I've never had an iPhone before, but am making the switch. I pre-preordered (i.e selected what I wanted, a 15 Pro), and had that ready to go in my account when it went live (13:02 in the UK). Checkout process was pretty quick, just needed to sign in with my Apple ID and then confirm a couple of details. Was done by 13:04. Supposedly have a delivery date of 22nd September, but we'll see about that! A few days won't matter ironically as I'll be at PyConUK, but here's hoping.
The way I had a lawyer relate this to me was along the lines of:

I ask a lawyer about the legality of specific acts I am considering. This is privileged conversation.

I send an email to someone else telling them to do something (which may be in violation of one or more laws). I copy legal counsel on the email and "request their input on their subject at hand". This is not privileged communication.
Yeah, as an American these things are always surreal - I grew up in the 80s when vehicles were getting heavily optimized for air resistance and weight so it’s weird seeing it as an improvement for vehicles to get … lower MPG than the car my dad bought when I was in elementary school and the most popular models are basically “what if we took a brick and added macho decorations along with a 40% markup?”
this - this is the reason. Large functions accrue state and state begets bugs over time.

Extraordinary claims require corresponding evidence - simple as that. There wasn't anything that isn't simpler to explain through some combination of grift and delusion.

Edit: I am specifically talking about aliens, insinuation of aliens, hinting at aliens, waving one's hands vaguely at something that sounds like it might be aliens, and generally treating aliens as equally or nearly as probable as mundane explanations for various reports.

Obligatory xkcd link about there being 15 solutions to a problem and someone creating a 16th
Interesting. I routinely have 100's of tabs open on a 10+ year old thinkbook with 16G in it (they were only sold with 8 at the time but replacing the two 4G modules with 8G modules worked, 16G does not seem to work).

Firefox has an about:performance gizmo that can tell you which tabs are misbehaving, this has already led to me blacklisting some sites completely, others just to close when not in use. Especially image carrousels can be very resource hungry.
I think this is an experience thing. There are a lot of inexperienced developers, and inexperienced developers tend to become very attached to development philosophies, and attribute all problems to the lack of adherence of their pet philosophies.

This tends to wear off with exposure to the real world. Not only will you find undeniably good code that's written in flagrant disregard to the holiest of doctrines, you'll also find garbage written The Proper Way, more damning still sometimes you'll discover it was written by your own hands.

I don't think it's a coincidence many of the ideas that have the most fervent and zealous followers have names that sound righteous, if it isn't clean code it's pure functions or more recently memory safety. Clearly nobody who is on the "side" of dirty, impure and unsafe code can be right?
I agree that's a possibility, but I'd rather the chance some of those accounts get linked than give my data to Google.

The reason I did that wasn't privacy in the first place, so any privacy benefits are a bonus.

I did it so I can easily block spam from a business, easily 'unsubscribe' to any list without jumping through hoops, and can also see which businesses are not playing nice by sharing my data.
I'm a bit puzzled by the tone of the piece in that the author frames it as a critique yet also points out how much easier it is to repair. I was anticipating some literal 2.5" SSD-like empty husk.

Eh, more battery adds cost and weight. If components are getting small enough that we no longer need to do gymnastics to cram everything in, that seems like a win from a design and repairability standpoint.
My experience has been the same. While I find the publicly available evidence rather lacking, I don't feel comfortable dismissing the testimony of high-ranking intelligence officials and would like their claims to be investigated seriously.

As for the general public, their thinking appears to largely boil down to "if something as big as this was true, we would already know about it", together with the circular "there has never been any solid evidence, therefore everybody knows this is bullshit, therefore anybody who talks about it is a kook or a fraud, therefore it is not worth investigating".

I hope either Avi Loeb's Galileo project or the UAP Disclosure Act included in the NDAA 2024 bill will bring some clarity to the subject over the next couple of years.

There are rumors of witnesses coming out later this year with first-hand knowledge of reverse-engineering programs, but I doubt the general public will be swayed by testimony alone.
The oppressor is the lawmaker, who has infinite power over the corporations. "oppressed corporations" is a phenomenon that can and does exist in this context.
There's a dead comment here about how it was "actually a dam collapse, not a flood" and how no news source is reporting on that. From what I can gather, at a glance, at least the AP, The Guardian and Al Jazeera all state that the flood was the result of two dams collapsing and the cause of the collapse was the storm.

Even the article itself states that the two dams were poorly maintained and the collapse is the result of their state as much as the storm itself.

Given how many places have infrastructure rotting from either corruption or cost savings, I wonder how many more news stories we will see in the future that follow the pattern of "severe weather event results infrastructure failure killing thousands".
It’s amazing how more and more organizations are stating this is a real thing and every time detractors have a spin because they don’t want to have been wrong claiming everyone who was interested in UFOs was a batshit conspiracy theorist.
> Personally I think phone health effects exist, but more likely due to psychological effects of doomscrolling, social media use, etc. And effects on sleep of too-bright screens / phone use right before bed time.

I'd agree, there are far more studies floating around that claim measurable impacts on peoples mental health from social media which is typically delivered via smart phone.

I would venture a guess that a sunburn, essentially a radiation burn, and has more health impacts than cell tower radiation.

USSR/Russia has never attacked NATO, winning the peace by definition means that the prospects for war are very low from many decades if not forever, not zero probability. Ukraine can win the peace without fully removing Russia from current borders. It is up to them to decide what they are willing to trade for that peace, because reclaiming all the land by force will not win the peace, Russia will be even more humiliated and bellicose.

Consider Vietnam, the US lost the war but won the peace. Vietnam is very pro US

Hi; I'm an occasional contributor to FreeBASIC but have only had a brief look at EndBASIC and agree, these are in two different categories, they're not just different languages. Cool project!

FB is a compiler, almost fully QuickBASIC compatible (only when set to the qb 'dialect') but also competing with general purpose languages (I like to describe FB as a subset of C++98 with BASIC syntax and lots of BASIC additions like decent strings, but many FB users would be offended by any comparison to C++); EndBASIC is as you say. Without QBASIC's interpreter and environment FB is really missing part of the magic of QB. FB does compile to the browser via Emscripten, to DOS, and even to bare metal, but that's still very different from EndBASIC.

No, not really. SLAs are calculated on a per customer basis and generally have a legal definition in contracts if they're actual, functioning SLAs.

The status pages purpose is generally to head off a flood of customer reported issues. This is why you'll usually see issues that affect a broader subset of users on that page.
I think webhooks are even more misleading because they are server to server.
>Unreal has licenses which allow you to use one version of their engine FOREVER and they cannot revoke that license. So the author didn't fully research this. It is true that for NEWER version Epic can change this.

Maybe _you_ didn't research how Unity had this same exact clause and decided to just... remove it. The author is implying Unreal could do the same at any point in time.
If NASA cares about understanding UFOs so much, why don't they assemble a small team of people to do what Mick West does? Take videos of ostensible UFOs, figure out where and when they come from and cross reference them against flight logs from airplanes to rule out most of these videos. Why is one retired ex videogame developer able to do this while entire government organizations sit around on their asses for years saying "oh gee we just aren't sure what these videos show, but we know we need more funding!"
The law in case was in place three years ago as well, when it was broken.

Just because it took a bit to prosecute doesn't make it magically legal.
In my case it was pretty straightforward.

I wasn't a psychologist or psychiatrist, I was a Hospital Corpsman in the Navy (medical, kind of like a nurse), I went to what is called "C" school for training in psychiatry, and worked on a few different in-patient psych wards. The closest civilian equivalent would be somewhere between a psych tech and a psychiatric nurse.

As for how I got into that - I sort of fell into it. I did terribly in highschool, and grew up in a small, rural town. I didn't have a lot of options, so I joined the Navy.

I did well on the entrance tests, so was able to qualify for any job I wanted. The recruiter told me the best jobs were nuke power and hospital corpsman, I went with HM thinking it would be easier to get a civilian job afterwards.

I did so well on the exams, I was guaranteed a C school, after boot camp my options were pharmacy or psychiatry. Counting pills didn't sound interesting to me, so here we are.

This was all in the 90s, I'd been writing software and messing around with making games since the late 80s. Suddenly, in the mid and late 90s, writing code became highly in-demand. I bought a laptop (very rare at the time) and spent nights on the ward while the patients were sleeping teaching myself C, C++, and Visual Basic. I started moonlighting on my off time, and was able to get a full time job within a week of getting out of the service.

Been doing it ever since.
You may have just outed yourself as a member of the Apple Watch team with that device lifespan. The AWU was first commercially available ~12 months ago.
This solves so many problems. I always did the manual usb image using dd in shell. Never thought to make it into an app and query apple servers. To be frank, you shouldn’t have too - even Microsoft provides iso for its current operating systems.

That's not their focus at all. They're trying to be an all-things-entertainment company, currently, they are focusing on movie animation and digital character creation.
Same. The previous company I worked for we went all in on UWP for our Windows SDK.

Borland C++ is a 32-bit compiler, I believe the latest version is 5.5 and it came out in about 2000.

There is a newer version from Embarcadero, 7.20 from 2016[1].

The compiler in C++Builder is more modern and it will target 64-bit for Windows at least.[0]

What about this particular iPhone swayed you?

I'll be honest, I use iPhones for 10 years at this point. (the 4S really was extremely great technology for the time, retina display, skeuomorphic design, it felt quite luxurious to be perfectly honest), but now I feel like iPhones don't really offer much and this latest update is really... milquetoast.

So, I am genuinely curious; maybe there is a feature that is compelling that I'd be missing out with on going android (or windows phone) that I've become blind to.
The price for that will be felt decades from now. It also tells you something about how the anti-EU lobby was financed.
He tends to write only negative things about Google. So it's par for the course.
I wonder if there’s any cryptocurrency article from 2016 that would be worth reading today.

Cryptocurrency content ages like milk. Some of the original papers are worth reading of course, but by 2016 the influencers and hype shills had thoroughly taken over. That was the era when Buterin was calling Ethereum “a global supercomputer” with a straight face.
So google openly partnered with iFixit, and one of the products in that lineup is made primarily of glue.

Yup, that feels about right.

As people have pointed out. RISC-V didn't exist when they created the IPhone and wasn't even ready when they did the M chips.

>so I doubt a switch to RISC-V is imminent

I never claimed it was. My point was that Apple is not giving much money to ARM. So it really doesn't matter all that much.

My point was not that Apple would adopt RISC-V but rather that RISC-V would eat ARM market from below, and partly from the DC too.

The reason the original IPhone was ARM is because ARM was strong in the mobile market as they had many license in the mobile market already during the 90s and their chips were often together with mobile chips on an SoC.

But ARM already controls the mobile market almost totally, so there isn't much upside there, but lots of downside.

Large corporations are definitely being subject to *unjust* exercise of authority. "Hardship" on a corporation doesn't really apply at the scale of very large corporations because the "hardship" is spread out among the many, many shareholders and stakeholders of the successful company; of course, it's not to be seen - it's a relatively successfully company being attacked, in comparison to non-successful companies not being attacked, so hardship isn't to be seen - but the unjustment is still completely there.

Nobody is saying they don’t have a good history or tons of resources but company leadership is not a constant. They blew a multi-decade lead and do not appear to be reacting well enough to catch up – likely because their senior people need to admit that their hydrogen gamble failed, which is hard enough even when it doesn’t involve multi-billion dollar write-offs. This is especially so because hydrogen worked out exactly how basically everyone else predicted it would when they made that bet, so they can’t claim nobody could have foreseen this outcome.
Online dating is skewed because you have no way to know what someone is really like. All you get is a picture (which may have been photoshopped), and profile data (they might be lieing. If you do date someone you want them to look good because at least if the night was a bust you got to look at someone hot.
As someone who has spent many months in Ukraine since the late 2000s, even the last election was not what I would call “democratic” even if I think the truly preferred candidate won.

You would be shocked at how often votes are outright bought by candidates and their supporters and how much strong arming is done to ensure certain areas vote for a specific party.

This doesn’t mean I support Russia - I live in a border country (Estonia) myself.

He may eventually get the share to which he's legally entitled, though the lack of clarity on that topic is one of the points of contention
Interesting, right? It's like they can make so much money from tracking people in other countries/jurisdictions that paying a fine to the EU once in a while is just part of the payroll.
Pet peeve: these parts are not spare.
I think that no sensible rule of thumb is possible unless we're specifying a language, because language "density" can vary so greatly.

I follow wildly different rules of thumb about everything from line of code count to how many methods per class to whether or not that functionality belongs in a class in the first place, depending on whether I'm writing Java or Python or F# or Racket.
I think when you design a new device from the ground up you make them fit in a way that allows the remaining space to be a single large rectangle to be entirely filled with battery. This might require custom PCB to have some L shapes. Instead it looks like they took pre-existing components from other devices such as Pixel phones or the Google Home and put them in a larger case.

Hah. You realize you just said facts are facts and that facts are just that, they are neither right or wrong, hypocritical or amoral or immoral.

Hmmm. That’s tough to argue against when you put it like that.

Another way to put it is that many facts can be true at the same time. Superpowers are gonna Superpower, but they are also hypocrites operating on a double standard.
It's really really bizarre when you look at a teardown of a competitor like the iPad Air and see a similar amount of empty space.
Nothing you predicted has been proven. Although I agree that is the most likely scenario.
I was honestly curious until I hit the listbox comparison. The implementations for competitors look purposefully verbose to make Nue look better. The Svelte one in particular could look substantially similar to Nue, but after adding multiple seemingly useless layers and type definitions on top to get the same effect.

Once I saw that in the Svelte example, I couldn't help but wonder if the same applied to the others as well. It all seemed to me beyond simple marketing puffery and into uncharitable and misleading territory.

And honestly:

<option>BMW
<option>Jaguar
<option>Lamborghini
<option>Ferrari
<option>Ford
</select>

You'd only pay above a million user and need to have above in 1 million revenue.

Previously you weren't even allowed to use Pro/Personal if you made over $200k (not just per game).

> Now Unity want 1.000.000 x 20 Cent = 200.000,

Not saying the whole price model is not stupid but only those developers who are very bad at basic math would pay this. Everyone else would upgrade to pro.

> Now Unity want 1.000.000 x 20 Cent = 200.000

Again, not really. Even in this case only a subset of user would pay 20 cent.

Another example demonstrating the incompetence of Unity's marketing department, they should've understood that most people can't really memorize more than a single number or be expected to spend over 30 seconds reading something (now I'm not saying that this change overall was not a terrible decision but even a significant proportion of people commenting here don't seem to understand how their per install pricing is going to work).
To me it seems "objectively better" and "capable of shutting down your server remotely due to your server host" don't belong in the same solar system.
> The law often makes use of the reasonableness standard. I'm hard pressed to believe that carefully reading the hundreds of TOS and EULA's hoisted upon us is reasonable.

Yes, but there are two sides to "resonableness": The "what" side and the "who" side. "What" is the thing that should be resonable. But the overall resonableness just as much depends on the question: "for whom is this reasonable?". While a consumer cannot possibly be expected to really read all the ToS everywhere, a business maybe can be expected to do so. Especially for things that are very critical and integral to the business, like the license of that one framework you are building all your software upon. So I do think requiring a business to read and understand the Unity ToS is totally resonable.
In a conceet environment there can be thousands of people literally screaming. The only way to achieve an acceptable SNR throughout the venue is to crank the signal. Being able to feel your favorite music resonating in your body is also a big draw for some people.
