It's always been apparent, but the Dave Chappelle debacle was the final proof that he genuinely believes himself to be a universally beloved figure hailed as a genius comedian except for a handful of woke saboteurs. He really does seem baffled why "jokes" like this tweet don't go over.
Gopher?
Fair point, but at the very least the bias of the articles/sources should be taken into consideration considering the widespread anti-semitism and historical context of such.

from the salon article

"Hanen "acknowledged that [a] pro-Palestinian view is protected by the First Amendment," said Abbas. "That may sound like little crumbs, but that's a controversial take, and it's a blessing."" its not a prevention of being pro-Palestinian or demonstrating any pro-Palestinian activtism, but specifically about BDS in the context of federal law regarding commerce and boycotting.

Trust me, I know about the differing opinions in our community. But there does tend to be some who reject their identity to appease the people persecuting us...

With the final link, the BBC really tries to be impartial so it makes sense they would review content? If they never add it back, or add an edited form back then I'd be more concerned. Plus "Foulkes explained that the series will be suspended from the site whilst an editorial review is carried out and that once the review has been completed, the BBC will decide which content to retire permanently and which to reinstate and / or edit."
I feel this developer's pain, I remember writing a vituperative blog post about Apple's habit of buying or building their own clone of some independent app and muscling developers out of their market. With time I've mellowed. Running a business means that you have to say "no" to a bunch of things for which there is a perfectly plausible and rational reason to say "yes."

The reasons for saying "no" to good ideas are sometimes incredibly important, such as "Putting more wood behind fewer arrows, i.e. Focus." And sometimes they make no sense that anyone can discern from reading the tea leaves, but they aren't fatal to the business and so there's no incentive to figure out how to say "yes" to them.

I am in no way saying that I like living in the world where Apple treats ISVs and hobbyists as irritations. I remember having to pay outrageous amounts of money for photocopied developer documentation in the late 80s and early 90s... From Apple! I remember flying to Cupertino for OpenDoc training that cost us three grand a developer. Outrageous, were they trying to recruit a developer ecosystem? Or gatekeeping so that the only OpenDoc developers would come from companies that were already behemoths?

But sigh... OpenDoc failed, Copland failed, Pink was spun of as Taligent and failed... Easy to criticize Apple's choices, but nevertheless they survived and here we are decades later dealing with the fact that throughout its history, Apple has always had a love-hate relationship with hobbyists and ISVs.[1]

And throughout that time, we've all complained. We're not wrong, but then again, we're not right, either.

[1]: Guy Kawasaki, Apple's first developer evangelist, wrote at length about how he was trying to drum up interest from indie developers to write software for the Mac. It was a good fit, as being an indie means you can jump into a new platform and exploit first-mover advantage, without any baggage from your existing success to hold you back.

Corporate always shit on that, they wanted big announcements from Microsoft and Lotus and Wordperfect and Ashton-Tate. And how did things play out? The "killer app" turned out to be PageMaker from Aldus, a company nobody had heard of. Later, people wrote business apps for Mac. Did they build them on top of Ashton-Tate's popular database? Nope, they built them on top of something called "Silver Surfer" from France of all places, which was eventually renamed "4th Dimension."

Apple's disdain for small developers is in their DNA.

The annoying part for consumers is that now installing apps on iOS is arguably even more spammy and full of nuisance than the early Android days. It used to be that iOS apps were $1 and high quality, and Android apps were free and crappy or full of malware. Now, EVERY small utility on iOS wants me to sign up for a subscription. I wanted a simple calendar countdown widget the other week and all of the top promoted search results were apps with subscription models. For a countdown (eg. 37 days until X)! This to me to worse than sifting through malware and ad spam on Google Play.
The review process is completely random. One day they accept your app completely, the other day your "iPad screenshot is a strechted iPhone image" or something. Its just frustrating.
Arrays might be forgivable (although the other languages including Python, C++, and Rust are not restricted there), but Spans are less so.

At this point even my phone has 12GB of memory. Although I am more concerned about deep learning. Streaming tensors doesn't make much sense.

The other annoying bit is memory-mapped files.
Apparently Twitter plan to allow limited API access for $8/month? Still kind of silly, but more defensible.
That sounds better. I think being indifferent is the most reasonable position, because it's impossible to compare existence to nonexistence.
I use Rust in practice. We use async_std. Someone recently added reqwest. We now have two async runtimes. It’s a problem.

“minimal runtime” is semantics. Rust shipped async. IMO that would expand the definition of what is minimal for Rust to include in the runtime. I’m 100% certain no async anything would need to make it into programs that don't use async so the surface area of the runtime need not change for anybody unduly if Rust supported async.

I’m not saying Rust hasn't made async things better. It has. But it’s still really messy. It doesn't give me the same peace of mind that Rust does around memory safety.

And that’s my gripe. I admit it’s a rather privileged one. But that’s Rust’s fault. Rust has shown me how nice it is to fight with the complier till I want to scream if it means my program isn't going to have dangling pointers everywhere. I am a lazy dev and want the same for my concurrent code. Rust currently doesn't deliver on that promise, IMO. And it surely could with some continued work and slight philosophy adjustment.

It’s literally incorrect to use parts of Rust’s stdlib from async code. You can’t tell me that’s a good thing. C.f. Swift where the async support is thoroughly cooked into the language, runtime, and stdlib. Rust can do better here.
Yes, Apple likes to sell products and services for money.

It's basically here. We've been using it in production for our clients for almost a year now.

The #1 reason we are moving away from iOS native to web app is because of Apple's policies and how convoluted the signing experience is.
Except that they structured the system to provide no choice. If you want to develop on ios you have to use their tools, their systems.
Not trying to stir anything here but this review makes me not want it at all. What made you keep it instead of buying a $40 battery replacement for your MacBook if nothing seems to work as well?
> Even if what they do is illegal or you can sue them afterward, it's a very significant short term loss and in some cases, they may be able to do damage that cannot be reversed like deleting Slack channels.

I was recently tasked with revoking access to systems during my companies recent round of layoffs. We had it timed so that when the departing employee found out they were leaving they'd already have no access.

Unfortunately for us, they were a brand ambassador and took to their personal social media to tell their followers that we were embezzling client funds (not true).

I don't know what happened from a legal stand point (if they were sued or there was any other consequences) but sometimes new customers find out they said that and are distrustful of us.

> My point is that a million makers on a million joycons couldn't generate enough commercially viable content for a single game.

How does this criticism follow after seeing a playlist full of creative uses of the limited systems available?

What do you expect, these individual makers using a proprietary tool somehow actually making a commercially viable game out of their levels that they can't even export and are entirely based on the closed source engine powering SMM? That never would have happened because of the nature of the platform, not the content being made.

None of this are the terminals job. Shells and their tooling are doing this already very well. So what is this project adding new to the space?
They should be paying developers, yes, but not for the pain of going through review but instead for the simple fact that an iphone without any app developers is almost completely worthless. Apps make their platform more valuable.

Tesla doesn't have this problem though so how are they the villain? Tesla created the first global charger network that now other companies are pleading for government help to compete with.
It's all peaker replacements in this case. These batteries will usually put out power for 15-30 minutes. Peakers are the low hanging fruit for these grid scale batteries to replace. So the watt-hours aren't really important since they need to put out a lot of watts in a short period of time until large cheap generators come online.

Eventually batteries will start cutting into base loads as well, but not yet. Then we'll need to talk about watt-hours. Especially when we provision past the point we no longer need natural gas peaker plants. Solar and wind have gotten so cheap lately that it's only a matter of time now.

AI models might be able to do this in the future by themselves, though with current paradigms AI will barely generate copies of existing levels with little creativity. Sure, a composition of existing level pieces could lead to an interesting level design, though it would be more by accident than by design. Models do not maximize player enjoyment, there is no metric for that. Maybe engagement metrics could be used, but I don't think players would stick around long enough playing bad levels to reach a viable model.

New models and paradigms will come up, but until then I'd say anything AI-generated will feel pretty vanilla and somewhat incoherent.
Had the same thing happen to me 2 years ago while waiting at a red light. A woman blasted into me and the 2 cars in front of me. She ended up in the oncoming traffic lane and her car did a 180 so she was facing the opposite direction. This was at the end of an old bridge where the lanes are narrow and the speed limit is 35 MPH, ie, a hazardous road in the first place, and yet traffic routinely drives 50 MPH - without even paying attention!

She had the minimum required insurance for KY, 25/50/10, which is ridiculously low. My ER visit was $22K, and the total bill was $45K after all was said and done, including a nose surgery. That is only the doctor/hospital costs, not pain and suffering. I had to pay $20K above my car settlement for a (used) replacement car. The bodily injury claim is still pending with my own insurance company for underinsured motorist, and they've ignored me for 4 months. I have a 2-year deadline coming up, so if they continue to ignore me, I'll have to sue them.

And the fine for texting while driving in KY? That would be $25.

It's been a shitshow for nearly 2 years, all because some dumbass was using her phone instead of driving. I hate driving now and avoid it whenever possible.
It sucks but I'm sure its the most "logical" move.

Just curious, how would you handle it? I would love to say I would trust everyone to be adults about it.. but you never know, sad to say.
I doubt this is "Apple doesn’t want you developing hobby apps", so much as "Apple doesn’t want dev accounts to be an easy backdoor for sideloading apps" and hobby apps are an acceptable casualty.
Nb this doesn't appear to be a validator but merely a frontend to various backends that perform actual validation, such as W3C's classic SGML-based validator or nu validator for HTML, as can be seen in the sparse commit history.

Or, if it did perform validation, then only for the relatively simple case of XML DTD/XML Schema validation coming with Java/Xerces, which however has been irrelevant on the web for a long time now in the post-XHTML era.

Especially with W3C not bothering to publish schemas or other formal grammars in those areas they're still relevant for, even when it would be possible, useful, and was explicitly requested by the community, such as for SVG 2, or ARIA 1.2+.
I'd strongly disagree with the idea that ChatGPT is essentially as trustworthy as humans and human-generated content because humans occasionally bullshit and misrepresent reality.

You can rationalize what people are saying based on their experiences, opinions, and backgrounds. You can engage in the Socratic method with people, to unpack where their claims come from and get to the grounding "truth" of primary experience.

You can't do any of these things with ChatGPT, because ChatGPT isn't grounded – it goes in circles at a level of abstraction where truth doesn't exist.
I disagree. The main reason I buy Apple laptops is the physical reliability... they absolutely make low end (feature wise) models that still have top notch physical quality and longevity, including historically making super bare bones school/education targeted models. I know it's a premium model, but my 2010 Macbook Pro is still going strong with zero repairs other than two battery replacements that took about 5 minutes each, after over a decade of regular hard travel use. I think I'd be lucky to get 6 months from the average PC laptop with use like that.

I'd argue that my iPhone SE2 is also a product that is very much a low end non-luxury phone, but with unparalleled physical build quality. I purchased it from a budget box store as part of a cheap prepaid cell phone plan- total ownership cost will be far less than the cheapest Android phones targeted at the 3rd world, if you consider how much longer it will likely last.
If Europe refuses to build anything, then yeah, I agree with you. But that’s true in general. Their old stuff will eventually collapse if they lose entirely the ability to build new, and this is irrespective of electric cars.

But there’s tons of historical precedent for scaling up electricity production. Nuclear, of course, but solar and wind are new additional options that are even faster to install (with large scale battery helping back nuclear, wind, and solar, due to the scale up of battery manufacturing capacity for electric cars). (Solar is a challenge for Northern Europe, which is worse than 90% of the world’s population when it comes to solar power.)
I don't trust most humans to be fully aware what they're doing themselves most of the time, never-mind trying to fully understand what the AI is doing/thinking.
The second article goes on to state:

> When asked about anecdotal reports of people getting headaches and sore throats, and of animals, such as cats and chickens, dying near the train derailment, Ohio Health Director Dr. Bruce Vanderhoff said that air quality does not appear to be the source.

You can disagree with the officials if you like, that doesn't change the fact that the news reporters asked them about the issues you mentioned, and they gave an official response. This is what the news is for!

Here's ABC talking about the acid: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/toxins-ohio-train-derailment-p...

All in all this is a dumb discussion. The G**P claimed that no one was talking about this, I show that every major media outlet has this as front page news, then people just chime in to say that... the news the media reports doesn't exactly match their preconceived notions based on looking at TikTok? I say that's great! It'd be far, far, far worse if every news outlet and social media were presenting the same narrative.
Yah the device restriction is a bummer.
USDC is not speculative? It's a stablecoin. Gold would also be a solution but its illiquidity makes it impractical.
Pretty much this. And it's not the first time this happens.

And it's usually not an issue of "we don't want to" (I don't remember if any country overwhelmingly voted against it) but more of legislative delays (kicking the can) and such.

Going all in on EV's is also a very big gamble. Sure, there is probably a profitable segment in the market, but with so many other car companies going all-in, Toyota could be in a good position by having a wider line-up of products. There is something very strange about the herd mentality around EV's. As if we are going to fix the environment if only everybody gets an EV for ALL use cases.
So far, only Tesla is using giga-presses to reduce the number of parts that must be welded together in each vehicle and lower costs. Other car manufacturers have barely started exploring the possible use of these giga-presses, and seem reluctant to transition away from time-tested approaches to manufacturing. Quoting from the OP:

> After initially considering die casting for its upcoming Trinity model, Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) has backtracked, while BMW (BMWG.DE) has never expressed an interest. Ferrario said the auto industry tended to be conservative and that no one liked upending established processes, but he rejected idea that die casting posed a risk to jobs at carmakers, noting body-making was already highly automated.

Thanks in part to its use of these giga-presses, Tesla currently has the highest profit margins of any mainstream car company. It's not a coincidence.
Electrify America's network is pretty bad, top to bottom. Payment processing is just the tip of the iceberg in how much it blows.
Same story with many brands.
Rather than raise their prices, they cut quality. Do companies not understand why people were buying them to begin with?
Bounty paper towels are the latest brand that I noticed. They always were superior, thick large sheets. Now they are on par with generics.
That's not how confirmation works.
> Temp files, like database temp tables, could by default only be visible to the current process (and optionally its children) or even the current thread. No more having to worry about temp file races and related issues.

This is one area where the Unix design is much closer to good compared to other historic approaches. The separation of file identity from file paths (not sure if it is a a Unix invention) pretty much allows temp files to be implemented, in fact I believe O_TMPFILE in Linux allows that.

> START_TRANSACTION

can be implemented on top. Transactions are quite involved, so I wouldn't blame a random file system for not implementing them. Use a database (yes, most of them skip the buffering and synchronisation layer of the filesystem they are stored on, and use e.g. O_DIRECT).

> fopen(..., 'r') could, by default, operate on a COW snapshot

Something like that would require the definition of safe states in the first place (getting an immutable view is pointless if the current contents aren't valid), so we're almost back at transactions.

I think Unix file systems are fine and usable as a common denominator to store blobs, like object stores do, but also easily allow single writers to modify and update them. As ugly and flawed and bugged as most file systems are, most of the value comes from the uniform interface. You need better guarantees than that, you probably have to lose that interface and move to a database.
When the mac came out in 1984 people had very much the same complaints as it was the first microcomputer to be released without software development tools.
AI: The Bias Paradox
These presses are for complex and fairly thick structural parts. Think like radiator core supports, subframes, dashboard support structures and control arms. Yhe resultant parts are substantially more expensive than the stamped and welded steel they replace. The range of cost difference vs steel also wide because the complexity of the part and the shape of the part affect the service life and initial cost of the die a lot. Some parts lend themselves well to the process, some don't. What this increased expense buys you is weight and NVH improvements.

In previous cases aluminum has been used for car bodies and cosmetic sheet-metal panels. The cost difference vs steel is not nearly as large in that application.
