I think App Store revenue is pretty close to hardware revenue at this point, which is absolutely mind-boggling once you consider the volume/margins of the iPhone. 80-odd billion dollars of Developer Program subscriptions and 30% cuts, what a racket.
As a U.K. citizen I’m glad not a penny of our taxes were used for this.

Some of our Euroskeptic MEPs once made a documentary about the spending and waste of EU institutions, and it was eye-opening.

More than €100M is spent each year because, for historic reasons, the EU Parliament decided they would move annually between Strasbourg and Brussels:

It’s a circus.
Okay so New York is complaining about companies offering unreasonable salary ranges... And then they offer $120k - $170k! Like seriously that's a gigantic difference for the same one position.

God damn NYC.
I’ve been using a silicone Stasher bag for my sous vide needs, works quite well.
As well as address clause, unchecked_conversion and address_to_access_conversion. Extremely useful tools that give you the choice when to write risky code, and generate a compiler note exactly where such risk lives.
Conspiracy sees what conspiracy sees. Girlfriend bit and weird behavior was already covered extensively by NYT. He's the CEO with no management practices. Lehman an unmitigated disaster of ethics as you say. I would read this as laying at all at the feet of SBF - which the NYT has done consistently.

Mostly I believe people don't know how to read news vs opinion. Matt Levine can speculate and call him a thief, as he's an opinion journalist. Straight news can have an edge but has to mostly report facts. (edited here to add:) You will notice that each of those paragraphs has quotes, sourced to people. That's called reporting, not deflecting.
Worth noting that the unified memory is shared with the GPU on AS.

Beyond that though, 64gb+ of RAM makes for a great dev machine. :)
Users of iOS don't have that kind of control over their phone. Software is installed (or deleted) at Apple's behest not the user's.
Helping tech talent start a life in Canada
Hey all!

I'm a technical recruiter for a company called Maplr which helps software developers find work and start a new life in Canada. We help tech professionals relocate from abroad to Canada, and provide them with ongoing support and assist them in work permits, visa procedures, housing, insurance, banking, etc before they arrive and during their stay in Canada. We have a community of developers who have immigrated, and constantly get together to discuss your experience and challenges so that you can get advice and support from people who have gone through the journey of life in a new country.

We are constantly hiring people for our core team, and focus on employee well being. We have more information on our website, but at this time we are hiring a lot of different roles like Javascript developers, UX/UI, Scrum Masters etc.

We have information on our website and have informational webinars if you want to learn more about the process or our company.
They do say in the article that they are uninterested in rewriting existing c/c++ code in new languages.

There will continue to be c/c++ applications that will need new features, new bug fixes and new development for decades.

Some of the most fundamental code on the planet for the most critical systems are written in those languages. Also a lot of video game development leans heavily on c++ in particular and that's not going to change very quickly. Big or small enterprise hardware vendors won't change to new languages overnight, abandoning potentially decades of system building experience and supporting processes. There's a cost to even being able to run rust alongside your c/c++ code. Some places may never switch or enable interoperability even for new products.

Learning c/c++ will still be lucrative and a good idea today.
I actually have, and a decent job of this has been done by Iceweasel, but forks aren't allowed to use the branding, let alone the official websites and update mechanism etc.

Also, buying would be just as much about taking control from them as it would be about gaining control. I don't like incompatibilities, but I really hate when extraneous shit gets added to my browser along with the security updates and bugfixes.
> The only solution are distributed dumpsters/large containers, which are not popular because nobody wants a dumpster in from of their building

That's not been the sticking point, empirically. The issue is that the politicians who can implement this don't want to give up the free parking spots.

It's the loss of free parking that's the motivator, not the dumpster itself.
Wow. Very different from my experience. If I'm not using Brave, often the first 5ish results are ads.

If no criticism of the product is allowed because "It's FREE," then why post anything about it? Why be proud of existing for 27 years if its best or only feature is "It's FREE?"

"I don't understand why people don't like it."

"It sucks in these specific ways."

"It's FREE."

Literal feces is free also, but most people aren't excited to receive it as a gift.

GIMP is considerably better than literal feces, but there are alternatives to GIMP in both FOSS and no-cost web-based form that are objectively better and also free, and have taken less than 27 years to get where they are.
The fee on gas is more like nasdaq charging $2 and the broker can't do anything about it.

So the ads you see are just based on country, type of device (windows,linux,macos,android or ios), and your search term, which is the minimum you really need for relevance. But these are not kept in any sort of tracking profile and Brave doesn't know anything about you, or queries across sessions. And unlike most of the search engines out there right now, we are motivated to ensure that the ads do not become a mess that buries organic results.

> Android is not a legacy system and is adopting Rust and seeing security benefits.

> Linux is not a legacy system and is slowly adopting Rust and may see greater use with time.

100% USDA Grade-A Certified Prime BS, as shown by both projects' ages (15+, 30+ years) and maybe the definition of legacy. If you consider legacy to be something you have to keep a certain way so that it functions a certain way, then both are basically legacy technologies. What isn't legacy? I would say projects like Fuchsia and Rust itself aren't legacy because you can move fast and break things there. This also means stuff like C++ is legacy, so there's that too.

I'm a principal-level individual contributor with 14 years of full-stack experience in a wide variety of technologies, languages, and problem spaces.

As a member and founder of a variety of startups, I've worn every hat. This allows me to translate the different languages and perspectives between different departments, allowing me to act as a consensus-builder and communications hub when organizational buy-in is critical.

I've led and developed teams of up to twelve engineers, have many years of experience in a technical product ownership role, and have been fully responsible for the architecture, initial implementation, and ongoing production management and maintenance for systems currently used by millions in the health care space.

These include no-code web builders for forms and whole applications that have saved thousands of developer-hours and millions of dollars, HIPAA-compliant, versioned and fully-auditable data stores, configurable streaming data infrastructure system, and a workflow engine that is responsible for the coordination of a live production application that serves millions.

My main interests outside of tech lie in music, language, biology, and economics, all of which I have experience mixing with my technological skills in various side projects.

I'm available for strategic and architectural consultation, teaching and mentorship, as an individual contributor, and as a senior or director-level engineering manager.
> Doesn't the existence of anorexia (which appears to be socially transmissible) and the fact that people who take up hobbies like bodybuilding are able to manage their fat levels well suggest that environmental contaminants aren't the whole story?

No? Genetics is the best predictor of obesity, but as with drugs any contaminant would have varying degrees of effect on the population, including sometimes a paradoxical effect.

> If there were people getting fat eating broccoli, potatoes, chicken, and salad I would buy the contamination argument, but when you look at what people who have trouble managing their weight actually eat it is never simple foods like that.

And a whole lot of people are not getting fat at all eating foods like and barely exercising. Why do some people have to pay attention to what they eat and others don't? Why has the percentage of the population that is obese increasing?
Fundamentally the argument for “i want to fully control my device” is flawed (actually it’s naive). We do not fully control our devices and haven’t for quite a long time. Especially so for devices that interact with other devices, or rely on integrations that lapse over time (eg 2G networks.)

This type of person is just drawing a line in the sand then falsely labelling it as “full control”, then adding on the rather dangerous commandment: “…and everyone must have it this way because ‘slippery slope and apologists’”

The fact is choice exists and consumer purchasing behaviours are also a demonstration of choice. The successful penetration of these smartphone/ similar devices relies on having different levels of control hard baked into the system - otherwise we are fracturing the ability to have something like the smartphone as a universal minimum.

How many of you folks out there have parents that don’t really use their computer but carry their smartphone everywhere? That’s something to think about.
The fetus and placenta is not self but a mammalian/marsupial precursor animal that evolved live birthing instead of laying eggs co-opted genes from a virus that enables the placenta to hoodwink the mother's immune system during gestation.

This repair mechanism clearly forms part of the code cut-and-paste exercise.
"[A]uto-generated fugue" is a superb phrase for this situation.
It would be 30% of the ebay fee, I suppose. That would be wild though. Would banks be paying 30% of their account fees that are related to actions taken on the iphone?
Mutually Assured (Economic) Destruction. If destroying the TSMC factories is off the table, then China is incentivized to invade (to capture leading edge chip production). If the fabs are destroyed, it would take years to rebuild, which will cripple Chinese production of consumer goods using those chips.

Personally, I would be shocked if the US military doesn't also have a plan to "relocate" strategic personnel to the US in the event of invasion by China.

Optimal | Full-stack and Backend engineers | Full-Time | London, UK | ONSITE but WFH 3 days per week | https://www.optimal.ag/

Optimal are building autonomous greenhouses to grow healthy, sustainable crops.

We've built and deployed software to control the environment within industrial greenhouses. By optimising the inputs to the system given the latest weather forecast and sensor data we are able to more accurately control the climate (temperature, humidity, CO2) of the greenhouse, and have shown that this leads to increased yields whilst reducing resource usage. Our goal long-term is to enable autonomous, sustainable greenhouses to be deployed outside every city on earth.

Open Roles:

Senior MLOps Engineer (£80k-100k + £40-50k of stock options)

Senior Software Engineer (£80k-100k + £40-50k of stock options)

>Great news for the US. Great news for Apple, AMD, and Nvidia. Not so good news for Taiwan. The fact that the whole tech world is dependent on chips produced in Hsinchu is a huge advantage for the safety of Taiwan. Moving the fabs and talent further away from the island will not benefit the people of Taiwan at all.

Naive question, can we relocate the people of Taiwan?

Tesla | Data Engineer | Full-Time | ONSITE (Fremont, CA)

Come join the formation data team at Tesla working on building lithium-ion batteries! Formation is one of the last steps in battery manufacturing where the full cell is charged/discharged for the first time in order to form an SEI layer and generate electrochemical data that can be used to determine cell quality and performance. Our data pipelines consume raw timeseries data from millions of batteries and turn that into critical quality metrics which determine how cells are dispositioned. In this role, you'd be working on a team to build and scale Python-based services across multiple factory sites. Great role for someone who loves building software and wants to use that software to push towards a clean energy future.

Job posting: https://www.tesla.com/careers/search/job/data-engineer-cell-...

Tech Stack: Kubernetes, Kafka, Redis, Docker, Splunk, Clickhouse, Python (Airflow, Celery, FastAPI)
Sure, and I suspect in the case of WFH that is what some of those people really meant.

I'm not sure I'd agree on the reasonableness point.

It's definitely a reasonable preference to have (although this is true of all preferences). To me, the reasonableness ends at trying to make anyone else satisfy that preference.
Hypothetically. Ideally. It would be fractional shares of common stock in a company that included the real estate and all components up until the watts were sold on the wire to the grid operator or long term contract to another party.

Also, ideally, that fractionalization would provide some kind of liquidity and diversification across projects/regions.

All ETFs operate at a level above this. They do not operate entities or even do a great job at modelling assets(go look at the contango of USO((the largest US oil ETF)) and the WTI West Texas oil price it proports to reflect; its trading paper assets with management cost layers beneath and trading fees of all sort, reflected and not).
This is great. Gave me a good chuckle.
Seems like a good prompt to try...
Xerox did it in 2013, changing 6s into 8s in scanned documents: https://www.dkriesel.com/blog/2013/0802_xerox-workcentres_ar...
With regards to secret scanning, a shout-out to the "secret-token" URI scheme https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8959

Also, in addition to showing the creation date of the API key, I find it super friendly if it is possible to name the API key (and/or add a note to it).
Right but in the absence of regulation, I would treat with suspicion e.g. fast food in any plastic container (or waterproofed "paper" container which usually means a plastic layer too).

I consider glass, stainless steel, and cast iron safe, and try to avoid almost anything non stick or plastic for cooking/food storage.
I find it interesting that your complaints are almost totally about the syntax - that is generally the last thing I care about in a language.

When I choose languages, I choose them based on semantics, tooling, community/ecosystem, UX, and then maybe syntax
>I think the fact

That's not a fact, it's a delusion you just invented.

>that a pro-gun target shooter wouldn't seek real therapy

Shooting is real therapy. It's therapeutic.

>is sad since they're a danger to themselves :(

Everyone is a danger to themselves.

>Imagine all the therapy they could have gotten with the money they wasted on guns!

Expendable income and health insurance are two completely different buckets of money.

Three times in a row you've played yourself. You're batting like the Washington Nationals.
I think you have to be careful here, given CNN is likely to label opinions/facts from Fox News as lies, and Fox News is likely to label opinions/facts as lies. False claims of certain emergency events, such as claiming there's a fire or gun shooting, are clearly different than interpretation of political events.
> and effectively making it even LESS maintainable now that it's in some new niche language with a vastly smaller dev pool

How is any language supposed to grow if you're only allowed to use it once everybody does? Somebody has to be first (and google isn't, not by a long shot)
We can also, you know, just decide we won't do that.
