> But the Apple tool chain is free of charge.

Good? It's built on free software like LLVM and Clang, if Apple charged for that it would be like pricing CUPS as an additional MacOS feature.

If Apple cares about security, they should build it into their OS, not their services. You can paint this however you want, but regulators have already seen the marketing side of it. Now they want to bring the world's largest company to heel.
There is no contradiction. It is not “raw power” that must be seized, it is social power. For AI to win the top spot, they have to convince humans to believe in their hearts and minds that they are inferior to AI. That is not a war you win by merely crushing skulls.
Does this mean that non-Tesla drivers won't have to install the Tesla app to use the new Tesla chargers? If so, this is even bigger news.
I don't view the iPhone and iPad as "computers" or "personal computers" any more than I view my cable TV set-top box or Sonos speaker that way. Both are very powerful devices with Linux operating systems. But I don't expect to be able to program them.

The iPhone is an appliance that can download "apps" that Apple permits. When I want a "computer" I open up my MacBook.
The word “patent” is missing and $500k is nothing. And how are you going to prove that you didn’t modify whatever was suggested by the AI?
I've seen people exchanging thumb drives.

No concept of a patch. They spent most of the afternoon and evening "performing the manual merge and stabilizing the release", meaning rebuilding and deleting lines until it compiled.

I wish I was kidding.
The problem is not the $99, it's the fact that you can't publish anonymously. You must show ID to pay and participate, because of payment cards and the dev program signup.
> That they hurt developers that got them there in the first place? Who cares.

I mean this fee has been there since forever no? Early on not even the iOS updates were free. You can argue about the merits of the fee but don't frame it as some recent change that disparages early adopters.
"where is avatar showing today" is not a stupid thing, and I'd expect a correct answer there.
I believe the CCS connector rule will eventually be changed. The momentum Tesla has with their own connector is simply too great.

Keep in mind for European posters: this is not the European CCS. It's CCS type 1, which is quite a lot worse than CCS type 2 in Europe.
These are general purpose computers. It ought to be possible to access their compute in ways that are not influenced by their manufacturer.

For instance, even though I hate google with a passion, I got this $150 android tablet and I've been using https://github.com/t184256/nix-on-droid to access pretty much the same tools that I use on my Linux desktop. I have the same setup on my Android phone.

I was at the university library the other day, surrounded by windows machines (I'm no fan of Microsoft either), and I wanted a big screen and keyboard, so I ran https://github.com/yudai/gotty on my phone and used a browser on the windows box to access the nix-enabled shell on my phone, which had everything I need, configured how I like it.

Other times I'll use a google cloud shell, clone my nix config, and have the same experience there.

Sure, I'm relying on Google and Microsoft in some capacity here and there, but I've reduced my reliance on software that they wrote to the point where they're pretty much just a dumb pipe between me and the hardware. They might be able to break my workflow, but that's about the limit of their control.

Unlike Apple, they'd rather attempt to control me in other ways so they don't break my workflow. They're ok with failing a certain percentage of the time, after all they're still getting my money. Apple doesn't seem to be able to let go to that degree.
We enforce rules in our society because they make that society better. Basic shared rules of behaviour are a precondition for social cohesion and prosperity, _not_ a luxury that we can only afford when everything else has been taken care of. This goes 10x in small groups in rigorous environments.

I wouldn't call resources in the Antarctic winter "incredibly scarce"; expeditions have been wintering South for decades now. We know what's required, and it's available, in quantity, with backups. It's true that people are trapped together for months at a time; we also rely on each other for survival. Under such circumstances, it's entirely backwards to claim "local society can't afford to have such strict standards." Just the opposite; strict standards of social behaviour are _required_ for the group cohesion and trust that's necessary for collaboration and survival.

A candidate who demonstrated this attitude would never get through BAS' hiring process. If, by some mischance, they did manage to make it South, they certainly wouldn't be overwintering.

I can’t help but feel like “adding more male elementary school teachers” is a lost cause with how we’ve collectively decided to punish schoolteachers for going into the profession. Anecdotally, I’ve known lots of school teachers and they all have a martyr complex that’s encouraged by greedy and controlling admins. Many approach burnout. Coupling low pay with needing to both educate and act like a daycare worker for needy and demanding parents is not my idea of a rational career choice. So what is the draw other than sacrificing yourself to “better society”? We seem to collectively act like spoiled children in this regard demanding so much and offering so little in return.
Essentially yes.

Any time you call an async function you get a Future. The future does not resolve until you await it. So you can call an async function from a non-async function normally and do things with the future. You just cant call future.await to yeild until the result is is ready unless you’re in an async context. You can ask the runtime to resolve the future if you want, but that’s a blocking call so it’s up to you to make sure it’s safe to block.
It really isn’t. I’m curious which pundits you’ve been listening to that are claiming Moore’s Law didn’t cap out back around 2015. We can only solve some of our problems with core count, and core count cares a great deal about Dennard’s Law, as well as Gustafson’s Law if not Amdahl’s.

Data center energy usage is becoming a category of its own with regard to carbon footprint. And of course the power dissipation of a data center is proportional to ambient temperature. As long as we don’t reach a dystopia where humans have to justify the air they breathe, replacing humans with machines has other problems than BTUs per unit of GDP.

First, you are right. Jobs himself said that he wanted to go beyond selling computers, and sell information appliances. In that respect, he and Woz were diametrically opposed.

When he was squeezed out of management in his own company, it is not a coïncidence that he elbowed his way into Jef Raskin's Macintosh project: Raskin was also interested in building information appliances, the difference between the two men was that Raskin was coming to the notion of an information appliance from the HCI perspective, and wanted to focus on simplicity and low cost. The UX he designed was text-centric and used high-speed incremental search as its navigation paradigm.

Jobs was infatuated with what he'd seen at Xerox Parc, and also wanted to build an information appliance, but he wanted it to be powerful and flexible and centered on the WIMP paradigm.[1]

Jobs was the boss, so Raskin left the project and the company. But Jobs never lost his vision that Apple should sell appliances, and people who wanted to "wrench their own devices" should buy PCs.

> unthankful employees

This always gets me. It's as if they think they're doing people a favor by hiring them -- or at least expect people to think they're doing them a favor.

It just ain't so. The reason companies hire people is because they'll make more money by doing so. It's not a favor, it's just cold business. Employees should not feel "thankful", they should feel as if they entered into a business relationship.
Last 12 months on Yahoo Finance is showing Digital Ocean's operating income at -$21M. Also, negative in 2019, 2020, 2021.

It's either financially illiterate or completely disengenuous for commenters to cherry pick financials such as gross profit, which doesn't include salary expense, when we are talking about layoffs.

Other commenters calling execs sociopaths when company is losing money, as if they can lose money forever.
That's not an accurate representation of what I said and it's completely tangential to this article. Given that you have "Fuck Elon Musk" in your Twitter bio, I'm guessing that this is a major issue for you and possibly part of your identity.

That said, doxxing people's location in real-time absolutely is a security risk and kidnapping is nothing to laugh about.

I believe it's an unethical choice to donate to the legal fund of someone intentionally and stubbornly engaging in that kind of behavior (and even working around technical barriers built by regulatory bodies to do so).
Its a beta. Kinda funny watching people getting personal with a machine though.
Apple products are good but not unique. Plenty of alternatives exist. There are some people who prefer to be friends only with other friends whose iMessage bubbles are the right color. That problem solves itself through attrition.

Developing for that ecosystem is a tougher question, because Apple has made it hard to do so legally without buying their products. But if your objections are based on personal values, presumably you'd also avoid supporting their ecosystem by developing for it.

The upside of an ecosystem that thrives on brand exclusivity is that it's really easy to exclude it.

It’s important to understand that the Fed has limited tools at its disposal. Congress does have the power to enact the required structural changes. However, the Fed Chair has not been very vocal about this so it always seems like the Fed is the only agency that can do anything about the situation.

Honestly Powell should stop pretending he has any control over the situation and say it explicitly that rate hikes aren’t really having the intended effect. He is a bad Fed chair.
> My point is that a million makers on a million joycons couldn't generate enough commercially viable content for a single game.

The toolset is limited, so you end up with Mario levels of LittleBigPlanet.

If you provide a fuller toolset (like UnrealEd or the ability to mod), then you absolutely have viable content, enough for (in the case of CS) the original publishers of the base game acquiring your commercially viable content.

I don't think so. All of this is a statisticall error to their profits.

What I've heard from religious scholars is that they think Christianity's dualism seems pretty inspired by Zoroastrianism, with the added insight that Judaism was originally polytheistic. There's therefore a lot of underlying assumptions in the religion primed for the idea of multiple god-like entities.

I've gotten an annual flu shot since adolescence and I'd recommend that everyone of every age do so as well, mostly because of the consequences I suffered when I failed to do so.

Again, I'm far from an expert, but I've been told that RNA vaccines have been studied for a couple decades now, but the recent vaccines were the first widespread use. But won't a virus deliver several orders of magnitude more RNA to you anyway? Speaking for myself, I've personally known many people including myself who have gotten a variety of vaccines with zero long term consequences, though I did have one friend who gets knocked on his ass for a day or two by them. It's those that chose to forgo the vaccine who have suffered life altering consequences as a result. I actually was talking to a friend yesterday who's thinking about applying for disability since he's tried several times to return to his job as a waiter and been too weak to do the job.

Of course, new technologies will always have the risk of novel effects I suppose. Frankly if I had kids, I'd be more concerned about their constant attachment to phones/tablets and social media like Tiktok or the like. It's hard for me to tell if that's just me getting old and grumpy about technology or if these are in fact new and novel risks, but it's impossible not to notice all the children being carted around with their faces essentially attached to some screen or other.
You try step by step.
Run grapheneOS, use f-droid, try open source alternatives and so on.

Its not complete, you still need a pixel which is made by google, and might also need google services for some apps, but its still better than doing nothing.
One things this means is that cars are going to become as disposable as cell phones and laptops. As cars get assembled from larger components, damage to one area of the car will have larger effects. This will increase repair costs, more often pushing them over the limit to declare the car a total loss.

I can’t quickly find the numbers, but I know that car repair costs are going up and repair rates are going down, and have been for decades. The reason is obvious: the benefits of a modern car come at a cost. E.g., cars are much safer now, partly thanks to airbags; those are expensive to replace. My car has 11 airbags, and if they all popped off at once that alone would probably total it.

Years ago I was in a collision which bent that frame of my car. That’s usually game-ending, but this car has a modular frame, so they just bolted on a new frame component. Now, Mercedes have always (until lately, perhaps) been known as highly-repairable; it’s one reason they last so long.

So it’s good that the right-to-repair movement is getting traction. We’re going to need to point it at cars soon, and for mechanical reasons.
I've started seeing comments appear on Reddit of people quoting ChatGPT as they would a google search, and relying on false information in the process.
I think it's a worthwhile investment for Microsoft and it has a future as a search tool, but right now it's lying frequently and convincingly and it needs to be supplemented by a traditional search to know whether it's telling the truth so that defeats the purpose.

And how is Apple ever going to change if no one makes a credible competing open solution? I believe Haiku is going to get a lot more popular with creators. Unlike Linux, no corporations control it, and it's also more Mac-like than the thing the Mac has become.

On paper I agree with all of that but in practice folks who are getting laid off already had access to all of those things every day.

Why do you trust them every day but not on the day of being laid off? Unless you're extremely close friends with them at a personal level you don't know what their state of mind is while employed without being laid off. They could do all sorts of destructive things at any point in time (both subtle and obvious).

I guess where I'm going with this one is you're always at risk for short term loss by hiring anyone. If you trust the people you hired then the short term loss outcome won't happen if you fire them. If you don't trust the people you hired then why did you hire them and give them access to do those things? All this does is optimize for bad actors and make the experience horrible for someone being fired who doesn't have intent to take the company down with them, they just want to say goodbye to their co-workers.

Plus, like you said, there could be legal actions taken against them. Who's going to risk getting sued by a corporation in the US by destroying as much as they could before they lose access? This action could potentially ruin the rest of their life from debt.
Isn't there a case going through the EU courts that will allow sideloading a separate app store on iphones? I switched to android specifically because I could install any .apk I damn please on my device.

Thanks for sharing! I built a similar tool (also in Rust) which allows tracing system and library calls, and could be used for this purpose. I wanted to expose the functionality both as a library and CLI, but for now I’ve only published documentation on using the CLI.

Matplotlib is still by far the most complicated library I have used in my fairly long career (10+ years). I worked with pieces of software for molecular modeling with millions of lines of code that were easier to understand that matplotlib.

It's very powerful, I give them that, if you can think of a figure, it can do it. But you will probably spend an evening trying to make the labels not touch each other.

2 weeks ago I created a prototype in SwiftUI to present at work this week and I was going to use my phone. An hour before the meeting I decided to open it and do one last run-through to refamiliarize myself with it.

I got the same notice.

Had to scramble to rebuild/provision and re-install on my device from my Mac that was in another part of town - for which I had to drive.

And then I got some strange errors because apparently I had to update either my OS or XCode?

Ended up just showing the Android version and that worked fine of course.

It's very annoying indeed, but at the end of the day, complaining probably won't get me anywhere, it's been this way since, what, 2007?

P.S. Developers complain about a bunch of things on the Andrdoid platform too, particularly Google Play, so it's hard to win.
Are you saying that they aren't credible? Have any of Platformer's stories turned out to be false?
Some downsides.

The term blocking isn't well defined. How slow does an operation have to be to be considered blocking? There are no rules. Fetching google.com/robots.txt is by universal agreement a blocking operation. Reading a file from the filesystem is considered blocking in JS but may not be in other languages, especially given that very fast disks like Optane or modern NVMe Flash can be only an order of magnitude or two slower than RAM. Taking a lock may or may not be considered blocking. Computing pi to a trillion digits would usually not be considered blocking because it doesn't make any async OS API calls, even though it might cause long delays before it returns, but if the author chose to implement it as an async iterator then it could be considered blocking.

Worse, async vs not async is about latency requirements of the caller, but the function author can't know that. If you're in a UI thread doing 60fps animation maybe even reading a file would be too slow, but if you're in a script then it doesn't matter at all and you'd rather have the simpler code. You're calling the same function, the only thing that changed is the performance requirements of the user.

So "potential to block" is to some extent a makework problem that occurs in JS because V8 isn't thread safe, and V8 isn't thread safe because JS isn't, because it was designed for the web which is a kind of UI toolkit. Such toolkits are almost never thread safe because it's too much hassle to program a thread safe renderer and would make it too slow, so that browser-specific implementation constraint propagates all over the JS ecosystem.

Final major problem: some languages use async hype as an excuse to not properly support threads at all, but that's often the only way to fully exploit the capabilities of multicore hardware. If your language only does async you'll always be restricted to a single core and you have to hope your use case parallelizes embarrassingly well at the top level.

If you have threads then this whole problem just goes away. That's the core argument that Java makes with Project Loom. Instead of introducing colored functions everywhere with poorly defined and inconsistent rules over which color to use, just make threads work better. Suddenly the binary async/not async distinction becomes irrelevant.

Still, there's a good reason most languages don't do the Loom approach. It's a massive PITA to implement. The Java guys are doing it because of their heavy investment in advanced VMs, and because the Java ecosystem only rarely calls out to native code. It'd be a lot harder in an ecosystem that had less of a focus on "purity".
