Slide 2 says it all: business model = speed, innovation, customer obsession.

Worker safety not only isn't priority #1 -- it's completely absent !!!

Let alone the broader concept of employee "well-being."

Think about it: large employers of course optimize employee happiness and turnover ("regrettable losses"). Like Henry Ford reducing parts cost until the car breaks down uniformly [1], companies like Amazon and Walmart reduce pay/benefits and working conditions, until they cannot recruit enough workers.

This is why we have labor laws and why unions exist.
> So all in all, Germany still has homeless people, despite welfare programs generous enough in principle that no one needs to be homeless.

One of the reasons is that for being part of those programs, the people have to want to be re-integrated, leave out any kind of drugs that there were using, take part in employment trainings,... and not everyone is keen in going through that and rather stay on the streets.

just few days ago I crafted together some ideas i had couple of years already for a configuration language, syntactically like HCL but without HashiCorp's idiosyncrasies.

The future where every little thing is up to a direct vote through an app sounds dystopic to me.

Setting aside the author's very clear ideological inclinations, the fact is the more things people have to agree on, the more conflicts will arise. We could lower the operational cost for taking a decision, but the human and social exertion remains. Actually, by making it easier to put up anything for debate, the effect will be to take more decisions into the sphere of the state.

But the worst of this is that it assumes that Government's role is to fulfill the wishes of citizens and in this framework, AI and software are the tools to learn what those wishes are.

This is sometimes called "LoFi" development these days and there's a Discord where people discuss it:

https://localfirstweb.dev/

Despite the name it's not really a web exclusive community.

Actually the web isn't a great way to do this, there's alternate stacks that maybe can work better. The Android stack has been rewritten in recent years by Google and parts are now usable on desktop and iOS. Someone posted this to the Kotlin slack earlier today:

https://medium.com/@mike_21858/auto-generating-an-http-serve...

I’ve been working on apps for limited connectivity environments such as Afghanistan and rural Rwanda for many years. I think we have to make offline-first a lot easier than it is now. Our own app Ustad Mobile has more than 60 tables in the database. Writing manual logic to run all of those offline would 1) exceed the resources we have and 2) be prone to human error.

This article introduces Door: our open-source way to automate the generation of an offline-first data layer using Kotlin Multiplatform and Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP). Door is still a work-in-progress and not ready for production use in other apps yet, but we think it’s a game-changer for offline-first development. Feedback on the concept and API is welcome. Door can automatically generate HTTP server endpoints and an offline first client based on a Room database.

The idea is that you can use Kotlin for both server, Android and also a desktop client, and with KMP you're also able to use it on iOS for the backend (UI is still in Swift). So you can share your domain model across all devices and the underlying sync protocols and logic can be auto generated using a compiler plugin. The underlying DB is SQLite wrapped using a library from Google called Room which makes SQLite a bit easier to use.

Deploying such an app on Android is obvious, for iOS you need to learn about Kotlin/Multiplatform but obviously SQLite can run on iOS just fine and Kotlin can interop with Objective-C/Swift. For desktop, deployment is easy if you use Conveyor, which the Ustad guys are planning to do, as it supports Kotlin desktop apps out of the box. You do need to buy signing certificates (or distribute via the app stores) but that's a one time cost.

The main issue here is if you're wedded to the web. Probably stuff can be done with WASM but it's not going to be as natural as just using the tech on the JVM.

That is exactly the problem, Unity knowns that there isn't any good alternative.

Sure, there is Monogame, Silk.NET, Stride, however they don't tick all the boxes that Unity offers.
Yes and no. Firstly, hobbyists should make games...not engines [1]. You don't need an engine to make a game. Secondly, people don't need every imaginable feature like what Unreal or Unity provide. It just needs to do what they need it to do to make the game, thus it can be greatly simplified compared to the big guys.

I'm not an industry analyst, but the packaging issue seems a bit overblown.

Yes, packaging for this kind of high density design as an iPhone is very specialized, but it does not contain the precious IP and the security concerns it carries.

Also, iPhones and any costumer electronics at this level of complexity and scale will be assembled in China for the foreseeable future, and this is more like a stop in the middle of a journey than a round-trip.

Maybe this website is too Apple-focused, or maybe I'm missing something, but "older" technology makes the bulk of the ICs manufactured and is much more strategic than the latest Instagram filter accelerator processor. Maybe by value bleeding-edge nodes are bigger, but by volume they are not even close.

By the way, I won't miss if my car comes without infotainment with the latest GPU, but I surely hope the ABS processors are there. Or even the shitty microcontroller that every single button seems to hide nowadays.

And for most applications that do not require incredibly high density, there are plenty of packaging plants in the US (I google and got this [1] as a first result. Sorry, not an analyst). And even the advanced packaging seems to be getting attention that this article does not acknowledge [2].

> But there has to be an alternative so that advertising can continue to hold up the internet and keep it freely accessible.

Sure, the alternative is paid sites and free (user created and supported) sites. This is what existed for decades before the web, and for the first decade of the the web. It was a better, safer, more democratic net - one orientated around information, education and self expression rather than persuasion and commerce. If you don't miss it, it's likely because you never experienced it.

Advertising is literally a rebranding of propaganda, it consumes our attention, readjusts our values, blights usability, and sways us from rational, connected individuated thinking and decision making - toward conformist, manipulated, consumptive decision making. It's a cultural blight.
Governments do test products now and then, yes. But they aren't in the habit of routinely testing new products when they hit the market. I don't know what prompted this particular test, but it wouldn't surprise me if the ANFR just one day decided to test a bunch of models of iPhone (or a bunch of phone models in general) kind of arbitrarily.

There was a similar case recently where Sweden's equivalent decided to test a bunch of models of EV chargers and found some lacking.

In general, outside of these random tests, "they check the paperwork, not the thing itself" is correct.
Both the Ars Technica and securelist.com articles say "Debian", with no mention of "Ubuntu".

NTFS was not an innovative file system. It has just used several innovations introduced earlier by HPFS.

The High-Performance File System, a.k.a. HPFS, has been included in OS/2 1.2, which was launched in November 1989.

HPFS was a very innovative file system (its chief architect was Gordon Letwin). It has introduced the Extended File Attributes. It had directories implemented with B+ trees, like IBM VSAM (introduced at some time between 1973 and 1978). It had long file names and Access-Control Lists, like the Multics FS (1965). It used cylinder groups like the Berkeley FFS (1983). It used file extents, like the SGI EFS (1988).

Among the UNIX file systems, the SGI XFS (1993, almost simultaneous with NTFS) has been the first which has added all the innovations introduced by HPFS.
Tried to get pouchdb / rxdb working on a number of projects over the years. Hoodie also. Ran into "too hard" problems every time and fell back to something else :/

I think what I liked the least was the complexity introduced to the client (a fun statement considering some of the apps I've worked on recently). Instead of being able to abstract away business logic behind a simple API, it was there in all it's "haute logique" glory - hardwired into my otherwise dead simple todo app.

That said, still love the concept. Keen to try some of the new names. Tho the idea of it living in a worker, where it can be queried / controlled / deployed (or replaced) as if remote, has a nice ring to it?
There is nothing built-in for it per se. I think you just have to sign the application from a postbuild hook, I think. I remember discussing this with the person that contributed the Mac build, but I don't remember the result of the discussion exactly. I think that was it though.
Everybody who got one of these to show took pics of how big it was, apparently. Or the Marketing team dictated they all post the same blog post.

"18k resolution" etc; multiple prints made... makes me wonder "made from what?" What kind of "original" are they pulling prints from? Is there some special super high res film transfer box for this? Long ago I had one of those, it was a 6in CRT that did 2k x 2k and that was from the 80s. I'd love to hear about the CRT or whatever they're using to put this kinda resolution on film.

The company that released a computer with only a single usb-c port wasn't moving towards usb-c all along? They've included a usb-c to lightning cable in the box for awhile. Apple remembers the 30 pin transition and the customer complaints so they have tried to make this move a bit more staged. Even then, I've already seen tons of complaints from non-tech users about having to buy new cables.
they probably don't do it because it's a bad solution.
> Anything that includes France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, will inevitably drag everyone else one way or another.

Maybe so, but whatever it became wouldn't be the EU and wouldn't include most of the current members states. It's obviously still an impossibility, as there is no appetite in any of those four countries for a federal EU.

> The funny part is that unless something crazy happens very few of those videos ever get watched.

I do agree some percentage of people definitely just shoot long videos and take a million pictures that nobody looks at, but in my household we look at them all the time. But I'll only take like one or two photos and a short 10 second video of my kid going down a slide, not try and record the entire trip to the playground every time.
I think maybe you should familiarise yourself with how e.g. ext4 works.

You can unlink a file and have a process still hold a reference to the inode. This allows you to continue reading (or executing) a file which may not have been fully mapped yet even after its last filesystem reference is gone.

There really isn't that much of a good reason to disallow deleting the files (assuming NTFS is capable of supporting a similar situation) except maybe for the fact that loosening a guarantee is still breaking an API in this scenario (someone might be relying on an executable file not being able to be deleted for some bizarre program feature).

I do wish Microsoft allowed more tweakables like this (so you can disable legacy behaviour if you feel you don't need it).
Definitly, that is the biggest selling point for Unity, it is a C# based game engine, with a C++ core like most engines, however what everyone writes is C#, with Burst (a C# subset for C++ like programming) they were even in the process of rewriting parts of the C++ core in C#.

So any engine whose game code isn't C# is a deal break for existing Unity users, as the only thing remaining are the assets.
My simplified understanding is that the author is not advocating for punishing family members. Instead he is trying to discredit consequentialism, a position that an act is morally right based on the outcome. In that view retribution serves no utility since it doesn't maximize good and only causes suffering. The consequentialsit has to find a reason for punishment, and they say that it's a deterrence for future crime, which is a good outcome. But punishing families would also provide even more deterrence and the good from it would probably outweigh the bad of punishing innocent family members. But remember, a consequentialist should only care about the outcome so the act of punishing innocents isn't morally wrong in itself. The retributionist author on the other hand believes in the inherent morality of punishing criminals and immorality of punishing innocents.
And even then, people complained and said it was a money grab from Apple to force people to buy new cables.

Why would we put any weight to that promise in general? Or is the philosophical premise that humans never lie?
They've been actively fostering the enshitiffication of the App Store. Practises like preventing paid upgrades forces developers to use micro-transactions to survive. They also aggressively change and deprecate APIs without adequate notice or documentation. This means apps require constant maintenance. So one-time purchases are much less viable for developers.

Soon we'll be able to install whichever apps we like in the EU thanks to the DMA. I think there is a hunger for alternative app stores.
> So I am not horrified by the discussion of family retribution and don’t automatically reject the idea without consideration.

You should trot your idea around a a thought experiment where members of a family ascribe to different morale frameworks.

I'll throw in my 3c, it was 2016 and I've been trying to create a fully static x86-64 Linux binary, to hopefully avoid all the problems with DLL hell (as Löve links to an awful lot of stuff, and judging by the .so numbers it was unlikely to work in a year or two). TL;DR I've spent more time fighting the linker than writing the actual games ;)

I didn't want to rely on whatever-version-of-löve-this-distro-has-packaged because Löve at the time would break API compat quite frivolously. You can probably use an AppImage these days but I think this goes against the intent and spirit of Löve. It should be trivial to build entirely self-contained binaries; and in case of Windows/Mac, it was indeed the case (modulo code signing).

Why It Takes Forever to Get a Doctor's Appointment
Paid sites restrict access to those with less money. Free sites are charities affordable only to those with more (and regularly die off with too much traffic). How is that more preferable?
You're arguing against a straw man.

Most people do not consider driving a car to be a morally wrong act, certainly not one deserving of retribution. The complexities of society, negative externalities, and infrastructure are built into our moral code.

The author is not advocating for some utilitarian scheme where every possible harm you have contributed to must be paid back to you. I think you understand the difference between "morally heinous act that deserves retribution" and "participating in a society"
Or you can't do charity that just enables poor behavior and traps people in it.

The way Spotify allocates stream revenue to artists has been extremely broken for a long time. It's been chock full of scammers for ages.

Likewise Windows can be configured that way via AD.
I'm not the OP, but for me it's the absolutely braindead design decisions around arrays, respectively the lack thereof. Arrays (or lists, vectors, sequences, whatever) are such a fundamental concept that not supporting them directly is inexcusable in my opinion, and very annoying in practice. You can abuse tables (i.e., hashmaps) as arrays, but they exhibit very strange behavior and footguns. For example (keep in mind that #a is supposed to return the length of a table-abused-as-an-array):

> a = {}
> a[1] = "x"
> a[2] = "y"
> a[3] = "z"
> #a
3 -- okay
> a[2] = nil
> #a
1 -- wat
> a[4] = "w"
> #a
4 -- wat
> a[2] = nil
> #a
4 -- okay (I guess)
> a[4] = nil
> #a
1 -- wat

You can't just print a table, it will only display its memory address – you'll have to write that function yourself. Considering that tables are the fundamental non-scalar datastructure in Lua, and Lua is supposed to be a scripting language with a REPL, this is mind-boggling.

Oh, and a table doesn't keep track of the number of its elements, you have to manually iterate over all elements and count them because of ... reasons?
