> Microservices can an do make sense even if you have 10 users making a hand full of requests, if those services are owned and maintained by distinct groups.

Maybe, but after the next CEO comes in, those groups would be reorganised anyway :-/

Few companies maintain their org chart for a large length of time. My last place had the microservices maintained by distinct groups when I joined. When I left a third of the people were gone and half the groups were merged into the other half.

This is not an uncommon thing. Going microservices because you don't want to step on other peoples toes is a good reason, but it's an even bet that the boundaries will shift anyway.
Should name it blasphemy
The article states that peer review is done on a volunteer basis, right? All Elsevier does, at best, is put PDFs of the papers on their servers.
There are several open access solutions but few (if any?) open source solutions. Arxiv is free but lacks reputation outside a small number of fields. PLOS One has a decent reputation in some fields and probably comes closest in being good value.

I know a couple of people working in this space, and ultimately it ends up being a networking issue: in order to get peer reviewers at a scale which is acceptable, you basically have to buy editors with networks of contacts. Since good or even mediocre reviewers are scarce, this ends up leading to significant competition for reviews. But reviewers are not compensated so there is no market pressure for reviewers to actually exist. Publishing is now a profit-driven system built on top of an informal network created by enthusiasts who were originally doing the work because it was important to them.

There have been a couple of attempts at matchmaking systems and rewards systems. https://www.reviewcommons.org/ is the most visible in my field, but they only get 1-2 preprint reviews out per day so far. This is still quite new and there are a couple of other platforms in development.
Sounds like (well-hidden) continental European ESL to me (e.g. German/Czech/Romanian) - learn from American TV & BBC world service or studying in the UK or whatever, and why would you learn a particular rhoticity? Especially if unimportant or not prominent in first language.
Good chance for apple to try to repeat dieselgate: only charge fast while tested. Circumventing EU regulations is clearly a business opportunity, while all small competitors suffer from them. Only bad luck, that they are an US company and thus nobody is willing to look away. Sincerely, I am really skeptical about all those EU regulations with such a clear enforcement deficit. I really wish the commission luck on this one.
Raft is a pretty decent -- not great -- consensus algorithm (IMHO) but it is used because it is easy to understand. If I had to trust one, I would probably go with Multi-Paxos, if you could successfully implement it.
I feel for him. Being in a knowledge heavy industry, I'm probably in the next round, when they will come for jobs that are extractive and not just generative.

that said, ai is still a lousy writer. I've tried to use it to generate stories, and they tend to always repeat the same themes and the same tropes, unless you jump in and provide a compelling skeleton for characters and plot or you spend a lot of time generating options and picking the best.

I don't know however if that is enough to make a job out of it because it's a skill that's quite easy to learn.
Finally. The Reminder, Tasks, and Calendar experience was all over the place for now a couple of years. Assistants creating one when you wanted the other didn't help either.
I recently bought an Apple TV. It's a great device, but comes with a remote that's USB-C charged. That's fine except that it doesn't come with a USB-C cable, nor does the device have a USB port that could be used for charging the remote. So I ended up having to buy a third party USB charger and cable (I just don't have that much USB-C stuff laying around). That pissed me off and I wasn't shy about, politely, letting the staff in the Apple Store know it - to be fair, they agreed with me it was ridiculous. I can't overstate how much I dislike it when I buy a consumer device and everything I need to operate said device isn't included in the box.

With that being said, the EU can fuck right off with this USB-C insistence. I've been using iPhones for 13 years now personally, and for 6 years with work. I have lightning cables coming out of my ears (a mixture of first and third party). Charging devices up with a lightning cable is incredibly convenient, and especially since I have USB connectors in many of the power sockets around my house. All of that is rendered useless because of the EU's loathsome meddling.

(I am generally an EU fan, but live in the UK which of course is no longer part of the EU. I can't say I'm at all happy about that but what I'm even less happy about is that even though we could potentially go a different route here, and a better route for people already in the Apple ecosystem who have the necessary accessories, Apple will no doubt consider it easier to supply EU compliant iPhones in the UK, for which I can't really blame them, but I'll gladly shake my fist at Brussels over it.)
Amazing. Been building a custom system on Aria while looking at the spectrum code for learning, familiarity with their architecture, and to avoid their style system as we are using tailwind..

I'm excited to try these out and possibly switch over and fill in the gaps. Lots of headless systems are locked into a particular styling system but this looks super flexible and will work perfect with Tailwind. Love the callback for classname that supplies states.

Hope they keep the slot props concept from spectrum.

Edit: Slot props are in! Can't explain how much I like the Spectrum projects.

My comment is not about the value that Elsevier adds. You are reading my comment as reviewers review papers these days.
Okay. Then I think I see where you're coming from.

From my perspective this was the mainly the first contact with the research presentation and the renderings, and I think those are undeniably very impressive to most people at this point in time.

But viewing it as a "Youtube value-add", or whatever the jargon for that phenomenon might be, I guess it's close at hand to judge it as poor, lazy work that doesn't do the original material justice.

I will also admit it is something of a funny juxtaposition to have the photorealistic, high-definition graphics along with voiceover that is very obviously artificial.
I know what Google is like. As a smartphone user, I only have two options if I want my phone and smart home to work in the same ecosystem: Apple and Google.

Could you expand on that?

The EU effort to standardize phone connectors led to nearly every phone manufacturer adopt micro usb and then usb c.

I don't see any reason that apple would be unable to use usb c after a everyone else uses it for more then 2 years.

They also manage the review process (screen papers, find reviewers, communicate with authors and reviewers), make sure that papers are accessible long-term (decades to centuries), typeset manuscripts, print paper issues, and several other tasks.

But yes, reviewers are not paid. A half-decent review can easily take 3-4 hours, and a typical paper gets 2-3 reviews, so something like 8-12 hours of PhD-level labor which are not currently compensated.
For me this moment was when computers were no longer “magical” to me and that I found comments to this effect (even from those that know more than I and were more senior) odd and kinda culturally cultish.
Thats one expensive s3 bucket
So you're mad that the regulation doesn't personally take your specific situation into account?

Could you maybe see or understand that maybe the regulation is a bit more "big picture" than specific individuals needs, like society at large?
> and BTW you cannot get the photos out at the same quality as you put them in

You can get the original photos out, but they're either making it annoying on purpose, or just don't care:

- When you download a photo through the web UI, you get the original file, metadata and all, but there's no way of batch-downloading everything.

- Google Takeout will give you the original image and the metadata, but they store them separately, and make no effort to put them back together and you have to do it yourself using one of many third-party tools. Given that they have the code to do it, this feels very hostile indeed.

How is all of that rendered useless? You have the USB connectors in your power sockets already, so all that's left to do is plug a USB-A to USB-C cable in.
> How much reshuffling of stuff already written a hundred times can we put up with?

A half-decent review is not a proper review. Just the fact you are saying it like that is basically accepting that nobody is doing proper reviews.
Scientists are smart so they don't bite the hand that's funding them.
First of all: the EU definitely had good intentions when regulating the charger mess. The amount of incompatible chargers rotting in drawers and (possibly) landfills could definitely be reduced over time by agreeing on a common physical and electrical interface.

However — limiting technical progress is not a good idea and we see that with the plethor of different power modes existing within USB-C.
Possibly politicians only saw the physical plug but never understood the depth behind it.

And that’s where we reach the limits. What if a company (Apple) comes up with a more efficient but also more elaborate way to quick charge their equipment? How would you handle a situation where non-compliant chargers could even harm this equipment?

USB-C already is way too complex for the average Shenzen cookie cutter factory to implement it correctly.

How would you protect your customers from such a situation?

While it may superficially look evasive I am willing to pick Apple‘s side here.
I think your point is the GBP2700 gatekeep is better than no gatekeep as you’d get worse

There's an old joke -- "how many people work in this company -- about half"

It's probably true. Certainly feels that way sometimes. The problem is how do you determine the right half to get rid of, at scale, without getting rid of the wrong people.
On what? This article is pure speculation, and Apple has been slowly moving more and more of their ecosystem to USB-C over time anyway. It sounds like good for the consumer that they don't have to throw out all of their existing cables at once.

.... and as far as I can tell USB-C is a shitshow of an ecosystem anyway. This entire article could just be saying that Apple devices could charge "slower" on random USB-C cables and only guarantee fast charging on Apple-branded cables....

... which sounds like Apple being anticompetitive if you know nothing about the state of the USB-C ecosystem.
The only thing elsevier manages is their website. The review process is managed by academics who also work for free. Typesetting is done by authors. Paper printing is basically extinct.
Well they are going to force people to bin all their lightning cables for this new one.
Thanks! I'm glad someone read the T&Cs after all the effort I put into them. :)
At least this thing should be clear. Apple's motto has always been "Think different". They were selling personal computers but wanted them to be different from PCs. In order to do that, they would introduce many changes that were presented as superior. And in fact, many (if not most) were actually excellent. Some, such as removal of ports, gluing parts together and making devices hard to repair, were plain user-hostile. In this case, it's mostly about the money though.

I'm glad at least someone is forcing a notoriously hostile company like Apple to play ball. Like you, I too have many cables all over my home and office. Charging my devices with any of them is incredibly convenient, especially since I never have to check if it's the right cable or not.

All of that is rendered useless when my girlfriend needs to charge her phone though, because the manufacturer decided it was worth it to price gouge its customers over fucking chargers of all things.

And this is the situation without any Apple phones involved. Both our phones support USB-C. But her phone is old enough and from a scummy manufacturer that hadn't been forced to stick to the standard when selling that phone.

You’re aware USB-A to USB-C cables exist right? None of your wall sockets are rendered obsolete, although admittedly you’ll need a few new cables/adapters.
I think it's more a mindset than possession of technical knowledge.

I needed to buy some new cutlery. I knew nothing about cutlery, so I went and learned about steel grades, serration types, food service industry standards, etc. In the end, after a few weeks of on-and-off research, I ended up with an excellent WMF set. I told this story to a friend and she laughed, remarking that she would have just gone to the store to get some.

Our needs were the same, but I took a detail-oriented approach focusing on the product, whereas she focused on the solution. Both approaches are valid for our respective priorities, but I'd hazard that the types of people who become engineers (be it software or something else) are more likely to relate to stories like mine.
Yes, really. I still have a box full of old transformers kicking around from the bad old days. Now about half of my stuff is USB-C powered, and in another 5 years when I finally ditch the last of my old stuff I won't need a bunch of 5, 9, 12, and 15 volt power connectors (some AC, some DC) with 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 amp capabilities, in three different barrel connector sizes and two polarities. And of course Apple's connectors and HP and Lenovo's custom laptop connectors.

To be clear, I am pro USB-C, but I do get the arguments from the other side.

If I have a lightning cable and a device with a lightning port, I can plug it in and not really think much about it.

If I have a device with a USB-C port and a USB-C cable, I have no idea whether I can charge at full speed or even charge at all.

As an example, I plug my Xbox controller into my PC via USB-C. It keeps it fully charged. Recently I tried to plug in my USB-C headset into the same cable and it didn’t charge at all. In fact my headset died shortly after I unplugged it (after “charging” it all night), which was a bit of a pain. Turns out it can charge with my laptop charger or my iPad charger but not the Xbox cable plugged into my PC.

Maybe this isn’t a totally fair comparison, but it’s my personal experience.
Can I ask what is your purpose to keep up with it? The answer can better direct your actions.

What technical progress.

Don't you think that 20V and 240W that are the maximum for Power Delivery are enough to fast charge a smartphone? Even laptops use it!
> The EU effort to standardize phone connectors led to nearly every phone manufacturer adopt micro usb and then usb c.

So, in other words, the EU forced one standard, which it is now abandoning (generating piles of micro-usb e-waste), and is now doing it again. And this is Apples' fault for not moving to USB-C in... 2012.

Didn't Apple use USB-A wall chargers with the 30-pin for phones at a time when everyone else was on proprietary power bricks?
Apple can easily afford this. The real reasons for their foot-dragging are their need to differentiate their products, and their need (driven by their organisational culture) to feel that they are in control.

It's definitely been my experience that reviews are hit-or-miss. Sometimes you get 1-2 reviews where there are valid points that need to be addressed, sometimes you wait 3 months for the reviews to come back, only to find that reviewers 2 and 3 dropped out and reviewer 1 basically said "looks fine".

Part of the challenge of peer review is that it comes _after_ the paper is written, when the cost of changing anything is quite high. I find much more value in peer review when planning experiments, and do so informally with my peers.
Document states "was to" use, which for me sounds it does not yet use.

If apple want that new standard that's fine, but they shouldn't be allowed to use it as a USP -- everyone else should be able to implement it, with no licensing.
Not a DNS expert but I believe you can get regularly updated copies of zone files from ICANN. To get domains not under their observation I expect you can go out and make deals with registrars on an individual basis. For an individual or small organisation, probably easier would be to subscribe to an API that does it.

I think Apple not providing all the parts needed to charge the iPhone is more surprising. Reduced waste is great but at the same time it is a way to myddy the total cost of buying a gadget. Apple cables are quite expensive and break in use.

But we can't stay on Lightning just because it's convenient, otherwise we'd still be on Apple's 30-pin connector. Even Apple seem to think USB-C is better and was one of the first to move to USB-C with the Macbook. iPad Pros have been USB-C for years, with the regular iPad finally getting USB-C recently. Should we have a law instead of force Apple to keep using Lightning to fix your Apple TV remote anecdote?
With the same Xbox cable but with a proper charger, does it work?

Most of the time, you avoid problems of "PD device hierarchy" by using a proper charger (i.e. a device that only has the functionality to charge other devices).
