I'm in a similar boat. I bought an ipad because its simply the best tablet and actually gets attention. I didn't want a chromeOS or Windows device. The ipad for me is about 80% there and the other 20% is just not what apple wants.

If this would push that other 20%, I might even consider switching from Android.

As it stands, Android has a lot of free trash on the play store, and Iphone has a lot of paid trash on the app store because apple charges them hundreds per year for the honor of developing on their platform.

On Android, when I need an app with basic functionality, I already check fdroid first for a simple OSS implementation. I don't need my voice recorder to do anything except record audio. I don't need my heart beat monitor to do anything but check my pulse.

I'm hoping this change brings the type of innovation early jailbreak app stores brought that basically test drove features that Apple would copy years later and call "innovative".
Please read the article and avoid the spread of more misinformation. Donor names were NOT provided by the RCMP. The frozen accounts were holding funds that were donated:

> In a statement released Monday, the RCMP said it only provided banks with the names of convoy organizers and the owners of trucks who had refused to leave the protest area. The RCMP said it did not release an exhaustive list of every donation made.

> "At no time did we provide a list of donors to financial institutions," the statement said.

The only reports of accounts being indiscriminately frozen came from hearsay:

> Some Conservative MPs have said constituents have reported that their bank accounts were frozen after they made donations to the convoy protest through one of its crowdfunding campaigns.

Most of the reports were fictitious constituents that "lost bank account access to buy groceries". Nobody was able to independently confirm any of these claims.
> I understand that Google may decide to create their own store and take all their apps with them... this I can see being a very negative thing which may be needs regulation in itself.

What do you mean by "create their own store"? I don't understand this part of your comment.
Minor nit: In a language like Erlang, function calls (including tail recursion) are instrumented to implement things like preemption, GC, and statistics updates. But loops (backward branches) can just as easily be instrumented, and various imperative language runtimes do so.

Erlang is somewhat unusual among contemporaries in how it multiplexes actors onto system threads. This has historically been quite difficult to get 100% right because even if you manage to make all system calls non-blocking (e.g. TCP socket I/O), "non-blocking" disk I/O can still stall computation for a relative eon. I'm pretty excited about io_uring because it provides a general solution to this problem.
I have not used Android in a long time so most of my news about it comes somewhere else.

But unless I am mistaken, a developer on Android is free to handle their own subscription billing, purchases, whatever however they want right?

I have seen some reports that google is tracking to crack down on this, but last I saw it was still far more open for the developers.

If that is correct. Developers are less incentivized to circumvent the Android Store. That incentive exists on iOS if it allows them to use those dark patterns for unsubscribing from an app or anything else.

If I am wrong about android than fine, that incentive doesn't exist and that removes most of my argument (it is still a possibility but the incentive won't be there).
True, a theme explored in Stefan Zweig's Schachnovelle ("The Royal Game")

This particular research is literally built off of weapons research (National Ignition Facility).
Yea I don't get the argument of "Just don't use Apple"

You can like the hardware and not care for the software. It really is A/B at the moment. It's difficult for the average user to choose C. You either allow Google to peer into your life, or trust that Apple's marketing isn't a gimmick and a lot of Apple is e2e encrypted.

From what I read, iCloud backups are finally getting e2e encryption. I see this as the biggest reason to stick with Apple. I trade off full-customizability for better security/experience.

If a jailbreak was available for my iPhone, I'd be on it though.
This is just an Apple PR talking point. You know what existed between the retail stores and the App Store? The internet

We didn’t magically jump from only buying things in stores to only buy things from an App Store. Companies could and still do sell through their own website and through other places.
It was happening for decades. Unclear how the war affects it now, but I believe most RU hardware (cryo and magnets) was already delivered/installed.
So, the issue is that the community here has grown old, cynical and unable to appreciate anything that might only help the next generations?
This is quite frankly awesome.

Now if it's sustainable, we could definitely use the power to do desalination plants here on the west coast, since it's a super energy hungry process. And the hydrogen/deuterium could come from the salt water its processing. Then, it's just a matter of what to do with the salt generated.
Don't you mean:

> mandated side loading

In what respect does any phone currently on the market have "mandated side loading"?
F-Droids official repo also does strong curation really well in my experience. Searching the Play Store usually surfaces some SEO-gamed garbage apps. Pretty much all Android apps I use from the Play Store were at friend recommendations. F-Droid has some issues (specifically, they have a very big requirement that all APKs must be build by their server, which has some issues and locks their official repo down to FOSS apps), but even just on the surface their curation is just so much better. And hey, if I don't like something, I can literally just plug in any arbitrary URL I want and as long as it points to a repository, it'll show up as valid.

From what I've heard the Apple App Store isn't much better in this regard, except there you just don't have the option to ignore it (and the jailbreaking community seems more open, except the same "pay for every tiny thing" culture that plagues iOS has made it way over to that platform).

The EU forcing Apple to open up iOS should ideally result in a more fair, better curated ecosystem of smaller app stores and the development of apps that people actually want to use rather than apps that exist to make exciting number go up at an ad agency. There'll be some initial blowback, but the long-term benefits will be that much better for mobile phones on the whole (which to be frank, is desperately needed).

It also gives a secondary avenue for apps against Apple's app store guidelines, which have been noted in the past to basically be completely arbitrary (the main examples of this are the fact that Apple plays censor for VPNs in some countries, Steve Jobs telling people that want to have NSFW apps on their iPhone to "go buy an android", the last policy still leading to numerous social media apps getting in trouble because an app reviewer found something NSFW (this is why Tumblr banned NSFW) and for a very specific example of a game that somehow kept violating the guidelines: the iOS port of the Binding of Isaac was rejected for over a year because Apple wanted to play moral guardian, there's also the completely unreasonable ban on allowing emulation and really I could continue on and on about how absurd this is).
The problem I have with this announcement is how limiting this technology path is to the future generation of power. If you look at the details, they imploded a sphere containing hydrogen with X-rays created by the interaction of the lasers with an outer casing. As a reminder, the second stage of an hbomb is the implosion of a cylinder of hydrogen, encased by uranium, by x-rays ablating the outer case. X-Rays produced by the explosion of a A-Bomb. The lasers are thus serving as a proxy for the first stage of a H-bomb.

The critical question, how much of this design is to figure out how to produce energy from fusion with the aim of powerplant design, and how much of the design is to better replicate the second stage of a h-bomb?

Edit: I'll have to research, but I would have to expect that the announcement of the h-bomb had language that also heralded this as the beginning of a 'fusion age' of power generation.
The studies done ten years ago suggested that the best case scenario was about thirty years( one demonstration phase of 15 years and another development phase of 15 years). This was premised on the INF demonstrating ignition using indirect drive soon after operation. There was also an expectation that the INF would transistion to researching other, possibly more promising technologies like direct drive ignition.

Instead, it took over ten years to simply demonstrate ignition using the indirect drive method which was chosen specifically because it was seen as being more technologically viable. This "big breakthrough" was supposed to happen immediately after operation!

No one knows whether commercialization of inertial confinement fusion is even possible. Laser efficiency is just one small part; the work to produce and develop a system to reliably shoot hohlraum targets is an order of magnitude harder than shooting a static target in ideal conditions.

Compared to these engineering challenges demonstrating ignition is the easy part.
I don't think that's relevant to the point - you can't easily reproduce a nordics style e-identity system if you don't have a pre-existing national ID system.
A narrow distinction, but Hydra is Postgres - we only install an extension - while Greenplum and Redshift are forks but remain Postgres-compatible (to varying degrees). I'm not up on when Greenplum last merged updates from Postgres, but I would be concerned that it only runs on Ubuntu 18.04. If you have a look at the Greenplum install in ClickBench[1], you'll see it's not a typical Postgres setup. Hopefully we will be able to beat Greenplum straight-up soon. :)

Redshift is multi-node, which puts it in a different category -- with considerably higher costs.

Honestly, I disagree. I'm currently on a mac where I can live the walled garden lifestyle if I choose, but sometimes I want to install an app which is experimental, open source etc. Sure, I get it, macOS predates the iOS App Store, but so does iOS. The very first apps to run on an iPhone had to be side-loaded, there was no App store at launch for the iPhone.

> Populations are not reacting in the same way everywhere. 55% of Australians (+24 pts) mentioned the flooding that hit their country this year. Nevertheless, their sense of being confronted with climate change is still lower than elsewhere and is not growing.

Australia is often hit with floods and fire events almost every year so they have a "everything just as it should be" feel, even if they are getting worse.

I think Australia will often be skeptical but we do have a baby state mentality so gradual changes just need to be implemented and made for us.

Just this year there's some takes of banging single use plastic for instance. (Not saying it's an effective rule or that it works, just that we've implemented it and seem to be following it)
I recently built a largish shed in my back yard and although it's obviously far simpler than an actual house, it has many of the same core elements (including balloon framing), and it really struck me that someone like me could go from idea to a reasonably well done shed with only a little past experience plus some
Googling. The traditional mortise-and-tenons approach would have far exceeded my time budget and probably been too far beyond my skill level.

The most eye opening bit of learning for me was also mentioned in the article:

"The skin of the building, which previously only served as a barrier to keep the elements out, now also braces the wood stud walls, increasing their load bearing capacity."

Prior to sheathing, the framing is downright rickety!
The federal highway system funding originated as a method of defense. Unless the military switches to using rail for transport then throwing highway funding into the military budget seems fine to me.
Not sure if this is allowed, but @OP I have an extra phone (oneplus 7 pro) that I'd be happy to give you if you need. It has a cracked screen but works well otherwise. If you're in the US I can probably ship it to you?
It is, though. It's about half as bad on Mars (since the planet physically blocks half the sky) but it remains a showstopper. And trying to shield against it runs you into the problem of getting heavy construction equipment to Mars, plus you run afoul of rules against contamination that we're bound by international treaty to follow, including a ban on digging.
It might be less bad than the other things we do to animals, but it's still pretty horrifying. You could conclude we should give hens higher priority, but I'd say we should place more importance on reducing cruelty of all kinds.

> I understand that Google may decide to create their own store and take all their apps with them... this I can see being a very negative thing which may be needs regulation in itself. IDK what that would look like, but I don't use Google anyways because I have no trust in them. I don't trust them in the App Store so I wouldn't trust them with their own store.

If you already don't trust them in the App Store, why would you trust them in their own store to begin with? Sounds to me like you shouldn't use Google apps to begin with.

Most of their apps are very replaceable and with the arbitrary restrictions forcibly peeled back, the sole service that you can only get from them (YouTube) can finally get an iOS equivalent of NewPipe that doesn't need a hacked phone to be installed.

I want to use an SD card for my printer in case Windows decides to self-update, despite me setting it to not do this automatically, and I don't want to fail in the middle of my print. Hosting the GCODE can also cause issues if your computer lags a bit. The printer will sit, with a hot nozzle dripping plastic below, until the next command arrives. This shouldn't typically be a problem, but sometimes systems can lag hard, and who wants a needless blob of filament on the surface of their print?

"If you tell a police officer that you did a crime, then your words are admissible as evidence against you."

This is because the people who wrote the evidence rules believe nobody would admit to a crime unless they are guilty. So it's a hearsay exception.

The exception isn't meant to be a sinister trick to treat you unfairly, it's meant to lead to the right people going to jail and the right people not going to jail.

This is a good process to ensure you don’t hire anyone who is currently employed. I would not sign up for this even if I was between jobs unless I was desperate. I don’t mind coding challenges, etc, but the first few weeks at any job is mostly scut work getting things set up, meeting people, etc.

As much as I approve of a skillset to analyze local logs, but after a relatively small scale (10-20 systems), a central decent log aggregation like opensearch or ELK just brings so much value even on 1-3 nodes. It'd be one of the first changes I make to an infrastructure because it's so powerful.

And its not just log searching and correlation value. At work, the entire discussion "oh but we need access to all servers because of logs" just died when all logs were accessible via one web interface. I added a log aggregation and suddenly only ops needed access to servers.

Designing that thing with accessibility and discoverability in mind is a whone nother topic though.

Also worth remembering that nature is a cruel mistress to animals herself. Heck, animals can be pretty cruel to other animals even if they don't kill them. Heck, animals can be cruel to their own species (see adult male bears happily devouring their young if possible).
The "weeder" course isn't intended to be symbolic. It tends to be a course that can only be offered after the students have gotten through the basic math cycle, i.e., 3rd year, and is heavily mathematical / theory oriented. I taught it once as an adjunct -- Electrodynamics in the EE department.

Teachers are fully aware that a "weeder" course is a problem, and make a sincere effort to get as many students through as possible. But nonetheless it results in a lot of attrition.

I live in Illinois, where it's a statewide requirement for graduation.
I was unable to find the salary anywhere (It seems that nobody though that it could be an interesting data for the candidates, so I assume that is subpar). Most documents written in Galician only, Spanish seems totally absent and only a few pages were translated to English.

Having all of this in mind, this phrase was not a big surprise:

"En 06/06/2022 quedou deserta esta praza por falta de candidatos que cumpran
os requisitos, polo que resulta necesario facer de novo esta convocatoria para cubrir o posto"

If you speak Galician can read: "Due to lack of candidates to comply the requirements in 06/06/2022 it is necessary to make this call again [October] to cover the position."

(It means also that the EU money granted for hiring somebody in this period of time has vanished and can't be recovered so the job offer is now for 8 months, instead a full year).
The difference that we're seeing here is a "user can request a refund easily" vs "developer can refund something to a user."

Apple balances on the assumption of the stability of their developers offering subscriptions and an easier experience for a user requesting a refund.

The difficulty that the developer is having in this case is that Apple isn't exposing the payment information to the developer. If they can say "this user gets a refund" that is leaking some information about the users to developers.

(...)

Additionally, it appears that there were some new methods added to the in-app library for developers to be able to create a refund request on behalf of a user.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/transacti...

> Call this function from account settings or a help menu to enable customers to request a refund for an in-app purchase within your app. When you call this function, the system displays a refund sheet with the customer’s purchase details and list of reason codes for the customer to choose from.
