The problem is that’s not what the EU law says.

This feels a lot like a case where the EU may have wanted Apple to lose all their controls but they didn’t put it in the law.

Apple can still charge 30% (perhaps minus CC fees). They can still force you to be a developer in good standing. They can still limit what apps can do via their APIs. Heck they might be able to give App Store apps extra privileges because the developer choose the App Store.

If they wanted iOS to look as open as Windows or MacOS they needed to specify that.
What an arrogent statement. You should read it over and think about how you interact with others.
I don't believe this. There are plenty of huge apps that are only on one platform or another. As an example third party Reddit apps largely are single platform.
Some companies must treat their employees well in order to maximize profits, and others are better off doing the opposite. It’s more a question of the overall market than ‘core values’ or other such BS.

Even within companies you can see both approaches used. Disney animators are treated well even as they’re worked to the bone because they can’t get away with actually mistreating them. Other employees aren’t nearly as lucky.
Reminds me of a story about a surgeon who was an angry opponent of robot surgery until he watched it. When it went in though a tiny hole for what use to require cutting a door in the patient he was already convinced.

Most people here fall in the discussing the kit quadrant.
Ah yes, the feature designed to prevent the product from working.

Back in the 90s our product--and many of our competitors in EDA--integrated with FlexLM (then Globetrotter, then Macrovision, then I lost track). It was clever and flexible, especially when talking about seats and site licenses and combining different vendors onto one license server, all before Internet was serious.

In reality, it was painful for users and they lost so much time fighting it: someone forgot to "check in" a license before using it, or the site license server was down, or you had the wrong feature line, or dozens of other failure modes.
Residential electricity is not that hard, the main issue is that the trade makes it harder than it should be by sticking to outdated practices: my dad who did a lot of electrical back in France always laugh at me when I tell him people still use EMT or wire nuts (seriously guys, wire nuts are literally illegal in France by code, and lever nuts and screw nuts are so much easier), and is scared that we don't have GFCIs/RCDs before our main breaker here.

A lot of it is market capture by established trade folks.

> It carries the bias that the "correct" way is to install apps from the centralized app store. The term conveys that this is an alternative and undesirable thing to do.

But... It is. This is a designed for purpose device, chosen to be used freely and this the "correct" way to install. Who defines the "correct" way if not the OS developers?

This is off to me. I have not worked in that language in years but it was adopting c-like features decades ago. In our computational code, we replaced all memory allocation, system interface and I/o code with c, leaving the fortran code as basically algebra. That was far easier for the vector computer compilers to optimize due to well defined memory usage and layout. There was a tremendous amount of work in compilers for this stuff which can’t have gone away.

I would think that algebra and matrix math should be effective in any language that can be properly compiled for the architecture. Assuming an intermediate language or layer in the compiler, c and fortran (and other languages) share the working bits of the compiler. Well designed codes should be fine. And I assume lanl has good math. Good libraries also.

Some tuning might be required as architectures change but math code looks the same. Given a consistent api, the cs intensive stuff stuff can be in a different language calling libraries. Psi4 implements qm calculations in a python top level package.
It would seem that the "secrets roach motel" model was the most secure and sane option for Authenticator. In that way, it mimicks the Yubikey or other hardware TOTP keys, where the secrets go in but they can't come out.

Everyone with a Yubikey knows that the secrets aren't coming out and they will need a backup. It would be foolhardy to rely on a Yubikey alone, when the risk model obviously entails loss or theft of the device itself. That's what paper codes are for.

It would seem that the QR export, and now this account sync, is Google weakening security as a concession to intense end-user pressure.

Yeah, it sucks to lose all your TOTP secrets at once; that's why you form a contingency plan and stow your paper backup or maintain a spare device.
Waitlists are magic at destroying any chance of word-of-mouth helping spread a product.

“Hey Bob, try out this new Bard thing!”

“I can’t, there’s a wait list.”

“Never mind then, you can just use ChatGPT instead.”

PS: it doesn’t fill me with confidence that Azure enabled OpenAI to scale to 10M users in record time, but a GCP can’t even scrape together enough compute to avoid a wait list on something comparable to LLMs hobbyists now run on their phones.
No, not even close, but thanks for the flattering comment.
critical and excellent point.
It's paywalled. That's the third time I've stated it but you seem to want to ignore it. I feel you are arguing in bad faith.

I suggest you read the community guidelines.

You've never witnessed an underperforming developer? Who among a group of peers is going to deal with that?

What about conflicts and disputes? Adults can become quite childish over the smallest issues and sometimes an impartial mediator needs to step in.

And when budgets constrict, do you just draw short straws to decide who quits for the greater good or do you all volunteer to take equal pay cuts? You all openly share your salaries right? When budgets increase, do you all slice the pie equitably?

And what about a good developer not realizing their potential? Who will nudge them to take the next step and sign up to a training session or apply for a promotion in another group, or even look for new jobs because you know they've hit a ceiling here? Your teammates who rely on you are very unlikely to send you packing for your own good.

And when someone has a personal crisis, does a peer or product manager get consulted about their private issues? Bob from the API team just had their teenage son overdose on fentanyl, do you think he's going to be super talkative about needing a couple weeks off on short notice and in a state of mind to perform some transition planning?
So what I not understand about this design is how one uses it. In the classic condvar application one waits atomically with the lock because otherwise the other thread may deliver the signal before the wait happens, leading to a deadlock.

Here it seems there is no atomicity. How does this get used?
Tried to read the report. Somehow the font was way, Way, WAY too small to read.

I don't know what concerns, worries, fears the report authors have about Fortran, but here is an easy chance for a solution:

There is an open source, easy to find program "f2c", as I recall and without looking up in my notes, from Bell Labs, that will translate Fortran source code to C source code.

In my project, I wanted to use some powerful, old, public Fortran code but wanted to call it from my .NET code via (Microsoft's .NET feature) "Platform Invoke" and found the documentation easier to use with C than Fortran. So I used f2c, compiled the C code, and used Platform Invoke to call the C code.

Worked fine! No problems. Then went on with my .NET code!!

Soooo, in simple terms, with f2c and C compilers, don't strictly need a Fortran compiler.

Diatomaceous earth seems to bother/deter them, but it really doesn't kill them very quickly.

During an infestation about five years ago, I was curious if what I'd bought and sprinkled everywhere was any use at all, so I captured a bug in a glass and absolutely covered it.

It continued wandering around in there for 4 more days.

But I agree with a lot of the rest of what you're saying :)

Also:
- double sided carpet tape is difficult, if not impossible for them to cross, so wrapping it around the leg of a chair or bed in addition to a trap can be a big help
- you can measure the heat of a dryer with an instant thermometer by putting a few towels in the dryer and pulling them out right at the peak, before the cool cycle at the end, and tossing the thermometer right into the middle of them. Most dryers are suitably hot, but you should check before relying on it -- you should look up the temperature needed to ensure the eggs are destroyed, and always do a dryer run without washing first, so the heat applies directly and isn't just evaporating water! But after all that: lots and lots of stuff can be put in the dryer, and tied off safely afterwards in bags / taken away from a place it can be reinfested.
- putting books or electronics in an oven, even set very low, is usually a bad idea.
Can you point to where it says that in the law?

I haven’t heard anyone show that in the reporting I’ve seen.

That may have been the intention (I suspect so) but I don’t think the letter of the law made that clear. Which means it will take either an updated law or a court case to clarify that before it happens.

Because Apple is clearly not going to just roll over.
They avoided putting more than $500 of work into any vehicle and taking jobs over four hours long. The ideal AFC customer, Henson told me, is someone who shows up, does their own work, and gets their car to run for 300,000 miles.

Work anywhere and access well-paying jobs
Hey guys. I just made this new platform called Remoty: https://www.remoty.io/

Here's the problems i had and the solutions i thought of:

1. Difficulties in finding remote jobs: Many job seekers struggle to find high-paying remote jobs that match their skills and experience.

2. Limited job opportunities: Some remote job platforms only focus on job openings in certain regions (North America anda Europe), which can limit the job opportunities available to job seekers.

3. Lack of transparency: Platforms don't provide clear information about the companies that are hiring, which can make it difficult for job seekers to make informed decisions about potential employers.

4. Slow job search: Other sites have slow and inefficient search functions, making it difficult for job seekers to quickly find relevant job openings.

5. Lack of quality control: Jobs boards don't properly screen job postings, leading to low-quality job listings that waste job seekers' time.

My platform aims to address these problems by providing a fast and efficient remote job search that includes job opportunities from around the world, with transparent information about hiring companies and a focus on high-quality job listings.

I wanted to comment that the site was launched a few weeks ago and is still growing. I will try to add many more features

Operationally lax companies aren't a panacea either. Constantly answering 2AM pages because you can't reliably ship working software wears people down. Am I understanding what is meant by operational rigor correctly? Life is easier when you eat your vegetables than eating cake everyday. It's not exciting to practice rigor but it's better than the alternative. You can have processes and reasons for doing things a particular way, and still be nice to your colleagues -- these are not mutually exclusive concepts. I doubt the real reason these places mentioned aren't great places to work is primarily due to operations.
GPT-4 in Winter SQL-Land: Tackling Snowflake Schemas
We explore the seamless integration of GPT-4 with our system to generate TPC-DS queries, utilizing the TPC-DS schema comprising 24 tables and 425 columns. We selected a sample of 10 queries, some of which extend to a remarkable three pages in length!

Impressively, we managed to recreate 9 out of the 10 sampled queries. We executed these generated queries side-by-side with original TPCDS query on the same Snowflake warehouse. Only one generated query lagged behind, while the remaining queries either matched or outperformed their official TPC-DS counterparts. Intriguingly, one query proved to be a whopping 5 times faster! (Please note that this observation should be taken with a grain of salt due to the limited sample size, and further investigation is warranted in the future.)
I always assumed university is supposed to change the way you see the world. Keep in mind that it's not just academic experiences that will do that. And I fear there's no one answer for everyone. I learned about Deep Springs College in California much too late in my academic career. It would have been perfect for the me I was when I left high school.

I can't give you any answers, but maybe I can help you flesh out some questions.

How do you want to change the world? Maybe pass laws that make it easier to trade green credits? Or build financial systems that reduce debt peonage in the (so called) third world. Maybe you want to build a machine that sucks CO2 out of the atmosphere efficiently? Or do you want to ponder the inner depths of the psyche and emerge so fundamentally whole the rest of the world has to put down what they're doing and listen to YOUR wisdom.

Find a PERSON who is doing what you want to do (in academia or in the real world) and ask them how they got where they were and what they could have done to make their journey easier. Take the glossy recruitment pamphlets some universities produce with a grain of salt. Unless you're doing specialized science or engineering, it's the instructors that matter more than the facilities. Finding a professor who will invite you to participate in his research (even as an undergrad) is far more important than the college's reputation.

Maybe learn a skill you can fall back on if all your plans go south.

There's no shame in joining the military for 3 or 4 years if you really don't know what you want to do. But make sure you save the money you earn and don't let them cheat you out your educational benefits. Don't volunteer for anything and stay away from 55 gallon drums of chemicals.

Clear thinking is not all it's cracked up to be. A fuzzy misapprehension may lead to a hidden underlying truth. If something is obvious, ask yourself how the world would have to change so it appears ridiculous. If something is ridiculous ask yourself how the world would have to change for it to be obvious.

Try to limit college debt.
Tech company or some other sector, the main goal of any business amounts to making money. That may involve working on "pure tech" however defined, but it will also necessarily require implementing solutions to business problems. Some of those problems will look more interesting and challenging than others.

Where in the organization you might find more satisfying work comes down the organization and what you find interesting. I doubt it has much to do with job titles, though if you have to spend a lot of time managing other people and going to meetings that won't feel like working on "pure tech."

EVERYTHING on iOS is sandboxed. Even Apple’s own software (though some of it gets special carveouts).

There is no reason to believe side loaded apps won’t get the same treatment, and every reason to believe Apple has been doubling down on securing and tightening up the current sandbox implementation.
Exactly. Henson is quoted as saying:

> “At this point in my life,” he said, “the highest compliment someone can say about me is that I’m a ‘good man.’ That’s all that matters to me.”

...and:

> Before he started work on their car, Henson sat the Ellises down in their kitchen and made it clear what he was all about. He was a communist, he said, and his repair work was in service of that.

The shop is probably a "business" on paper, because it has to be in America: capitalism has fucked things up so bad that it's impossible to create legal organizations that help people without the assumption of a profit motive.
Sure, you can cherry pick bad events that happen throughout history. But the truth is that:

- the war in Ukraine is significantly less deadly / destructive / etc than basically every other major war in the last 100 years.

- not even sure where to start with this one? Downfall of women's rights... where?

- LGBT+ are more accepted globally (and in the US) than they've ever been.

- Income inequality is a silly metric to care about when actual poverty is going down.

- More people and companies care about climate change than at any other point in history.

Are you seeing the trend? Just because some things might be "bad" by your standards doesn't mean they're not the best they've ever been, and doesn't mean they're not getting better.

An essay, an attempt, a try at something.

Promising premise immediately deflated by the four-square (and then the paragraphoid to over-explain the four-square).

Fine, let's scan over text because the four-square was over-explained. Groan, "Kit heads" -- that's the agon in this essay? Creators vs. consumers, artists vs. amateurs...or something else?

>> Kit heads will often say (or imply) that having the best kit leads to the best performance. That doesn't seem true. I couldn't ski the Lhotse Couloir even on the best gear ever made.

Did he really take this path to get to the "a good musician can play nice music well on a crappy instrument" insight, even if he doesn't quite reach the shore? Really, he made it only to "violinist holding Stradivarius isn't necessarily virtuoso". Never-the-less, I guess it was wrapped in a fit-for-consumption-by-management homily. Crappy kit for all!

>> I believe that one of the most important things an engineer or technical leader can do for their career is to practice, and develop, strong communication skills. It may seem like this belief is at odds with the point of this post.

Not in the way you think, friend. There is a stark difference between actually having an idea and expressing it well. It is quite another thing entirely for an engineer to sort out the muddled thinking of others (a daily job hazard). But I applaud the attempt, especially because I've been so critical. An essay!

> To my understanding, Passkeys implementations don't sync private keys, they sync and cross-sign public keys.

I haven't seen anything in the FIDO alliance or vendor (Apple, Google, MS) documentation to suggest that they're cross-signed public keys - can you point to some that I may have missed?

The reason why I ask is on the face of it, it doesn't make sense to implement in this way: It would mean that each new device would have its own keypair per service and cross signed by at least one other trusted device.
Which could be fine, but now each service needs to store n public key pairs (one per device) after validating that the new key has been signed by a known key.

Then, when a new device is added to the Keychain (in apple's case), that device needs to generate m new keypairs for m services, have them cross-signed and then proactively registered for each service.

It does make sense to implement it as the person you're replying to suggests, where a shared private key is shared over an authenticated, end-to-end encrypted process - with the corresponding weakness that if the authentication method for adding new devices to an existing Keychain is compromised, so are all passkeys.

Hence the question.

There are 3500 species of mosquito, of which only about 200 bite humans. If we eliminated biting mosquitos, tad poles and such will still have plenty of non-biting mosquito larvae to eat. And compared to bees and moths, mosquitos are not nearly as efficient pollinators. If all biting mosquito species suddenly vanished, the effect on ecosystems would be negligible, and it would stop them from killing a million people a year. The benefits would far, far outweigh the risks.
My plumber is the same way. One man business and said it’s hard to keep employees as once trained they quickly job shop for a raise and he can’t match the bigger firms’ pay or they’d strike out on their own. So he gave up on it and stays a one man operation.
Not the best for me if there’s an emergency in the middle of the night but having a plumber I trust and who will show me what he’s doing is a fair trade off.

I'm in software, but have built 3 houses and did all my own electrical. If I had to pick a blue collar job (I've done most residential trades) I'd pick electrician. While I was hanging and taping drywall to pay for school I was sure I was on the right track by going to school and getting into software.

I couldn't imagine working these jobs when I was older - that was enough to steer me away from any construction.
