The U.S. military doesn't stage any assets in Taiwan, not since shortly after rapprochement with China and establishment of the current strategic ambiguity. The U.S. military is very careful about both what and who it officially permits to land on Taiwan. Occasionally (on the order of years) there are borderline cases, such as a research vessel with U.S. Navy ties docking in Taiwan, and it becomes a huge thing in the Chinese media. AFAIU, high-level officers are rarely if ever given permission to enter Taiwan; direct military liaisons in Taiwan are limited to lower level staff officers. When this protocol is broken it's a tit-for-tat situation designed to send a message, and doesn't change anything of substance in how the relationship operates.

Anyhow, the U.S. has no need nor desire to establish a presence on Taiwan. Okinawa and Korea are more than close enough for its purposes, peaceful or otherwise. And if the U.S. were to try to establish a presence, you can be sure China's invasion fleet would reach Taiwan before any significant U.S. materiel could make it ashore.
That is true! And I get it that calendar years are easier to get your head around (2023 plan rather than specific dates).

By continuous I mean end of year shouldn’t be to special, you could have a rolling plan and amend it every month with offsite when it is felt that brainpower is needed and especially more grassroots input is needed.
Have you tried Vaultwarden? (Ex bitwarden_rs). It is in Rust and it's absolutely fantastic.

I self host it for a year or two and it is a single container. The BW officer docker distribution is a nightmare.

Add to that a proxy with caddy and you get a great solution.
The section 230 seems pretty fraught no matter what side you take. I'm curious how you could write the law better than it is now, and of course how you enforce it. Twitter and Facebook for most if not all their decisions would argue that they took content down for clear violation of their terms of service, not because of a political viewpoint.

Does reddit successfully get around this by having subreddits with independent moderators? i.e. according to the Texas Law, could someone enact the law if they live in Texas and are moderated out of say the /r/conservative subreddit for being liberal.

The Microsoft Store now allows you to use your own payment processing to avoid giving them a cut at all (https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/06/24/build...). They also allow the installation of other app stores.

Microsoft has been overly keen to open up their own store on Windows to use as a cudgel against Apple in future courtroom cases such as the Epic one.

> If anything, I suspect that Coinbase intentionally violated the rules with this update

so I'm thinking they don't have a product and they know it. This NFT product was supposed to be so hot their servers couldn't take it!

https://www.gfinityesports.com/cryptocurrency/coinbase-nft-w...

so what gives? I think someone is lying here. Maybe even bad enough someone could get fired if this doesn't get turned around. And if that's the case, it seems plausible to me that someone looked at 30% of "their" revenue going to Apple and just said fuck it.
I recommend using the American keyboard layout if you're doing anything remotely programming related, otherwise all the special characters are just way too annoying (even though personally there's also a few of those in the American layout that are suboptimal, but a keyboard only has so much space...).

If you frequently find yourself needing German (or other European) symbols like ä then you can also look into using EurKEY [1] which is basically the American layout but gives you easy access to the "umlauts".

Yes, the default display is.
Some const features seem like big anti-patterns though. One example is the unstable feature `generic_const_exprs` which I think is a bit short-sighted.
This reminds me of the last time Coinbase had its app removed from the app store in 2013. Our secure messaging app, Gliph, had the ability to send bitcoin and was still live in the App Store.

Our companies shared an investor, and our app was the first to implement Coinbase's API. Between that and SF Bitcoin meetups, I interacted with Brian regularly enough and the App Store was a common topic because in that first year of funding for crypto, the goal was generally find a way to breaking Bitcoin mainstream. (It seemed like it might happen soon, but was in fact still quite early.)

After some press, Apple took our app down. I blogged about it [0], (I believe the first survey of App Store policy toward bitcoin) and that got picked up by Tech Crunch. [1]

I remember speaking with Brian about it on the phone. Apple's objection was on legality of sending Bitcoin in the regions our app was available, so I suggested we could file a legal brief as part of our appeal.

Brian's response was they had already tried that and that Apple was unswayed by their brief. There wasn't much we could really do other than commiserate on being under the thumb of the App Store.

Those were some heady, yet comparatively innocent days in crypto compared to now.

One tip - get some ovulation sticks. My wife and I never realised but the egg is actually only around for a single day - it must be fertilised in those 24 hours. If you have sex after that there is zero chance of conceiving, sperm can hang around so you can conceive with sex a few days before. But outside that really small window you are wasting your time. The actual accurate window is massive guess work - some women are not that regular with ovulation. Ovulation sticks tell you exactly what’s going on - tell you when ovulation is coming, so that’s when you have lots of sex.
Before we used them we basically had sex loads (outside this window) which was worse than nothing as it makes you less likely to be going hard in the right window. First time we used the sticks she got pregnant immediately.

We had a friend who had been trying for 8 years to have a kid, told us she was just about giving up and thinking of adoption. We asked if she used the ovulation sticks - “what are they??” We gave her the rest of ours and a couple of months later she was pregnant, now has a baby. So yeah, these things don’t seem to be as well known as they should be, and can be a massive help.
forex transaction fees, which is different from forex transaction value.

yeah arguably if apple wanted to say "you're doing a forex trade in app, TD Ameritrade makes $10 in fees on that $20k transaction, we deserve $3 of that, and it needs to be paid via our IAP scheme" that's a consistent application of their rules at least.

again though, coinbase's PR department is doing what PR departments do, they've got you talking like coinbase would be charged 30% of the whole transaction and that's not actually what Apple is saying here... just like it turns out Qualcomm may not have been entirely honest about ARM's licensing changes and many of the specifics of EVGA's complaints are highly misleading or specific to their (atypical) business model, despite a generally-correct thrust.

Like, kinda funny that grown-ass adults don't understand that a literal PR department might not always be presenting the situation entirely fairly... and this is a business community we're discussing that in, no less. You need to apply critical thinking about why someone might be saying things now, and why they're saying them in that particular way... they're happy to lead you into a wrongful conclusion even if they themselves haven't said anything technically wrong: that is the conclusion they intended for you to draw and you consumed the information uncritically and you did draw that conclusion. They walked you right down the garden path there, give that PR guy a raise.

Just like Sony can argue for app-store openness on Apple's platforms but argue they shouldn't have to open their own platform to competitors too... they want to keep their 30% cut but force their competitors to give up theirs. And no, consoles are not sold at a loss anymore, PS5 hit hardware profitability around 6 months after launch...
Neither the Open Markets Act or the Digital Markets Act will do anything about Apple's commission. You can have alternative app stores, sideloading, whatever. It doesn't change anything about using Apple's intellectual property and having to pay for it. All it will do is make the products worse for users. But developers aren't going to get the outcome they want, which is to ride the rails for free.
> Maybe there is a vector animation tool that is as easy to use as Flash was, but that fact that we rarely see vector animations like we did back in the day makes me think not.

Doesn't the animation tool still exist just not under the name "flash"?

My understanding is that the free browser plugin to view the animations that got killed, but the the actual animation software that was used to produce them got bought by adobe and is still widely used to produce animations, it just doesn't have the option to produce swf files anymore (and even during the flash plugin era it was also being used to produce animations for tv, etc.).
Side note : it’s nice to see that Mastodon reached the point where you could point at it for stuff completely unrelated to Mastodon. Good job HN!
Transaction fees are currently $0.50. I doubt we’ll see such high gas fees after switching to proof-of-stake.
> Are you still feeling this way or are you feeling better now?

To be honest, I am feeling even worse than the first day I called in sick. I haven't had any noteworthy mental health help in the 9 months. Like I said in another comment, my employer denies that he is (co-)responsible for my situation. So they just don't really help me out. And without my own funds this seems neigh impossible because of waiting lists.
Also, there are several different ways to pass self: `self`, `mut self`, `&self`, `&mut self`, and they have very different semantics.

Rust could have taken the C++ route here: `fn static foo()`, `fn foo()`, `fn mut foo()`, `fn &mut foo()`, etc. but I feel like the explicit `self` is very clear and easy to understand.
It would be the silliest legal move to make any concessions until forced to by a court. If they indicate that they don't need that full 30% in enough different contexts, it will lend credence to a larger argument against 30% at all.

Disagree with it or not, were I Apple Legal, I would never in a million years allow a concession without a fight.

But will we? Those of us who have been alive long enough to know what life was like before any of this may choose not to. But our youngest generation, and those to come, may grow up not knowing any different.

Not suggesting it will happen, but it is an unappealing thought.
A simple heuristic that I expect to work universally is "could I write a program that prints to my terminal on a linux machine?" and if the answer is "yes" then it does not fit.
That's a pretty story, and does not match North American practices. They vary tremendously, and extend well into the demonic.

I'm sure there is at least once slaughterhouse in Europe doing that. I am skeptical that it uniformly matches European practices, but I'm not well informed on that topic.
Google will just acquire those startups, more than likely.
If I were a Coinbase and iphone user, I would be irate. I'm neither but that's besides the point.

Will Apple demand 30% of bank transfers made with a bank app? 30% of a firstborn if the hookup happened on Tinder?

Just use an IDE and you can press alt+enter. Same thing you do in Java when writing getters and setters for your AbstractFactoryBeans.

> "let mut" could have been "var"

The "mut" does not belong to the "let", it belongs to the variable name.

let (read_only, mut read_write) = (1, 2);

> Passing "self" as the first argument was bullshit

Explicit is better than implicit. I quite like the names in the argument list to match the set of names available in the function, rather than having an extra keyword (`static`) that you add to remove a function parameter.

You’re saying boring is popular which goes against the principles of aesthetics. People think pretty things are better quality. You do too.

Boring gets forgotten and replaced. Boring is not ubiquitous.

Notice how zed Shaw tried that quixotic ugly website trend. Supposedly that’s what the world wanted. The world ignored it.

I know what you mean tho. Boring refers to old tech vs new hype. The issue is they used the word “boring” to denote “mature” software, and that’s where it all went wrong.

Bad form.
Agreed. I would be shocked if an entity like CERN would not be able to support something like FORM out of grant overhead.

Universities tend to track scientists’ publication records

Yet another example of administrators imposing a one-size-fits-all rule and elevating convenience over quality. Every academic I know hates how academia works, but they balk every time I suggest networking with people outside their disciplinary silos to dethrone the administrators. It's like the smartest people in the world are stymied by the idea of a collective action problem that requires working across disciplinary boundaries. For a long time I thought I was missing something fundamental about the complexity of the issue, but after 10 years of asking it seems to literally be that individuals are afraid of getting punished and they don't have any ideas beyond supporting the occasional strike action (that will leave things more or less as they are). I don't get it.

Extra RAM is always cool. I'm at a job now that has a shared dev environment powered by Docker. Our Monolith runs in about a dozen different containers. I have a 16GB M1 Pro, and performance is _okay_ giving it half of my resources. Had I known how this performs, I would have pushed for a 32GB machine. As is, if we continue to grow, things could get slow in another year or two.

Could we optimize the local stack more to use less resources? Probably, but it probably isn't worth our time. Until then, more RAM is good. There are plenty of users out there that have more needs than me. Giving them a solution to their problems is a step in the right direction.

> You trust random people on the street?

I'm no crypto fan but this is a strange question. Yes, generally people trust each other on the street. If I were walking and someone dropped something, I would (at least attempt to) hand it back to them. Same as if I visit a new store, I generally trust the cashier or storeowner not to take my money and run.
Why don't companies just get ahead of apple here, decamp from the app store, and heavily advertise a web app instead? Most of these apps need online connectivity anyway, so having a native app isn't all that useful.
Should apple also take 30% of every Venmo transaction I make? If I use my iphone to do a check deposit to my bank account, should apple take 30% of that?

It's pretty remarkable that despite Feynman Diagrams being invented in the 1950s, before computers and computer science, they are still state of the art so many years later. It was back at the time where physicists did most calculations by hand.

You'd have thought something more efficient would've turned out by now, since there was barely a sensible definition of efficiency back then.

I propose: In human communication, there is a serious problem (in addition to many others, like dodging questions) with a delta between what is actually said, what is interpreted by the other party, and the willingness of all parties to acknowledge that this phenomenon is in play.

Indeed. For example this discussion started when I actually said that journalists and police officers took Epstein Island seriously, in response to another commenter suggesting people would have just dismissed Epstein Island as a conspiracy theory.

There is a problem in human communication (or human-bot communication) when one party refuses to acknowledge that the seriousness of some policemen and journalists might be well-evidenced by the phenomenon of many newspaper reports detailing Jeffrey Epstein's arrest and prosecution, and instead of accepting or at least offering an alternative interpretation of the phenomenon[1], rejects it on the basis they don't have "knowledge of all the activities of all those people" and giggling to themselves about how normies' claims rely on omniscience.

This problem is typically resolved by ceasing the communication.
Stable Diffusion with Core ML on Apple Silicon
I wonder if this is lifted from a React tutorial, or if it is an amalgamation of other things.

The big question is: whose code is this? Is it, verbatim, someone else's copyrighted code (assuming a snippet like that is novel enough to be copyrightable)? Or is it derived from someone else's code? And if it's derived, is it a derivative work in the legal sense, or is it no more derivative than if a human had read a tutorial or some documentation and then later written code like it?
That's not true.

In three plies (one sided moves) of chess, there are over eight thousand possible games. By making the game 960 times as wide before you start you're not meaningfully changing the impact of memorization on the outcome of the game. You're just changing how deep you memorize the various trees.

You can say, "well then, mission accomplished!" but the reality is that most of the tree memorization goes pretty deep at the highest levels before a new game is found because you're in effect following the games before it or you're blundering, or, at best, gambling if you've found something kinda unexpected and interesting.

Put another way, any given top rated chess player has a finite set of possible game memorizations. Introducing a mere 960 new configurations at move 0 is only trading 2 to 4 plies worth of depth to the game. It's more complicated than that, because board positions can be essentially forced and board positions can overlap between pre-configurations, etc. But that's the essence of my argument.

You're not meaningfully changing the impact of memorization on the outcome of the game, even if one thousandth sounds like a lot, it isn't really when dealing with permutations.
Problem is who gets to decide what is best for the company?

In many organisations most people may not have enough information to really know what is best for the whole organisation, even if they do have good ideas about their part.

And top executives often can't be trusted to act in the best interest of the company (rather than that of the shareholders, the stock market or themselves...). Short term vs longterm is also very imporant, the best way to make a quick buck today is often at odds with what is needed to remain relevant in 5 or 10 years.
I never understand perspectives like these. The OP's statement was "having children is not expensive". How does "people had it worse a thousand years ago" relate to that? Surely by that logic we can't take issue with any facet of modern life?
