> Is that the internal name Apple uses for bug reports?

Yes, but also all other types of progress tracking.

> why would Apple ignore radars like this?

The only Radars I've filed to other teams that actually got any traction are clear-cut bugs with a simple repro that don't require any UI/design changes to fix. Without a repro & sysdiagnose the engineers will likely never even read through the whole bug report before discarding it.

In general my view is that a lot of Apple engineers are stretched pretty thin and don't really have time to work on that kind of stuff with the pretty quick pace that a yearly OS release schedule imposes on them (supporting redesigns, new UIs, new hardware). If a bug is caught immediately it's considered a regression and there's a higher chance it'll get fixed, but issues that are around for >1 year without being flagged back to the engineers responsible are unlikely to ever be prioritized.

The most unlikely "bugs" to ever get fixed are design issues that aren't really considered bugs in the first place, like the FaceTime audio ducking issue I mentioned above. For reference, when you're on a FaceTime call the OS (both iOS and macOS) will heavily dampen all other audio to the point where it's pretty unintelligible even at 100% volume. There's no way to fix it because it's Working as Intended(TM) and the Apple designer knows what customers want more than you, the other engineers, or the customers themselves. It's been around for years and has had dozens of Radars filed internally and externally but no progress has been made.

The Teslas have these besides the back massager which I probably wouldn't miss... I do wish the main console had better physical buttons and Car Play/Android Auto, though.
If Go is a feasible option [1], each service could be structured as its own module, with all of its private data and types placed in packages inside the module's special internal/ package, which has special support from the compiler:

> internal/ is a special directory name recognised by the go tool which will prevent one package from being imported by another unless both share a common ancestor. Packages within an internal/ directory are therefore said to be internal packages.

https://dave.cheney.net/2019/10/06/use-internal-packages-to-...

It'd be the responsibility of the owner of each service to opt-in and put private things in their internal/ package, and not expose them as part of the service's module's public interface to other modules.

More generally, if you have a lot of influence over how your services are written and maintained, even for languages and tooling that doesn't give you a built-in way to enforce that external dependencies on private details of other components are not introduced, it might not be that hard to write a custom linter script to analyse all the imports in your project and fail the build if any change introduces a forbidden dependency.

Re: running things in a single process. With Go, suppose you craft a number of services wrapped in their own packages with well-designed public interfaces, and all private details hidden via the compiler-enforced internal/ package mechanism. There are still scenarios where the modularity can be horribly broken, and the implementation details matter, especially if you're running everything on a single machine or in a single process: e.g. suppose the private internals of one service want to leak all of the TCP buffer memory or open all the file handles, that'll likely break the internals of some other service that is competing for the same shared resources. Similarly, suppose some internal code deep in the bowels of one service triggers a panic inside a goroutine that isn't trapped, then the go runtime will react by terminating the whole process, taking down all of your services. The language-level modularity doesn't give you a way to enforce that services running in the same process or in the same machine can't trash shared resources.

[1] Go is a pretty good fit for writing backend web services, and less of a good fit for, say, shipping mobile apps, or prototyping machine learning algorithms.
I just flashed one of my keyboards with the "official" ZMK layout and it's so much better. I must have missed quite a few settings when I tried replicating it myself. I can't notice the delay at all.
That's a good idea. We like to think that subscription services foments this idea of exploration; after all, it makes the traditional process of finding, purchasing, installing, and finally playing shorter and smoother.

Why not?
This completely misses the boat on pizza, which is funny coming from a self-described pizza aficionado. Nobody gives a shit if their papa johns or dominoes pizza would be imperceptibly better were it transported in a better vessel. That's not why you order pizza delivery.

Not satisfied with ruining beer, bourbon, barbecue, and many other formerly enjoyable "every man" staples, now people have moved on to ruining pizza with a completely unnecessary level of snobbery.

I have paid for 2nd hand car about 3k. Can imagine to buy new one for 20k but as someone who does not use it daily, 45k seems crazy for a car.
An impressive amount of work has gone into that repo! Presumably, loading those modules taints the kernel, but that's a fair compromise for the functionality gained. Some of them e.g. 8852BE appear to be making their way into 6.1.

How's the battery life across different workloads?
That's not true, it works great in production and is used all over.
Obligatory "If Mastodon Existed In The 80s" video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV8Q0WOYoag

Yes, the video description references the same project.
Sure, but "not being explicit" is very different than the way OP phrased it ("WoTC says in this post") -- it made me think I'd missed some explicit mention of it.

FWIW, I don't even believe they ever wanted to try to claw back e.g. the 3.5 SRD, so I'm not as concerned as other folk here. (But it's also clear that if they have no such intent, they'd need to make it legally binding for folk to trust them.)
Here's the standard playbook for dealing with this:

- Let hobbyists and tiny companies pirate your software. You don't have to encourage it, but you can still turn a blind eye. They weren't going to pay you anyways, and this is a good way to get people familiar with your products.

- Ruthlessly go after mid-large sized companies if you find their employees pirating your software. They have money to pay, and will be happy to do so (at least in the face of legal threats).

The interesting part is that the first demographic (students, hobbyists, tiny companies) directly feeds into the second when they start working corporate jobs. So in that sense piracy is sometimes a key part of the sales funnel. This is exactly how companies like Microsoft and Adobe have been able to maintain complete hold on the market.
The majority of long covid is fake though. It will be suffered by the same hypochondriacs that had gluten intollerance last decade and dust allergies before that. You are are that the definition of long covid is along the lines of "anything that can't be explained that happened after a covid infection" absolute horseshit propagandized by the media. Show me some biomarkers and I'll start paying attention.
200-400 is the sweet spot, I've found.
With newaudiotechnology.com we eventually switched to using USB sticks as dongles.

The reason is that we noticed some paying users were cracking it, too, because our licensing system didn't allow dual boot or having a workstation and a laptop.

But our licenses were supposed to be per user and people wanted to carry our software around with them. If setup correctly, the same USB stick is now used both as licensing dongle and it also contains installers for Windows and Mac.
There is an argument for it: the best technologies start out expensive and even kind of crappy and only reach the people who really want (or need, in B2B) it. Then the important features get shaken out, and as mfg comes down the learning curve the production cost drops and the price does too (to build share).

So if you can increase the number of people who participate in the early stage the technology will come down the learning curve faster, which is good for everyone (except the legacy producers, in the case of a replacement technology). In other words society can get a lot of leverage from the subsidy.

Of course that's the best case, and there are opportunities for regulatory capture etc.

I bought my first electric car around 2000 or 1999. No subsidies back then and the product was crappy. Tesla started selling subsidized cars that were adequate to enthusiasts, what, a decade later. The environment was different: not just the subsidies but technological infrastructure. You had to put up with the limitations of Tesla, but it was a viable product.

Now there are many more manufacturers of electric cars, mostly better than T. So T has to scramble (if they can, which I doubt, but whatever). So this case is a net positive, IMHO.

The fossil fuel industry propered due to extensive subsidies, and that was also a very good thing (among other things it cleaned up cities and saved the whales). But they should have been withdrawn long ago. That is an extreme example of regulatory capture.
> How do I get that power into my gadgets?

Wires and the proper size plug tip.

> There is no option for buying a bag of 1000 tips.

Incorrect. You can buy the tips, but yes, buying 1000 different sized tips will be costly.

I.e., example:

https://www.amazon.com/Mintata2019-Universal-Female-Adapter-...

More digging can uncover even larger packs of "tips".

You just need to make sure the "tips" you obtain all match for the method you use for attaching to the power supply.

Also, be careful with polarity with this method, it will be very easy to get the 'tip' attached with reverse polarity using this method, and not all devices will be protected against reverse polarity.
Their cloudfront bill seems quite low for their scale. I wonder what's the rate they are paying.
Some people make things as deep as they can handle. If you reduce the pain from deep hierarchies, you will inevitably end up with deeper hierarchies.

Also, doesn't your example prove my point?

I'm saying focus on types leads to deeper hierarchies. Your example has types and a deep hierarchy.
I wonder about this too. I don't have exact numbers, but it's obvious that the number of semi trucks on the roads has increased year after year for the past 20 years. Surely that increase has an impact on some of the same stats that the article finds alarming.

Focusing on this, for me at least, isn't a form of "whataboutism." I'm just curious about what semis look through the same lens.

While the data I've seen suggests that training and licensing help reduce the number of accidents involving semi truck, it doesn't eliminate accidents. As the number of semi trucks on the roads increases so do the number of accidents involving semi trucks.

I'm also curious about injuries and fatalities. It's relatively easy to find stats for all motor vehicle based injuries and deaths. Tt's much harder to find how many of those involved semi trucks and passenger vehicles.

My prediction: though collisions between semi trucks and light vehicles happens less than light vs. light, the percentage of serious injury or death is much higher between semi and light. If the number of semis are increasing over time, so are the number of injuries and deaths.
You could take the same approach as 1Password and move the valuable parts of your product into the cloud. It will make you immune to piracy, but your customers will absolutely hate you for it and may leave altogether.

Bureaucracy-induced frustration predates computers by centuries.
Maybe the weed induced ideas weren't worth the effort?
So insidious that it becomes yet another thing to not worry about because what’s the point?
Apple's legendary "amazing UX" is really bad a lot of the time.
It is very easy to implement with code. Chess computers are some of the first well-known computer programs (see, for example, Deep Blue).

What is difficult is adapting chess's rules to this analog environment. It would be similarly difficult if you played this way with a real chess set in the real world, has nothing to do with code.
Why buy performance "California Camry"? Just buy model Y. You gonna get bullied if you drive Cali Camry aka Model 3 :)
What rcme seems to be pointing out is that in normal chess only pawns can en passant, whereas if you grew the size of the pawn non-pawn prices would also be able to take it.
Are you sure it can't learn?

If it gives you incorrect information, you can correct it and it will give you the correct information in subsequent questions. Is that not learning?
>The subsidies, both explicit and implicit, in the meat industry in the US helps disguise income inequality

This right here is the key and its just not meat. So many foodstuffs are nothing but sugar and corn. It makes you think that you are wealthy since you have so much food to choose from. The reality is that it is disguising the increasing devaluing of the dollar + decades of income stagnation.

Now you got me on a rant:

With the rising costs of everything due to what CEOs claim is "inflation", we are seeing this reduction in quality in everything we buy.

I would protest this by only buying locally and spending as few dollars as I can just to stick it to the man and this captured government that we have but the fact that year after year the currency is being whittled away to 0 means I lose no matter what I do.

So what can I do to preserve the effort spent to earn that wealth? Can't invest in stocks, the market is down and so I could lose, don't want to spend the money and reward all these CEOs who have been price gouging and selling us products with quality fade. Maybe buy real estate? I will probably lose on that as well. There seems to be no escape, I am trapped with no recourse.
So true. iTunes was great back 10 years ago or so but today it’s just awful. Just like so much other Apple software. They’ve got huge issues, I’d guess with developer retention and culture.
Isn’t integrating services with the OS the whole point of Android for Google?

They aren’t licensing technology to handset vendors, they just are keeping the numerically larger but profitability smaller sector of the smartphone business safe for advertising.
At least the old itunes wouldn't randomly jump into a fullscreen video player (!??) for some fraction of songs in my library.
Pretty sure that it very noticeably results in lower costs. People often literally cannot figure out how to get through the voice recognition system to reach a human customer support person.

So the companies save money by then cutting the size of their call centers.

It’s going to sound like a trope, but having discovered Svelte yesterday, I don’t understand how I ever could see React as "fine" anymore.

In general with reals with any source of error anywhere, this caution about equality is always correct. the odds of two reals being equal is zero.
> It seems like a lot of people were misunderstanding the terms of the license due to people not being familiar with them.

I’m not sure if you are satirical here. But just to be clear that part of the leaked agreament was crystal clear. They would have had the right to throw your book in a photocopier and start selling the copies. They would have even had the right to sell the same right to a third party.

Were they intending to do that literally? Probably not. Would they have picked this and that from the most succesfull publications? Why not? They have the right for it. You signed it away for them.
The same people that have a revolving door to big pharma? The same people that told you you couldn't get infected by covid after a vaccine? The same people that told you an unsealed cloth mask would help?
Boy are you gullible, you really should start looking into studies and the data rather than the con men that you "trust".
Who knows... My opinion is anecdotal and reductionist, but reducing the argument to "most of those poor saps just don't know any better" isn't any better. And you don't need to be a car enthusiast or stoplight racer to enjoy the feeling of instant torque.

People buy Teslas because they're fun to drive, because they believe EVs help the environment, because of the charging network, because of the autopilot (which has been really excellent in my case), because of the promise of FSD (which is something that should never have been released), or because they think Musk is a great buddy. And any combination of those points. I'm sure you'll find some who think the fart app is cool, and, yes, there'll be some who think it's a luxury car.
Yet another thing that makes me despise the UK. We have an absolutely horrific event, with 72 lives lost and now a dozen firefighters terminally ill and five years later:

- No-one has been convicted of a crime or even fined.

- The government voted to make residents of flats responsible for the costs of taking down the unsafe cladding, not the developers themselves, often putting many into inescapable debt.

- Firefighters offered a 5% pay rise despite 11% inflation and a pay decline of 12% between 2009 and 2021.

Absolute toilet country.
> It shouldn't be too hard to have Pawns only be able to capture in this manner.

So you have two regions. The 1x1 region of the pawn, and the 1.5 x 1 "en passant" region of a pawn that moved 1.5 squares as its first thrust. The 1.5x1 region can only be targetted by enemy pawns. If an enemy bishop lands in the 1.5x1 region, it still needs to check if its the 1x1 "original pawn" region to have the pawn captured.
> .mp4 being associated with a video player seems reasonable, since it's almost always used for video. (I think the only difference between .mp4 and .m4a is the extension? It's just serving as a signal about which app should open it, really.)

mp4 is a container format, all it does is wrap some codecs and add metadata. There's no requirement that it contain video. The smart thing to do would be to inspect the mp4 and open it in an audio player if it contains an audio stream but no video stream.

My grandparents ate tons of meat despite their income level. Why? Because they lived in a small rural town. City folks not wanting to pay the true cost of living in a city and be able to live like they live in a small rural ag town (while making fun of people who chose to live in rural ag towns) is just like meat producers not wanting to pay the true costs of creating antibiotic resistance, it is an unspoken cause of these sorts of discussions.
I’ve been using Music (previously iTunes) since it was called SoundJam MP. It’s always been fine for me. It’s had some issues here and there but nothing that would ever get me to describe it as “bad.”

Why do you think it’s bad? I’ve heard others say the same but I’ve never heard a general (as opposed to esoteric) reason.
That's not what he said, and I doubt it's what he meant. Many people who disagree with me are not dipshits, but the ones who are seem to take positive joy in being disagreeable.
ChatGPD is really mainly impressive in that you, the human can say things like "You didn't answer my request, please review how you responded" and it will try again and somehow incorporate feedback in it's next response.

It's going to be oversold among a certain tech crowd because... well... the Wikipedia page on history of artificial intelligence says human-like intelligence in a program has been about 10 years away since 1970 if we go by quotes from leading A.I. experts.

Some tech people,for whatever reason, do not seem to be properly grounded in reality when it comes to A.I. advancements and are just too optimistic in general about these things.
> as far as I know it's not a lack of water but what happens to the water once it's evaporated that causes the dryness in those areas - it goes up into the high atmosphere and comes down in rain over the tropics. Wish I remembered the name though.

It's the other way around - the subtropical ridges are high pressure high altitude masses of dry air that fall to the surface around 30 N & S. This dry air is then sucked back to the equator as the Trade Winds, which further dry out the sub tropics.

> Wish I remembered the name though.

I live in SF, work at a "FAANG adjacent" company so I'm surrounded by the same crowd.

The minority of us who had fun to drive cars in the first place are not the ones going with Teslas for the fun driving experience. (if anything I know more who do in spite of the driving experience for practical reasons... I was one of them when I first got here from NYC)

I mentioned Civic and Camry because they're common in the entire US, but most BMWs/Audis/Lexuses driven in the Bay Area are similarly utilitarian models.

There might be a few more M3/M4s in our parking lot than you'd find in a random one across the country for example, but they're still drowned out by SUVs and sedans with base engines.

-

Maybe we're talking past each other because I'm assuming "fun to drive" in terms of driving dynamics, where by "fun to drive" you might mean the tech part.

That would be more in line with my original point, and I could actually see being common.
In my northern jurisdiction heating is the largest contributor to CO2, more than transportation, industry or agriculture.
Agreed. These days though I tend to just mash 0 repeatedly and say the word "representative".
Interesting, most of the devs we talk to are pretty concerned about not having DRM. Same goes for implementation, they want the least amount of work possible.

You're right about penalizing smaller titles though, we're trying to figure that out at the moment. Pay per install is interesting, thanks for the suggestion!
> Not satisfied with ruining …

Nothing has been ruined. Mediocre mass produced food and drink is still as widely available as it ever was. This sort of reverse snobbery puzzles me as much as regular snobbery does. Let people enjoy what they enjoy.
It sounds like a solution might consist of vastly increasing the number of doctors that get trained and residencied each year.
You can buy meat sourced from ethical ranchers. You don't need to bite the bullet and be an early adopter for some science experiment. And you seem to have no issue with the millions of acres of land dedicated to growing genetically modified soy crops. That genetically engineered habitat killed off the original "natural habitat". And the answer to C02 has always been simple. Nuclear power.
