Then don’t buy an iPhone. I think it’s ridiculous that we are asking the government to save us from our own choices.

As much as you and I don’t like it, what Apple is doing is perfectly legal. And as much as you or I might support a change in the law, you’re not going to get my support if the legislation is truly universal and not just a narrow-band targeting of a single company for developing an ecosystem which resonated with a large number of people. Write some legislation which applies to ALL platforms which run software and maybe I’ll take it seriously.
I worked for bbg for 16 years. I should have quit 5-7 years ago. Anyway I'd be worried, assuming this story is correct noting there was no noise about this on the inside -- for employees.
As others have mentioned, Indigo is entirely written in Scala.js. Therefore, it runs on JavaScript in browsers. There is no JVM at all at run-time.

(A JVM is required to compile the code, but what you run and deploy has no dependency on any JVM stuff.)

Source: I am the lead author/maintainer of Scala.js and I wrote a personal game project in Indigo.

When I put the word 'bot' in that guideline I had in mind something quite different from LLMs - it was more about asking people not to post things like "zomg this thread is overrun by $nation bots i guess that's the end of hacker news".

The community response to LLMs (including to comments that read like they were generated by an LLM) is more complex and not necessarily abusive, and I'm inclined to let it play out. So yeah, technically we should probably take the word 'bots' out of that guideline as ozarker's sibling comment suggests.

Which ARM computers where you installing arbitrary applications on?

What flip phones? They were all locked down on the carrier side.

You're still not installing arbitrary applications on game consoles even now that they're running x86.

Stop speaking like that please.
I implemented something similar to the approach in this article. I was building a payment transaction system and ran into the issue of having locks and transactions in the database causing higher and higher latency as the queue got larger.

I never coined a term, but I implemented an “ALTP” using in memory cache library in elixir. The library is called nebulex. It was so simple to implement. Since the library supported distribution out of the box. I had a distributed in memory transactional guarantee that worked well in a short amount of time.

The cool thing was I also wrapped the database lock under the distributed in memory lock so in the case of a net split the database’s lock’s got my back. In normal circumstances it made things scalable because the in memory lock would prevent the client from connecting to the database until the in memory lock was let go.

In elixir doing these things are really intuitive and enjoyable and without requiring an external dependency. I think it took me only a couple of days work design / implement and solved the problem.
They did not done this on Android.

But you know what is reality and not FUD? App Stores pushing legal apps out, at least people in EU could have an option when this will continue to happen.

I think the GP question was how to migrate your eSIM to another phone.

You can transfer the sim but it needs to be activated on the other phone. I have even seen reactivation charges of €5.
The real issue is with software distribution.

You, personally, can turn off Windows Defender, but your users probably have no idea why the app they're trying to run doesn't work when they double click it. They're also probably shown multiple scary warnings that discourage them from using the app and trick them into thinking it's broken or malicious.

It's a hurdle just to convince users such an app isn't malware, and then it's an entirely other hurdle to help them actually run the software by bypassing Defender.
Its not "part of the colorado river." It's an artificial lake, a reservoir, that has only existed for 87 years, when humans created the hoover dam. Its natural destiny is to evaporate, and it's always been true that it will only exist as long as we keep refilling it by means of artificial water redirection, at a faster rate than we consume water from it and it evaporates. So it makes no sense to claim it's under capacity due to climate change, when the primary factor is increased water usage. It's not some natural geographic feature that's been tapped dry by human activity. It's a puddle we made in the desert.
I don't water my lawn. It still grows. We get rain and it's more than enough for the grasses that grow here to prevent lawns from turning into dirt yards. It's not like a cartoon out here where everyone lives on sand dunes.

They won't be healthy, but they absolutely will grow, and very tall.

I'm actively trying to kill it. It's difficult and takes weeks to turn it into a dirt yard. You still have to dethatch and do everything anyone else has to do across the country.

You're also encouraged to participate in water conservation as a Phoenician, or an Arizonan in general.
That limits what they can do, but it doesn't mean they can't do anything malicious. Someone could make a YouTube app which removes ads, but steals your session so that they can viewbot or spam comment sections with legit accounts.

I was expecting the comment section to be negative about this, but not nearly unanimously so. I'll be contrary and say that in my last two jobs as a senior software eng, I've given six weeks notice and it's worked out very nicely.

I was not just shown the door immediately, I got a chance to get closure on some projects, and have a number of knowledge dump sessions that I hope were helpful to people. I think my collaborators appreciated the longer notice, but of course it's difficult to say.

The way I did it was to give my manager six weeks notice, then tell my close collaborators at four weeks, most everyone else I worked with at two weeks and then sent a "this is my last week" email. Still, six weeks seems like an outer edge to me—I can't think of any good reason to give three months notice.

The primary downside is that it is not really compatible with taking time off between jobs. Most places are reluctant to give you an offer for a start date more than a month out.
Sure, I'll take that bet. Can you definite 'immediately'? Would a month suffice?
You are right. See my other comment for some more details.
I'm guessing the authors are making an internal pitch that a16z should invest in upstash[1]? I'm not feeling it personally - the whole hypothesis seems definitely not aligned with what I've seen.

I've never seen people trying to build transaction guarantees into their whole microservices stack using Fancy New Startup Tech[tm]. What I have seen a lot is people building transaction guarantees into their stack using something like event sourcing and cqrs. You pay some complexity but what you get in return is a transaction guarantee when events are processed which guarantees consistency when you need it (eg financial transactions etc), and the view part is eventually consistent but is always accurate as of a point in time.

[1] https://upstash.com/about doesn't show a16z as an investor right now.

I am a leftie environmentalist, yet I found this interview quite balanced and informative: https://www.prageru.com/video/why-are-energy-prices-so-frick...

Frankly, we as a global society have FAR more pressing issues than the greenhouse effect, such as:

Collapse of insect and bird populations

Overfishing and plummeting biodiversity as we turn the world into farms and monocultures

Destruction of coral reefs and kelp forests and rainforests

One third of arable land WORLDWIDE is now undergoing desertification

Day zero for many cities as aquifers run dry

Plastic by mass will outnumber fish in the oceans by 2050

Factory farms overuse of antibiotics and superbacteria…

And so on… somehow this “climate change” thing has hijacked the conversation and sucked all the political capital for things like sustainability, switching to non biodegradeable plastics, ending factory farms, etc.

He didn’t “back down”, he gave free Blue to people who said they did not want the product as a gamble that with a little bit of time both their statements and the coverage of him comping it will fade from immediate awareness, but the checkmark still be on the accounts giving a message of endorsement of the offering (also, this article is conflating several different things: giving normal “Blue Check” status to some critics, and the creation of “Yellow Check” verified organizations and “Grey Check” verified “government or multilateral organizations”.) It is also, a gamble that any consequences for the Lanham Act violation inherent in the false endorsement will be sufficiently delayed and of insufficient magnitude to offset the benefit received.

I know Flight Simulator was originally developed outside MS and I think my tour wasn't that long after MS acquired it.

It's too long ago for me to associate the name 'Alan Boyd' with the person in question but I do remember that he had a loud, penetrating self-assured voice. (Incidentally, he spent considerable time demonstrating Flight Simulator's new features).

You're right, IBM was a large part of the discussion as back then it was the principal client for MSDOS. However, I came away from the visit with the understanding that MS was in full agreement with IBM's decision despite MS's dabblings with Unix.

I had a particular interest at the time as I had a S-100 Godbout CompuPro computer, and in addition to CP/M, I ended up putting Seattle Computer Products' DOS (SB86 from Lifeboat Associates) on it which meant that I had compatibility with MSDOS.

I can understand why MS would have wanted to differentiate MSDOS and the backslash being one way, what I'm still not clear about is why IBM would have wanted to make such a distinction.

Re $SWITCHAR, very vaguely, but from my point it added confusion. Like some other commands its implementation and architecture appeared to be the result of afterthought rather than good design. I've forgotten much of that stuff.
I've experienced something similar in Finnish. The best I can come up with is the memories are connected with the app. Without the app the association with the learned content is lost. Well, it's just a theory.
> I do believe you can use sandboxd with apps outside of the App Store

Yes, you can, it's trivial to do so. However, Apple does not make it easy to find out if an app is sandboxed or not, or what permissions it has.

The warning that macOS shows when opening an app not from the Mac App Store does not differentiate between sandboxed and non-sandboxed apps.
Personal computers really are the exception which proves the rule. Whether it’s the software in your TV, your pre-smart phone, your car, or your game console, locked down has always been the norm.
You make a good point about animal-based carbon emissions being a closed loop, but I don't think your conclusion that this loop doesn't accelerate the greenhouse effect is correct.

Methane degrades to C02 in 1-1 proportion. So at any time, if more atmospheric carbon is concentrated as methane than as C02 then the greenhouse effect will be stronger at that time (because methane is a stronger GHG). If agriculture removes 1 unit of C02 from the atmosphere (from feedstock) and emits 1 unit of methane (from cow) then total atmospheric carbon is unchanged but the proportion of methane, and therefore the total GHG effect, is increased at that time. Summing over time, and you get an increase in overall heat that has been trapped.
I'm not sure why people misconstrue "public ledger" with privacy.

> but will it be updated regularly with security fixes? will it support the latest connectivity technology like 5g? will it have built in support for the latest compression formats to take high res pics and videos? will it work anywhere in the world?

Er. Yes? To all of those? Trivially? Heck, Android does those, with the FOSS ROMs typically doing better than the closed vendor solutions.
Or, you could just buy Monero with a giftcard.
> Of course it's the natural state and an inalienable right to modify or do with the things you own in the way you see fit.

I agree. But that's not the same as the right to install whatever you want. It's not illegal to jailbreak a phone if you can and want to, but it's also not illegal for Apple to lock it down if they can and want to. That is and should be the default state. And it's the same for everything else, your car, washing machine, game console, etc. If you want general computers to be explicitly defined to include smartphones and uniquely regulated to force more requirements on manufacturers and more rights to users, then that's great—I agree with that—but at least admit it's a new and unique regulation and not the default state.

It's weird you chose houses and cars as your examples since they're both highly regulated in the opposite direction you’re asking for computers. You're heavily restricted to what you can modify in either of those and, as far as I know, there are no regulations that specifically require manufactures to allow users to modify anything. You can swap out parts on your car if it complies with regulations, but there's no law that you have to be able to install software; it's locked down harder than smartphones. And just like smartphones today, you do own it and can do what you want (excluding other regulations), but there’s no right to installation; it's just a lockdown/jailbreak competition between you and the manufacturer.

I’ve jailbroken my phones for years and love to do all sorts of personal modifications to my computers and other devices. I think regulations to protect device freedom are a great idea; I just want people to be intellectually honest about the debate.
I don't think that's a problem for Apple:

- For figurative developer moving 120k customers saves $72k/mo

- For figurative customers on $3/mo subscription it means ~$0.65/mo savings

- Such scenario doesn't take into account amount of work required for switch (5 minutes of form filling on $15/h is $2.5 - gain starts at 6th month)

- Neither it does UX around subscription management (right now it's very comfortable to manage Apple's subscriptions)

As a counter, anecdotal, point - I, myself, pay >$5/mo overhead on subscriptions and I'm completely aware that I can save money. My reasons:

- I'm too lazy to set up full account on provider's website

- Apple is VERY verbose about subscriptions, even if I forget about one, they e-mail me about it

- It easy to manage all my subscriptions and thus I only have subscription for things I use
I wish it was a separate corner, when the plant based ‘yogurts’ and ‘cheeses’ are right next to the real stuff and I’ve accidentally bought the plant based kind.

It reminds me of the routing for an integrated circuit to do a Fast Fourier Transform. The butterfly operation on which an FFT is based involves a crossover, so the basic problem in routing a planar chip is how to make all those crossed over connections. It would be pretty cool if the brain was doing an FFT!

He’s already saying that, since the people “gifted” verified status did not subscribe or verify a phone number (and several have specifically expressly denied doing either), and if you click on the blue check on it says that they are verified because they subscribed to Blue and verified a phone number.

You ain't being a prick at all; they're questions worth asking. Their answers do depend on optimism, but said optimism ain't "blind" in the slightest; rather, the optimism is a prescription: a goal for which we should be striving, and which we should be keeping in mind in our slow march toward an AGI-enabled potentially-post-scarcity society.

> Some carriers support SIM transfers from your previous iPhone to your new iPhone without needing to contact them

“Some” is true afaik. It’s at the providers discretion.

AFAIK it’s also only possible if you’re moving from iPhone to iPhone, not if you’re moving to an Android. I’m not certain moving back and forth between multiple phones is easily supported.

I like e-sims in general, but this is a downside for some use cases.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is always true for physical SIMs.

I recently bought a temporary SIM in the US during my holidays (StraightTalk) and was surprised that you can only use the physical SIM after you register online with you IMEI.
I haven't checked, but I imagine that after that the card would only work with that IMEI.

Fortunately, I don't think this is a practice in Europe.
