Because Engineeering is about trade offs from a business level, not just about technical ones. The support costs with older systems go up because the number of users decreases because you have to keep spare parts around for those old machines. That’s what Apple support is. If it’s not a supported model, they’re not going to do any hardware repairs for you period. Tying software and hardware that way isn’t a terrible decision to make from Apple’s perspective. Customer’s also have to pick - do I want to continue in the ecosystem or so I get out. Apple doesn’t want users getting disgruntled because their QA is no longer testing software running on older hardware.

Also Apple doesn’t deprecate things by dropping support suddenly. That wouldn’t be great UX. They wait for that to happen naturally over time and, when the number of users is sufficiently small enough past some point AND they want to make a technical break, they start stopping to support a model.

I think it’s valuable to compare alternatives. Apple supports their software and hardware much much better than any competitor AFAIK. For example, iPhones have a guaranteed support level of five years iirc and often it can go even older despite engineers on the ground wanting to deprecate things faster because of the maintenance costs (eg dropping 32-bit macOS support went on longer than line engineers were happy with). Competitors? Google does 3 years of upgrades on their flagship phones and laptops and 5 years of security updates if I recall correctly.

That’s why I’d say the framing is wrong. If anything Apple is a leader in figuring out how to provide the best support I’m the industry by vertically integrating everything (other SW vendors often can have one of forks for every product which makes it quicker to launch something but economically limits how long those support operations can last. Google tried several architectural efforts to stabilize this situation for Android but as I said they still haven’t managed this for their own hardware - they maybe solved it at the OS level but firmware still has security flaws so if a vendor (often the chip vendor, not the oem) stops making updates (they do frequently and definitely don’t go out of their way to unify their software stack - they want planned obsolescence more than OEMs), you’re SOL. Apple is a tad bit better insulated from this since they have a stronger negotiating hand with partners / have vertically integrated a lot of components in house which lowers support costs / complexity. Still, they’re not fully immune to it because those pressures are multifaceted and complex.

So to answer your question, sure it’s not strict technical merit write now but that’s too myopic. It’s a signaling mechanism to customers that “we are not doing any work to validate software we write works on old machines”. Lots of things to criticize Apple about, but best in class support in the commercial space doesn’t feel like the best place. I could be wrong though.
This seems very similar to Notion. I am currently a Notion user, how does this compare to Notion?

What would make me switch from Notion to Outline?
I must have missed that.
I feel like this can be Implemented in the UI:

First you wrap the user query with "the user asked you: ... . What are the reasoning steps you need?" and then you prompt with "considering `<previous answer>` now answer <user prompt>"

Obviously this is clearly hackable so it would need improvements.
>nor access to printers

You fail to realize what you're asking. The military is a system where the older you are while surviving the institution, the more pull you have. These dinosaurs are what stop this from happening. They ignore a reality where the things THEY understand do not exist and have priority. The average O-1 officer can't imagine themselves or their command not having certain communication tools. The Boss at the top? Just yell louder, it's how wars have been won in the past, it should work now. The joint chiefs of staff are not young, and have every intention to keep it that way.

Telling the DoD no printers would legit cause an existential crisis for career officers. You cannot suggest something less popular among them. This is not an exaggeration. Do you think a tank platoon commander, or submarine commander, can imagine an operations room without paper laying around? Because they cannot imagine it, it does not exist. While I agree this is the way forward, it will not happen for another 20 years.
I believe I'm using value[1] in the standard economic way as "measure of the benefit provided by a good or service to an economic agent" often framed as "what is the maximum amount of money a specific actor is willing and able to pay for the good or service?".

It's not the same as market price or market value. Market price is what you actually pay, value is the maximum you would hypothetically pay. The difference between the two is the "consumer surplus"[2].

It is situational, but I don't think it varies much in this scenario. You aren't any hungrier inside the airport than you are outside. If food was equally scarce in both locations, you would pay the same amount.

The value is the same in both locations, but the price is higher in the airport. That means consumer surplus is higher outside the airport. The cost to the producer is also roughly the same, so the producer surplus is higher in the airport. The producer has used their monopoly position to take a larger portion of the economic surplus inside the airport.

Why do I as a Mac user care about cross platform apps? Even as a long time Windows user, why would I care about cross platform apps?

I chose a platform because the platform and the apps meet my set of priorities.

As far as how that affects Linux users, even if I did prefer Linux as a developer platform, why make it my daily driver instead of running it in a VM or with something like WSL2?

"Business logic" normally dictates the relative ordering and contextual legality of certain operations and data values.

This doesn't apply to creative apps. Do this then that, or that then this, or the other and then that and the other other, etc, etc.

> It's still "enter data/modify data" along with suitable UI/ux and views to enable that.

While I agree that this is technically true, I'm not sure anything useful comes of viewing things in this way. Undecided, but doubtful.

> Still, the user has a goal, a process of achieving that goal

This just isn't true. Talk to creative people. Even someone doing a task like audio mastering, which is not particularly creative, doesn't begin with a goal. Musicians typically have only a vague idea, if they have an idea at all, of what they are trying to accomplish. That will change over time as they work on a piece and the process coalesces into "I'm trying to ..." as opposed to the earlier stage of endless "let's try ..."
If you do this,

int count = 1;
int limit = Float.floatToIntBits(1.0f);
for (int intBits = Float.floatToIntBits(0.0f); intBits <= limit; intBits++) {
count++;
}

it will start out with the same performance as your previous one, and then after a few tries the JVM will optimize it into a constant.

Turning on the Lights at the Night Club
Personally I see the ossified bifurcation between users and developers as a major defeat that perhaps I won't live to see reversed.

It was not set in stone that people would be by design dumbed down progressively as computing caught on, rather than assimilated into the computing world as 1st class citizens.

In a parallel universe something like the Smalltalk, LISP or Forth machines were widely adopted and the dichotomy between user and developer was blurred to mean an incidental situation related to a specific set of code.

It's hard to even convey in words how damaging it is, and can still be much worse, that the user was corralled first as a consumer and then as the product. Wholesale across all the industry. And the sad thing is that it wasn't like this, at all, as late as the 1980s.

> So basically, you're denying that it's possible to do excellent cross-platform apps at all. OK. I'm not sure I agree with that, but it's a position.

I mean, motor racing, modulo the clever cheating on engine designs.
It’s neither awkward nor slow, it’s just tooling that sucks (we have to type in a bare textarea, which is designed for text). Add some helpers and keys to the keyboard and it’s done. Like an email field makes your on-screen kbd have @ and . characters, you can add {} and [] and autoindent.

Best for thinking is actually walking around, while not being distracted by anything else.

Yeah but ‘Turing complete languages’ have their own limitations compared to no code, like being comparatively slow to develop in.

Hmm, RGamma describes reality: it is a fact that web browsers don't purely browse The Web, has been for decades now, and there is zero indication this is going to change.

You seem to demand that people ignore this reality, because you don't like it. This is not helpful.

I don't like this reality either, but despite that I find your statement also factually incorrect: "native applications have existed for decades, no reason to bloat the scope of a browser".

Of course there are reasons, otherwise people/companies won't do it, and users won't use bloated browser that give them no benefits.

I agree that downsides outweigh the upsides, but the upsides are obvious and immediate while the downsides are long-term and mostly subtle...
I managed to avoid Covid for three years but finally got it. I suspect it is one of the new more transmissible strains from China after they opened up and 230 million Chinese got sick, because I got it at the Trader Joe's next to the San Jose airport and live in an Asian neighborhood. I've been sick for 6 weeks now, so I don't know if that qualifies as long Covid.

After years of hearing it was "just a flu" I didn't think much of it interacting with my bipolar type II disorder, but I noticed I was hypomanic with Covid in a strange sort of way and my quetiapine no longer seemed to work. Other strange things have happened, such as I am a vegetarian now because eating meat tastes repulsive to me. Dairy is ok. I also can't stand using cannabis anymore. The high feels different, much harsher and weirder.

Not much research has been done in the areas of Covid interaction with psychiatric disorders, psyche meds and interactions with recreational drugs but I'm hoping things get back to normal so I don't have to keep researching it. All except for the meat part, because I'm happy being a vegetarian. And I'll save money at the cannabis store.

I have 3 high-specced trashcans (Mac Pro 2013 with 12/24 cores and 32Gb RAM) that we were using as build agents at work and they were decommissioned after Ventura dropped support.

Frankly, they struggle in desktop use with Monterey so I was considering just installing Linux on them and using them as servers (but they're not great as always-on machines for home since the power usage never drops below 130W even when completely idle).
At least two of the final three you mentioned run on Windows and macOS, meaning that somewhere there's a cross-platform layer for the GUI. And yet apparently, that works.

There's a lesson there, though I'm not sure what it is.

One one hand, sure anyone with power to censor will censor, human nature. On the other hand, so long as most parents can only afford to send their children to a single assigned school, what is taught in this school has to be curated. Hopefully nobody is suggesting that they are taught based on works of various 20th century dictators, even as adults should be able to buy these books from willing sellers. What then? Local community values that work for 90% of parents seem to be the least evil way to decide. Why would anyone else have the moral authority to dictate what is taught to one's own children?

Em, this isn't meant as a snipe but has to be said because you clearly didn't read and comprehend.

Read what was said, and make sure you look up the definition of words like over-generalization beforehand (its a logical fallacy). If you can't pass reading comprehension at a grade school level, there seriously is almost no skilled job your suitable at. This is basic fundamental stuff. You need to do this for almost everything in a professional environment.

> And these people, there are the ones telling the average rest what they should do

Following that reasoning, you can literally claim anyone who communicates anything is telling someone what they should do, and the author tends to fall into this bias to group people doing just that. So anyone they want or perceive as negative then falls into this group which in fact encompasses all humanity (because communication is inherent in almost everything we do). This is literally in the definition of over-generalization, which is what I said (if you go back and read). Its also very common and manipulative tactic in identity politics often used for malign infuence against those that don't critically think to dupe them.

Unfortunately, this lacks any kind of rational thought, is biased and follows flawed reasoning, and as a result lacks any kind of credibility, and rightfully so.

Well explained! We see the same phenomenon in bank "savings" accounts, which only pay a meager interest rate, but protect the saver from essentially all the downside risk. (Contrast with, for example, investing directly in the stock market, etc.)

Just for fun, I'm going to poke at this:

> ... [T]here is no practical way to budget for randomly giving most people large pay raises throughout the year

I think we can find examples of labor markets that do expose more "upside" to workers, and then see how the "downside" is handled in those instances. Contractors (1099 in the U.S.) comes immediately to mind... They typically make a lot higher rate (I'd guess around double although I often hear lower numbers, which I personally think is too low to make it a good deal) but must pay their full income tax (instead of half), their full health insurance, and are subject to be the first to be let go when the company needs to cut costs, i.e. higher risk of termination, so must be able to save for time between jobs.

"Boom" economies can drive labor prices very high. I think we've been seeing this in temporary nursing lately, where the wages go very high, especially if you're willing to travel or locate in remote places. Of course, the "boom" doesn't last forever, and eventually wages will stabilize at a lower rate. Note again that these temporary positions.

(So far it seems like the higher wages come with more "risk" put onto the laborer.)

I'm sure there are some even better examples.
