There has been at least one massive exploit that involved malware cloning Android phones to run a banking app in virtual machines on a server. Perhaps Apple just wants to prevent something similar happening with iOS.

I’ve seen a study showing that people who run a lot may actually live shorter than people who just do moderate exercise. Extreme exercise could be as bad as no exercise at all.

I could care less about that, I just want it to appear in Files.app

Some of this seems very familiar, in a good way, which makes me very interested in Bluesky and the AT protocol. I worked with XRIs and was on the XDI TC. I also was on the fringes of some of the early DID spec work, and experimented with Telehash for while.

I know Jeremie Miller is on the board, is Telehash or something similar being used within Bluesky?

Also, I'm sure you get this a lot, but I'd love a BlueSky invite please.

Yep, definitely seconds, although it's weird that the numbers are just presented by themselves, without any information about what system specs they're from. The point here is to highlight the relative difference, of course, but it would still be nice to get an idea of where the absolute numbers stand and what kind of machine you need to get these numbers.
That’s a pretty nice idea. The problem of knowing what state has been invalidated often drives me away from using a notebook. So it is nice to see this solved.
I have not looked much at AT, but it seems it solves many of the same problems as Matrix. Instead of redoing all the Crypto and everything, why not build on martrix. There were other Twitter like things on Matrix before.

As far as I'm aware its developed on Matrix and had some connection with it, so this isn't a case of not knowing about it so there is likely some engineering reasons why this was not done.

Would be interesting to understand.
As soon as you pay reviewers, you now have to deal with people pretending to be academics and pretending to review a paper just to earn money, which adds additional cost. Not to mention that money can introduce biases even if the reviewer is genuine.

Using the Spotify Rest API it is already possible to build nice feature rich Spotify clients for remote players. I don't think there is a supported native playback library? I'm not sure how local playback is implemented in this project.

The main problem I have with the Spotify API is that its remote playback management API is limited/incompatible with some players (Sonos).

I often though we would benefit from having some kind of shell, only a mix between ipython qtconsole et jupyter.

Not an editor like jupyter, rather a shell with a REPL flow. But each prompt is like a jupyter cell, and the whole history is saved in a file.

But if you don't create a file, it should work as well. One of the annoying things about jupyter is that you can use it without file on disk unlike ipython shell.
True, but too simplistic a story. "Billionaire" (when not inherited) generally requires EQ more than it does IQ. And a somewhat sociopathic obsession with attaining extreme wealth certainly helps.

Also - both the beliefs of billionaires, and social belief about them are very much shaped by human nature. Kings getting inflated self-images from the flattery of competing hangers-on was an old trope back when Rome was still a one-horse town.
Great job on the half!

As somebody who’s recently started running marathons. you’re 100% correct to enjoy half marathons and lower distances until you “have to” run something longer.

The marathon is the first common race distance where it just doesn’t feel like the human body is particularly made to do it. The training takes more time and is more work. Lots of long runs have the potential to end up feeling ominous instead of relaxing.

Also I suspect that once you’re running full marathons at a decent pace, your training has probably crossed over from increasing health to decreasing health.

I'd assumed that global fastmath was a bad idea in general, and assumed that was the reason for making this a no-op. Is there a reason it's particularly bad in Julia, some assumptions the standard library makes or something?

> Are traffic infractions criminal?

This is often actually an area where toubwill find conflicting info; public info provided by the California state courts says yes, they are, in California [0], while you will find other sources, including law offices, saying they aren’t. [1]

The issue is largely that they are structured as crimes in state law, but the manner of punishment available does not make them “crimes” within the purview of federal Constitutional protections, or federal statutory consequences for conviction of state crimes (e.g., in the immigration system.)

The issue is not "access" to your data. You're not forbidden from accessing your data in any case. The real issue is that it may be bad to have full and sole responsibility for maintaining backups of your social media data.

1) If you add image files and especially video files to the mix, the size of your data can get huge.

2) Smartphone users especially don't have a ton of free storage space.

3) In general, people aren't great at maintaining their own backups.

The question is why a so-called distributed network can't maintain distributed copies of user data, rather than forcing the burden onto the users.

I cannot express how frustrating and unprofessional Apple comes across, that you have to sit and watch YouTube videos, to try and find some documentation for iOS development.

> WWDC videos can be immensely useful to get inside information about how things actually work

Imagine if we could have proper text based documentation on how things actually work? I don't know why this isn't the case. I'm sure they can afford it. Maybe it's just lack of respect for developers? "They seem to figure it out anyways"?
I believe that the desire for human connection is more important than simply having access to information. In this conversation, we are engaging with each other as humans, rather than relying on a virtual assistant to listen and offer a different perspective.

This is why there are tons of communities out there. Having an online community is interesting for people that work remotely and want to find ways of connecting with people with the same interests.

Run any consumer device for more than 4 weeks and it'll slowly accumulate all kinds of weird bugs. I've seen smartphones unable to receive SMS because they simply ran too long without reboot, a Windows PC where selecting files wouldn't work anymore etc.

> we'd be hearing anecdotes of one-character diffs appearing out of nowhere all the time

On consumer devices it might simply be a small "attack" surface. A server running 24/7 serving countless requests would probably see more issues than a laptop running idle 95% of the time and loading a website every few minutes. Also a bit flip isn't guaranteed to cause a noticeable bug - and if it does it might not stand out from the usual noise of janky software oddities.

> Workers are being squeezed on one end and small farmers are being squeezed on the other, and the gains go somewhere else entirely while small communities fall into despair and die out.

This seems to have all started when we turned the dollar into a melting iceberg jn 1913 (created the Federal Reserve, which is basicaly a cabal of private banksters with a veneer of government), and it intensified when we decided to make dollars our primary national export product in 1971 (when Nixon closed the gold convertibility window for foreign central banks). Since then, workers are squeezed for working hard and trying to save for the future, but not understanding that if they're saying in dollars they'll never get ahead.

My guess specific to farming is that federal subsidies for corn and energy have driven prices up in ways that price smaller-scale farms out of the market.

>This is another thing that pisses me off about permaculture people, they encourage inefficient use of land in urban environments, leading to a whole bunch of other problems, including higher land value, more need for cars, and MORE environmentally and economically draining suburbs. I don't want a community garden in my most important economic areas, I want housing and workplaces.

I dare say the vast vast majority of land affected by such influences would probably be lawn or the like otherwise.
Suburbia in the vast majority of the western world isn't exactly rife with small scale subsistence farming and the places where these practices have contributed a meaningful amount are relatively densely populated places in Europe where it used to be the norm and plots were divided accordingly in an inflexible way before the scale of modern agriculture being common.

When it comes to market gardening for income you need more even if less. It is extremely rare for it to make sense in an urban environment where denser construction is an option not blocked by other factors.
In many places you can get many manyfold the acreage by selling off and going outside of such urban environments.
Mine just hit 10 years. I've started out without thinking much about what I would write about. At one point I've defined some target groups to get a regular readership. This changed the way I wrote my posts, but not in a good way. I was happy to abandon the "I want subscribers" in favor of (mainly) "I want to provide solutions". This mindset fits my style and my motivation for writing. If there's an issue I have solved, I hope for people finding my post explaining potential solutions. If there's something I have learned, I write it once and can share it with people when it's relevant. This leads to interesting results, where a post I have put much effort into doesn't get much views, while a short "My Putty color scheme" post is one of the most visited, despite myself not having used Putty for years. And that's totally fine.

There are no "EU citizens" only citizens of EU member countries. None of those countries have freedom of speech as expansive as Americans but Americans in practice also don't have absolute freedom of speech.

1) Certain speech such as "shouting fire in a crowded theatre" has long been considered illegal.

2) The US has much more expansive laws about "conspiracy to..." which make it illegal to have certain conversations.

Oh, those don't count? Not real speech. Sure, why not.

3) Most people will experience very real economic consequences for a very wide range of speech. We're not all yeoman farmers entirely independent of paid employment.

That presumably doesn't count because only governments can restrict liberties? Well, have it your way but I would regard losing my job due to speech as a pretty severe restriction on my liberty.

> Also I would much rather support Google and independent creators

Of the independent creators I know about, not a single one is satisfied with YouTube and their draconian rules. They all have their own sponsors in the videos and Patreon accounts. Google, like other major tech companies, has proven time and again they care about their bottom line above all. Let’s not pretend they are good guys standing up for the little guy.

> rather than Netflix and the entertainment industry.

Wasn’t Netflix specifically a big supporter of independent creators, giving a lot of them a chance they wouldn’t have gotten otherwise? There was even a running joke that anyone could get a show on Netflix. Perhaps I’m mistaken or that has changed but it seems like any other of the big streaming services would be a better target for that comment.
