm US carrier groups with mass drones because CSGs has finite VLS cells, power generation etc for defense whereas land based aviation can be massed at scale. Alternatively, PRC's very comprehensive anti-air network might be more easily penetrated by aggressive UAV formations using tactics manned missions won't attempt.

1) has several layers of middlemen that all take cuts along with 2) and 3). Typical LPs for VC funds are often institutional investors like university endowments and pension funds, or they are hedge funds that are themselves funded by university endowments and pension funds. So when #5 happens, the loser is oftentimes not an individual rich person (though family offices participate in this ecosystem as well), but a collection of not-very-rich people that have entrusted their money to a professional money manager.

Very few men are going to sex work purely for the physical aspect. They’re going for an emotional component as well.

It’s a weird argument to say that the cure for incels is to socialize sex work. It’s not going to solve anything. Most men don’t want just sex - they want a relationship too.

The truth of the matter is that we’ve gone past women needing men - and in our current culture… most women don’t really want men regardless of their T levels or role models. They sometimes want the idea of a man (Instagram, TikTok, etc.) but they don’t want the reality.

I don’t think there’s any real cure for this except third spaces coming back and a deemphasis on our extremely commoditized and capitalistic ways. Neither of which will happen for the next 50 years.
Not that I know of, nor did anyone in my family. Got the original vaccine when it came out, and then a booster in early Jan (so the original booster, not the bivalent one). I stopped with the masks altogether back in the spring (with the exception of the dr's office), and was only nominally doing it before that.

I had mild cold symptoms once that I thought could be omicron, but the home test came back negative. Kids have been sick occasionally but negative for them any time we tested too.

The versions of these that I tinker with in my spare time are a little too ambitious to reach fruition as spare-time hobby projects (especially since there's also other stuff that occupies my spare time), but I do sometimes break off bits and pieces that become either smaller hobby projects or products that make me some money.

For example, some of the effort on the 3D stuff ended up in a prototype of a networked multiplayer game. I built that with a Scheme compiler, and the author of the Scheme compiler presented it at a developer conference one year as a way of showing something interesting that could be done with his compiler.

I used one of the implementations of my experimental Lisp in an educational game about resource allocation for the Office of Naval Research. I wrote the rules engine, the event-handling system, and a compiler for those subsystems so that the delivered game didn't need the Lisp to run.
A fair few of these are right hand drive, which is, to put it lightly, a huge pain the rear to deal with. LHD versions are bananas expensive.
