My bed bug experience was utterly traumatic. It was about 7 years ago. I lived in a small studio apartment where the landlord didn't care about anything. I've come to understand that landlords are utterly incapable of treating resilient infestations due to many factors.

I finally solved it (just before moving the hell out of there) by contracting with a professional, reputable exterminator who did a thorough job, and signed me to a subscription service that promised followup treatments which I did indeed require.

Come to find out that this was a fluke, and reputable exterminators will not enter or deal with apartment tenants because of professional courtesy for the disreputable ones who are contracted with the landlords.

I suffer from C-PTSD and any bugs crawling on me trigger utter trauma and emotional flashbacks. Now I love insects, don't mind them in the wild, but I can't abide pests.

I was sleeping on the kitchen floor, I had to stop volunteering at church so they wouldn't spread, I couldn't move until they were eradicated, my life was in tatters.

Thank god for $EXTERMINATOR who saved my life and my bacon.
Some good points are presented. Interestingly, Vlang (https://vlang.io/) has the .filter(), .map(), etc... and addresses Nil/Null (relegating it to unsafe). Error handling is done differently (with many liking that style), but this point tends towards a programmer's preferences.
Not simply "like", but actually having a substantial vested financial interest and having the means and opportunity to do something about it.

It's well known in the reading community that "reading" and "talking about the books you want to read" and "buying and owning books" are all very different things; I guess the missing piece would be "talking about the books you've bought and now own" which is sharing pictures of "shelfies" etc. I'm not really into the last one but the first three are all very enjoyable to me, in very different ways, although I only really enjoy buying physical copies of nonfiction books; for fiction I tend to just go for ebooks.
Maybe they could use Bard to help them fix all of the bugs they’re loathe to ask humans to deal with? That was one of the under appreciated-mistakes which tanked new Google products: many of their most enthusiastic users signed up for Google Apps for Domains, and then Google blocked them from using and evangelizing everything they launched for the next decade.

I’ve seen another variation of this at work: we have two domains registered with G-Suite, Google professional services ghosted on a consolidation process, and this means that only one of those sees the licenses. They block all access to services when you’re logged in to the other domain, even just to view a third-party’s shared document unless you buy a second license for the same person. This has been a slow gravitational win for Office 365.
I like how we just spent a couple years talking about how the police are are dumb and uneducated and now we are saying that 9 months of education is too long.
You are correct that deadlocks can be caused by signals occurring before the wait starts, and thus some sort of mechanism to ensure this does not happen is needed, but I explained as much in the article. The point of this API is that the atomic lock-switch is not restricted to just locks; and further, in some situations, no lock-switch is needed at all.

The former is simple enough, and directly equivalent to what FreeBSD's API allows you to do (and what Haiku's API provides as "convenience methods", as the article notes), and is "atomic" -- it just pushes the atomicity up a level and lets the programmer control it more directly:

ConditionVariableEntry entry;
gSomeConditionVariable->Add(&entry);
mutex_unlock(&someLock);
/* (I could unlock more locks here, if needed, I'm not limited to 1) */
entry.Wait();
mutex_lock(&someLock);

The latter case is the more interesting and unique one, and the article references one place it is actually used in practice (team/process creation), though it doesn't give a pseudocode example, so let me try to give one here:

ConditionVariableEntry entry;
someLongRunningOperation.conditionVariable->Add(&entry);
someLongRunningOperation.start();
/* (I can do whatever I want here, no need to Wait immediately) */
entry.Wait();

Since this "long-running operation" is not even started until after the local Entry has been Add'ed to the Variable, there's no possible way for this operation to complete and signal before we have started 'waiting' (because, even if the Wait() call is at the end, it's the Add() call that counts.)
Yet this scenario (currently authenticated phone is gone) just seems a baffling concept to the people making these apps. I need to be able to make an offline backup for the day when the phone is lost or destroyed.

Legit pricing vs pure greed(Epic) hiding in a knight in shining armour fighting for all developers. As a dev myself I know the tax is high but Apple does a great job and not gonna say should be arbitrary 8.5% lower or whatever Epic is trying to wring out
On a related note I've been keeping an eye out for a really good ORM in a typed language that is good with relationships without tons of boilerplate, I guess it's hard to do. Hibernate has way too many annotations for my liking, and I'm not into the code generation of JOOQ. I bet you could build it in Nim pretty easily with its compile time stuff.

Diesel might get there in a few years... :)

I know people are gonna judge the whole ORM thing, but writing raw SQL is nice for performance but not for getting something out quickly, or prototyping, when you have lots of relationships.

It's not that the apps wouldn't use iOS APIs, it's that the developers wouldn't use Apple tools to develop them.

Presumably every iOS developer has an iDevice to test and debug on. The right to use the iOS APIs on-device is inherent in having legal and physical posession of it.

No, you can buy it that way. But you can also buy them pre-rolled just like cigarettes. There are also so many other forms - pills, lozenges, breath strips, etc. The THC infused beverages are gauged in the same way beer is - a light beverage will have about the same impact as a light beer, a standard beverage will have about the same impact as a standard beer, and strong... you get the idea. We actually don't have strong THC beverages, but if we did, you know exactly what it would be comparable to in terms of strength.

My partner doesn't like getting too buzzed, so I always get gummies that are about 1/3 the strength of normal gummies. And normal gummies aren't that strong. You can buy them super strong, but that's a conscious choice that again is reflected on the package and labelling. You never have to cut your edibles. You just buy the strength you want.

Incidentally, whether it is indica or sativa is in the small print here. The typical effects are listed on the vendor web pages.

The problems you list were certainly true as recently as 2 or 3 years ago, and pretty much limited to the illegal or grey markets. Legalization has taken it a whole lot further ahead.

They are professionally produced and controlled products these days.

PS: You can even buy cannabis products with nearly no THC in them. They are high in CBD, specifically for medical use since they are not psychoactive. Apparently CBD gummies are used by a lot of people for insomnia, because it is indeed relaxing, with no high feelings whatsoever. Much better than most OTC sleeping pills for that reason.

So literally everything you said is based on purchasing from the streets or grey market, and not professional or controlled outlets. The range of what's available is huge, and everything is clearly labelled so you won't be making any more mistake than you would overdrinking that 6 pack example you mentioned.
It’s not impossible but it’s damn hard.

DC banned gas blowers effective January 2022 & it's been wonderful. It's so much more peaceful.

I do think the alternate version also was compelling, where cities make loud & quiet hours. Part of the really painful hard thing about noise pollution is that it ends up becoming perpetual. There's 10 minutes of peace, then another gas blower starts up someplace else.

Trying to make hours for noise sounds great, but it's also notable that in the US at least, a huge amount of the grounds-keeping is a limited number of roving contractors. It's their full time job to be doing effectively making noise. If we were super advanced we could schedule some kind of roving zone system, changing hour by hour or day by day... but simply getting rid of the really bad noise offenders has proven to be cheap & enormously effective.

> You'd think it would be "solved" by now... Or is that just in Java world?

I'm not sure what you mean but I'll try to relate. Automatic garbage collection is a problem not just in the Java world. It's also needed in JavaScript, Python, Go, Haskell, etc.

Citation needed, but I suspect the Java Virtual Machine ecosystem has the most advanced GC algorithms in the world. Even if that's not true, I can tell you with certainty that other language environments have adopted features many years after Java did, such as JavaScript V8 introducing concurrent generational copying in year 2017 ( https://v8.dev/blog/orinoco-parallel-scavenger ). I'm sure there are examples in Go as well where their GC implemented features that Java had a decade earlier.

Not knowing the exact cost of things you’re buying is ridiculously annoying. When I travel to Europe or Asia it’s such a pleasure to buy something and it’s actually the advertised price. Add to that the fact that since advertised prices tend to be round numbers, in the US you end up with prices like 4.13 and end up with a bunch of pennies as opposed to just paying 4 bucks in most other countries.

Also, the whole “know where your money is going” is a highly ideological argument. I know where my money is going when the highly publicized tax rates are changed in a budget. In most countries news organizations will spend weeks every year, if not months, discussing the expected changes in the budget.

In the meanwhile, I have absolutely 0 idea what percentage of the money I’m paying to buy a coke is going to pay lobbyists and politicians to ensure they can continue using HFCS, and preventing proper labeling from being implemented, or what percentage of the money goes into advertising to ensure kids (and I stay hooked onto Coke), or what percentage of my money goes to ensure they get primary access to all the water in a region already suffering from drought, etc.
Yep. I'm in that situation right now, finishing up with a kitchen rebuild (water damage). I'm livid with the GC for the mediocre quality of the work and his audacity to consistently lie to my face even about trivial things (e.g. about written communication or insisting a 20A circuit needs a 20A receptacle).

The quality of the work though… it's not that I could do better, it's that I've done better at specific tasks e.g. when they R&R'd a ceiling fixture I'd installed. We would've parted ways a long time ago if they'd done things right the first time. Instead I'm slowly going over their work to make sure I don't get screwed even more.

Tons of people here hate Apple, but the GP’s point that Epic is not a very sympathetic defendant is very true.

They’re not some small developer losing 30% that could help feed their family, they’re a huge company that is (arguably) exploiting children. They weren’t hurt by a sudden Apple price hike, they agreed to all the terms fairly then unilaterally said “screw you, my money!” In about the most blatant way possible.

And it’s pretty obvious this isn’t because they want to save 30%, it’s because they want to be the store charging others a big percentage and taking game sales revenue. The moment they win this they would have launched suits against the console makers to try to get their way there too.

Epic clearly only cared about themselves and only wrapped themselves in the cloak of “help all developers” for PR purposes.

I suspect a lot of people don’t care one bit about Epic. They just happen to be the name on the plaintiff’s chair.
The WebAuthN standard (and corresponding browser implementations) do inject browser supplied attestation of the requesting domain, so only a horribly broken implementation would sign a request for mail.google.hackers.ru with the key provisioned for mail.google.com - the user has no input into what the browser supplies, hence its phishing resistance.

That being said, there's no end-to-end verification of the server, so any DNS-poisoning or proxy-MITM-ing of traffic that presents a certificate trusted by the browser will validly present the Passkey implementation a domain that matches a validly provisioned key, allowing session hijacking or the start of oracle attacks on the private key itself.

Also: phishing the recovery passwords to add a new device to the synched keychain is definitely a thing.

3TB for the text of 13K user sound crazy, you're right. But for the bill, strictly speaking about bandwidth, a 10mbps unmetered connection gets you roughly that. And 10mbps is pretty uncommon now because it's so low. So I'd expect the bandwidth bill to essentially be free (i.e. included)

AppStore is merely a package manager for iDevices. It is not it's own market any more than YUM is for RHEL or FreeBSD Ports is for FreeBSD. The market is software. Apple does not control half the entire software market.

It depends a lot on what sort of game it is I think. If the game relies on triggering human environmental instincts to be enjoyable, like forest-feeling, or fire-feeling, or bird-feeling, etc, then more photorealism seems helpful, if not all-important. If it's mostly about something else then not really helpful.
Thank you! I am very fond of the non-grouped taskbar with title text and small icons, which is the classic functional design in Windows 95/98/2000/Me. I turned off grouping ever since XP. Starting in 7, I turned off the default big icons and re-enabled text. This served me well in 8 and 10. But seeing how Windows 11 had the useless, offensive taskbar, I vowed to never upgrade to it and declare 10 as the end of the line. But now there is hope again.
Yeah agree. I would rather pay $10/year or something. Right now I still have to trust that the developer won't just copy all the data I'm writing. I don't have any reason to trust them if I can't see the code and I'm not paying. Not going to use it for that reason.
There were similar tools to watch commercial installations and reproducing them outside of the proprietary tools.

Also Red Hat labs had something which watched an installation including the users commands including sudo for later replay. If I find it's name I'll edit or reply to this.
One can never delete data from the Internet; one can only Streisand it.

> The gatekeeper shall allow and technically enable the installation and effective use of third-party software applications or software application stores using, or interoperating with, its operating system and allow those software applications or software application stores to be accessed by means other than the relevant core platform services of that gatekeeper.

That's the user's side. Let's look at the developer's:

> [...]Furthermore, the gatekeeper shall allow business users and alternative providers of services provided together with, or in support of, core platform services, free of charge, effective interoperability with, and access for the purposes of interoperability to, the same operating system, hardware or software features, regardless of whether those features are part of the operating system, as are available to, or used by, that gatekeeper when providing such services.

Note the "free of charge".
I would expect that the first attempts at attaching a handle would have been done in another way, and after twine was invented the former way was abandoned and forgotten.

One very low tech method is to drill a hole in the stone and wedge the handle in it - just like how a modern axe haft is attached.

Drilling a hole in stone isn't that hard. One twirls a stick (the drill) between one's hands, and use a mixture of sand and water at the work face. It's slow, but it works. I read that the ancient Egyptians used this technique.

If you base it on the App Store account that handles both cases pretty well from Apple’s perspective.

US users can buy all the EU phones they want, with a US account you’re treated like every other American.

EU users can buy a phone anywhere and since they have an EU store account they get side loading.

Where the phone was purchased from is irrelevant. All that matters is the verified payment address.
Oh good point, they do already have to do this don’t they.
In my experience the number of white collar professionals telling young people to work in the trades is at least 10x the number of blue collar professionals telling young people to work in the trades.

People just adore telling people to do something they themselves wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole. It’s like giving out stock tips without buying the stock yourself.

If it’s so obvious that being an electrician is the ticket to a great paying stable job, why’s there a shortage? Maybe it is that (from the article), “the job was too wet, too messy, too cold, too dirty, too hot.”

I remember when I graduated college the “shortage” was library science professionals and that ended up going over like a lead balloon. Then it was a nursing shortage and now nobody wants to be a nurse because it’s obvious the job really sucks.

Perhaps the most valuable lesson to learn here is that people love giving out advice and that most advice is awful.
