The problem is in messaging. The whole point of the OSI was that the FSF was too ideological to be appealing to most businesses. The problem, is that the ideological angle is the point. The OSI would have never pitched the GPL, and the FSF would have never pitched the MIT license.

If you can find a podcast on Apple Podcasts for which the method I described in my other comment doesn't work, please post it here. Because it would feel kinda strange if Podcasts app applied DRM like this only to some specific podcasts and not all of them.

I spent months scanning about 2500 family negatives and slides on an Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner.

While it's no FlexTight, I am happy with the results, especially because I had no plans to crop.

In hindsight, I wished I had used SilverFast rather than the Epson scanning software. SilverFast offers Multi-Exposure which does two scans for maximum dynamic range and then merges them into one.

Also, the Epson default film holders have no ability to flatten the film strips so I probably ended up with softer images in many cases. I believe there are 3rd party adapters that address this.
It... depends. Often things like changing memory layout, intelligent prefetching, etc. can make a pretty big difference.
This seems about right. Work with pennies why not. My very basic test suggests that 1 - 2^(-53) is distinct from 1 in double-land. So if x is the total number of pennies and 2^(-53) * x < 0.5 I can't see why any problem would arise. That's assuming a proper rounding back to integers at the end.
I wish that someone would make a Wine-style compatibility library that would run a local websocket server that communicates with a lightweight Add-In using the new cross-platform JS APIs for Excel, and translates VSTO/COM calls into IPC messages that are processed and responded to. Then you could bring all the old VSTO tools into the modern world, running in a separate process from Excel. This is... rather daunting to even think about. Arguably Apple should sponsor the project as a way to bring the world of finance towards using Macs!
The X1 was probably better, as it was a [almost] drum scanner.

But scanner tech seems to have basically "hit a wall," in the last decade, or so. Not many advancements in the imaging. I think digicams and pure digital images/documents have made it difficult to justify the cost of developing them.

I would use any decentralized service that offered identical functionality, UX, and performance of a centralized service. It's just that there's usually significant overhead to maintaining the decentralized system and, unless the centralized system is acting in bad faith which directly affects me, it's tough to get me to want to put in the effort to switch.

So, yes. On paper, if the content was readily available, I would use it. In practice, everything is too entrenched and I'm not about to start searching multiple websites for video when I'm already successful with just one.

Happiness, or avoiding unhappiness. That is the true goal of every goal.

I would advise you go to your experience. Not thoughts and ideas. But directly to your experience and figure out what you want to.

To find happiness, first one must gain clarity about the one who is finding. If we can see that one we call "I" very clearly then the attainment of happiness is going to be easy.

If the question is unclear, the answer will be unclear or completely wrong.
Linux is even worse at maintaining compatibility with old drivers. Opening your source doesn't help when the OS doesn't offer a stable API; you can try to get your driver into the kernel tree, but that takes forever, has high code quality standards, and can still lead to you getting rejected essentially arbitrarily. So you can publish a driver that will work on linux version xyz, but that requires udev and systemd and glibc and everything else to be of versions that match.
You just made their case.

I've worked on some of the top apps in both the Play Store and the App Store in the past, and it's a well known fact: Android doesn't pay.

No it doesn't literally pay $0, but while you can support Android for a ton of reasons, none of them should ever be: "We expect Android to directly pull its fair weight in terms of revenue".

It might enable you to engage customers in other channels for example, like with your hardware product, but Android itself, as in IAPs and ads, will rarely ever catch up with iOS.

-

20% of your base being on Android and in exchange you've locked yourself out of a massive amount of development resources, end up building a ton on 3rd party components that bridge the least common denominator problem, spent a non-zero amount of engineering effort on a non-native experience for your users, you'll lag on platform improvements users get excited about...

It's just not a good deal unless you're in a case where an outside factor bridges the gap. Most Flutter projects won't have a hardware product for that.

I worked in computing as GUIs became the dominant mode of computer interaction. The idea that Apple's team, as brilliant as they were, somehow explored the full space of possibilities is just completely absurd. In the decades since their designs were formed, we have come up with new ideas that never crossed their minds (not because they were stupid, merely because they were human), and have new technology that creates questions about their assumptions and new possibilities.

By all means bow down before what they did at the time, but please do not treat macOS or the Apple HIG as "the be-all and end-all of UI/UX for all time". Because it is not.
You don’t need to be a lawyer to have opinions on what the law should be, but if you’re going to propose a legal reform you’re going to come up against the existing values that caused the existing laws to be formed.

Contract law is about one of the oldest forms of law there is and it persists because it is fundamentally two or more parties coming to and being bound by an agreement. It is an age old tale at this point that you basically should know what you are paying for, why you’re paying for it, what you stand to gain and if you have any doubts about the terms of the service you feel unqualified to make a judgment call on, consult someone who lives and breathes this stuff.

Apple offered terms. You accept or reject them or if you can, you renegotiate but you have to have a reason for them to consider renegotiating with you, as they’re not obligated to offer a service under any other terms than the ones they stipulated. So your concerns are really a policy dispute, not a legal one: you want the service Apple offered but not under the terms Apple offered them. How is this not resolved by either you refusing to use the service or them refusing to serve you? Neither one of you is being compelled to offer or make use of a particular podcasting service; and to be fair and I’ve been clear on this point, I think it’s a fair deal between the two parties involved that is also total crap for podcast listeners, but there’s a fair gap between thinking something is total crap and thinking there is a legislative remedy informed by good values that is fair to the service provider considering they could also and would be entirely within their rights to just not offer the service at all like all the years they didn’t offer this exact service beforehand but in which other podcast hosts have continued to exist (and still exist) and offer a like service on their terms.

Why should any of that be any different?
Good catch. The flag images come from https://flagpedia.net/. I'll notify the maintainer.
No: this isn't just any random podcast from the iTunes homepage. It only applies to podcasts which are hosted by Apple, not ones which Apple lists in its directory. This is a very small percentage of shows.

They are considered to be as close to drum scans as scanners can get.
Worth noting this detail towards the bottom of the article:

> Scores on the California Achievement Test in mathematics for the Kaktovik middle school improved dramatically in 1997 compared to previous years. Before the introduction of the new numerals, the average score had been in the 20th percentile; after their introduction, scores rose to above the national average. It is theorized that being able to work in both base-10 and base-20 might have comparable advantages to those bilingual students have from engaging in two ways of thinking about the world.

There are no podcasts with tens of thousands of episodes.

And there are very few with thousands. And if you're at that level of professionalism and popularity then you know what you're doing and this article doesn't apply.
Wow, the last comparison between the Hasselblad scanner and a consumer scanner is astounding!
I'm interested in a lot of different forms of transportation as a hobby. Photography, tracking, etc. Being able to see the flight history of a specific airframe is interesting to me or going back and looking at past flights. Fleets is another feature I use. For example, I've been interested in trying to get photos of the new E915-E2 jets that Porter Airlines is adding so I've created a "fleet" and can easily track the whereabouts in the hopes of being able to catch one in flight to photograph.

This is a great point.

Not a lawyer, but as I understand the most likely way this question will be answered (for practical purposes in the US) is via the ongoing lawsuits against GitHub Copilot and Stable Diffusion and Midjourney.

I personally agree the creativity is in the source images and the training code, but think that unless it is decided that for legal purposes "AI Artifacts" (the files containing model weights, embedding, etc.) are just transformations of training data and therefore content and subject to the same legal standards as content, I see a lot of value in trying to let people license training and code and models separately. And if models are just transformations of content, I expect we can adjust the norms around licensing to achieve similar outcomes (i.e., trying to balance open sharing with some degree of creator-defined use restriction).
I never understand this mentality. Keep undeveloped land undeveloped for what? People would rather have unemployment and opiate addicts instead of development and progress.
Yeah, unless I was still unreasonably passionate about running an open and free service like that, I'd be hard-pressed to turn down that offer.

I'd feel bad about it, definitely, as I do agree it'd be a slap in the face to the community, and I'd know that I'd probably never get people to trust me in the role of running that sort of a service again. Not to mention burning bridges with the community members who helped run the service.

But $20M? I'm lucky that I've already built up a nice nest egg through the whole FIRE thing, but $20M (even after taxes) would take me from "can live a pretty comfortable life without working as long as I watch my finances" to "can live an amazing life without working, and will never have to worry about money ever again".

I'm not sure what terms ADS-B Exchange licensed out the collected data, but maybe it's even possible for someone to build a new service, and keep the historical data intact. Even if not, it seems like there is at least one other community-run service for people who are upset by this to switch to. And frankly this doesn't seem like a particularly difficult or expensive service to build or maintain.

Oh they literally want code on github. And that’s a hard no for me and should be for most.

I don’t play these games. I don’t take tests, I don’t have public repos, and I’m not going to change that.

Why? Because these tests are arbitrary, faulty, and highly based in subjectivity. They are costly to me both in time and mental health.

Back when I was fresh and did them, I found that I always ended up starting a new job with a bad attitude. Well duh, it’s abusive to make a person stand in front of others and have them evaluate their worth live. It’s abusive to ask someone to work for you for free so that they can see if they like you.

It’s a terrible cycle and it shouldn’t be justified or normalized.

There are plenty of people out there who want to hire you without coming up with idiotic games for you to have to play. Seek them out.
Algorithms != computation
Thanks for telling me about this exciting new technology called "search", but it turns out that not only am I aware of it, I have been for quite a while. It is not my job to read random search results in hopes of finding some sort of data that demonstrates the value of crypto. I have already researched this a fair bit and have a provisional conclusion that suits me fine. If you would like your claims about it taken seriously, you can do the searching and collection and analysis and provide me with some results. If that doesn't interest you, that's fine by me.
Yup, no reason at all. Glad you liked it!

maybe it is some sort of status thing. since people have to be able to afford a fancy keyboard with a shift key to use camel case or underscores, it shows they can afford nicer things than us kebab-cases.

more seriously, it is the unfortunate fact that a lot of systems interpret named-thing and named minus thing. many people don't have the option of using kebab-case. it isn't a good style because it is often impossible to use. which is unfortunate because it is more ergonomic.

You can't go somewhere else, because going somewhere else means starting over from scratch. That's the whole point of my post: you're locked in. The customer who reached out with this issue has hundreds of episodes and can't reasonably manually reupload them all to another service.

Thank you for pointing out this app! I've been looking for a podcasting app that isn't Apple's and doesn't require you to create an account and store stuff in the cloud. (I just want to access publicly available RSS feeds! How hard is that?)

And man, Apple's Podcast app is terrible. I can't believe how buggy it is, nor can I believe how awful the UI is. It's shocking how bad it is when I compare it to other Apple apps that I love (things like Logic and FCP). Even boring apps like Pages and Numbers are really well made. But they completely dropped the ball on Podcasts and Music. It's bizarre.

The minicomputer which stopped working (while I was programming it), because a chip had disappeared from the CPU backplane

The only soldering I ever committed (which my boss disparaged as really ugly when he returned from giving the demo which that soldering had saved) which enabled me to debug a race condition in a distributed OS I was coding, by creating an RS-232 null modem so I could run two copies of the OS on the same microVAX
